Why do 100 plus tabs open upon me cut and pasting a web address I desire to go to

I cut and paste a desire website to go to so I would not have to type it in and soon as I click enter the tabs take off opening tab after tab up into the hundreds and I can't stop it. I have uninstalled reinstall Fire fox several times trying to get away from IE but I have never seen anything like this. What do I do. Oh yes did a history clean cash etc. Tkanks

You get tabs opening endlessly if you select the Firefox program to handle a file when you get an "Open with" dialog.

Rename (or delete) the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox profile folder to reset all file actions.

How do I display, copy, and paste a web address from an open Safari window please?

I'm new to Mac and Safari.
I'm used to being able to just cut and paste a web address from a page I'm on into a discussion, but I don't see an address bar to copy from.
I'm sure it is there somewhere, which toolbar or keyboard shortcut am I missing, please?
Gordon_M

Hello:
While Safari is open, go to the menu bar>view. Select "customize toolbar." You may use the default, or customize it to yoru liking.
Then when you wish to copy an address, you simply click on the favicon and go to edit>copy.

When I click on an email link on a website it doesn't open my entourage mail, I have to cut and paste the email address in

When I am looking at a website and it says contact us with an email address, in the past when I click on this my entourage 'new mail' page would open so I could contact them, but know that doesn't happen and I have to cut and paste the email address into entourage manually, sometime this is not possible becuase the website doesn't actually give the email address just a 'click here' option

When I login to my homepage yahoo, why does a paypal tab open next to yahoo, and will it harm anything?

When I log on to Mozilla, my homepage is Yahoo, but next to the yahoo tab on the left is a small tab with the paypal logo, will this harm anything, and can it be stopped?

You may have "pinned the tab". Right click on it and unpin the tab to make it go away.

Right clicking on open tab yields only 'cut and paste' option.

My (new) computer has some sort of touch control that randomly changes font size. MSM has a tool icon that restores font size, Firefox doesn't. Right clicking on empty tab yields only the cut and paste option.

If the zoom level changes on a page, you can reset it to the default using either:
* Ctrl+0 (that's a zero)
* View menu > Zoom > Reset
''(If you are using the orange Firefox button and compact two-column menu, you can display the classic View menu by tapping either the Alt or F10 keys.)''
On a conventional mouse, you can zoom text by holding down the Ctrl key and using the scroll wheel (forward=larger, backward=smaller). I'm not sure how your touch device works, but if it changes the zoom level without having to hold down Ctrl or another key, that's not very convenient.
Now, regarding the empty tab problem, how are you opening the tab? Have you noticed problems with your right-click context menus in other situations?

Why does a new tab open when I click a page on google?

When I click on a page in Google after searching it up through there, a new tab opens with the page and the Google tab remains. This does not happen on the Mozilla start page.

hello, this might be a preference in your google search settings. go to google.com/preferences and disable the option to ''Open search results in a new browser window''.

Downloaded Mountain Lion on my iMac. Why is it so slow opening up from sleep and taking so long for the wireless mouse to engage?

Downloaded Mountain Lion on my iMac. Why is it so slow opening up from sleep and taking so long for the wireless mouse to engage?

Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
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.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Why does reader freeze while opening some pdf files and others open instantaneously?

I use pdf files created from CamScanner and shared from DropBox. In DropBox, many times (over 50%) while opening the PDF the process freezes and the error message is Adobe Reader is not responding. If you close the program, and re-open the file, it opens fine. I have saved these files to my computer and the same issue occurs. The files are 100-500kb, so I do not think size is the issue. I have reinstalled Reader (11.1.10) and there is no improvement.

This appears to have reduced the time to load a document. Thanks Jimb From: Anubha Goel <[email protected]>

I have a document that in Word required a password to open. I copied and pasted it to Pages. Put the password protection on. Now if I click on that filename in Finder it automatically opens.Why. Anyone can read it. How do I protect it again?

You saved it after setting the Password? :
Inspector > Document > Document > Require Password to Open
I just tested it and it shows up ijn The Finder with a padlock on the file icon and does require a password to open.

Multiple problems: can't open two windows, browser doesn't close although window disappears, and after working for a while I loose my ability to cut and paste or use drop down arrows

Maybe two weeks ago I discovered that I could no longer open two windows at a time (I can still open multiple tabs). I am also having problems with cutting and pasting, which is crucial to my on-line job. Plus, when I exit Firefox, it doesn't always shut down, so then when you go to re-open, of course, it won't (unless you go into process and turn it off). I have re-installed multiple times and I have also used restore. Nothing seems to be fixing this and I really, really don't want to use IE, especially for work.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Why does cutting and pasting ordered lists no longer preserve the line numbers

I often cut and paste ordered lists from web sites (track listings) to put with my downloaded tracks. Until the last update (not sure which version I was using with ubuntu 8.04 but it would have been the latest for that distro.) the line numbers were copied along with the ordered list, but they are not any more, so I have to type them all back in manually, which is a pain.
I have uninstalled firefox 9 to try to downgrade, but don't know which version would still work.

