User account control message displays every time, minimise and close buttons not displaying, pages slow to load

Every time I try to open a page, I get a user account control message asking for permission to proceed. I have tried to adjust the frequency of this but have been unsuccessful. This has only started to occur recently.
Pages are slow to load and do not properly display the close, minimise etc buttons in the top right corner (these are blacked out)
I have tried to reset firefox. This does not fix the problem.
The problem does not occur using Internet Explorer

There are several things to try.
Some problems occurs when your Internet security program was set to trust the
previous version of Firefox, but no longer recognizes your updated version as
trusted. Now how to fix the problem: To allow Firefox to connect to the Internet
again;
* Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (i.e. you are running the latest version)
* Remove Firefox from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs, then add it back. For detailed instructions, see

RSS, Back and Slideshow buttons not displaying correctly

I just finished my new wesite in Iweb and published it to .mac. Everything is working fine in Iweb but when I look at the published site the RSS, Subscribe, Back buttons are displaying really screwy. There are added buttons where I didn't put them. How can I fix this? It is occurring specifically on my photo album pages.
Janer

Publish your site to and folder on the desktop and double click the index.html file to launch your site in the browser.
If the page looks OK do a "Publish all to Mac".
If its still not right you'll have to go back to the iWeb page and try resetting the buttons and then do a Publish All.

ITunes & User Account Control In Windows 7 64 Bit

I have an iPod Touch 5G, and a PC running Windows 7 64 bit. The latest Windows 64 bit iTunes with the latest update that was released a few days ago is installed. When the PC starts, a warning screen appears asking if I want to allow iTunes to run. This is the iTunes Helper app that wants to open first and stay resident so that if I plug in my iPod Touch it will be recognized and open iTunes as designed.
Yes, on the summary pane in iTunes, the “Open iTunes when this iPod is attached” option is checked and so is the option for connecting via wireless.
The only way to prevent this is to turn off User Account Control for the entire PC which of course should not be necessary if iTunes was working as designed with the proper certificates installed.
I have removed iTunes, Bonjour and the two other Apple apps that appear in Control Panel >Programs, then re-installed the iTunes Win7 64 bit file as administrator.
It's installed as the administrator and the only user on the PC, hence by default I am the administrator. I have also clicked on Properties for iTunes, Run as Administrator, but the UAC warning screen will still appear every single time I boot the PC.
How do I get iTunes to be properly recognized so that Windows doesn’t detect it as a rouge program trying to gain access that it’s not entitled to.
Furthermore, this also prevents me from drag & dropping songs from Explorer to iTunes. The only way I can drag & drop songs from Explorer to iTunes is to turn UAC off completely.This is a feature that is explained in the instructions as a means of linking songs from your Explorer folders so they reflect in iTunes.
This appears to have been an issue since 2010 as others have experienced it also, so hopefully by now the procedure for resolving it must have surfaced.

Quicktime does NOT start
Many thanks.
In recent times, the error-message-free iTunes and QuickTime launch failures have been indicating that another application has stashed old QuickTime componentry in your system files.
So just in case we'll go looking for older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
First we'll need to change some view settings.
In your Start menu, open Computer.
In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
Click OK.
Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
Open the "Windows" folder.
Open the "SysWOW64" folder.
What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

I would like to know why I have to go through the User Account Control every time I try to open a document

Actually the question speaks for itself.every time I try to do something I get the User Account Control asking permission to open the filewith Adobe Acrobat. I'm logged in as an administrator so it shouldn't be a problem

Hey dennisl37605729,
Could you please let me know what version of Acrobat and OS are you using.
There might be a chance that you do not have access to specific folders on your system. So try this:
Right-click on the Acrobat icon and choose 'Run as administrator' option from the context menu.
Let me know if this helps.
Regards,
Anubha

Every time I try to open Firefox, my User Account Control asks if I want to allow Firefox to make changes to my computer.

Every time I try to open Firefox, my User Account Control asks if I want to allow Firefox to make changes to my computer. It never did this before until my brother messed while trying to download something for a printer. I uninstalled, then reinstalled it, hoping it would fix this, but it didn't. How do I fix this?

