I cannot open FF when I click on the desk top icon.

I cannot open FF when I click on the Icon. I have reinstalled it, and done everything that I know ot do. I have restored my computer to a earlier date. I can get to Gmail through E-, but cannot open FF.

It's possible that the desktop shortcut is corrupt. To create a new one, please follow these steps.
#Right click the existing shortcut and go to Properties.
#Then click the button called ''Find Target'' which will take you to '''firefox.exe'''.
#Delete the existing desktop shortcut.
#Right click and hold down the right mouse button while you drag firefox.exe out of its folder and onto the desktop. When you let go of the right mouse button, you'll get a menu. Choose '''Create Shortcut Here'''.
I believe the "Find Target" button has changed in Windows 7, but I can't recall what it's called now.

I have just updated my software and now I cannot open iTunes when I click on the icon in the dashboards, it doesn't open

I recently updated my iTunes and now when I click on the iTunes icon the page does not pop up. What do I do??

See this thread: iTunes 12.1 Not Finding iPhone

Iphone 6 tells me that "Item not available" in my country UK, when i click on the itunes store icon for the app to open the music, movies or tv shows section of the app. is this a bug?

I am based in the UK and have just got a new iphone 6, everything works well except when i try to turn on the itunes store app - i can do a search and buy music etc that way, within the app, however, if i go to Music, Movies or the TV shows section within the Store app, i get a message come up saying "Item Not Available" - This item you've requested is not currently available in the UK Store, but it is available in the US store. Tap Change Store to view this item". I therefore cannot browse the music, movies or tv shows sections at all, nothing shows up except that message. All my previous itunes purchases have downloaded ok, and i can access them. My apple ID works fine and restrictions on the iphone are turned OFF. The App Store app works normally. Connection etc is all fine and I can access itunes in the normal way on my ipad and laptop, so this is just an iphone problem. Any ideas? is this a bug? I cant find anyone else with exactly the same problem. By the way, the same message comes up when i click on the red Music icon, on the iphone (situated next to the Safari icon) and then go to the "Store" via that app. my playlists are in tact, but as soon as i click that Store button, I am told that the Item is unavailable - not that i have chosen any Item lol, I just want to access the store in the normal way. Thank you in advance for any suggestions you can give

It is working now. I no longer get the message about the item not being available in the US and I can access the store.

I am having a problem. When I click on the Mobile Facebook icon it acts like it is going to start opening then it quits and goes back to the icon. So I can't use Facebook on my iPhone 4

Force quit the application and try again.
Try a reset or restart of the device, trying the app after each step.

As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?
If it does then your current library has been damaged and should be repaired: apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start
with Option #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

My iTunes won't open. When I click on the icon nothing happens

My iTunes won't open. When I click on the icon nothing happens. It doesn't bounce or anything. When i plug my iPhone into my macbook nothing happens either. I recently updated my operating system to the Yosemite. Everything worked fine until i updated it. Has anyone else experienced this? Any suggestions?

Program folder? In general backing up and restoring application folders is not going to work. Windows programs should be installed using the appropriate installation programs.

Does your question involve iPhoto in some way?

The window that opens when I click on the Time Machine icon is Finder (devices) and when I close this Time Machine also closes.

You will need to be much more specific about what you problem is. That is how TM works. That is how you find things to restore from TM, by using a Finder window so that you can browse through the Mac's hierarchy of folders and files.
Why are you double posting this?

Hi, my iphoto had a transparent ? mark on it and wouldn't open so I dragged it onto the desk top and now it has disappeared... I cannot find it anywhere in my finder, it seems to be gone, please help!

You have one and possibly two problems.
First problem you tried to open the iPhoto library with iTunes and appeared to have set iTunes as the default app for iPhoto Libraries. That isn;t going to work.
To fix that select the iPhoto library in the Finder and do a File->Get Info. In the middle of the Info window you'll see Open With dropbox. Click on that and select iPhoto, then select the Change All button
This will get iPhoto back as the default app to open iPhoto Libraries.
Double click the library now and if nothing else is wrong iPhoto will open the library. If it does do as Michael wrote and go to the Applications folder and drag iPhoto to the dock to remake the shortcut.
However since you started this thread by saying that the iPhoto shortcut in the dock had a question mark on it it is possible that iPhoto is missing from your Applications folder. If it is post back.

Make sure your Mac's software is up to date.
Click your Apple menu  top right in your screen.
From the drop down menu click Software Update.

When i click on the Itunes desktop icon nothing happens?

When i click on the Itunes desktop icon nothing happens? I've uninstalled itunes with Revo Uinstaller and deleted all traces and then reinstalled it through the Apple Software Updater and i still cant get Itunes to come up when i click on it.
I've read that i can go to the task manager and end the process but im afraid to it says "Warning" when i click to end the process.
Anybody help?

+Yeah itunes.exe is the process im wondering about ending, wouldn't it be ended if i'v turned my computer of since then?+
Something must be auto-starting itunes, then. For instance MSN messenger, it can have a plug-in to show what's playing in itunes and that could be starting itunes. There are other programs that can do it too - I don't know what's on your PC.
Since this is happening in more than one account, I think you are going to have to go through the pain of using MSCONFIG to troubleshoot this issue.

In finder, I have periodically a "shared" PC showing up. I have Java, I think someone is trying to access my computer but i cannot find anything when I click on the shared item, just a PC with numbers.

hp3cd92ba6f70c. I have tried removing it from finder from the previuos discussions instuctions but cannot. I have two mac laptops, Ipad and two iphones that connect wifi. Not a PC in the house., Ideas? do they have access to my computer? Has someone broken through to my wifi?

When you turn on your Mac is will search for any computers that it's possible to connect to. You can't connect with any of them unless you and other computer user set up a sharing network.
It's like looking through a window. You can see someone on the other side but can't communicate with them unless you open the window and shout at them.
