I have an add-in called "Security Protection 1.0.0" that i don't recall adding and i can't find any information on it. i have disabled it for now. what is it?

the add-on is called "Security Protection 1.0.0 by lightning"
i have included the image that is shown on the addins page corresponding to this addin.
the tag lists the image source as src="chrome://shortcutff/skin/icon.png" if that is helpful.
i have noticed that the chrome browser also has the same looking addin except that it is version "1.2.4"
thank you

You can check the extensions.ini file in the Firefox profile folder to see if this extension is installed globally in case there is not Remove button in about:addons but only a Disable buuton.

I have been working on a wedding slideshow for days and have over 3,000 pictures in albums on iPhoto. It suddenly will not open without upgrading to Aperture and I can't find any of my photos!!!!

I have been working on a wedding slideshow for days and have over 3,000 pictures in albums on iPhoto. It suddenly will not open without upgrading to Aperture and I can't find any of my photos!!!! I need these photos, to complete the video, not to mention I don't want to lose them. I have had trouble ever since upgrading to Maverick.

Try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window.
2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

I had to get a new ipod....they said I just needed to plug it in and sync to my itunes.. I get an error 1413 when I try to follow the instructions to restore. I can't find any information on error 1413, what does this mean?

I had to get a new ipod....they said I just needed to plug it in and sync to my itunes.. I get an error 1413 when I try to follow the instructions to restore. I can't find any information on error 1413, what does this mean?

Now it keeps saying that it is restored but there is still no music or video on it. And a new error is coming up that says "We could not complete your iTunes store request.The iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."

I just updated Creative Cloud to 1.9.1.474, and my entire CC folder just disappeared. And I can't access any of my 18GB of files on the web. What the hell is going on?

CC says it's re-syncing all 18 GB of my files back to my HDD. I'm on crappy wifi in southern Peru, and I can't access any of my work files for (CC estimates) 22 hours. I'm basically out of business for a day or more. How the hell can Adobe allow this to happen?

With the recent update of the Creative Cloud Desktop app (1.9.1.474) we unfortunately introduced a bug which causes the creation of a new Creative Cloud Files folder, and re-sync of all content. This will only occur the first time the sync application runs after the update. This has caused understandable pain and confusion, for which we truly apologise.
The Creative Cloud Files app contains logic that supports the use of multiple Adobe IDs. This allows you to sign out of one ID and in to another, but keeps your Creative Cloud content separate. When you sign out and change IDs, the app moves the previous Creative Cloud Files folder and it's contents and appends it with the previously signed in ID (User@AdobeID). It then creates a new main folder and starts to sync content of the new ID.
The bug which I mentioned previously occurs, as the app believes an ID switch has taken place and as such, moves the current Creative Cloud Files folder and tries to append the previously signed in ID. As no switch has actually taken place it manifests as (Unknown). The app then creates a new main folder at syncs down the data.
Essentially what you end up with is a Creative Cloud Files folder with your newly sync'd data and a Creative Cloud Files (Unknown) folder that contains duplicate data.
This occurs once, after the last update completes.
The fix is to simply delete the Creative Cloud Files (Unknown) folder.
I would advise that you ensure you have no pending edits that you may have made offline and that you check the contents of the new, main Creative Cloud Files folder contains everything you expect it to. If not, check the contents of the Creative Cloud Files (Unknown) folder.
If there is still a discrepancy with your data, you can check on creative.adobe.com to confirm your data is there.
If you have any further problems or questions about this particular issue please email [email protected]

I just updated my os to lion and had to reinstall firefox . i accidentally lost all my bookmarks. I have a backup from before the update that was done through time machine but I can't find firefox in there. How can I retrieve them ?

I also have the app for my iphone which is still synced with my account and has my bookmarks there but I don't know how to get them onto firefox. The account i used to sync my bookmarks on my iphone app was under the email address [email protected] as is this one. I tried logging in with the first account but no pw I tried worked. I tried to get a new pw from the site but I was never sent an email to reset it so I created a new account under the same email address.

I got my contacts back by doing another restore! Relief..
But only a very few odd apps are showing up on the 3GS
Any suggestions?

HT1267 How do I find the owner of an iphone I have found But there is no contacts or Cell number of the phone that is the phones cell number and the phone has been suspended and you can't get any information on returning it .

How can I find the owner of a found phone that must have been reported stolen but all you want to do is find out who the person is that owns the phone. But you have no idea who the person is who stole the phone in the first place but now you only want to give it back to its rightful owner.

I found a iPhone 5s, and I'm willing to return to the owner ASAP, but it seems that "he" have not turned on "Find my iPhone".
Could anyone help me get in touch with the owner, that was probably here for the 2014's World Cup?
I'm a Brazilian Apple user, and got stolen 6 months ago. I'm fully aware of what it is. Please, don't flood me with the obvious. The law here DOES NOT WORK.
This owner must get it back, even if I must send it overseas.
Thank you for the support.

