When I first startup firefox I automatically get a web page displayed that I cannot exit from. I move the firefox page to another workspace to get rid of it. How do I prevent this webpage from loading ?

web page automatically loads up each time and the exist bottom is disabled on the screen.

Maybe your problem is caused by that particular add-on?
I use the Print/Print Preview add-on and have never had that happen. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/printprint-preview/

If the ringtones are on the old device just plug it in and do a transfer of purchases then they will be on the computer to sync to the new device.

Thanks for the reply,. I went to the site provided and executed the directions but this did not solve the issue.
Even more details:
If I send a message to the Jane Doe address from another account on this machine (all my family uses the same email services provider and each have accounts set up on this machine), when you open it, it shows Jane Doe then the <applejax.xx> address AND the picture associated with the Apple Jax account.
So the problem shows up when the message is sent to this account from this machine, AND when it is sent from this machine from this account. No other accounts on the machine are effected.
I have sent and received email messages from the mail service provider's website, and everything is fine.

Hey there 79usma79!
I have a couple of articles for you that can help you troubleshoot the issues you are seeing with iTunes on Windows XP. The first is a general troubleshooting article, which can be found right here:
iTunes for Windows XP: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1421
This article can help you find out if there are any conflicts between your copy of Windows XP and iTunes, and can tell you what to do if there are. Before going down the troubleshooting route though, you should take a look at this article, which can help you back up your entire iTunes library to an external hard drive, so if this issue is recurring, you will be able to restore from that backup and will not have to worry about losing your playlists or music again:
iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
Cheers,

When attempting to sync my ipod I get an error OxE8004002 how can I correct this error

When attempting to sync my ipod to my pc, I get an error OxE8004002; how can I correct this error?
It is just since I uploaded the 6.1.5.

When I right click on a report I need to run, I can not run it because a pop-up says "Back Forward Reload... Inspect Element ". How do I prevent this popup?

I have created reports in Wal-Mart Retail Link. To run the report, you right click on the report and a pop-up comes up that allows you to modify, submit, delete or share this report. These options are hidden by another popup that gives the options to Back Forward Reload...Inspect Element (Q). It runs correctly when using Internet Explorer but not Firefox.

'''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.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''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.''

Apps disappearing from my new iPad 2 after I joined the iCloud, then they show up on my PC iTunes! How can I prevent this from happening??

I just bought my first Apple computer - an iPad 2. I downloaded a bunch of apps and they showed up on my desktop and I was using them. I then turned on the iCloud function, and soon after all my apps were gone from the iPad. Today I just noticed that they now show up on my home PC iTunes under APPS. I don't want them there! How do I keep this from happening???

If you have iTunes 11 on your computer then you can enable the left-hand sidebar on it via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC - when connected (and if your computer's iTunes is up-to-date) your iPad should then appear on that sidebar under a 'Devices' heading :
If you select the iPad on that sidebar you can then use the Movies tab on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen to select and sync that film to your iPad's Videos app.
Has your iPad been synced to the computer before ? If not then you might find this page for syncing to a new computer useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

When I try to open anything in Firefox I get innumerable ads. How can I prevent this.

Even trying to get this far I have had to close down at least 20 promotional sites - I have tried deleting and reinstalling Firefox but the ads still continue. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

When I open a new tab by pressing the + sign, I am taken to another search engine other than Goodle. How can I prevent this so that I go to google?

When I open a new tab, I'm taken to a page that is not google. I want to start with google and go from there.

You can check the browser.newtab.url pref on the about:config page and set that pref to your preferred new tab page.
* the default new tab page with the tiles is about:newtab
* the default home page is about:home
* for a blank page you can use about:blank
The browser.newtabpage.enabled pref should be set to true to use the page set via browser.newtab.url as the new tab page.
See this article about the New Tab page (about:newtab):
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/new-tab-page-show-hide-and-customize-top-sites
Your System Details list shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize prefs each time Firefox starts.
The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be there.
You can check its content with a plain text editor (right-click: "Open with"; do not double-click).
The user.js file is read each time Firefox is started and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.
You can delete the user.js file if you didn't create this file yourself.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)

Gratuitous kernel panic on my iMac G3 running Tiger. How can I prevent this

Ok, I know I probably shouldn't have installed Tiger on my G3 iMac so you don't need to remind me. However, it runs pretty good and I hardly ever even see the beachball spinning when I ask it to do something. What I am shocked, shocked by is the ridiculous amount of frequency that I end up with a kernel panic that gives me the 'gray screen' telling me I have to restart my Mac. I have been able to keep this down to a minimum by pointedly only running programs and commands one at a time with a good sized pause in between but even with that I am diappointed with how often it happens. Call me a heretic, but I think it would have killed Apple to stick with their classic OS framework rather than go to UNIX. I would like some tips about things I could do to minimize this occurence above what I already do. It really ***** to have had to reinstall Tiger about 3 or 4 times since I upgraded and have to change up the screen position, dock, desktop, mouse, screen saver, and reinstall all my programs after my iMac has croaked and finally accepted another reload of Tiger.

I'll ignore the major portion of your post which comes across as a rant and try to stick with the title: "kernel panic on my iMac G3 running Tiger. How can I prevent this?"
Kernel panics are usually caused by bad or marginal RAM or RAM that isn't seated properly, or by buggy or damaged software or drivers. In the past, problems with marginal RAM for Macs has shown up when people upgraded to new versions of the OS -- which might fit your situation.
Although your CPU is slow, you have lots of RAM, so Tiger should run OK, if the RAM is not defective. You don't mention how much free space you have on your hard drive. Typically you're going to need at least 5 Gig free to give Tiger breathing room.
Running a system maintenance utility like Yasu would probably also be beneficial:

What does the hardware test for your Mac say about your system? This might help us determine if there is a hardware cause for the kernel panics.

How do I get rid of two tabs opening when I first open Firefox?

When I first open Firefox I get my home page in one tab but another tab opens also. That one is set for Facebook. How do I get rid of the automatically opening second tab?

Do you get both pages if you launch a new window using either:
* Ctrl+n
* "3-bar" menu button > New Window
''If yes:''
Check your home page setting to see if you have multiple home tabs. A vertical bar (|) is used between the addresses. This article shows where to check this in the Options dialog: [[Startup, home page and download settings]]. This article has more background on multiple home tabs: [[How to set the home page]].
''If no, or if the Options dialog is okay:''
Add-ons may display tabs at startup or in a new window. If you check the address of the Facebook page, is it the normal Facebook URL ([https://www.facebook.com/]) or a different address?
Do you have any Facebook-related extensions? You can review, disable, and often remove extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.
Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Any improvement?
