My iCal has frozen when I tried to add a cut and paste to the calendar for notes on a meeting I'm attending. I have to force quit but the next time I open it is still frozen and everything I've tried doesn't erase the message so I can continue using. Can't use at all. Help!
I have the same problem--have you found a solution?

When my MyBook external drive (where I keep my music) is connected to my Mac, iTunes stops responding upon startup. I have to force quit iTunes, disconnect the iBook, restart iTunes and plug the iBook back in.

Is there an option that someone knows about that would keep this from happening?
no, if iTunes can't find its drive/folder, it defaults to creating one within your Home directory's Music folder.
If anyone knows a way I send a product suggestions to apple please let me know, as I have a few that would like to suggest.
under the iTunes menu choose the Feedback menuItem. -
I recently coverted to Lion. When I tried to use Word, the document I loaded hung up andI had to force Quit Word. Each time I try to open Word now, the same document comes up and I have to force quit. Any ideas?
You should probably post your question on Microsofts own forums for thei Mac products as its their software you're having issues with: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac

I just purchase my first IMac with lion and I was trying to install a math program I bought 6 years ago. When I went to boot it off the disk while following the program instructions a window popped up with a note pad format with symbols and codes but the program would not download or open. How do I get this program to work? It is a mac compatible program by the way.
Your Mac probably does not know with which application to open the file and is opening a file with a text editor that really needs to be opened by the application itself. Try starting the application first, then use the File > open command to open the file.
As varjak paw comments, there isn't a "winmac" so that's not telling us anything.
Note that it is possible that software purchased 6 years ago may no longer run on your computer. Once we know what it is we can help more. -
Every time I open Firefox, within several minutes, the screen freezes, and the only way I can make it work is to force quit.
This works for awhile, and then I go through the whole thing
again.c uses the same profile folder as the Windows and Linux platform.
You can locate the Firefox Profile Folder via
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Copy and Paste this code in the Code field in the <i>"Tools > Error Console"</i> and click the <i>Evaluate</i> button to see the location of the profile folder.

I have made many ibooks and the paper covers have a picture and title. But the hardcover book inside is black with only the title. ie: Year 2013
My friend made a book and the paper cover had the picture and title, but the hardbook also had the picture and title. It looked just like the paper cover.
How do I get my next book to do the same?What version of iPhoto?
DIfferent themes have different layouts available for the cover - pick one that you like

Why do I have to force-quit Thunderbird every damn time? Using 31.5.0.
Every single time I use Thunderbird (has been going on for awhile - and this update tonight didn't change anything, it will not close down properly. Doesn't matter if I use File menu to exit or do Cmd + Q. It just sits there, and when I do Ctl + click, I see "Application Not repsonding" and need to force quit to exit it. BTW, am running Yosemite (10.10.2) on an Early 2008 20" iMac with 4 GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM.

I installed 4Sync when I was trying to find a download for a song and it has hijacked my browser completely. It always tries to set my default home page back to the 4Sync Homepage, but I do not want this. I even change it back and save the settings, but it just comes back and does it again in a few clicks. I feel like it has completely taken over Firefox and that it will always be my start page now, instead of the Firefox Google search page I normally use. I need to stop this because it is frustrating me. There is no new plugins or extensions installed on my browser, I just don't get it. Any answers would be greatly appreciated!!
Same issue for me, no settings or options config changes this
I also tried a roll back to 3.16 and the problem is there too now, so its something in the general mozilla files
dont fancy a full uninstall and delete of anything mozilla, but i wont be using this if it continues -
As you can read above, that's it. The only thing I can think of is that I did a Microsoft update and then my Firefox stopped working. It won't start up. Windows and tabs won't open. It's completely unresponsive. I have uninstalled and reinstalled new and old Firefox, yet I have the same problem.

1. I have a basic MacBook.
2. I'm running Mac OS X Version 10.6.8.
3. Under Firefox, I have my preference settings set on "When Firefox starts 'show my windows and tabs from last time'."
4. I have privacy settings set to "Tell websites I do not want to be tracked." and "Firefox will remember history."
Whenever I close Firefox (by clicking on the red dot at the top of the window OR by clicking 'quit Firefox' from the menu) and reopen it, it shows only my home page.
None of my tabs are saved - including the new app tabs (which sounded like something I'd like!) I don't have any trouble pinning the app tabs, but they don't stick. Or pin, that is. :) Nor can I get a restored browsing session.
This is something I can live with, but it's frustrating. Any suggestions?
Wendy'''''"I cannot get Tabs from previous session back when I reopen Firefox"'''''
Be sure that you are not using Private Browsing or are in permanent Private Browsing mode. See: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Private%20Browsing (2nd and 3rd menu items on that page)
Be sure you are not clearing history during a session or when closing Firefox. See:
*Clear Recent History: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Clear%20Recent%20History
*Clear History when Firefox closes: un-check "Clear history when Firefox closes" on Options > Privacy panel (the first item under "History" on that panel must be set to "Firefox will: Use custom settings for history" to see that item to un-check)
'''''"there is no Firefox Tab at the top of my open Firefox window - only a menu bar"'''''
The Firefox button is supposed to be on by default only in Vista and Windows 7.
In Firefox 4, you have your choice of using the Firefox button (orange or gray) in the upper left corner or the Menu Bar (''File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools. Help'').
*The selections on the Firefox button are different from the selections on the Menu Bar.
*You can easily switch back and forth between the Firefox button and the Menu Bar or leave one or the other active.
*The one being used depends on whether Menu Bar is checked
**Menu Bar '''checked''' = Menu Bar '''on''', Firefox button '''off'''
**Menu Bar '''un-checked''' = Menu Bar '''off''', Firefox button '''on'''
When the Firefox button is displayed and '''you want to ''temporarily'' display and use the Menu Bar''', pressing the ALT or F10 key will display the Menu Bar and you can make your selections from the temporarily displayed Menu Bar.
To check (or un-check) Menu Bar, do one of the following:
*using Firefox button: click Firefox button > Options > Menu Bar
*using the Menu Bar: click View > Toolbars > Menu Bar
*HOLD down the ALT key while pressing the keyboard letters VTM -

