I can't use the search feature, nor can I return "home" with the "home" button.

6/8/11, I noticed that My Firefox home page remained blank with "untitled" in the tab. When I tried to do a search, the page remained blank and do info showed up, even though it said "done" in the lower left hand corner. I can open a website if I type it into the window, but I cannot return "home" when I click on the "home" button. It remains on the web page I am currently viewing.

Apparently it's related to the Firefox plug in.
This isn't exactly a solution but more of a way to avoid opening PDFs with Firefox's plug in.
1. Highlight "Tools" from the Menu Bar in the top left of the screen (or click "Options" if using the Firefox Compact Menu)
2. Select to "Options
3. Select "Applications"
4. Look for "Adobe Acrobat Document" under Content Type and to the right under Action select "Use Adobe Reader (default)" instead of the using Adobe Acrobat in Firefox
5. Open a test PDF. It should open in it's own window now.
Again, not a complete solution but something that'll at least let you scroll with PDFs open.

I used the compatibility button with IE and our company program. I can't get the company program to work using Firefox. How do I make compatiable?

With IE and my company program access, I used the compatibility button so it would work. I can't find a solution with Firefox to utilize my company program. I tried Shift Control R and Shift reload. But to no avail. I really need to use my company program to access account info and I am not wanting to resort back to using IE as my internet browser. Please help.

As you have discovered, Firefox does not have a feature similar to IE's compatibility mode where non-standards-compliant pages designed for older versions of IE can run in newer versions of IE.
The solution really depends on what is wrong with those pages. Does your IT support Firefox and/or are they willing to make fixes?
Note that you can use different browsers for different sites. If you need IE for internal sites, that doesn't mean you can't use Firefox for your regular browsing. You wouldn't be the only person in this thread doing that. ;-)

After last maverick update macbook pro can't be shut down anymore - only by using the power button

Hello!
I hope that someone can help: after the last Maverick update I can't shut down the computer anymore - or restart. I need to use the power button. Furthermore several apps don't close when they are supposed to be closed - I always have to check with Force Quit. I could live with that, but not being able to shut down or restart the Mac is more than tiresome. Can anybody help?

These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Note the timestamps of the BOOT_TIME log messages, which refer to the times when the system was started. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Select the messages logged before the boot, during the time something abnormal was happening. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
For example, if the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down for three minutes before you forced a restart, post the messages timestamped within three minutes before the boot time, not after. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract—not at the beginning.
If there are long runs of repeated messages, please post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
          DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A crash report has a name that begins with the name of the crashed process and ends in ".crash". A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". A shutdown stall report has a name that ends in ".shutdownstall". Select the most recent of each, if any. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot. It's possible that none of these reports exists.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash or panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

Can I use the "same" button multiple times for multiple galleries?

OK so I am extremely untrained in CS4 and Actionscript. However I have managed to get along fairly well until I started to dynamically upload images as a gallery. This works great if I have one gallery, but for my site I have 9 galleries!!! I have a back and next button, but I want to be able to use those same buttons for all of the galleries so they look the same. I have split them up and renamed them, but I am clueless on how to script the buttons to work. Please help...and don't laugh at my poor scripting. This is what I have now because I do not know where to put the other button names without getting errors.
stop();
next_btn .addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, nextImage);
var imageNumber: Number=1;
function checkNumber(): void{
    next_btn.visible=true;

        trace(imageNumber);

I'm still a novice with Flash myself, but I have two comments.
First, at this point, won't your buttons control all galleries at the same time? Which means, if I go to image 5 in one gallery, then move to another gallery, I'll start at image 5, because the actions are all connected.
Second, you can definitely use the same buttons for multiple galleries. It seems to me that as long as you've assigned the buttons an instance name, these actions should already work to control all the galleries (see the note above). I guess I would need to understand a bit more about how your project is built.

I downloaded the new Firefox but it constantly freezes, doing absolutely nothing, and I can't even close it from my Mac dock bar, I have to turn off my laptop using the power button as Firefox won't let me shut down. What can I do?

Hi
I recently downloaded the new Firefox (Firefox 4, I think - you can tell I'm very tech savvy!) and it constantly freezes, I can't do anything with it at all - I can't even close it from the icon in my Mac dock bar.
I have tried restarting my computer - though I have to turn it off by using the power button as as Firefox is open and totally unresponsive it won't let me shut down. About a minute after re-starting Firefox, restoring my tabs or starting afresh, it freezes again.
This is obviously very annoying and I'm not sure what I can do about it. Firefox is my preferred browser, and I'd really like to be able to use it again!

