I have just upgraded. AND now I can't view video fullscreen on my secondary monitor?!! Why!

I have a dual monitor set-up, with sharing. I am on a Mac OS X Version 10.7.5
I am viewing my Firefox window on my secondary monitor. (NOT Primary) When I click any video to full-screen it loads the full-screen on my primary monitor. When I click the window to full-screen (on my secondary monitor) it fills the primary monitor.
Before I upgraded, this morning, I could click the full-screen button and my video would appear on the secondary monitor. (The same monitor.) Before this morning, I could re-size the browser window to full-size and view it in my secondary monitor. (The same monitor!)
So, explain to me, why the change? Why is it when I click on a video to enter full-screen, or want to re-size a window to full-screen on my secondary monitor, it views on my primary monitor. Does this make any sense?
Why? Why would somebody want to browse on one monitor, want to watch something fullscreen, click a button and then watch it on another monitor? I just don't get it. Or why would someone be browsing in a window on one monitor, click full-screen, and want to browse in the same window on another monitor?
I am sitting here facing my secondary monitor (which I use as my art-board) and my primary monitor sits to my left. I mainly work from my secondary monitor, so when I am drawing, painting and designing my cursor doesn't 'run into' my dock features, calendar, ext. When browsing in Firefox my window is where it should be, in-front of me. So why would I want to watch a video or browse the web on my left? Why? Why would any developer or designer do this! Especially considering the second, non viewing screen is black! Which means my secondary monitor (in-front of me) is black.
When I click, view full-screen, whether video or resizing windows, whether it is my primary or secondary monitor, don't you think the screen should appear full-screen in the monitor I am using?! Right?! I mean somehow you calculated a way for Firefox to recognize which monitor to reopen in. So what's up? I didn't have this problem last week? So tell me . . . why can't I open a video in full-screen on my secondary monitor like I have been doing for years? Why am I even having to write a complaint about something I used to be able to do. AND NOW I CAN'T.
I just checked Safari. Wow. Look at that! When I want to view a video in full-screen in the appropriate monitor I can! Wow! I can actually click on my secondary monitor and it's recognizes I want to watch the video on the same monitor.
I used to be able to do this in Firefox. I guess it is time to give up on Firefox. And choose a company who understands user-perspective. Or at-least understands what an upgrade is.

Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

Installation of Yosemite seems to have just stalled and now I can't quit or restart or anything - help!

Trying to install Yosemite - seems to have frozen / stalled and now can't quit or restart or anything - help!

If you have another computer that is on the same network as the Mac you're trying to upgrade, you can try to "ssh" in to the mac while the upgrade process is running. "ssh" is a command available on many computers (built in to Linux and Mac and not sure if it is native app on Windows or not). For example on a Linux box trying to login to a Mac you could (assuming the IP address of the Mac is 192.168.99.99):
     ssh [email protected]
     The authenticity of host '192.168.99.99 (192.168.99.99)' can't be established.
     RSA key fingerprint is c2:2c:8f:f5:82:77:85:69:3a:ac:3e:30:62:55:14:1f.
     Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
     Warning: Permanently added '192.168.99.99' (RSA) to the list of known hosts.
     Password: (your password for the macuser account will not be echoed)
     Last login: Thu Nov 27 18:16:45 2014
     Macname:~ macuser$
Once you get logged in, you can do a couple of things to see if things are progressing. Try to do a couple of "df -k" commands a minute or so apart (maybe a little more) and see if the "Used" and/or "Available" column numbers change. You can also try a "top" command to see what processes are running and which are using cpu and other resources. Do a "man top" or "man df" to see more information about these commands.
Be careful and not change anything while this upgrade is proceeding - don't remove files or change things with the system. Also note that depending on which phase of the upgrade process it is in, the disk space numbers may not even change. But the "top" command should give you a very good indicator on if anything is really going on. Another good thing to look at is to do the following:
     cd /var/log
     tail -f install.log
this will show you all/most of the commands that are being run as the upgrade is in progress. Just control-c to abort the "tail" command.
Once you have convinced yourself something or nothing is going on (the time estimator seems to be horribly unreliable in the couple of times I've watched the upgrade process), then just let it finish and it should reboot at the end of the process. To log back out of the Mac, just type in the "exit" command followed by an Enter or Return.
This all assumes that you had setup "Remote Login" in the "Sharing" System Preferences pane before hand on the Mac.
Good luck...
     exit

I just installed mountain lion, and now I can't view videos?

HELP! I tried to install the adobe, but it still does not work! It just keep showing blocked plug-in. What do I do?

If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test.
1. If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, triple-click the line below to select it:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu. A folder should open. If there is more than one item in the folder with the words "Flash Player" (not "flashplayer") in the name, open the respective Info windows, check the version numbers, and delete all except the latest. You may be prompted for your login password. If you get the same error after doing that, re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from this page:
Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player
Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
2. If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked Enable plug-ins.
3. Select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
4. In the Safari preference window, select
Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
Close the window. Then select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.

