Hi Lang, Welcome to Apple Discussions.
What, you do not like pink?
Seriously though, have you tried resetting PRAM?

    how can i fix this ?

    Copy the music currently on your iPod to your new iTunes library first.  See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different ways to do this.

  • MY SECURITY PROGRAM INFORMED ME MY FLASH PLAYER HAS A TROJAN - HOW CAN I FIX THIS?

    I have been using my flash player over the weekend to watch movies on line.  I signed on my computer today and my security program states my flash player is infected with a Trojan.  How do I fix this - delete the program entirely or can I pick the Trojan out of it and delete it? Any assistance is greatly appreciated.  Thank you

    I would recommend both running an up to date virus scanner and then a separate malware scanner (I use www.malwarebytes.org).  Once all items have been cleaned, please make sure you download Flash Player from only an official adobe.com website (such as http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer).
    Thanks,

  • My left mouse click randomly quits on both my iMac mouse and my wacom tablet.  How can I fix this?

    Throughout the day the left mouse click quits.  I can right click with my mouse but not left click.  It happens on my wacom mouse, the pen mouse AND my iMac mouse that was bought with the computer.  Restarting or completely shutting down the computer does not get it to reboot. It will come back randomly too.  It's so odd and I do not have an explination why this is happening. 
    I've looked for software updates but can not find any on the apple site OR wacom site.
    Please help?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    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(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)

  • On login to my Macbook and imac, TextEdit opens instead of Firefox. How can I fix it?

    I have an alias on my deck of Firefox. I have selected "Open at Login". But when I start either my iMac or my MacBook, login textedit opens instead of Firefox. Firefox does not open unless I click o the icon in the dock. When I click on the TextEdit icon in the dock, it says it is the alias for Firefox. But when I ask the TextEdit alias to "Show [its application] in Finder", I find TextEdit, not Firefox. I'm thinking it has to be some plugin causing this. Any suggestions?

    Right click a blank part of the Tab bar and then click "Tabs on top" to remove the checkmark. Tabs will subsequently reappear below the location bar.
    Other things you can do:<br><br>
    * Repeat the same steps, but click the top one called "Menu bar". This will reinstate the text links at the top.<br><br>
    * To rearrange the layout, repeat the same steps again and choose "Customize". A panel will open and while that remains onscreen, you can move elements like toolbars, buttons etc around and place them anywhere you wish. You can also drag anything you don't like into that panel and add anything you want by dragging it out of there.<br><br>
    * To replace the status bar at the foot of the page, install this add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/status-4-evar/<br><br>

  • Firefox opens a blank pink screen nothing else, how can I fix this?

    When I open my firefox browser all I get is a blank pink screen and nothing else. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it several times and nothing works. What can I do to fix it?

    Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
    You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
    * [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx Microsoft Safety Scanner]
    * [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]
    * [http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit Utility]
    * [http://www.surfright.nl/en/hitmanpro/ Hitman Pro]
    * [http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner/ ESET Online Scanner]
    [http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.
    Further information can be found in the [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]] article.

  • My iPhone 4s won't connect to my MacBook, but will show up in my iTunes when connected. How can I fix this?

    When I first got my iPhone 4s and was setting it up, it added all the photos that were on my MacBook. I want to take these photos off, but the only way to do that is to go through the iPhone on my laptop. But, when I connect my iPhone via USB my phone shows up in iTunes, but not on my computer. Not as a desktop icon or as an external drive. Please help me figure this out!! I really need to put these photos back on my computer and get them off my phone. Thank you to anyone that can help!!

    Rome,
    I would try everything that "Diesel" has suggested !!!
    I had the same problem after updating to iOS 5.1. I was never able to fix it. I did however find a work around and that was to delete the offending Wi-Fi configuration and then under "Other" manually add back my Wi-Fi connection. This solved the auto re-connect problem. I don't think this is a fix but a pretty darn good work-around.
    I talked to Apple about this problem while arranging for a replacement phone (for another problem) and the Technician seemed to be aware of this quirk and suggested that my fix was about the best I could expect.
    HOWEVER - when I received my replacement phone not only did the problem that I exchanged the phone for now function correctly but the "Auto-reconnect" of the Wi-Fi worked as expected and as it did prior to the iOS 5.1 update.
    Go-Figure !!!

