Why does a box appear under the pointer with words for the last tab clicked on?

When I am searching for something I get to a site and the pointer can be anywhere and then a small box appears under the pointer with words for the last tab clicked on. If I move the pointer the box disappears and then reappears at the new location. How can I stop that from happening??

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.

Why is "download error" appearing under the "apps" tab of my "desktop manager" for CC

I cannot download or update apps off of the Adobe CC. Can someone please help me troubleshoot this problem?

I am having the same problem: The CC InDesign App was not working properly so I tried to update it and got the download error. So I chose to uninstall it and reinstall it. In the CC panel, Home shows all Apps and when they were last updated; the Files, Fonts and Behance tabs all seem in order, but the Apps tab is blank except for that same error message:
Download Error
Download error. Please contact customer support.
I've been trying to figure this out for more than two weeks - uninstalling, reinstalling, using the customer support FAQs, and nothing has worked. In the meantime, I'm still paying for use, so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Why does "sync now" appear in the menu bar ?

Why does "sync now" appear in the menu bar ?

This is actually still relevant if you are syncing with Gmail or Google Contacts or Calendar:

If you have already removed it, you can still get it back (if you need) following the instructions in the article.

How can I re-set the App Store so the Updates will again appear under the Updates tab?

Help with Adobe.premiere.elements12. Please
It would appear under the organizer tab that the photos are organised in the lowest folder in the folder structure within Windows Explorer. How can I use the Windows Explorer structure to organise the photos within Elements.

In a situation such as yours, I tend to consolidate items into folders so I have folders of nice workable numbers of images, somewhere between 20 and 200 images. Now, whatever, once you've imported, do your moving within LR, not the OS! I will select all in a folder and drag into a folder a level or two or three above, and then delete the newly empty subfolders. I hope this helps a bit!
Once you've reached just new Imports of camera output, you'll be flying along.

TS2776 iPhone 5, Outlook 2013, Windows 7.0 64-bit. Every time I connect my phone to my computer via USB, iTunes opens with the "accept our terms and service" then deselects the boxes checked under the INFO tab to sync my calendars, contacts...help?

I am connecting my iPhone 5 to my Windows computer via USB. This should open iTunes and start the sync process. Instead of iTunes opening, I get the iTunes service agreement to which I must agree. Then iTunes opens and begins to back up my phone. It is syncing my photos and music (although the music thing is another nightmare), but under the "info" tab in iTunes, the boxes of which functions I want to sync are no longer selected. Hence the computer and the phone are not sharing information. When I select the functions I want to sync, I must either replace or merge. If I replace, I lose the information I recently put into my phone. If I choose to merge, then I have duplicates of everything.
How can I resolve this problem? Why is iTunes acting like it doesn't know my phone?
I'm using an iPhone 5 iOS 6.1.4, Windows 7 64-bit, Outlook 13, and the must current version of iTunes (because I've removed and reinstalled it twice already).
Thanks for any help!

After you'd run the Configure Classic instance did you run in the statement as stated in 'Oracle® Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer 11g Release 1 (11.1.1) Part Number E10421-05'?
java -classpath ORACLE_HOME_DIR\discoverer\lib\disco-config.jar;ORACLE_HOME_DIR\oui\jlib\OraInstaller.jar;ORACLE_HOME_DIR\opmn\lib\iasprovision.jar -Djava.library.path=ORACLE_HOME_DIR\oui\lib\win32 oracle.disco.install.config.DiscoUtil -oraclehome ORACLE_HOME_DIR -tnsadmin TNS_ADMIN_DIR
I've completed an installation with the same steps (although I ran the config.bat file in as_1/bin rather than from the program files list and also I've the jrockit jdk installed)
I've found that this fails with the error;
INFO: This tool works only on Windows Platform. Exiting the program
Which is strange considering this is Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit
DISCO is running in the EM console but the URLs (as defined in the installation summary report) do not resolve properly. I was just interested to hear if you're installation was the same, this isn't the first installation I've done, they've all had a similar issue

HT1351 I'm OK until "click music tab, select the option "Sync Music" which does NOT appear under the music tab!?

I recently upgraded my iPad from 4 to 6 iOS. I have a bunch of music on my PC, which I want on my iPad. My music on my PC is all in iTunes format, it recognizes my iPad, I click on the Music tab, and it gives me a list of genres--absolutely nothing about syncing. There is also no evidence of a "Summary" button anywhere. What am I doing wrong?

Cancel all of the above. I didn't realize I had to unhide the sidebar to get to the correct music tab. Why do they hide what you need, and let you guess how to make it appear. *slinks off in embarrassment.

Lightroom does not appear under the application tab on my mac toolbar, where is it?

I recently bought the adobe creative cloud and was thrilled to see that I can have access to Lightroom. The issue is that it is not under the tab on my toolbar. The bigger issue is that when I go to the adobe download center and click 'download', all that does is open up the tab to where lightroom should be. Has anyone else had this problem and found the solution. Let me know, cheers.

I sorted it out. I was using a trail version and had signed up with a different email. I logged out of my existing trail account, then logged in using the email I signed up with during the purchase. All is well. Thank you for the quick response and feedback.

