I do not want FF to upgrade and require a reboot. The settings are correct. I only see a default profile at firefox -p. HELP!

I believe I have tried everything. I tried execution via CMD firefox.exe -p and I only see one profile. I have it set not to update at all. I don't mind updates, really, but when my PC needs a reboot to use FF that is an issue with me. Sometimes it is only when I try to execute a hyperlink from a program such as e-mail (Outlook 2010), but at times the entire FF application gets hosed and the cursor just blinks while in the FF environment.
Sometime I do video editing, am engaged in a MS practice exam, or corresponding via time sensitive e-mail. Rebooting when FF tells me too is often inconvenient, and yea I know I can switch back to IE on the fly, but its hard to keep bookmarks, and settings on two or more browsers simultaneously, and it is all about a positive user experience, is it not?
Any help, answers, suggestions?
Thanks, Tony

Firefox shouldn't need a Windows reboot to update.
If this is needed then it means that some file were in use by another applications (possibly security software) and Firefox wasn't able to replace/update all the files.
If you have such security software them you would have to contact them for support and ask how to disable this feature or switch to other security software that doesn't has this feature.
Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) to see if that has effect.

My photos are not streaming from my iPhone 4 to my iPad 7. The settings are correct and it always has before I had a recent holiday in Cuba. Those photos didn't stream and now new photos since home in Vancouver, Canada are not?

Hmm... It looks like they are gone forever now then. I can't think of any other way of getting them back apart from restoring from an iTunes or iCloud backup. Somebody else might be able to help but I think they're gone forever. I don't know why they were wiped from your iPod but it could be something to do with security. In the future I would recommend syncing to iTunes or iCloud to prevent it from happening again. You can always make a reservation at the Genius Bar and see what those guys can do because it seems that they are still there, they are just 'hidden' from view. http://concierge.apple.com/reservation/gb/en/techsupport/

I'm still experiencing this problem. I went to settings, general, software and it says Install now. But when I try, I get an error message.

Lock screen and keyboard sounds have quit working. The settings are correct and the device is not muted. What else can I do to get the sounds working again?

Four days ago the lock screen and keyboard sounds quit working, but was able to reset the settings. Two days ago I had to do this and turn off the device and then restart it to get the sounds back. Today they suddenly went out and I can't get them working again. The settings are correct and the device is not muted. My OS is up to date. What else can I do to get the sound back?

Hi there,
I would recommend taking a look at some of the troubleshooting stepd found in the article below.

Try a couple of basic troubleshooting steps that can apply to any iPad issue.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
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 - let go of the buttons.
Quit the mail app and restart. In order to quit or close apps - Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
None of these things may work, but without more specific information, they are a good place to start.

First off it would be good to learn how to use iPhoto - editing is one of the most basic operations - what version of iPhoto do you have? Have you watched the videos and looked in Help?
In general you select the photo can click edit - to straighten you use the "Straighten tool" - to remove areas around the photo you use the "crop tool"

My ATV is not displaying on my TV. My network is working, my software is up to date, ATV turns on and the white light does not flash. I have recycled all my equipment and it is still not responding. All the settings are correct as well. I am puzzled.

My ATV is suddenly not displaying on my TV. My network and Internet connections are all working, my software is up to date, the ATV white light is on steadily, all my settings are correct and I have power cycled all my equipment. Is there something more I can do, or is it possible my ATV needs repair?

it might
for my appletv to display on my tv I have to choose the hdmi port i have connected to as input source
I do that using my tv remote
how depend on the tv
before taking it back you should also test with another hdmi port and another tv (friend of family) to verify that it is indeed broken

TS2446 I have been through all of the settings & done what was indicated however, my Apple ID that shows on my iphone when I want to update my apps is incorrect even though all the settings are correct in Settings/Store. Now what can I do???

The Apple ID on my iPhone is incorrect when trying to update apps. It is correct in my Settings. I have signed out & signed back on & this does not make any difference. I have also changed my password and that doesn't help. HOW can I correct the incorrect Apple ID that only shows when I try to update apps?? I would appreciate help! THANKS!

