Why does a bar sometimes appear below the Firefox icon in my tray?

Why does a thick bar appear under the Firefox icon in my tray. I cannot correlate its appearance to anything I'm doing online.

Try to reinstall Firefox.
Download a new copy of the Firefox application and save the disk image file to the desktop
*Firefox 32.0.1: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
*Trash the current Firefox application (open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re)install
*Install the new version that you have downloaded
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Installing+Firefox+on+Mac
Your personal data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox profile folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data when you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

If you go to the sidebar and right click on your computer icon, I think you have the option of removing your computer from the sidebar.

Why does my Videocast not appear in the iTunes Store

Hello,
i recently started an videocast and puplished it to iTunes, but until now you can only access the videocast by searching for it.
Why does not it appear in the Store while Browsing through the categories or in the "New" segment?
Below the feed for the videocast.

Thanks in advance for your help

Don't worry, this is a problem that I have experienced in submitting all of my podcasts, and I believe it all boils down to this.
The people behind the iTunes Music Store only select a few of the new podcasts that they personally like to appear in the "New and Notable" section. This is why in your podcast name and episode names, you should try to include key words that sum up your podcast/vodcast. For example, my podcast is one which supplies various DJ mixes - so I make sure to call my podcast "House Music - Dirty, Filthy & Electro House DJ Mixes" so it has a higher chance of coming up when people search "music", "DJ" or "electro".
I know it's annoying because to have your podcast or vodcast appear there would be very helpful in spreading the word about your podcast, but Apple just won't do it. I might suggest sending them an email asking how you would go about approving it for the "New and Notable" section, but I have never tried this so there's no guarantee of an answer, or even a reply.
Hope this all helps. Good luck with the vodcast.

When I drag and drop an icon from the address bar to the desktop is does creat the shortcut but will not display the website icon, only the firefox icon, how can I display website icons?

When I drag and drop a website icon from the Forefox address bar to the desk top, the short cut is created but the icon that appears is the firefox Icon. I want to disply the icon from the website that the short cut refers to. I have checked all I can think of in my computer to no avail.

You have to assign the favicon yourself to the desktop shortcut (right-click the shortcut: Properties) after you have dragged the link to the desktop.
You can usually find the favicon in Tools >Page Info > Media and save the icon there.
Otherwise use the main domain of the website and add favicon.ico (e.g. mozilla.com/favicon.ico ) to display the favicon in a tab and save that image to a folder.

When I click on the firefox icon why does aol come up?

All I want to know is why aol comes up when I pres the Firefox icon.

Thank you so much. I kept trying to fix it under the General tab from Firefox. I opened firefox, which flipped to MSN and fixed it like you said from the MSN Tools, General tab. You are great! Thank you again.

When attempting to download firefox4, I have a null symbol on the firefox icon.

while downloading firefox 4, a null symbol appeared on the firefox icon. When dragging to the image of the applications folder, and attempting to open firefox, I'm prompted the message, firefox4 not compatible with my system. I'm running firefox now, so not sure what the issue is?

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com

If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.

Why does my macbook pro stop loading the webpage (in safari) every time I try to access netflix or youtube?

Back up all data before proceeding.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally 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. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup 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.

Why does my mac sometimes freeze when waking up?

Why does my mac sometimes freeze when waking up? It only happens sometimes, but also happens spontaneously. 21' iMac 2011 model. It just started recenlty after a new firmware update from apple. Any advice or reasons why would be appreciated.

boot to lion recovery and run verify/repair on the hard drive. verify will say: appears to be okay OR needs to be repaired. No matter what outcome, you will repair anyways (as it will do some updating on the volume)
Process: hold command R during startup/ wait till you see mac os utility (might have to select english as the main language first) then disk utility/ select macintosh HD on the left, and then verify/repair on the right bottom side. Cheers!
