The "open a new tab" fails to open the tab, even though the action is highlighted on hovering

Most of my work is done with six open tabs. Often I want to look at something and try to "Open a new tab" on the right. This lights up but doesn't operate.
I'm using Windows 7 on a new-ish computer. The problem started a week ago. I regularly clear out 'trash'.

See the edmeisters reply at https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/786739#answer-140547
It worked for me. He said
Caused by the Ask Toolbar extension in Firefox 3.6.13, disable that extension or un-install it.

Hi- I have a new iPhone 5 and for some reason even though the time is set to EST, I keep getting calendar invitations for GMT, which means I am 5 hours out of whack. What's wrong?

Hi-
I have a new iPhone 5. For some reason, when I received messages they are showing up as the GMT time zone, even though the time on my phone is set to EST.
Anyone know how to change this?

When I open a new document in Pages, the text I type is white on a white background even though the default color is black. Can someone help?

When I open a new document in Pages, the text I type appears white instead of the default black color. I can highlight the text, once I find it, but it will not change to anything other than a light purple.

Those are the symptoms many users ran into with an early update to Snow Leopard that never was fixed in the updates available through Software Update & not having the iWork apps updated. The problem was not whether or not your system is the current version but how it got there. You must use the combo updater, not the one from Software Update unless it specifically states it is the combo. Software Update will only offer the combo if your system is two or more versions behind. Now that you're running Lion, this generally isn't a problem.
But making sure the iWork apps are updated is essential. If you're not running the latest versions of the iWork apps installed from a retail box or the downloaded trial & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. If you installed from the downloaded trial or the retail box, they must be in the iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.

My Mac is opening my doc in preview instead of Adobe. I loaded the latest version. It still opens in preview and I get a blank page even though the doc is there. How do I handle this?

How do I open a doc in adobe instead of preview? Three Imac people in a group all having the same problem. I was told to download the latest Adobe, which I did. I still cant view the document even though I downloaded it to read it. It keeps opening in Preview and shows up blank. Help!

Right click on the document and select Open with-Adobe Acrobat. Or right click on the document and select get info, go to the open with drop down menu and select Acrobat. If you want all documents of that type to open with Acrobat check the box.

Some of the images are not showing up on my Blogger blog even though the HTML is there. They do show up in Opera.

Here is the link to the blog post -

Three days ago I went to a post from last year and an image was gone. The code was there but not the image.
It doesn't get rid of all the images just certain ones and they are consistently gone. It is not a random deletion of images.
I have had images not show up on other blogger sites.

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Images_or_animations_do_not_load
It is possible that you clicked "Block Images" in the right click context menu while trying to save an image.
Check the image exceptions: Tools > Options > Content: Load Images: Exceptions 
See [[Options window - Content panel]]
*A way to see which images are blocked is to click the favicon (Site Identification icon) on the left side of the location bar.
*A click on the "More Information" button will open the Security tab of the "Page Info" window (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
*Open the Media tab of the "Page Info" window.
*Select the first image and scroll down though the list with the Down arrow key.
*If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "Block Images from..." then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

The built in screen in my Macbook keeps blacking out, even though the computer is on.

Hi
The internal screen on my Macbook keeps blacking out; when this happens the computer is still on - just no screen. This happens when unplugged after a few seconds, and takes a bit longer when plugged in.
If I close the lid and open it again the screen works again for a few seconds before the blackout returns. Obviously this is not the ideal work scenario!
It does not appear that this is a backlight issue (I presume) as I cannot see any image on the screen when this happens from any angle.
If I turn the brightness all the way down and then back up again the screen flicks on for a fraction of a second before anything happens again.
Any ideas what might be causing this? If I can fix it? And/or how much an Apple repair of the problem is likely to cost.
Many thanks for your help!

Unfortunately it sounds like the logic board... happened on a MB I have at work. That's an Apple Store replacement, and can be expensive if your mac's out of warranty. Free if it's still covered...

Photoshop Elements 12 is failing to add the jpg extension to file names when I "save as" even though the jpg format is selected in the drop-down list

I've just been following my normal workflow and all of a sudden my saved files don't have the jpg extension. I'm not having this problem in other photo editing software I use. I haven't changed any settings. Anybody else have this problem?

The Local Settings folder is a hidden folder.
(1) If the file appears in the Downloads manager (Tools menu or Ctrl+j), you can right-click it and use Open Containing Folder to get directly to it.
(2) To be able to see hidden folders on Windows XP in general, try this:
Open My Computer or Windows Explorer
Tools > Folder Options > View tab
Scroll down and look for the checkbox regarding hidden files and folders and unhide them.
Hopefully this will resolve the issue. Any luck?
(3) By the way, you may be able to save the images from the email message to a more convenient location by right-clicking the links and using Save Link As. (Before you open them for editing.)

