Why does FF think I want to enter text in Cuban Spanish?

Whenever I restart Firefox, the first time I try to enter text into a web form, I see all my English words underlined as if they were misspellings. So I right click and go to pick the language. It is always set to Cuban Spanish! So I reset it to US English and all is well again until the next time I restart the browser. Then we seem, once again, to be back to Cuban Spanish! Why does it always think I want to enter text in Cuban Spanish? When I check Preferences, the only language pref I can find is always set to US English. I even searched prefs.js and can find nothing about Cuban Spanish there.

jscher2000: Thanks for that suggestion! Ok, this is getting stranger and stranger.
1. In about:config, spellchecker.dictionaries was set to es_CU.
2. I used right mouse in a form field->Languages and set it to English (US).
3. Went back to about:config. Now set to en_US.
4. Restarted Firefox.
5. Looked at about:config. Now still set to en_US.
6. Right mouse in a form field->Lanuages: Spanish (Cuba) is checked.
7. Back to about:config. Now says es_CU.
I think I found the dictionaries that are at the root of this. In /usr/lib/firefox is a symbolic link, dictionaries->/usr/share/hunspell, a directory. That contains a few .aff and .dic files and many symlinks pointing to those (including es_CU.dic and es_CU.aff). I think I've found the key and it appears to be quite gnome or Ubuntu-specific. I will see what packages those files belong to and take it from there. Thanks for all the help.

Why does Adobe think we want addons Chrome and McAfee added to a simple FLASH update???????????

Presenting an update with addons like Chrome and McAfee to be installed nefariously directly run from the site is not good. Downloading the file after unchecking the box that I don't want mcafee messing up my computer one can install the update without that garbage. I don't want Chrome either.. Sure I have used it in the past but I don't want it now. It is just about impossible to use the web these days without flash activated unless you are an people and don't get it anyway.   Trying to piggyback that unwanted software on top of a Flash update is not cool! Its bad enough 3rd party downloads come with things like that but whats next some adware?    Please rethink your update policies as getting that stuff installed is doing no one that doesn't want it any favors at all.

Adobe does not think that anyone wants these 3rd-party add-ons. However, they have to fund a development team for the free software they provide; that's why/how they try to recover some of that funding.
I can understand they need money for their product yet they are the ones that bought macromedia and supported it on the web for years. I can remember when pdf files were new so new it stopped BART from allowing it through the network I was on. Do they not make enough money off of Photoshop? I realize if a network wants to support flash on macs they need to buy a another server option to make it work. I just find it deplorable the way it is done. In fact the check box is somewhat skillfully camouflaged on the update page.
Updates should not come with trickery in the update choice to tick the correct switch off (check box) to not have 3rd party unwanted choices.   The difference between the save vs run update from their site makes a difference in which way it comes to you as the default run from the adobe site is it comes with mcafee and chrome browser not the OS. This is not useful for the average jo computer user that has no clue.
What is next Babylon toolbar?    Have you ever seen the video of John McAfee explaining how to uninstall mcafee av? Perhaps you would understand the frustration of the users that encounter this.

This is a user forum; it is not "our" policy!
It may be your forum but its at adobe.com and supposedly the place found to ask questions. Its the only place I could find without writing a letter to adobe.
At least a dozen times every day someone posts the links to the offline installers, which are not bundled with any 3rd-party software. Why not use these instead of complaining...?
You might put up some links too the offline installers, however why should I trust some offline installer that may have adware, malware, or some other chumpware silkroped to it?
On top of that its adobe's updater that is notifying the user of update needed.      It appears the updates can come two different ways from adobe and may depend on if it is updating for ie or mozilla too.

Why does Perl 5.12 want to connect to daryl.dostech.ca and who the heck is Daryl?

After recently installing Lion I'm getting a lot of Little Snitch hits from Perl. WTH? OK, I know perl is a proramming language great for string manipulation and widely used in network programming but why does something like that want to connect to a guy like Daryl? I did a little investigation and it seems he runs or has something to do with the Spamassassin open sourcing here: http://spamassassin.apache.org/
OK, fine. So mail spam filtering? Great! But mail isn't running on this computer and I'm not running a mail server either. So why is OS X Lion wanting to connect to this guy?

HT201401 Why does it take so long to send text message iPhone 5

Why does it take so long to send text messages on iPhone 5?

What is telling you that it takes a long time? Do you have a good cellular signal when trying to send a text. Text messages are controlled by the carrier. What troubleshooting have you done on the phone?

HT3529 I'm sending an iMessage from my iPhone to another iPhone but the recipient phone does not receive message because not on wifi. Why does recipient iPhone not automatically receive in text messaging?

I'm sending an iMessage from my iPhone to another iPhone but the recipient phone does not receive message because not on wifi. Why does recipient iPhone not automatically receive in text messaging?

Wi-Fi is not required for iMessage. Internet access is required for iMessage which includes when the iPhone is connected to the cellular network.
If an iMessage cannot be sent, it will fail to send and you will be prompted to send as an SMS if text only.

Why does samsung s4 mini lock up when texting?

why does samsung s4 mini lock up when texting?

Hello there, dandj2012! I regret any issues you're seeing when trying to text. I have to admit that I have no familiarity with any issues with device locking, but I'm eager to find out why it may be happening with your device.
Can you describe the issue? Do you use WiFi in some locations? If so, do you notice if this happens when connected to WiFi? Also, are you using the preloaded messaging app or have you installed any from the Store?

Why does iTunes think my iPad is a new one?

