When I click on a link, multiple(and by multiple, I mean a ton) blank tabs open. The only way to stop more blank tabs from opening is to close out of firefox completely. Do I have a virus or do I need to change my settings?

If I click on something to open in a new tab or click on someone's email to open Outlook, instead of doing that, a bunch of blank tabs open. I'm fine with a couple blank tabs, but they keep opening. The only way to stop the tabs from opening is to close out of firefox entirely. When I try to reopen firefox, blank tabs again begin to reopen. You can't close out of them fast enough because they keep opening. To stop opening the blank tabs, you must restart firefox a second time.
Is this a virus or something wrong with my firefox settings??

Firefox includes options of how to handle different content types, in your case the mailto links are probably set to "Use Firefox". For details of how to fix this see [[Firefox keeps opening many tabs or windows]], in particular the section "Change the action for a content type".

hello, my eyesight issue happens occasionally, from time to time i run multiple apps that use the isight camera. when i close each app the isight camera's green light is still active. When that happens the only way to stop the isight camera is to reboot.
Is there a way to use activity monitor to identify and kill the process controlling the isight? My apologies in advance if this sounds windows (task manager) like.
Thanks

com/kb/HT2411: Your camera can be used by only one application at a time.
(Over time, Apple has changed the built-in camera's name on newer Macs from "iSight" to "FaceTime" and then to "FaceTime HD." Regardless of the name of your Mac's built-in camera, the same info and troubleshooting applies.)

A bug in Mavericks. When I open Calendar, I get a message "Moving calendars to server account." Calendar freezes and this message goes on interminably. The only way to stop it is to restart.

Thanks, but this is a problem that began immediately after I installed 9.0.1
this week...I haven't changed any settings that would cause this.

My ipod starts voicing song data, artist data, and playlist data while I am listening to music. Is this a feature or a defect? I do not know why it occurs, but the only way to stop it is to stop the music then play the playlist again.

To make sure voiceover is off, you need to go to summary screen then click the "Configure Universal Access" button. Then you will get a dialog where you can make sure voiceover is off. All of the boxes in the dialog should be unchecked.

Verizon is using the Elipsis tablets to steal data from their customers. The only way to stop data from registering as cellular data is to pull the SIM card. This occurs with wifi enabled and cellular,dara disabled. If,you take your tablet to a Verizonstore they will upgrade your data plan to cover the overage and credit the upgrade. You will then have to remember to downgrade your plan or continue to pay for more data. Verizon, how would you feel if I walked into one of your stores and started filling my pockets with merchandise? If cought can I just give the product back and say "oops, sorry"

Today, my FCC complaint hit the same person working on the BBB complaint. Jimmie has been very nice and seems willing to work with this problem. We have been able to come to an agreement. I paid the purchase price for the phone and he returned my upgrade and unlimited data plan. This is what would have occurred if Verizon had given me correct information to begin with. I am happy with this result. He also brought quite a few instances concerning the handling of my transfer and upgrade that did not follow proper procedure. I am also confident that I would not have resolved this without complaining to BBB and or FCC. Verizon had no interest in solving the problem nor did they show any propensity to keeping a 20 year client. Even though this last CSR was very polite and helpful, his sole job is to respond to formal Federal and State complaints. He is required by law to address every complaint and report the reporting agency the agreed upon results - good or bad. Again, I suggest - If you are not getting the proper customer service, complain to someone outside of Verizon. Jimmie had not received any complaints registered with Verizon directly and I still have not had any contact with any other management representative that I was told would call.

I am unable to open new tabs, in any way I attempt to do so. I have checked the settings and they are fine, so it's not those. The only way I can open a new tab is to right click on a link and instruct it to open in a new tab.

Any way I attempt to open new tabs, be it clicking on the new tab button or using the short-cut Ctrl-t, I am unable to open any new tabs on my browser window.
The only way I have found that I can open a new tab is to right-click on a link and instruct that link to open in a new window.

Try disabling the Ask Toolbar extension.

My computer is broken and I have a new one. I would like to update the software on my ipod touch but im afraid it will sync afterwards and i will loose all my data. Is this the only way?

I have an ipod touch 4g 64gb currently running 4.2.1. I would like to update it to the latest available software without syncing my ipod with itunes as I am using a new laptop that doesnt have my music, photos, videos etc on its itunes library. And so I do not want to loose all my data on my ipod.

Any way to stop auto shared volumes from opening in finder when booting?

Leopard 10.5.8, but has been happening since at least 10.4.x...I have auto mounts setup in my user preferences, the auto mount fine, but the automatically open up too...makes it very annoying having to close all windows every time I boot the system...we have multiple Mac Pros running both Leopard and Snow Leopard...is there any way to stop the opening of the shares when I boot? maybe an applescript or something? thanks.

there are some fancy solutions to this using autofs or /etc/fstab but a less involved method might be by using applescript. open Applescript editor (it's in /Applications/Utilities) and paste the following in it
mount volume "afp://nas.ip.address/path-to-share"
add a line like that for each share you are mounting.
save the script as an application and add it to your login items. on the first try it will ask you to enter user name and password if your shares have any. enter those and check the box to save it in the keychain. it won't ask again. this will mount those shares without opening separate finder windows.

When I try to open the downloaded file, a security warning restricts me from opening the file.

I have the new Motorola Bravo which is on the Android 2.1 system. When I try to open the downloaded file, a warning appears saying "This application comes from an unknown source, and for your security only applications from trusted sources can be installed". Is the download corrupt? I would think not, but I am very confused.

Unfortunately, AT&T disables the ability for its Android phones to install applications that aren't distributed through the Android Market.
If this phone is not AT&T-branded, then you might be able to enable "Non-Market sources" in the "Applications" section of the Settings app.
If it is, then you might be able to use the Android developer tool "adb" to install Firefox on your phone (search the web for instructions), or you can wait for our next beta release which should be available through the Market later this month.

New tabs suddenly begin to open with "wleTab" in the URL bar , and the only way to stop them seems to be restarting Firefox. What's going on?

This doesn't happen completely spontaneously, but, rather, when I'm right-clicking highlighted text either to open it as a link or use the Context Search extension to search for the text on another website. It also doesn't ALWAYS happen--just frequently enough to be really annoying.

Everytime I try to open a PDF file, Mozilla opens new page upon page, until there are literally hundred, and the only way to stop it is to force quit the program. Very frustrating and occurs even after updates.

running firefox 5.0.1 on a Mac OS X 10.5.8

I've just become so used to this I forgot it's a bug. I just accept it as part of the Snow Leopard experience. I've done the whole inventory of fixes including a complete reformat and clean install. There is a work around for it though - instead of clicking the attachment button - which always crashes Mail - just drag the file on to the mail window. This usually works for me. Maybe one day this will be fixed along with the Quick Time, Safari and Finder bugs.

When updating to 6.0 my ipod it will not back up because of error OxE8003FFE. The only way for the update to happen is to delete all contents on my ipod which I do not want to do. What can I try?
