  • How can I stop Finder windows from moving when I drag files into them?

    I have searched but can't seem to find an answer.
    Thank you.

    HI Dave,
    Go to ~/Library/Preferences and move the com.apple.finder.plist file to the Trash.

    Restart your Mac.
    Hopefully that will help.

  • Firefox opens with a window that says "Checking for compatibility for Add-ons" then it always opens 2 tabs... one with my home page and one that says Congratulations, Firefox is up to date. How can I stop it from starting that way?

    Hi konee,
    You should look at [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+has+just+updated+tab+shows+each+time+you+start+Firefox this article about that specific issue] and the article [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved Preferences not saved]. These should give you all the information you need!
    If that doesn't work:
    # Type about:config in the address bar
    # Click ''I'll be careful, I promise'' if prompted
    # In the Filter input field type ''startup''
    # Double click on startup.homepage_override_url
    # Delete the text string and click ''OK''
    # Close Firefox and reopen the window to verify that it has worked.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • Every time I restart my mac air some applications like calendar and Microsoft word automatically starts, how can I stop such applications from starting when ever I restart my mac

    Every time I restart my mac air some applications like calendar and Microsoft word automatically starts, how can I stop such applications from starting when ever I restart my mac?

    One thing to check:  when shutting down or restarting, there is a checkbox in the shutdown/restart dialog which asks whether you want currently open applications to open at startup.

  • How do I open a new FireFox browser window to the home page and url filled?

    win 7 64-bit, firefox 5 open new window no url. When I have firefox open and open a new browser window, the new window does not open on the home page and no url is present in the address field. If I click on the favicon in the address field, the url of the current page will automatically fill in. The forward and backward arrow buttons remain disabled. In addition, links opened in a new window cause a new browser window to open, but the linked to website is not displayed in the new windows. What is displayed is a new window completely blank with no url in the address bar. I tried to include troubleshooting information by clicking on the copy to clipboard, but apparently the character count was exceeded.

    I disabled all plug-ins and extensions. the problem has been resolved. Now I will enable each one individually to find out which one was the offender.

  • I was on an online course website, logged in and working on an assignment. Suddenly the page disappeared and was not on the tabs either. I went to the home page and tried to log back in and it said I was already logged in on another browser window

    Question
    I was on an online course website, logged in and working on an assignment. Suddenly the page disappeared and was not on the tabs either. I went to the home page and tried to log back in and it said I was already logged in on another browser window and if I proceeded to log in again the assignment I was working on would be ended and I would receive a zero. I can't locate the browser window that I was signed in on. Help...I don't want to get a zero, but don't know how to get back into the website under my original log in & get back to my half completed assignment.

    Hi,
    Please try this: In Firefox '''History''' ('''Alt''' + '''S''') and check if it is listed in either '''Recently Closed Tabs''' or '''Recently Closed Windows''' or in the list below. If you cannot find it click '''Show All History''', on the left of the window click '''Today''' below '''History''' and on the right look for the site entry corresponding closely to the time when you lost it. If you cannot see the column heading named '''Visit Date''', you may have to enable it by right-clicking on the column header strip.
    Also please note that the online course site may have redirected you to another site for the test, so it is also a good idea to look into site entries that may match the time.

    I have website that on the Home page and the home only. When opened in Chrome or Safari the last 3 menu buttons do not work. But work fine in Explorer and Firefox.Its weird. The site is baystatewiring.com see if you have the same problem. Does anyone have a idea?

    Code errors could explain the problem.  You're missing a closing </div> tag for container.

  • I just got the new itunes and I can open itunes and see my music but whenI try and go to the itunes store it just loads to a white page. I try and refresh and go to the home page and nothing happens. I can sign into my account and the tabs for the itunes

    I just got the new itunes and I can open itunes and see my music but whenI try and go to the itunes store it just loads to a white page. I try and refresh and go to the home page and nothing happens. I can sign into my account and the tabs for the itunes store pop up like they normally would when browsing the itunes store but when I click on one of them, it is a blank page. Is there a setting I need to change? Does it just take an extremely long time to load? Please help!!

    Bucktr09:
    I'm having the exact same problem.  I upgraded to the newest version of iTunes on my iMac and ever since I did the store is a blank white screen.  I can get my library content but the store is a no go.  Is there any one out there with a solution?

  • I want to allow user to open a page only from the home page and not directl

    Dear friends,
    Can you help me in this.
    My home page is using frames. In one of the frame i am calling one html page which is calling one applet. Is it possible to hide the source code of the bottom frame .
    As the user types in the absolute path of the request on the address bar , he any how manages to see my source code of the html (view source) thereby the applet tag .
    Can't figure it out, how to hide the source code of the bottom frame .
    I read that its possible with redirecting it to some other page , but how will i know that user is not calling from the home page
    Any body , who can help in this regards.
    Bye
    Thank's

    You can set up a javascript to prevent someone viewing the page source, but anyone web-savvy will be able to switch off javascript and see it anyways.
    You could also add a request value to the second page so that you have "<a href="page.jsp?parameter=00a">" and if the parameter is not set the page will not show. That is a bit of a hack but would probably work.
    Basically, don't put anything too security dependent on the client site, because once it is run on someone's computer they have access to it.

