I'm not sure if this is a Firefox issue, but in the last week or so, whenever I do a search on Google or Bing, when I click on one of the results, I get redirected to a site like Tazinga!, instead of taking me to my destination.

For example, I did a search on Google for :
"resume have summary and objective - Google Search"
It returned several options. I clicked on :
"Summary and Objective statements | Magic Pot of Jobs (http://www.magicpotofjobs.com/2005/07/30/summary-and-objective-statements/)
And instead ended up at:
http://www.gimmeanswers.net/search/v5_1/searchabc.php?search=Resume+Have+Summary+And+Objective&affiliate=mx1-33371
This has been occurring with almost every search I do.

Do a malware check with some malware scan programs. 
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.

I am not sure if this is a Firefox issue or Yahoo, but I am trying to transfer a picture from an obit to a Yahoo group and I can't get it to move over, it either comes up with a url or logo words. Am I missing something?

I am not sure which issue this falls under. I am posting obits to a yahoo group and when there is a picture or flag it won't transfer over. I am not sure what to do to correct this.

Nope, though it did allow me to get some missing songs back onto my iPod. That's something. But neither "Back in Black" or "Dirty Deeds" show up anywhere on the Touch. Could this be because iTunes has no deal with AC/DC?
Quite frankly, at this point, I'd really rather not have the "ease of use" of iCloud attached to the iPod. It's not like I change my playlists that much. It would just be nice to get what I want onto my MP3 player. Not sure which one it was: iCloud, Music Match or the Air Port but the only real result of all the $ I plunked down is seeing all of my Wife's 231 Christmas songs popping up on my laptop. Really don't want them here. She SURE AS **** is sick of seeing all of my stuff on her computer.
Thanks again.

After recently updating my copy of iPhoto to 9.5.1 I can no longer access my projects; I can see them in the sidebar, but when I click on one of them all I get is a spinning wheel.

I recently update my iPhoto software to version 9.5.1 and since the update I have been unable to open any of my projects. I can see the project folders in the sidebar, but when I click on one of them all I get is a never ending spinning wheel. Any help wouldbe much appreciated.

Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.

Not sure if this has been mentioned before but it could be $5.49 well spent

Apparently this DAW controller works with Audition plus it runs on something which starts with the letter "i" so I guess it must be good

I am not sure that I have a working knowledge, but I will describe what I did. Please let me know if the information is meaningful. It would seem that I am experiencing some packet loss on the subject computer.
From each of three computers, the G5 (wired), the MacPro (wired), and, the MacBookPro (wireless) I pinged 3 addresses: Google, and both of the other 2 computers (50 pings). The following are the summary results (which I hope are the ones you want). I can attach full print outs, or re-ping if necessary or helpful.
I do not know how to do columns here, so in each case the numbers represent, in order, "packets transmitted, packets received, %age packet loss, round-trip min/avg/max/stddev.
1) G5 to Google
50, 47, 6% 46.810/65.077/76.104/7.880 ms
2)MacBookPro to Google
50, 49, 2%, 36.868/69.204/92.896/10.223 ms
3) MacPro to Google
50, 50, 0%, 28.928/38.789/71.833/10.814 ms
4) G5 to MacBookPro
50, 48, 4%, 1.010/1.343/5.633/0.710ms
5) G5 to MacPro
50, 44, 12%, 0.209/0.358/1.257/0.161 ms
6) MacBookPro to G5
50, 44, 12%, 1.055/3.881/28.271/5.159 ms
7) MacBookPro to MacPro
50, 47, 6% 0.977/2.809/43.888/6.253 ms
8) MacPro to G5
50, 45, 10%, 0.179/0.338/0.505/0.083 ms
9) MacPro to MacBookPro
50, 49, 2%, 1.118/2.403/8.014/1.562 ms
If the G5 is involved, the packet loss seems to be greater. Does the nature of wireless account for some loss on the MacBook Pro? The MacPro, which is wired, has no loss going to Google.
So, does this tell me anything? Thank you for trying to help. I look forward to your interpretation.

I type in the search box; suggestions appear underneath; when i click on one of them, they all disappear, and nothing is added into the search box.

When I type a phrase into the Google search window, a number of suggestions automatically appear underneath as I am typing. However, when I click on one of these suggestions, there is no change to what is in the search window, and nothing further happens. I have tried every option under Tools|Privacy, and I've tried everything on Google options but nothing works. Normally, when I click on one of the offered suggestions it would appear in full in the search window. What do I do?

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? ''A troubleshooting mode.'' 
1.You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut. 
2. Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. 
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut to open it again.''

I'm not sure if this was a firefox mozillia option or google but I use to be able to jump to selective text that i wanted to read whenever i would google

Whenever i would Google something and whatever search pages came available, I'm not sure if but i believe i would place my cursor on the preview arrow on the right of each page and the preview would be available with certain passages highlighted and i would be asked if i would like to "jump to this". I would like this feature back, it was very helpful!

Do you still see the preview if you hover the preview chevron?

