Sometime I search a pdf file in google, but when I right click on the link and choose "save link as" or "download with IDM" it says that the target is url (html extension) and save a webpage file. It happens with firefox 4 and there's no problem in IE.

it happens for both Adobe Acrobat and Foxit phantom.

First, I sent an email to the author of PhotoME to inform him of the serious issues his addon caused with Firefox latest versions.
Now, for those of you who do not have the PhotoME addon and yet experience the same problem that I had and that I described above, I suggest the following strategy.
As PhotoME did cause these problems with Firefox latest versions, I am pretty covinved other addons probably might cause these problems too. Therefore, adopt the following method.
Test one addon at a time to see if this particular addon is behind your Firefox issues like the ones I had.
So, disable one addon only at a time. Then close your Firefox and restart it from scratch and see if you still have your Firefox problems. You must restart the Firefox browser from scratch. If you still have these Firefox problems, re-enable the disabled addon, restart your Firefox (again!) and repeat the same method for every single addon that you have.
Try to be selective by choosing first addons that are more likely to cause your Firefox problems such as not very well-known or not very popular addons (like it was the case for the PhotoME addon).
If this method works or if it does not work, report it on this web page so that others can be helped with your comments.
I hope this method will help you because I was really upset that I had these Firefox problems and I first thought it was the fault of Firefox, only to discover later that this PhotoME addon was the culprit and had caused me such upset.

I bought the Keynote app for my MacBook, but when I open the application and try to install it, I get an error message saying that the application will not work with my MacBook. What gives? And, can I please request a refund? ($19.99 = a week's groceries)

I bought the Keynote app for my MacBook, but when I open the application and try to install it, I get an error message saying that the application will not work with my MacBook. What gives? And, can I please request a refund? ($19.99 = a week's groceries).
Thank you for your help! - I did try looking for all available specs about Keynote on the Apple iTunes website, and found nothing that could help me. HELP!

1
Close all iWork applications
2
Uninstall Keynote; this must be done with an application remover tool to delete the installation properly. Appcleaner is known to work correctly for this purpose, it is free and can be downloaded from here: Appcleaner Download
3
empty the trash
4
shutdown the Mac and restart. After the start up chime, hold down the shift key until the apple logo appears
let the Mac complete the start up procedure completely, it will take longer than usual as the hard drive is being repaired
5
Reinstall Keynote by logging into the Mac App Store using download / install

You must also disable iTunes Match on the iPhone.

Hi, I can't sync my Mac Book Air and iPhone5 calendars. I get a message from iTunes saying that the sync server failed to sync iPhone. Any explanations and/or solutions? Thanks.

What can I do to sync Mac Book Air and iPhone 5 calendars if the iTunes message says that 'the sync server failed to sync iPhone'?
Thanks,
Julian

Read the KB. Earlier today I had a fail to sync - I closed my Calendar app and the reopened and all was good.
Sometimes just closing the app the relaunching is all it takes. At other times a reboot of the Mac is all that is needed.

Every time Firefox opened

Hello.
It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
If the problem is not disappears when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.
Also, remember that you can simply middle-click any link or interface button to open it in a new tab. Middle-click is the mouse wheel, just press it down. Or the middle button of the mouse, if you have one of those. Of course, there may only be two keys, and middle-click may be impossible, but just so you know, middle-clicking links is the faster way, and how everyone does it, basically.

I like to play games on facebook and for some reason I keep getting an error message saying that the shockwave player and flash player has crashed I use firefox could someone please give me step by step instructions to fix this issue?

I have Windows 8.1, my adobe player is the most updated version also.... hope this helps

Yeah, Firefox and Flash Player isn't a super stable combination on Windows 8.1 at the moment. We're collaborating closely with Mozilla to improve that, but that effort is going to happen over several months.
In the meantime, you might want to take a look at the other options. Microsoft invested a lot of time and effort into making the Flash experience on Win8.1 really good in IE, as did Google with Chrome.

My menu bar is missing but when I right click in the top section and see all of the toolbars the menu bar has a check by it but does not appear. Hitting alt does not make it appear either...any ideas?

See above

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

Firefox isn't your "server" or your ISP. Contact whoever you pay for internet access - Comcast, AT&T, Net-Zero, etc.

Firefox will not open and it will not let me uninstall it because it says that the program is in use; however it will not open. What do I do?

When I click on the shortcut for the program it does not load. When I attempted to fix the problem, everything tells me that firefox is currently open when in fact (as far as I can tell) it is not.

There is 3 of the same app on my dock that won't go away after trying to remove from dock, close app and even delete the app. I can't restart my mac either because it says that the app won't close. Please help!

Press command + option + esc keys together at the same time.
Wait.
When Force Quit window appears, select the application if not already.
Press Force Quit button at the bottom of the window.
Wait.
Application will quit.
If this does not help, press the power button for 7 or more seconds.
Computer will shut down.

Where is PLIST to "OPEN WITH" when you right click on a file ?

When I right click on a file to open it using the "OPEN WITH" command it shows two or three of the SAME applications. For example it shows preview, preview, and preview if I right click on a picture on my desktop. These are ghost icons that all open the same version of preview.
I think a plist file is messed up but what one takes care of the 'OPEN WITH' command when you right click on an icon?
I would like a few opinions of possible or any ideas.
These started after I cloned my hard drive. I cloned it with three different applications and all produce the same results.
Thanks

red_menace you are Not a menace. You are a genius. It fixed my problem!
I put this code in the terminal:
/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/\Frameworks/LaunchServi ces.framework/Support/lsregister \-kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
Then press return. Wait until terminal returns to the command line. Quit Terminal. After that, log out and back in or restart.
IT WAS FIXED!!!
THANKS A MILLION!!

When I right click on an Item to copy and pasdte it the Copyt button on my mouse does not work with firefox, it works everywhere else...I highlight an item andt

I have tried all the solutions so far. they did not change the outcome. My right mouse will not show the copy command. I am getting the drop down menu when I right click and I can highlight words but when I right click to copy and paste the copy does not work... it was working fine until I did the last update for foxfire.. I have 22.0 version

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
<b> To Enable SafeMode </b>
*You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
*''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox"; Linux: "Firefox/File > Quit")

I am trying to open PDF files from safari, but when I click on them they open in a separate window and the information is encrypted. Any ideas on how to get them to open them in Adobe? Any help please!

The pdf is loading as html code. If you save it, it will download as :

Change the extension to .pdf
And it opens and works perfectly, I just tested it:
Use this link to download it automatically:

Sometime I search a pdf file in google, but when I right click on the link and choose "save link as" or "download with IDM" it says that the target is url (html extension) and save a webpage file. It happens with firefox 4 and there's no problem in IE.
