When i restart, the top bar with the date and time, networks, battery life etc.. all disappears and theres only the finder icon which gets stuck for some reason and wouldnt work either!

When restarting my macbook pro, all the options on the top right corner of the screen disappear ( battery life, Wifi, languages etc..) when i try to show them in system preferences once i click on network preferences the whole system preferences goes Not responding and i have to force quit it. the only way i found to bring them back is restarting my computer a number of times till they just come back alone. not sure what the problem is??? now i never shut down my computer cause i am worried i'll lose them again and for months i just put to sleep when i am done since nothing happens to them when its on sleep once i shut it down and turn it on again the same thing happens.
appreciate any answers...

You sure you're in the /Users/username/Library/Preferences/ folder? If yes, then that's your issue. That plist controls the right-hand menu bar.
log into a newly created admin user account and see if the problem persists. Then, check its Preference folder for that plist file.

I have used Firefox for over a year. For some reason it quit working and I can't seem to fix it. I uninstalled and reinstalled the download and it's still not working. When I click on the icon it says unable to connect.

Yes, if you repurchase it you may lose your progress. The exception would be a game that stored all your progress on a server under your ID
If you want to retain your progress you have two choices:
1. Don't apply the update.
2. Use your fathers account password to update the game.

When i load up Photoshop CS6 it loads up the Administrators Account for some reason and it is quiet irritating if someone can help.

When i load up Photoshop CS6 it loads up the Administrators Account for some reason and it is quiet irritating if someone can help please respond as i would like to continue using Photoshop.

If you are using someone else's computer, then you need to get the Admin to sign in so you can run PS.
If it's your own computer, then you need to know the Admin's password so you can work. Better yet, YOU need to be the Admin.

I have a work Mac, an air book, a home Mac; husband has desktop and laptop. That makes 5. My work computer was replaced and I do not know what the company did with it. I am not allowed to deauthorize all. Any way around the year limit?

I have a work Mac, an air book, a home Mac; husband has desktop and laptop. That makes 5. My work computer was replaced and I do not know what the company did with it. I am not allowed to deauthorize all because I did this within the last year when I got my new airbook. Any way around the year limit? I don't know if I can find my old computer and I don't want to wait months to be able to play my ituens purchases on my new work computer.

If oyu already used up your "deauthorize all" option, you need to contact support so they can make an excemption:

If a proper license is held for the product, MS do say that you can use any legitimately-acquired media to re-install.
If the computer originally shipped with a manufacturer-supplied copy of Windows (OEM), then only the media from the OEM should be used. This might require him to purchase a set of recovery discs or USB from the OEM.
It may be possible to retrieve/download a copy of Windows 8.0 or 8.1 from the MS website, with only a product key, but, it is common for modern computers sold now, that there is no visible product key (instead, the key is stored in firmware)
If you need to download Windows 8.1, to create installation media, this article may help:

HT5312 what is the 100% guaranteed way to reset the security questions? i forgot how the answers were typed specifically and i need help. there is no email address for them to send the answers to for some reason, and the "change payment method" idea didnt

somebody please know something. for some reason apple doesnt want problems to be settled over email and everything has to be fixed over the phone, but i hate calling people and would rather email. so is there a way or do i have to call them?

If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset - which will be by phone as they need to confirm your id and that it's your account
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
You can try contacting them via email via this link, but you might have to wait 24 to 48 hours for a reply, and they then might just tell to you to use the HT5699 link above : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html

How do I turn off the automatic full screen feature that makes the top bar (with the minimize buttons) disappear?

I just downloaded Firefox 4 on a Dell laptop with WinXP. When I'm in a browser window the window resizes automatically and the bar at the top (with the minimize, full and close buttons) disappears. When I drag the cursor up to the top the window resizes again and that top bar appears. Makes me crazy. How do I turn it off?

I'm not aware of the behavior you're describing. I've never seen it, and just tested it for myself. I cannot get windows to zoom to full screen just from moving them to or along the top of the screen. Is this only happening in Photoshop? If so, it may be a Photoshop issue. If not, have you installed any kind of third-party software that might be doing that? Try rebooting in safe mode and see if the problem persists then. If it doesn't, but comes back when you reboot normally, the problem is caused by some third-party software you have installed.

The top bar with my bookmarks, tools, help ect. is gone what can I do to get them back ?

There is really nothing more to it

In Firefox 3.6 and later on Windows you can hide the "Menu Bar" via "View > Toolbars" or via the right-click context menu on a toolbar.
Press F10 or press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.
Go to "View > Toolbars" or right-click the "Menu Bar" or press Alt+V T to select which toolbars to show or hide (click on an entry to toggle the state).

HT1386 my iphone4 is syns with the right iphone for some reason and has lost all my ringtones

''Problem:'' For whatever reason, NoScript is stopping Runescape Community Toolbar from working properly which freezes your first Firefox window.
''Fix:'' Uninstall the toolbar. Disable NoScript. Install the toolbar. Add your RS account to it and make sure it works, then Enable NoScript again.
EDIT: Posted a fix earlier that was wrong. Corrected to the right one, sorry ^_^ Answer was on Runescape Forums.

Cleartune has updates available, but I keep getting a message saying "cannot connect to Itunes store" all other updates work just fine? The one app I paid for is the one that for some reason will not work. How can I upgrade without buying it again?

I loaded cleartune a while back, there are upgrades/updates available, which I'm trying to load. When I choose update, it asks for my password, which I provide and I get a message saying "cannot connect to Itunes store" I have many other apps I've loaded and upgraded just fine. However this one, the one I actually wanted bad enough to pay for, is wanting me to delete it and buy another copy. How can I update Cleartune without buying it again?

Hi all,
This is a very interesting situation. I did try to update one of my apps within itunes as was suggested. That worked !!
But then I noticed that I had 2 different logins that I must have created over the years. I almost forgot. I have a apple ID and an AOL ID. It seems that I purchased (actually they are all free) some apps with one ID and other apps with the other ID. I must have done this by accident.
So when I log out of one of the IDs on my Touch and then log in with the other ID, I can update the apps.
It seems that something changed on Apple's servers. It seems that until recently I was able to update free apps regardless of what ID I originally bought them with. Now it seems that's not the case. Apple must check this now.
Now that I know what the issue is, I'll make sure I use one ID all the time.
Thanks,
Steve

Illustrator's font is different for some reason and hard to read, I need to change it so i can read all the tabs and file names. Like file, edit, options, type, select, effects..... swatches, layers.. every tab is in a different font that is hard to read

Illustrator's tabs are all in a different font that I can read.
I need to know how to change it so I can get back to a steady workflow.
For example..
File, edit, options, type, select, effects, view, windows, help..... pathfinder, layers, swatches, stroke, and the file name (all the tabs)
are all in a different font, I don't know how it got changed but now it is different.
This is a shared computer so someone might have changes it on accident but I'm not sure.

Many of your points are totally legitimate.
This one, however, is not:
…To put it another way, the design of the site seems to be geared much more towards its regular users than those the site is supposedly trying to "help"…
The design and management of the forums for more than five years have driven literally dozens of the most valuable contributors and "regulars" away from the forums—permanently.
The only conclusion a prudent, reasonable person can draw from this state of affairs is that Adobe consciously and deliberately want to kill these forums by attrition—without a the PR hit they would otherwise take if they suddenly just shut them down.

When i restart, the top bar with the date and time, networks, battery life etc.. all disappears and theres only the finder icon which gets stuck for some reason and wouldnt work either!