Even if you put a credit or debit card on file with iTunes it will still use your balance FIRST.
I would suggest putting a card on file and testing to see if it will allow you to make a purchase, then removing the card from the account after successful download of an item.

HT5824 photos taken on my Iphone are not appearing in ICloud/IPhoto. ( to my knowledge, the settings are set for "share/upload"

Photos taken on my Iphone do not appear in ICloud. I've checked the settings but am unable to determine
what, if anything, I need to do inorder to syn the photos.
Technically, I need to review the settings on my Iphone and ICloud that will enable a seamless transfer of photos.
Additionally, I need to review the computer (microsoft)setting that enable a sync of photos with ICloud.

Everything is fine, because there is no web application for photos at the moment. These are the options to view your Photo Stream:
-On your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, your photos will appear in the Photos app in the Photo Stream album.
-On your Mac, they appear in the Photo Stream view in iPhoto or Aperture.
-On a PC, your photos download to the Photo Stream download folder. By default, this folder is located at C:\Users\Apple\Pictures\Photo Stream\My Photo Stream. You can change this location by visiting Photo Stream Options in the iCloud Control Panel for Windows.
-On Apple TV, your photos will appear in the Photo Stream view under Internet in the main Apple TV menu after you sign in with your iCloud account.

Bleeds wont show up on pdf (and i'm pretty sure all the settings are correct)

So i think i've done everything right settings wise. also checked on internet just to be sure i wasnt forgetting anything. But still... no bleeds when i export to pdf
Can anyone tell me why it wont work?? Tnx!

In Normal view mode you should see the page trim and the bleed area. An object can extend outside of the trim box. So both of these pages have an 1/8" bleed, but the orange box on the bottom page bleeds but on the top page it doesn't:

My iMac mouse and trackpad will not scroll or swipe. as far as I can tell, the settings are correct.

I've had this Imac for a year and have had no problems until the mouse and trackpad both stopped scrolling a few weeks ago. I'm guessing it is some setting that is causing this since both are not working but I'm about to toss this out the window cause Apple makes it nearly impossible to use the software without the ability to scroll and swipe. I have checked the obvious settings. Please Help!!

how do you try to scroll ?
some people are used to trackpads scrolling when they move their finger out in the right side or the likes
with newer macs one scroll by placing 2 fingers beside eachother and moving them up and down

In the wee hours of the night I had an idea and downloaded OSX again and that seems to have fixed my problem. I wish I'd thought of that last week!
Many thanks to the others who have researched and commented on simialr problems: you've encouraged me to use the Apple community.

Since upgrading to Yosemite my macbook pro keeps going to sleep if I am not using it. I want it to stay on as I leave it doing things overnight etc. It was fine before the upgrade and I have all the system preference set to "never turn off"

Since upgrading to Yosemite my macbook pro keeps going to sleep if I am not using it. I want it to stay on as I leave it doing things overnight (cd's / recording etc. It was fine before the upgrade and I have all the system preference set to "never turn off" - Help !!!

Good advice from Linc Davis that should sort out your query i think...
However you dont want to set your MBP to never go to sleep...
Adjust reasonable sleep settings...
And the download an APP called caffiene...
When you click it you can have your MBP never go to sleep with a single click of your menu bar... and with another click it can go to sleep normally to maintain the laptop...
Simply click the cup... To toggle never sleep/sleep

Since I've upgraded to Maverick the airpot utility does not recognise that there is a time capsule on the wireless network. I can see the TC using the air port utility on my iPhone5 and on my iPad. What am I doing wrong on my macbook?

I have over 250G backed up and I really don't want to reset everything and start again.
Not sure what you mean here.
A reset will not affect any of the data on the Time Capsule hard drive. You would have to perform a completely separate and very deliberate Erase Disk operation for that to occur.
I'm not recommending that you perform a default reset, but it is an option if there is really nothing else to try.
I don't know if what you are seeing is a Mavericks issue or not, since I refuse to use any new software until at least the first major update with fixes comes along.
Another user may be able to offer more input on Mavericks.
