My Firefox browser opens without any problem but in the background it is opening another browser page with adware on it.

My antivirus/adware scans come up with nothing.

Firefox is having problems with certain web sites
== Description

I've had this website as my homepage in Firefox for years without any problem (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed). Recently (as of 1 week or so) I get redirected to https://proxy.ucla.edu/auth?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov%2Fentrez%2Fquery.fcgi%3Fdb%3DPubMed when I try to load this in firefox. I don't have a problem with safari. What is going on here. I happens with all the NCBI websites in firefox but not with other browsers. Haven't checked other bookmarks rigorously, but this seems to be the only problem.

When I phone people can hear me without any problem, but I hear very very bad. The sounds is metallic and it is very difficult to understand. Have anyone idea of what is it about. I guess is not a software problem but I am not an expert. Thanks in advance

Make sure that you allow pages to choose their colors and that you haven't enabled High Contrast in the Accessibility settings.

A magazine's app on my iPad has stopped working. When I open the Newsstand folder and click on the app, the screen dims briefly, then returns to the Newsstand folder. The other app in my Newsstand folder (Wall Street Journal) opens without any problem.

A magazine's app on my iPad has stopped working. When I open the Newsstand folder and click on the app, the screen dims briefly, then returns to the Newsstand folder. The other app in my Newsstand folder (Wall Street Journal) opens without any problem, and this magazine's app opens just fine on my wife's iPad.
I have deleted the app and reinstalled it from the Apple store and that makes no difference. I have also done a hard reboot on my iPad with no result.
Any thoughts about what might be wrong?

Hey everyone in Apple world!
I figured out how to fix the flashing yellow screen problem that I've been having on my MBP! Yessssss!!!
I found this super handy website with the golden answer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
I followed the instructions on this page and here's what I did:
Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
I went through the 6 steps above twice, just to make sure I got rid of whatever stuff was holding up my bootup process. Since I did that, my MBP boots up just like normal. No flashing yellow screen anymore!!
(Note that I arrived at this solution when I first saw this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570?viewlocale=en_US)
Let me know if this works for you!

I have an Iphone 5S and used to sync it to my computer in the past without any problem, but now I can't and appears the message "usb device not recognized", and the cable is good and so the USB port. Do you have any idea what's the problem?

Try leaving it plugged in and then restart the computer.
If you are on Windows this link may help but it is a bit old.

Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Finder > Go > Go to Folder

Click Go then move the com.apple.appstore.plist file from the Cookies folder to the Trash.
Try the App Store.

I recently started to have this problem, I can view videos on youtube without any problems, but if I put a link lets say on FB, I cant view the video

I recently started to have this problem, I can view videos on youtube without any problems, but if I put a link lets say on FB, I cant view the video I can only hear the sound, its like, there even the buttons, only invisible, yet still clickable, so if I manage to find and click the full-screen button the video switch to full-screen and I can view it. this is really annoying as I cant see flash animations and some videos at all.

You need to find out what type of video it is. What your describing is what you get when a Video codec (software that allows you to "see" the video) is missing, damaged, or too old for the movie.
Once you identify what kind of movie it is, then you can update the codec.

Since 2012 I have Photoshop Elements always worked without any problem, however now the language is suddenly German how can this be changed, removed the program and re-installed, not working. Program is downloaded and updated via the apple app store?

I've done some research on the SQLite database. Whenever Aperture hangs up (like during auto-stack or opening the filter hud) there are thousands of SQLite queries happening. These SQLite queries cause massive file I/O because the database is stored on the disk as 1kb pages. However, the OS is caching the database file; mine's only 12MB. I'm trying to track down some performance numbers for SQLite on osx but having trouble.
It's starting to look like most of the speed problems are in the libraries that Aperture uses instead of the actual Aperture code. Of course, that doesn't completely let the developers off the hook since they choose to use them in the first place.
Oh, and if anyone is curious, the database is completely open to queries using the command line sqlite3 tool. Here's the language reference http://www.sqlite.org/lang.html
Hmm, just found this. Looks like someone else has been playing around in the db http://www.majid.info/mylos/stories/2005/12/01/apertureInternals.html

I have been using Final Cut pro v6 without any problems but recently had to reinstall. Since then I can't open and view all my Quicktime clips. They appear white in timeline which means you can hear audio but not view picture. Any tips?

I have been using Final Cut Pro without any problems - v6 - for ages. I recently had a hardware issue and had to reinstall the software. Since then I can't open most of my QT clips in my fcp project. They appear as white clips - audio only no pictures. There are a few QT clips you can view as regular thumbnail images and they play ok. What's the issue? I have fcp v6.0.6 and QT v7. Any thoughts on what to do next?

Yes I did software updates which updated fcp to 6.0.6 and QT to version 7.7. That's as far as updates have taken me although i have requested daily updates. I forgot to say the clips don't play in QT view either. Again sound but no pictures when they are played.

HT1947 Does anyone else have my problem with atv3? Plays films in iTunes without any problems but on music every time I use the remote app on my iPhone 3GS it stops playing after around 5 tracks in. Anyone having this problem?

Does anyone share my problem with atv3 I can play films through iTunes without any problems. When I start playing music using the remote app on my iPhone 3GS after around 5 tracks in it just stops playing and seems to lose my connection. Hoping this is human error on my part?

I think this is probably a sign that your network could be better than it is.
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first.

.tif files wouldn't open with Reader XI. It said they weren't supported or were damaged. I uninstalled readerXI and installed Reader DC and it still doesn't work. When I send them to another computer, they open without any problems. What can I do next?

Reader XI would not open several files. It said .tif was not a supported file type or it was damaged. I uninstalled Reader XI and installed Reader DC with the same results. When sent to another computer, they open with no problems. What do I do next?

The other computer must have something that opens .tif files. Adobe Reader has always only opened .pdf files.
If you are double clicking on a .pdf and Reader is trying to open the file, you need to set your systems file associations for the proper program to open that file type.

Firefox seems to be my only browser that puts ads on my Facebook page. How can I stop this? I love Firefox but hate the ads and will use another browser until it's solved.

Whenever I open Facebook through Firefox I get pop up ads and such. I do not seem to get this when using other browsers like Safari or IE. It's sooo annoying!!! I will use another browser until it's solved.

Since you have encountered the problem at other sites, not just Firefox, I'd bet that it is an Internet Explorer problem, not the web sites. Actually, I am sure it is an IE problem.
Try running Windows Update, perhaps there are some updates for Internet Explorer that might resolve the problem. If you don't know how to run Windows Update, use the Help on your system to look for information on Windows Update.
If that does not help, use Google to search for information on IE9 locking up when downloading.
