I find 'plugin-container.exe' takes up 68-91% of my CPU and effectively hangs my machine; how can I avoid this, from happening?

You can disable the plug-in container for one or two plug-ins, or for all the plug-ins it works for.

HT2731 My wife died and I would like to take her iTunes account off the iPad and use my account. How can I do this?

How do I change an account for iTunes on the iPad?

You can't. If the bit before the @ is the same, then they are the same account. You can't delete one whilst keeping he other.

Plugin-container.exe takes over and uses 100% of my CPU locking me out and leaving my PC non-functioning. Is this a bug, or a memory leak, in the Firefox software? Can anything be done to fix this problem?

In looking at Windows Task Manager I found that plugin-container.exe was taking over 100% of my CPU and my system was frozen. Is this a memory leak or other bug?

Thank you! I have been having problems with Adobe Flash since downloading the new 11.1 version. I will download it again and reinstall it, hopefully that will correct the problem.

It's not a good idea to use a network disk for both Time Machine backups and other things. By design Time Machine will eventually consume all the space on its output disk, which will then cause problem for your other files. I'd store those other files on an external disk connected to the Time Capsule. The problem with that is that Time Machine will only back up files that are local to your Mac. That means that you'll only have one copy of the files on or attached to your Time Capsule.

I keep getting error message "AppleSyncNotifier.exe - Entry Point Not Found" every time I start up my computer. How can I fix this

I recieve this message every time I start my computer, AppleSyncNotifier.exe - Entry Point Not Found. How can I fix this?

No problem.
You can either get it via Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update" ... it'll appear in the "New programs" section) or by downloading an installer from the following page on the Apple Website:

Hi I want to take my sons ipod off my account and make his own account, how do I do this?

Hi, I want to take my son's ipod off my account, how do I do this? Thanks

The problem with that is that all the content on his iPod was purchased under your Apple ID. Content purchased on iTunes is forever associated with that ID. Starting his own account would mean he would lose access to his current content.
My sons and I have always had separate accounts but one library on the computer. It allows us to make purchases on our own money, but still share content among all our devices.
There might be other options for your family...

Logic Pro X cut my track into multiple takes while recording. How do I merge them into one, steady track and how do I prevent this from happening again?

Almost the info you need is there... and it took me all of a few seconds to find the answers by using the search feature...
1) Flatten or Merge Takes to create one take.

You got it. OS = operating system.
safari is the internet browser on the computer? It doesnt matter what Im doing it just randomly does it more recently it has been while the kids have been doing their online maths. They would be answering a question and then it would sign them out and go back to the home page?? Weird??
Yes, Safari is the Internet browser. Click on a Safari page, go to the upper, left-hand corner, click on Safari, select About Safari, and post the information. On my Snow Leopard machine, I'm running Version 5.0.5 (6533.21.1).

Plugin-container.exe using alot of resources

Im using latest version of firefox but when i use flash player on websites like bc iplayer i notice my system is hanging and i found out it was plugin-container.exe using alot of resources.
I have latest flash player installed also
How can i stop this

There are some compatibility issues between the latest Flash player and some Firefox add-ons or settings. Could you see whether anything in this article helps: [[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox]].
You might also consider disabling the new protected mode in Flash 11.3, since that feature is currently being debugged. See this support article from Adobe under the heading "Last Resort": [http://forums.adobe.com/message/4468493 Adobe Forums: How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?]

Text appears in the FIND bar rather than website fields. How can I fix this?

When I type text into a search box in a website such as Google, ebay or Amazon, the text does not appear in the field; instead the firefox FIND bar automatically pops up and the text appears in it instead. How can I prevent this from happening?

Usually if you click in the field, Firefox will interpret the typing correctly.
Could you check to see whether you have this feature turned and, if you do, turn it off:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > General mini-tab > "Search for text when I start typing"
If that was on and you turn it off, does that fix the problem?
If not, could you try the same pages in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings). More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using
Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)
Any difference?

Plugin-container.exe loading in Gmail, what if I shut it down?

Whenever I open my Gmail (Google mail), plugin-container.exe loads into memory. What happens if I shut down plugin-container.exe via task manager while the Gmail tab is still open? Will that crash my browser? (what happens to the Gmail tab in that case?) would that be safe?
Thanks

Firefox will probably crash. For disabling plugin-container.exe, see my suggestion in this post:
