I'm getting redirected when I search and want to go to a site. How can i stop this?

I have done a system restore. Removed Mozilla and downloaded it again.

Do a malware check with a few malware scan programs.<br />
You need to use all programs because each detects different malware.<br />
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.

My husband and I share an Itunes account so use the same email address and password. Our iphones are now connected and we get each other's messages and share each other's contacts. How can we stop this happening?

A couple of different approached:
Create a second AppleID for one of you that includes the email address and phone number you wish to use for messaging, but do not apply it to the iTunes and app store (just keep the current one). My wife and I do this and it works quite well. Also allows for easier syncing of Contacts , notes etc. using icloud if you wish to do that.
Add additional emails/phone numbers to the existing account and change the Send/Receive settings for Messages. this will not fix the Contcts isues for you however.

Under the older iOS, when you opened a blank Safari page, Bookmarks automatically opened. However, with the newer iOS, this does not happen anymore. What iPhone and version of iOS do you have?

TS3048 When I move my mouse the screen also moves. How can I stop this?

When I move the mouse the whole screen moves. How can I stop this?

I NEED HELP!
I am using Mac OS X 10.5.8
Screen moves around with moving the mouse, I have checked here that turning off Zoom from the Universal Access and Keyboard & Mouse panes of System Preferences would sort out the problem BUT my 'System Preferences' does not work, when I try to open it: nothing comes up. Please someone may advise if there is any keyboard commands to sort the screen moving issue.
(I know I need an upgrade, but there is massive data, family pics, movies to be backed-up before the upgrade, and I don't really know how to)
Thanks

Since updating to V10.9.4, I'm getting copies of the emails I send. I use gmail. How can I stop this?

Since updating to the latest version of Mavericks, I am getting copies of all the emails I send. Very annoying. How can I change this back?

By default Gmail automatically saves a copy of your sent messages. Gmail also is a non standard IMAP and for years we have had workarounds to make Gmail IMAP work in our email clients. Apple has included it's own fixes in Mavericks Mail. If you had previous workarounds this will now conflict with Mail.
I wrote about my experiences with setting up Gmail in Mavericks Mail here. I describe how you need to reset Gmail in your browser and in Mail.

I annot open my Itunes library ever since installing the latest version of Itunes today. I get an error "R6034." How can I fix this problem?

Hello Steven.
First and foremost, I have to remind you that the version of Firefox you are using at the moment has been discontinued and is no longer supported. On top of this, it has known unpatched bugs and security problems. I urge you to update to the latest version of Firefox, for maximum security, stability, performance and usability. You can get it for free, as always, at [http://www.getfirefox.com getfirefox.com].
In any case, and since you seem to be in the process of updating (you should have done so a while ago, since Firefox 2.0 has been discontinued years ago, I believe), your problems may exist because you may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
If the problem is not disappears when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.

Are you syncing your phone with iTunes and then with iCloud? This can cause duplicates. Sync with one or the other, but not both.

My husband and I share an iCloud account and want to see eachothers calendars. How can we do this?

I want to sync calendars with another iPhone that shares the same account how do I do this?

If you share the same iCloud account any data you sync with the account (contacts, calendars, etc.) will be merged and appear on both phones, not just the calendar. If you still want to do this, all you have to do is go to Settings>iCloud and sign into the same iCloud account as the other phone. Then turn the data you want so share (such as Calendars) to On.
You can also maintain separate iCloud accounts, and keep your contacts and other synced data separate and still share an iCloud calendar. This would also give you both 5GB of iCloud storage for your data and backups rather than sharing the same 5GB of storage, and is the preferred method for most people. If you would rather do this, set up a new iCloud account in Settings>iCloud, the share your iCloud calendar as described here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a8694.

When I open Firefox my homepage comes up (good!) but often a second page/tab comes up with an annoying ad. My pop-up blocker is enabled and there are no exceptions listed. How can I stop this?

I recently had a virus attack and have cleared them with Malwarebytes Anti-malware. This problem didn't happen before the attack. In addition to happening when I open Firefox, occasionally an unwanted ad will pop-up in a new tab while using Firefox.

Firefox can store multiple home pages, check to make sure that the ad site is not listed as a home page. See [[how to set the home page]] for details.
You should run a scan with some other scanners to ensure that malwarebytes did not miss any. Some scanners you can try are:

I just tried the 'group tabs' function but when I close a window and open a new one, the last page I viewed opens every single time. I can't remove or ignore the group tabs function and it automatically opens with it. How can I stop this?

Before I attempted using the 'groups tab' function for the first time, there was no icon (unlike currently). There is now the icon with for the function yet I am unable to remove it or its function.

Try a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder and desktop shortcut before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 23.0: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
*(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
*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.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
