Safari show all tabs doesn't work all the time

It is annoying: safari show all tabs doesn't work all the time. The little icon to the right of the "New Tab" area sometimes works, and sometimes doesn't. The Shift Command Back-slash, sometimes works, and sometimes doesn't. I find no rhyme nor reason for this. I have a MacBook Pro, Mountain Lion, the latest updates. It doesn't matter if I am in Full Screen or not.
I am quite confused regarding this.

Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type of copy paste the following:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, empty the cache more often from your keyboard.
Command + Option + E

My iPhone 5 lock button doesn't work half the time. What can I do about this?

For the past month or so my lock button hasn't been working. It takes three or more tries to get it to work and sometimes I just can't even use it. Pressing harder doesn't work. Is there anything anyone can help me out on with this? It's getting annoying and I want to know if there's a way to fix it.

Looks like a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is required...
Be sure to make an appointment first...

[Open a new tab] doesn't work after the last update!

Firefox just updated today and now all the sudden when I try to press the [+] to open a new tab nothing happens. Mousing over it even says it's still the same button. It's odd and rather inconvenient.
Firefox is updated to Version 29.0.1

Hello,
try to uninstall your Firefox and then reinstall your Firefox.

Home button doesn't work half the time...

Some time my iPad freezes up or something.. The home button quits working...

sounds like a periodic defect button switch

My Search Light doesn't work half the time.

When I go to search for an application I get NO results, nothing.. and its for items I know I have on my phone. Any fix for this?

Whoa....dude...chill. I wouldn't expect much help from others here with that kind of attitude. I was aware of the comment regarding it being an intermittent problem but figured it might help to check those settings because I experienced a similar issue. Keep in mind this is a user forum - if you're that bent out of shape that you need to resort to name calling maybe you should go seek help elsewhere.

Auto Import CD then Eject unreliable (works half the time)

I'm trying to re-rip my large collection of CDs, so I set my iTunes General Preferences to:
When you insert a CD: [Import CD and Eject]
Unfortunately, it doesn't work half the time. When it does work, it works as you might expect. I insert the CD, it spins up, iTunes mentions that it is looking up the track info online, and then it starts importing. When it's done it ejects. Perfect.
However, sometimes I insert the CD and things go differently. It spins up, iTunes acts like it's doing something, but then it stops as if no CD were present. There's no CD listed on my desktop nor on the left panel of iTunes. My only option here is to use the top menu bar Eject -> Eject Superdrive tool, then reinsert. The second insertion of the CD makes it work as listed in the previous paragraph.
At first it seemed to fail every few CDs, but now I have to do the in-out-in thing on every CD. Because this requires MORE attention on my part than doing it the normal, manual way, I have resorted to the old manual way. Insert CD, iTunes shows the CD, and then I say Import. Then I manually eject.
Anyone know why the auto feature isn't working reliably?
Thanks!
Michael

Actually the problem seems unrelated to whether I have auto-import turned on or not. The problem appears to be general, and related to CD identification.
I notice when it fails that iTunes has begun doing the CDDB (or whatever it's called now) lookup, but that only flashes briefly and then it goes away as if there were no CD in the drive. I eject, immediately reinsert, and it works the next time.
Now that I'm nearly done re-ripping my collection (450 CDs), I'd estimate that it fails to see/recognize/mount 1 out of every 5 CDs on the first try.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Have you updated to the latest version of the Remote App.

In Safari, the link to "mail this web page" doesn't work, and the share link shows "no service". Does anyone have a solution? I have a MacBook Pro and upgraded to Yosemite yesterday

Safari copy url button doesn't work

I just upgraded from an ipad2 to an iPad air 2. Before, if I wanted to copy and paste a url I'd use the copy button. Now,on the new iPad air 2, the copy button just wipes out whatever I've previously copied, and doesn't copy the url.

You tap and hold down in the URL field until you get the option to select all. Then you choose the option to select all. An option to Copy appears and you select that and then you should be able to paste that URL into a text field.
Safari copy url button doesn't work
I Realize that you must know the steps but I am just double checking. If that is not working for you, and you are not having copy and paste issues elsewhere in other apps, I would try clearing Safari, force close it and then reset your iPad.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History and Website Data
Now force close Safari. In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Next, reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Alt-tab doesn't work properly

Alt-tab is supposed to display the icons for the applications that are running. If I keep the alt key depressed, the icons are supposed to stay visible. But on my system, they are only visible for a couple of seconds, and then the window for the icon I
have highlighted opens. How do I ensure that the icons stay visible when the alt key is held down?

When I use Alt/Tab (press alt/tab and release tab but hold alt) I get different results at different times. For example, this morning I used Alt/Tab and it displayed the list of thumbnails on top of their respective windows. That worked fine several times.
But a few minuets later it changed and displays the list of thumbnails behind the windows (i.e., you can't see the list).
I know this can be turned off by disabling Aero Peek but that will disable other useful features too. I am using Windows 7 on a DELL E6440 but this problem exists on all computers I have ever used, including Levento.
Win/Pause just brings up Control Panel/System. Win-F11 does nothing (in Firefox).
Note that I did not load or run any programs between the time it was working and the time it quit working. I was only switching between applications.
This is clearly a Windows 7 bug. I don't see the problem on Windows 8 (but I don't use that much).

Where are my screens!!??? All my task windows work but the main application window where I Can see my work is missing!

All my task windows work but the main application window where I Can see my work is missing!
Help Me!
I have two operational websites that I can't acces!

Try the following:
delete the iWeb preference files, com.apple.iWeb.plist and com.apple.iWeb.plist.lockfile, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
Click to view full size
launch iWeb and try again.
If that doesn't help continue with:
move the domain file from your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
launch iWeb, create a new test site, save the new domain file and close iWeb.
go to the your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
launch iWeb and try again.

Will the next version restore the very useful "Bookmark all tabs" option? This was the closest Firefox feature to Opera's "save session" option; I can't believe it was taken away.

Sometimes FF has crashed and lost its "memory" of the tabs I had opened. I want to have a backup in case that happens, so I know what tabs I had up and can restore them.

Some menu entries in the main menu bar are hidden if you use the mouse and only appear if you use the keyboard to open the menu (Bug 626825).
You can see the difference if you use Alt+F to open the File menu or other menus like the Edit menu (Alt+E) and Bookmarks menu (Alt+B) and compare that to what you see if you use the mouse to open the menu after you have made the menu bar visible by tapping Alt or by pressing F10.
* "Bookmark All Tabs" (Shift+Ctrl+D) no longer shows in the Bookmarks menu unless you open the Bookmarks menu via the keyboard (Alt + B).
* "Bookmark All Tabs" can be accessed via the right-click context menu of a tab on the tab bar.
* "Bookmark This Page" can be accessed via the right-click context menu of that browser page.

Preview PDF Tab Doesn't Work

I have two installations of Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro / LiveCycle Designer. The preview tab doesn't work on either installation for LiveCycle Designer.
My first machine is running XP Pro SP3 32-bit. When I click on the Preview PDF tab it previews, but I can't enter data into the fields when working on a static or dynamic pdf.
The other machine is running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. When I click on the Preview PDF tab it the machine tries to open the preview up in Adobe Reader, but never actually opens.
What should I check? Is there something I'm doing wrong?
Thanks,
Andy

I don't have the Windows 7 machine in front of me to test this on, but the XP machine behaves the same if I open up Reader or Acrobat before I click Preview PDF in LiveCycle.

Try Force Quitting Safari. You can access Force Quit either by clicking the Apple symbol in the upper right and choosing Force Quit or keyboard shortcut of Command - Option - Esc.