Check that you do not run Firefox as Administrator.
Right-click the Firefox desktop shortcut and choose "Properties".
In the Compatibility tab, make sure that Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" is not selected.
You also need to check the Properties of the firefox.exe program in the Firefox program directory.

How do I rid the User Account Control - "Do you want the following program to make changes to this computer?" - FireFox Helper pop-up that shows after every log in?

The following pop-up is displayed after every log-in, even after it is clicked yes after previous log-ins. Several students log-in the computers daily. How do I rid THIS?:

In Windows 7, Microsoft updated UAC in several ways. By default, UAC does not prompt when certain programs included with Windows make changes requiring elevated permissions. Other programs still trigger a UAC prompt. The strictness of UAC can be changed to either always prompt, or to never do so.

How to I get rid of pop up user account control "do you want to allow the following program to make changes to your computer" I have windows 7 professional.

I keep getting an annoying pop up the says "User Account Control" "Do you want to allow the following program to make changes to your computer"
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Two days after I downloaded Firefox and set as my default browser.

Check that you do not run Firefox as Administrator.
Right-click the Firefox desktop shortcut and choose "Properties".
In the Compatibility tab, make sure that Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" is not selected.
You also need to check the Properties of the firefox.exe program in the Firefox program directory.
If you can't make the changes then you need to start Windows Explorer as Administrator.

When I click on the icon to start firefox, the screen dims and I get this question in a dialogue box from User Account Control....."Do you want to allow the following program to make changes to this computer"

Every time I start firefox

WWhy does User Account Control come upwhen I click on Firefox logo?

I have Windows 7. For the past 2 weeks when I go to Firefox on my window the User Account Control comes up and asks "Do you want to allow the following program to make changes to this computer?"
I say yes. This happens every time I click on to Firefox logo. How can I avoid this fom happening?

Hi zamler, sorry for the unrelated reply.
I'm not sure what causes that...
If you right-click the icon > Properties > Compatibility tab, can you make sure that "Run this program as an administrator" is not checked?

Java User Account Control Problem

I am running Windows 7 Home Premium edition on an Acer 64-Bit Netbook using Firefox 3.6.10 with Java script enabled. I am logged on as the Administrator.
I installed Java jre-6u22-windows-i586-s.exe and it works fine. However, I have discovered one quirk. When I access a Web page in Firefox that uses Java it works fine. However, if I click on a Java Web page link in an e-mail in Outlook 2010 it asks if I want to run Java. I click Yes or No and then Firefox opens the Web page. Likewise, if I attempt to print from a Web page that uses Java I get the UAC message each time. How can I eliminate this User Account Control request?

Even editing my control panel information on this forum causes the dreaded UAC request to run Java.

After backing up my phone to the new iphone 4S, voice control comes on every time I try to use siri?

After backing up my phone to the new iphone 4S, voice control comes on every time I try to use siri? I have to newest itunes so what should I do? I completley can not use Siri

Some advice from various locations on the web (use google). Each works for some users, not all. Give these a try.
Try to deauthorize the computer then authorize it.
select song or app. that's not authorized, itunes will ask for your password, enter password, click ok, and ok again. Done.
I had the same problem when I switched from my laptop to a macbook. What I figured out was that I had purchased applications under two different email addresses. You can click on one of the applications that is not syncing and go to "File" then "Get Info" to find out what email address you used to purchase those applications. Hopefully this helps.
Sometimes a reboot of either the computer or the iPhone or both fixes this, if you’ve authorized already.

On my registered iTunes computer, the following message appears every time one plugs in a device and refuses to load said device to be synced: "This iPod cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started". They are all registered. Help

On my registered iTunes computer, the following message appears every time one plugs in a device and refuses to load said device to be synced: "This iPod cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started". Each device has been registered onto this account and this computer, and all have worked finely in the past. I am so confused as to why now seemingly without reason, none of our apple devices (one iPod, two iPhones) are allowed to have music and other material downloaded onto them. Also, as a side note, they still are charged by plugging them into the computer, however they do not even show up on the left-hand sidebar in iTunes.
It should also be noted that for my iPhone it does not allow for the new update software to be uploaded; it just says that an error has occurred, nothing more.
