I have LR 4 and now I cannot open the software because I get this warning: "light room cannot start because it cannot create files in the temp file location. C:\windows\temp\". I think I need to have LR open in a different place but I have no idea how to do that. Any help is most appreciated.

Thank you for your prompt reply. Unfortunately I am not that tech oriented and
cannot easily find that folder. I did notice when I was booting up the LR software
that I could accept the site where LR usually is set up or choose a place. I am
thinking that the standard location for LR software is corrupted and that if I
chose a different place it would work. I say this because whether I use my
original disc or download from adobe I get the same warning. I have 100GB of
memory on the hard drive and I have cleaned the computer with Mcaffee and free
software. What should I do next? I can't use this software and I doubt LR 5
would open up with my current problem.

All of a sudden I can no longer open tabs by clicking "+" or right clicking on the tool bar. To open a new page, I have to open a whole newFirefox window. How can I fix this?

All of a sudden I can no longer open tabs by clicking "+" or right clicking on the tool bar. To open a new page, I have to open a whole new Firefox window. How can I fix this?
Also, Firefox crashes frequently. Is there a fix for this also?

Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox 3.6 that prevents new tabs from being opened.
There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
* Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
* Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons
For the second issue, the [[Firefox crashes]] support article may help.

I'm installing windows 7 64-bit on my imac which I've done before but I get a message that the partition is GPT even after I format the bootcamp partition. I just upgraded my hard drive to a 3tb and I'm allocating 1tb for windows. How can I fix this?

No easy fix for a few reasons:
1) Bootcamp requires a hybrid MBR for the partition table. That is: both an MBR and a GPT partition table at the same time with the GPT one having all partitions and the MBR one having only the ones that are relevant, but at most 4 of them (including the protective partition and the Macintosh HD one). Which leads us to:
2) The MBR part of the hybrid partition table cannot work with 3TB hard drives. MBR is limited to 2TB.
I am working on a small EFI app that can boot Windows in EFI mode on a Mac and that would mean that you can go GPT only on your system. The progress of the app is slow due to the nature of EFI and for now requires that you do an unattended Windows install with slipstreamed graphics drivers, but we are adding VGA loading on top of EFI quite soon after the rest of the app stabilises. The status of the app is documented at:
Win7 x64 booting natively via EFI (no bios emulation)
Windows does actually successfully boot in EFI mode on most Macs (anything with a 64bit EFI should work), but does not have graphics support even if you load the driver due to the VGA pci registers not being set by the firmware. Furthermore, in Setup and Safe Mode, Windows uses VGA instead of GOP which is a failure by design since VGA is a BIOS standard and not really compatible without hacks with EFI. Other EFI implementations also add VGA compatibility at a high cost to the firmware complexity for the VGA cards available on the market that don't actually contain anything in their ROM except the VGA BIOS.
My recomendations:
1) Install on a second smaller hard-drive; or
2) Wait for the EFI app to come out officially and use that to boot Windows Vista SP1 x64 and Windows 7 x64 (RTM and SP1) in the native EFI mode.
3) Wait for Windows 8 which supports VGA-less booting acording to the AMD presentation at UEFI Plugfest.

When i try to install windows 8 with bootcamp on my Macbook pro (early 2011) it says it only supports windows 7, how can i fix this?

if your computer does not support the operating system you wish to install in bootcamp then you have to use a virtual machine like virtual box to install the operating system you wish to install

Have you tried a soft-reset : Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should reappear and it will hopefully reboot.
If that doesn't work : If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

I downloaded Firefox 4.01 and now when i open a new tab, i get a blank page, instead of my home page. How do I change that? Thanks

I downloaded Firefox 4.01 and now when i open a new tab, i get a blank page instead of my home page. How can I default to my home page when a new tab opens?

You can do that by using an add-on such as:
* NewTabURL - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl
* New Tab Homepage - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage
Another way of opening the home page in a new tab is to middle click on the home button in the navigation toolbar.

I can't view PDF files on Safari 5.1 for windows 7, how do I fix this?

I like using Safari 5.1 for my web browser at work (I use a windows 7 machine). But the recent update won't let me view PDF files. I have to open up Google Chrome then copy and paste the address into it so I can view the PDF. How do I fix this?

Downloaded IOS7 on iPhone 4, have sprint as carrier, now when another Sprint phone sends a text to my sons iPhone, Im getting a copy of the texts being sent to him. Plus when I send a text, it shows as coming from my sons. What's up, how can I fix this?

I have downloaded ios7 on iphone 4s, Sprint is my carrier. When I send a text to anohter iphone ALSO using sprint, it shows as coming from my sons phone. When he gets a message from another iphone using sprint, I get copies of his messages. Go figure. It seems to be only other IPhones and Sprint users. Hasnt' happend with android phones texting him, or him texting to androids or carriers that are not sprint.

The fact that the problem only occurs when iphones are texting you leads me to think that iMessage may be the culprit. The fact that it is only iphones using SPRINT however is weird. Try turning imessage off on both yours and your sons phones to see if the problem persists. If it does, it may be a carrier problem.

I cannot open firefox anymore...I recieve the following error message....Error platform version '8.0'is not compatible with minversion = 7.0.1 maxversion = 7.0.1 How do I fix this?

