  • Cannot close multible tabs, system freezes and have to close firefox, but when i have multible tabs open ,cannot close individual tabs.

    after Firefox is loaded and open ,I open another tab. I can view the site but when finished I cannot close the tab and if I open other tabs I cannot close them either when finished, I have to close Firefox and reopen Firefox. I checked all settings but still the problem exist. When I use internet explorer this problem does not appear, I can open multiple tabs and close each one separately, they do not freeze up like they do with Firefox. Help Please
    I have Firefox version *.0.

    hi thanks for that info,but I tried the first help email I received and that one did the trick.Tahanks again for your in put.

  • I'm getting an Error mesage 148:3 when opening Premiere Pro CS4 it's telling me I have to restart computer.  This does not solve the problem however.  Working on a PC.

    This message came out of the blue.  I have made no changes to my computer or Premiere Pro.

    I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
    When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
    At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
    I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

  • My 2007 iMac seems to reset the home screen when not in use.  I am running mavericks and have had no other issues... just curious if this is a sign of something worse or to come?

    I updated to Mavericks and love it.  Its made both my 2007 iMac and 2007 MacBookPro faster.  But I have noticed in the last couple of days that my iMac screen with periodically go blank except for the background photo I set... then just as fast the icons on the desktop flash back up.  Is this a sign of something wrong or impending?  

    Finder crashes are often caused by "Google Drive." If it's installed, I suggest you remove it according to the developer'sinstructions. You may need to boot in safe mode to do so. Back up all data before making any changes.
    If you use Google Drive and don't want to remove it, then try deselecting the option in its preferences to show a status icon. According to reports, that may be enough to stop the Finder from crashing.

    Big thanks in advance

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

    Delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.

  • Color calibration change when opening certain apps in OSX 10.8?

    Hey guys.
    I've noticed something weird when opening certain applications in Mountain Lion. For one thing, whenever I open say Final Cut X, the entire color gamut changes on my display. It doesn't look bad or anything. It's almost like the computer is changing color calibrations... like when you used to be able to select Adobe RGB in the display preferences in OSX 10.6. Anyone know if this is an intentional thing when using pro applications? Because I also notice it when I open up iPhoto and when I start "screen recording" in Quicktime.

    I recently started noticing the same issue after upgrading to Moutain Lion. The screen will change from a warm tone to a cooler bluish tone. I think it has to be a bug, as I've had the MBP for over a year running Snow Leopard and never noticed this. I hope there is a fix on the way as this is no good for editing photos and graphic work.

  • HT1941 I have inadvertently changed a file permission setting. When opening Aperture I get the following; Aperture cannot access this library. To use this library make sure it's file permissions are set correctly. I am an old dude new to Mac OS. What up?

    I have inadvertently changed a file permission setting. When opening Aperture I get the following; "Aperture cannot access this library. To use this library make sure it's file permissions are set correctly". I am an old dude new to Mac OS. Looked in settings but have no idea how to allow file sharing to myself. I have been using Aperture actively for 6 weeks. I'm the only one using this Mac. What up?

    Back up all data now.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. You can demote it back to standard status when this step has been completed.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
    sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:20 ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ 2> /dev/null
    Be sure to select the whole line by triple-clicking anywhere in it. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command.
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2
    Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar. A text window opens.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    resetpassword
    That's one word with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window opens. You’re not going to reset a password.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.

  • When opening Bridge I get this message: Bridge encountered a problem and is unable to read the cache. Please try purging the central cache in the cache preferences to correct the situation. I have tried this and still get this message. when I delete image

    When opening Bridge I get this message: Bridge encountered a problem and is unable to read the cash. Please try purging the central cache in the cache preferences to correct this problem. I did this and still get this same message.Also now when deleting images they don't delete till I close and reopen Bridge. What can i do to fix this problem?

    Maybe a Preferences reset can help:
    Numerous program settings are stored in the Adobe Bridge preferences file, including display, Adobe Photo Downloader, performance, and file-handling options.
    Restoring preferences returns settings to their defaults and can often correct unusual application behavior.
    Press and hold the Ctrl key (Windows) or the Option key (Mac OS) while starting Adobe Bridge.  
    In the Reset Settings dialog box, select one or more of the following options:  
      Reset Preferences 
    Returns preferences to their factory defaults. Some labels and ratings may be lost. Adobe Bridge creates a new preferences file when it starts.
    Purge Entire Thumbnail Cache
    Purging the thumbnail cache can help if Adobe Bridge is not displaying thumbnails properly. Adobe Bridge re-creates the thumbnail cache when it starts.
    Reset Standard Workspaces
    Returns Adobe predefined workspaces to their factory default configurations.
    Click OK, or click Cancel to open Adobe Bridge without resetting preferences.   

  • When opening iTunes, I get the following error message: the registry setting used by the iTunes drivers for importing an burning CDs and DVDs are missing.  This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software.  Please reinstall iTunes.

    When opening iTunes, I get the following error message: "The registry setting used by the iTunes drivers for importing an burning CDs and DVDs are missing.  This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software.  Please reinstall iTunes."
    I have reinstalled iTunes twice and still get the message.
    Any clues??
    Thank you.

    I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

  • Preview crashes consistently when opening certain PDFs

    Preview crashes consistently when opening certain PDFs. I have Adobe Acrobat Professional and it is able to read the PDFs. Preview declares that "Couldn’t open the file. It may be corrupt or a file format that Preview doesn’t recognize." and crashes. It is less than graceful. I also have noticed that every time it crashes, I lose 40MB of disk space.
    Other than individually marking "bad" files as acrobat files are there any solutions to this poor behavior by preview.
    I also need to know how to recover the disk space. I have no idea where the files are being created. I checked /cores, but no joy.

    Hi,
    Try deleting the Preview and Sidebar preference files.
    Open a Finder window. Select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left. Now open the Library folder then the Preferences folder.
    Move the com.apple.Preview.plist and the com.apple.sidebarlists.plist files from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
    See if that makes a difference.

    A misleading and malicious popup. Launch Safari with the Shift key held down; if that doesn't work, temporarily disconnect the computer from the Internet.

    When opening Aperture I get Warning that says "There was an error opening the database for the library “~/Desktop/Feb 12, 2011.aplibrary.”  That's it. The program does not open at all.  I'm concerned that my pictures may be lost.  Does anyone know how to deal with this Warning?

  • Feh showing black images when opening certain .bmp files

    Hi all,
    I've been using feh (I'm using imagemagick too) from quite a bit and today I noticed it shows plain black images when opening certain .bmp files, those files are obtained from a Java WebService and they may not be correcty formed, still firefox can correctly visualize them. Would it be possible to make feh correctly display them ?

    I've set Photoshop to ask me if there's a conflict with embedded color schemes but it doesn't ask when opening this file. So I presume it doesn't use any specific profile. (Can I check this directly somehow?)
    EDIT: I've now set to ask if there is no profile embedded and Photoshop now says that the image has no embedded RGB profile.
    My color profile within Photoshop is set to sRGB which is the default for my display.
    When I try switching to other RGB profiles in the list, the colors change but the distortions are still there no matter which profile I choose.