This is not a reply. I just want to elaborate on this problem.
My computer freezes occasionally when it is used after being sleep for a while. The spinning ball appears and everything is totally disabled. Nothing on the keyboard works.
The mouse moves, but does not work.
The only solution is to turn the power off and on (losing all data in open applications.)
I kept the System monitor running on the side to find out which program was running when the computer froze. The Monitor as well as all other applications froze, but the data showed:
Firefox 18.4%
Activity Monitor 0.9%
Firefox Plugin 0.2%
This is all the information I have. By the way, I am using iMac with OS 10.6.

How can I make the background one solid color? It is too difficult and noticeable when I use the retouch button and try to erase all the creases in my backdrop. So, how can I have just a solid white background?

When talking about a specific image posting the image may be useful.
One can use a Layer Mask and add a white Layer underneath.

I can't drag and drop iTunes music files into Roxio Jam 6 anymore and, now I have to import music one song at a time by using the " " or "-" buttons on the bottom. What is going on? G5 Dual 2 Ghz and OS 10.4.11

Hi. I have not used Roxio Jam for quite a long time and I just wanted to make a few CDs. Jam used to work easily and well. I have a problem. I can't drag and drop iTunes music files anymore and, now I have to import music one song at a time by using the "+" or "-" buttons on the bottom. What is going on? I trashed the preferences file and restarted Jam to no avail. I also have selected that Jam should open files with iTunes in the Jam preferences. I have a G5 DP 2Ghz PPC machine with OS 10.4.11, iTunes 9.2.1 and Quicktime's version is 7.6.4. I have 2 GB of RAM and the machine has dual 1.25 Ghz. processors plus a 500 GB HD. Can anybody give me any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Larry

I found an solution.
Uninstalling AirParrot as well as the two offending AirParrotDriver.kext and APExtFramebuffer.kext files in System>Library>Extensions was the fix. All problems disappeared.

First, Go to System Preferences, keyboard, and click on the Keyboard tab
Make sure that the checkbox by "Use all F1, F2, etc, keys as standard function keys" is NOT checked.
Next, click on the Show All button, and select Bluetooth. You should see your Apple Wireless Keyboard listed on the left side of the screen.
Click once to select it, and then click the gear icon at the bottom of the box, and choose Disconnect.
Power off the keyboard by holding down the power button on the keyboard for a few seconds until it show "keyboard Off on your imac screen, then turn it back on again.
The device should appear once again in your bluetooth list.
Try out the volume control buttons now, and see if that cleared things up

Can you have PXIe 1062Q turn on without using the power button

I am using a PXIe-1062Q for a test project that will be inside of a protective case. The power button to the chassis will be covered by a plate on the protective case that will make it annoying and difficult to power on using the power button on the chassis. The chassis will be plugged into a trip-lite power strip that is mounted in the case. Is there any way that I can have the chassis power on when I turn on the power strip?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I found an alternate route. Under the BIOS of the controller I changed the AC power Loss settings to TURN on after the AC power is returned. This allows me to use the power strip in my configuration to control the AC power distributed to the controller. The following steps will describe how I completed this.
Power on the PXIe-8115 controller.
A message will appear on your monitor Press <DEL> to enter SETUP
Select "delete" (quickly, because you don't have much time before the window disappears and the controller continues to load normally.
This will open up the BIOS Main Menu
Select Advanced tab ( use arrow keys to highlight different tabs and selections, select specific setting to change with "enter"
Select >>Power/Rest Configuration
Change configuration to power on when AC power is restored.
The controller can be shut down normally using the start menu and "shut down"
The chassis's power button is still capable of turning on the power to the controller, but now when I shut off the AC power strip, and then return the power, the chassis controller powers up.

Reset the SMC and then try a restart or shutdown from the drop down menus.

Then if that doesn't work, backup because you have an OS X issue that will require either a repair or reinstall.

I'm working on AE version 5.5 tutorial; the instructions in chapter 9 tell me to use the "fill" button located in the tools panel. problem is, it's not in the Tools panel. Any idea where to find the "fill" button?

why a duck wrote:
AE CS 5. the version of software is 5.5
When you hit Help>About, what version number does it say?
Could you show an image of the tutorial or link to it so we can see more clearly what it's asking you to do?

I can't use the search feature, nor can I return "home" with the "home" button.
