  • I'm trying to "open"-get to a site--Ichoose Firefox as application; the next screen is another appication and asks for a file name. What do I do? I never get any further.

    I'm trying to get to "www.enoriver.org." A window appears asking me to choose an application--I choose Firefox. Then another window opens titled "Another Application" and asks for a file name at the botto0m of page. I choose Firefox from the list of files, paste it into the bar, hit "enter"--nothing happens. What do I do?

  • There's a delay when I hit the record button

    I currently have the MBox2 Factory & I download the drivers for the MBox & I just recently purchased Logic Express. When I hit the record button, I get the pinwheel for roughly 60 seconds before it will start recording anything. Does anyone know why this is happening?? Any feedback would be awesome!! Thanks
    I will be purchasing a Motu 8 pre in the near future & I hope the same thing doesn't happen.

    Open up Disk Utility in your Utilities folder, select the WD drive and it will tell how how it's formatted - at the bottom of that window.
    If it's FAT32 or NTFS, quite Disk Utility, *copy all your files on that disk* to your internal drive (or burn a DVD), reformat it to Mac OS Extended Journaling OFF (these options are available when you choose to reformat) and then restore the contents to your external.
    Make sure (at least 3 times) you have copies before you do any reformatting!

  • My ipod backlight turns on briefly when i hit the option button, but goes dim immediately?

    My ipod backlight turns on briefly when i hit the option button, but goes dim immediately, even when i touch the screen? Apps seem to work fine but no backlight. Tried updating the Ipod, Tried Resetting the Ipod, Tried turing it off then on, Tried recharging... still no repair?

    I restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod does not solve the problem you likely have a hardware problem.  An appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
    What s the option button you are talking about.  No such button is described in the Ipod Users Guide.

  • Help! My email push isn't working even when I hit the refresh button!

    Please help me. I got a Palm Pixi in December. It worked perfectly until about 2 weeks ago. It suddenly stopped pushing my email, including when I hit the refresh button! I spent many many hours on the phone with both verizon and palm, we tried starting and restarting the phone, removing and adding my accounts, we even tried a partial wipe of the phone. Nothing worked. So both verizon and palm assured me that my brand new phone must be defective, they sent me a new palm pixi promising me that my email push problems were a fluke and that it would never happen again. I got my new phone a week ago, it worked fine until yesterday- the same push problem is back! I've been on live chat with a palm technician for almost 2 hours now, we've set and reset my email settings, we've reset the account settings in the phone, and it still doesn't work!
    Please somebody, tell me what the fix is for this!
    I need this phone for my job.
    Because this problem didn't start until the end of my 30 day trial period, I can't exchange this phone now, and I can't afford to pay retail price for a new phone so I'm stuck with this phone even though this problem is not my fault!! I have to make this work!
    Verizon and Palm promised me that this problem would never happen again, that it was a one time fluke based on a defective(though brand new device)- based on this assurance, I exchanged phone and now I am stuck. I spent hours on the phone on monday with palm support updating/changing my email settings on the phone and when that didn't work he sent me the webos doctor instructions via email to try on my own.  I did that last night, and guess what?  It still didn't work!  As per usual, the solution either doesn't work at all, or it works for a bout an hour and then stops working.
    Help!
    Thanks

    First verify that all your email settings are correct as they may have changed.  
    Service provider settings frequently change. If your email account was working but you are currently experiencing problems, check with your service provider to find out whether any of the account settings have changed. You may need to manually change some email settings on your device.
    Next, update the PRL on the device by dialing *228 send and option 2.  
    If the  problems persist,  try doing a Master Reset on the device.  
    Master Reset
    Tap and slide finger up on center gesture area
    Slide screen to the left twice
    Tap Device Info
    Tap and slide screen up to show Reset Options
    Tap Reset Options
    Select from the following Options: 
    Restart - Will restart device
    Shut down - Will power off device

    I have a 4th gen. Itouch wiht IOS4 and i want to update it, but when i click the update button in ITunes it says "contacting IPod software server" and it looks like it is loading. However, after about 5 seconds it stops and says "ITunes could not connect to the IPod software server". I found the apple webpage that is supposed to help me, but when i went to the LAN settings in the control panel i found that 'Automatically detect settings" was already checked. I do not know what to do, Please help.

    If yo mean the iPod will not connect to your wifi network:
    Does the iPod connect to other networks?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Try:                  
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:

  • My iPad 2 will not allow me to update my apps. When I hit the update button I get a spinning circle but then it times out and doesn't update. Please help.

    My iPad 2 will not allow me to update my apps. When I hit the update button I get a spinning circle but then it times out and doesn't update. In the past when I have updated successfully, the spinning circle would show me an indicator of time left on the update. I no longer have this Indicator. The circle just spins and times out and nothing happens. I've reset the iPad in the settings menu, reset the router, logged in and out of Apple id, powered ithe iPad off and on, and tried a couple other "fixes" that I've read online. So far no luck. AAny help would be greatly appreciated. Much thanks!

  • Can;t see the red line border around the text when I hit the Play button

    On the last page I have a burgundy red lined border. However, when I hit the Play button, that red border does not show. I clicked onto it and then clicked onto: Send to front --- but when I did that, all of the text disappeared, presumable “sent to the back” since the line border was sent to the front so it could be seen.
    I would like to see both text AND red border. What am I doing wrong and how can I fix it?
    ~ Lorna in Southern California

    Lorna,
    With your text box selected open the inspector and go to the shape tab. There select border then you can choose the type of border that you want the thickeness, color and even a shadow if you want. You should be able then to delete the other border that seems to be hiding your text.
    Hope this helps
