When I download Word documents in Firefox, I can't save them as ".doc" and/or ".docx" files. They go to "recent documents" as ".lnk" files and I can't even cut-n-paste the info into a new Word document to fix the problem

Details are covered in the question. There is some sort of bug in downloading files in Firefox 4.0, downloaded files simply won't exist outside of "Recent files", which upload as ".lnk". I don't seem to have this issue with IE9.

Not in MAC mail. In yahoo mail. I fiddled around with it after posting, and discovered that if I saved the entire email to the desktop in HTML(?), and then opened the email, I was able to open the attachment as well. This is a pretty roundabout way to open an attachment. I'd much rather be able to do it in one step. Any idea why this is happening? A more direct way to fix? I am not a computer person. Just stumbled on the idea of saving it in different format. Thanks.

All of the Spry files are missing and the basic_fs.css. It's a long list. If you use Chrome or Safari, you can view source (Safari) or Inspect Element (Chrome) and under Resources you will see the missing files highlighted.

Firefox promted me to save about 4 passwords and now won't prompt me. All the setting are just as they should be. Why has it stop prompting me to save passwords?

This is a new machine though I am not new to Firefox. There are certain sites I have multiple accounts on in which Firefox as of a month ago saved every password for every account. Just turning on this machine for the first time yesterday I immediately downloaded Firefox and set the settings as I had them on the previous machine. As I began getting things in order and all favorites back in place, Firefox did prompt me to save about 4 passwords and abruptly stopped. I have checked all the settings and nothing has changed. No addresses have been blocked, no exceptions. Even addresses and on sites I know for certain will let Firefox save the passwords I am not being prompted. I am at a loss as to what to do.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you for your time.

Try the following:
close iWeb.
delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
go to your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
reboot.
launch iWeb and try again.
If that doesn't help continue with:
move the domain file from your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
launch iWeb, create a new test site, save the new domain file and close iWeb.
go to the your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
launch iWeb and try again.

Go to the main Library folder and look for a folder called Application Support / Microsoft.
There are a few folders in there, and you may have to do some digging. In one of them (mine is called MAU2.0), there should be a file called Microsoft Autoupdate. Open it.
It looks like this:
check the button for manual updates.
That should let you open the apps without triggering an automatic update.

Itunes 10.6.1.7 problem: when I change the file "media type" from 'Music' to 'Podcast' the file disapears from ITUNES. I do this via (1) right click, (2) select 'Get Info', (3) select 'options' tab, and (4) change media type. What is the problem?

Hi Memalyn
Essentially, the bare issue is that you have a 500GB hard drive with only 10GB free. That is not sufficient to run the system properly. The two options you have are to move/remove files to another location, or to install a larger hard drive (eg 2TB). Drive space has nothing to do with SMC firmware, and usually large media files are to blame.
My first recommendation is this: download and run the free OmniDiskSweeper. This will identify the exact size of all your folders - you can drill down into the subfolders and figure out where your largest culprits are. For example, you might find that your Pictures folder contains both an iPhoto Library and copies that you've brought in from a camera but are outside the iPhoto Library structure. Or perhaps you have a lot of purchased video content in iTunes.
If you find files that you KNOW you do not need, you can delete them. Don't delete them just because you have a backup, since if the backup fails, you will lose all your copies.
Don't worry about "cleaners" for now - they don't save much space and can actually cause problems. Deal with the large file situation first and see how you get on.
Let us know what you find out, and if you manage to get your space back.

You can try putting it into Disk Mode
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363
If that works, you can see if the computer will recognize it when connected, either in iTunes or by the system.
NOTE: You can also try putting it into Disk Mode WHILE it is already connected to the computer.
If the iPod is recognized, you may be able to use one of the third-party methods or utilities to transfer song files from iPod to computer. You can do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer" to get some links (add "mac" to the search if your computer is a Mac).
Once the song files are on your computer, add them to that computer's iTunes library, then sync it to the new iPod.

No. purchases are forever tied to the apple ID used to buy them. Delete them and buy your own copies.

I re-set password using specific user ID but when I put new password in it does not say incorrect password it just spins and spins never accepting it. What is the problem?

Update on my problem connecting in Itunes with my Airport Express. Not sure if anything I tried made a difference
but I finally got the Pop up window saying this device requires a Password. I entered the password and I can once again use the Airport Express as a remote speaker.

Not sure what you are asking - what did you download and what do you want to remove ? If you purchased something that you didn't mean to then all purchases are considered final, but you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will refund or credit you : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
If you mean something else ... ?

I go to an internet company and try to download a document from it. A tab pops up saying the download was successful, but all I see is a blank screen with UI at the top. I don't understand where the download is going.

Thanks so much for your reply fanboy20.
Yes, just made sure of that. I do have the latest version of Flash player. But I have just staggered upon the answer. Chalk it up to being a newbi. I was not putting my apple tv to sleep and it would not allow me to see
you tube on my computer while it was still operating on my TV. When I realized that, I put the apple tv to sleep and bingo, my computer runs you tube fine. Thanks again for your response.

When I download Word documents in Firefox, I can't save them as ".doc" and/or ".docx" files. They go to "recent documents" as ".lnk" files and I can't even cut-n-paste the info into a new Word document to fix the problem
