The EXACT text of any Error Messages you saw.
Photoshop switchs automatically my keyboard to a qwerty (no error message). It's randomly.
The icon of Photoshop in the taskbar closes and re-opens in 1 second when I keep down a button on my keyboard (ie: when I use ALT with Lasso) or mouse (ie: when I use the picker color).
Precise symptoms of your problem
When I do a CTRL+Z for cancel something, it asks me "Do you want really to close this document before saving" (something like that)
When I use some tools like Lasso, I keep sometimes pressing ALT to remove an area. After 5 seconds, the icon of PS in the taskbar closes and re-opens 1 time, fastly. Then, my selection is lost...
I have the same problem when I pick a color: I keep my right click down and the icon of PS closes et re-opens... Here, I have to minimize and maximize Photoshop if I want to see back my window (which contains the picker color). I have the same problem with others windows in Photoshop.
Thanks
Considering the great amount of bloatware that most builders load a machine up with, I am surprised that a user can do anything beyond using Notepad.
This ARTICLE was written for setting up one's computer for a Video-editing session, but translates to working with other programs, like Encore for authoring and PS for image editing, as well. Hope that it helps you.
Good luck,
Hunt

I just purchased GarageBand 10.0.3 last week and I repeatedly keep getting the following message when I try to download ANY of the FREE Piano lessons in the "Lesson Store", "Garageband was not able to install the new sounds. Close and re-open Garageband to download and install them again." I have tried EVERY suggestion that I have come across on the internet and nothing is working! If I'd known I would encounter this issue, I would not have paid for this. Tried restarting, rebooting, reinstalling, deleting the cache, and on the verge of just reinstalling the OS. I have come across people have the same issue for months and I can't believe Apple has not offered a fix or update or anything.Immargarita, Since you just purchased the software you qualify for a no charge one on one at an Apple store. They never could tell me what was wrong, but after three visits and not one dime, all lessons downloaded at the store. I was not going home until it worked.
Hint, hint, I had just upgraded OX when the problem started. So... I qualified for tech support. I forgot to get my none working since the up grade Photoshop fixed. Some Java component can't be found and just like GB, the link to Apple for support does not work. I have the good old PS disc. I'm not happy with this cloud stuff.
When you call and give the SN for your computer, they may say it will cost $29.00 dollars for one time support. Instead choose a different prompt, tell the human being what your problem is and set up a visit to the Apple store. BTW, no one at the store seemed to have heard of this issue.
The techie just started the download and ran the activity monitor. The download stopped once. Then he continued it and everything is there now.
Shame on you Apple.
Hope this helps. -
when trying to play FarmVille with Firefox on my laptop, a window continually pops open with the title "about blank" then it closes, and pops open again right away. Because of this I can not manage to do anything on the FarmVille screen. This does NOT happen on my desktop machine. Both are running Windows 7 64 bit. How can I prevent the window from poping up all the time? Something is continually sending a request, but I do not know what it is. Thank you for any help or suggestions. By the way, Google Chrome works perfectly, but I prefer Firefox.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

I have moved my library to an external hard drive and changed the location of the iTunes media folder in Preferences, but every time I close and re-open iTunes, I have to do it all over again. How can I make the iTunes media folder change permanent? I have an older machine with Windows XP.
I don't believe mounting the hard drive should be necessary, unless you have several external drives and want your computer to recognise them as folders, rather than drives. I've never had to mount a hard drive, ever. If you don't know how to do it, then it shouldn't be necessary now.
Try this:
Prepare iTunes so that it can see the external drive.
Make a note of which drive-letter the external drive has been allocated. (Look in Windows Exploer)
Look at the file location for a song. Make sure it plays (and therefore that iTunes has found it). Highlight it and select File/Get Info/Summary>Where: and make a note of the drive letter for that song.
Close and shut down the computer.
The next time you turn the computer on again, connect the external drive
Before you start iTunes - check the external drive in Windows Explorer. Is it ready, does it have the same drive-letter that it had last time? Can you go into the drive and see the files on it?
Once you can, start iTunes. (If the drive lettter has changed, you need to work out why before going any further.)
If iTunes fails to find your external drive, you need to check where iTunes is looking for your Library.
Select the same song you checked before (presumably iTunes can no longer find it). Follow the procedure for locating it. You should be able to see where iTunes thinks the file is. It's the drive that counts. Which drive letter is iTunes looking at? Is it the same one that it was previously (which should also be the same one that the drive has now).
What happens, which step do you have problems with?

