How to stop tabs re-opening after firefox crashes.........when it crashes and I have multiple tabs open, when re-starting firefox all of the tabs re-open too. How can I stop this?
Firefox crashes quite often, especially when I have multi tabs open. I usually have to use CTRL ALT DEL and end the process as Firefox stops responding.
My problem is not the crashing........it is the re-opening of the multiple tabs I had open, when normally it is one of them (not the home page) that caused the crash in the first place, so I cannot re-open firefox until I restart the pc, because every time I do it is the same story. Firefox tries to re-open all of the tabs and stops responding. I have looked in options but nowhere does it allow me to stop multiple tabs opening after a crash. If this continues, I will have to uninstall Firefox and stick to Chrome.
Set the pref browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes to 0 on the about:config page to get the about:sessionrestore page immediately with the first restart after a crash has occurred or the Task Manager was used to close Firefox.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes
That will allow you to deselect the tab(s) that you do not want to reopen, but will allow to reopen other tabs.
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Session_Restore#Restoring_a_session_after_a_crash
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes
To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
*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 or changed via the right-click context menu.

I have been trying for an hour to delete all of the photos from my iPhone 5. I have googled it several times and there doesn't seem to be a solution. Have tried deleting them from my PC. One at a time deleting is impractical - I have 1000 photos! Why isn't this easy and intuitive?
When you hooked up to your PC did they attempt to import? Had you imported them previously and not deleted when the import was complete?
If you have to delete them directly on your device, you need to press the select button and just keep selecting until you have all of them selected, then put them in the trash.
You do not need to select one then trash it, then select another then trash it. You can select as many as you like before clicking on the trash icon.

I own a pawn shop and I have a number of apple products but some are firm ware locked and iCloud locked. These item are now my property. And I need help in order to prepared them for resale?
Read this first
it will explain Activation lock
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818
The only way to unlock them is to have the original owner to release them ,as explained in the above document
The iPhones may have been stolen or the donors intended you to be left with a brick
There is no solution .Apple will NOT unlock them ,it is an anti theft device and since it was introduced with iOS 7 from the posts here it will be very successful at making stolen iPhones useless -
I am considering buying a 128 gb MacBook air and I will need to make a windows partition. I would like to be able to use all of my ssd do I was wondering if I could put my windows partition on a small USB flash drive to use when I want to. Do you know if any programs or techniques capable of this?
Csound1 What Ive been trying to explain is that I have been running bootcamp, I open the app where the first screen is the introduction, i hit continue, the first time I select "download the latest windows support software fromm Apple" then I return and instead select "Install Windows 7." Then hit continue. The third screen is where I "Create a Partition for Windows" I set Windows to 80 gigs then hit INSTALL. As stated before Bootcamp cannot find the install drivers saying "The installer disc could not be found." My windows software is on a USB drive not a disc, I tried using a virtual disc reader to make it appear that the windows software was running on a disc, still no luck. What I would like to know is how to install windows on bootcamp.

My computer crashed, and I lost all of the tabs I had open in Firefox. When I re-started Firefox, it didn't ask me about starting a new session or restoring the old one. How can I get back the tabs I had open?
I would try calling the support line and pleading your case, as your movies have gone the same place everything else on your computer did when it 'crashed' - the bit bucket. That's why iTunes has repeated warnings and reminders about backing up your purchases, it's why there is backup software built in to MacOS, and it's why everyone says to back up your computer. The stuff on there is both valuable and fragile, and it only takes a $70 external drive and a few minutes every once in a while to make sure it's all safe.
For the record, it's not "because of Apple" that you can't re-download your movies, it's the studios and their contracts that prevent that. -
When I plug my ipod in I am able to add song to it but the tab that says "on this ipod" no longer shows up so I cannot remove things from my ipod or anything like that. How do I change this weird setting? On other computers this shows up fine so it is clearly a problem with itunes and not my ipod.

I am trying to authorise a new computer. Apple's instructions are to select "Authorise this computer" from the itunes store menu. I can't find this in any menu. Can you please help? How do I authorise my computer?
Authorization and Deauthorization
Macs: iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
Windows: How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld.
In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.
More On De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
1. Open iTunes on a computer
2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
You may only do this once per year.
After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us. -
Just tried 3 times to update iTunes on my PC running Vista. There was an error. It stopped the installation. Now iTunes will not start at all. The error message tells me to reinstall which I tried but did not work. What should I do?
Hello, Jdragone.
Thanks for the question. Start with completely uninstalling iTunes and all of it's components in the order specified in the article below. Once this is done, download and install iTunes.

Hello, we are interested in more information on the Image Size > Fit To option in phototshop. For example, if we open a 46x25 inch 120 dpi image and choose Fit to 4x6" does all of the resolution remain? Any links to tutorials in this area are appreciated.
Let's look at the first thing: Aspect Ratio 46W x 25H does not fit 6W x 4H exactly. You get 6W x 3.621H If we preserve Landscape Orientation and Aspect Ratio. If I set H to 4, W will be 7.36 inches, clipping your picture.
You'll have to decide on how to clip off that 1.36 inches so your picture can be 4 x 6 in order to solve that problem.
Notice I set Resample off. Throwing out pixels is destructive editing. So what I am doing is "Scaling", changing the Print Size without touch the pixels. Notice how high the resolution goes up.
To Resample or not will be your decision. I hope I answered your questions properly. Let me know otherwise.

Mail app quits when opened after installing Mavericks. I reinstalled and still the same. I noticed the mail app icon has not changed to the new icon in Mavericks. Any suggestions?
I also forgot to note that this problem also persists with the new iBooks application. I cannot get past the 'Get Started' screen or access the iBooks Store. Again, all top bar menus are unresponsive.

I've done some research on the SQLite database. Whenever Aperture hangs up (like during auto-stack or opening the filter hud) there are thousands of SQLite queries happening. These SQLite queries cause massive file I/O because the database is stored on the disk as 1kb pages. However, the OS is caching the database file; mine's only 12MB. I'm trying to track down some performance numbers for SQLite on osx but having trouble.
It's starting to look like most of the speed problems are in the libraries that Aperture uses instead of the actual Aperture code. Of course, that doesn't completely let the developers off the hook since they choose to use them in the first place.
Oh, and if anyone is curious, the database is completely open to queries using the command line sqlite3 tool. Here's the language reference http://www.sqlite.org/lang.html
Hmm, just found this. Looks like someone else has been playing around in the db http://www.majid.info/mylos/stories/2005/12/01/apertureInternals.html

Everything that you have checked in your icloud settings will be shared between devices using the same Apple ID. If you don't want icloud to share that information, then simply turn off that process under settings > icloud

In the past, if I didn't have all of the tabs opened, or just opened a new window, the page would still be in a tab if I opened up new tabs. Now, if I hit the "+", I get a tab. I can't get back to the original page without closing all of the tabs.
Example: I open ebay.com in a window. I hit "+" and go to cnn.com. I want to go back to what I was viewing on ebay, and I can't see it, unless I close the cnn window.Troubleshooting extensions and themes
