My finder home window will not stay the way I set it

How do I keep my Finder window opening the way I leave it? Everytime I reboot or use folders in finder window my home view changes from icon to list or size changes. I reset it and it stays for awhile then changes to other view.

You will have to change the Home Page to the page your want to display. In order to do so, follow the steps below:
* Go to Options (i.e. \Firefox\Options\Options);
* Go to the General tab;
* Under Start-up - enter the URL in the Home Page URL box.
Also, make sure that you have chosen "Show my Home Page" under "When Firefox Starts" (use the drop down arrow).
Hope this helps!

Metadata Columns will not stay the way I order them

I have PPro CS6 and cannot get the Metadata columns or their off/on status to stay the way I want them. I've tried saving my settings to a custom name and find that using it to try and restore my settings does nothing, at least not in terms of the order I want the columns to be. Also, should the Metadata panel settings change when I change Workspaces? Am I doing something wrong? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Mark,
Many thanks for your very clear explanation of how this works. After posting I played around some more and I began to see a pattern which pointed to what you've written.
I'll have to experiment with some scenarios to make sure I understand this more fully. I was getting pretty frustrated.
None of the training I've done explains this beyond the most basic level, but as I'm discovering, there are many little "gotchas" which most training simply glosses over. Having said that, I do enjoy the challenges... keeps me on my toes. PPro is one hell of a product, and I use it as an amateur for my own personal stuff.
Again, I appreciate your taking the time to explain this to me. Thanks.
Jim

Windows Will Not Stay Selected

Menu bar app windows, as well as other windows will not stay selected. To type on some of these windows, I have to click on the window after every letter or else it will become unselected.

vanborki, welcome to the forum,
it sounds as though you have a corrupted userinit.exe file as safe mode also insn't working. Have you also tried last known working configuration? You could try replacing the file, google can help here.
Worst case is that you have caught some spyware, this will not only have corrupted your userinit.exe file, but also changed the registry entries. There are methods of fixing this using BartPE boot discs.
Your drive will be accessable allowing you to attach it to another system and copy your important files. A system recovery may be the easiest option to get your ThinkPad up and running again.

Yesterday I installed itunes for the first time on my new netbook which is a 64 bit (windows 7) system and it works just fine. i have three other laptops (all window 7) in my household that are all 64 bit operating systems and ALL have updated to 10.5 and THEY ALL work fine. this is FOUR 64 bit systems ALL updated w/10.5 that work and ONE that is a 32 bit that will not. Can't get any help from apple. their suppot *****! I want to get someone on the **** phone or a live chat but cant. *** APPLE????? please let mw know if you find SOMETHING i can try next. I'm out of ideas and patience!

Firefox will not keep the "no proxy" setting. I have to select every time I load Firefox. How can I get it to keep the setting?

I have to select the 'no proxy' setting every time I load Firefox. It will not keep the setting. I cannot find a way to get it to retain that information.

Hi,
Please [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved see this.] To open your profile folder: '''Help''' ('''Alt''' + '''H''') > '''Troubleshooting Information''' > '''Open Containing Folder'''.
You can also try to start Firefox in [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe%20Mode Safe Mode] and in the first screen choose '''Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults:''' and '''Make Changes and Restart'''. This is the same as deleting prefs.js in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox profile folder], which erases all the manually set options as well as those set by extensions.

Can't update my Ipod classic's software. My Window's Vista Home Edition will not load the latest version of Itunes, and the older versions will not allow my Ipod to connect to the update server

I have an Ipod Classic, 80 gig. It's over 3 years old. I have a Samsung SensR410 laptop, also over 3 years old, running Vista Home Premium 32bit but '64bit Compatible'
I had iTunes 8.
One day my Ipod stopped working.
I formatted it.
I uninstalled iTiunes.
I re-installed iTunes.
But the latest version would not be loaded on my PC. I chose English as the language, but because I bought my laptop in Korea, some parts of the installation were in Korea. I uninstalled it, following the steps here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
I re-installed iTunes 8. It loaded, but when I plugged in my Ipod, it said that the Ipod needed to be updated/restored, 'click to contact updater' but then it could not contact the server. I tried: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1814but it didn't help.
I tried downloading iTunes 9, it loaded, but the Ipod would not connect.
Help, please!

Hi Edward,
You should still be able to manually manage the music on your iPhone within iTunes. Make sure that when your iPhone is plugged in, look in the Summary tab to see if “Manually manage music and videos” is enabled and you can even you turn off Automatically Sync when this iPhone is connected. Take a look at the first article below to give more information on that. As far as your other questions about calling someone, I have provided two options for you. If it is for feedback on iTunes, you can use the second link to give detailed feedback on what is going on. If you want to actually talk to someone, the last link has a list of numbers for you to call for any support or service that you may need.

Messages will not retain the photo I set for my account...

