How do I keep my downloads from opening 100's of tabs in my browser?

I tried downloading a free trial of After Effects for the second time; I then tried selecting where I wanted to send it to on my computer, then I clicked the box at the bottom. Next thing I know, it's opening a hundred tabs in my browser a second and the only way to stop it is by closing all tabs. It's the same thing when I tried downloading the free trial for Final Cut. Does anyone know of how I can stop this, so I may be able to download apps successfully?

opening endless tabs would only cost you money if your isp charges you for the amount of data you download and each of those tabs is loading something. adobe will charge you nothing.
and no, the downloading stops and the tab opening stops once you close your browser. you should be able to verify by opening your browser again (which i'm pretty sure you did in order to post here) and seeing no more problem with your tabs.
also, that's not an adobe issue. you have a browser issue.
if you google, <your browser name> opens endless tabs, you should be able to find a solution to the problem, though the above link will probably circumvent the problem if you want a quick work-around.

How can I keep pictures images from opening up in the body of an email

Every time I attach a pic in mac mail, it opens in the body of the email. I never had this issue with Outlook.
I typically attach several pics at a time, the email becomes very messy. Any suggestions on how to keep it from opening.
I am using jpeg images.

It depends.
When you copy an image from a website in Firefox (right-click > Copy Image), Firefox stores the HTML code that website is using to display the image. Then when you paste into Yahoo mail, Yahoo uses that code to display the image in your message, by linking out to the source site.
However, if you copy the image from a source other than a web page, Yahoo mail (webmail interface) can't use this technique and although it sometimes seems to show the image in the post, when I send, I just get a strange "inline image" notation in its place.
If you access your Yahoo mail on a device in a dedicated mail client, then you usually would have more options because the mail program will encode the image into the message.

How do I keep apps downloaded from my iPad from syncing automatically to my iPhone?

I just got a new iPad, and the apps I downloaded on it automatically synced to my iPhone. I'd like to keep them separate. Some apps I want to keep on my iPad, but I don't want them to transfer to my iPhone. I'm assuming they're syncing via iCloud, since I haven't synced my iPad through iTunes yet.
Thanks!

When i open a new tab in Firefox, the yahoo website will open automatically in this tab. How can i prevent any website from opening in my new tabs? I just want to open an empty tab.

You click on new tab, a new tab opens, but the tab is opened as the yahoo homepage.
I accidentally downloaded the yahoo toolbar as malware the other day. This toolbar is really imposible to remove. It's not in the sofware add/remove menu, i've tried with several anti-malware sofware, they didn't succeed.
Now, i already made the toolbar invisible, but it still has a place in the firefox menu at the top of the browser, and like i said, it keeps opening itself in a new tab.

A new tab opens by default as a blank tab (about:blank).
If that isn't the case then an extension has changed that behavior.

How to keep Folder Windows From Opening When Turning On System

How can I keep iPhoto 09 from opening every time I boot my Intel iMac? I am using OSX 10.6.8

IF it is opening in import mode:
Do you have an external drive or device (iPhone, USB key) plugged into iPhoto? If so, there are some photo files on it that make iPhoto think it has photos to import. Remove the device, delete the photos or move the photos to another folder on the device.
If it is not openeing in import mode, it must be in your startup items. Drag it from there.

If you're talking about closing running apps, they changed it up a bit from iOS6. Now you just double click the home button to bring up the running apps, side scroll to the app you want to close, then just swipe up.

How do I keep my installer from trying to update with Photoshop instead of installer? Quark can't update because the installer opens Photoshop which doesn't recognize the file and I'm not given the option to choose anything else.

1. Sync wasn't intended to be used in that manner. You would be better off carrying around a USB Flash Stick with Portable Firefox for use on "strange" PC's.
2. You could open the "Library" {Ctrl + Shift + B} and highlight all those bookmarks and then delete them all at once. But that would also delete all the other bookmarks, and it isn't foolproof. All another person would need to do it to '''''restore''''' a bookmark backup file that has your bookmarks. Beyond that, a new Profile could be created and then the current Profile deleted; but that's "messing with" someone else's computer - an action that is worthy of terminating a friendship over, IMO.
And if that "public" computer was set up properly, Sync should have been disabled.

How do I keep the music from my old 1st gen mini and put it on my new ipod touch without loosing it. the computer I used to load the mini was stolen quite some time ago????

How do I keep my music from my old 1st gen ipod mini when the computer that I originally loaded it with was stolen more than 5 years ago and transfer all the music onto my new ipod touch? My fear has always been that plugging my mini into another computer and attempting to download more music onto it or take what's on there off will end up erasing all of it because of file sharing regs. I would really prefer not to have to repurchase several hundred dollars of music as many of the original cd's that I used to download have been either lost or damaged over the years. Is there anything I can do????

How do I set my downloads to open?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
If I understand your question correctly, you want to know how to 'open', view, or install something you've successfully downloaded from the internet and saved in the Downloads folder.
I am unable to determine which operating system you are using on your MacBook. Your profile lists iOS 5, but iOS5 is for an iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad, not MacBook.
Your MacBook likely has one of the OS X 'cats': 10.4 Tiger, 10.5 Leopard, 10.6 Snow Leopard, or 10.7 Lion. Click on the Apple icon in the top left menubar and select About This Mac to see which operating system you are using.
If you are using OS X 10.7 "Lion", you should post your question in the OS X 10.7 Lion forum here:
https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/mac_os_x_v10.7_lion
These instructions are for a Mac using OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" but the process is very similar with OS X 10.5 Leopard.
Here's one way:
Open Finder by clicking on the icon in the lower left corner of your Dock.
Under Places in the left column, click on the 'House' icon in the left column. It probably has your name after it.
That will open a list of file folders and files in the right column.
Click on the Downloads folder.
Clicking on the Name column heading in the right column will sort the file list by that column.
Clicking on the column heading a second time will sort the file list in reverse order.
Locate the file you want.
Single click on the filename and press the space bar to preview many types of files, including documents, spreadsheets, and images.
To open the file, double-click on the filename.
If the file has the extension .dmg, it is a disk image file (program to be installed) and will open the file installer dialog. You will likely need to enter your Administrator password to install the program.

Seasons Greetings. How do I keep firefox 4 from disallowing my most important sites?

Question
Seasons Greetings. How do I keep firefox 4 from disallowing my most important sites? All the garbage, it lets sail right in, but my bank accounts and library accounts are not allowed. Why is this? I have looked in the help section and tried the permissions manager, but when I type about:permissions in the location bar, I receive the following error, "The URL is not valid and cannot be located." Thanks for any useful information.

Thanks for responding. Sorry I wasn't very precise. When attempting to navigate to one of these sites, a message at the top of the screen appears, "Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page." Then there is a dialog box which says, "Allow." Once I 'allow' it, the page I'm trying to open does so. This only occurs with certain pages, and usually pages that I need open without any computer interference. I hope this clarifies things. Again, thanks for taking your time to respond.

How do I keep my screen from shutting off

I have a droid RAZR M and I downloaded a knitting pattern on to my phone and I am using my phone instead of a paper pattern. The only problem is that my screen shuts off so frequently, and then the text is so small that is unreadable. I have to stop knitting to readjust the text in the pattern to be easily read every time. How to I keep my phone from going into sleep mode so often?

Hello goldeeneyes!
I'd love to tell you how to adjust your screen settings. Keep in mind that a longer screen timeout may drain your battery significantly, so you may wish to change it back when you are not using your knitting application.
Please go to Settings>Display and change the Sleep to a longer period of time. Happy creating!
Thank you,
