Try clicking the small 'lock' icon in the lower right corner of the Get Info window. You will need to input your admin password when asked.

I can't click on the tabs on my desktop firefox, firefox 30, how do you fix this?

I have reset and still get this issue, I would go and click on open new tab and then I would see the tab on the toolbar. I would go and try to open the tab by clicking on it and it would not work. How do you fix this? I know about shortcuts but its irritating and I share the computer and the shortcuts is slowing productivity. Thank you in advance.

The mouse does not activate a tab, but a keyboard shortcut like Ctrl+2 to activate the second tab on the bar, does work?
The Reset was a good thing to try. But some add-ons may reinstall after a Reset so those are worth reviewing again.
Users have reported some new tab dysfunction is associated with Conduit add-ons, such as a Conduit plugin and/or a "Community Toolbar" extension.
You can check for and disable extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Windows: Ctrl+Shift+a , Mac: Command+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.
Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Does that help with the "+" button? If so, could you name the specific extension that caused the problem?
You might also check the Plugins section of the Add-ons page. You can use "Never Activate" to disable plugins that you don't ordinarily use.
Does that help at all?

The bottom part of my iPod Touch screen isn't responding but I can slide to unlock the screen and slide the icons at the bottom but I just can't click on them, anyway to solve this?

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.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Can I recover the icon saying the name of the presons ipod if I can I can unlock my ipod on my new computer

No idea what you are saying or asking.

My iPhone 4s constantly locks in the lock screen, I can't unlock until I turn the device off and on again. There's some solution?

Sometimes, when the device is locked, I can't unlock, I can't slide my finger horizontally, just vertically. When I turn it off and on again, it backs to normality.
It appears to be "frozen", but I can turn it off.
I thought that it may be happening by low free space, but there's 'bout 3.4 GB free.
I've realized that when I use Siri and voice commands it happens more.
Somebody can help me?
Thx a lot

Basic Troubleshooting Steps when all else fails
- Quit the App by opening multi-tasking bar, and swiping the App upward to make it disappear. (For iOS 6, holding down the icon for the App for about 3-5 seconds, and then tap the red circle with the white minus sign.)
- Relaunch the App and try again.
- Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
- Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
- Reset All Settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings)
- Restore from backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 (If you don't have a backup, make one now, then skip to the next step.)
- Restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 For this step, do not re-download ANYTHING, and do not sign into your Apple ID.
- Test the issue after each step. If the last one does not resolve the issue, it is likely a hardware problem.

I can't click on the icons at the top of a site. What's causing this?

I have firefox and it's having a strange problem today. When I'm on facebook, I can't click on the icons at the top. I can't click the message, friend request, notifications, home, profile icons and can't click the one that allows you to sign out. So i can't even sign out. What I mean by can't click is when I put the cursor over those icons, it doesn't change into the finger. When I left click it anyway, nothing happens. This doesn't happen in internet explorer, but I want to keep using firefox. What's causing this? I also noticed that this doesn't just happen on facebook. I've uninstalled and reinstalled firefox. I restarted the PC. It didn't help.

The Yahoo! Toolbar extension has been reported to cause this issue.

On your iPad, just go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, etc.>Add account>iCloud and put in the details of the account you set up. Shouldn't be a problem at all.

How can i unlock my iphone from the us

how can i unlock my iphone from the us?? please help

If you are referring to a lock to a specific cell carrier, so you can use the iPhone with a different carrier, only the cell carrier to whom the phone is locked can authorize unlocking. You will need to contact the carrier.

I can't found weather icon on the iPad

Hello I can't found weather icon on the iPad after I update iOS 7

See the following topic:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5326470?start=0&tstart=0
Also note there is no built-in Weather "app" on the iPad (if that's what you were looking for), accessible from the home screen as there is on the iPhone. The iPads never came with one.

All of a sudden I can no longer open a new tab using either the icon on the tab bar, the keyboard short cut or the File menu option. I can open a new tab ONLY by clicking on a bookmark or link.

I can no longer open iphoto. When I click on iphot the screen appears and the icon in the centre of the screen continues to rotate . No library or other item appears on the left.

I am no longer able to access iphoto. When I click on the icon. The screen opens but remains dark with the spinning icon continuing indefinately. In the light panel on the left hand side there is no list of albums or the library.

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

I synced my Ipod to itunes now i can only double click the icons on the screen it seems that the swiping feature has been disabled, how do I get it back to normal? I've restored it but nothing has changed

I synced my Ipod to itunes now I can only double tap the icons on the screen, it seems that the swipeing feature has somehow been disabled, Is there a way i could fix it or get it back to normal?

Hi there,
It sounds like you may have an accessibility feature called VoiceOver enabled. Take a look at the article below for more information on how to use VoiceOver as well as how to disable it.

How, please, can I get rid of the icons in the bookmarks toolbar so I have space for more bookmark names? Thank you

I try to get as many items as I can in the bookmarks menu toolbar (typically using 3 letter names). F4 adds an icon next to each name - taking up valuable space. How, please, can I get rid of the icons in the bookmarks toolbar so I have space for more bookmark names? Thank you.

If you remove the names then you may have a problem with organizing or searching for bookmarks. 
If you do not want to use the extension then you can achieve the same effect with code in userChrome.css 
That is what I would do.
Add code to userChrome.css below the @namespace line.

I have a problem with iphoto (have a mac book pro): the icon in the dock appears with a question mark, and the application is gone!!! Can someone tell what's going on? Yesterday I had the same problem with itunes: I downloaded the last version (it's free), but I cannot do the same with iphoto, and more important: I need to know what is happening!!! Please help me!

Applications should not disappear all by themselves.
If they are then that coud indicate serious problems with your hard drive.
Backup everything up as quickly as possible.
Using Disk Utility verify your system disk.