Hello
Every time I set my Messages photo on the iMac I have - it defaults back to something that I have not set - it is actually pulling a photo from an incorrect photo in my contacts.
How do I rectify this, I have 4 apple devices, iPad, MacBook Air, iphone and iMac - this issue is only happening on the iMac.
Thanks

Hi,
By default when you set up the Mac the Login account gets you to chose a Pic.
When you add your Name and Address and Email the My Card in the Contacts App is set up and this generally takes the same pic at this stage.
Messages will then tend to use this pic for the Buddy Lists (all the Non iMessages accounts)
The Menu items comes from the iChat app that was the forerunner which generally had you logging in using a Buddy list (and it's actions comes from telling the AIM Server to change the pic)
By default Messages does not display the other Buddy Lists.
If you only have Bonjour apart from the iMessages account then Enable that account (you can see the Buddy List by using the Window Menu)
You should now be able to change the pic.
You may want to open the Contacts app and check your Details are the My Card.
All three pics can be changed and be different.

My home page will not stay saved,it keeps going back to the firefox default page

After I've saved my home page(yahoo.com)there will be no problem until my laptop either is turned off or restarted. After I turn on my laptop when I connect to the internet, my home page is changed from yahoo.com to the firefox default almost like if I just updated firefox.And I'm getting tired of having to change my home page back every time I turn my laptop on.

Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?
Some security software has virtualization or sandbox features that may cause problems by protecting and restoring files in the Firefox profile folder.

My firefox browser window will not stay in full screen mode, it keeps reducing itself so I can't use the scroll down button on the side, so I have to constantly minimize and maximize to get to the scroll bar, How can I stop this?

Like I said it happens every few minutes... It is annoying when you are on the internet for more than a few minutes because you constantly have to either minimize it or reduce the screen manually by hitting the button and then maximize it again to get the scroll bar to be in view to use it.

Delete the localstore.rdf file at the following location:
C:\Users\'''USERNAME'''\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\'''PROFILE NAME'''
I did this and it fixed it for several days, but it broke again eventually.

My Firefox window will not stay highlighted.

It doesn't matter what website I am on. Every 5 seconds or so the color changes on the top blue bar. I can be in the middle of typing something (like this) and then it stops like it is inactive. I have to click on the page to start typing again.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Just noticed it a few days ago, not sure why?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

My "Home" is a GIF file on my C: drive, but the Home button will not display the file anymore.

I am now on Firefox 6.0.2. Prior to this upgrade when I clicked the Home button I would see a GIF file from my hard drive displayed. This is how it was coded in my Options:
file:///C|/$USER/OTHER/BITMAPS/THINK.GIF
This file is also a Bookmark of mine and clicking that entry in the Bookmark bar works perfectly fine.
But now in 6.0.2 when I click Home it opens a new tab and then I get an error message saying:
Server not found.
Firefox can't find the server at www.$user.com.
and in the address bar it says:
http://www.$user.com/OTHER/BITMAPS/THINK.GIF
So my question is, why is it changing the "file:" specification to an invalid "http:" specification?

Thank you for the clue which solved the problem! I changed the "C|" to "C:" and it now works. But I am still mystified about what changed because my Home page has been set to file:///C|/$USER/OTHER/BITMAPS/THINK.GIF since my Netscape days, and like I said, it worked fine with the previous versions of Firefox, it only broke when I went to V6.0.2. The other mysterious thing is that my bookmark with the "|" instead of the ":" still works just fine, it only was broken with Home button, nowhere else. But now it works so I'm happy, thanks again.

ITunes for Windows will not play the next song in the list

Hello,
I cannot get iTunes to play the next song in my list (general list, not a playlist). The random icon and/or repeat icon is not blue. Every time I press the next button (two arrows to the right), it picks another song from my list, instead of the one that is directly beneath the one that is playing.
I have iTunes version 11.0.1.12.
Has anyone have this happen before and how did you solve it? Thank you for all your replies.
Ilona T.

Active window will not stay active

Just started having problems with the active window turning NON active every 5-10 seconds. Constantly having to click on window to continue typing.
Using the new OS 10.9

Hello TimHeffner,
It sounds like you are just using an application like normal, and out of no where focus changes from the app you are currently using, and you need to click back into it to make it active again. I wanted to recommend a couple of things here. First close any other apps that you have open and see what happens:
To force quit an application, choose Force Quit from the Apple menu (or press Command-Option-Esc), then choose the unresponsive application in the Force Quit window, and click Force Quit.
Optionally, you may be able to Option-right click the application's icon in the Dock and choose Force Quit from the contextual menu.
From: Mac OS X: How to quit an unresponsive application using Force Quit
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3411
If the issue persists, try performing a Safe Boot and see how the issue is after that:

Dv9810us after recovery windows will not detect the wireless card that is bulit into the computer.

After running the recovery (Vista 32) from the recovery partition my computer no longer sees the Wifi card installed.
There is nothing in device manager, the hp wireless wizard doesn't detect anything. I went to HP's site and download the 3 different wifi drivers that it would be and installed them. I can not rememeber what the adapter was.,. thats a problem.
This system was a refurbed unit when I bought it, if the salesman was correct it was recalled because of a faulty Wireless card. I wonder if they replaced the card with one that the restore partition installation could not detect.
Any ideas?

first make sure the wifi is turned on either by a switch located on the front of keyboard or a soft touch icon near the display.. if you have the soft touch make sure it's blue in color if its orange its turned off

My finder home window will not stay the way I set it
