Running win7/64, FF 3.6. Browser history in FF being deleted on closure as setup. I open up IE and FF browser history is there !

Firefox is the default browser, it and IE are both setup to delete history on closure. I have to open IE and close it to delete the history. It looks like Firefox is sharing history with IE.

( links in emails )
this is what fixed my issue with links in my windows live mail
in Firefox go to tools >options >advanced > general tab > at the bottom click the check now button to make sure Firefox is your default browser . if its not click yes to make it default now your links in emails should open in Firefox properly

I just downloaded Google Chrome and use both Google Chrome and Firefox as my browser. However, whenever I click on an email link, it opens up Chrome and I want it to open Firefox. How do I fix this?

Go into FF Preferences & set it to be your default browser. This way when you click on an email link in Chrome, FF will open.

Firefox 3.6.8 fails to load any page if I open Outlook2003 after starting Firefox. Outlook also fails to send/receive although I am able to load pages in another browser. These problems do not seem to occur if I open Outlook first and then firefox.

I have used Firefox and outlook for years, but this is a recent problem. I can't recall if it started after the latest Firefox update or not. Firefox seems to work fine until I open Outlook. Then it is impossible to load any pages; the loading icon appears and persists indefinately. The only way to load pages is to shut down and restart my pc. Simply exiting and reopening Firefox does not work.
Additionally, the send/recieve process in outlook fails. My ISP has checked my line and there is no fault. I have confirmed this, since I am able to access the internet on another browser while Firefox is hanging.
I have tried disabling add-ons, clearing the cache and checked connection settings (I use system proxy settings), but the problem persists.
I'd be grateful for any help.

Cannot install System Update 4 on Thinkpad W520 running Win7 Prof 64

I am having problems installing system update 4. I originally installed it and had the problem with running it and getting the tvsu error message that is addressed in another thread.
I uninstalled it then ran two registry optimizers and reinstalled .Net and now I can't even install it. When I do I get the following:
This setup will perform an upgrade of '!@^'. Do you want to continue? Yes or No.
I click Yes and it runs some more until this pops up:
Error 2753. The File 'startsuservice.exe' is not marked for installation.
Click OK then the installation program finishes but does not complete. I even tried to uninstall and reinstall the entire toolbox and that does not work.
I have a W520 running Win7 64.

Thanks for the thoughtful response. See my answers in bold.

Slicing and dicing the registry is NOT the solution. Why not, if you know what you are doing? Guess the MSI installer is not the answer. I would NEVER use a registry cleaner, EVer. It over cleans. No argument there.
(1) Does programs and features show System update installed? No IF so try to uninstall.
(2) Install System Update 5.0.2 and post the results. Won't install. If it did, what results would I post? Install on top of version 4 and see what happens. SU is not installed. Support of your laptop does NOT show version 4 available for download.
(3)This system was factory shipped win 7 (released feb 22,2011) did system update ever work out of the box? No.
(4) What version of . Net installed? v4 3.5 SP 1 is needed. NO need to uninstall/reinstall. You are overworking yourself. Agreed
===
You state you used 2 registry cleaners, and from feb 2011 until your June 2012 post, was all well with your system? Yes, a couple of other problems were actually fixed but not this one. Based on all of the experts disdain for these cleaners, I guess I was lucky that they didn't cause more problems.
I would backup your user data and factory install. No, too much work. See foot, it has a hole in it. ?????
When did you receive this laptop, like before June 2012? purchase date? June, 2011

