When I try to open a picture from email all I get is a yellow mozilla square in the middle of my screen and it won't go away unless I restart and I can't view the picture.

Why can't I open pictures sent to me in email. All I get is a yellow mozilla box in the middle of my screen that won't go away unless I restart.

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • When I try to open a document from a website, I get a message to "Enter name of the file to save to" - this just started now after I have used Firefox for years

    But I am trying to open the document, not save it - I no longer seem to have the option to do that. Any ideas?

    Does this only affect particular types of files?
    I would first check whether you have "Save File" set for that document type instead of "Always Ask" in the following dialog:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Applications
    This take a few seconds to populate, then you can scroll down or use the search box there to filter the list to find the type of document that's having a problem.
    If Firefox is no longer responsive to the settings in that dialog, it could indicate that the settings file which stores your download preferences has become corrupted. To reset download preferences back to defaults, try this:
    Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using
    Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
    Switch back to Firefox and Exit
    Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''mimeTypes.rdf''' to something like mimeTypes.old.
    Restart Firefox. Hopefully now you will get the customary Open/Save/Cancel dialog when expected.
    (If you had set a custom email handler, such as Windows Live Mail, unfortunately, you will need to set that up again. We can help with such things.)
    Any luck?

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPhone?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPhone shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).

  • When I try to open a document from my file on Mac OS X the following message appears, with the Bluetooth logo: 'SELECT A BLUETOOTH DEVICE ....Select a device to send file ...' I then have to go to the source of the document, e.g. Pages, to open the file.

    When I try to open a document from my file on Mac OS X the following message appears, with the Bluetooth logo: 'SELECT A BLUETOOTH DEVICE ....Select a device to send file ...' I then have to go to the source of the document, (e.g. Pages), to open the file. Please could someone help?

    The Get Info dialog should look something like this:
    The "Change All" button should be at the bottom of the "Open With" section.  This is how it appears in Snow Leopard.  Other OSX versions many be slightly different.
    If something is changing the setting back to something else you may have a deeper problem than I am able to help you with.  What is appearing in the Open with area before you correct it?
    If the problem is still persisting, instead of double clicking on the file to open it, try right or control clicking and then select Open With and choose the proper app from the list.

    I have iPhone 4s, and using latest iOS. When I try to open any link from Twitter or Facebook, it goes to open some wrong webpage. My iphone seems to be infected or suffering from some spyware or malware. How can I remove this wrong link opening ? Please help me to resolve...

    I think the McAfee suite will do the trick when I pay them a one-time fee of $69 or $179 for a year for unlimited support.
    Your call of course but IMO a waste of money. Please read this first:
    There are many forms of ‘Malware’ that can affect a computer system, of which ‘a virus’ is but one type, ‘trojans’ another. Using the strict definition of a computer virus, no viruses that can attack OS X have so far been detected 'in the wild', i.e. in anything other than laboratory conditions. The same is not true of other forms of malware, such as Trojans. Whilst it is a fairly safe bet that your Mac has NOT been infected by a virus, it may have another security-related problem, but more likely a technical problem unrelated to any malware threat.
    You may find this User Tip on Viruses, Trojan Detection and Removal, as well as general Internet Security and Privacy, useful:

    The User Tip (which you are welcome to print out and retain for future reference) seeks to offer guidance on the main security threats and how to avoid them.

  • Using time warner road runner. when I try to open up safari to home page I get error message that this version does not support the "community toolbar" can't proceed until closing the error message. sick of seeing it

    using time warner road runner. when I try to open up safari to home page I get error message that this version does not support the "community toolbar" can't proceed until closing the error message. sick of seeing it

    That toolbar/ct plugin seems to cause problems for all who install it!
    Close Safari, then locate and delete the following files and it should be gone:
    /Library/Application Support/Conduit
    /Library/InputManagers/CTLoader
    /Library/Receipts/ctloader.pkg
    /Library/Receipts/<Toolbar name>.pkg
    /Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/CT2285220.bundle
    /Users/<User name>/Library/Application Support/Conduit
    where / is the root library on your Hard Disk.
    If you are running Snow Leopard you should also look here:
    Library/launchAgents/com.conduit.loader.agent.plist
    Library/Application support/conduit plugins
    Also, as mentioned by Gilli2000:
    Library/Receipts - If you read it, it has information in it at the bottom referring extensively to "CT" and "community toolbar".
    Maybe it is harmless, but trash those items anyway!
    Note: Safari does not support any third-party toolbars except those supplied as an extension to Safari via the Extension Gallery.

