When I click on Tools, Options, the screen freezes

No matter what website I am on, when I click on Tools, and then click on Options, Firefox freezes. I cannot refresh, I cannot close the tab, I cannot close the browser session. The session does not close when I click on the Firefox icon in the start tray and click on Close Window. The only way to get the web browser to close is to Ctrl+Alt+Del and end the task (which always shows that it is "Running"). I have waited as long as 5 minutes for the browser to Refresh or Close, and nothing happens.

You can check for problems with preferences.
Delete possible user.js and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

I imported photos from an old iPhoto (2001) to photo library and can now see them as thumbnails but not when I click on them. The screen is black cannot see or print either. Is there any way to salvage those old photos? I now use iLife09. OS 10.6

Did you import the old iPhoto library into the new one? That's not what you want to do because you will import all of the original, modified and thumbnail files as if they were original files. Lots of duplicates and useless small photos.
Do you have a backup copy of the library that you imported into to? If you do then bring it in and then use iPhoto Library Manager to merge the two libraries into a new, 3rd library.
If you don't then you'll have to try to fix the current one and then cull out the duplicates and small useless photos as follows: make a temporary, duplicate copy of your library and apply the three fixes in order as necessary.
Fix #1
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your HD/User/Home()/ Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your HD/User/Home()/Library /Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #3
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
If this doesn't fix the problem you'll have to start over from scratch and create a new library from the files inside the Originals folder of your current library. But first you should cull out the small photos that would be the thumbnails from the 2001 library.
Move the Originals folder to the Desktop, open and do a search for Kind=photo, File size is less than 10 KB. That should find all of the thumbnail files which you can then drag to the Trash. You might have to make that less than 50 KB. Then Import the remaining photos into a new iPhoto library.

My iPad is suddenly not loading any apps. When I click on an app, the screen flickers to black and then back to normal, but will not load the app. This is ALL the apps, not just one. Have tried rebooting, to no avail.

Was a Restore one of the things tried.? [Attach the iPad to your computer and in iTunes click on your device. On the Summary page click on Restore and go through the process. Be sure to click YES to Restore from a previous backup.]

Playing music the screen freezes and if i want to make changes it will not let me.I go to restore factory settings and afterwards i am able to listen,view album covers,and change the type of music i want.Is there a better way to do this? Thx

When playing music on my ipad the screen freezes and i am not able to view album covers or make any changes i am only able to hear what i selected.
This is the third time it has happened since i updated to the new IOS 5.1. It never happened before.
If i go to Summary and restore the ipad to the factory settings then i'm able to run it as normal.
Is this a glitch in the new software,or a problem with my ipad?
Thanks for any help

Thanks Russ H and Ross H!
I'm finding Multicam, combined with Compound Clips to be extrememly efficient.
I started with 2 different video clips, along with 2 different audio clips.
Layed out both clips side by side (visually, they are on top of each other on the timeline),and made that a single compound clip.
Then I laid out both audio clips on top of each other on the timeline and made those a compound clip.
So now I have
2 original individual Video shots
1 compound video shot of the 2 above side by side.
2 original audio tracks
1 compound audio track
Next I made a multicam track, and added to it all 3 video shots (2 original + 1 compound) And I added the compound audio track. I set that audio track to be "the" track.
It's just a little bit of setup, but really not that bad, and the ability to use the multicam feature to switch between shots, while keeping everything in sync is fantastic!

Why any time if the iphone4 battery power is below 20% the screen freezes

why is that when theiphone 4s poweris below 20% the screen freezes off

sorry I can't help you with that, Marco...still haven't figured it out for myself - or had anyone suggest a possible solution. Hopefully, someone at Apple is reading these and will make changes to ML to solve this problem (and maybe the graphics dept. will be able to put back the login screen & screensavers to the way they were in SL )
good luck! and if you find a solution, please post it here. Thanks!

None of my addons or extentions work any more since installing 3.6.6. When I go Tools/Add-ons it just goes 'ding' [makes an error noise] when I click on any oth the options and then firefox freezes up.

== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== when i updated to 3.6.6

Delete the files extensions.* (extensions.rdf, extensions.cache, extensions.ini) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox [[Profiles|profile folder]] to reset the extensions registry.
See "Corrupt extension files": http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
If you see disabled extensions that are not compatible on the next start in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the "Find Updates" button to do a compatibility check.

What version of OS X are you using? If Yosemite, you need to update to 10.10.1 or higher.
In any case, start by going to the editor preferences>general, clicking this button and restarting the editor:

How do I stop sub-tools from automatically showing up when clicking a tool in the palette?

I must have clicked something or inadvertantly pressed a keyboard shortcut or something because a couple of weeks ago, the sub-tools on the tool palette started popping up without me having to hold down the mouse button for a second. Now when I click a tool (the rectangular marqee tool for example), the hidden tools (eliptical marqee, single row etc.). Please make it stop! It's annoying as hell.
I'm using PS CS5 on Windows 7.

I don't believe there's any configuration option that changes that behavior, but I know what you're seeing has been discussed here before. Unfortunately, it might be difficult to think of the right terms to search for it. I don't recall if there was a specific fix or workaround found, though. I'm wracking my brain and I don't remember one.
Is there any chance you've gotten the right and left mouse buttons swapped? Do they pop up immediately when you click the right mouse button (as they should)?
Have you reconfigured your mouse double-click speed or any other mouse parameters recently?
Do you have an alternate mouse you can try?
Have you tried clearing your Photoshop preferences (by pressing and holding Control - Shift - Alt immediately after launching Photoshop)?

Why, when right click on some link the options "OpenLink in New Tab" and "Open Link in New Window" are exchanged?

Why, when right click on some link the options "OpenLink in New Tab" and "Open Link in New Window" are exchanged?

Dear friend, the problem is that there is exchange of something very useful from users an this break them habits! I'm not interested of forced using of tools! Of course it's good that there is a tool to solve my problem, but this action make me unhappy.
last words - this is the way of losing users.

Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe!

My TV show purchases don't play correctly. When I click on them, a black screen with no audio plays. The timecode for the show runs, but I don't see or hear anything besides that black screen. Help!
