Thank you for any quick responce

Hi, Kelisen!
Try holding down the mute key before starting up. If that doesn't work, try muting the sound before shutting down. Unfortunately, one has to remember to do this each time, if it works at all for you...
Here's a link to a freeware program designed to mute it for you:

Here's another. (Note that it's a haxie, installing a preference pane, which you might want to avoid):

I haven't personally used either of the above so I can't vouch for them.

Yesterday, a search tab comes on when I start firefox. How can I get rid of it?

I seldom use tabs, so the tab bar was always hidden. starting yesterday, when I opened firefox A search tab is present. A single tab is also present. The search tab is very similar to the search button on the right of the navigation bar. So it is redundant.
How can I get rid of this search tab?

Can you uninstall the "Default Tab" extension as that is considered malware and is causing this search bar? 
Otherwise just disable this extension.

Music (not mine) plays upon start up. How do I get rid of it?

Some music (sounds like from a slot machine) plays every time I startup Firefox. I've reinstalled the application, and replaced both the Firefox folder from the user's library Application Support folder and the org.mozilla.firefox.plist from the user's library preferences folder, using back ups from Time Machine. Still getting the music. Are there additional Firefox files I should try replcing? TIA for info...
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== 2-3 hours ago when I was surfing sites

Goto: Tools -> Options -> Content
See text: 'Load images automatically'
Click on the button Exceptions next to it, add: www.google.com.
Should fix it for now. Revert back in 24 hours when Google removes it. Because it's the Google homepage.

How do I get rid of annoying arcade game on new firefox start page?

Most recent update of Firefox plays an annoying arcade-type game on the start page. How can I get rid of it?

Heheh, it's Mozilla being cheerfully quirky on the Firefox page (you are talking about the Mozilla Firefox Start Page or "about:home", right?).
If so, Mozilla will be changing it with another image in the future; I don't know when, though. For now, you have a few options:
* Set Google/Bing/etc. as your homepage so that you won't see the Start Page when Firefox launches.
* Use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/stylish/?src=userprofile Stylish] extension to remove the image.
'''Using the Stylish Addon''':
# Click the Stylish icon > Write new Style > For this URL (as seen in the first image below)
# Create a style as seen in the second image (you can name it whatever you'd like, but <code>#brandLogo {   visibility: hidden; }</code> must be kept. This makes the arcade game invisible. If you'd like to remove it altogether, swap <code>visibility:hidden;</code> with <code>display:none;</code>.
Save your style. A few weeks later, you can check to see if the arcade game has been removed by Mozilla by disabling the Stylish style on the Start Page. I know it's not a straightforward fix, but it's the best I can do. :)
I hope that helped you!

When I open certain games and FaceTime I get this high pitched sqeal, how do I get rid of it?

When I open face time and some games I get I high pitched sqealling sound, how do I get rid of it, this is on my iPad Air.

Try turning down the volume on your iPad and see if it squeals. It kinda sounds like feedback, but I've never seen an ipad do that....but if the microphone and speaker are trying to listen and broadcast the same sound it often resolves in a squeal.

Firefox is starting in the 32 bit mode it says Firefox*32.. How can i get rid of this?

Firefox is starting in the 32 bit mode it says Firefox*32.. How can i get rid of this? Whenever i close Firefox and restart my computer it goes back to normal.There is also another problem associated with this which is that whenever Firefox is in 32 bit mod I listen to music the sound always comes unclear like clogged up.When i restart my computer its not 32 bit anymore the sound gets back to normal.I am using Windows 7.

Hi,
If 32-bit Firefox was installed, it will be always listed as such. If both 32-bit and 64-bit were installed, please make sure to start the correct one. Usually the 32-bit would be installed in '''Computer''' > '''?:\Program Files (x86)''' > '''Mozilla Firefox''', and the 64-bit in '''Computer''' > '''?:\Program Files'''. You can also type '''about:''' in the location bar and look in '''Build identifier:'''

I want to switch stores from Japan to USA. I used to have an iTunes card, and there's 15 YEN left in my account, how can I get rid of that so I can start purchasing in the US store using my new credit card?

I can't seem to find an app that costs my available balance. iTunes said I need to spend it ALL before I can change stores. This means I cannot totally change stores.... Hopeless.

Something called My Start has just appeared and it screws up everything. How can I get rid of it?

When I installed Firefox on my new computer, it came with a new thing called incredimail and My Start. It screwed up everything, making it impossible to restore my settings. I deleted Incredimail using the Control Panel but My Start continues to upload everytime I open Firefox. I can't find it in my list of programs or in my program file on my C drive. How do I get rid of the damn thing? Jim MacNeill

After uninstalling Incredimail (free) on my laptop, I also couldn't get rid of the MyStart search option. Waste many hours. Easy answer... Firefox home page... Firefox drop down menu on upper left... select help... select troubleshooting information... click on Reset Firefox! Voila! Problem gone!

I just started using a new version of Illustrator and the text I am creating has a pink box behind, looks to be about the depth of the normal linespace, it is not visible in outline view, only in preview. What is it and how do I get rid of it?

Hi Larry. I see. It is a file I have worked on previously, and the font is Myriad which I though came with the system. I just changed to Myriad Pro and the pink box disappeared. Thanks for the assistance, I know a new thing!

I hope it doesn't effect how I down load my itunes to my ipod and iphone.
No you should be fine. (The MobileMe service is being shut down, anyway, so there should be no impact at all.)

When i start a new email, it shows all of my old contacts. how do i get rid of the ones i dont want? they are not in my contacts info.

when i start a new email, it shows some of my old email addresses. how do i get rid of the ones i dont want? they are not in my contacts info.

Unfortunately the Mail app on the iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch does have the option to clear previous recipients. If you don't want to live with it, the only way to remove these cached email addresses from the Mail application is by restoring the iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch as a new iPad/iPhone/iPod. If you restore from backup, the cache is also restored.
This article shows you the screens you will see during the restore: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

How do I get rid of the start-up window?

I've just installed QuickTime, but when it started I was presented with a window full of advertising. I cannot find anything on the menu allowing me to disable that gross display. How can I get rid of this start-up headache? Thank you for any helpful advice you can render.

That does not work, actually. I've ben using QT PRo for ages, and ever since version 0, it NEVER saved or remembered my preferences. Once I set my preferences up, it does remember it for the current windows session. But once I restart my machine everything is back to square one. It's been like that for years, actually. This is very annoying sometimes. Makes you wonder if apple "engineers" know how to write code?
Windows XP Pro SP3 (long time ago SP1, SP2 currently SP3)
But years ago I used WinXP Home as well
QT Pro preferences were never saved or remembered.
