I have to re-install Firefox everyday, when I click on the desktop icon, it does not open.

When i double click the desktop icon Firefox to open it, nothing happens. I have to install the program from the setup file again. This happens everyday, it used to only happen maybe once every 2-3 months, now it's all the time. Any advice?

I hope you can help me. I purchased adobe captivate 8 on line and when I click on the email link to download, it comes up with 7 programs, some are 64 bit and some are not, my computer is 32 bit. I am not sure which of these 7 to download? All or just

I hope you can help me. I purchased adobe captivate 8 on line and when I click on the email link to download, it comes up with 7 programs, some are 64 bit and some are not, my computer is 32 bit. I am not sure which of these 7 to download? All or just the 4 non 64 bit?

I tracked down the problem with the download and installation, my windows 7 was missing a file and after reinstalling windows everything worked out. The first 32 bit program in their list was used. I hope this can help others.

Can someone tell me why every I have to reset my options when a new version of Firefox is released?

So I just installed the latest version, and I had to reset Tabs on Top to false, reset my font because the default is too small for me to see well, reset how I want PDF documents handled (I do NOT want them to open in the browser), and a few other nitpicky things. Is there some reason these preferences cannot be retained between updates?

Prefs should be retained between updates and not get lost.
Do you have nay numbered prefs-##.js file in the Firefox profile folder?
You may have a problem with your security software if you do not keep pref changes.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
You can set the layout.css.devPixelsPerPx pref to 1.0 or 1.25 (on Windows 8 the default DPI is 125%) on the <b>about:config</b> page (current default value is -1.0).
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
If necessary, adjust layout.css.devPixelsPerPx starting with 1.0 in 0.1 or 0.05 steps (1.0 or 0.9) to make icons show correctly.

On slide No. 13 of my Keynote presentation, I have varous pictures that go through automatically just as I programmed them, but if I I want to get by clicking to the next slide , it does not let me. How can I program so when I want goes to next slide?

Keynote is programmed to execute all of the effects in a build sequence before it will move to the next slide.
If you want tobe able to move to the next slide at any time in a sequence of builds, you will need to set all of the builds on that slide to: "on click". You will then need to execute each build by pressing the space bar or click the left mouse button for each object.

After updating to firefox 9 when i click on the "home" icon i get an alert that the url is not valid and can't be loaded. Why?

my computer updated to firefox 9. update was ok, but now when i click on the "home" icon, i get an alert that the url is not valid and cannot be loaded. everything is good to go as far as web surfing and so forth, but i want the firefox start page as my home page. also the private browsing option won't work because of the invalid url.

Hi ozzie427,
What URL do you have bookmarked as your home page? You might want to look at the Knowledge Base article [[How to set the home page]]. There are steps in there to restore the home page to default. I would try that first to see if it clears up any strangeness. If that works, you can set the home page to anything you like.
Hopefully this helps!

HT1349 I accidentally erased the URL for my homepage with safari in the preferences, can someone tell me what to put in there so when I click on the safari icon in my dock it will go there? thank you, kathy

I accidentally erased the URL for my homepage with safari in the preferences so can someone tell me what to put in there so when I click on the safari icon in the dock it will take me to the safari page it had when I first got my macbook pro?

Safari comes with the Apple website pre-defined, so if you want to use it as the homepage for Safari, open Safari menu > Preferences > General, and type "http://www.apple.com" (without quotes) on the homepage box. Then, close the Preferences window and Safari will be set up with this page

Can't download Lion. When I click on the Lion icon in the App store, nothing happens?

Can't download Lion. When I click on the Lion icon in the App store, nothing happens?

I hate the fact that I found this topic on Google, but after I had to log in to post this reply it took me somewhere else! Again, a site designed by people who must never use their own software. Any site that makes you log in to use a feature should not cast you adrift one you've logged in for the express purpose of using that very feature. It makes me angry before I even start! I am only here now because I have been run through the hoops trying to buy Lion and install it. When I launched the app store, it had a lion's face I had to click on to download. But there was no link to Buy or Download. Eventually after many relaunches I accidentally discovered that if i clicked on £20 it changed into a green Buy - but only if you click directly on it, it you click on the down arrow it invites you to copy a link or to share it with somebody.. Then it made me log in again (what instant amnesia this site has) and I had to re-enter all my credit card info because it would not access an Australian American Express card even though it has a UK billing address. So I went back again, and still got the Lion. I clicked Buy several times but nothing happened. Then out of the blue it changed to Install. I clicked that many many many many many many times. Nothing happened whatsoever. I am going to have to give up for now and try and get through to Apple tomorrow as they shut up shop and there is no sales or tech support. God knows how many times they have charged my credit card for all the times I clicked Buy and nothing appeared to happen, or maybe it did happen and just doesn't tell you.
So far tonight I've done nothing but start and restart AppStore, log in over and over, click the price>Buy and try to click install. and for all this effort so far I have got a big fat zero.
I would have thought by now that Apple would have had some experiene in designing and delivering software over the internet, but my experience tells me that they are complete beginners whe it comes to user-friendly ecommerce. This is some of the laziest web work I've had the misfortune to be annoyed by.
Here's what I think should happen:
Log in once and once only
Click the product you want
Click Buy (a separate button from the price tag)
Once sale approved, click Download
Progress bar appears

When I click on the mail icon on my iPad 2 the mail accounts do not show up.

iPad 2 32GB Version 8.1.1
When I click on the Mail icon, the mail accounts do not appear. The screen is blank except in the he upper right corner of the screen I can see mini icons: flag, folder, file box, arrow, and pad/pencil mini icon.
I've been having a number of issues with Facebook ever since I upgraded to Version 8, so I don't know if this is a version issue or something else.
I've tried rebooting/restarting, etc. Nada.
I'd appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks.

Close all apps and then reset the iPad. If that does work, reset all settings.
In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Next, reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
Reset all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings. You will not lose any data, but most of the device settings will have to be entered in the settings app again.
FWIW, I don't use Facebook at all, the app or in a browser, but I have read more that a few posts here where people that use the app all the time claim that is very buggy and causes all sorts of problems for them. Maybe closing the app along with the reset will help.

I have a mid 2009 Macbook Pro and i know the Mini-display port does not support audio out but does it support HDMI out? or do i have to buy a Mini-display to DVI and then a DVI to HDMI adapters?

Run MDP to HDMI for picture. Use a cable like this to run sound from your audio out on your Mac to your TV's audio in. That's about all you can do.

I am trying to share 3 iCloud calendars, but I do not see any options when I click on the Share icon.

I have several calendars on my iCloud, and I want to share 3 of them with my wife. I am using Safari 6.0 on Mountain Lion (10.8), and when I go to my calendars on iCloud, I see all of the calendars listed in the left column. The three I want to share already have an active Share icon (green), although I do not recall sharing these calendars in the past.
When I click on the Share icon beside each Calendar, it shows that the calendar is shared with myself. There is NO OPTION in this window for unsharing, or adding my wife to the share, or making them a Public or Private Calendar. The only option is a check box that allows me to decide whether to receive emails alerts when something is changed.
I currently see all of my iCloud Calendars on my iPhone, iPad, and Mac Powerbook (running Mountain Lion). I share them with no one else. I have three Calendars that I do not want to share, and they have the options described in the Online Support, but the three I want to share with her give me NO OPTIONS.

I should clarify that I am using a MacBook Pro, not Powerbook (if that's the proper nomenclature).

I can't tell whether or not I have successfully installed mozilla firefox. When I click on the firefox icon, it does not come on.