Your original post:
I originally installed it and had the problem with running it and getting the tvsu error message that is addressed in another thread.
When did you run registry cleaners? Approx. between 6/11 and 6/12. After the tvsu error message that is addressed in another thread? Yes
==
Your most recent post referred to a workaround. This involves SU version 5. It wont reinstall, seems SU service (old) pointing to non existent folder. New SU just released. You are version 4. So? Any version I try to install fails with the same message.
==
I do problem determination on main frames. Been doing it for 30 years. I did the same early in my career. Gather the facts. In your case, original, , System update msg error. Did something else occur(registry cleaner). Some times the interview points to the most simple solution. Oh, really? The easy fix would be to bypass the point in the install process that is pointing to a previous version that does not exist or find the offending registry entry that is deceiving the install process and delete it. But I can't do that because I am not a MS/PC software engineer and I can't seem to find one who can help. OH, change parm=0 to parm =1 or install the newer version. Where? Simple. You over killing it.
What I like to call tourist Information...(couch potato), .. so. bottom line, in June 2012, version 4 SU gave me a error message. That is where we start. That would be nice but no one has ever solved the original problem in this forum.

I don't think there was any setting I could change on the driver. Firefox did not show up in the mixer or volume control. It is there with the native win 7 driver. This driver doesn't seem to see Firefox. I just got this computer, but looking for help, posts three years ago on the web seemed to have this problem with the Dell e6500 and Firefox.

My history is not being saved. Yes, in preferences, I have selected save history [90 days]. I believe this happened with the recent new update?

Running firefox 3.6.11 on a Mac OS X, 10.5.8. My history is not being saved [or displayed]. Within preferences [privacy] I have selected to remember history for 90 days. No, private browsing is Not selected. When choosing "show all history" under toolbar, my history is empty. Does anyone know what's happening? This just began happening within the last week or so--which does coincide with a recent [automatic] firefox update.

This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Firefox browser is very slow, I delete history and Cache often, I like Firefox better than IE but need it faster as I am stuck with Dialup.

I empty Cache and all recent history except passwords to get about 4kbs and at most I can get about 6.7kbs. Firefox is a lot better than IE but I am stuck with Dialup or a high price for DSL from our Local Telephone company. I have Windows Vista and IE9 and 7 as this is a 64 system so I have to download both 32 and 64 to run. Firefox is bright and clear. I see that instead of Java which is disabled for Firefox it uses Jagermonkey, I tried to find some info on this but couldn't. I downloaded Firefox7 just 2 weeks ago.

Numerous attempts at a clean install of iTunes have failed. I am running Win7 64 bit on a Toshiba L series Satellite w/8G RAM and 100 G HDD space. Error message was (-42404), but following a complete (recommended) uninstall am now getting "Error 7".

Numerous attempts at a clean install of iTunes have failed. I am running Win7 64 bit on a Toshiba L series Satellite w/8G RAM and 100 G HDD space. Error message was (-42404), but following a complete (recommended) uninstall am now getting "Error 7". The prior uninstall included the establishment of administrator rights to files and folders left in the Apple folder after running the uninstaller, and successfully removing ALL visible and hidden Apple files and folders.
Any other suggestions out there folks?

On Oracle Metalink site, there are many documents which says that Oracle 32 bit software works on 32 bits OS and 64 bits software works on 64 bits OS. Official support is only in those combination....
So there is no good way to help you in your case-XE is 32 bit application with hard codded compiled libraries which most of them would not work on 64 bit OS.
Sorry

TS3354 Running Win7/64 on Mac Pro with Bootcamp, unable to buy iTunes HD movies

Hi,
ran into issue with Mac Pro tower connected to dual Apple Cinema 23-inch (final generation) displays. Running Win7/64 SP1 under Bootcamp on second HD; running iTunes latest, and unable to buy HD movie from iTunes store even though have latest Bootcamp drivers and Mountain Lion, and monitors connected via Displayport, Apple HD, and video (ATI Radeon 5700 series).
Is this an issue with iTunes not being able to detect the video card or displays under bootcamp in Windows?
(SIGH.)
Any suggestion would be helpful. I work during day on my Mac Pro, using Win7/64 most of the time; like to buy stuff on iTunes, like music, etc., and then be able to in living room download to also use with Macbook Pro and a Win7/64 HTPC.
Sorry to see such spotty support for iTunes on Windows 7 these days -- granted it's not their main product line, but still.

