Thanks for responding....but isn't your potential solution designed for Windows users? I have a Mac.
If it does apply to Mac, I am also hoping for something simpler as this could take weeks to isolate the problem and it would be more efficient to use another browser for mail
Also, I should have added, this problem occurs only occasionally and seemingly only when I am taking some time to compose a message

IPhoto 11 has stopped responding. I had been working on a large slideshow for a week now and all was great when the slideshow froze when I tried to add another image. To shut it down I had to force quit. When I have tried to re-open IPhoto starts to launch but the rainbow icon just keeps going round and I have to force quit to get out of the programm. I cannot access any of the files in IPhoto and it wil not open. Any suggestions??? I would really want to save my images in IPhoto if at all possible as I do not have them stored anywher elese. Any help would be very apprreciated.
Remember: you always need a back up for any important data on your computer. Always.
Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
What's the plist file?
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.
If that fails
Option 1
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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

I am assuming the plugin that the Firefox message is referring to is for attaching a file to the email. I say this because at the bottom of a new email it has a link that says "Attach files more easily" which, when you click it, takes you to a setup process where you download an att updater. I ran that and it did seem to change anything. I am wondering if there is anything I can do to make Firefox handle this page without having to restart in 32-bit mode every time.
That means that you need to run Firefox in 32 bit mode if you want to use that plugin.
# Close Firefox
# Open the Applications folder in Finder
# Right click or control-click the Firefox.app icon
# Select "Get Info"
# Select "Open in 32-bit mode"
# Close the "Firefox Info" window
# Restart Firefox -
Change slideshow out of my library, I have to start all over again
I have a lot of thumbernails slideshows on my website. (+90)
see for example this page on my site: Crimac LC 410
I made a new slideshow-type and i put it in my library.
I want to change every slideshow (+90 pcs) only it is not done in 1 click...
I have to start complete over again, i drop the new slideshow and then i have to search all the picture's again, it cost me a lot of time to do so.
Is there another way to make this work faster?Turn off the Firewall in System Preferences > Security (or Securtiy & Privacy) > Firewall
If you have anti virus software installed, you may need to disable that before downloading.
Restart your Mac and try again. -
Brand new iPhone 4S Verizon. Using AOL. Works (or at least did yesterday) from iPad 2.
I am having a similar issue. I have a 3GS. I can receive email messages, but, cannot reply or send from my iPhone. When I try to send, I get a message: "A copy has been placed in your outbox. Sending the message content to the server failed." I have an AOL account. The last time I think I sent an email using my iPhone was around 7/4/12. I spent several hours yesterday with AT&T. They gave me the phone number for AppleCare. The technician suggested I begin with this forum before paying for a one time trouble shoot. He suggested that AOL can only be logged on to one device at a time. I logged off our PC turned off the phone. Turned the phone back on. Went to the outbox and tried to resend a test msg. I got the same error.

For example: If I open the home page of The New York Times and press Cntrl-D, the bookmark dialogue box appears but pressing "done" has no effect, the bookmark is not saved. If I go to a page with a particular article, then the bookmark function does not even appear. At first i thought this had something to do with the web site, but that isn't the problem. I just can't bookmark anything. On some pages the dialogue box appears and on others it doesn't, but the result is the same everywhere: zilch.
And here is something really strange: when i press Cntrl-D on the Firefox start page, the bookmark dialogue box appears with "Board of Education" in the page title field. What is ''that'' all about?
I have tried all manner of fixes: deleting "places.sqlite" and "localstore.rdf" files, operating in "safe mode", disabling add-ons, re-installing Firefox, etc. etc.. Nothing seems to work. I am running the latest version of Zone Alarm Security Suite. It has an advanced browser security function that includes virtualization. I tried disabling the browser security option, but this did not solve the problem, although I still suspect that Zone Alarm could be the culprit somehow (it often is). \
Any and all ideas will be welcome as I am fresh out.The problem with bookmarking (which I thought I had eliminated with a clean reinstall) has returned after a Firefox update.
Checked out /questions/743526.
A scan with Malwarebytes did not detect any malware. Not in normal mode, not in safe mode.
And look at the solutions offered by st4dog and jimcou: they each deleted different registry values to get rid of XULRunner.
My problem remains as it was: I don't want to mess with my registry unless I know ''exactly'' what I am looking for (deleting). At least my PC is running, and scans with Malwarebytes, SpyBot SD, Pest Patrol and Zone Alarm AV reveal no infections. If I screw up the registry I think I'll be in a lot worse shape.
Again, until I have ''specific'' instructions on how to get rid of this thing I guess I'll just have to be content with using IE if I want to do any bookmarking.
Thanks for the reference. I do appreciate all of your - and other user's - help in trying to solve this problem. -
So again...I have a 16G white iphone 5. It kept good time when I first got it. Then after an update to the ios about 2 weeks ago... it started to lose time at night. It's set for 10AM and doesn't go off until about 30 to 40 minutes later. It only seems to lose time at night. It doesn't matter whether it is being charged or not. I have the white iphone 5, 6.0.1 (10A525), 16G, Verizon network, Washington state. I have had Verizon coverage for aver 10 years and never had this problem before the latest upgrade to my iphone5.
I did remove the other world clocks thinking that might help but it did not.
Any suggestions?No. You have no alternative but to plug it into a computer running iTunes and restore it.

