If it is doing it while your device is plugged in, it is because it is set to automatically sync. Please go to: Preferences>Devices, and select the option to "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically." Also, I hate to be "that guy", but you spelt extremely wrong. Just a pro tip.

Firefox highlights all links in pink with dotted borders, how do I make it stop doing this?

Firefox highlights all links on web pages in pink with a dotted border. Sometimes the links are not highlighted when I first visit a new site, but after a few clicks then Firefox highlights all of them everywhere and it often makes the navigation difficult to read with all the pink boxes everywhere. How can I make Firefox stop doing this?

If the background of links is red then that is probably caused by an extension like SEO or SearchStatus that has the option set to highlight noFollow links.<br />
You can check the options of such an extension.<br />
You can click the icon on the Status bar to open the SearchStatus options and un-tick "Highlight NoFollow Links"<br />

Im trying to download the newest version of itunes but it keeps saying "The older version of apple software update cannot be removed." and wont let me finish the download, how can I fix this?

It keeps doing it over and over again, how can I fix this?

Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Update entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) downloaded from the Apple Website:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Does it go through properly this time?

Whenever i open certain apps i get the connect to itunes for push notifications over and over again and im unable to play the game, how do i fix this?

hey guys i have a question,
so i have the same problem for two of my apps, one is biike race, and the other game is snap chat. so each time i open one of these games i repeatedly get the "connect to itunes for push notifications" box coming up, and im unable to play the game, and i have to click my home button multiple times to get back to the main screen. i dont understand why this is happening and maybe you could help me out.

There are a few other threads in this forum regarding this issue. It appears to me that this was once an issue with the iPhone, but has now started up again after the upgrade to iOS 4. My iPod Touch is ~ 2 years old and has had absolutely no problems. It is not jailbroken or altered in any way.
This pop-up started for me after upgrading to iOS 4. I did the restore to factory, reinstalled my apps and the problem returned. It appears my push notifications are working, which is good, but I have to click through the pop-up every time I enter an app that uses notifications.
This will go away when Apple fixes it.

When I try to access the itunes store I get an error message that my computer is not connected to the internet, even though it is. How do I fix this? Thanks.

For some reason when I open iTunes, and try to access the itunes store, help, my account, or anything else I get a message saying that I'm not connected to the internet, even when I know that I am. What's wrong?

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

My ipod has been acting weird like it has been shutting off while plugged in the charging noise and animation have not been playing and it isn't being recognized by any computer even after 3 different cables how do I fix this?

PLZ Help I want to get my Ipod working again.

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 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.

I usually scroll with page up/page down on my laptop. With firefox, it will go back and forth between my previous pages. How do I fix this?

My question pretty much sums it up. I like to scroll with the page up/page down buttons, and it's hit or miss working with firefox lately. It will go between my previous pages that I've visited instead of scrolling down the page.
Any suggestions?

When you say ''"It will go between my previous pages that I've visited"'' like clicking Back button to go to a previously browsed webpage ?? OR does your current Tab switches back/forth to previous/next tabs located in the Tab Strip(Tab bar) ??

BB keeps restarting on its own

Hi.. I brought blackberry torch last year in Nov and is still in warranty period. Few days back, my bb started rebooting on its own. The reboot would start, halt in between and again restart. This means that fone is unable to restart completely. I tried connecting it to PC and do a virus scan but since the phone did not reboot completely, virus scan was not possible. By no other means am I able to start the phone. Can you please suggest what could be the reason..

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
I recommend that you attempt to boot into Safe Mode:
KB17877 How to start a BlackBerry smartphone in Safe Mode
It may take you multiple attempts to get the ESC key sequence (press/release/hold) correct, so be patient. When successfully into Safe Mode, think carefully...what happened just before this behavior started? A new app? An update? A Theme? Something else? Think carefully as the smallest change could be causal...and attempt to undo whatever that was.
Good luck and let us know!

My iTunes keeps opening on its own HELP!!

I really need help here. I have Googled this for a while now, and I can't find any fix. My iTunes will just spontaneously open on its own, sometimes it'll play the first song in my library and other times it won't. This has been going on for a few months now, through multiple versions of the iTunes software. Currently, I am using version 10.5 on Snow Leopard (OSX 10.6.8). I do not have plug ins that interact with iTunes installed anywhere on my computer, nor do I have widgets for iTunes. I do have devices I connect to iTunes, but I've disabled the Wi-Fi sync, thinking that was the culprit. It actually seemed to work at first when I did it, but now the problem is back in full swing and I've now gotten to the point where I need to store the iTunes app in the trash so the computer no longer has access to open it. I tried entering in "killall iTunes" into Terminal, based off a suggestion I read somehwere else, and it of course quits the program, but then iTunes just opens up again 5 seconds later. Has anyone found the reason this is happening? I see a lot of similar complaints, but NO answers and Apple support seems to be blind to the issue. I would appreciate any advice I could get on the matter, thank you.