Just to clarify I am an advanced user going back to Mac SE/30, and so forth.
If you're not running Bootcamp on Windows, on Mac hardware, this discussion won't be of interest to y'all.
robgw:
as you may or may not know, it doesn't look like the drivers that Apple installs for Windows with bootcamp provides the full control panel, so under the Windows device info all one sees is this:
Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)
Everything works, but there is no Radeon control panel, and no way for Windows to see if its HDCP compliant, even thugh it is.
Sadly Apple doesn't provide a proper "Radeon" control panel for Windows, and I've heard of massive problems installing the defacto ATI Windows driver package on Bootcamp, as it might conflict with Bootcamp's drivers. The ATI site doesn't even have a modern download for Bootcamp ... it's up to Apple to provide.
SO, I guess I was trying to see how one could enable the ability for Windows to "see" the display properties (Apple's drivers recognize it as a cinema display, but that's about it).
iTunes won't allow purchase of the HD version -- it will only allow purchase of the SD version.
Perhaps another person using this kind of set-up might weigh in if they have a chance. Not world ending, just one of the minor annoyances with not having the full dirver control panel on Windows, running on Mac Pro HD.

On a website clicking on highlighted text in blue, the browser should take you to info on that subject. My Firefox opens a blank page and says "search history and bookmarks." How can I make it go to the info highlighted in blue text? Ver 3.6.15

Usually the browser will take the user to info pages when a click on blue text is done. My browser just opens a blank page and has "search history and bookmarks and then just sits there. I can change that so it will do nothing and the message is "type a web address". It used to work fine. How can I fix this.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

ITunes Sync Running Win7 Fails

So, new compouter, running Win7(x64), and syncing up iPhone (v2.2.1) for first time.
Ringtones and apps are pulled "up" from phone into iTunes just fine. Trying to sync a new music load down to the phone (using latest x64 version of iTunes v8.2x), and soon after music titles are shown as being downloaded, system chokes up the following (useless) error:
"iTunes sync error. Could not connect to this iPhone because an unknown error occurred. 0xE8000065"
This of course after it was clearly talking to phone just fine (ringtones, apps, etc).
Same phone & library running iTunes on Vista (x-86) works just fine.
Anyone have a clue?

iTunes syncing of music is one way, and always has been. You sync from the music library in iTunes to the iPhone. The iPhone does not have a disc mode like the old iPods and thus cannot be read from in that manner. If you did not have a backup of your iTunes folder on the old computer, you need to look at this User Hint from another forum user to see about getting music off iPhone to the computer. https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141
If by chance you did have a backup of the hard drive, then copy the iTunes folder in its entirety and put it on the new computer. While you would still get a warning that iTunes will erase the music, you will be able to sync it back since you have it. The iPhone sees the new computer install you did as a new device.

Thoughts/observations
1.) acrobat/distiller is using default settings. Nothing has been changed after initial install.
2.)The user that is experiencing this problem has the following setup: Win7 32bit with Office 2007- Acrobat 8.2.6
3.) I can PDF internet pages, but not certain word documents.
4.)Another user running XP with office 2007 is able to print to PDF. weird

Seems like when I uncheck "Rely on system fonts only; do no use document fonts"
it prints to PDF, but the original fonts are lost [some formatting is lost too, sometimes.]

Safari History Location - where does Safari store its history? (unfortunately I deleted it when running CCleaner...)

Safari History Location - where does Safari store its history? (unfortunately I deleted it when running CCleaner...) Now I would like to restore it via Time Machine

Hi..
If you deleted your Safari history, you may not be able to restore using TM but give this a try...
Go to ~/Library/Safari
Look for the History.plist file.
Best to not use third party utlities such as CCleaner. They tend to do more harm than good.

Save all the cookies and web browser history...

Is there a program that can save all the cookies and web browser history for imac.
all the pages my kids will visit. on the internet

as I told you, turn on parental controls on their accounts. then you can control which sites they are allowed to visit and parental controls also save a log of every site they visit. your kids won't be able to delete that log. only an admin user can do that.
parental controls are turned on in system preferences->parental controls.
