Hi, Hugo,
In similar cases it helped to remove the GarageBand "Preferences" file from the User Library.
Open the folder
your home folder > Library > Preferences
and move the file "com.apple.garageband.plist" to the Desktop.
Then try again to launch GarageBand.

I just downloaded firefox onto my mac and it keeps asking me to add the same website.

So i just downloaded firefox onto my computer and followed all the interactions to get it working. Well apparently i can't open any webiste because it keeps asking me to add the same website over and over again. it will even be the same "secure website", ill add it and nothing will happen expect it will keep asking me to add it. Ive tried fixing preferences but i don't understand why it's not working my other internet source is working just fine.

What link, website? Firefox should not do that. Did you get FF from '''Mozilla.org?'''
It could be the work of one of your add-ons, or even add / mal-ware.
Look thru your add-ons list and make sure you know what each one is
there for. Also, check the programs that are on your computer
'''Windows > Start > Control Panel > Uninstall Programs.'''
'''(Mac: Open the "Applications" folder)'''
Go thru the list and use a web search to check any that you don't
know what they are.

My iPhone 4a keep telling to plug it in to iTunes and restore it I do that and then the next day it ask me to do the same thing what is the problem? I need and trouble shoot or some type of solution for this problem.

If you have restored as new and the device continues to go into restore mode, then it appears you need to make an appointment at the Genius bar as there could be a hardware issue with your device.
One last question, the phone has not been hacked/jailbroken, has it?

I need inDesign6 but have indesign cc downloaded, is it the same thing?

I have a book file that I need to export into an epub.

Synching has nothing to do with the version you use. Synchronizing would change formatting and if the styles are defined different it could result in a mess.
What you have to do is to update all numbers and links, which has to be done regardless of the version anyway before any output. And you have to check if the cross references are alive. I would open all documents of the book, but this has nothing to do with synch neither. This process would not be different in CS6, CC or CC2014. (Take care that you use CC2014, not CC!)
Use CC2014 as it has improved EPUB export capabilites, which are not available in CS6.
I would also recommend to redefine all Table of Content styles to activate the option to to add bookmarks and actualize all TOCs, this would help in the EPUB process.

My iPhone 4 refuses to save pictures and at some instances, delete my existing pictures. I take a picture, and then go to camera roll and look, but it doesn't show up. The same thing happens when I try to screenshot things; it won't save.

My iPhone 4 is severely making me mad. It won't save any pictures I take. I will take the picture, then go to view it in the Camera Roll, and it just won't be there. The same thing occurs when screen shotting things on my iPhone. Some times it won't even let me delete the existing pictures I had on my phone before this all happened. I will click delelte, then it will pause, and eventually close me out of the photos app. However, when I go to settings, it says I have 440MB of pictures on here somewhere. But I can oly see 3 pictures in the camera roll. Also, it says in the camera roll app that it is 'Restoring...' then just sits and loads and won't restore anything at all. HELP ME PLEASE. I have iOS 7.1 currently installed.

Have you Tried Clearing the The Cache in the Camera or Gallery in your Applications Area.. Go to Settings--> Applications--> Manage Applications--> Select All--> Clear the Cache in Both the Camera & Gallery Clearing the Data however might Clear you Pictures in your Gallery but if your Ok with it Give it a Shot,

The solution is to delete /Library/Printers/hp/Frameworks/HPSmartX.framework and re-install the HP package once.

HT6030 My macbook keeps asking me to download the same updates

My Macbook updated to Maverick and all the other random updates started to follow. I have currently seemed to hit a setback. For the past three days iphoto and imovie have been trying to update but never seem to get close to finishing. Oddly I can install a new app or download a third party app without waiting for days. I deleted both updates in progress so they could restart the process but it is still slow. Also the update to gmail for maverick has installed twice already. A third installation is waiting to install according to the app store. Should there be three?

Lynne130,
to figure out which users have administrative privileges, open the Users & Groups pane of System Preferences; each user other than the Guest User will be shown with a description of either “Admin” or “Standard”. It’s typical for the first user created on a Mac to be an administrative user.

Keeps asking to open/save the same Adobe Reader X installer file everytime at startup

Tried to update Reader X after Plug-in checker found installed version out of date. Encountered "Download Configuration Failed" error after downloading and executing installer (turns out effing Adobe has known about this problem since mid July but has chosen to continue with providing this installer on their download site). Following Adobe Support instructions, uninstalled Reader and tried again but without success. Finally found another link on Adobe Support for another installer which worked.
However, now when I start up Firefox, a pop-up will appear saying that "You have chosen to open "install_reader10_en_air_mssd_aih.exe" ... would you like to save this file?" (the same bad installer file) even though I have saved it a few times already to try to get rid of the pop-up. This happens at EVERY start-up.

Try using a different web browser. I was having this same problem when I was using Firefox, but then tried it in Opera and it worked like it was supposed to. I guess Adobe was in too much of a rush to release another product that they neglected to make sure it worked...They would get an 'F' in a software engineering course.

When opening a VI, it keeps asking me to locate the same VI.

I have been given a couple of VI's and several subVI's to modify. When I try opening the VI's I get a prompt to "Please find the VI named ..." asking for the same VI over and over again. This continues until I hit cancel, in which case the VI does not open at all. Please help me diagnose/resolve this. Thanks.

benoit,
I have seen your post on other questions and understand that you have a problem which has not been resolved. However, it is not clear that the problem which artoon is having is the same problem which you are having. I understand your frustration as I have been victim of corrupted files in the past due to crashes, but this forum is not designed for you to vent your frustrations. This forum is made up of people like you who are LabVIEW programmers and are willing to take a little time out of their busy schedule to help out a fellow programmer. Unfortunately some questions do not have an easy answer. Please allow artoon to answer these questions for himself so that we can see if he is having the same problem as you are.

IPhoto keeps asking me to confirm the same faces.

This is a strange one.
Every time I goto faces I see the same faces from the same 26 photos asking to be identified. Every time I confirm them with the relevant people and then continue onto faces.
I close iPhoto properly with no crashes and then when I load iPhoto for the next time I am presented with the same problem.

Let me add my voice. Same problem here, but some 1600 faces. Every time I finish identifying quite a number of them and come back later to go ahead with the identification, I see the same faces again. I am not amused.

My ipod touch says "activation required, connect to itunes" i restore it on my itunes and it seems to be working, after i tried connecting to my wifi but no luck, i reset it and the same thing happens all over again. Help!

my ipod touch says "activation required, Connect to itunes" i restored it with on my itunes and it seems to be working again, after i tried connecting to my wifi with no luck i reset it, and again it pops back "activation required, connect to itunes" i restored again, its a non ending cycle, and it makes no sense having my ipod and i cannot connect to the internet with it, can someone please help with this issue?

Maybe here:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
Next would be to make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

The App Store version sometimes gives problems. As you can't install 10.8.4 from the App Store, download and install the Combo edition > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1659?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US This edition will work and will update OS X to the most recent version, in that case, 10.8.4

I keep updating my software but it keeps asking me to update the same things
