There seems to be a problem between my Eudora on my Mac OSX in that when I click on a link in an e-mail, more and more of them only result in the message "Url is not syntactically valid" and cannot make a connection to the websites.

This seems to be an increasing problem and is occurring between e-mails and company websites which used to function properly. I used to think it was the fault of the website in not making a connection. But now it is occurring in e-mails which used to be successful, so I think it is a problem with Firefox.

This?

I had Adobe 9 Standard on the old. But what downloads from the page http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-8-9-product-downloads.html is Adobe 9 Pro. Perhaps this Pro version is the problem.
Anyway, can you point me to a way to install Adobe on my new PC?

My Time Capsule expired and no longer works. My printer (a HP) will now not work as it still wishes to connect through the Time Capsule. It will not allow itself be recognised through a USB connection to my Mac. Anyone got any ideas?

My Time Capsule expired and no longer works. My printer (a HP) will now not work as it still wishes to connect through the Time Capsule. It will not allow itself be recognised through a USB connection to my Mac. Anyone got any ideas?

You will need to install the printer on your Mac
Open System Preferences (gear icon) on the dock
Open Print & Fax
Click the + (plus) button at the bottom of the printer list
Wait for your printer to appear in the next box, then click it to highlight it
Click Add at the lower right
Be sure to select the correct printer when you try to print as you will see your printer listed twice. Good idea to make the printer now installed on your Mac the default printer so you do not have to choose which printer to use each time you want to print.
You can also go into Print & Fax, select the printer associated with the Time Capsule and click the - (minus) button if you want to delete that location.

How can I get my stereo to play music videos from my Ipod Nano? It comes up with the message "This device not supported". Strangely my Iphone IS recognised. The stereo, Ipod, and Iphone are less than 4 months old. Any suggestions welcome!

How do I get my Ipod to play music videos through my theatre system? I keep getting the message "This device not supported". My theatre system WILL recognise my Iphone however. The theatre system, Ipod, and Iphone are all less than 4 months old. Any suggestions welcome!

Check with the theater system vendor and see if their system is compatible with the Nano. The resolution on the Nano may be too low for the system.

Why the message " ... not a valid PDF document ..."?

Am using PSE 9 on a Mac OS 10.7 when suddenly an error message started appearing 3 (and more) times in a row every time I tried to edit a photo. (I had been editing 100's of photos with no problem.) Now, even if I just open up Elements with no photo, the message appears 4 times before I get to the blank workspace. All I can do is click "OK" however many times the message appears. Have no idea why PSE thinks I'm trying to edit a PDF file.

One thing I tried to do was go back to my Time Machine backup and restore PSE from several days before, when I knew it had worked fine.
Oh dear. You made a huge problem for yourself. You can never, never do that with PSE. PSE is not a nice tidy package in accordance with the apple developer guidelines. You must always reinstall from scratch if you need to reinstall. You broke PSE when you did that. Now you will need to download and run this:
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html
Then manually remove the PSE folder from applications and hunt around on your hard drive for the other bits that you can find. Look especially in your hard drive>library. Remove all of those, too, then reinstall from the original media.
You may think you have a slight problem now, but I guarantee you will have a HUGE problem soon if you don't do this.

How do I make it the default that when I click on a link it will open in a new tab?

Particularly when I am doing a Google search, but also when I am in a site, I find I frequently have to right click and force 'open in a new tab' to avoid the link overriding the current tab. I want to have all links I click on automatically open in a new tab. My settings are set to go to the new tab immediately - that works fine - but too often I have to immediately back-page and re-click using the right-click menu to avoid losing my search or origin page. This is annoying when there are several links I want to explore, and have to backtrack to get to them.
Firefox is my default browser, 29.0.1 at the moment, and it runs on an old Dell laptop using WinXP. Before asking this I did check the available support info without finding an answer. I followed the instructions in the article about Google and the about:config but it did no good - it still defaults to opening in the current tab. It might seem like a small thing but in my search for answers I saw some folks who have the reverse problem - they want links to open in the same tab - so clearly it is a settings issue. How do I fine tune mine to get the result I prefer? Thanks!!

Google search and other websites have a user preference that can be set to open a search result in a new tab or a new window, for users who are logged in to their website.
Otherwise, when you don't have a 3-button mouse or a scroll pad with "middle-click" functionality, you can use '''{Ctrl + Click}''' to open a hyperlink in a new Tab.

'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* 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 the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

Is there a way to control where a web page opens on my desktop when I click on a link in my email (Mail)?

So while I'm reading my emails, I get a lot of Twitter notifications. I like to just click on the Twitter link & keep on reading mail until I get to the end. But sometimes the Twitter web page opens right over the top of my Mail page. It's not a big deal, but I get a lot of these, so over the course of time it's a big waste of time to keep moving the web pages over to keep reading my emails.
Is there a way for me to determine where on my desktop the new web pages open when I click on links?

