Is there a way to prevent an account with no administrative rights to install firefox to their local profile on Windows XP?

Our users are normally not allowed to install any programs since their user accounts do not have administrative rights to their pc's. Has this been a feature in FireFox before?
We noticed that one user was able to simply download firefox, run the installation setup, and the setup would default to install firefox under their local desktop profile instead of the usual c:\Program Files folder.
ie. c:\Documents and Settings\userid\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla Firefox\
Is there a way to prevent this from happening? We do not want to allow our users to be able to install any programs without our knowledge.

The Skype add-in was the culprit in my case. Disabling it fixed the problem. As soon as I enable it, the problem comes back.

Is there a way to create itunes account with no billing infomation?

i just purchased the latest ipod touch and i plugged it into itunes for the first time and it asked me to create a new account before continuing apoon making my account. i got to the billing section and it asks me to fill it in with a credit card, i do not have a credit card and do not wish to do this. what do i do? is there any way of making an account without billing information?

Please don't use big red text. There's no need to do so - it won't be more attention and in fact may put people off of helping - and it's really difficult to read.
Adding to what JG said, you can also purchase a prepaid iTunes card, available from most grocery store and discount chains in the US and other countries, and use that. You will need to enter in your address information, but you won't need a credit card.

Is there a way to link my account with my wifes account so we don't have to pay twice?

I want to link my wifes account with mine in itunes, but not sure how. Any suggestions?

You can share accounts, so that what is available on yours will be available to your wife and vice versa.
There's a whole slew of rules, but if you're under the same roof you'll be fine.
Go to Itunes menu, choose Advanced, and Home sharing.
Good luck

When I run out of funds in my account (I always redeem I-Tune $15 or $25 prepaid cards) if additional music is purchased, they are automatically billed to my credit card. Why? Is there a way to prevent this?

Roaminggnome:
I have just found a way to do exactly what I wanted to do!
I opened I-Tunes, then clicked on the "Account" link under the heading "Quick Links".
After entering my Account ID and Password, I got the "Account Information" window.
I then clicked on the Edit link at the end of the "Payment Information" line which listed my current credit card information. This opened the "Edit Payment Information" window. On this screen, instead of selecting Visa, etc... I selected NONE and then clicked on DONE at the bottom of the screen. Just like magic, my credit card information disappeared and was replaced by "No Creidt Card on File" which is exactly what I wanted. FYI.

I have an iPad 2, and I am sending PDF file to my iPad, via a Hotmail email. But, the PDF arrives to the iPad in Mail already opended, as a picture on the bottom of the email. Is there a way to prevent it from auto open, so I can open with iBooks instead?

I have an iPad 2, and I am sending PDF files to my iPad, via a Hotmail account. But, the PDF arrives to the iPad Mail account already opened at the bottom of the email. Is there a way to prevent this auto-opening of the PDF. I've seen screen shots with the box, and PDF listed inside the box, but mine open automatically. I want to get them into iBooks...?

I am having the same problem and it is even bigger.
When opening a 1-page PDF in iBooks and sending it via mail it is sent inline as preview, but the recipient cannot open the file anymore. Also on iPad and iPhone there is no "open in" possible.
Somehow the mail app does destroy the file. What is going wrong?

Is there a way to prevent accidentally deleting pictures?

I am wondering if there is any sort of safety setting to keep from having my photos accidentally deleted? My grandson likes to look at the pictures, but I am worried that he will swipe the trash can and then delete the pictures before I can stop him. Is there any way to prevent this from happening? (besides the obvious which would be to disallow him to look at the photo albums...a sure fire way to silence him in a restaurant or church.)

You're welcome.
Here's an app that might help!

Only thing is finding a wifi spot...
OR maybe if you find the time, email ones to your personal account you want to keep before the viewing begins!
Just ideas, really.
Good lcuk!

If you are using the same user account on your computer that may be the problem. The iTunes settings will be different for each user account.

Is there a way to prevent psd from being the default file extension?

In previous versions, psd was added automatically if the document was layered. Since I don't use psd, I had to manually change to tiff.
But I'm finding that even flat (unlayered) files that came in as jpgs have psd inserted as the default. I would have thought that, by default, a file could stay whatever it started out being. (Whether jpg or tiff, flat or layered).
This happens when I "save as" even when I don't change the name of the file, only save it in a different location (such as a jpg file from a flashcard being saved to computer).
Is there a way to prevent the extra step of rejecting psd? Is there a preference or something I have missed?

Although the little camera I was using doesn't capture 16 bit, I did run the jpgs briefly through ACR to try out the shadows/highlight feature since the photos were perfect candidates. My preference there is to convert to 16 bit ProPhoto so maybe--even though the files opened as jpgs. That might be the problem: maybe bit depth is the trigger for psd assignment. Still, I wish there was a way to disable it.

Is there any way to prevent the OS from querying the Superdrive when start

Just a random question. Whenever my MacBook Pro starts up (either from sleep or a complete/fresh start, the OS queries the drive slot to see if there is a disc present. While this may be normal behavior, it seems to slow down the start up process. (I rarely ever have a disc in the drive). Just curious if this, in fact, normal, or if there's something awry.

No

How can you tell? Based on the noise it makes?

I don't want my Facebook Contacts added to my iphone Contacts as a result of this new update. Is there a way to prevent that from happening?

I've been told that when I apply the latest update issued by APPLE, it will add all my Facebook Friends into my Contacts on my iPhone. Is there a way to prevent that from happening?

Unfortunately when upgrading to iOS 6 the setting to add Facebook Contacts to your Contacts app is on by default. But once the upgrade is complete you can go to:
Settings > Facebook > and turn off Contacts.
That will get rid of the Facebook stuff showing up in your Contacts app.
BTW, I also turned off Calendar on my iPhone and iPad so that Facebook events and Friend's birthdays etc. will not show in my Calendar app.

Shot videos ONLY in landscape. For photos choose what's you like. Maybe you have to rotate photos on PC. What's your operating system?

I'm trying to add a playlist manually to my iPhone 4. It won't let me because it's trying to delete all of the music currently on my iPhone. Is there any way to prevent this from happening in order to start manually updating it?

Are you leaving the box unchecked to Manually manage music & videos? You don't need to to add anything to the iPhone.
Simply drag the playlist to the iPhone to manually add it.

HT204053 I have an iPhone 4S and when I try to add an iCloud account is gives me an error "Cannot Sign In, The maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iPhone." Is there any way to deactivate an account?

I have an iPhone 4S and when I try to add an iCloud account is gives me an error "Cannot Sign In, The maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iPhone." Is there any way to deactivate an account? I have one for myself, one for my family and one for my work. I had all three on my iphone and then I deleted my work. I wanted to get my own person @me.com account. It wouldn't let me create it from my iphone, so I created it from my Macbook Pro. I am trying to add it to my iphone, but it keeps giving me that error. If there is a way I can deactivate my work one so I can use my @me.com personal account?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately once all the 3 iCloud accounts have been created on your mobile device, you cannot create any more regardless of what you do. You will need to re-use one of the accounts that you have already created or create your new account on another device or computer.
You should however be able to add existing accounts to your device, are you sure you aren't trying to create on rather than simply use an existing one.
