Music purchased on ipad wont play on computer. I get a message which says that the computer is not authorised to play the track but when I enter the password I get the message saying that the computer is already authorised. I have the opposite problem transfering some but not all music from computer to ipad. Can anyone help?

Interesting. Maybe it is more of a DRM issue than an Apple ID ownership issue. There is actually an iTunes Support section here on the discussion boards. If you wish to continue troubleshooting, you might post your question over there and refer to this discussion thread. You can also contact someone in Apple iTunes Support.

When I try to open firefox, I get a message that says, "firefox is already running" and to close it or restart my computer when it is NOT running, so I can't get on the internet through firefox. What is wrong?

The information box pops up when I click on my desktop icon for firefox as well as if I try to access it in other ways. I have restarted my computer. I have tried removing firefox and redownloading it. No matter what I do, it still gives me a box saying it is already running, but not responding. When I pull up my taks bar, it is not running! I can't close it as the box suggests because it is not open to do it. I just keep getting a box saying it is already running no matter what I try to do, even though it is not running.

I have tried everything I could to fix this, but some things require actually being on Firefox, and since I cannot get on, I cannot click on the tabs to do it. I have even totally uninstalled firefox, and that has not fixed this. I still get the same message that firefox is running and I need to close it or restart (which I have also tried dozens of times). I have removed things like Java, and that has not helped either. If I cannot even get on line in firefox, how can I fix this. I am not crazy about using internet explorer, but right now, it is my only option. I even tried to start in safe mode, and the same message box pops up!

iTunes can't find your media files, which are normally located in ~/Music/iTunes. Try a Spotlight search on your computer for your media files, and move them back into that location. If you can't find your files, then try going to your backup drive, if you have one.

Whilst on holiday i downloaded pictures from my digital camera to my ipad along with video clips. they ran fine. i have just synced with my macbook and the videos have been removed with a message to say that my ipad cant play them! why?

Whilst on holiday I downloaded pictures and video from my digital camera to my ipad. everything was fine. The digital pics and video footage played great! i have just got back and synced my ipad with my macbook and the video clips have been put onto the macbook but not reinstalled on the ipad. I get a message to say that the video clips have not been loaded as the ipad cant play them! Why has this happened? As i deleted the original clips off the camera once they were originally loaded onto the ipad i have no way of reinstalling them. Wat can i do to get them back onto the ipad?

ps when syncing it jumps through steps 1 - 4 real fast, i seem to remeber iphone showing the number of tracks transferring and names, but i see nothing? then it sits on 5 saying "waiting for changes to be applied"

Since the last update, whenever I close and reopen Firefox, my default search engine changes back to Google. What's going on?

Since the last update, whenever I close and reopen Firefox, my default search engine changes back to Google. I have to manually change it back to my preferred engine. Is anyone else having this problem, and if so, how can I permanently change my search provider, instead of having to manually change it again every time I start Firefox?

You can use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
If you do not keep changes after a restart or otherwise have problems with preferences, see:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
Try to delete the search.json file and possible search-metadata.json and search.sqlite files in the Firefox profile folder to reset the search engines to the default.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Firefox will rebuild the search.json file from the default search engines in the "browser\searchplugins" folder in the Firefox program folder and the searchplugins folder in the Firefox profile folder.
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)

Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 12.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will also lose your 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.
*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 profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

Firefox will not run since it says I will have to close it first. Further I am unable to set my homepage settings to the required one by me.

My homepage switched to a website I do not wish. I am unable to get my desired homepage back by using the menu. Later on Mozilla won't even run. he message I get that it should be closed first. Whilst the program is closed.

Your User Agent shows that you have '''Ask Toolbar''' installed. Ask Toolbar has been causing many problems in the Firefox 3.6.13+ versions. So '''Remove/Uninstall''' that extension.
-> click '''Firefox''' button and click '''Exit'''
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
-> '''Start Firefox in Safe Mode''' (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes)
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
* Firefox Safe Mode window will open. DON'T SELECT ANY OPTIONS, just click '''Continue in Safe Mode'''
-> Check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there -
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons
-> Removing a Search Engine -
* https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Search%20bar#w_removing-a-search-engine
-> Now to Open the '''about:config''' page, type '''about:config''' in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the URL of a website to open a website. When you see a warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.
* Preferences that have been modified are shown as '''bold(user set)'''.
* Preferences can be '''Reset to the default''' or changed via the right-click context menu.
-> In the '''Filter bar''' at to top of the about:config page, type '''keyword.URL''' to isolate that single entry.
* Right click it and choose '''Modify''' -> Replace the text with http://www.google.com/search?q= and then click OK.
-> In the Filter bar at the top again, remove "keyword.URL" and then copy/paste '''browser.startup.homepage'''
* right-click it and choose '''Reset''' from the menu.
-> In the Filter bar at the top again, remove '''browser.startup.homepage''' and then copy/paste '''browser.search.selectedEngine'''
* right-click it and choose '''Reset''' from the menu.
-> In the Filter bar at the top again, type '''ask.com'''. This will show the remaining '''ask.com''' related preferences.
* '''Reset''' all '''ask.com''' related Preferences to their Default values.
-> Close the tab and then Restart Firefox.
Check and tell if its working.

I used to have a close tab for exiting the current site I was on instead of closing all of firefox. How do I get it back?

I used to have a close tab for exiting the current site I was on instead of closing all of firefox. It was a red box with an x in it. How do I get it back?

Click in a blank space on a toolbar & open 'customize'. You'll find that there is a gray "x" (on my browser it's gray) that is for closing a tab. Drag it up to wherever you want on the toolbar & it should work fine.

When i put firefox in offline mode, and then click on pages saved in history , it can't load any pages or any images. i put cach size to 250mb but the problem is the same, it saves history for two months, but can't load pages.

Hi there,

In general, you are correct - but also your server does need to be properly configured (and those errors above lead me to think it may not be) to serve the file types that your uploading - but it could be something else entirely. Can you zip up your composition folder, upload it to your Creative Cloud files, set it to share, and then post a link here so I can download it? If you'd rather not share it publicly, can you PM me with a link to your composition files?
Thanks,

My contacts disappeared for no apparent reason. However, all of my contacts (updated even to the last bit) in my Macbook Air are still there. How do bring my contacts back to my phone?

Hi perriejunn!
They might actually be the same Apple ID. When you have an email and use it to log into iCloud it will create an iCloud alias for you. I have an @live.no appleID, which also has an @iCloud.com alias that are otherwise identical.
If you log into applied.apple.com with the @gmail.com account you should see the @iCloud.com as an "alternate" email address.
You might also have created a new iCloud account/Apple ID when you used iCloud the first time. Then this @iCloud.com will not be connected to you @gmail.com address or any other mail addresses. You can then log out of that Apple ID at Settings>iCloud and log in with this @gmail.com Apple ID and sync contacts.
