Most times when I want to open a document, Firefox saves it in Downloads, rather than just letting me read it. How do I prevent this?

In earlier versions of Firefox, I was able to open a document e.g. an email attachment or a document following a link in a website, and then decide if I wanted to save it or just read it. Now more often than not, it automatically saves it to Downloads, though not every time. The choices in Settings/General relate only to choosing which folder to save them in, and not to opt not to save at all. By way of example, I went to www.overseal.org, then chose Documents and Budget 2013-2014.
This means that nothing appears to happen on screen, and to view the document, I have to go to Downloads, and subsequently delete it from there if I don't want to keep it. Can I change a setting somewhere to revert to previous practice please?

I created a PDF of my book in Preview and encrypted it. When opened in Adobe Reader, it is rotated to the vertical position rather than the original landscape position. How do I fix this in Preview? I don't want my buyers to have to hassle with rotating.

I created a PDF of my book in Preview and encrypted it. When opened in Adobe Reader, it is rotated to the vertical position rather than the original landscape position. How do I fix this in Preview? I don’t want to hassle my buyers with rotating. There was no option in Preview to account for this automatic and unwanted rotation.

Then you rotate it and SAVE or SAVE AS and it will remain that way.

HT5219 When I close the lid on my MacBook Pro the print on the thunderbolt display gets very small & hard to read. How do I prevent this?

When I close the lid on my MacBook Pro the print on thunderbolt screen is very small & hard to read. If i keep the lid open on the MacBook Pro the print is big and easy to read. How do I prevent this from happening?

Hi JanStran,
You may need to check your Display settings and/or resolution.
The article below explains how to used Clamshell mode "closed display" on your Macbook Pro, versus "mirroring."

some sites that use flash (or other issues) dont want you trying to view the site in your browser on an ios device, because they know it will not be a good experience - they detect your device, and if it is an ios device they want you to use their app instead of your browser.

I have set up two users, one for myself and one for children. The computer automatically logs in for the children with no password required. When the children go to spotlight and type in a search criteria all of my files show up. How do I prevent this?

Log in to your account, and move all your files to your home folder. No other users should be able to access them there and they won't show up with a Spotlight search.
Make sure your kids' account(s) do not have admin privileges.

I ran un update to iPhoto as instructed but when done I had no Event Pictures to the right of my Albums..just Palm Trees...how can I fix this?

I updated an old IPhoto library to work with the lastest Iphoto update as instructed. I lost all my "Event Pictures" and have just Palm Tree graphics? What to do?
How do I redo this? What went wrong..can I chnage a setting? This library is on an External drive. Here is path.. Usres/Jeff H Dubiel, desktop/iphoto Library (original)/restored Files 2 copy/Mac HD/users/Jeff H Dubiel/Pictures/IPhoto Library(original).. 71 GB 14,000 photo's,352 events..not sure how accurate that is with duplicates etc. Also all updates installed.
Also on another Library I need updated it "hangs" if I try to update it. Can I use earlier Iphoto versions somehow on these?
Thanks

Lion Installed 10.7.3

Most Simple Back Up
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex:
Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically. Examples of such apps: Chronosync or DejaVu . But are many others. Search on MacUpdate
Note:
hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto.
If you're getting the options you refer to you're not holding the command key as well.

Fox4 says that it PREVENTs the user from having two tabs open to the same URL. There are times when I WANT multiple open tabs! Can I override this? (Please tell me. If I can't, then I don't want Fox4. I'll stick with 3.x and NoScript.) Thanks.

Tell me EXACTLY how to FORCE Fox4 to allow me to have MORE THAN ONE tab open to any given web page.
Otherwise, I have to stick with Fox3.
Precise details, please. Thanks.

# Open a new tab - Ctrl + t
# Start typing the URL in the awesome bar. The page should displayed in the list below with "Swtich to Tab" written under it
# Scroll down to the URL in the list using the down arrow key and hit Alt + Enter.
The webpage is opened a second time instead of simply switching to it. Simple.

I have email on my phone as well as PC. Thunderbird gives me an error message most times when I want to get mail that acct is locked by another session.

The full message is
"Sending of password did not succeed. Mail server pop-server.roadrunner.com responded: [IN-USE] account is locked by another session or for maintenance, try again."
Then I get
"Login to server pop-server.roadrunner.com failed."
When I enter the correct password as requested I get the same messages again.
The email accounts are active, both through MyMail and the webserver site for Roadrunner.
Any suggestions?
This started after I started using MyMail app for Android. When I re-enter

Turn off your phone. Then figure out how to keep it from causing problems.

Try rebooting the iPad one more time. Try using recovery mode again and if that still doesn't work, make an appointment at an Apple Store and ask for their help.

When I open a browser, Firefox checks for add ons and goes to a Firfox page. How do I disable this? I want the browser to open with a blank page.

I have uninstalled v5 and reinstalled v3.03 and now it still goes to a Firefox page. How do I open a browser with a blank page?

After I upgraded to Mavericks I was also having this message when I tried to update. There was a previous post about this problem which offered this simple solution which worked for me:

Got it! Thanx. What I did was go to my account, check that they had my new ID and Password which they did, then hit reset button. All fixed.

When I try to open PDF files in my computer, it tells me that my PDF previewer has malfunctioned, how do I correct this situation.

Recently my computer won't allow me to open PDFs. After looking into the situation, I'm being informed that my PDF previewer is not responding.

Delete and redownload it if doing so is free in your country.

I'm opening a garageband file on a different computer than the one it was made on, and my drum loops are playing as low pitched beeps instead of the jazzy brushes I want. I believe my version is more up-to-date than what I used first. How can I fix this?

I believe I said it all in the question...

Could it be that you had more instruments on the old computer? Or haven't correctly installed the instruments on the new one?
Obviously, GB hasn't assigned a drum instrument to the track that the drum notes are on (my guess: since it doesn't have the desired drum set.) Press cmd-I to make the track info pane visible and pick one of the drum sets for that track.
