Spellcheck dictionary doesn't even have "firefox"!

You'd think the built-in dictionary used for spell-checking in firefox would contain the word firefox!

I guess you're right, I should write Firefox, not firefox.
I like the spell-checker in thunderbird better because you can add a word to your personal copy of the dictionary with one click.

I got my screen fixed and the day i got my ipod touch 4th gen back the wifi doesnt work unless i hold it right up to my router. Roughly every foot I move back it loses a bar and if i leave the room it doesn't even have a signal completely.

I got my screen fixed and the day i got my ipod touch 4th gen back the wifi doesnt work unless i hold it right up to my router. Roughly every foot I move back it loses a bar and if i leave the room it doesn't even have a signal completely. Could the screen replacement have tampered with the wifi capability? Also if it helps I switched internet providers and during the time when my ipod was being fixed a new router was installed and it doesnt seem to work unless directly infront of my ipod.

Take it back to where you had the screen replaced. They messed up the connection to the wifi antenna

With iOS 4, the only way to update your software is connected to iTunes. OTA (over the air) updates were not available until iOS 5. You will need to connect your iPhone to a computer and use iTunes to download and install the iOS updates on your iPhone (at least until your iOS version is 5.0 or higher).

HT4623 My iPhone 4s doesn't even have the software update tab in the settings. What am I supposed to then?

My iPhone 4s won't update somebody please help.it doesn't even have the software update tab in the settings.

That is only a feature of iOS 5 or later...
If you have iOS 4... See Here...

Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and “ Check for Updates “...

My sound buttons keep stopping working and when I click onto a video it doesn't even have the little slider that you use to turn the volume up. What is wrong with my phone?

My sound buttons on my iPhone 4S keep stopping working, even wen I use the switch to turn my phone on loud it comes up and as soon as I hit a volume button it disappears! Also when I am on a video on Facebook etc the volume slider isn't there?

You need to re install OSX. If you have the dmg file downloaded via torrentz this is how you can create a bootable external HD or Flash drive (8 GB+)

I updated my 3GS. It goes through the updating process then at the end a box pops up that says my phone is in recovery mode and cant finish. My phone has lost everything and doesn't even have the home screen just the iTunes symbol. What can I do?????

I updated my 3GS to the latest OS. iTunes was updated first, when iTunes finishes updating my phone a box pops up that says my phone is in recovery mode so I click the update button and it goes the whole update cycle again. I unplugged my phone after 4 cycles of updating but now there is NOTHING on my phone, not even the home screen just the itunes symbol . I've tried rebooting my phone but there is still nothing there. HELP!!!!! What can I do

sounds like your phone was jailbroken.

When my iphone is connected to my Mac and I open iTunes, I can't find my photos. Even the drop down menu doesn't even have an entry for photos. I have music, books, movies, etc...but nothing for photos. Where did it go?!

Here is a screen shot of all my options when I open iTunes.

Hey NFredrick45208,
Thanks for the question. This drop down menu is actually specific to your local library. You'll want to select your iPhone in the upper right corner to browse the device:
iOS: Syncing your data with iTunes

Furthermore, you may want to turn on the iTunes Sidebar to return to the layout of previous versions:
iTunes 11 for Mac: Customize the iTunes window
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12164
Use the Sidebar to access your content, devices, and the iTunes Store
You might want to show the Sidebar if, for example, you use a screen reader.
Choose View > Show Sidebar.
And finally, here is an article about importing your personal photos:

Yahoo Email and Calendar will sync to my iPhone, but Contacts will not. Selection for "Default Account" doesn't even show in the Contacts section within Settings on the iPhone.

I have always had my Yahoo Email, Calendar and Contacts synched to my iPhone. However, I noticed some Contacts weren't synching from the Yahoo account to my iPhone, so I thought if I just deleted the Yahoo account and added it back, I'd be fine. That worked fine for my Email and Calendar, but now I have NO Contacts from Yahoo on my iPhone. When I go to Settings, under Contacts, it doesn't even have the option for 'Default Account.' Help!