Why does a comma appear in the port field of the network settings

Ever since upgrading to Mountain Lion I have had issues collecting mail through 2 different Gmail iMap accounts using Mail.app. It works fine on my home network. However the network location I have set up for work has a port number, 3128, for the proxy server, however when I have been trying to diagnose the issue, I noticed that a comma appears in the port number as, 3,128 each time I delete this, it reappears. Is this causing the mail issue or not. I can still get online at work, just can't collect mail.
Thanks

Hi
Werid, but it worked and solved the comma problem. You're correct also it wasn't causing the mail issue. I'm not sure now what it could be. Thank you very much for solving the other issue, which must be 10.8 related.

TS3376 Why does my Mac appear at the wrong location, yet my iPad appears at the correct addrtess?

I switched on Find my Mac and iPad just to check it worked and the Mac appears at the wrong address and with a totally different postcode, yet the iPad appears over the correct address? (They have the road name incorrect but that is the same on Google maps!)

My Retina MBP, my Mac Mini and my iPad have a location that is not just a bit inaccurate but in the wrong country. I have now been at my French house for over a week and locations on all three of these have not updated from my UK address. This shows in Auto Time and Date location, Maps and Find my Mac/iPhone. My two iPhones (UK and France) have updated as expected. I have tried switching location in Time and Date to somewhere odd (Delhi), deleting the com.apple.maps.plist, all to no avail. I have done a reset on the iPad. All to no avail. All three think they are still in the UK. Any way to force a location update.

Why does iTunes crash every time the "books" tab is opened

Has anyone had the problem of iTunes crashing every time the "books" tab is selected? Every time I open that tab and begin to browse the contents iTunes give the message that "iTunes has stopped working" "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program an notify you if a solution is available." This has been happening ever since I upgraded from iTunes 9 to iTunes 10.

maybe:
iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues
or
iTunes for Windows XP: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues
and
iOS: Troubleshooting backup issues in iTunes
Doing this:
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

How do i access data in my iCloud via my mac book air, nothing appears under the manage tab however it says i have consumed all data

I am trying to back up some documents in my icloud however i cannot seem to figure out how to store data there and also how to access the data that is there as it is saying i have used 499 out of 5GB. I bought additional data storage space yesterday thinking that this was the issue however it now says I have used 14.99 out of 15.
I have tried to view the content by clicking manage....all that appears is
25KB mail
0 backups
however there is no further information.
Pls help so frustrating.

Therefore, t there any way to just completely delete all the old backup data out of my Time Capsule from my prior Mac Laptop?
Here is how to do this:
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click Manual Setup
Click the Disks icon at the top of the AirPort Utility window
Click the Disks tab below the icons
Click Erase
The "Quick Erase" option will only take a moment or two
Now you can backup your MacBook Pro. If you connect an Ethernet cable from the MBP to one of the LAN <-> ports on the TC, the first backup will go 3-5 times faster than wireless.
Once you have the first backup done, you can use wireless for subsequent backups since they will only take a few minutes

Why does Googlemail not appear on the Start Page every time instead of going all through "more" and " even more etc, plus having to sign in even though I have ticked the Stay signed in box?

There is no consistency when one gets the Mozilla Firefox Start page.There is a line as follows :
Web Images Maps News Shopping Books more
To get Gmail one has to click on "more" which gets one a dropdown menu which ends in "even more" Clicking on this takes one to a page headed "Even More Google Products", including (Hurrah!) M Gmail.
Click on this and one gets the page where one signs in, even though I have ticked the box entitled " Stay signed in" and at last ones's e-mail page turns up. Very occasionally, instead of Books or Shopping on the Start Page "Gmail" is there which when clicked on takes one directly to one's e-mail.It seems a hell of a rigmarole just to get one's e-mail!

You can set Firefox home page to one of your choosing, see [[how to set the home page]].
If the keep me signed in option is not working, you may have a malformed cookie. Try deleting Google/Gmail cookies, for details on how to do that see [[deleting cookies]].

Why does my name appear on the iCloud account for everyone in my family?

There are four members of my family, and we each have our own Apple ID and password that we use to sign into iCloud. We also use a variety of devices -- iPhone, iPad, Safari on Mac, etc. When any of us sign on to iCloud, we see our own individual photo, but only my (Dad) name! For example, using her laptop, my daughter logs onto iCloud via Safari, using her own Apple ID and password, and then in the upper right hand of the screen there's a small photo of her and then my name! The problem is that we're now sharing pictures via Photo Stream, and when any of us make a comment, it seems that I'm the (only) one making the comment. I already went to the Apple Store and showed the Genius Bar guy what I'm talking about and he had no idea why this was happening or how to fix it. Help please!

Back up all data if you haven’t already done so. Before proceeding, you must be sure you can restore your system to the state it’s in now.
In the Finder, hold down the option key and select Go ▹ Library from the menu bar. From the Library folder, move the following items to the Trash, if they exist:
Application Support/Dock
Caches/com.apple.dock
and move the following item(s) to the Desktop:
Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.dock.*.plist
Preferences/com.apple.dock.db
Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist
Here “*” stands for a long string of letters and numbers. Log out, log back in, and test. If you still have the issue, put the item(s) on the Desktop back where they came from and post again. Otherwise, move the items on the Desktop to the Trash and empty.