I did the upgrade and now I can't load my photos to my computer

I did the ios 8.0 upgrade and now I can't move my to my computer

That happen to me as well. The photos multiplying up to 2400 photos from 800 is what burned me.
Hook the usb cable up and back them up to a folder on your computer. iTunes has a kind of limitation at least it did when I attempted to move via that route.
After I copied them I simply wiped the photos and videos off my devices ( I have more than one) and it is much better now.
That issue may be at http://www.apple.com/support
Look under iOS 8
Good Luck

Just upgraded and now a keyboard is appearing on an app and I don't want it

Just upgraded and now a keyboard is appearing on an app and I don't want it

If the keyboard isn't supposed to show in the app then it's possible that the developers need to make a change for iOS 8.
You could try closing the app via the iPad's taskbar and see if that makes any difference.
If not then you could try deleting the app and redownloading it and see if that fixes it - though if you've made in-app purchases within it you may want to check if they are re-downloadable.

I did an upgrade and now i can't get the bookmarks back in Safari like they used to be

I did an upgrade and now i can't get the bookmarks back in Safari like they used to be. How can I get contacts back in the bookmarks. Also, why does Apple always change everything? Very frustrating.

Unforunately, not that I know of.

I recently updated IOS 7.1.2 and now I can't view many images in websites? Does anyone know how to fix?
Also a security password has appeared on my iPhone which is 4 didgets long that I don;t recall setting up. This is blocking me updating IOS. It is usually alpha numeric.

Yeah that is what I thought, but the passcode used to be alpha numeric and just changed to being 4 didgets and I don;t recall making that change. This is only to approve updates on my iPhone. The other issue is on my mac pro.

I took pictures on my iphone when it was on the lock screen and now I can't view the pictures in all of my photos. How do I view them?

I took pictures on my iphone when it was on the lock screen and now I can't view the pictures in all of my photos. How do I view them?

If you go to the Photos app, is there content in the Photo Library? These would be pictures that are synced to the phone from the computer. Photos in the camera roll are those that you take with the phone, or save from email, MMS on the phone. What type of pictures are you trying to get rid of? If you are trying to get rid of the synced photos, you need to connect to iTunes, select the iPhone in the device pane, then go to the Photo tab in iTunes and remove the check mark by sync.

What happens when you try?
Are you sliding the photo/video selector, not tapping?

Ios6 update has done something to you tube icon and now I can't see videos. Flash player required message and a black bar appears when scrolling. Any ideas? I've booked an appointment at the Genius Bar next Saturday but don't want to waste their time

iOS 6 update has done something to the YouTube icon and now I can't see videos when following the new link in the bookmark bar. Flash player required message appears and there is a black bar when scrolling.

YouTube is not now part of iOS 6. However, you can download the YouTube app at http://itunes.apple.com/app/youtube/id544007664.

Just upgraded and now can't access Yahoo IM. What an I do?

I just upgraded to the newest version of Mozilla and now I can't access Yahoo IM from my Yahoo mail page. I can open and close IM, but when I click on a contact to chat, nothing happens. I get no messenger window to type in and when people send me an IM, I have no window to reply. Help!

Hi icsailor,
This sounds like a known issue reported here:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=713014
There was a workaround posted, but I've not tested it myself. Here are the steps.
# Go into Yahoo Messenger Options - Change the Window in the dropdown to Tab and press OK.
# Then go back and switch it to small window and press OK.
Once the bug is officially resolved, you could try running a Nightly or Aurora build to use the fix early.
Hopefully this helps!

TS4062 Have just upgraded and can't get my apps to sync from iTunes on pc to iPhone

I have just upgraded to iPhone 4s and can't get my apps to sync fr iTunes on my pc?

For some reason the above questions I asked are designated as solved. They definitely have not been solved!!! I cannot get my calendars to sync between my iPhone 6 Plus and my iMac program iCal. Apparently I don't know how to use this forum. I hope someone will be able to understand my message and have an answer or suggestions on how to take care of this. It's important that my calendars on my phone and computer match at all times. I have missed appointments because of this.

I installed the upgrade and now itunes can't find my library and doesn't recognize my devices. Using Windows 7. Any help?

Help!!! I installed the 10.5 update and now itunes can't find my library or recognize my devices. Running on Windows 7.

For moving your iTunes library, I recommend this method...
Assuming you use the iTunes default settings where iTunes copied added items to your iTunes folder and organizes your library (meaning - everything is all self contained in the iTunes folder), then all you have to do is drag & drop your iTunes folder (not just the iTunes Music folder you find inside the iTunes folder) to the external drive and copy the entire thing.
If you want to test that it worked or would like to actually start using it from that location instead, use these instructions when you start iTunes to point it to the new location...

If you are just testing, then close iTunes after you verify it works, and restart iTunes again with the same instructions and point it back to your internal drive (original) location.