  • When I try to open my Yahoo mail in safari, I get a message which states:" In order to use Yahoo mail, please turn Private Browsing off. Please go to Settings Safari Private Browsing, and turn off" The problem is my ipad does not a Private Browsing switch

    When I try to open my Yahoo mail in safari, I get a message which states:" In order to use Yahoo mail, please turn Private Browsing off. Please go to Settings>Safari>Private Browsing, and turn off" The problem is, my ipad does not a Private Browsing switchat this location.

    With iOS 7 on the iPad, you turn Private  Browsing on and off by tapping the URL field.  The screen that  opens up has your bookmarks on it.  In the bottom left corner is a hot button marked 'PRIVATE'.  Tap on the word 'PRIVATE' to turn private browsing on or off.  Yeah, there aren't any instructions anywhere that I can find to do this, and if you follow Yahoo's instructions, they don't work.  This doesn't happen with the previous Apple OS, and you can restore your iPad to the older OS.

  • I just got a HP Deskjet 2540 and when I try to print (direct print) from my iPad I get the message that the printer is busy

    I just got a Hp Deskjet 2540 and when I try to  print (direct print) from my iPad, I get the message that the printer is busy.  Can anyone help?

    Exactly what is the message you get and when. Presumably you are using IE9 to download the Firefox Installer file.
    Try the site http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html to download the latest Firefox version in the correct language.

  • HT4991 When I try to import word files from email it says importing then few seconds later shuts pages app

    When I try to import word files from email it says importing then few seconds later shuts pages app

    Peggy, thanks for the try. I think you are on to something about the multitude of sections in the sample document.
    I think the many many sections are a result of the formating to make the word document look just like the legal case book (multiple columns of text, special sections, graphical headnotes summaries etc). The doc opens just fine in Word for windows 2000, XP and 2003. Maybe I can request a NON columnar flowing word doc that will be possible to open with Pages 3.
    In the meantime, the other good options for these legal document downloads, PDF and HTML are not good options for processing the files with Pages. I sure hope the interoperability of Pages 3 is enhanced soon. I would rather not buy the Office 2008 for the Mac if I could stick with Apple's products.
    By the way, do you know...... is there a business, marketing, or technical reason (maybe all 3)) why Text Editor seems to have greater capabilities than Pages 3 (like HTML and similar functions)?
    Thanks, Brian

  • When I try to open a new window in Firefox, I get an error message

    When I try to open a new window in Firefox, I get the following error message:
    "Not Found
    The requested URL /en-US/firefox was not found on this server."
    ...but other websites, such as Google or CNN.com, work just fine.
    I'm running Firefox 3.6.28 on my MacBook Pro, with OS 10.4.11. I can't update to the latest version of Firefox unless I update my OS, which would be costly and also involve increasing my RAM.
    But the Firefox homepage worked fine until this morning. Is this likely to be a temporary glitch? If not, how can I fix it?
    Thanks,
    Emmy

    At least at the moment, the default Firefox homepage is back! So maybe this was a momentary glitch. But see below.
    BTW, here's the URL for the page:
    http://start.mozilla.org/en-US/?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official
    '''But, '''the "Mozilla Firefox Start Page" currently lacks a menu bar at the top with various Google options such as "Gmail," "more," etc. I found these very useful.
    I'm wondering -- did Google tell Mozilla to stop including those links on its start page? Maybe Google wants us all to switch to having Google as our default homepage. Or is the lack of a menu bar just another temporary glitch?