I have updated to the latest version of iTunes (11.2.2.3). However, when I connect my iPod it shows in My Computer and iTunes opens automatically when the iPod is connected but the device doesn't show in iTunes. Any ideas? I am on Windows 8.1 and my iPod is a Classic

I have read about this happening, but the only solution is for people who use Norton, and I do not-it is not even on my laptop at all..
I have firefox 4.0. Every time I close firefox, some of my SAVED bookmarks are missing when I re-open later. I tried re-saving them, but then when I close and re-open firefox later on again, some more bookmarks are gone..this only happens when I exit for a while..if I close and re-open firefox right away the bookmarks are all still there.
This is very frustrating! I never had this problem with firefox 3.whatever..PLEASE HELP??
ps. i am not very technical, so if there is a bunch of hard things I have to do myself to fix this, then I think I will switch to Internet Explorer..Yes - see [[options window - privacy panel]]. There is an option to clear some of the history when Firefox closes, you can customise that.

My open tabs are not being remembered when I close and re-open Firefox 4 even though I selected this feature in Options. Can anyone tell me why?
App tabs and Tab Groups (Panorama) are stored as part of the session data in the file sessionstore.js in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder]
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Session_Restore
Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the "Browsing History" if Firefox is closed. -
How to close and re-open the browser
I have just downloaded a program and to fully install it it is requesting that I close the browser and re-open it. I don't know how to close and re-open the browser. Can you tell me how to close and re-open the browser? Thank you
It is always best to use File > Exit<br />
That will close all open windows, so if there are still other windows open then these won't close if you use the close X on the title bar.
Also make sure that you do not have security software that is locking files in the Firefox program folder. -
Why does word and excel open automatically at login, there is no check in front of Open at Login
Every time I boot up the system OS X 10.9, Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel open automatically. When I click on W and E on the dock and right click Options, there is not a check mark beside "Open at Login". It is 4 extra steps each morning to close the word and excel screens that open.
Thanks for any suggestions.When you shutdown do you uncheck this box:
Also, check here:
System Preferences > Users & Groups > Select your user account > Login Items -
So i downloaded macoffice on the new macbook air using the internet and the code on the box as per the instructions of the guys at apple. The problem is everytime I start up the macbook, both word, excel and my mail automatically opens up. And when i close excel, he spreadsheet opens up again.. How do I stop this?
If you go into "System Preferences > Accounts > your account and tab the Login Items tab, do you see the programs listed there? Delete them and restart your MBAir

Firefox closes and wont open on installing certain add ons
I was using Firefox today and suddenly one of the add ons ( Download Helper ) started to be irresponsive. I tried to close firefox and reopen it and wont open. The icon flashes and goes away. I removed the app using Appzapper and downloaded and run a clean reinstall. Now, I went on to download all the add ons I used to have (Download Helper, Sage and few others) and restarted firefox and the symptoms reappeares. I tried to create a new profile and it didn't work. I used Safe mode to deactivate the plugins and it works, whenever one of them ( which I used to have before the problems ) is activated Firefox crashes. I went on to create a new Account and tried the same and it is working perfectly. So, can you tell me what I might have done wrong to cause this?
Hello Pranav.
If your Firefox is closing unexpectedly, see this support article:
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+crashes
If you are unable to install add-ons, see this support article:
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Unable+to+install+add-ons
Remember that if you have a problem with a specific add-on, you need to contact its author for support. -
How do I restore tabs every time I close and re-open Firefox?
So I've already selected (in Options) "When Firefox starts: Show my windows and tabs from last time," but when ever I close and open Firefox, I just get the one homepage tab. What else do I need to do?
If you use [[Clear Recent History]] in Firefox 3.5 and later to clear the 'Browsing History' when you close Firefox then restoring tabs from the last session ("Save & Quit" or "Show my windows and tabs from last time") doesn't work.

I use firefox exclusively. I open many sessions simultaneously mostly one site per session in a single tab. At times during the day when I keep firefox open, I will return to a previous site/session and before I am able to see it, I am getting browser 'pop-ups' of ads for TJ MAxx (a site I never visit) and hard-core porno (a site i never visit and not part of my browsing demographic). These are completely random and hide behind legitimate browsing sessions and are not listed in history etc. They are not being removed by adware or Norton and they are driving me nuts not to mention the embarassment of trying to launch a legitimate site and getting disgusting porno in your face while working with colleagues. Please help!
'''Scan for Malware'''
Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
* [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx Microsoft Safety Scanner]
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]
* [http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit Utility]
[http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.
Further information can be found in the [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]] article.
'''Reset Firefox'''
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

HT1572 the charging light won't stay on - I have to close and re-open the I Tunes app
I have a new HP laptop. I don't know if it's a coincidence, but my charging light won't stay on. I have to keep closing and re-opening the I Tunes program. Is the battery shot or what?
Thanks.Depending on how often you use your shuffle (how many charging cycles it's been through), a 2nd gen shuffle from 2008 could have a worn out battery.
Battery charging is not dependent on iTunes running. If you connect it to the laptop without iTunes running (or even installed), it should charge. If you connected the USB cable to one of those USB power adapters, it should charge. It just needs a USB 2.0 port with power.
When you connect it and run iTunes, does the shuffle still appear in the iTunes sidebar? Can you still sync it from empty to full?
