On startup, FF loads 2 tabs - one is my default, the other a FF info window.

I turn on my desktop and click my Firefox (FF) icon. When FF loads to the screen, two tabs appear.
- one with some FF page that includes a FF video
it says something like "Hurray: your browser is up to date."
- the other is my default page
The result is a slower loading time. Please help me avoid the FF-with-video tab on start-up.

Stop and refresh buttons (one will disappear while the other is active). I have found numerous websites that just don't want to load on the first try, now I am unable to refresh it (usually in a new tab) because the button disappears. BTW 255 limit is BS.

You can try to press the ESC key to stop loading the page if you see the Stop button instead of the Reload button. You can also reload the page via F5 or Ctrl + F5 (cache bypass).
Firefox 4.0 has a combined Reload and Stop and Go button that appears at the right end of the location bar.
To restore the Firefox 3 appearance you can use these steps:
* Open the "View > Toolbars > Customize" window to move the Stop and Reload button out of the location bar.
* Move the Reload and Stop buttons to their previous position at the left side of the location bar.
* Set the order to "Reload - Stop" to get a combined "Reload/Stop" button.
* Set the order to "Stop - Reload" or separate them otherwise to get two distinct buttons.

TAB keystroke is inactive in one session, active in the other

This is a problem I've been experiencing with Tiger, but it is still present with Leopard :
for some reason, the TAB keystroke (the one above the Permanent-Maj-CAPS keystroke, on the left side of the keyboard) is inactive in one session.
On the other user session, it works just right. So it is not a "keyboard-hardware" problem (at least...).
please, help me.... Using a computer with no TAB keystroke is really upsetting...
thanks.

Open the Speech pane of System Preferences and check whether either the speech key or the listening key has become set to tab; if so, change the setting.

My Bars are all stacked one on top of the other ie ASK A QUESTIONS, under that: File, Edit, History etc, under that Mozilla Firefox start page, tab tab etc. This uses 1/3 of my screen, can I make it all one bar

I don't know how to insert a screen shot of my problem but as described above, right now I have 5 bars on top of my window.
1. Ask a question under that
2. File Edit View History Bookmarks Tools Help under that
3; Mozilla Firefox start page (tab Ask a Question)
under that
4. Address line (www.you ask me.com) under that
5. Latest headlines, most visited, City of Balch Springs etc.
I don't want all these bars and I don't want all that window space used.
What ever you can do to help will be GREATLY appreciated
Thanks
Al

Thanks for the reply however, I don't want to "not show" these toolbars I just don't want them stacked one on top of the other. See what I mean with the snapshot attached. (Hopefully attached)

I have 6.0.2 on both home and work machines - why is the new tab button to the right of tabs on one machine and on the other the button is next to the "home" button?

I just upgraded both machines, and don't understand why one is different than the other.

It worked! I had to restore defaults, and then add my customizations again, but that did the trick!
Thank you so much! It has been aggravating me for some time now... I will use this "Ask a question" feature much sooner next time! :)

Once bootcamp is installed on my Mac, how easy is it to go back and forth from windows to Mac? Just a press of button or do I have to completely log off of one to go to the other?

Using vitual machine programs (VirtualBox, Parallels, VMWare Fusion) you can run both at the same time.
Load Windows under BootCamp. Then load the VM software and select the existing BootCamp partition as the "virtualized space".
But ... BootCamp first, following Csound1's advice about backups. And you will wantto boost RAM most likely because you need to allocate certain amount of system RAM to each "virtual machine", as well as leaving some for OSX.

Encrypted message on one Mac, but not the other, from same server

I run Mail.app on two Macs, both getting mail off the same Exchange server. Multiple times in the last few weeks, a message will download to one Mac and be fine, and then the other Mac will retrieve the message, and it will suddenly be encrypted. Before a bunch of garbled text, something like the following always appears:
--000_25539419161D7744ABC322B480ED5DA507650F7Acmhprdexc04netj
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
If you go to Webmail on the server, the message reads fine. And it is readable on the other Mac. I tried going to View/Message and choosing "next best alternative" but those options are grayed out. Could there be anything else set locally that is making the email unreadable on one machine but not the other? The unreadable version is always on this Mac (a Mac Mini) and not the other one (a MacBook), even though both are running the same OS version and Mail.app version.

Navigate to your Applications folder.
Right Click on iTunes and select Show Package Contents.
Navigate to Contents/MacOS/
Double-click on iTunes Helper(to get it running). This allows iTunes to start when you plug in your iPhone.
Open System Preferences and go to Users & Groups.
Select the Login Items tab to view the list.
Drag iTunes Helper from the Finder into the Login Items to get it to run at login.
Delete it from Login Items on the Mac you don't want it to start iTunes on.

After plugging my ipod into my mac mini, my screen split into 2 duplicate screens, one on top of the other. How do i make that go away?

I am not sure about everything, but there is something that may fix some of your problems. Go to System Preferences, and choose the "Universal Access" preference pane. In Universal Access, turn off VoiceOver, Zoom (seeing tab), Sticky Keys, Slow Keys (Keyboard tab), and Mouse Keys (Mouse tab). Make sure the "Enable access for assistive devices" checkbox, which is at the bottom of the preference pane. From there, look at other options and see if they are things you want turned off, or changed from how they are set. If you don't know what different options do, click on the help icon at the bottom left corner of the window. And if you are still baffled, ask here and someone will tell you what it does.
If you use any of the universal access options or think they could be useful, feel free to leave them on.
Also, go to the Keyboard and Mouse preference pane, choose the Keyboard Shortcuts tab, and make sure there are no strange keyboard shortcuts set that may interfere with the keys you are having issues with.
Did you install any new software before this started happening, and if so, how many days before it started happening?
Let us know if these tips get you anywhere.

Why does wireless work for one laptop and not the other?

I have two laptops:
1) MacBook: 10.4.8, Airport Exteme (Firmware 1.0.46)
2) G4: 10.3.9, Airport Extreme (405.1 (3.90.0.p18)
I have the two machines sitting right next to each other in my apartment. Machine #1 has full wireless signal strength. Machine #2 barely has any wireless signal. Neither is running Interference Robustness. Any ideas why one would work and the other would not, or suggestions as to how to debug this problem?
I have tried stopping and restarting the Airport Extreme card on machine #2. I have also tried power cycling machine #2. This does not fix the problem.
A little more history: for a long time I was having problems with machine #2 dropping the wireless connection. As part of trying to work around these problems I turned on Interference Robustness on machine #2. This fixed the dropping signal problem, but left me with weak signal strength. I shut off Interference Robustnes but ever since then the signal has still been weak on machine #2.
Mac Mini Duo 1.66 GHz, 2 GB Mac OS X (10.4.6)

The base station uses a single channel which all clients must use to connect.
Have you checked the antenna connection into the card? Many people are surprised about how far the wire is actually supposed to be pushed into the card. Compare the connection with the photos in KB 108039, Properly attaching the antenna on an AirPort Extreme Card.

I have two apple accounts on one computer. How do i delete one account without deleting the other?

I have two questions!!
I need to know how to delete one account without deleting the other account on the computer?
I am deleting the account because i have a new laptop that now has the my account... will deleting the account on one computer affect the account on the other laptop?

What do you mean by deleting the account? One can't delete an Apple ID/iTunes account. One just stops using it.
Since yo can only have five computer authorized for one iTunes account you might want to deauthorize the computer for that account
iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization

You need to setup iMessage on one of the two phones using a different AppleID.

When I import a commercial CD itunes will create 2 identical albums and put all of the songs except one into one album and put the other song into the other album by it self. How can I combine them all into one album and why is itunes doing this?

When I import a commerical CD Itunes will create 2 identical albums and put all of the songs except one into one album and put the other song into the second album that it created. Why is itunes doing this and what can I do to combine them into one album?

I found this to be somewhat helpful: Grouping Tracks into Albums
What I did was to put in the same name for Album Artist in every track. That seemed to do the trick (previously all those fields were empty). It seems like a lot of work for a simple thing.
iTunes knows (or should know) that these tracks were imported from one CD. So why is it relying on incomplete data from the gracenote database?

Hi Craig
Unfortunately, in your case, there isn't really a way to separate them as far as I can think.
You could try restoring from a backup, and choosing an older backup perhaps
Cheers

I have an Ipad 2. My wife has an Ipad mini. When we connect to Itunes it installs all the apps from one Ipad on to the other. I unchecked the box to automatically update apps, but Itunes still does so. How do I prevent Itunes from intalling apps?

I have an Ipad 2. My wife has an Ipad mini. When we plug in to Itunes (at different times) it synchs the apps from one Ipad on to the other. We don't want this. I have uncheked the box for Automatically synch apps, but it still does this.
How do I get Itues to see each Ipad as a separate item, and not try to keep them "equal" as far as apps installed?

Remove the apps from iTunes with your device connected. You can basically deselect the apps that you don't want on each device. We have three IOS devices on one AppleID and they don't all have the same apps.
