Are you sure you are choosing "new folder" rather than "new folder window" - new folder results in an empty "untitled" folder on my desktop whereas new folder window shows all my files.

i just recently got a new iPhone 4 (my other one had water damage) and the service is all of a sudden terrible and my calls are dropped constantly. This has never happened before. Any suggestions on what I can do? This is really frustrating!

I have a new computer. I transferred all my data files and installed my programs. Now, when I try to print a page ti pdf using Adobe Acrobat 9, Firefox crashes, and Adobe hangs up.
Thanks for your reply cor-el. I had never heard of nor seen the pref network.http.max-connections until I read about it in some of the replies in this support forum. People were saying 256 was the old setting and a new setting of 48 would correct my problem. When I followed the instructions to get to - see - and change the setting I discovered that my network.http.max-connections was already set to 48. I never did this. The only way I can think of that this setting was changed is that it happened by an automatic update to my Firefox browser. So, the problem I have was probably happening while this setting was at 48 all along. It is still set at 48 and I am still having the same problem. I will try as you suggest and set it to 30 and see what happens. I'll let you know the results. That's again for your response.

whenever i try to go on to youtube or Facebook an advert will open a new tab, and when the search comes through there are adverts all over the screen. This only just started happening? What should i do????
You installed the "DownLite" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.
Malware is constantly changing to get around the defenses against it. The instructions in this comment are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "VSearch" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/Jack.plist
Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
/Library/Application Support/VSearch
/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/Jack
/System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot" or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
This trojan is distributed on illegal websites that traffic in pirated movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect much worse to happen in the future.
You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the DownLite developer has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight is inexcusable and has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select

from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return. -

If I try to send an email from a website by clicking on an email link my mail client (MacMail) does not pop up! This is not a problem with any other Browser.

Move the Safari app from the Desktop to the Applications folder.
Restart your Mac.
That's why you see this:

After your restart your Mac, click the Apple menu (top left in your screen) then click: Software Update ...

Many of your points are totally legitimate.
This one, however, is not:
…To put it another way, the design of the site seems to be geared much more towards its regular users than those the site is supposedly trying to "help"…
The design and management of the forums for more than five years have driven literally dozens of the most valuable contributors and "regulars" away from the forums—permanently.
The only conclusion a prudent, reasonable person can draw from this state of affairs is that Adobe consciously and deliberately want to kill these forums by attrition—without a the PR hit they would otherwise take if they suddenly just shut them down. -
I can't sync my ipad photos to windows itunes in Windows 7 because it can;t find a "new folder" How do I fix this?
It's not entirely clear to me, but I assume that you are trying to copy photos from the iPad to your computer (as opposed to syncing photos from your computer to the iPad), possibly using the windows camera wizard ? If so then the message is saying that it can't find a folder called 'New folder' on your computer which is presumably where it copied the last set of photos to (?). I don't use the wizard to copy the photos from iPad (I do it manually via windows explorer) so I don't know how it works, but aren't you able to tell it to copy the photos to a different folder on your computer other than one called 'new folder' ? This page gives basic info for copying photos from the iPad to your computer http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 (it is not done via iTunes).
If you want to copy photos to the iPad from your computer then there are instructions on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236 - that is done via iTunes using the Photos tab on the right-hand side of iTunes when you've selected the iPad on the left-hand side of it -
In Finder Go menu, Home Folder is grayed out although visible in Sidebars. Why?!
Recently downloaded Yosemite. In Finder Go menu, Home is grayed out. Home is visible in sidebars and I can access my folders within Home folder but not in Go menu or by Cnt + Shift + H or via Command + Shift + Go. I tried sudo chflags nohidden in Terminal to no avail. (Also tried it /Home. I don't know for sure whether things changed with Yosemite but I have the problem now. (Also, using Utilities to repair permissions, there were many re printer and some others; not sure whether any had negative effect.) Any thoughts? THANKS!
Oh for goodness sakes Mark! The light bulb just flashed!!! hahaha
Thank you so very, very much. Now I understand. I am so not tekkie savvy & don't understand the lingo just yet.
Lucky I posted the link to the video, so that you could highlight were I was going wrong and thank you
for taking the time to look at it to help me out. BLESS YOU FOR BEING YOU!
Now, if you don't mind, perhaps you could solve the problem that made me think to change the media player in the first place.
I upgraded to ML and for some reason I had real problems viewing the youtube videos. And then I had problems with online movie streaming.
A real long story made short. I got rid of Perian bcos it's not ML friendly. And VLC, bcos Quicktime is suppose to do the job. (Or so I have read.)
I uninstalled & re-installed Adobe Reader & Flash, Flip4Mac, Quicktime Player (I uninstalled the X version, thinking it was the problem & stuck with the simple version).
The only extension I have now is the Ad Blocker.
So why do the youtube videos take forever to buffer, then always stall & won't continue playing. The online movie streaming works great now. But not the youtube videos.
Any suggestions? Should I reinstall the VLC, will that help? -
My external iPhoto folder is grayed out - how can I open it in iPhoto?
My old Seagate external drive which had my iPhoto folder died but we were able to move a copy from my TimeMachine to my new LeCie external harddrive.
But now when I try to open iPhoto and then point to the LeCia folder for my iPhoto Library - the folder is grayed out. But all 194.4GB is in the iPhoto Library.
How can I may the iPhoto Library not gray so I can open this in iPhoto?
ThanksGot it fixed! The Folder was set to Open With Terminal!
Maybe when you moved it over from your other system, the Open With got changed? To change this, in your Finder, select the iPhoto library from your User/Pictures folder and do a Get Info on it Command+I.
Then change the Open With to iPhoto application!
Then from the Finder, double click the iPhoto Folder and it will be opened with iPhoto! WALLA it worked! -

Every time I try and create a new folder on my desktop, it is never empty, but contains all my existing files. Am I doing something stupid?
Is this what it looks like when you open the new untitled folder:
The left column always shows unless you choose 'hide sidebar' in the Finder View menu drop down options and, on mine, it shows two items on my desktop - the new folder and a previously created folder.