That's crazy, LeonieDF, but i think you are Right!
itunes autolaunching was driving me nuts, i removed my headphones from the headphone jack on my macbook pro, and voila! No more problem. What a wierd bug.

The Character Pallett repeatedly opens on its own and crashes

Starting this morning I am being driven crazy by the Character Pallett launching unexpectedly on its own and then crashing almost immediately. Then it attempts to launch again, flashes briefly on screen, and crashes again. My crash log shows the same repeated process.[Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'Invalid parameter not satisfying: (index >= 0) && (index < [_itemArray count])']
It's pretty impossible to get anything done. I tried reinstalling OSX combo 1.6.8, but the installer would not see my startup drive as being eligable; I then reinstalled Snow Leopard 10.6 and attempted to update to 10.6.8 that way. But this attempt lead to an error that cancled the install. So now I am running 10,6, but with many apps that require 10.6.8. And the Character Pallett keeps poping up and then crashing even with 10.6. I'm beginning to think it may be a hardware problem, either ram or logic board issue; but I lack the diagnostic skills to figure it out.
I thought of trying to launch the Character Pallett on purpose, but when I open the System Preferences and click the box that would place the Keybaord icon in the menu bar (which is the only way I know to get to the Character Pallett) the icon doesn't appear. The check mark doesn't even stick.
And help would be greatly appreciated.

Where I am so far:
1. First I should correct the term I was using. It's tje "Character Viewer" and not the Character Pallett. To access the viewer one normally opens System Prefs>Keyboard and clicks on the box saying Show Keyboard and Character Viewer in Menu Bar. Once in the menu bar, one can access the viewer via a pop down menue item. But I did not have the Keyboard in the menu bar and the viedwer was poping open on its own. I couldn't even get the keyboard menu to appear in the menu.
2. I took the advice received so far and booted into Safe Mode, trashed the plist item. The viewer popped open on its own still, but did not immediately crash. I could click on the red window controller and close the window. In safe mode I could get the keyboard menu to appear and could select the Character Viewer.
3. I removed off all my log in items—the only odd thing I noticed was the duplication of iTunes helper. At this point I still could not upgrade from 10.6 to 10.6.8 via the combo updater. So I rebooted normally, but with no log in items. The System Pref for showing the keyboard menu item still did not work. Nor could I upgrade to 10.6.8 with the combo updater. I also tried update just to 10.6.1, but got the same Installer error. But the Character Viewer popup/crash is gone, but so to is access to all the iLife apps that require 10.6.8. iTunes, for example cannot see my iPhone or iPad when they are plugged in via usb.
So I guess I should thank yuou guys for your help andnow post a new question about not being able to upgrade Snow Leopard. Perhaps there's already been a similar problem posted.

ITunes Mac launches on its own - interferes with Magicjack and Airport

I have a headless Mac Mini 2010 which I occasionally hook up to my HD-TV that occasionally will launch on its own iTunes a short period after boot. Temporarily I've had to stop this action by compressing the application into an archive.   We are running Mac OS X 10.6.8. As soon as iTunes launches, the airport connection from the Mac Mini disappears, and the Magicjack software goes in the background and my Magicjack connection then dies. It happens at random, and I can't figure out why.
I upgraded to Airport firmware 7.6 on my Airport Extreme base station, and that didn't help. But it seems it stays connected always when there is a keyboard connected, but once I remove it, that connection dies after a few calls. Zapping the PRAM may have helped for now, and then immediately after removing the keyboard and mouse.   Lately it is working fine, so I don't want to mess with it, but anyone know why iTunes would launch on its own even when the helper is not listed in the Login Items?
When I've played around with it, the Airport won't accept my WPA2 password on the Mac Mini even though I'm careful with the password case, and username, and other computers on the airport are working fine. And yes, I disabled all the Bluetooth settings for looking for a keyboard when it is not connected, and the iTunes launching still happens. I would like to leave iTunes unarchived on the machine so I can use the iTunes sharing to connect to my HDTV occasionally since my original AppleTV doesn't work reliably with it either. I only want to connect a keyboard and mouse when I connect to my HDTV, but then otherwise leave those disconnected and it not interfere with my Magicjack.
If someone can help me find a way to leave iTunes unarchived, while keeping my Magicjack always up, and my Airport connection never dying that would be great!   Thank you.

Upeace, it's so long ago I can't remember now… But I do know that my newer MBP's volume can be affected by someone tinkering with the Apple TV remote. Is that a possibility? If so you can turn this off in System Preferences. It's not at all easy to find though—you have to go into 'Security Privacy > Firewall > Advanced' and then tick 'Disable remote control infrared receiver'.

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

My itunes keeps opening on its own without me opening it, it will happen again and again even after i close it. how do i fix it to make it stop doing this as it is extreemely annoying