  • TS1398 I seem to be experiencing some technical difficulty when trying to load up my Facebook home page and also other people's FB home pages. My iPad initially starts to load the page, but then abruptly closes Safari. Any ideas on why/how to fix?

    My Safari abruptly closes when trying to load my Facebook home page or the home page of others. It seems like there is too much info trying to load so it just shuts down. Any ideas on how to fix?

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • How do you stop random screenshots from appearing when you open an app

    These screenshots really bug me, especially when it comes to safari.  I use safari daily and sometimes I stumble upon rather frightning images.  Because.the screenshot that appears when you open an app is always a random snapshot of when you used the app in the past (I sometimes see screenshots that are over a year old), my biggest fear is that a scary picture I looked at in the past may appear when I open safari in the future.  Jumpscare.
    aside from that, this could also be a security violation, as a picture of your login information foryour bank may aappear at any time.  This is especially dangerous if your iPhone is in the hands of another person.

    When you open an app or when you close an app using the App Switcher (double-tap the Home button)?
    If you are talking about the App Switcher, there's no way to disable the displayed screenshot. If you don't want to see the "scary image", browse to another website. I have Google set as one of my favorites...when I shut down Safari, I just hit the Google favorite so the next time I open Safari, it opens to Google. I've never heard of nor experienced random screenshots popping up when opening Safari.

  • How can I stop Firefox 34 from crashing when I click a button on the NOrton 360 toolbar??

    I have the latest Norton 360 and fully updated. Also have FF 34.05. After anywhere between an hour and 3 hours, clicking any of the Norton Toolbars buttons that open options and provide multiple log in options FF crashes and when I reopen it it brings up my old tabs and at the end it brings up the FF welcome screen. In the options, it changes my opening page to the Norton Welcome page and the option to open previous tabs which was there with open default site which now it the welcome screen. Need help as have tried several fixes from the net and none so far work. Have allowed FF to reinstall the pref file, have removed hardware acceleration as well as put flash into a non protected mode and none help.
    Don't know if it is a FF or Norton issue but, it is a real issue. Please help.

    Thanks for your quick turn around. I'd be surprised if corrupt files as I only got the machine last Thursday but, it was a refurb so perhaps issues from the previous owner.
    Do have some questions as follows:
    It is a Windows 8.1 64 machine so will the fix recommended work??
    looking at the page, appears option 2 is my best bet but, won't start until I get the go for Win 8.2. Assuming this is a good fix and since I would be doing it with the system and not a program, no malware??
    As far as drivers, do have a app from HP that updates drivers and I updated everything after I got it going so should have the latest drivers and I did try alone unclicking the machine acceleration and no change there but, with the scan, might help. I have run all of the Windows updates which were quite a few with a new computer and do have Windows set to perform automatic updates so don't think I need to worry about graphic drivers??
    Your thoughts on my questions before running the scan at the elevated admin level. By the way, I am the admin so do I simply run as admin or is there a higher thing I need to do to run at High Administrator???
    Also, if after I run the scan and repair, if OK on Win 8.1 should I send your results to Norton for them to look at since almost all of the problems are with Norton and perhaps they have a fix with those issues and having running the driver fix should help them?? Also will the scan and repair indicate what was fixed and what wasn't.
    Sorry so many questions but, don't want to mess up my new machine.
    Thanks so much,
    Dave

  • How can I stop a JFrame from closing when clicking the close button.

    I need to display a dialog when a user attempts to close my app, giving them the option to close, minimize or cancel. How can I stop the form from closing after the user makes his selection? I have the folllowing code, but my form still closes after selecting an option:
    private void formWindowClosing(java.awt.event.WindowEvent evt) {                                  
            //An array of Strings to be used a buttons in a JOptionDialog
            String[] options = {"Close", "Minimize", "Cancel"};
            //Determines what the user wants to do
            int result = JOptionPane.showOptionDialog(null, "What to you want to do?  Close the application, minimize or cancel?", "Please select an option...", 0, JOptionPane.QUESTION_MESSAGE, null, options, options[0]);
           //Determines what to do, depending on the user's choice
            if (result == 0) {
                //Close the application
                System.exit(0);
            } else if (result == 1) {
                //Minimize the application
                this.setState(Frame.ICONIFIED);
        }Any help would be much appreciated!

    import java.awt.event.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    public class test extends JFrame {
         public static void main( String[] args ) {
              new test();
         public test() {
              setSize( 200, 200 );
              //the next line makes the JFrame not close
              setDefaultCloseOperation( JFrame.DO_NOTHING_ON_CLOSE );
              //now add a listener that does the trick
              addWindowListener( new WindowAdapter() {
                        public void windowClosing( WindowEvent e ) {
                             //ask the user and do whatever you wish
              setVisible( true );
    }
