How do I stop all the browser/HTML/menu text from appearing as numbered squares?

A couple weeks ago ALL text in my firefox browser started appearing as numbered squares. It's all HTML on the page, javascript popups, text fields, menus... everything. This did not happen after I did an update or anthing, it just happened partway through the day when I opened the browser window. I tried doing an update when I was prompted, which didn't help, and I tried completely uninstalling and reinstalling the latest version.

Try to toggle some Boolean gfx.font_rendering prefs on the about:config page to disable some features. 
Filter: gfx
Some to try:
* set gfx.direct2d.disabled to true to disable Direct2D
* set gfx.font_rendering.directwrite.use_gdi_table_loading to false
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold (user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default via the right-click context menu if they are user set
*Preferences can be changed via the right-click context menu: Modify (String or Integer) or Toggle (Boolean)
Try to disable hardware acceleration.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"

Activate cycle mode, adjust cycle area as needed and export tracks as audio files, no?
http://help.apple.com/logicpro/mac/10/#lgcp8e5ce2d3
Or cut globally at position 2min and 3min, then mute manually regions before and after the 2 - 3 minute range, bounce and get rid of the not needed silence in the audio.
Cheers!

how do i stop all the popups every bloody time i click my trackpad a bloody mackeeper or similar pops up

In addition to reply from Niel, some generalities
There are at least two schools of thought expressed by experienced users here in this Apple community regarding malware and popups.
One school primarily uses free application(s); the second school requires no additional software and just some simple steps on your part.
Read these (of many threads) discussions.

A few years ago I bought music from Itunes. Recently I deactivated all computers in order to add a new computer. Most of the music I purchased came through, but I am still missing about 30% of it. How can I download all the music I have purchased from

A few years ago I bought music from Itunes. Recently I deactivated all computers in order to add a new computer. Most of the music I purchased came through, but I am still missing about 30% of it. How can I download all the music I have purchased from Itunes?

Might have luck with that here > Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer on the iTunes Store.
Make sure and use the same Apple ID that was used for the original purchases.

A lot of tabs loads and tells me there was a problem loading the page. How can I stop all the tabs loading because ist slows down Firefox.

When I open Firefox, a lot of tabs try to open at the same time. They all say Problem loading the page. It happened after I tried to download a owners manual for Harley Davidson motor cycles. How can I stop all but one tab from opening.

This can be a problem with the file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
Delete [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.

How do I stop all the tab and pop-up adds?

Every time I click on something on the main tab, another one open with some type of add. Also, I want to stop all the pop-up adds. If this can't be done I will be uninstalling Firefox.

You also can check for an add-on causing this problem.
Disable ALL nonessential or unrecognized add-ons on these two tabs. Unless you know you can't live without it for 24 hours, disable it.
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Plugins category 
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category
If you see a link above an extension to restart Firefox, you can wait until you are done with your changes and then click that as the last step.

How can i access all the objects of one schema from another schema

Dear All,
How can i access all the objects(Tables,Views,Triggers,Procedures,Functions,Packages etc..) and do the modifications of one schema from another schema (Without using synonyms concept).
Thanks in advance,
Mahi

First of all, synonyms only help you easy reference the object. It doesn't have any implication of object privilege.
As long as you have proper privilege on target object. You can access it with or without synonyms.
Assuming you have proper privilege of objects, you can use following command to assume schema owner.
ALTER SESSION SET CURRENT_SCHEMA = Schema_owner

I just purchased an iPad 2. I currently have an iPhone 4 (not 4s). I was told that I could get all the apps, music and photos from my iphone onto my ipad. I tried backing up my phone and restoring my ipad from my phone. Didn't work. It setup successfully but nothing transfered over. iCloud only gave me my contacts and calendar. HELP!

Hi covertwo,
Thank you for your question, I understand that you have an issue with pop ups. If it is for your pc please run a malware scan. Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

When i open a pdf from any website to read , firefox automatically downloads to the hadr disk, safari does not do this. how can i stop all the clutter resulting from these downloads

as above ,

The text editor is the text area that you use on the webmail (Yahoo, Hotmail) website to create a new mail.
You can compare that with the ''Post new message'' text area that you use to create a new post on this forum.
Just above the text area that you use to enter the message text there is usually a button bar with buttons that allows some text formatting like Bold and Italic and can also include a button to make a clickable hyperlink.
Check the tooltip of each button by hovering with the mouse over each button.

How do I update all the records in a table from the contents of another table?

Ok some situation information, I have a pervasive database that runs our accounting software that I am pulling a product list from. I have that list stored in a table in SQL. From time to time we update the records in the pervasive database and
I want to be able to pull those changes into the SQL table. I don't want to drop the table and recreate it because if a product is no longer active in the pervasive database it will not be returned by the query (if I return all the products even the
inactive ones I will get thousands of records rather than just a few hundred) and I do not want to loose the products from the table that are now inactive.
So what I want to be able to do is pull the list from pervasive, compare it to the list that exists in SQL and update any changed records, add any new records, and leave any now missing records alone(missing from the pervasive list but present in the SQL
list). I have no trouble pulling the records from pervasive (now) but I am a little stumped on how to do the rest. I am not sure if this is a situation to use MERGE or not. I also do not really need this to be done on a regular basis as the
changes do not happen often enough for that, the ability to manually trigger it would be enough.
Any help would be appreciated.
David

Hi David,
lets say you want to go with the lookup transformation.
lets say u want to move the data from server A table A1 to Server B table B1
What you need to do is the following:
Cofigure the Lookup options as follows:
- In general -> Specify how to handle rows with no macthing entries -> "Redirect Rows to no Match Output"
- In Connection -> Set the ole db connection to the Server B and select the table B you want to lookup the values in your case the table where you want to input the changes
- In columns -> link the product column from table A to product column in table B. And do not select any rows to output.
- now your component is ready next you need to input. so when u connect your lookup to the destination component You will get an option to select which output you want to use - use "Lookup No Match Output".
this will actually just allow you to add only new items only to the table B.

How do you remove all the gray exclamation icon songs from the Library?

I've been burning all my CD's to an external hard drive. At some point the location of my iTunes Library switched from the external drive to the local drive. (Any idea why that would happen?) So about half the CD's were imported the the local drive.
So I copied all the music folders from the local drive to the external drive and then deleted the extra copies from the local drive. Now the problem is that those songs are showing up twice in the library! Each song has one listing that's a working version and a second listing with a grey exclamation icon next to, saying it can't locate the song.
How can I delete every song in the library that has the gray exclamation icon?

How do you transfer all the music and vedio files from iPod touch to iTune?

Hello, I am new here, and I have a very big problem.
About a month ago, my stupid computer have died on me; so I have to take it to the Geek Square to let them look at my computer, it turned out, I have to replace a new hard drive. Now, my computer is back and I download the new iTune; however, I don't know how to transfer all the files on my iPod Touch to iTune, can someone help me?

I do have some music back up, but I only have one video(because I couldn't get the others), and I also have some music that I bought directly from the ipod touch's iTune, not on the computer, so that is why I am asking the question.