I have an iPod Touch but I currently don't have a PC. I found an app that would allow me to connect to my network drive and I was able to transfer music files to it. These files do not show under the Music app and I can't find any way to do it.

I need help from some Apple people. I have an iPod Touch and I wanted to load it up with some fresh music but I currently don't have a PC. I found an app that would allow me to connect to my 2TB network drive directly and I was able to transfer a bunch of music files to the iPod. Unfortunately, these new files do not show under the Music app and I can't seem to find any way to convince the iPod that they are music. I can play them through the file manager only. Android doesn't have this problem, any music I put on my phone is recognized as music and can be played through any of the music apps. Am I missing something or is Apple to inflexible to handle this?

You can't. The only way to get songs in the Music app is to sync from a computer or to download from iTunes.

While using the computer the wi fi dropped out and it can longer find any networks. I have played around with the air port etc , still have no networks and can't connect to internet. Please help

Hi I am having Wi fi connectivity issues , while using my computer the wi fi dropped out , I can no longer connect and no networks come up. I have tried looking into the air port, trying manually to connect to the desired network with no success , it says the Wi fi is turned on. I am at a loss to why it will no longer connect, please if you have any suggestions,as I tried to ring apple support but my warranty has expired this is my first major issue since I purchased it in 2009.
Thanks

My 4s i-phone which is 2 years old cannot find any wi-fi networks not even my home network... I had the same problem two months ago but i turned off the i-phone for 8 hours and then it was okay... Now it happened again.... I tried to restart the modem but whilst my laptop is connected regularly, my phone still cannot find any wi-fi networks... I restart the i-phone, i reset it, i chose reset network settings, reset all settings, i turned it off for a whole day in case it was overloaded, i turned on the airplane mode and turned it off again, i put it into the freezer for 10 minutes within a zipped bag but 3 days now and i still cannot be connected to my home wifi... I went to the technician today and he told me that it means that wi-fi is broken and that i need to change it with a charge of 70 euro but i have to give my phone for 10 working days so as to be fixed... I am so frustrated and i don't know if i want to give 70 euro for wifi since i don't know if it would make the same problems again...

URL is not valid and cannot be loaded pop-up problem has started again and I can't find any reference in FF Help. Do I have to scroll thru 23,000 support questions asked?

This problem HAS happened before, maybe 1.5 yrs ago. While on a valid page a pop-up saying URL is invalid and can not be loaded appears. Frequency starts increasing in time. Then I can not load any of my bookmarked pages without re-starting my laptop. Has been getting worse since last FF update.

well after 4 days and no support help, I said screw it. Good bye FireFox, your excellent customer service on this issue drove me to install Google Chrome. Just like Opera's piss poor customer support drove me to FireFox, now Firefox is driving me elsewhere.
This issue is NOT AN ADD ON issue, nor THEME ISSUE, its a FIREFOX ISSUE, but their lack of a fix is inadequate for me. I hate the damn annoying pop up every time I open firefox so I will dump firefox and move on after 5 yrs.

Firefox continually hangs even after trying the solutions listed here, and in other sites, and I can't find any common link to pinpoint what is causing it.

I love Firefox but I may have no choice but to try Chrome instead. Over the past couple of weeks the version of Firefox I have installed on my Lenovo Edge 15 latop (which is the most current version of Firefoxc), hangs several times an hour, for approx a minute each time. I have tried to locate the cause of the problem by eliminating the websites I commonly visit, but it seems that it does not matter what website I visit, it continues to happen. I have even tried loading Firefox in safe mode and it still makes no difference. And this problem is only affecting Firefox, and none of my other programs are affected. I have used resource monitor to try and locate the problem and, when this problem occurs, Firefox is reported as taking up 25% of CPU consumption. I am using Windows 7.

I have a Mac and have tried the suggestion above with the places.sqlite but it DID NOT HELP! FIREFOX IS STILL HANGING!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been a real fan of firefox for several years, but lately it's just plain annoying!!! I have to force quit FF several times a day. I THINK I'M GOING TO SWITCH TO SAFARI until you guys get your act together soon :(

HELP!!! I am trying to install actions into pse 13, which I have done several times before and I can't find my media database.db3 file to delete to get them to load. I have totally uninstalled pse13 and reinstalled and still having the same problem. I

Anyone?

Are you aware that you can just load them into the actions panel by going to window>actions, then clicking the four lined square on the panel and choosing Load Actions from the menu? You don't have to put them into the effects panel anymore and there's no deleting mediaDatabase.db3 that way.
If you really need them in the effects panel for some reason (like for add-on tools) you are probably not finding the right library. The library at the top level of your hard drive isn't exactly hidden in recent versions of OS X, but it's very hard to get to it. The easiest way is to go to the finder preferences>sidebar and turn on Show Hard Disks. Then when you open a new finder window your hard drive will be in the list on the left side of the window. Click it and the library you want will be at the top level of results on the right side. But the actions panel is much easier.