Hello Marsha,

My iTunes keeps opening/popping up randomly and disrupting computer function. I do not even have wireless, so that is not the solution.

The only answers I have seen to this issue are to "disconnect the wireless," but my computer doesn't even have a wireless adapter (I use ethernet only). What is the solution to this really annoying issue??

Who changed my Firefox spellchecker dictionary?

Well, tonight I finally found the answer to something that's been puzzling me for months ... but that answer raises a further question.
Some time ago, I noticed that when I posted to Facebook, my writings were getting spellchecked for what appeared to be British English (oh, BTW, I'm American). For example, if I typed "color," or "aluminum," the word would be red-squiggly-underlined, but not so for "colour" or "aluminium." I thought it was a Facebook feature (or bug), but tonight I noticed the same thing was happening with my e-mail. So I realized it must be something on my system. So I checked my environment variables, and found:
$ echo $LC_ALL
$ echo $LC_MESSAGES
$ echo $LANG
en_US.utf8
... pretty much as it should be. Then I went to about:config in Firefox, and lo and behold, spellchecker.dictionary was set to en_ZW. Oh. Zimbabwean English?! And supposedly, this was a "user set" value. So I'm wondering how this might have happened. Yes, it's conceivable I might have done it--that I was just playing around one night. But I have no memory of having done so. And, yeah, I'm 50 years old and usually don't get enough sleep, so who knows? But I certainly have no good reason to use Zimbabwean English, and as far as I can recall it never occurred to me until tonight that such a dialect existed.
So if it wasn't me, then who? My wife certainly wouldn't have known how to do that, nor would it be like her to play a joke like that. My 11-year-old son? Hmm. I could see him doing that kind of thing, but I don't think he knows how.
Okay then, maybe somebody hacked into my system? Not impossible, but it would be kind of strange if they hacked in just to change my dictionary setting. Remember, this has been happening for several months, and I haven't noticed anything else unusual.
So, my question is, other than me or someone impersonating me logging into my system and changing that parameter, is there any other way it could have happened?

http://www.archlinux.org/news/initscrip … -required/ maybe? Not that I see how it would be possible but if Zimbabwe invaded US ... ;-)

I have to re-install adobe flash for firefox every time i start my computer even if firefox shows that my adobe flash is working it does not.I also get notices from the websites i visit (get flash e.t.c.)

i have the latest firefox 10.02 in win7 and even if firefox shows is installed my adobe flash is not working so i have to run the flash installer every time i start my pc.After this everything works fine until the next start when i have to run the flashinstaller again

There are two versions of the Flash Player plugin. One is ActiveX and only works in IE. It sounds like you have that one installed. The other one works in all other browsers.
What seems to be happening is that you have security software that's blocking one of those versions of Flash/restoring your computer state and so it gets uninstalled when you start your computer. The other possibility is that there are permission issues. Unfortunately, this isn't something that Firefox can control; it's a problem with the Flash installation (Firefox is dumb and just looks in the registry for a list of installed plugins to load).
Make sure that you're an admin on your computer when you try to install Flash and that you check your security settings. If that doesn't work, try posting to the [http://forums.adobe.com/community/flashplayer Adobe community forums] to see if other people have had similar issues and know how to address them.

After adding plug-ins to block ads, my firefox no longer opens--it hangs/freeze--i have tried to restart, even deleted firefox and downloaded a new version--to no avail! please advise--

Last night I aded a few plug-ins to block ads including Google's--after restarting my computer (Mac OS X 10.6.8), my firefox no longer opened, i.e. it hangs/freeze when I open it--I have tried to restart, open in safe mode, even deleted firefox altogether and downloaded a new version, to no avail! Please advise! I have been trying to revive Firefox for hours today--

Hey rumon,
Have you tried starting Firefox in Safe Mode? Hold down "option" while Firefox is starting up. If the crash doesn't happen in Safe Mode, you should read [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]].
There is also a lot of useful stuff in the [[Firefox crashes]] Knowledge Base article. If you've recently upgraded, you might want to check out [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/latest-firefox-issues#w_firefox-crashes-when-i-start-it this article] as well.
Hopefully this helps!
