I save my iTunes songs on an external hard drive, not on my mac. Everytime I play a song, it rearranges it in my external Hard Drive and sometimes renames it. How do I get that to stop?

Please help!

ITunes' default behavior is to copy items to the place you have designated for media storage, arrange it in artist and album folders and rename the file accordingly. You can disable this in iTunes preferences > Advanced but there may be consequences in doing this. if you get any broken links iTunes will not offer to find them for you. Moving your media to another drive in the future may be complicated and possibly involve losing some track information.

I have my iTunes library between an external hard drive and my PC. How do I get all of it onto the PC? When I consolidate it leaves the songs on the external drive.

My iTunes library is split between an external hard drive and my PC. How do I get all the songs onto my PC? When I consolidate, it brings the names of the songs to the PC but they are empty files.

Hold down the "option" + "command" keys and launch iPhoto.
Select the "Rebuild Thumbnails" choice.

This can be caused by Facebook gadgets. You can try removing Facebook gadgets until you find the culprit. I have seen reports of various gadgets causing this such as Ginga, Facebook for iGoogle, Deal of the Day and Smiley

There are 4 Rs you can try:

I have Windows 7 and Firefox 3.6.1, when I am typing text such as email when I hit the shift key and certain letters it activates the shortcut keys and is very annoying how do I get this to stop?

This has happened multiple times. While typing email and also in forums. This is a new computer with Windows 7 so not sure if problem is something in Windows or with Firefox. Sometimes when I hit Shift and t a new tab will open, or shift and w will cause a pop up to come asking if I want to navigate away from this window. I have had other things pop up as well but not sure what they were or what keys I hit that caused them to show up. It tends to happen as I am typing faster. But when this happens, such as the shift t thing, I will close the tab and go back to what I was typing. Watching carefully that i am not hitting the ctrl key I hit shift t and the new tab will pop up again. The only way to get this to stop is to hit the esc key then I am able to to type fine again until it starts again. Once I was typing and my entire text highlighted and disappeared and I lost everything, so yes it can be extremely annoying. Hopefully someone can help me to solve this problem.

Yes, I have rebooted the computer several times. Logged off for the night and login this morning.
It still is happening.
It happens when I type a message in yahoo; when I login to yahoo, both trading platforms and several other applications.
After a while it stops - don't know if there is a key I strike that deactivates what every it is that is making the the keys perform the shortcut function. Sometimes by hitting ESC more than 4 times but less than 10 seems to stop it (or so it appears as the next time I type a msg in Yahoo mail the keys don't activate the toolbar "edit" function. Sometimes striking the backspace key over and over again when there is nothing to delete appears to stop it from happening.
Anymore suggestions? Greatly appreciated. Tired of retyping 3 or more times. Have gotten to the point where I type in word or notepad and paste my username and password into the appropriate areas or into the message area.
Will capture image next time.

I updated my iphone and everything disappeared. How can I get that back?

You should be syncing your contacts/calendars to your computer regularly ( Outlook for example).
Sync them back.

EVERYTHING on your iphone should always be on your computer as well and included in your regular backup copy of your computer.

I want to open new tabs with other ones open. So I click the + button for tabs and it does nothing. I right click and click new tab and still nothing. How do I get that feature to work again.

I click the + button to open a new tab and it doesn't do anything, not even open a new tab. I try to right click and open a new tab and still don't work. But if I right click a link and click open in new tab it will work. How do I get to open my tabs again with the + button?

Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox 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

I wake up every day to a new open tab within Firefox that is either sponsor or fix this how can i get that to stop

I leave my pc running all night. I will have only my email tab open and when i get up in the am another tab is open and it might say "sponsor" on the tab and within the screeen it will say fix your slow problem now or a new game it wants me to down load. Its annoying . I'm ready to delete Firefox and go back to Internet exployer if it doesnt not bringing up this garage. Ive ran security checks and I dont have a virus. What is causing this new tab to appear?

Hi Davideig, the main differences you'll notice between Firefox 19 and Firefox 24 are:
* Private browsing is now window-by-window and you open a private window from the File menu instead of opening a private session from the Tools menu. More info: [[Private Browsing - Browse the web without saving information about the sites you visit]].
* Page content is automatically zoomed to your Windows zoom level (this is especially noticeable on Windows 8 where Windows comes set to 125% instead of 100%, but could affect you if you changed the default setting). If that makes content too big, check out this article: [[Webpages are large and blurry after updating Firefox - how to fix]].
* Pages that embed insecure (HTTP) content in secure (HTTPS) pages will have a blank area and a new "shield" icon will appear to the left of the URL in the address bar. More info: [[How does content that isn't secure affect my safety?]]
* Due to a folder restructuring, some older plugins may disappear. To have Firefox continue to check the old location, see this article: [[Windows Media or other plugins stopped working after Firefox update]].

I copied a slide from a self-paced presentation to add to a click-paced presentation but it keeps auto advancing. How do I get that to stop?

So, the title says it all, I think. In the Set-up tab, the "guilty" slides show the same global choice as the others for "Presentation Type" (Normal not Self-playing). I don't see anything to click for an individual slide to stopit from auto-advancing. What to do?

Gary Scotland -- Thanks for pointing to the Animate menu as relevant!! For me that had not meant transitions from one slide to the next. You kicked where I needed to be kicked. All now works as hoped for. And, I'm smarter. Thanks.

My effects in final cut pro x apply to all clips beneath them. How do I get that to stop?

I want to put a fade in on the clips in my video, but I do not want that to apply to the background I have placed in the layer below. Yet when I put the fade on, the effect applies to the selected clip and every layer below it. How do I turn off this feature?

By fade in I assume you mean a basic Cross Dissolve transition. The best way to ensure transparency fades it to use the Opacity controls in the Video Animation editor. Select the clip you need to apply the fades to and type Control-V. The animation editor will pop up from the clip and the Opacity controls will by on the bottom of the list. Click on the little black disclosure icon on the right side which will extend the area even more. When you mouse over the left edge near the top of the area, a circle will appear. Clicking and dragging on that circle to the right will create a "ramp in" opacity. The same for the right edge to be used as a fade out.

My number keys appear with a letter in front, for example 2 appears as w2. How do I get that to stop?

OSx
Processor: 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 4GB
Only the number keys on my keyboard are malfunctioning besides the number 0. For example when I press 1 it appears as q1. When I press 2 it appears as w2.
I am not sure if I accidentally pressed something on my keyboard that has changed the functioning of my number keys. It just suddenly happened.
I've tried fidgeting with the keyboard settings in System Preferences and holding down the f6 key but nothing has worked.
PLEASE HELP!

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

I save my iTunes songs on an external hard drive, not on my mac. Everytime I play a song, it rearranges it in my external Hard Drive and sometimes renames it. How do I get that to stop?
