Why does Firefox leak memory after. I do the same operations in Firefox and Safari, Firefox in some cases uses over 500 MB of RAM, Safari uses about 50 MB

After opening and closing 5 windows in Firefox and Safari, at rest Firefox still claimed (approx.) 500MB of real memory, Safari return all memory and claimed only (approx.) 50MB at rest (all windows closed). My laptop starts over heating when browsing just simple information pages in Firefox. This still happens after updating to the latest browser.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration 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 am I getting two different conversations when the same person txts me and sends me an I message? I thought they should be in the same conversation?

Why am I getting two different conversations when the same person txts me and sends me an I message? I thought they should be in the same conversation?

I'm experiencing something similar. My conversations are kept together but if the screen is opened to a conversation and I receive a text from that person it doesn't show up on the screen. The message alert in the upper corner indicates a new text but I have to back out of the screen and go back in to read it.

Why does Frame 10 print 3 copies of the same chapter when I print a book to pdf?

I am printing a multi-chapter book. The table of contents generates perfectly but when I go to print the pdf of the book, Frame prints 3 duplicate copies of each chapter and TOC. Why is it doing this and how can I turn off this 'feature'? It is a pain to have to keep deleting the chapters from the pdf in Acrobat.
Thanks

> Maybe you have the print dialog set to print 3 copies.
And that could have been set in the application printer dialogs, or in the operating system printer setup/preferences (or both, but then you'd get 9).
It can also be set locally on some printers, but I suspect that's not what's happening here.
Is everything in the book tripled-printed, or just some?
Is it printed cover-toc-body 3 times, or cover-cover-cover, tocx3, bodyx3?
Are other PDFs printing correctly to the same printer (using the same driver)?

HT4623 Why does my iPad keep bumping me off the app I am on. Have to keep going back in over and over.

Why does my mini pad keep bumping me off apps and I have to completely go back in.?

App instability can usually be remedied by quitting all apps (Double tap the Home button and swipe the app preview page up)
then
Reset: Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons and don’t let go until the screen goes dark and the Apple logo appears (no data will be lost)

Why does my brand new printer always print the same 1. thing that i printed before

when i try to print something else it always prints the same thing i dont know why i deleted that old files but it still prints the old thing

I would check to make sure the print queue is empty. I would also check the temp files on the computer (and anywhere else that a copy of it could exist depending on what operating system you are using) for that print item.
Also, make sure there is not a virus on the system. Those can do some weird things when certain conditions happen. Not likely just not something to overlook.

I recently created a new iPhoto library, why does it now show 2 iPhoto libraries the same and 1 being my new one when I hold option and open iPhoto at the same time?

I recently created a new iphoto library. It seems now that when I hold down the option key and open iphoto I now have 2 iphoto libraries (both the same library) as well as my new library which is now my default as I intended but why would I now have 2 listed the same in this box? When I go to finder>pictures there is only the 2!! I hope I am making sense!

Try the following to see if you can get rid of the ghost:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
or with Lion and Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE 1: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

Why does my TC no longer tell me the date of my Oldest and Latest Backups?

When I go to Time Machine Preferences, all I see next to "Oldest Backup" and "Latest Backup" is "---". For the first several months, I was told these dates. (It does tell me when the "Next Backup" will happen.)
Why did my Time Capsule stop telling me this information?
How do I make it tell me this information?

I assume you've tried a reboot of your Mac and TC? This will force the Mac to consider the TC backup "untrustable" and do a full check of it against what's on your Mac.

Why does do shell work differntly from running the same bash script in terminal?

i have the following a/s:
set scriptPath to quoted form of ((POSIX path of (path to me)) & lnThumb)       set ftn to ""      repeat           try                do shell script scriptPath & " " & ppath & " " & ftn                exit repeat           on error error_message number error_number                 if error_number is not -128 then                     set ftn to (choose file with prompt "select folder thumbnail" default location dir without invisibles)                     set ftn to quoted form of the POSIX path of ftn                end if           end try      end repeat
calling this bash script:
#!/bin/bash -f   cd "$1" rm ./folderthumb.jpg   if [ $# -gt 1 ] then      ft=${2/#"$1"\//} else      ft=$(awk '/folderIcon=/{printf("%s",$1)}' meta.properties | sed s/folderIcon=// )      if [ 0$ft -eq 0 ]       then          exit 1      fi      ft="thumbs/"$ft fi ln -s $ft ./folderthumb.jpg exit 0
which works as expected when run from the cli:
tomw> /Applications/imageProc/fixJAlbum.app/Contents/Resources/Scripts/lnThumb.sh `pwd` `pwd`/thumbs/P1040161.JPG   tomw> ls -l folderthumb.jpg lrwxr-xr-x 1 tomw admin 19 Oct 22 10:36 folderthumb.jpg -> thumbs/P1040161.JPG
but fails to strip the common directory when called from do shell:
tomw> ls -l folderthumb.jpg   lrwxr-xr-x 1 tomw admin 89 Oct 22 10:36 folderthumb.jpg -> /Users/tomw/Desktop/trip2albequerque/albequerque/oldRailyards2nobHill/thumbs/P1 040133.JPG
w-t-f???

Click on the "Use Advanced editor" on the upper Right of the edit box.

