Why do I have Japanese next to my firefox logo on top bar?

At the very top left of my screen where the firefox logo is, a succession of Japanese letters occurs. It changes when I change web pages as if it's labeling my pages in Japanese or something. My selected language is English so I don't understand what is happening.

It is possible that Firefox uses UTF-16 encoding for that text in the title bar instead of UTF-8.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

HT1351 Why do I have ! next to some of my songs and they dont sync?

Why do I have ! next to some of my songs and they dont sync?

I am not an expert but here's my two cents:
The exclamation point means itunes cannot find the music file in order to play it. There are several possible reasons for this, including but not limited to changing the name or location of your music library/songs, or storing them on an external hard drive or device that is not currently attached. The solutions for these are different so let me know if any of these apply and we can troubleshoot.

Why Do I have a Question mark on my Hard Drive Tool Bar

I have a question mark on my hard dive tool bar, not sure why and do not know how to get rid of it, when I click on it it tells me the item can't be found, also I have a photo icon on the tool bar as well, I have added a screen shot, any ideas how to get rid of this?
merlote

To delete that question mark, just hold the Command key and drag it off the Finder, so that question mark will be removed. That's caused when the item you had there is deleted, so Finder doesn't find it and it shows the question mark

Why do I have Japanese iTunes in my Front Row?

In Front Row, when I got to Music, it has two iTunes items at the top of the list. But they are in Japenese... what gives? Best I can tell, they are album samples of random Japanese music.

actually guys if you log into the guest account and open front row things should be correct. if that is the case, then copy the plist from the guest account and put it in your account and all is fixed. I have verified on 3 macbooks that had this problem.

Why do i have ! next to alot of my music?

How come alot of my music on itunes shows a " ! " in front of it? when i try to play it it tells me the song cant be located. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!

Locate your iTunes files
Do either of the following:
Find out where a file is stored: Select the item in iTunes, and choose File > Get Info. The path to the file is shown at the bottom of the Summary pane (next to Where).
Show the file in the Finder: Select the item in iTunes, and choose File > Show in Finder.
Show
If a song doesn’t appear in iTunes anymore
Important: For best results, don’t change the location of the iTunes folder or the folders inside it.

Why do I have to click the arrow in the location (awsome) bar to load a page off a link?

Before the tab loads and takes you to the website, I now have to click a small arrow at the far right of the location bar for it to load the page. What setting changed in Firefox 4?

This type of problem is normally caused by using an incompatible add-on. For details of how to troubleshoot this to find out what one is causing the problem see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes

Why do I have to click the green arrow on the location bar instead of pressing ENTER to prompt the new webpage to load?

When entering a web page (e.g., www.aol.com) I would normally hit the ENTER key on my keyboard and the aol webpage would open. However, using Firefox 4.0.1 on my desktop, I have to enter the webpage (e.g., www.aol.com) and then use the mouse to right-click on the green arrow tab located to the right of the location bar. This is not the case on my wife's laptop, however. And she is using the same version of Firefox.

This was very very helpful and I resolved the issue. The problem ended up being an extension from my AVG firewall that I had to disabled, once I disabled the ext Firefox worked properly again.

Why do I have trouble printing when using Firefox, I have to change over to IE and the printing is OK

When I try to print a page while using Firefox the printer does not work. A message stays on the screen 'preparing' and the searching circle keeps turning. I switch over to Internet Explorer and the page prints straight away. I recently tried to print a form I received from a company and a message showed that Firefox were having trouble, use IE

Try the '''''reset''''' described here: <br />

Why do I have to click connect next to 802.1X every time?

My certificates are trusted. My WPA Enterprise profile has the proper credentials. Ask to join new networks is checked. When I unplug my ethernet cable and use the wireless networking environment at my workplace, I'm always prompted to choose the network from a dialog that pops up. Whether I choose the network I always use or whether I cancel, my IP address gets self-assigned until I go into the Network prefpane and click "connect" next to 802.1X. Why do I have to do that every time?

Open iTunes preferences and go to the Store pane, then uncheck everything, esp. the Always check for available downloads.
oh yeah, VERY IMPORTANT... forgot to tell you that you have to be signed in to your itunes store account to make these changes, or to even see what the current settings are. If you are not signed in to your itunes account the whole pane will be dimmed and will show all boxes unchecked... HOWEVER, once you sign in to your account and open the store pane, you will be able to see the current settings AND the "Always check for available downloads box is checked by default.

Why does it have to be tethered???

Hi, So I'm just about ready to buy the ipad. But I am having a big problem understanding WHY this thing cannot be used in my household, because my 2 apples run Tiger. If its a matter of an occasional update, I could take it to work to do that. I phoned the apple store, the rep said It can't work or sync without Leopard within my home wireless network. I also have within my wireless network 2.5 terabit of hard-drive and the rep was unsure if the ipad could see that either...
Both of my computers are pre Intel processor, so I read that leopard & snow leopard are out of the question on my computers.
If this is suppose the be the next big thing, Why does it have to be tethered to ANY computer. This IS sold as a wireless device, NOT an extension to another computer. Am I getting bad info or what.
Please advise.

