New bookmarks are generated with wrong adress, how to fix?
When I want to add a new bookmark, firefox adds not the adress of the page I am currently visiting, it takes a total random one.
For example: I just wanted to add: http://www.medscape.com/, so I hit the star and then went to recent bookmarks and when I click on the latest one added (which says the correct title: Latest medical news.... ) Firefox goes to: https://www.google.com/search?q=korea&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&channel=fflb
This is so incredibly annoying. I already deleted the Application and re-installed but it still does it.
Please help me!
Try this as a test. On this page, click the bookmark star. Now click it again.
A window should open with that bookmark. Copy and post the bookmark
and the address bar.
'''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Start Firefox in Safe Mode]''' {web link}
While you are in safe mode;
Type '''about:preferences'''<Enter> in the address bar
Select '''Advanced > General.'''
Look for and turn off '''Use Hardware Acceleration'''.
Poke around safe web sites. Are there any problems?
Then restart.

I also upgraded iPad 2 to os6. However, I have not lost my bookmarks but I cannot add or delete any new bookmarks or new folders.

Folder created, yet new bookmarks are not shown the folder as available
I created a folder which has several bookmarks in it. However, new bookmarks are not given this folder as an option for saving.
One possibility is that you are having problems with the bookmarks database getting corrupted.
I suggest as a precaution you immediately do a manual backup of your bookmarks and keep them somewhere safe outside the firefox profile or program paths, such as on the Windows desktop.
* see [[backing up and restoring bookmarks]]
Have you created the folders within the folder unsorted bookmarks ? if so they will be at the bottom of a long list, look there first of all (note the very small scroll arrow-heads / triangles on the main dropdown list) ; if you do not find them then have a look at

I just got a notice to update my firefox to 4.0 and when I downloaded the new software it indicated: that I can't open the application "Firefox" because it is not supported on this architecture. Any ideas about what might be wrong and how to fix it?
Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html -
New Bookmarks are not appearing in bookmarks folder
New Bookmarks are not appearing in bookmarks folder. or appear in any folder I try to save them to.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Show Info
from the contextual menu.* An Info dialog should open.
Does the dialog show "You can read and write" in the Sharing & Permissions section?
In the General section, is the box labeled Locked checked?
What is the Modified date?
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). Open a TextEdit window and paste into it (command-V). Select the line you just pasted and continue as above. -
Logs are generating with owner and group as 'root'
Hi,
In our newly installed and configured Oracle application server(10.1.3.5), the logs are generating with owner and group as 'root'.
Location: $ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/logs
-rw-r----- 1 root root 6700 Apr 3 02:03 access_log.1364947200
-rw-r----- 1 root root 430 Apr 3 02:04 error_log.1364947200
We have configured it on port 80. For this the '.apachectl' ownership and permissions are changed as below:
-rwsr-s--- 1 root dba 1703780 Jul 21 2009 .apachectl
Kindly let me know what are the changes to be made, for the logs to be generated with the group as 'dba' instead of 'root'.
Thanks.

Edited by: 985284 on Apr 3, 2013 4:22 AMOk - that is quit weird then. If you want to run the HTTP Server on a privileged port, you basically change the ownership of the .apachectl executable :
cd ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/bin
chown root .apachectl
chmod 6750 .apachectlas per [url http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B25221_05/core.1013/b25209/ports.htm#CIHJEEJH]documentation.
Your user and group directive should be set to :
User oracle
Group dbaUpon starting, the http server would start as root and then switch the effective userid of the process from root to oracle. In the process list (ps -ef | grep httpd), you should see oracle.
Do you have the same configuration and what do you see in the process list? -

Hi Chuckfrombc,
Based on your description, it sounds like there may be a hardware issue with your display. You may want to consider taking it in for evaluation and service; you may find the following page helpful (if you are not located in the United States, make sure to select your correct country from the dropdown):

Woke up to my iPhone 4 being completely blank. I've tried restarting and resetting it as well as charging it and plugging into my computer. Can anyone shed some light as to what may be wrong or how to fix it? Thanks
Hello there, Kyle.Kuz.
The following Knowledge Base article that provides some helpful pointers to help resolve your issue is:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Specifically:
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 15 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

iPad audio output does not work, except for on Siri. The mute button is not on, and the volume buttons have no effect/ don't work (unless Siri is open). I have reset the iPad, tried iOS7 and iOS8 resets, which didn't help. The audio output mostly works when headphones are out in, but has a tendency to cut out from time to time. Without headphones, Audio might start working again briefly from time to time, but most the time it doesn't. Any ideas on what is wrong with it and how to fix it?
my iPad is a 3rd gen, 16GB wifi only model, if that helps
I did take it to an Apple Store, but the inncorrectly insisted that my speaker was bust and it would cost £250 to replace the whole iPad!Godly19 wrote:

iOS 8 isn't even out yet. If you are running iOS 8, I assume you are a developer and if you are, you are in the wrong forum to try to get help. If you are not a developer and you're running iOS 8, maybe that's why you are having problems on the iPad.

The type that I made bold doesn't make sense. Is this a typo and you mean that " headphones are not in"?

And you know they are incorrect because you get sound here and there from time to time? That fact doesn't prove that something isn't working correctly inside. You could very well have a bad connection inside the device causing this, but somehow you seem to know that's not the case. -
still running adobe cs2 on leopard. but now get unexpected quit msg. and wont launch. any chance that when i installed then uninstalled GENIEO yesterday something went wrong? how to fix? can i reinstall cs2 from original discs? bystephenftlaud
Hi,
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
Open Console in Applications>Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when trying to open CS2. -

my ipod is not recognized by my latop and even not connecting to itunes. I also tried to connect to other laptop and it works. I think the problem is with the software, how to fix this? a big thanks.
Update: I tried the "Toshiba Recovery Wizard" after everything else either fizzled out or hung up. After going all the way thru the recovery process (up to 100%), I finally got an error message.....it didn't work. And now, when I fire up the computer, I don't even get to that menu with the recovery options....the only thing I can boot into is the screens with the various ways to run your OS (in "safe mode", "safe mode with networking", etc).
I'm not a techie, but I'm guessing at this point, the part of my hard drive that got damaged in the fall was, at the very least, the partition with the recovery data. Couple that with the fact that this cheapo Toshiba laptop didn't even come with recovery disk (or ANY kind of disk, even basic installation software!), I'm screwed: I don't see any way to get a workable computer now without some kind of disk to boot from. So NOW my concern is more about spending the $$ for a new OS and THEN finding out the hard drive has other problems too...is broken in some other way to boot.
How to check this? As I said, I did run "chkdsk" back when I could get into the recovery menu and run the fix-it programs. It didn't note any problems. Thinking of taking this opportunity to upgrade to Windows 7 from Vista (which I never liked), but I have to know that the computer is otherwise ok....how to be sure? Help!! -
