Question when I log into Firefox, the screen scrolls down and I have to use the side-bar to go back up to type my query into the 'search' window. How can I stop that and get Firefox to start with the 'search' window accessible? With thanks, Peter

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

When Firefox 5.0 starts, it automatically adds a new blank tab. How can I stop that?

When I launch Firefax 5.0, a second blank tab automatically launches. How can I stop that from happening, as it reduces visible display area and I then have to close the tab?

Error message (-51) keeps coming up when I try to send music from iTunes to my iPhone and then the music won't come over. How can I fix this message?

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

If your phone is jailbroken, we can't help you, as already stated.
If you're new to this and you're trying to download apps to put on your phone and it is NOT jailbroken, you can't do that.
You must go through the iTunes app store.

I used to be able to attach a document to an iCal entry. After the latest update, it appears this option has been removed. How can I add an attachment now? Thanks!

Hi Dan,
Yes, iCal 4.0.4 (1395.7). In edit mode, the 'attachments' option is between 'Invitees' and 'URL' (see below). As I said this is for calendars under On My Mac, I suspect you are not seeing this as your event is on MobileMe.

Double check your contacts email, and if its incorrect, go to their contact and change it and save it or you can delete the email you put in, and manually type it in.
Hope this helps.
How would that help the original poster?

Hi
As I see this I see two parts
• Howto go from FinalCut to iDVD
• Howto set iDVD right
In FinalCut Express (to 4) or Pro (to 6 - most probably 7 too)
• One has to set Anamorphic in the Browser window - menu columns
• Export as QuickTime movie .mov - NO QUICKTIME CONVERSION
In iDVD there are TWO places to set - WideScreen
- Start a NEW iDVD project - AND HERE SELECT WideScreen 16:9
- in Project - select Projectinfo
- now set WideScreen 16:9 - Here too
This use to work for me.
FOR FinalCut Pro-X - I have not a Clue - as I don't use it. SORRY
BTW - There is a good practice to before BURNING the DVD do
• Save as a DiskImage
• Test this by using DVD-Player tool
And if it is OK Size and All - then burn it by using
• Disk Util tool
• here set down burn speed to x4 or less (less burn errors = plays on more devices and better)
• Not using Memorex or NoName etc cheap media - as they usually DO NOT WORK as Video-DVDs
• I use Verbatim DVD-R as they play on more and even older DVD-players

My wife and I each have an Ipad and only one mail account. Both of us receive the same e-mails but when one of us deleates an e-mail it also deleates on the other Ipad. How can I stop this? I might delete an e-mail she wants to read. Thanks

My wife and I each have an Ipad and use only one mail account. Both Ipads therefore get the same mail and when either one of us deleates an email it also deleates on the other Ipad and this can be a problem if one of us doesn't want that e-mail deleted. Obviously our Ipads are synced and I don't know how to correct this. Any advice ?

If you both have the same email account, there's no setting on iPad you can use. When a message is deleted, it's deleted from the mail account server, which will happen on both devices.

I have a iphone 3GS and it just started doing this. When I play my play list, it will keep repeating the same some over and over. I have to click the next song and it plays it over and over. It doesn't go through albums or song lists. How can I stop that?

When I try to play albums or artists or any other catagories on my itunes library my iphone 3GS will only repeat the first song over and over and will not go on to the other songs. This just started. It won't random or play through the whole album or artist. How can I remedy this problem?

Turn off repeat