Safari hangs, freezes, and then i have to force quit
coming up on on my computer's first week anniversary and i have issues. this is not a good sign. help me love my computer again.
so, i open safari (3.1.2) and everything is going well. then after a few minutes, i click on a link or type in a url and everything stops. the program looks like it is loading slowly, then the spinning beach ball shows up and ruins the party. i have to force quit, which takes a little longer than it normally should. sometimes, this freezing will cause other programs i have open to close as well (itunes, firefox, etc.). any ideas?
(p.s. : i tried posting the report, but i got an error message saying the report was too long to post. weird. otherwise, i would have included it.)Hello,
If you only use the admin account, create another user account, log in to it and see if Safari functions properly. If it does, then the problem is isolated to your Home Folder.
Adding a new user account to your computer
You can create individual user ccounts for each person who uses your computer. Each new user has a separate home folder and can adjust his or her own preferences without affecting other users.
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences and click Accounts.
If some settings are dimmed, click the lock icon and type an administrator name and password.
Click Add + and type the user's name.
If you don't want to use the short name generated automatically, type a new short name. (Once the account is created, you won't be able to change the short name.)
Type the user's password in the Password and Verify boxes.
Type a hint to help the user remember the password if they have trouble remembering it at login.
Click Parental Controls and select options to determine what the user can do with the computer.
If you change your mind while you're creating a new user account, click Delete - to cancel.
Check your available drive space also. Select the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop then Command + I that will prompt the Get Info window. Where it says: General, click the black arrow so it faces down. You will see: Capacity & Available. Make sure your available drive space never falls below 15% of the total drive. If you haven't sufficient drive space, you need to copy files over to an external source and free up drive space.
Run Disk Utility and Repair Disk Permissions. Disk Utility is in your Applications/Utilities folder. Launch DU, select MacintoshHD 10.x.x in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab, then click Repair Disk Permissions. Quit DU when it's finished and reboot.
Get MacJanitor (if you haven't got a good disk utility). http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/10491 run MacJanitor once a week.

Safari 4.0.3 Top Sites and/or flash choke and I have to force quit.
I've tried multiple times all of the remedies I've seen on the discussion forums. Uninstalled an reinstalled flash. Dumped old internet plugins, reset, repair permissions, restart, trashed most safari folders, etc...in many different orders that have been recommended.
1- When I use Safari 4.0.3 Top Sites to go to some sites there is a frozen beach ball at about the time that the site is loading the advertising. This is predictable on sites with advertising. I have to force quit Safari. Then open it up again and back to normal. This is the usual procedure.
Sometimes the usual problem sites come up without a problem but that is very rare.
There is never a problem opening the sites using a saved bookmark.
I'm guessing that it's a page refresh/update problem withing Top Sites. Is it that it can't handle updating the animated ads when opening from Top Sites? Just looking for a solution.
Turning off Top Sites is not an answer. Avoiding using it is not an answer. I like the feature and want to continue to use it without problems.
2 - Rarely I've also had to force quit sometimes when clicking on a link on a page with advertising. It's as though I caught it (flash?) in some part of its cycle and it was off guard.
So, is it top sites, flash, scripting? I'd really like safari to work as it used to.If turning that off improved the situation, this confirms that one of Safari's database files has become corrupt and is causing the crashing, and this would show up in your crash log as Thread 3 having crashed.
The blacklists from Google’s Safe Browsing Initiative (where Safari checks for 'fraudulent websites') are contained in a database cache file called SafeBrowsing.db - the file was created when you first launched Safari 3.2, and if you have the browser open, the file is modified approximately every 30 minutes.
In other words it is part of Safari's (version 3.2 onwards) anti-phishing security feature.
As an alternative to turning off 'Warn when visiting a fraudulent website', which will lose you that important security feature, you should delete that database file, (but first close Safari):
Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari (this is a folder)/SafeBrowsing.db (although that location may be different on your system).
It will be recreated next time you open Safari, and will then start again collecting details of dodgy websites.

I can't seem to export a slideshow from iPhoto. I go through the export routine, but an iPhoto page comes up with other slideshows I've sent to iTunes, but nothing happens. I've waited, hoping something was happening, but nothing does. Further, once this page is up, you can't click out of it with the red button - to get it off the screen, I have to "force quit".
With Firefox 23 and TabMixPlus 0.4.1.0 installed, an additional box is added to the Tabs options panel that allows 3 options for the tab bar:
*One is to '''Always''' hide the tab bar. I do not know whether future versions of TabMixPlus will remove that option. I have tested in Firefox 23 and it is possible to completely hide the tab bar regardless of the number of tabs open.
Other options added in the additional box with TabMixPlus 0.4.1.0 are:
