Under the older iOS, when you opened a blank Safari page, Bookmarks automatically opened. However, with the newer iOS, this does not happen anymore. What iPhone and version of iOS do you have?

I just downloaded the latest software OS X on my mac book pro, now whenever I start my computer I have to wait for windows mac to open up. The open at login is not even checked. How can I stop this from happening?

I have a Mac Book Pro and downloaded the latest software OS X. Now whenever I start my computer, I have to wait for Windows Mac to do its thing. I checked and the "open at login" option is not checked. How can I turn this feature off? It's driving me nuts!!

All fixed Barry. When I went to restart my computer, the question was right there. Do you want to open Windows when opening. NOPE!!
I tried it a few times and thank goodness it worked. Thank you for your help today.
Best,

This is part of Lion's Resume feature (I assume you are on Lion).
A couple of things you can do: System Preferences>General and deselect 'Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps'.
Also when you shutdown or restart make sure the following is unticked:

Since downloading Yosemite, Safari will close itself out at times and I loose all the pages I had open. How can I stop this from happening?

Since downloading Yosemite, Safari will close itself out, when I reopen it all of my pages are gone. How do I stop this from happening?

But if iit won't stay open, then it's quitting unexpectedly which is the same as a crash.
There has to be a reason for that which a crash report should reveal.

Opening a new tab opens my history on the left. How do I stop this from happening?

when opening a new tab in safari, it automatically opens my history in a column on the left. How do I stop this from happening?

IF you change the view of the left column to "Bookmarks" or "Favorites" this is what will be shown rather than "History".
There is no way to prevent this column from being shown but it can be dismissed by touching the "Book" icon at the top-left of the screen.

I just purchased my MacBook Pro in February of this year, I go to a certain blog website quite often and I notice that the page tends to refresh or open up another window advertising Japanese dating. How do I prevent this from happening?

I just purchased my MacBook Pro in February of this year, I visit a celebrity blog website quite often using my Mac and I've noticed that once I am on that page it refreshes on its on and it'll open up a new window advertising Japanese dating. Is there a way I can prevent this from happening? My Mac is technically brand new, I am just begining to put use to it.

Firefox closes my Bell Sympatico mail after a minute or so after it opens. How can I stop this from happening? I have to keep logging back on, over and over, and pressing ESC to stop it from closing the site.

As soon as Bell Email opens, the corner symbol continues to turn and then closes my email web account. Usually hitting the ESC keys stops this but not always. I just upgraded to the new Firefox and am still having the same problem. This does not happen if I log onto my Bell Email account through Internet Explorer. This is unique to Firefox.

Freezes and system crashes should be virtually non-existent with a new machine (assuming it has not been polluted with bad third party software). If this were happening to me with a new machine I would return it.

Some webpages resize the window but when the window opens in a new tab, the entire firefox browser is resized. How do I stop this from happening?

This usually happens when the window is resized in order to fit the smaller content/intention for a webpage.
I would like Firefox to ignore the window resizing (down sizing) commands when opening a window in a new tab and just display the window in full size.

Go into ''Tools > Options > Content'' and next to where it says ''Enable JavaScript'', click ''Advanced...''' and then untick ''Move or resize existing windows''.
This is the only way to do it. I believe there is a bug filed to prevent all sites (by default) from resizing the window if there are more tabs open, but I don't think it has been fixed.

My iPad now rings when I get a call on my iPhone. How do I stop this from happening?

I updated to IOS 8 and now my iPad rings (wifi iPad air) when I get a phone call on my iPhone 5s. How do I stop my iPad from receiving telephone calls?

Hi there martyb33,
It sounds like you may have iPhone Cellular Calls enabled. Take a look at the article below for more information.
Connect your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch using Continuity
Turn off iPhone cellular calls
To turn off iPhone Cellular Calls on a device, go to Settings > FaceTime and turn off iPhone Cellular Calls.

Every time I try to open a pdf file in firefox, it asks me to activate adobe acrobat. How do I stop this from happening?

I do activate acrobat, but it still comes up next time I need to open a pdf file. The same problem occurs when I use a quicktime file. I get the drop down to let me me allow every time but again , next time I want to use see or hear a quicktime file I get the same question. This is very annoying. I went into options and chose the file to use to open rather than having it ask me but that didn't solve the issue either.

You can check for problems with preferences.
Delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.

I recently installed Norton 2012 and now when I open an e-mail in Outlook two windows open in Firefox showing the history of the sender how do I stop this from happening?

The windows that open in Firefox both have an address that starts with file:/// and then the directory on my computer to my "temporary internet files". One window displays in text only the history of the e-mails received from the sender. The second window simply says "loading"

That is a bug on Mac.
