When I open iMovie (09), the app searches for missing iPhoto files. These are files I deleted. I have to close about 30 dialog boxes before I can start using iMovie. How do I make this stop?

So it seems the issue is when iMovie is wanting to creat thumbnails, if I ask it to ignore then it's fine but if not it hangs up searching for the video file.

When Firefox loads, a second window opens that is just a counter. How do I make this stop? I can send the page info if it would help.

When Firefox loads for the first time, a second window opens that is just a counter. I've downloaded a lot of add-ons. I thought it might be the piano add-on so I removed it but that didn't stop it. How do I make this stop? I can send the page info if it would help.

My apps keep closing suddenly. How do I make this stop?

If I'm using an app, I can use it for a bit but then it suddenly closes. I was in the app store and it was doing the same thing. How do I make this stop?

Try this.
Quit all apps completely and reboot the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

My husband made the mistake of "upgrading" to IOS 7 last night. Now he is receiving every text message that I send or receive. How do I make this stop. We have always shared the same Apple ID in the past and never had any problems. I've seen posts where they say to create separate Apple ID's, but that means that whichever one of us does that, is gonna lose access to everything that is in our current ITunes account, correct?

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan. Remove it as follows.
Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. These instructions are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Step 1
From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
Step 2
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
          Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
/Library/Application Support/VSearch
/System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow.
You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the Internet criminal behind VSearch has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select

Windows will scale applications display or windows will not scale application display depending on how the application is coded. Photoshop is coded in a way that its display is not scaled by windows. Photoshop knows about your displays high pixel count not its resolution so it uses its pixels however it does not scale its UI to make it usable on your display. Other application let Windows scale their display output.   For example Microsoft default for is Surface Pro 3, 216 ppi display is to scale applications display up 150% so the surface pro 3 display which has 2160x1440 pixels a 216 ppi resolution look like at display with the user is using with 1440x960 pixels. The Application works like the display is 1440x960 and Windows scale those pixels to the displays using the displays 2160x1440 pixels the effectively changing it resolution to 144ppi rather than the actual 216ppi.
The reg update and external manifest file effectively tells photoshop its working on such a size display display some number of pixel wide and some number photoshop uses that as the display size in turn Windows scale those pixels to use the displays 2160x1440 pixels efector lowing its 216ppi resolution. Photoshop CC 2014 2X UI would be like using windows 200% option applications would be shown the are working on a display 1080x720 instead of the Surface Pro 3 2160x1440. Note that 1080x720 does not meet PS requirement of 1024x768. Photoshop UI would not fit on the Surface Pro 3 display..
Since you have a 4k display if you have CC 2014 you can use its 2x UI effectively Photoshop will be running on a 1920x1080 display and have half the resolution of you 4K display 3840x2160 pixels four native pixels are use as a single pixel.   1920x1080 pixels exceed PS requirement.

At this point it is too late. When you restore it will restore the backup made at the time of the last sync. And changes to the phone's content after that last sync will be lost.

How do I make this stop: "..Safari automatically completes it.."

How do I make Safari stop offering "suggestions" when I'm typing in the address bar? "If you type part of an address, Safari automatically completes it with a matching address from your bookmarks or browsing history." Even if I clear history, it still digs things up from history, and I don't need to see all this clutter.
Where is the setting for this?

Sorry sanjampet but this isn't helpful. Your references to "all the auto fill stuff" and "the stuff to the right" aren't obvious. I'm not using the AutoFill button on my toolbar anyway. The view>cutomize toolbar dialog box doesn't contain anything called "stuff." Is this an attempt to be funny?

When I click a link from google, most of the time it takes me to an unknown/unwanted website. I have to go back to google and try it again. How do I make this stop?

When I type in the google box provided at the top of my browser, it pulls up the results. Once I click one of those results, it takes me to random website. I have to hit the back button, then re-click the website I wanted to visit. At the second try it usually works. This happens every few google searches, one in three possibly.

Sounds like search redirect malware or a virus, hope it is the former.

MacBook Pro refuses to eject external disk - How do I make this stop?

So I have an issue that's been bugging me for a couple weeks, now (from even before I upgraded to Mountain Lion), that I, really, need a solution to. I have a 1TB external drive divided into 3 partitions. I eject it whenever I wish to remove it from my computer, but, lately, there is 1 partition that, constantly, refuses to be ejected. I get the usual warning in this instance:
The disk [volume name] wasn't ejected because one or more programs may be using it.
I click "Try Again" and it doesn't work. It works with "Force Eject", but I don't want to cause any unnecessary damage to the contents of the drive. The next time it happened, I ran the following in Terminal:
sudo lsof -xf +d "/Volumes/[volume name]"
This told me that the "mds" process was accessing the disk, which means Spotlight was using it. I clicked the "Spotlight" icon in the menu bar and Spotlight didn't appear to be doing anything. I can't quit the "mds" process in Activity Monitor, because the process just starts again. The only thing that worked was logging out, then, logging back in, then, I could, immediately eject the volume.
Of course, the next time I plugged the disk in, the same thing happened.
How do I stop this from happening? How can I stop Spotlight from, constantly, holding this disk captive? I shouldn't have to log out to eject a disk.
Please advise.

Cerebro,
I am in the same boat but I think you could help me and many others by telling us what what in the folders that were keeping your G-Raid or HARD DRIVE from UNMOUNTING?
I can force quit.......and even force quit to get the DiskUtility to treat that like a unmount.....
but in my case I may have installed software from AUTODESK that uses WIRETAPPING on the EXTERNAL DRIVE because that is the AUTHORIZATION method and also the CONTENT method they use to allow me to use their software for FREE as a STUDENT or EDU.
But I tried to kill these processes in the Activity Monitor and it just comes back or creates new numbers..
so I am not sure if that is the culprit...
I had read other culprits....like other 3rd party BACKUP SOFTWARE (not Time MACHINE) that was hanging the computer......
I am wondering why you had APPLE CARE help you and they couldn't even find the solution....
so without you sharing with me even in a private email as you didn't share what the FOLDER was for software.
I would be much appreciated as if this is the similar case then I can contact them and just ask them the workaround if it is not an APPLE thing......
Most POWER USERS that understand MOUNTAIN LION or SNOW LEOPARD and UNIX for that matter know the TERMINAL like a second language...
I wish I did but I don't yet.....
I really need to take a class or just read these ADMINISTRATION BOOKS for APPLE CERTIFICATION to understand such things.....
Please let me know anyone else reading this if you have some good ideas? or IRC CHAT or other FORUMS that strictly deal and discuss APPLE OSX and UNIX PROGRAMMING as well as NETWORKING without the FILE SYSTEM.....most of this is ADMINISTRATION LEVEL or root level knowledge, and should be offered as a MANUAL when you buy the COMPUTER........or at least a FREE PDF instead of having to pay the 50 or 60 dollars for the current flavor of OSX.....
I paid a 3 dollars for SNOW LEOPARD was happy updating school MAC LABS in LAUSD with that knowledge...but now I am MOUNTAIN LION 10.8 so I am wondering is it really worth the upgrade BOOK is that SYSTEM that much DIFFERENT than SNOW LEOPARD? can anyone tell me?
thanks so much
singleton
PS- - my problem is the same I have a G-RAID that will not EJECT unless I FORCE QUIT the DRIVE.....
I can't figure out what is causing it to hang......how should I go about finding out exactly what it is?
thanks
