I don't know why but suddenly Firefox won't open anymore. I discovered that it will open again as long as MSIE is running. Why and how can I fix this?

I've been using Firefox no problem for a long time but suddenly it stopped running today. I click on the icon and nothing happens. I updated to the most recent (just in case) and it still isn't loading up. Out of frustration I opened MSIE to search for this problem and I noticed that Firefox was working again. But, when I closed out of MSIE I couldn't get Firefox to work.

Not sure what you mean then. Is QuickTime still open and playing the video? If so, do you mean you can't even get back to QT to shut it down?
Check the Dock for the QT logo. Click it to bring that app to the foreground. The menu bar then should say QuickTIme Player next to the Apple logo. Close the app and the video will shut down with it.

On ebay I can see the gallery picture but can't click on any other available picture. Firefox won't access them. I have to switch over to Int. Exp. to see the other pics How can I fix this problem?

Also, if I do a Google search and a list of things comes up, in all the picture fields there won't be any pictures. There are other sites that this occurs on also, and on some places that ask me to type in a series of misshapen letters, I can't see those letters.

As Larry says, restoring the back up is the fastest and best solution. Otherwise:
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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords 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. .

Suddenly some bookmark folders do not open anymore when I go under "bookmarks" if I use them in the sidebar it works. How can I fix this, it is only with 2 folders, all the other work fine.

I have created several bookmark folders and everything has worked fine until recently. Suddenly 2 folders do not open anymore when you hover the mouse over the folder.
If I have the bookmarks in the sidebar everything works fine.

-> click '''Firefox''' button and click '''Exit'''
Start Firefox in Safe Mode by Holding down the '''Option''' key while starting your Mozilla application.
As an alternate method, go to Utilities (in the Applications folder) and open Terminal, then run:
/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin -safe-mode
-> Firefox Safe Mode window will appear. DON'T SELECT ANY OPTIONS, just click '''Continue in Safe Mode'''
Firefox will open up with just basic Firefox. Check and tell if its working while you are in Safe Mode.

AdaS_VZW,
I'm not sure if the area has been surveyed; it's a large group of apartment buildings about a within a couple miles of Dulles International Airport in Northern Virginia, so I would imagine that it probably has, but I'm not sure. How would I find out?
I understand that the Network Extender does not support LTE connections (I know there are two models, the 1x-only and 3g, both made by Samsung - I have the 3g model, SCS-2U01). I know that it can support a 3G data connection, but that should be irrelevant - I'm always connected to my wifi network in my apartment.
What's particularly vexing, however, is that both a Galaxy S4 and Galaxy Nexus in my apartment (the other lines on my account) do not seem to have this issue. While I haven't done so with the S4, the Nexus exhibits this problem when my SIM is in it - and again, this is a fresh SIM from just a few weeks ago.
I'm currently trying to disable Mobile Data when in the apartment to see if that will make it more stable. I'll post in a day or two with results from that.

My external Apple USB Keyboard letters doesn't work, but the numbers do. Why and how can I fix this issue?

My external Apple USB Keyboard letters doesn't work, but the numbers do. Why and how can I fix this issue? Also, When I open the Keyboard Viewer, the letters will highlight only if I hold the modifier key(s) "Control" or "Control and Option". I really need help with this. I don't have any other computer to try it on, so I will have to test it on a friends computer sometime. But perhaps solutions that I can try right now? Thanks.

I cannot play most of the music in my iTunes as of today. Why and how can I fix this?

I cannot play most of the music in my iTunes as of today. I have over 14,000 songs. Almost ALL of them have exclamation points next to them and when I try to play them, a window saying error type 9044 appears and tells me the files cannot be located.
Why and how can I fix this?

Do you keep your files on an external drive? If so, it helps to know this in advance.

HT1338 i purchased dvd studio pro and im trying to install it but when i go to click continue it gives me this "you cant open the application gestalt tool becasue powerpc applications are no longer supported" what does that mean and how can i fix this ?

i purchased dvd studio pro and im trying to install it but when i go to click continue it gives me this "you cant open the application gestalt tool becasue powerpc applications are no longer supported" what does that mean and how can i fix this ?

