How to stop Frefox from being default browser? The links under tools do not match the answers in other discussions.

I cannot get Firefox to stop being my default browser. I have read other answers online, but the links under the tools do not match, what the other say to click. I tried to go into internet explorer to change it, but the set default button is grayed out and does not work. Help. I cannot update my programs in Firefox.

Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > General: System Defaults: "Always check to see if Firefox is the default browser on startup"
*Press F10 or tap the Alt key to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily if the Menu Bar is hidden.
*Use "Firefox > Options" instead of "Tools > Options" if the menu bar is hidden.

How to stop iPad from transferring apps to Mac?

First off, let me state that I have iCloud backups of the most important app data and I don't care that I don't have backups for the rest. I don't care that those apps might one day be gone from the App Store. I don't care about saving my game data.
What I do care about is that I shouldn't be forced to have a backup of ALL the apps on my iPad/iPhone on my MBP, which didn't come with unlimited storage space.
I think at one point I was asked by iTunes if I wanted to transfer the purchases to my Mac (or if I wanted to backup the apps? I don't remember) and I foolishly clicked yes. Now, even though I have clicked on "Rest Warnings" multiple times, iTunes still insists on copying all the apps to my Mac without asking me if I wanna do it.
I saw some suggestions about creating empty folders and stuff but I don't wanna do that. It just doesn't make sense that Apple doesn't give us an option to NOT backup our apps to our Macs. I thought the point of having an App Store where you can download your purchases anytime you want is so that you don't have to keep everything on your Mac.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

I hope you get a solution soon. I've been having this problem too. I under any circumstances don't want my apps on my computer either, I remember when I bought my first iPad iTunes used to have an option to choose whether or not to sync/transfer apps but now its gone and it drives me crazy everytime I want to transfer music. I remember this option was Under the tab "Apps" in the device and under the Apps list. It was a check box like the ones that the Music and other library syncing currently have. But i havent seen it in a while. Apple really screwed this up.

How to stop files from being locked in Mountain Lion?

In the last week, I have found several of the files that I have generated or downloaded have become locked. Since Apple has eliminated the Auto locking feature that use to be in Time Machine. The files include PDFs, PHGs, TXTs, etc. How do I stop files from being locked? How do I unlock the ones that are locked? I can not emtpy my Trash.

When I went to "Get Info" on one of the locked files [a TXT file] per your steps, I noticed that the there was a Locked box checked. I unchecked that box and was then able to remove the files from Trash without any further action.
Do you know why it got locked in the first place since Mountain Lion does not automatically lock files as the older OS X version did? Do you know how to prevent it from happening again?
I want to thank you for your suggestion.

Stop Illustrator from being default player for Flash .swf files

Please help. I am on Mac OS X. I have the Adobe CS suite. I
have downloaded, uninstalled, and reinstalled the flash player.
However, whenever I download a flash file to play, it automatically
opens in Illustrator. But Illustrator doesn't recognize it as a
file so it doesn't open. I went through preferences and I can't
find anything that will get it to stop doing that. I don't know how
to get to the preferences for the flash player to change that. And
there isn't a way have it open up in flash player because the flash
player is not an actual application that comes up in the
applications list. There is a certain website that it is mainly
.swf flash files that I have not been able to access because of
this problem. What do I do?

Have you received information on how to change this
situation? My SWF files always open Illustrator, also.

How to spot Mail from being default email application

Hi
Call me crazy but I like to use Netscape as my email application. I need to stop mail to launch as the default email application.
How can I do this?
Thanks

Yes, of course(I'm sorry, my last post wasn't so complete as it should be), exactly the same as it was with me... I've solved it at "the long way" (there must be a shorter way, something like an "abort"-way, but I don't know that way...). I've opened an extra account at yahoo (.ca or .com), which is easily to set in Mail (see in your yahoo mail > options). Than I have imported that mail-account into my Mail, so that I can use all the options (also mail>preferences). Than I have set my standard mail-application in the tab "general" into entourage. than it is just load your mail into netscape mail.
Greets,

