MY COMPUTER CRASHED & WHEN I GOT BACK ONLINE I FOUND THAT I HAD BEEN HIGH-JACKED BY YAHOO & I WANT MOZILLA BACK. YAHOO ISN'T ON "ADD/DELETE PROGRAMS". HOW DO I KICK THEM OFF MY PC?

I was trying to download a PDF file & got steered to a "must have" download and the next thing I knew my PC went haywire & I ended up married to Yahoo! somehow and can't get rid of it. It sure made a mess of my Mozilla Firefox. The icons are still there, but when I go to open a new page it opens at Yahoo! instead of Google. I want my Firefox back & Yahoo! GONE!

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • I updated my ipod touch 5th gen to iOS 8.2 and left it but when i got back it was in recovery mode with a red iTunes logo and i plugged it into my computer to reset my ipod and it wouldn't do it what do i do?

    I updated my ipod touch 5th gen to iOS 8.2 and left it but when I got back it was in recovery mode with a red iTunes logo and I plugged it into my computer to reset my ipod and it wouldn't do it what do I do?

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Restore your library from the Time Machine backup to your Pictures folder as shown here:
    Launch iPhoto and have it will open your library.

  • As icloud when I got my iphone.I recently got an iphone. Ever since I have downloaded my iphone pictures to my photo gallery on my PC, my computer crashes when i'm in photo gallery. Any suggestions? I also downloaded itunes as well

    I recently got an iphone5. Ever since I have downloaded my iphone pictures to my photo gallery on my PC, my computer crashes when i'm in photo gallery. Any suggestions? I also downloaded itunes as well as icloud when I got my iphone5.

    No, your iPhone and your iPad should not appear in the finder.
    I'm not sure what you mean about downloading photos with iPhoto being double handling, but you can download direct to a folder with Image Capture. Image Capture can also be used to delete photos from the Camera Roll on the iPhone or iPad (preferrably after they are downloaded).
    You can remove the photos you synced from your phone with iTunes by syncing again with an empty folder, That will delete all the photos that were previously synced that way, replacing them with the contents of the empty folder (that is, nothing). This will not effect photos takes with the camera on your iPhone.

  • I'm going to quit iTunes match, all my music is online (non on my computer). When I come back to iTunes Match: will I be able to acces my music?

    I'm going to quit iTunes match for other streaming services, all my music is in the cloud (non on my computer). When I come back to iTunes Match: will I be able to acces my music?
    I'm planning to not renew my iTunes match ending soon.But when I change my mind in, say, a year, will all my music be available to me. I really don't feel like donwloading and backig up :-)
    Thank you!

    I don't know if Apple keeps a record of what music you had in the cloud. I am assuming that after the subscription lapses, after some amount of time the music in the cloud is deleted. So, after a year, if you sign up again you'll need to go through the process again.
    iTunes Match is not a backup, and if you don't pay the subscription fee Apple is under no obligation to keep the data around.

  • HT202663 each time I go to mail it asks me to join a wireless network. I choose the one I have and dont know why I dont stay connected. I took my mac book pro to vermont and joined the network at my house there, when I got back to ny I joined here but it

    my mac book pro would connect automatically to my wireless network in ny. then I went to vermont with my computer and connected to my wireless network there. when I got back to ny I changed it back to my wireless connection here but it wont stay connected. each time i go on mail it asks me to join a network. it hink i did all the right steps but it wont stay joined.

    Back up all data before making any changes.
    Step 1
    Take all the applicable steps in this support article.  
    Step 2
    If you're running OS X 10.8.4 or later, run Wireless Diagnostics and take the remedial steps suggested in the summary that appears, if any. The program also generates a large file of information about your system, which would be used by Apple Engineering in case of a support incident. Don't post the contents here.
    Step 3
    If you're not using a wireless keyboard or trackpad, disable Bluetooth by selecting Turn Bluetooth Off from the menu with the Bluetooth icon. If you don't have that menu, open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked Show Bluetooth in menu bar. Test. Continue if you find that Wi-Fi is faster with Bluetooth disabled.
    From that same menu, select Open Bluetooth Preferences. If the box labeled Discoverable is checked, uncheck it. Click the Advanced button, and in the sheet that opens, uncheck the top three boxes, if any are checked. Click OK. Enable Bluetooth and test again.
    If the application called "Bluetooth Setup Assistant" is running, quit it.
    Step 4
    This step will erase all your settings in the Network preference pane. Make a note of them before you begin, and recreate them afterwards. It may be helpful to take screenshots of the preference pane.
    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "SystemConfiguration" selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    Step 5
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    Step 6
    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.
    Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional — ask if you need guidance.
    If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.

