When I open my Bookmarks it leaves a ghost image on the desktop

When I open my bookmarks and they are larger than the Firefox window it leaves the image of the bookmarks on my desktop. It does not effect the browser and when I click on show desktop it goes away, but it is very annoying. I just upgraded tp the latest version of Fifrefox and this was not an issue with the previous version I was using.

Try to disable hardware acceleration.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.

When I open a bookmark in the bookmarks toolbar, it opens in a side bar instead of a new tab. How do I change this?

Firefox opens mutiple tabs when I open a bookmarked page

Firefox opens mutiple tabs when I open a bookmarked page. When I go to the next bookmarked page Firefox opens all previous tabs that I have recently opened

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

When i open a new tab I can't put in the website I want to access why?

when I open a new tab it does not give me the option to put in a new web address. I used to have Facebook on Foxfire and I can't get to it to come up on foxfire anymore. It is not even in my history and it was one website I used everyday on Foxfire. I hope you can help so I can get it back on foxfire.

If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key, that should make the menu bar appear.
* Go to "View > Toolbars" and check-mark "Menu Bar" with a click if you want to make that permanent
See [[Menu bar is missing]]
Make sure that all the toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
* If items are missing then open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
* If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it back from the Customize window on the toolbar
* If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up.

TS4083 My folders that message rules divert emails to don't update when I open Mail on my iPad or iPhone. Only the inbox does. I have to click on each folder for it to update. Is there a way around this? The folders update on my mac fine when i check mail

My folders that my message rules on iCloud divert emails to don't update when I open Mail on my iPad or iPhone. Only the inbox does. I have to click on each folder individually for it to update. A real pain as I have about 30 folders. Is there a way around this ? The folders update on my mac fine when i check mail without having to select each one of them. Can the iPad and iPhone do the same thing?

My Mac has 4 mail accounts coming into it, but you are correct, one of them is a POP account, (and unfortunately it is the main @ account, and is the one associated with my apple id, since we've had it for years). I couldn't figure out how to replace this with the Imap version, short of deleting that account entirely.
Is this what I have to do?
Thanks for your help!

Updates come through Software Update not the App Store. If you have to reinstall Lion that is done via Internet Recovery.
OS X Lion- About Lion Recovery
OS X Lion- Run Software Update to use Lion Internet Recovery
Lion maintenance and recovery operate via the Recovery HD. It's possible to create a separate recovery disk on a flash drive using OS X Lion: About Lion Recovery Disk Assistant.
To boot into the Recovery HD:
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.

I opened my iPhoto library today which was stored on an external hard drive and several of my videos now will not play at all. The weird thing is that each file shows a duration of 1 second and when I open them it just shows one frame. What the !&%$#@ Where did my original video files go?

Sounds like a good plan, you can never be to safe and having a second External HD is safer than one.
The only thing that I would do different, is setup the 3T as my TimeMachine Backup and then erase and move my Photos, Videos and perhaps even iTunes Media to the 1T. That way you will have room to backup both the Internal Hard Drive and the 1T External Hard Drive to the 3T using TimeMachine.
Take your time, study and use the > Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions if you get stuck or aren't sure how to make the move.

My nephew lend me his iPad and I have wi-fi service @ home, I get the wi-fi icon on top, it's activated but when I open Safari to go online it ask me for the password which I have and type in. It tells me I have typed incorrect pw. What's wrong?

my nephew lend me his iPad and I have wi-fi service @ home, I get the wi-fi icon on top of iPad, it's activated but when I open Safari to go online it ask me for the password which I have and type in. It tells me I have typed incorrect pw. What's wrong? I even called my internet server and they cant help! They're saying my nephew must have a block. I asked my nephew and he said "what r they talking about, I have no block" Can anyone help ME PLZ.

When you go to Settings > WiFi and see your network name does it have a padlock icon to the right of the network name? If so it is a secured network with a password.
How did you connect to your network from the iPad? From Settings > Wifi? Was a network password requested? Was it accepted?
If you touch the ">" to the right of your network name what do you see for IP Address, Subnet Mask, Router, and DNS?

Opening pdf in browser leaves copy of pdf file on desktop

Guess I'm having a "bald moment" (never was blond).... Whenever I open a pdf file in a browser (Safari or Firefox) a copy of the pdf file is actually downloaded to my desktop. If I am updating my online bank accounts this leaves dozens of files cluttering the desktop that I have to later delete. I have not been able to figure out how to change this behavior. Any suggestions?
thanks

"How about browser preferences? are you using 10.4.8? that would mean over two years without updates."
There's nothing I can find in the browser prefs that affects this behavior. I'm running 10.5.7 of OSX.
"Are you using Acrobat? latest 9.1+? a browser plug-in? to view pdfs?"
Firefox launches Acrobat to open pdfs. I have the latest version the Acrobat reader. Safari uses Preview.
"I'm not surprised a file is saved to disk. But does the browser delete temp files on quit or closing?"
Actually, I am quite surprised that a copy of a pdf opened via a browser is left lying around. This is bad behavior.
There is no temp file. Immediately upon clicking the url and the pdf file opening, there is a copy of the file on the desktop.
"Other things to try: backup your system (clone, so it is bootable) and repair the drive and permissions with SuperDuper and Disk Warrior. Just to be sure you have backup, and that it is working properly."
I don't really get the fixation on these forums with repairing permissions. It is unlikely to fix anything other that an app that will not run or that cannot access one of its supporting files. I've used Macs since they came into existence and have worked with UNIX almost as long. I have NEVER seen a problem fixed by repairing permissions and have never seen permissions actually repaired except after a software install. And that is a symptom of a poorly designed installer. Sorry to rant.
Thanks for the reply.

Ok i have indesign CS6 and all files are stored on a 10.7.5 MAC server. This just started happening. When I open a file indesigns is creating a textfile in the same folder? I need some help on this.

Ask in the ID forum and be much more specific about your configuration. there could be any number of reasons why manifests, temp files or restore files are created.

Currently I have 10 bookmark folders, but when I try to bookmark a new webpage, I only get the option of 5 of them. Is there anything I can do to make them all visible?

Currently I have 10 bookmark folders, but when I try to bookmark a new webpage, I only get the option of 5 of them. Is there anything I can do to make them all visible? I am now having to bookmark it to the "bookmark menu" and then manually moving it to the folder I want cause it is not being displayed.

No there is no arrow besides any of the folders (I do not have any sub-folders); I do have a "choose..." option, but that does not work either in showing all of the folders.

Sorry, but you must Command + for every page. It's not permanent.
If you haven't tried yet, check out Zoom in Safari > Preferences > Accessibility

When I opened up a new tab, I used to get the Speed Dial page. I like that. However, since I updated my AVG anti-virus program, now when I open a new tab, I get the AVG search page. Can I change it back so that I get the Speed Dial?

In the past, when I opened up a new tab, I used to get the Speed Dial page. I like that. However, since I updated my AVG anti-virus program, now when I open a new tab, I get the AVG search page. Can I change it back so that I get the Speed Dial?

I had that too. On the bottom right of the AVG search page is a link which leads you to where you can switch it off. This restores normal Speed Dial operation.
This hijacking has really cheesed me off. I've just downloaded Avast and am going to put it on in place of AVG.