How to prevent libraries from being default save location

Scenario:
Users start IE10 as a published Xenapp Application. From there, they should be able to save pages, etc, but only to a network drive. They have no access to the local computer.
I've succeeded in removing network, Libraries and favorites from the download-dialog. I've also managed to point it to default save path to a network drive. However, the path field in the save-dialog still shows Libraries\Documents. Thus, they can click
on Libraries, and browse, and access it that way. Which they will (trust me), just because they can.
So, why does it insist on referring to Libraries when I've removed all references to them? Anyone have a fix for this?

Hi,
Have you ever redirected the Documents library to the network drive， or share this library to the network drive? If you have, then remove the document library, test this issue again.

ZXPADU02 - How To Stop It From Being Triggered in a BDC Session

I have an edit in ZXPADU02 that says if you are trying to change IT0167 you will get a POPUP Message telling you we don't want you doing that. My problem is that I am using PA30 in a BDC session in another program to update IT167 and it is causing the User Exit to trigger the message, which gets an error because it can't display the POPUP. Is there some way I can have this message NOT be triggered when I use PA30 in a BDC?

Hi,
You can one thing. When you are calling PA30 through BDC then you can populate some custom table with some value and in the exit check whether the custom table contains that value. If it contains then you can skip it. Other wise you can put keep some field vale in memory and then read the value from memory in the user exit. Based on that you can modify your code.
Thanks & Regards,

How to stop Adobe from asking me to register Photoshop CC when it's already registered?

I "upgraded" to Photoshop CC in December and registered the product. Now frequently, but not every time, I start the program I get an annoying popup asking me to complete my registration. Can this be fixed?

Have the same problem. I am wondering if it has anything to do with external USB drives? It seems to happen everytime I have connected and disconnected an external drive.

How to stop Adobe Flash plugin from repeatedly crashing Firefox?

How to stop Adobe Flash plugin from repeatedly crashing Firefox?

yeah, having the same problem.
Hulu is working on my internet explorer 8, tho... Interesting thing is that it detected I didn't have the 10.1 version of adobe flash player even though I just downloaded that on firefox. So MAYBE the problem is between firefox and adobe. Just a guess

How can I STOP Firefox from being a glutton with my virtual memory?

How can I STOP Firefox from being a glutton with my virtual memory?

Yes. But, I see from the THOUSANDS of responses here concerning Firefox memory issues that other people have had no more success than I have at trying to STOP Firefox's memory gluttony. The fact that Firefox runs fine (like the good old days) for a while after re-booting and registry cleaning shows that something is going on beyond the trivial/ineffective suggestions offered in the referenced links.
Having to re-boot several times a day to get Firefox out of the molasses is such a pain, that it's no wonder people are going back to IE, or like me, reluctantly relying more and more on Google Chrome.

How to stop Firefox from checking for add-on compatibility every time it opens?

How to stop Firefox from checking for add-on compatibility every time it opens?

That can be a problem with the compatibility.ini file in the Firefox profile folder.
Try to rename (or delete) the compatibility.ini file in the Firefox profile folder to see if that helps.
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)

You can also check for problems with preferences.
Delete possible user.js and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.

By default the photos will be sorted by the date modified.

How to stop mail from recovering the same message over and over again to the extent that it has wiped out all start up disk memory?

How to stop mail from recovering the same message over and over again to the extent that it has wiped out all start up disk memory?

You need to find and delete (move to the Trash) the offline mail cache (.offline cache.) It's a hidden folder (files and folders with a preceding dot are hidden) inside the Mail folder (inside IMAP) in your user library. Since it's hidden, in order to see it run the following command in Terminal in Applications>Utilities. Hit return/enter once you have pasted in the command.
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool true ; killall Finder
To reverse this and hide all those hidden files and folders again
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool false ; killall Finder
Leave hidden files/folders enabled until you finish emptying the Trash so you know it's gone.