Click on the >> icon then select "Syntax Highlighting" -> "Plain"

Why does an update for iOS 7 require the entire operating system to be downloaded again? (over 1gB?)

Hi, i just got a message stating my recently downloaded iOS7 needs updating. When I go to do that, it begins downloading a ridiculously large 1.2 Gb file, but I thought it's only an update, seems ridiculous that one would be required to download such a huge file, especially when one is on a data plan with limited amounts of data......!?

Yes, I have. My system was completely cleaned of everything and I'm just now RE-INSTALLING CS2 for Windows2000 XP from the Adobe site that gives you versions to select for your OS. I have successfully downloaded disks 1,2 and 3 and I can INSTALL disks 1 and 2, but it FAILS at disk 3. I REALLY need to resolve this today because I need to submit some work by tomorrow and the troubleshooting isn't helping!
Can you advise anything else . . . anyone? Thank you!

My Firefox home page doesn't look the same since I installed and then uninstalled "Inbox".

My home page used to show the Firefox logo (fox encirling the globe) with a Google search bar below. Now I just have the logo and a searchbar, but the search bar doesn't work. I enter a keyord, hit enter and nothing happens.
The only change I made was I inadvertently installed (and then uninstalled) "Inbox".
I loved my old standard, plain Firefox home page and I miss it terribly. Please help.

You can try to delete the file chromeappsstore.sqlite in the Firefox Profile Folder.

Why does my IPAD 1, kick me out of a web page/site and return me to my home page?

Why does my IPAD 1, kick me out of a web page/site and return me to my home page?

Probably a glitch in Safari.
Quit Safari - double tap the Home button to reveal the multi-tasking window at the bottom. Swipe sideqays until you see the Safari icon. Tpa-and-hold until the red circle/hwite bar appears, then tap that to close Safari. You might do that with all the icons to be sure.
Tap the Home button to close multi-tasking.
Restart the device (hold Home and Sleep for around 10 seconds untl the Apple logo appears).
Fingers crosed, that'll fix it

Why does't Flashplayer work after I agreed to an update from an Adobe pop-up box prompt?

I had problems last year when Flashplayer stopped working suddenly. After months of seeking help, I received instructions that fixed the problem...until the other day. A pop-up box from Adobe appeared indicating an update was available. I agreed to installing the update and the Flashplayer has not worked since. I referred to my notes from the "fix" last year and made one adjustment in the Active-X settings, but this did not help. Flashplayer still does not work. Help! I just don't think I can go through this for several months again.

Hi,
I am going to try reorganizing my reply first and
just forwarding to you before I try to recover a
message. I think the problem may be that I
provided answers within your text instead of
separately. Your system may not like the format
I tried. So here goes.... I have pulled my
answers out of your message and they appear in
the order of your inquiries below.
“Check the Windows system tray carefully to make
certain no applications are still in memory which
might possibly use Flash Player.” –a statement
from the Adobe Un-install link article. I don't
know what “in memory” means. The only things I
have that may use Flashplayer that I know of is
the Weather Bug. Windows Mediaplayer is also
listed in my programs, but I have never used it.
Also, there is no mention of Norton here, but
Norton Internet Security ’09 is what I have installed.
1. No Firefox. MSN Exlorer is listed among my
Programs, but I have never used it. It was
likely installed by Dell when I purchased the computer.
2. Norton Internet Security '09. Bell Internet
Security - Alert is listed in my programs (with
options, including uninstall) but this is the first time I have noticed it.
3. Norton Internet Security has a firewall with
it that I understand is way better than Windows.
4. There is a Google toolbar, Norton toolbar and
a bunch of stuff listed in the Manage Add-ons
like Skype, Adobe and Sun Java Console which I think are add-ons.
Java Webstart is listed under Accessories in
Programs. In Programs is Adobe Distiller 6.0,
Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Standard, Adobe (which is
empty), Adobe.com and Adobe Reader 9. I did not find DLM or GetPlus.
I found no listing for Shockwave Flash
Object. You did not ask this and I don't mean to
get ahead of you but in case there is relevance,
I looked in Internet Options, Security, Custom
and saw a number of reference to Active X and
plug-ins, some of which are disabled; others enabled.
From reading in your posts to mlmarg, I saw the
instructions for finding the Flash folder and
used them. I used Explorer to access My
Computer,, C Drive, Folder 1386, Folder System
32. There are 2 items in it from 2002 but not
what I think you want. The 2 are SMSS.EXE and
NTDLL.DLL. If this is not correct, I will need your instructions to locate it.
I will ask because I don't always understand
what you are asking of me. Thanks.

Why does my itunes crash after start up with an "APPCRASH" error every time i open it?! I have been trying to fix this for weeks but all i can do it re-install it every other day which does nothing!

Why does my itunes crash after start up with an "APPCRASH" error every time i open it?! I have been trying to fix this for weeks but all i can do it re-install it every other day which does nothing! I am desperate to get access to my itunes to get music on my phone and all of this just makes me want me to sell my iphone since there is no other way to add music to my phone. If things go get sorted soon you can say goodbye to my support.

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

Why does my phone disconnect after 4 hours of call time

why does my phone disconnect after 4 hours of call time? Is there anyway I can change this?

You mean that you're on a single call for 4 hours continously, and then it disconnects?
If so, contact your wireless carrier. That's a cellular connection issue.