The updater wasn't able to update all the files and some were left as older versions. 
Do a clean reinstall.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version.
* Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

ITunes Won't open in Windows 7, how do I fix this?

I have run the installer and installed the software, but when I attempt to open iTunes it gives me the usage screen where I click "Agree" then the program crashes. I opened the task manager and right after clicking agree to process disappears.
How can I open this so I can update my new iPhone and iPad?

Invisible ads on pages, whenever I click they will redirect me in a new tab or window. How do I fix this?

OK so I use Firefox for a lot of things. I have been having a major problem with ads recently. They have been completely invisible, covering nearly the entire page, and opening up obvious adware (I.E. Telling me to update browser, flash player, etc.) every time I click. What is this and how do I fix it?

Wow, that's evil. Here's my suggested procedure for tracking down and cleaning up bad add-ons and other common sources of ad injection. I know it seems long, but it's not that bad.
(1) Open the Windows '''Control Panel''', Uninstall a Program. After the list loads, click the "Installed on" column heading to group the infections, I mean, additions, by date. This can help in smoking out undisclosed bundle items that snuck in with some software you agreed to install. ''Don't be fooled by seemingly innocent or important names if you do not remember choosing to install them.'' Take out as much trash as possible here.
(2) Open Firefox's '''Add-ons page''' using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
* in the Windows "Run" dialog, type or paste <code>firefox.exe "about:addons"</code>
In the left column, click '''Plugins'''. Set nonessential and unrecognized plugins to "Never Activate".
In the left column, click '''Extensions'''. Then, if in doubt, disable (or Remove, if possible) unrecognized and unwanted extensions. (Note: you might not be able to manually Disable extensions in Safe Mode because they are disabled automatically.)
Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Any improvement?
(3) You can search for remaining issues with the '''scanning/cleaning tools''' listed in our support article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]. These on-demand scanners are free and take considerable time to run. If they finish quickly and especially if they require payment, you may have a serious infection. I suggest the specialized forums listed in the article in that case.

Firefox displays as a black window. How do I fix this?

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling. I have tried to open in safe mode. Neither of these actions fixes the problem. Can anyone suggest anything else?

hello dipatbun, other users with this problem all had an embedded intel hd3000 graphics card with an old driver present. in case this also applies to you, here would be a link to update the driver, which in turn should also address the black firefox problem: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=23764 (for win7 64 bit)
in case this doesn't solve the issue or does not apply to your system, start firefox into safemode '''by pressing the shift key while the application is launching''' & disable hardware acceleration in the firefox ''menu ≡ > options > advanced > general'' (that setting will take a restart of the browser to take effect).

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes). 
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]] 
 
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears. 
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions. 
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Safari keeps re-routing to spam sites and opening spam windows. How do I fix this?

Hi,
recently Safari started having issues. When I open a new window it re-routes itself to a random spam site. I doesn't matter what website I'm going to and it doesn't happen every time, just at random. Also, when I am on a website and I go to click on a link (again, doesn't matter what website or link..example: on msn and clicking on a news story) a window to a spam site will pop up instead.
Tonight this spam window started popping up, I opened a new tab and this is what loaded:
Has anyone run into such a problem before or has any ideas of how to fix it? I tried re-installing safari once already and that didn't help. Thanks,
-Kate

Look in your System Preferences > Accounts > Log-in Items and uncheck anything you see there that you don't use. Reboot.
Use Spotlight or EasyFind to search for traces of the MacDefender Trojan and move to your Trash, reboot and see if your machine works and then Empty Trash.
Some people may be satisfied that this is enough, but I wouldn't take any chances if you gave the malware/installer your Admin password.
The next step would be to backup your files manually to a external drive. (not TimeMachine)
Hold c and boot off the OS X installer disk that came with your machine,
Select Disk Utility from the menu, select your drive and Erase > Security Option Zero > Format HFS+ Journaled (all data will be erased!)
Come back in a hour (it takes a bit to Zero a drive) and quit Disk Utility and install OS X fresh again. Install your programs from fresh sources.
Return your files from backup.
Yes, it's a lot of work. If you did your backup correctly all your files can be returned to the machine and after a few days of retweaking things, entering serial numbers, wifi passwords, etc., you will be back to normal.
You'll know you got all traces of the malware off your machine.
To prevent this from reoccurring:
The MacDefender and it's varients use a Javascript flaw, so no Javascript running in your browser = no MacDefender
Safari can turn off Javascript but a lot of sites use it and going to the Preferences is a pain.
1: Use the Firefox web browser instead, it has a confirmation window before a download occurs.
2: Use the Firefox add-on "NoScript" and use Firefox toolbar customization option to drag a Noscript button to the toolbar for easy turning on/off all scripts and plug-ins on websites you choose on a per site basis. NoScript also has a lot of other "web cop" protection features as well that malware uses.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/noscript/
3: Optional: For click happy types (kids) also install the Public Fox add-on and set a password on the downloads.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/public-fox/
4: Optional: Add the Firefox add-on called Ad Block Plus, subscribe to the "Easy list" (nearly automatic)