  • Firefox 4 screwed up, I returned to earlir version & error message re Chrom comes up 8 times now when starting Firefox. how can I fix?

    Firefox 4 lost my bookmarks sidebar, started my home page with Yahoo finance in a strange place on Yahoo and generally gave me fits. I ran the install on an earlier version of Firefox which works great after I click on an error message eight times to get Firefox to start. The error box said Chrome Registration Failed the text in the box said "Firefox could not install this item because of Chrome Registration. Please contact the author about this problem." I felt comfortable with version 3.8??? and Firefox 4 isn't comfortable for me and now the earlier version is messed up. How do I get back into my comfort zone. My computer experience started with Heath Disk Operating System, CPM, Windows 1 through 7. I don't like Firefox 4 or Chrome internet browsers. Windows IE caused problems early on with virus and male ware.

    Is it still showing up in your ad-on manager?

  • My home button only works occasionally when the iPod is llocked, and not at all when unlocked. How can I fix this?

    I just got this iPod 36 hours ago, and it is already broken. I'm really frustrated because this is the fifth time a replacement device has broken right out of the box, and I have to reboot to switch between apps. once i get in an app, I'm stuck there. I think it's a software issue, because the home button works inconsistently when the device is locked. Please help ASAP!

    Hello,
    I am currently an owner of an Ipod Touch 4th generation. I see you are having problems with your Ipod Touch, so I will try to find a solution to your problem.
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10sec. or until Apple logo appears (Nothing will be lost, this is just a "Hard Reset")
    Hope that helps!
    If none of the above solutions work, can you please respond back ASAP as I will try to find another solution to your problem (This might even help others with the same problem!)
    Cheers!

  • Previous history items in the Google search box don't open when clicked. How can I fix this please? Thanks.

    With the Google search box installed with Firefox 4.01, when I open the drop down list of previous searches and click on on to access a previous search topic instead of opening that site, nothing happens.

    So, you do not see any fonts bold that shouldn't be bold?
    What are your current default font settings?
    If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" as a (too) high value can cause issues.
    *Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
    Make sure that you allow websites to choose their fonts.
    *Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Changing+fonts+and+colors
    It is better not to increase the minimum font size in case you need a larger font, but use an extension to set the default page zoom to prevent issues with overlapping text.

  • How can I fix red flashing tint in new iMovie?

    I imported a .mov file into the new imovie version and now I am getting a red flashing tint....how can i fix this??

    dasacom,
    In addition to what imagecollection said, the Live Rectangle bug is limited to the MAC versions starting with 10.7 and 10.8, but not 10.9 (Mavericks) or 10.10 (Yosemite). Hopefully, the bug will be fixed soon.
    So a switch to Mavericks or Yosemite with a reinstallation might be the way to solve it here and now.
    To get round it in each case, it is possible to Expand the Live Rectangles to get normal old fashioned rectangles, or to Pathfinder>Unite, or to use the Scale Tool or the Free Transform Tool.
    A more permanent way round that is to create normal old fashioned rectangles, after running the free script created by Pawel, see this thread with download link:

  • I've got a 15" white macbook which I bought about 2 years ago. It froze the other day and wouldn't respond so I shut it down. When I turn it on now it comes up with a flashing file with a question mark on it. How can I fix it?

    I've got a 15" white macbook which I bought about 2 years ago. It froze the other day and wouldn't respond so I shut it down. When I turn it on now it comes up with a flashing file with a question mark on it. How can I fix it? I've tried a few things i've seen online but the futhest ive got is to put the start up disk in when you makes it go to a grey screen with an apple logo and the spinning wheel which then stops spinning. Can anybody help?

    That folder with the question mark icon means that the MacBook can't find the boot directory. That can either mean it can't find the hard drive or the Operating System data on the hard drive is somehow corrupted.
    Put your install DVD into the optical drive and reboot. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option key until the Install Disk shows up). That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
    When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Just press the Return key on your keyboard once.It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. When it comes up is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
    If it is then click on the Mac OS partition of your hard drive in the left handlist. Then select the First Aid Tab and run Repair Disk. The Repair Disk button won't be available until you've clicked on the Mac OS partition on your hard drive. If that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions.
    If your hard drive isn’t recognized in Disk Utility then your hard drive is probably dead.
