How do I get my Mac computer to stop asking me to autheticate every time i try to drag a picture or file into my Macintosh HD?

ever since i updated my computer it won't allow me to drag pictures or files in with out saying that i can't put the file in Mactintosh hd because it hasn't been motified and it asks me to authenticate and then i have to put my password. It's annoying to have to do this for every file!!! Please help!!!!

OK, thanks. You must have an Intel iMac then. This was in the PPC forum so I wanted to be sure.
Normally it is not a good idea to drag anything directly to the Macintosh HD icon. Try dragging the photos to directly to the iPhoto icon in the Dock which will then properly import them into your iPhoto Library. You can also drag them to your your Documents folder, or almost anywhere else, but if you want to view them in iPhoto you will need to import them anyway.
The authentication request you are getting is probably normal, since you ought not to put files where you are trying to put them. It won't hurt anything to do what you're doing but it will just make organization difficult for you.
Try that. If you are still having problems I will let you know how to fix it.

Firefox prevented this page from automatically reloading. How do I get trid of that? It asks me to allow every time it wants to refresh?

I constantly have the following in a bar at the top of the CNN page:
"Firefox prevented this page from automatically reloading". Ii is accompanied by an "Allow" button. How do I get rid of that. I also have on every site randomly highlighted words in green that, when moused-over, has a little pop-up with a marketing ad.

On the ES2, how do I get a pitch modulation (Pitch123) modulated by LFO2 to retrigger every time i hit a new key?

On the ES2, how do I get a pitch modulation (Pitch123) modulated by LFO2 to retrigger every time i hit a new key?
I understand this can be done with the LFO1, however, ideally I'd like this synced to the beat as can be done with the LFO2 but not the LFO1...
I hope that's clear enough.

You've discovered the limitation. The way I see it, you have 3 work-arounds:
1) Figure out the Hz equivalent to your bpm division and set LFO1 accordingly (google "bpm to hz calculator").
2) Time your notes to coincide with LFO2's timing (re-write your music and live with it!).
3) Set up the vector envelope with a synced sustain loop.

How do I get Creative Cloud.app to stop asking me for my old email address ?

How do I get Creative Cloud.app to stop asking me for my old email address that I do not have access to? I have reinstalled it several times and it stills asks for it! I spent several hours on Chat and my help specialist logged off before I had an answer to this issue. I'd prefer not to delete all of my files and apps associated with the CC suite. But I cannot update my apps without the panel letting me log in

OKay I finally found the answer- for some convoluted reason, you need to sign out from with an app from the help menu- Why is there not an option to signet on the app Panel?

You must first buy Snow Leopard from Apple: 800-MY-APPLE (in the US)
Make sure your system meets Snow Leopard's requirements:
Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" System Requirements
To install Snow Leopard for the first time, you must have a Mac with:

I am really angry that I get this message every time I try to update Itunes.
“The File ‘C:/documents and settings\DEAN\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple\Apple Software Update\itunes.msi’ is not a valid installation package for the product itunes. Try to find the installation package ‘itunes.msi’ in a folder from which you can install itunes.
What kind of gobbledegook is that? Are you or Microsoft crazy. Us computer users need simpler instructions. Or you need to write your programs so that they work.

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

How do I get rid of the space game that keeps popping up every time I open Firefox?

There is a space game that pops up every time I open the internet in Fire Fox. It does not do it in with Google Chrome or Internet Explorer. I have to click "control", "alt" "a" to get it to stop playing every time or it will continually send up little space like ships and make shooting noises (so annoying). I just want it off of there, so I don't have to mess with it. Can you please help me remove it.

If this isn't on the built-in Firefox home page, it could be caused by an add-on. To rule out one of your extensions is involved, could you try Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
Any difference?

How exactly can we use iCloud? If I have an Iphone4s and Macbookair, is it the same account? Cause every time I try to do the back up file its failed...am I having a two different accounts here. In iPhone and macbook

Hi I am new with apple. So many things I need to learn about it. Espcially for icloud. Its interesting. But unfortunately I don't really know how to utilise it. Do I have 2 iclouds since I have iphone 4s and Macbookair? Are they different account? or can I merge it? Cause as what I can see in my mailbox for icloud, I have 2 accounts there. Please help me with this.

Hi Rosdy, to get the most out of iCloud it is recommended that you use the same account between devices. Thus whenever you buy something on your phone it becomes accessible from your laptop regardless of whether your synced it over usb or not. *
For more information on iCloud usage please click here.
* This feature requires that both devices be on the same WiFi network.

Ever since I upgraded my computer to Mountain Lion, iTunes has crashed every time I try to open it.

Ever since I upgraded my computer to Mountain Lion, (I use a 20-inch, early 2008 iMac.) I haven't been able to use iTunes at all. Whenever I try to open the application, it immediately crashes and shuts down. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

I hope these steps help.
1) Make a new user - the steps are in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1199
2) Log into that user, open iTunes, agree, etc. - it will probably work
3) If it does, it tells us that iTunes (the program) is fine but it's encountering something unexpected
4) Go back to your user, and try to open iTunes while holding option and making a new library - like suggested in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1589
5) Your iTunes will be empty. This is ok. Your files are not touched by this process.
6) If iTunes doesn't quit when loading an empty library, you could try rebuilding the iTunes Library as Apple documents in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451
7) If iTunes does quit, it could be trying to grab something - like photo information to sync to your iPad - and that's where it finds the unexpected data. Maybe try moving the iPod Photo Cache? http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1324 should guide you for how to do that.
If you tell us whether it is library-specific, user-specific, or system-wide (happens in both users), we could maybe give you better advice on what's going on.'
If the new user has the same behavior, maybe remove the SC Info folder - there are not many system-wide files iTunes touches. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389 covers how to remove that invisible folder.
iTunes uses /Applications/iTunes.app, /Users/Shared/SC Info, ~/Music/iTunes/ and ~/Library/Preferences/ and a bunch of other files. I think the most effective way to help you is knowing whether the issue is system-wide or user-specific.
I hope this helps and feel free to reply if this is all confusing.

Trash asks for a password every time I try to delete a file, how can I change this?

This is a recent change in my machine and I can not figure out how to change it back.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Steve

That often happens because of a permission problem with the Trash. See > http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/trash.html#Anchor-Files-46919

Every time I try and download a microsoft office file, I get an error saying: Windows cannot find 'C:\Users\Tara\Appdata\Local\Temp\*FILENAME*. This happens will all Office files. Suggestions for fixing this?

I choose download when asked what to do with the file.

Try removing the archive file from Outlook, rename it and then readd, then restart Outlook and see if the error goes away.