  • My computer crashes when I try to export from iMovie. What is the problem.

    Why does my computer crash when I try to export it?

    Does it happen with different iMovie projects or does it keep doing it with the same one? Might be a corrupt movie file.
    Do you have iLife 11 on disc? If so you might try reinstalling iMovie and try it again, first without updating anything, and if that works then try updating and see if the problem comes back. It could also just be that iMovie is corrupt.

  • My computer crashed, when I try to re-sync my iPod I am having problems

    Salutations! I am hoping that somebody can assist me in re-syncronizing my iPod library to the same computer after re-building it. My computer crashed due to a problem with the wireless adapter, I had to re-image the hard drive and when I try to load my iPod library back onto the computer, I receive a message stating that it is already synched to another computer (same computer - new image). Even though the dialogue box indicates that I should be able to transfer my library from my iPod to my computer, it doesn't allow me to transfer the entire contents of my library. The only other choice I have is to erase my iPod and restore it. I don't view this option as a viable solution, can anybody offer a workaround?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Not sure how you found your way to the Safari forum, which is for Internet content and browsing, but you're best bet is to repost in the IPod for Windows forum. On this linked page, select the sub-forum specific to the type of iPod you are using.

  • I have songs on my iPhone 6 that I can't remove and when I plug into iTunes and go to "Summary" and "On This Device" the songs don't show up but they are on my phone. How do I remove them? Not even sure how they got on actually.

    I have songs on my iPhone 6 that I can't remove and when I plug into iTunes and go to "Summary" and "On This Device" the songs don't show up but they are on my phone. How do I remove them? Not even sure how they got on actually since I have a iTouch and keep all my music there. HELP!!

    Have you tried deleting the songs from Settings?
    Settings -> General -> Usage -> Manage Storage (not the iCloud link!) -> Music and then click Edit to enable you to be able to delete.

  • I have copied my iTunes library onto a new computer, but when I play back the songs there seems to be random "miss" or "drop out".  No probs with old computer, just the new one.  I'm onto my third new computer - same problem.  Any suggestions please?

    I have copied my iTunes library onto a new computer, but when I play back the songs using the new computer, there seems to be random "miss" or "drop out" during play back, similar to a small scratch on a vinyl record.  Although when I play the same song over again, the "miss" occurs in a different location during the song.  No probs with old computer, just the new one.  I'm onto my third new computer - same problem.  Any suggestions please?

    You don't say which version of iTunes you are using, but the symptoms you describe have been encountered by some users with the 64-bit version of iTunes 12.1.
    There is an alternative version for 64-bit editions of Windows here:
    iTunes 12.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards)
    that seems to address the most of the playback issues that some users have been reporting with the full 64-bit version of 12.1.0.77 - including problems with Bluetooth speakers where either sound is degraded or completely absent.  The alternative installer here is the same architecture as most previous "64-bit" versions of iTunes, i.e., a 32-bit application with a 64-bit installer.  The "for older video cards" label appears to be something of a misnomer as some people have reported that this corrects problems found on current / high-spec systems.
    Some users have reported that after installing this alternative version it is necessary to adjust the "Play audio using" selection (normally to "Direct Sound" rather than "Windows Audio Session", though this may vary based on your audio hardware/drivers) in Edit > Preferences > Playback to restore glitch-free audio (one part of the reported symptoms is that the "Direct Sound" choice isn't available, usually in Windows 8).  It may also be necessary to ensure that your Bluetooth speakers are active and selected as the default audio device before you run iTunes.
    If this doesn't address the issue, you may want to think about reverting to iTunes 12.0 - see Turingtest2's notes on Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for steps needed to completely remove all installed iTunes components, and for links to the 12.0 installers.