For example, go to irs.gov and try to download 1040 instructions as a PDF file. Firefox hangs up after part of the file is downloaded, but will not complete the download. The only way out is to close the browser (Firefox). Sometimes the only way out is to power down computer and reboot. I'm running Windows XP Professional. My computer has plenty of memory and disc space, so that is not the problem. When I use Internet Explorer (UGH!) it takes a while, but the very same pdf file will completely download.

This is a recurring but not constant problem I encounter while running Firefox 4.0 on my MacBook OSX10.6.7. The Menu bar across the very top of the screen will be visible, but none of the menus will work if I click on them (File, Edit, View, History, etc.) I have to force-quit Firefox and restart it to get it to work again.
Also, my pinned tabs have disappeared, for no apparent reason. And to be honest, this version is way slower and buggier than my old Firefox, and it's driving me nuts.Hello DRAnderson100, try to delete the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Localstore.rdf localstore.rdf] in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox profile folder] and check it again.

How to enlarge when composing an email within the Mail app?
How to zoom-in (enlarge, make look bigger) when composing an email in the Mail app?
I am not interested in changing the resolution (which I am happy with). For the most part I can just use Command and the "+" key when I cannot see something to enlarge the font, especially that of web pages. This is also valid for reading incoming emails in the Mail app, too. However, when I compose emails this functionality does not work. I know I can actually increase the font but then I have to remember to decrease it before sending it (ridiculous step which one can easily forget about). I know I can also transfer into Notes or Word but this is just extra unnecessary work.
Is there a solution to this, so that I can only rely on the Mail application?
Many thanks in advance!Howdy Lavi,
It sounds as if what you want to do can be accomplished by using the Zoom control, one of the Mac operating system's Accessibility features. Using it you can quickly and easily make content either on the entire screen or just a small window larger and easier to see without affecting how the screen resolution or how the email will look when it is sent. See this article for Accessibility features -
OS X Mavericks: Use accessibility features
This article explains how to set up Zoom in System Preferences -
OS X Mavericks: Zoom pane of Accessibility preferences
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

I've a new account on iMac. When composing an email the contact list does not show up on the bar, which would allow me to select the persons I want to include on the distribution of the email. When I start keying in a name in the email, it comes up with the person's address, which shows it is synced. How do I engage the contact list from the email like I do on my old account (where a contact list icon shows up, along with the "attach" and other icons) ?
With the New Message window open, go to the View menu and select "Customize Toolbar...".
In the screen that opens, drag the item labelled "Address" into the Toolbar area of the New Message window, then click the "Done" button.
That item should be then added to the Toolbar for the New Message window.
Note that the main Mail window and the New Message window (as well as the separate message window if you open a message that way) use different toolbars - the settings/inclusions for one do not carry over to another. -
On Windows when composing an email, I would often highlight a word or sentence in yellow. I don't seem to have this option on my Mac Book Air toolbar as I did when I had on my laptop. How can I add this feature to my toolbar? I don't want to change the font color, just want to highlight a word within the email.

You may or may not be able to do this based on which e-mail client or webmail platform you're using. In your email options, you'll want to have the option to paste it as rich-text or HTML. If you only have the option for plain text then you're out of luck. -
My mail, when reading an email, has an icon which is like a box with an arrow pointing down into it, what is it for?
When I tap it my email goes "somewhere" out of my inbox. The email, which was moved from my inbox still apperars in "ALL Mail" mailbox.That is the "Move" the email icon. Tap on that icon and you can move the email to any box or folder that is in black type on the left side of the window - under the Mailboxes heading. If the type is in grey on the left side - that box or folder is not an option that you can use.

I have an iMac. It is running iPhoto 11. The computer has 2 users. I cannot exit the iPhoto slideshow on one of the user accounts. This account has 25000 photos. Any suggests, only way out is to currently to turn off computer
youy probably will have to force quit - wait long enough that you are sure no disk activity is taking place - if launching iPhoto does not work after the force quit Back up your iPhoto library, Depress the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library

(Mountain Lion) suddenly the screen turns black, and I have to use the on/off switch to turn it on. And, the screen turns to zoom, and the only way to return to normal is to close the window and start all over again?
Does the screen go black while you are using the machine? ...or after it has sat idle for a bit?
If it happens while you're using the machine, check to see if a hot corner has been set for sleep. You can do that here: System Preferences > Desktop & Screen Saver > Screen Saver and click the button labelled "Hot Corners..." in the lower right.
If it happens after a bit of idle time, that's normal sleep behavior. The delay can be adjusyed here: System Preferences > Energy Saver.
In either case, pressing any key on the keyboard should bring it out of sleep.
Re zooming -
If this happens while in Safari, and you are using an Apple Magic Mouse, a default setting applicable to it is that a soft double-tap on the mouse will zoom the Safari window. A second double-tap will bring it back.
If it is the entire screen that is zooming, Control plus scroll gesture on the mouse will zoom the whole screen. Repeat with the opposite scroll gesture to bring it back.