When I connect my otherwise happy iPad to iTunes, iTunes says "This computer has previously been synced with an iPad or another iOS device" and wants me either to "set up as new iPad" or "restore from the backup of <my iPad name>". Of course it's just the same iPad I've connected, so why does iTunes not recognise it as such?
This happened before, and I know if I select "Restore from the backup of <my iPad name>", it deletes and restores all the apps and media content, but in the process I lose all data e.g. progress in games, data and configurations entered into apps etc.
This is iTunes 10.2.2.12 on Win 7 64-bit, iPad 16GB with iOS 4.3.1.
Any suggestions what I can do? Even if I have to restore from backup, is there a way I can prevent this happening again?

I'm having same problem! I tried the trick of unplugging right after the sync begins and the only thing my iPad does is give me a sync failure message and restarts itself. I plug ipad back in and get same message??? I've emailed iTunes support and they have not been able to help. I tried all the standard stuff like de-authorizing/athorizing, checked that my iPad iOS is the latest version (which it is), latest version of iTunes installed (even uninstalled/reinstalled iTunes). No matter what I try cannot get around this message. I too have tons of app settings/configurations that get lost if I go thru the restore option. I actually tried the restore option out of frustration, lost all of my configurations AND still get the same message - seems like my iPad is caught up in a loop no matter what I try. To make matters worse, my iTunes library got lost as all my songs are showing up with an '!' next to each song (meaning it cannot locate the file). I checked and they are truely missing so when I go to my purchased music all of my purchases show up (all 4000+ of them) however are all listed as 'Downloaded' in the right margin??? My true objective here is to be able to transfer my purchases on my iPad to my iTunes as my iPad is complete as far as all apps/recent purchases. HELP !!! Thanks

Why does my Time Capsule want to do COMPLETE backups every time?

I'm still new to this Time Capsule, only had it about a week, and i'm still trying to figure it out. I have an old LaCie Hd that i was using for my Time Machine backups before, with 2 partitions, for 2 different computers both running different OS's....1 Snow Leopard, and 1 Lion.
Now i just got this Time Capsule, and i am under the impression that i don't need to partition anything? I can't anyway, as it is a .sparseimage file. But i should be able to back up all my macs to the same Time Capsule HD. But why is it when i want to back up my Snow Leopard OS and/or Lion OS - that it wants to do a complete backup of all 400+ GB of stuff? I don't change any settings, i just let it do its thing, but when i look at it in the Time Machine/System Preferences it is gathering everything up and taking forever.
Why does it want to keep backing up my entie computer and not just what's new after the first initial backup? Thanks

Correct. Time Machine will make a separate sparse bundle for each Mac.
Why does it want to keep backing up my entie computer and not just what's new after the first initial backup?
The first backup of each Mac to the Time Capsule will be a full one (not just the changes since the last backup to the LaCie). And that's pretty slow over WIFI, so it's a good idea to do the first one via Ethernet.
Are you saying that both Macs' initial, full backups to the Time Capsule were completed, but subsequent ones are full backups again? If so, see #D7 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.

Why does the Notes app want Keychain access?

Does anyone know why Notes wants keychain access? It started when I downgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion. The dialong also won't accept 'no' for an answer. If I select "Deny" it just repeats the question and the only options are to close the program or allow access. Since it doesn't allow secure notes, why does it need the keychain, and why present a dialog with no choices?

Try going to Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access/Secure Notes and see if there is an entry there. If so, you'll need to decide if you want to keep it or not.

When you say "off" do you mean it sleeps and comes back on instantly when you press the HOME or SLEEP buttons, or really turns off, so when you turn it back on you have to wait a couple of minutes for it to boot?

Because your mail server keeps rejecting it.

Why does Reader for Android want access to my GMail?

I was about to update Adobe Reader on my Droid X just now and decided to review what changes were being made to the application's permissions. Apparently now I would have to "Allow this application to access: Your messages (read Gmail)"
Why would Adobe Reader need access to my Gmail messages?

This unexplained change in required privileges is totally unacceptable.
I am only one of many who are posting in Market feedback that we will not update to this latest version until a reasonable explanation is given.
As with Apple's "LocationGate", a failure to communicate early, clearly and accurately will cause (is causing?) a major negative reaction among users.
Adobe needs to either give a credible reason for this change or roll out an update that doesn't require access to our Gmail.
A further reason to be concerned about this privilege request: they want to access Gmail, but make no request to access our other email accounts via "messaging". Why just Gmail?
Update: their revised release note mentions access to standard email with this update, but still does not request permission to do so. This makes the Gmail privilege all that more suspicious. As for their claim this is needed to open PDF attachments, the prior version did this without Gmail access permission
In any case, I'm joining the update boycott until this is explained or removed.

Why does the app store want me to give a credit card number to get a free app?

Hello; I've never used my apple account to purchase one thing, yet while I'm signed in to the app store, and I try to down load one of the free apps, I am asked to provide a credit card number. So my question is why must I give such info.? After all, I am not making a monetary purchase. Please explain, for I am confused. If one is required regardless, well , I guess I need to close my apple account, for I disagree with the practice.

I suppose you could think of it as establishing a formal account for general and future use. What usually happens is that your card is tested by charging a nominal amount to it (which is refunded within a day or two). Once that is established you will find a 'None' option will appear when you want to download a free app which indicates no payment.
All purchases made will be recorded on your purchase list whether paid for or not.
There is also a system to purchase without a credit card. See ...
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card

Why does the song I want to buy just say "play" instead of buy?

I want to buy a song, but iTunes just says play. WHY???

That means that the iTunes Store thinks you have already purchased the song.
