Problems when starting applications on my new iBook. Please help!

I have just bought myself a nice shiny new iBook G4 running 10.4.4. My problem is this -
When I start Firefox or Entourage it comes up all the time saying "would you like to make this your default browser/mail application"??
Has anyone got an idea as to why my iBook is doing this? My prefs are set in Safari for the default browser to be Firerfox and I haven't even loaded up Apple Mail on this new iBook so I cannot understand why it is doing it!
Any info appreciated, I'm sure it is just an oversight on my part.
Thanks!!
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.2)

Hi Gilford,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Apple Mail and Safari are the default mail/browser programs in Tiger.
In case you install any 3rd party software of same kind, Firefox and Entourage in your case, the predefined preferences are usually set to prompt the user if one's going to accept them as default programs of their functionality.
To eliminate this effect, please try to locate the preferences settings in Firefox and Entourage and uncheck the relevant feature asking such dialog, or check any feature that makes the program default. However, the simplest action that makes both programs default is answering 'yes' to their dialogs:)
Anyway, this is perfectly normal when you start off with your new accounts.
Best wishes, Michael

I am facing problem in starting ShellHWDetection service Error code 1075,please help

I am facing problem in starting ShellHWDetection service Error code 1075,please help

Shellhwdetection is a Windows service which stands for Shell Hardware Detection Service.
It provides notifications for AutoPlay hardware events.
System error code 1075 means "The dependency service does not exist or has been marked for deletion."
Please run services.msc, then find Shell Hardware Detection Service, view its dependencies
Make sure the three services are set to running "automatic" in Services.
If this doesn't help, then run sfc to check if there're some missing or corrupted files in system.

hi ChuckBing,
Thank you very much, your suggestion helps me a lot...
I change the WeatherReport Class as follows and its working now...
public class WeatherReport implements Serializable,Comparable {
    private String location;
    private String temp;
    private String desc;
    public int compareTo(Object o) {
        if(o instanceof WeatherReport)
            WeatherReport wp=(WeatherReport)o;
            String l1=wp.getLocation();
            String l2=this.getLocation();
            return l2.compareTo(l1);
        return -1;
}Once Again Thanks a lot ...

Why is my Safari not working and saying there is a problem when I try to open it ? Please help !

Hello I am writing here because today as I was using my macbook air, a software update popped up. I updated everything that needed to be updated, and when my computer restarted I went to use Safari and it simply will not work now. When I try to open it, an exclamation point pops up and it says "Safarir wuit unexpectedly while using the TelevisionFanaticToolbar plugin." I believe that my internet connection is not the problem, because iChat and iMail seem to be working just fine. I really need help immediately, can anyone possibly run me through some steps on how I could possibly get it working again. What can I do ? Help !

Hey blondgrl53,
Sorry to hear you're having trouble. From your description sounds like you've got something installed in Safari as a plugin. Whatever this "televisionfanatictoolbar" thing is, you should probably get rid of it.
In Safari try going to Preferences -> Extensions and seeing if you have any plugins installed that you can disable. That is likely the reason for your problem.
Another thing you can do is remove your Safari preferences file by doing the following:
in Finder hit command + shift + g and enter "~/Library/Preferences" with out the quotes.
Find the file called com.apple.Safari.plist and delete it. This is completely safe, all it will do is reset your Safari settings.
If you go to "~/Library/Internet Plug-ins" you can also look in there for anything suspicious and throw it in the trash.
Hope that helps.

Problem when start lightroom 6 on my windows 8.1 notebook

I have a problem when start lightroom 6 on my windows 8.1 notebook, the system says "impossible find input point in _crtCreateSymbolicLinkW in C:\windows\system32\msvcp110.dll", and lightroom 6 terminate. I disinstalled and reinstalled many times but I have always the same error. What is the problem? Thank for the answers.

Download update 4 for Intel x64 or Amd if your notebook have an Amd CPU of Visual studio 2012 and trya again. Before you can controll if the installer install library of visual studio 12 during installation and see if the library missing is on windows\system32.

I am using report generation toolkit 1.1 with Labview 7.0 and Office 2003 professional. The create new report VI opens Excel but throws error (-2147167262- from automation open VI) when I try to open MS word. please help...

I am using report generation toolkit 1.1 with Labview 7.0 and Office 2003 professional. The create new report VI opens Excel but throws error (-2147167262- from automation open VI) when I try to open MS word. please help...

Hi Leo22,
Does this error occur if you use any of the example programs that come shipped with LabVIEW? I would try opening one of the examples that write data to Word and see if those give you an error. Also, have you tried just putting down a New Report.VI and change the report type to Word? If this simple vi (that's all you need to open Word) breaks, I would check to see if there are any instances of Word still open. Check the task manager to see if any word processes are still open. There should not be a problem accessing Word 2003 from LabVIEW 7.0. If neither of these solutions work, please give some more detail about your application and we can research further. Thanks!

What program did you use to fix the internal hard drive? What repairs did it report making? More crucially, if repairs were reported, did you re-run the utility until it reported no problems found? It's possible for one set of problems with a drive to mask others.
If you have about 5GB or so free space on the internal hard drive, you can use your OS X Install disc to perform an Archive and Install to recover from the failed Software Update. When the computer restarts, download and run the OS X Update Combo 10.4.11 (Universal). When the Mac restarts after that, run Software Update. During all this, make sure nothing interrupts or shuts down the Mac! Note that the first start after each of these updates will take significantly longer than subsequent starts, so be very patient.
How did you back up your internal drive to the external one? Did you just drag things over in the Finder, or did you use a utility such as SuperDuper! or CarbonCopyCloner? Does the external HD show up as a bootable volume in System Preferences > Startup Disk, or using Startup Manager?

Crashing/freezing problems with my new MacBook - please help!!!

Let me preface this by saying I'm very new to Macs.
I just got my new 2.0GHz MacBook (1GB memory, 120GB hard drive) a few days ago. The first day, I had programs freeze up on me which has continued to happen regularly. This morning, I powered off the computer but noticed it sounded like it was still running and nothing was displaying. I had to hold down the power button several seconds to get it to restart and then a message appeared saying that OS X had unexpectedly crashed.
My questions - Should I really be having these problems when the machine is so new? Should I contact Apple and send it back to them? Or am I making a big deal out of minor problems?
Thank you!

Welcome to apple forum,
Try this :
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303234
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304308
And if the problem still persist, visit apple store nearest you like at King of Prussia Mall.
I assume that your macbook is built to order, and the built to order (not standard specs) is not eligible for return and replacement, but they will try to fix it until it work, maybe if it is unrepairable then you will get a new one.
Good Luck

Hi,
DId you download and Install the COMBO version of the last Update that you did ?
iChat on the Install Disk is likely to be several versions behind where your OS has been Updated to.
It needs to Match the OS level.
iChat Updates come in the OS Updates.
You need to run the Updater manually as Software Updates keeps records of what it has done and thinks iChat is up to date.
If you are on Snow Leopard then the COMBO version of 10.6.7 is here
If you are on Leopard then the COMBO for 10.5.8 is here
Googling Mac OS X 10.x.x COMBO where x.x is the version you are up to will generally find the link to the right page if you are at a different OS version.