Not sure if that can be done but you can press the Expose key which will show all open windows.

Firefox cannot make a connection to the internet but EI does.

Whenever Firefox is opened I get a window that says "Unable to connect, Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at (whatever website I trying to get on)"

https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Cannot%20connect%20after%20upgrading%20Firefox

On Firefox I get The requested URL could not be retrieved On Internet explorer it works What is wrong?

While trying to retrieve the URL: http://www.google.com.au/
The following error was encountered:
* Unable to forward this request at this time.
This request could not be forwarded to the origin server or to any parent caches. The most likely cause for this error is that:

It could be a firewall or other security software blocking the access for Firefox - if you use the default Windows Firewall in XP, you can find help in article [[Configuring Windows Firewall]].
If you use a 3rd party security program, you could look for help with configuration in our KB articles (use yellow Search box on right side of this page - search on provider, like Norton, AVG, F-Secure), or post the name here and we'll help you find relevant link(s).

J2ee connection error, "The Message Server did not respond within 60 sec"

Hi,
I am facing the error "The Message Server did not respond within 60 sec. Please check if the message server is running.." when connecting to J2ee through NWDS.
I am able to reach the index page via http://<ip address>:53500/index.html but yet unable to reach through NWDS.
I have tried various combinations of host and port names like:
Message Server Host : <ip address>, <host name>
Message Server Port : 3636, 3936
but still no luck.
I've also cross checked the value of message server port by navigating to http://<IP address>:53500/monitoring/SystemInfo too, it is 3636.
The telnet test (telnet <ip address> <port Number>) draws a blank window.
I know this problem has been posted again and again, but then I am unable to understand what is the solution to this.
Can someone please help me in resolving this issue?
Note: [link 1|Unable to Connect to the J2EE Server from Netweaver Developer Studio; & [link 2|Developer Studio:Exception:The message server did not respond within 60 sec; are already checked.

Hi Robin,
Although I still haven't received any info from my colleagues regarding the central instance..
Just a quick query, if we have NW04 we use 36** and if it is NW04S then we use 39** , is this the only difference for message server port?
If that is the case, as I mentioned earlier, I have tried both, and one gave me N/A(3936) while the other gave me 'message server did not respond' error(3636).
I have the message server host name & port , Enqueue Server Host name & Port and SDM PID and Port details with me..
Can this be anyway useful in establishing a connection?
Waiting for your inputs...
Best Regards,
Vinay

When I click on a link in Thunderbird, Firefox 4 starts, but just shows the home page, not the page I clicked for

When I click on a link in an email in Thunderbird, Firefox 4 starts, but only shows the home page(s) not the page of the link

I think i've found how to fix this issue when it appears. Don't know what caused it to happen, but that's up to the devs.
In Thunderbird, you need to re-register http and https to make them open with Firefox (or open well with firefox in this case).
How to to this?
Well... open the about:config in thunderbird. You can achieve this by clicking configuration-editor in the advanced tab.
search for the strings: network.protocol-handler.warn-external.https and network.protocol-handler.warn-external.http. Set both to "true".
The next time you click on a link from within Thunderbird, it will ask you to set wich program you'd like to open it with.
Be Aware now!!! Firefox may already be listed in there, but don't pick that one. instead... choose to browse for the app and point to the binairy/exe of firefox.
(for example: /usr/bin/firefox or c:/program files/mozilla/firefox.)
You will notice that firefox now does open up with the page you just clicked on.
If it doesn't right away... just restart thunderbird and check again.
Please respond if this works for you too on all platforms. It's more interesting to know it does than if it's not.
Greetz,
Kenny

To repeat my question, Apple offered to install iCloud, and I allowed it. Yet when I try to sign in to iCloud using my Apple ID email and pswrd--an ID that I've been using for YEARS--I'm given the message, "This Apple ID is valid but is not an iCloud account." What is going on?
Everywhere I search on Apple's Support site says to sign in to iCloud using your "Apple ID," which I did. I've had my iTunes account for years (even migrated from the old AOL account system). It's the standard email+password that everyone is supposed to use.
My main question is how can I have a valid Apple ID and not an iCloud account--if the two are supposed to be linked?
Thank you for any help you can give me!
tlj

I've tried both. First, I tried on my pc, where iTunes had installed iCloud when it last updated. I have iTunes installed on this computer (and on my iPad and iPhone), but that wasn't the issue.
So I went online, thinking I needed a separate iCloud Apple ID, but it prompted me for my current Apple ID and gave me the message about my ID being "valid" but not an iCloud account," which, lol, was what it had asked me to do in order to create one. I checked, and at least one other user is having the same issue. I'll attempt to copy/paste the Support request url: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4430653?tstart=0
Thank you for any help you can give.
