    I downloaded Mavericks and now when I google a topic and select one, I then cannot scroll back to the original google page if I wish to try a different answer?

    Sorry, I'm not very good at describing the problem.   If I had multiple browser pages open, prior to downloading Maverick I could swipe the mouse to go back or forward as required.   Now if I google a subject and the page comes up with all the choices and I pick one, I now cannot swipe back to the first page , I have to re-open google each time, type in my seach and start from scratch.  

  • I opened a PDF attached to an email. When I reduce the PDF and try to go back to email, the PDF opens again. How do I close it?

    This whole support process doesn't make sense to me, but that's a problem for another day...
    I opened a PDF attached to an email ( from a trusted source). Now I can't close it, nor can I get back to my email account. When I try, I just get the open PDF. How do I close it?

    I looked at similar inquiries, and got my answer. Thanks!

    My problem is after updating to Yosemite does my mail client any longer. I can not even open the mail, and when I "forced closes" mail and try to open it again to go in the entered settings running the colored wheels around and allows me only to forcing close again? does anyone have a solution to the above problem?

    You mean the default OS X mail app? Try reinstalling OS X Yosemite if that's the case.
    If you are referring to 3rd party mail applications, that's a compatibility issue. Some apps don't work in the new operating system. You have to wait until the developer updates the app, or you have to revert back to Mavericks to continue using it.

  • HT6012 While trying to update projects and events from a previous version of iMovie to iMovie '11, someone forced iMovie to quit.  Now when I start iMovie '11 and try to update, a message says no projects or events can be found?  Any suggestions?

    While trying to update projects and events from a previous version of iMovie to iMovie '11, someone forced iMovie to quit.  Now when I start iMovie '11 and try to update, a message says no projects or events can be found?  I know there are previous projects and events, and they definitely have not been updated because they do not show up in my iMovie'11 library, events, or projects.  Any suggestions?

    I also have Jolly's problem. I found the iMovie 9.0.9 folder and tried to launch the older version of iMove. It would not launch. I removed all of the iMovie preferences from the Preferences folder, removed iMove 10 from the applications folder, and restarted my Mac. iMove 9.0.9 still won't launch and I can't access my videos created with the older version of iMovie. Is there a way to uninstall iMovie 10 and reinstall iMovie 9.0.9?

  • Firefox is freezing. When I close Firefox, and try to re-start it, it will not open. I need to access Task Manager, where I find Firefox still running. I close Firefox in Task Manager & can re-start Firefox.

    Firefox is freezing in the middle of a browsing session. When I close Firefox, and try to re-start it, it will not open. I need to access Task Manager, where I find Firefox to still be running. Once I close Firefox in Task Manager, I can re-start Firefox. This can happen several times in the space of a few hours? I'm running Vista Home premium with Firefox 3.6.16, and this problem has only started in the last 4 weeks. Can Anyone Help? Core 2 Duo E7300 with 4GB RAM.

    Sounds like it is hanging when you exit and later try to restart Firefox.

  • I am having problems when i have minimized windows and try to open a new window it will open all minimized windows along with the new window. It just changed when mozzilla updated. It did not do this before the update.

    I am having problems when i have minimized windows and try to open a new window it will open all minimized windows along with the new window. It just changed when mozzilla updated. It did not do this before the update. Before the update if i had minimized windows they would stay minimized when i opened a new window. Please help ,I would guess it is just a setting somewhere but i cannot figure out where the setting is. Thanks jason

    This issue can be caused by the ASK.com Toolbar.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

    When I go into contacts and try to SHARE it via messaging, it doe snot SNED.  It lets me go though the motions and hit send but never SENDS. Is this a bug that can be fixed?

    I just got a Brother HL2270DW, great little laser printer. Running Lion 10.7, but I can't seem to get the driver's installed. Any help is much appreciated...
    When I install the drivers that come on the CD, or downloaded from Brother, and then try to add the printer in System Settings, I get a popup that says "Software for this printer is available from Apple, would you like to download it ?".
    If I click "Cancel" then nothing gets installed. If I click "Download and Install", then after a lengthy download process, I get another popup that says "The software for this printer is currently unavailable. Please contact the printer's manufacturer for the latest software"
    Ok, now what ?
    Thanks...

  • I hit Forget Network and now cannot get back onto my wireless home network. All of my other computers and iphones are fine.  How do I get the network back?  It shows in my list of networks but when I use the password and try to join it says not connected.

    See if the iPad will accept the password after you restart it. It's worth a try.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    You could also try a reset as well.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • . When I go into facebook and try to watch a video , the screen turns green.

    I have a HP 23 P114 all in one computer. When I go into facebook and try to watch a video , the screen turns green.  How can I correct this? It comes with Adobe 17?
    What can I do to correct this.

    Hey @billnaboo ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue with the Video not working correctly or green. Try clicking on the green screen, in the tab named Local Storage and put 10 KB and the green screen should disappear.
    Here is a link to the HP Support Assistant if you need it. Just download and run the application and it will help with the software and drivers on your system that need updating as the graphic driver could need updating.
    Have you tried another browser? This link will help you update your browser if needed.
    Let me know how this goes.

    Hi Vickey, S,
    Sorry for the delay in response. Is it happening with all the files?
    Also, please write the steps you are taking to type in the document.
    You might try uninstalling and re installing the Reader in case it is happening with all the files.
    URL to install the Adobe Reader is Adobe - Adobe Reader download - All versions