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

FCP Project stalling when trying to open, takes 10 min to open can't copy and paste

The other day a final cut project I've been working with for a long time (only 23mb in size) started to seize up and stall at 37%ish, then take 5 or 6 minutes to actually open. Once it's open if I try to copy and paste anything into a new project it completely freezes up and I have to force quit every time.
I've gone through and deleted all the render files and ejected the two external drives I have all the media on that are attached to my imac, and still have the same problem. I just opened another project I haven't opened in a while and it opened no problem.
Any ideas why this project stalls when trying to open and also when trying to cut and paste within the project once I've got it open. I have work in this project I need access to asap!
Help!

Before you go through the following process, make sure all your still images are in RGB colorspace (NOT CMYK or Greyscale) If they are CMYK or Greyscale, use Photoshop to convert them to RGB.
With the certainty that the still images are not the problem,
Put all the media from the problem project on the external drives
Make sure the Project file is on an internal drive.
Turn off the computer
Disconnect the drives
Start the computer
Launch FCP
Find and open the project.
It will tell you there are missing files
Click ok to go ahead and open
The project should open with all the media marked as off-line.
Did the project open in a reasonable time?
If no, you likely have a corrupt project file. You could try going into your autosave vault and opening an earlier version.
If it did open in a reasonable time, there is likely a problem with some of the media.
Depending on how many files you have, you can either reconnect one by one to test or use the binary method.
Turn off the computer
Reconnect the hard drives
Start the computer, launch FCP and open the project
One by one method (works better when there are not so many items)
- with the project open
- right click on an offline file in the browswer and select "reconnect"
- bring it in
- play it in the viewer
- play it on the timeline
- if it works, go on to the next file
- if it doesn't you have found a corrupt file (DO NOT assume all the other files are ok, keep testing)
When you are complete, you simply need to replace the corrupt files with clean originals. If you do not have other versions saved someplace, you'll have to do without or recreate them.
Binary Method (works better when there are lots of items)
- with the project open, select half of the items in the Browser and select reconnect
- play them in the timeline.
- do they all work?
- If so, the problem is in the other half.
- in the Browser, select half of the remaining files and reconnect them
- test
- do they work? if so, select half of the remaining unconnected files and reconnect them.
and so on until you find the file(s) that will not play.
Have fun.

My ical froze and keeps trying to process a cut and paste that I added to the calendar. I have to force quit but the next time I open it is still frozen. Can't use at all. Help!

My iCal has frozen when I tried to add a cut and paste to the calendar for notes on a meeting I'm attending. I have to force quit but the next time I open it is still frozen and everything I've tried doesn't erase the message so I can continue using. Can't use at all. Help!

I have the same problem--have you found a solution?

Why can't I cut and paste email addresses when sending documents?

Why can't I cut and paste email addresses when sending files? I have to type them in each time...And it doesn't remember them for the future, as SendNow did.
Also, it seems that the message I type in is not kept, as it was with SendNow?
Thanks!

Hi drlaura,
You're correct on both counts--these features work differently Adobe Send than they do in Adobe SendNow.
If you're sending files from Adobe Reader, you can access your local Address Book, which should make entering email addresses easier. Please see: I’m trying to send a file from Adobe Reader, but I can’t access my computer’s address book to find my contacts. Why not?
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

Why can't I cut and paste photos between project?

I recently made the transition from iPhoto to Aperture. One of the weird things is that I can't cut and paste photos between projects. In iPhoto this is an easy way to organize your projects if some photos are in the wrong place.
You also can't split projects, in iPhoto you can do this easily. Say, if two day's photos ending being in the same project, in iPhoto there's a button that you split them in the middle. Is there something like this in Aperture?

Copy and Paste:
In iPhoto "copy and paste" was possible, because it was not possible in the early versions, to see both projects at the same time, the one you are moving from, and the one you are moving to.
In Aperture you simply drag from the source project to the destination project to move image versions around. Also, it is easy to see more than one project in the Browser at the same time, see: Aperture 3 User Manual: Working with Two or More Browsers Open
To drag to another project, select the images in the project, then drag to the other project in the source list, for example:
To split a project, select the images you want to have in the split part, then create a new project from these images: Enable the check mark "Move selected items to new project". This will split the original project.

Léonie