Hi,
All is not lost, I think. It's true that you'll need either Leopard or a Windows machine with the latest iTunes in order to get the iPad going. But you're right, you can just do that at work. The iPad will work perfectly after that without ever synching it again. You can do everything from the iTunes store from the iPad itself.
However, if you want to synch your music not bought at iTunes, as well as iPhone apps and contacts then you're going to have to find a compatible computer to do it on. It needs the latest iTunes which doesn't run on Tiger. But once you've synched you don't really need to do it again unless you want to add a lot of music from another source than iTunes. Of course, synching also backs up the iPad, don't forget.
As far as the gigundo drive, if the iPad doesn't recognize it, all you have to do is copy what you want synched to a smaller drive (or even a DVD) and use that instead.
Hope that helps. The iPad is most definitely an independent device but it does need a compatible computer if you want to synch stuff to it from elsewhere.

HT4972 why dont I have an update facility on my ipad

Why dont I have an update facility on my ipad

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 7.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.
You can no longer update to iOS 6.x, or down grade the iOS.

iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and antivirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 7.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.
How to Upgrade to iOS 7
The iOS 7.0 update requires around 2.5 GB of storage space, so if your iPad is almost full, you may need to clear up some space. You can check your available space in Settings -> General -> Usage.
There are two ways to upgrade to iOS 7: You can use your Wi-Fi connection, or you can connect your iPad to your PC and update through iTunes. We'll go over each method.
To upgrade using Wi-Fi:
Note: If your iPad's battery is under 50%, you will want to plug it into your charger while performing the update.
Go into the iPad's Settings.
Locate and tap "General" from the menu on the left.
The second option from the top is "Software Update". Tap this to move into the update settings.
Tap "Download and Install". This will start the upgrade, which will take several minutes and will reboot your iPad during the process. If the Download and Install button is grayed out, trying clearing up some space. The space required by the update is mostly temporary, so you should gain most of it back after iOS 7 is installed.
Once the update is installed, you may have to run through the initial steps of setting up your iPad again. This is to account for new features and settings.
To upgrade using iTunes:
First, connect your iPad to your PC or Mac using the cable provided when you purchased your device. This will allow iTunes to communicate with your iPad.
You will also need the latest version of iTunes. Don't worry, you will be prompted to download the latest version when you launch iTunes. Once it installs, you may be asked to setup iCloud by logging into your iTunes account. If you have a Mac, you may be prompted on whether or not you want to enable the Find my Mac feature.
Now you are ready to begin the process:
If you upgraded iTunes earlier, go ahead and launch it. (For many, it will launch automatically when you plug in your iPad.)
Once iTunes is launched, it should automatically detect that a new version of the operating system exists and prompt you to upgrade to it. Choose Cancel. Before updating, you will want to manually sync your iPad to make sure everything is up to date.
After canceling the dialog box, iTunes should automatically sync with your iPad.
If iTunes doesn't automatically sync, you can manually do it by selecting your iPad within iTunes, clicking on the File menu and choosing Sync iPad from the list.
After your iPad has been synced to iTunes, select your iPad within iTunes. You can find it on the left side menu under Devices.
From the iPad screen, click on the Update button.
After verifying that you want to update your iPad, the process will begin. It takes a few minutes to update the operating system during which time your iPad may reboot a few times.
After updating, you may be asked a few questions when your device finally boots back up. This is to account for new settings and features.
 Cheers, Tom

Why do I have to search for a wifi network most every time I use the internet?

Why do I have to search for a wifi network almost every time I use the internet?
We have Cox internet on a wireless router.
It doesn't seem to be able to hold the wireless connection.....even a couple hours.
The router sits on the desk next to the computer.
Thanks for any suggestions you have.

I don't have any trouble connecting to the internet once I choose our network from the choices.
The computer just can't remember it.

Why do BT have Customer Services

I've switched to BT; Broadband, Phone & Vision.
Everything activated fine on the date predicted except Vision. The following message appears on my 'Track your order' page :
Your Vision order is in hand with a member of our team and we will keep you updated with progress. Please continue to check online for further updates.
Consequently, my vision box is stuck on C03 error...
Anyway, after 24 hours I called customer services and was encouraged that they seemed to spot the issue straight away. The very nice lady did ‘thing’s in the background and eventually advised me to reboot the hub and then reboot my vision box and everything would be ok. However, just in case, it didn’t work, I should wait until after midnight that day.
It didn’t work. It didn’t work by midnight and it wasn’t working 24hrs later. However, the activation date on my ‘Track your order’ page had moved back a day.
So I called the next day and again was encouraged to hear they seemed to spot the issue straight away.... Ooo déjà vu! In fact déjà vu and déjà vu!
I’ve been through the same ritual for 3 days now, so my point; why do BT have Customer Services?

Thanks, I've sent them a mail...
Thought I'd try to expedite the problem though and called India this morning.
After ping-ponging around a couple of departments, I got through to the 'Vision' dept and he explained that my broadband order was not fully complete (some issue on the line/exchange!?). So he put me through to the 'Order' dept.
They said although my broadband is working ok, they can't close it off until the problem they're having is resovled -then I can get Vision.
Probably.
So why didn't my three previous calls (UK answered) just tell me that...?