The track list on an album is out of order, even though the numbers are correct. How do I fix this?

I bought a couple of songs off an album a few months ago. Last night, I decided to buy the rest of the album, but when I look at my library, the songs are out of order. I've attached a screenshot of the album below.
The first four songs are out of order, I need to know how to put them in order.

I've run into this in the past and the best method I've come across to fix this issue is to highlight all the songs in the album (in this case Disc 1) and press Command + I to edit the metadada. In the edit box, I make sure everything is Disc 1 of 1, and then add a space to the end of the Album title, click ok, then go back and remove the space. Doing this seems to force iTunes to refresh the info displayed, whereas not changing the album's title sometimes leaves things as is.

Mail is automatically downloading from our Earthlink POP account even though the account is set to "manual."

We have a new MacBook Pro with Mavericks. The mail is automatically downloading from our Earthlink POP account even though the account is set to "manual."
Is there another way to stop Mail from automatically downloading? Is there another setting in Notifications or some other place I'm missing?
(We'd rather check for spam and delete online where we can just check off boxes and hit delete than download and then have to look at each message to delete.)
Many thanks!

You can put an account into Offline mode by clicking on the account and selecting " Take "EarthLink" Offline"

I'm trying to reset my password on the iPad and apple says it has sent me an email, but I don't receive it, even though the address is good.

I somehow seem to have changed the Apple id password on my iPad and don't know what it is. When I try to reset it, I'm given the option of having Apple get in touch with me by email. I click on this choice and Apple says the email has been sent - but I never receive it, even though the address is valid. The other option is to answer two questions preceded by entering my birthdate. I know the answers to the questions, but must have entered my birthdate incorrectly when I set up the account. To make a long story short, I can't sign in to iCloud on the iPad and can't figure a way out of this dilemma.

Your password was sent to your emergency email address. Perhaps you have an email you never use? I use the free email from my cable TV account as my emergency email.
Your Apple account and cloud account are separate. You could even have completely different user and password. Most of us use the same user ID and password, but they are not the same thing, don't mix them up.
If you can't retrieve emergency email, you will have to call apple support.

When I open a new site, it replaces a current tab instead of creating a new tab -- what should I do to correct this problem?

Until today, whenever I went to a new website, a new tab would be created on the toolbar. Today, everytime I open a new site, it replaces a current tab with a tab for the new site.

Are you using a bookmark? There is a little-known feature of bookmarks that can load them in Firefox's sidebar. This allows you to work with two pages side-by-side. To change that setting, right-click the bookmark > Properties, then uncheck the box for "Load this bookmark in the sidebar".
(You probably didn't set this yourself. If you use a link on a website to have the site add a bookmark to Firefox, due to restrictions on what sites can do, those will always be targeted toward the sidebar.)
If that's not it, have you noticed any pattern in when this happens?

Help! CC cloud name different to App on computer, new app fails to open on Mac 10.3.3

Help! CC cloud name different to App on computer, new app fails to open on Mac 10.3.3Keeps saying it is up to date, but won't work

ok...i'm not sure how at all...but, a couple hours have passed since i posted this and while i was hoping someone would reply i was finishing up some old work on my old, extremely slow emac. anyways, i decided to go ahead and try to install leopard again from the normal standard method. (which is just clicking the icon once the leopard install window comes up). Guess what? now it's 50% into the installation!! i don't want to count my chickens before they hatch...especially after some of the discussions i've read about leopard so far...but, i'm hopeful
who knows how...i'm clueless and it doesn't make much sense to me. but, i'll come back and let anyone who cares know how the install went.
note for anyone with similar problems:
another strange fix to the 'leopard dvd ejecting on install' is to let the dvd chill in the drive for a couple hours...then try it again. HAHAHAHAHA!!!! worked for me

Are you sure, Eugene? I have this option:

When i open a new site it always opens up on the side in a narrow window

I used to click on a site and it would always open up in the full screen. Now when I open a new site it always opens up in a narrow window on the left, 1/5th the size of the full screen, and continues to maintain the previous site in the remainder of the screen (4/5ths). The only way I can create the new site on the full screen is by dragging it over to the 4/5ths screen and then x'g out the narrow one on the left. Why is this happening and how do I eliminate it so that each time I open a new site it will open on the full screen?
Thank you in advance.

I am having problems when i have minimized windows and try to open a new window it will open all minimized windows along with the new window. It just changed when mozzilla updated. It did not do this before the update. Before the update if i had minimized windows they would stay minimized when i opened a new window. Please help ,I would guess it is just a setting somewhere but i cannot figure out where the setting is. Thanks jason

This issue can be caused by the ASK.com Toolbar.
