On reboot - wallpaper, safari and word change to previous settings.

Hi,
Thanks in advance for help. As aforemetioned, on reboot the computer seems to revert to an earlier state, where the desktop wallpaper changes to previous setting from a couple of days ago, with safari and word automatically opening with articles and webites that were open and being used at that time.
I am still able to open and save new documents, but the computer seems to revert back to this 'set-point' on restart, meaning i have to close these webpages everytime, and change my background picture too.
I updated to lion 10.7.3 just before this started to happen, too.
Thanks.

Try disabling the Lion "resume" feature...

Can't Open Safari and Word at Same Time

Urged my daughter-in-law to replace her old PC with a new iMac. she did and loves it. But now ther is this glitch that she has asked me for help with. I am stuck — thinking there was a simple selection item somewhere. But if there is, I can't find it. any ideas? Basically, the problem is this: when she trys to rum Safari and Word at the same time, one window disappears when the other application is selected in the dock. Then the other application will appear when selected but the one in the window disappears — nothing crashes. Here's how she describes it:
I could see both windows when I had iphoto and itunes open, but it wouldn't let me have itunes and word open simultaneously, or itunes and safari open simultaneously, or word and safari open simultaneously (as we already knew). I could have iCal open with the other programs at the same time (I just wanted to try another program in the dock to see what happened). I dunno... still it doesn't seem like a faulty operating system.... just a quirky way of organizing opened windows.... I wonder if it has to do anything with the function of using the command + tab function to scroll through open programs. I vaguely remember setting that up, or finding that function somewhere when I first was getting used to this computer and maybe that has something to do with it.
Any ideas?

Is she using an account with parental controls enabled and the Simple Finder option turned on?

If not, the only other thing that comes to mind (other than Spaces issues, which I don't use and thus can't comment on) is that maybe she's holding down the option key when switching apps, or has installed some third-party software that does this sort of thing.
Edit: I knew I'd seen this recently... someone else was having this problem due to LaunchBar:

What can i do my computer freezes when i use safari and word document?

My computer freezes when I am using Safari and word document. Can some help me??

The same thing just happened to my new ipod today while i was trying to use an app. A lot of people say that it is caused by an ios update, but I let the battery on my ipod drain until it turned off. Once i charged it, it turned on and is working normally again

Safari and Word keep shutting down, any idea why?

I have a Macbook since a little more than 3 years, but recently Safari and Word keep shutting down. Is there any way to fix this or my laptop is going to die?

Are you sure its those two programs or is it a mac fault, if not you could try reinstalling the software

If my macbook's memory pressure goes red with just Safari and Word open, is it just a memory issue?

Hello all,
I'd really appreciate any input on this issue. I'm not especially expert with regard to computer systems and software, so I ask that you please bear with me; I'll try to provide the best information I can. What has been happening with my computer is that it has been freezing and crashing, even with only Safari and Microsoft Word open. More information about the system as well as what I've done so far is below.
I have a mid-2012 13-inch Macbook Pro with a 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5 processor, 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 memory (two 2 GB cards), and an Intel HD Graphics 4000 card. I am running I have approximately 280 gigs free on my 500 GB Apple HDD. I am running OS X 10.9.3 (13D65), Kernel version Darwin 13.2.0.
In March or April of this year, my computer started seriously slowing down and freezing and crashing. (I think that this was around the time I upgraded to Mavericks, but am not 100% positive.) Since it is my only computer and I'm a PhD student, it took me until May to seriously address the issue. I ran Apple hardware diagnostics and the disk utility (verified the disk; verified & repaired the permissions), and tried uninstalling programs I thought might be causing issues, but nothing improved. Since it didn't appear to be a hardware issue, I decided to do a clean install of Mavericks with a full software update [and didn't use a time machine backup like I'd done in the past; I only backed up files and bookmarks this time and installed new versions of all my programs]. Although my computer ran better for a few weeks, it started slowing down again, and lately has been crashing on a near-daily basis.
After reading through the fora, I re-ran disk utility (disks check out fine; one permission -- for Safari -- seems to refuse to be repaired), re-ran Apple Hardware test twice (no issues found), and have been running the Activity Monitor [I put it in my dock with the bars showing CPU usage]. Today, when my computer started seriously slowing while I had only two programs open (Safari & Microsoft Word), the Activity Monitor icon on the dock showed all four bars at max.
I managed to get a few screencaps of the Activity Monitor:
So, this suggests to me that either (a) I have insufficient RAM to run Mavericks and run basic computer programs, or (b) there is some other issue.
Do you all have any recommendations as to the best way to proceed? I don't have a lot of cash, so I can't really spend money unless it is really warranted. Would it be worth running OnyX first? Or is this a pretty clear indication that I need new RAM? Alternately, are there any other issues that seem likely (an undetected hard drive problem, etc.)?
Thank you!

Hi Melophage,
Thank you. Although it is possible something was running in the background, in Force Quit, the only applications visible were Finder, Microsoft Word, and Safari.

Safari and tabs changing with no warning

I think this started happening after some update of Safari.
I open several tabs at once and Safari automatically changes to the first tab when it's done loading, but in the middle of loading the second tab. It's highly annoying and I wish I could turn this feature off, but I can't figure out how.
Any information would be appreciated

Hello Katharine:
Welcome to Apple discussions.
An easy thing to try would be to trash the Safari preference file (com.apple.safari.plist) - closing Safari first. Then start Safari and reenter your personal preferences. Occasionally a corrupt preference file will cause strange behavior.

Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then see if you can redownload your past music purchases (those that are still in the store) via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
If you are not in a country where music can currently be re-downloaded, then have you not got it on your computer and/or on a backup ? If not then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

Replacement iPad 4th generation WIFI/3G saying no SIM CARD and unable to restore previous settings

Hi Inez2317,
Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you see a "No SIM" message on your iPad. You can find some troubleshooting steps that can help at this link:
If you see 'No SIM' alert on iPhone - Apple Support
Although the article references the iPhone, most of the steps can help troubleshoot an iPad as well.
All the best,

Safari and word wrapping in Yahoo Groups

I have just discovered that the reason why all my Yahoo Group posts are horribly formatted is because I am using Safari. As soon as I use Internet Explorer it works fine. Is this a known problem, and is there anything I can do about it.

Hi
This is an on-going Yahoo problem. Same formatting problem occurs in Firefox. As you discovered, the best remedy is Internet Explorer.
You may want to contact Yahoo via their customer support link. However, given Yahoo's anti-mac/safari position over the past xxx years, I would not expect a reasonable answer.

With firefox 8 and 9 my Canon printer acts as though printing but nothing on paper. Safari and Word O.K

I've gone to the firefox page and tried the printer reset trick.

Is this the page you used for the '''''reset''''' instructions?<br />

TS1424 My Apple ID has been disabled recently. I went back and completely changed all my settings and still nothing. HELP?!

I need help with this. I have asked multiple times and nothing has came up.

If changing your password does not solve, then contact itunes support

7.7 not opening and has changed internet connexion settings

Looks like many people are having a problem with 7.7.
For me, not only has the iTunes icon been replaced with the one of a piece of paper and 2 crossed pencils - like a draft copy - which won't open, but I have also lost my internet connexion. I am using a friend's computer at the moment. Has anyone else had the same?
I want to reinstall iTunes and the internet settings from Timemachine but I am afraid of losing things in the process. Has anyone done this yet?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Would you like to show me your internet environment?
Same situation on Chrome?
If your machine is connected to internet via wifi on WPA2(AES, 11n), please try to change this wifi condition to WPA(TKIP, 11g).
In my case, resolved internet connection issue like this.

HT3819 Since the last AppleTV update I can no longer use home sharing. chI have checked all IDs, rebooted iTunes, AppleTV, and my router, eck port settings in my firewall. Nothing works. Is it me or did this update screw things up?

Since the last AppleTV update I can no longer use home sharing. I have checked all IDs, re-booted iTunes, my router, and AppleTV, and checked the port settings in my firewall. nothing works. Is it me or did this last update really scew things up?

Hi,
I tried everythink, but same as before!
- droppings ot the main screen
- loosing Home Share
now even on iPads !
Frustrating!
I'm now more than convinced that this is caused by the latest iTunes version.
As some others stated in other threads .... it seems that Apple doesn't really take care of this problem. So what if, if we could make them feeling the same pain as we do. ... Just by dropping them a mail as soon as we have the problem again. Not more often, we don't want to be unfair, but everytime it happens.
I found this feedback site http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
I will start now with this.... maybe this will help to rise a little bit of attention
Tweety
This is the mailbody I always use
Hello all,
Since the last update to iTunes Version 10.6.1 (7) streaming content (Movies and TV shows) to Apple TVs and iPads has two major problems:
- Home Sharing is lost during streaming (streaming stops even if a large portion of the content is already preloaded)
- streaming stops and the main screen pops up (Home Sharing still available)
This happens sometime after some minutes, sometimes after several hours, but it surely happens.
I followed every advice I could found on this support website. There are now a lot of threads following this issue.
Sometimes it seems getting better, but hours later the same isues occured again. Watching content on this enviroment is a real pain and very frustrating.
As many others I'm now convinced that the latest update of iTunes caused this problem.
Our family enviroment contains the following Apple products:
- iTunes on a Win7 32 bit Noname PC (all content)
- second iTunes on a iMac with OS 10.6.8 (all content)
- third iTunes on a MacBook Pro with OS 10.6.8 (daughter, only selected content)
- fourth iTunes on a Win7 32 Samsung Notebook (son, only selected content)
- all iTunes sharing the same Home Sharing ID
- 2 Apple TV second generation
- 1 Apple TV first generation
- 2 iPod touch (bought last year)
- 2 iPads (second generation)
all firmware or software are on latest available patchlevel.
At this moment, I can not recomend to others to buy this products.
I will drop this feedback everytime my famiily and I facing this problem... just to help you to get a better feeling of the urgency of this issue.
Thanks for every effort in advanced.

JMF and Webcam - change exposure time settings

Hello together,
i have a problem with the JMF. I want to set the exposure time of my Webcam. is this with the JMF possible?
Or is it possible to set this with DirectShow and use it the in Java with this Settings?
Platform independence is at the moment not significant!
Thanks for Help,
fridl

If you can do it with the DirecShow API, then you can just write a JNI function that calls some C code that sets the exposure using the DirecShow API to set it for you from Java.
But otherwise no. That's not something you can modify via JMF, per my knowledge.

Firfox runs the update check when opening everytime and doesn't remember previous settings; any reason?

When opening Firefox 5 in W7 enterprise (x64) it checks compatibility for add-ons and extensions, shows the welcome to FF5 screen and the welcome to Foxtab screen. I then find that all of the permissions I set in No-Script are gone. This only happens if I close all the windows but it does happen every time. I've disabled foxtab but it still does the check and new welcome.

Start with your finger at the bottom of the screen (about even with the home button) and swipe in an upward motion. There should be a row of icons at the top of a grey field. if the quarter-moon icon is bright white, tap it. If it was (and still is) dark, take the iPhone in to be evaluated by a qualified technician.

On reboot - wallpaper, safari and word change to previous settings.