I note this information from Wikipedia: "DVD Studio Pro was a high-end software tool published by Apple Inc. to allow users to create DVD masters to be sent out for replication at production houses. Its tight integration with other Apple applications allows users to take Final Cut Pro and Motion projects and render them into the DVD format without encoding to intermediary formats. This streamlines the production workflow and reduces overhead."
If that is your intent, finding a substitute program that will run on your Mac may not be as efficient. Others can advise you on alternatives, or you can post a new thread specifically with that question.
BTW: what Mac and what version of OS X?
If it is important to you to continue to use DVD Studio Pro, consider the option of installing Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels on your Mac:

Sign out of old email and sign in with new.

I have always been able to email photos (although ONE AT A TIME), but since apple replaced my dead IPad2 no one is receiving my photos. I just found out two months later! How can I fix this?

Since apple replaced my dead IPad2 I can not email photos. I didn't know that no one was receiving them until today. How can I fix this?

I don't understand the ONE AT A TIME lament, as it's pretty easy to email more than one at a time. Have you tried to and been unable or didn't know that you could?
As for no one receiving, well .... first, review how you're trying to do it and, as a check, email some to yourself. That will be a good first check.

When connected to my computer, my iPhone is telling me I have books, but I have none on my phone. What is happening and how can I fix this?

When I am connected to my computer to sync my iTunes and iPhone (4s) the 'log' in iTunes tells me I have three books installed on the device, but when I eject the phone, I have nothing installed.
What is happening, and how can I stop this - it is starting to frustrate me.
Thanks in advance.

Put it into DFU mode - hold the sleep/wake button and home button until the screen goes black (ignoring the slide to turn off slider). When the screen goes black release the sleep/wake button but hold the home button. Continue holding the home button for 10 seconds, then release it. The screen should stay black. Plug it into iTunes and it should come up with this message "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. It must be restored before use", that's when it is successfully in DFU mode. Now press the restore button in iTunes and it should run smoothly :)

HT3209 My computer meets and exceeds the requirements to watch HD 1080p movies,why does it say I cannnot watch the file may be to large and how can I fix this??

How can I fix the topic question.I can watch HD movies all day using my Bluray Player why can't iTunes let me watch the movies in 1080p and why does it say the movies are to large.

This is for the Windows 8-8.1 users out there: If you have the Pro version of Windows 8 and just recently upgraded to 8.1, Microsoft automatically includes a Virtual Machine package called Hyper-V client. It doesn't ask you if you want to install it, it just does.
This may also apply to Windows 7 users who may have inadvertently installed some version of Hyper-V on their computer.
The Hyper-V package installs a secondary video driver that breaks HDCP, which means you can't play HD movies even on a compliant system. You need to get rid of it. To do so:
Go to Control Panel
Programs and Features
Turn Windows Features on or Off
Uncheck "Hyper-V"
Reboot.
This applies to almost anything that requires HDCP, so if you're having trouble with Blu-Rays or Amazon Prime, that's likely the culprit.

Certain websites will load eg. Facebook, Google, etc. but others, eg. YouTube will not open. Why? And how can I fix this?

Firstly, I downloaded the latest edition of Firefox. It then crashed several times in a row. This is when certain websites stopped responding and refused to open. I don't know what the criteria are for which websites open and which do not as I have no problems with sites such as Facebook, Google, etc. yet sites such as Youtube won't open.
Also, If I search for something on Google, once it returns results, I cannot open certain websites from the links given to me by Google.
Eg. if I search Google for Musicnotes.com, I can click the link and the page will open. But if I search for my university website, the page won't open.
When I closed Firefox and went to reopen it, all I got was the "send error report" screen several times over. If I clicked "Close" or "Restart" Firefox, nothing would happen, it just returned me to the "send error report" screen. I then restarted Firefox in safemode as well as restarting it without add-ons. But I am having the same problems with opening websites.
What can I do?

Do a malware check with several malware scanning programs on the Windows computer. 
Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. 
All these programs have free versions.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.