Not sure if this is a code issue

Hello
I've had a fair bit of help from this and another forum to get my code working. Thanks to everyone.
Basically I've created a screensaver randomly selecting one of eight images registered as Movie Clips.
The issues that I have found are that the playing of the movie does not always work properly, ie it stops on a fade in or fade out.
The latest version I have is that if I create the swf and html file from my Virtual Machine (XP) at work the movi runs fine on my home (Vista) machine.
If I try and create these files from my home machine the test (Ctrl + Enter) freezes and also if I play the swf file that also freezes, the html file runs fine.
I had this also happen on the other way round on a previous version, things would stop on the Virtual Machine but when I copied the files to my home machine all worked fine.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
I've listed the full code below on what I am running.

Not sure if this a Time Machine issue or not... Please help!

So I updated my iMac to Snow Leopard. I went from about 186GB to about 205GB AFTER I installed SL.
Then I did my first back up in TM after the install and I noticed something funny...
The space of my Mac HD was getting smaller and smaller as the back up was going.
I have a 1TB external drive I designated for TM and this back up was there when it was finished.
Now, since doing that backup and I think one or two since, the space on my Mac HD is down to 190 or around 188.
I have NOT installed hundreds of pictures, movies. I didn't really change anything much.
I noticed this change while TM was doing its thing. I can't account for anything else that may have caused it.
I reset Safari, clear logs and caches using Terminal.
It seems like the space is still going down a little here and there even when I'm not really using Safari or anything. And I mean just a little.
But that first drop was significant! I want that space back!
Any suggestions?!
Thanks!
Robert

There's a possibility that your TM drive got disconnected at just the wrong time, and TM started putting your backups in the hidden /home directory of your internal disk.
Click here to download the +Tinker Tool+ app. It allows you to change the Finder to show hidden files (among many other things). Select the first option under Finder, then click +Relaunch Finder+ at the bottom. Reverse this when done.
Do not use any of the other options unless you know the possible consequences.
Open a Finder window to your internal HD. Look for the /Home directory. It should be zero kb, and have no contents.
If, however, it contains a folder named the same as your TM drive/partition, containing a Backups.backupdb folder, that's what's happened. Delete the folder named the same as your TM drive (it may contain many files and take a very long time).

However regardng the photo's you aren't providing any infomraiton, such as what mail tool is being used. Please provide more details and someone may be able to help you out.

What does the email say, and is it personalised (e.g. does it have your name in the email or just something like 'dear customer') ? There are regular phishing emails trying to get account and payment details.

A31p problems... not sure if this is normal

I have a thinkpad A31p which is apparently able to be upgraded to 2 gb of RAM. After upgrading the ram to one 1 gb (pc 2700) and one 512 mb (pc 2100), the graphic card seemed to act up. It only recognised 32 mb of the 64 mb on the adapter and the colours constantly would screw up unless I restarted the computer multiple times. That day I also upgraded the wireless card to an Intel 2200 BG card. I am not sure if this is a strange coincidence but in order to test out if the ram had anything to do with it. I put the 1 gb in an A31 and the same thing happened. Only 8 of the 16 mb of the graphics card are recognised and the colours are all wacky. In a somewhat related issue, I was trying to upgrade the HD of the A31p as well... I was trying t use a Hitachi Travelstar 160 GB drive. All seemed to go well for installing XPbut after installing SP2 on the machine, the drive stopped responding, almost as if the computer realised that it was a 160 GB drive and did not like it. The old 30 GB drive still worked great so I am not sure what caused that. The Hitachi drive tested fine when teasted on another computer. It is almost as if, the larger the drive gets the more the computer doesn't like it. Has anyone ever had these problems before or know of any solutions?

Welcome to the forum!
You're not going to like what I'm about to say...
GPU in your A31p has started going bad, which is a very common problem with this machine type. If you're lucky, solder re-balling or re-flowing will solve the problem. If you're not and it's the actual VRAM going haywire, you'll need a new motherboard.
Your upgrades have done aboslutely nothing to harm your ThinkPad, so don't worry about that aspect of the story.
Good luck.
Cheers,
George

Hi everyone, not sure if this is the right forum to ask this question, however any redirect is appreciated. Where can I get the download for the latest old mozilla browser. The one with the dinosaur icon before the browser turned firefox. Thanks, Jen

Phoenix and Firebird were what Firefox was called before Firefox was settled on in 2004, and both used "birds" as the logo. IIRC, the dinosaur was used in the Mozilla Suite.
Here are the earliest versions of the Mozilla Suite.

I hope this request for a historical purposes of where Mozilla came from, because those old versions aren't safe to use on the internet any longer.

Yes, there is applicable tax charged on all purchases.

Message "switch to mobile site". Not sure what this means

When I am surfing the web I keep getting a pop up that says "switch to mobile site". I'm not sure what this means since I don't have a mobile site. I am new to the Ipad so I am looking for help.

Many websites have a link at the bottom of the page that says "Mobile" or "Mobile Site" or something to that effect. If you tap on that it will take you to the version of the website that is best suited for mobile devices, iPads, iPhones, etc. The mobile sites are optimized for mobile devices and will include videos that will be viewable in iOS that were created in html5 rather than Flash which is no longer supported on mobile devices and never was supported in iOS. When you see that message look for the link somewhere on the website or just tap OK if it gives you the option to switch to the mobile version in the popup message.
Some websites have a Mobile Button that is quite visible at the top of the home page. You can see the Mobile button here under the word Events on the NFL.com home page.

I'm not sure if this is a Firefox issue, but in the last week or so, whenever I do a search on Google or Bing, when I click on one of the results, I get redirected to a site like Tazinga!, instead of taking me to my destination.
