Why does my Extras window keeps asking me to reload the Firefox window and not uploading my new plug ins even after I've reloaded it already?

I have installed new versions of my plug ins and reloaded the Firefox page, but I noticed one of them wasn't working (the United States English Spellchecker 5.0.0) so I reinstalled it and rebooted the page once again. But it's not working and no matter how many times I reboot the page, it still asks me to do it. What can I do to solve this problem?
This is the first time it has happened.

This can happen if one of the files that stores details of installed extensions is corrupt. Try deleting those files as shown in the corrupt extension files section of the [[Unable to install add-ons#Corrupt extension files|unable to install add-ons]] article.

Why does a pop up screen ask me to extract the image using Lightroom Installer, when all I want to do is view it ?

My local computer shop solved the problem. Apparently when you download cloud it changes a lot of settings.
So second issue.
Why do I now get asked to burn to disc rather than saving to my hard drive when I want to export from Lightroom ?

Why is Firefox is crashing on opening. I have not installed any new plug-ins etc. since last using it successfully. I have attempted to open in safe mode but without success. Crash ID: bp-91282c25-7a56-4137-a436-ac0312111019

Why does Facebook Farmville 2 keep asking me to install flash player when it is already installed in firefox?

My os is windows 8.1. I use firefox. I play facebooks farmville 2. It keeps asking me to install the new 3d flash player which is already installed. I've followed your steps and nothing has worked. I cannot play farmville 2 on firefox because of the necessity of installing the flash player which is already installed.

Please uninstall MacKeeper, this is considered malware for OS X. Google it and you will find many many negative things about it. MacKeeper has it's own uninstall utility to uninstall itself, please use it. OS X unlike MS Windows does not need third party apps to keep itself in good shape, no antivirus apps, no "cleaning" apps etc. The very best thing you can do for your computer is keeping it up-to-date by using Software Update and using a small amount of common sense. While there is a very small amount of malware out there for OS X using that common sense part will help, for example don't visit torrent sites and download illegal software, do not download anything from a pop-up that says, "You must..."
In closing about MacKeeper please read this article by one of the more very knowledgeable people on these forums:

Why does my iPhone 6 keep asking me to enter my phone number to text? It's already in there but keeps popping up everytime I open messages

I have a iPhone 6 and every time I click on messages a pop-up will appear saying I need to enter a phone number to be able to message. It has two options "cancel" or "settings" so I select "settings" and it takes me to my message settings and my phone number is entered there so I will re enter it and click "save" and when I go back to messages it will pop up again. Any idea how to fix It? I've done all the updates and I have restarted my phone twice.

I think I figured it out. Did everyone, by any chance, have their device previously jailbroken? Then when they backed up their apps with iCloud, iCloud saved them? Then when trying to restore to a previous backup after upgrading to IOS6 all the apps showed up but just say waiting underneath? Well the reason it keeps asking for the apple id and password is because of those apps. As I noticed, the apps that are like that, when I tap on them the same window shows up asking for my info. All I did was erase the apps that were 'waiting' that were previously downloaded from when my iPad was jailbroken and I haven't gotten the little pop up since, its associated with the apps, I noticed that, but not exactly what its reasoning behind it is, probably because it is asking for your ID in order to download it, but when it can't connect, because of it being a pirated app, the device gets confused and when isn't able to download the first time, it will try again and continuously ask for your ID in order to confirm its download.
Hope this helps.
- After this upgrade I'm going to be avoiding jailbreaking and just deal with what I have to app wise.

Why does Adobe CC randomly keeping asking me to sign in?

I'm an Adobe CC subscriber (full suite) and I'll double click a JPG file which normally launches Photoshop CC. But every so often (once or twice a week) it doesn't launch Photoshop CC and instead launches CC Cloud "sign in" ??
Confused, I go ahead and sign in to CC Cloud which then takes me to my account web page with all my account details (name, address, etc.) and then a button the says "Update and Continue" ... so I click the button and it does a think and then returns back to the exact same Account Info page??
So I proceed by going back to Explorer and double click the JPG file, this time Photoshop CC opens up but then tells me to "Register the product"?? Good grief, how many times do I have to keep registering the same product?? This pretty much happens with All the CC suite of products, it's getting VERY annoying that I have to keep registering my products every 2-3 days just so I can work with CC?
Is this really what I have to look forward to with this new "Subscription" process? It's really NOT something I want to continue doing.
Rob.

Wow, no replies?
So now when I bring up Creative Cloud and fill out sign-in (Adobe ID and password), I just get the spinning wheel ... left it for 30 minutes and it just keeps spinning.
I'm sorry but this CC subscription process just isn't working and it's clearly NOT been tested.
I see many other threads of people having exactly the same problem, any solution?

Why does my iPhone 3gs keep getting kicked off of the internet?

When I start going onto the internet page the page comes on then as I amreading it it goes to black and back to the home page for the iphone.
Why does this happen?

Mine does that too. I was wondering if it was due to the OS and that sometimes its too much for the 3GS. I've had mine almost 3 years. Maybe someone more knowledgeable will help. :)
(i finally upgraded to the iPhone 5 so I'm looking forward to that!)

Why does my finder nest an iTunes music folder within my music folder and not let me delete it?

I'm working on the arduous task of combining and winnowing down my multiple iTunes libraries and music folders onto a single drive. The last thing I have to do is carve out the duplicate tracks from a time I tried to move my library to another drive and it rewrote all of my tracks and added a "1" to the file name (making it virtually impossible to use duplicate finder siftware.
In going systematically through every artist and album folder in my new iTunes/Music folder I found a subfolder called "Music" which essentially mirrors the folder it resides within. In that folder is another "Music" folder with exactlay the same comtents. It's like those russian dolls.
At first I though I found the reason why my folder was taking so much space on my drive (1.4 tb when it should noly be about 70 gb), so I though I would just delete it--but it will not allow me to, giving me the error code -8072.
Any thoughts out there?
Thanks for your time.

Here are typical layouts for the iTunes folders:
Your library is in the newer layout and you are trying to move/have moved the media folder (red outline) to D:\Music. The extra Music folder is supposed to separate other types of media within the iTunes Media folder.
If you don't want (or have room for) your library in the usual location of <User's Music>\iTunes, then you are usually much better off moving the entire iTunes folder to the root of your prefered drive, e.g. as D:\iTunes and accessing the relocated library by holding down shift as you start iTunes. The media folder would then be D:\iTunes\iTunes Media and music would end up at D:\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music\<Artist>\<Album>. Keeping this structure make moving the library easier in future.
Since it seems you've already started moving things around it is probably too late to move the library in a single step. See Make a split library portable for details of how you can proceed.

Why does my computer create web connections to addresses in the Amazon, Google and Youtube range when I start Firefox?

I think I already disabled all the updating functions, yet, SOMETIMES when I start Firefox, (with about:blank), my network monitor shows one to five connections to IP addresses mostly in the 74.125.225.x, 74.125.227.x, 74.125.228.x, and 72.21.x.x ranges. Those ranges include Google, Amazon, and Youtube.
I use Kaspersky, and have scanned multiple times for malware, and even had their technical support look into my computer. They see no malware. It is the Kaspersky Network Monitor that revealed the problem.
As I find them happening, I try to jot down the addresses, (quickly, because some of these connections only last a second or two), then add those to a firewall rule I created to try to combat the problem. Yet, next time I start, new addresses are "attacking". Of course, some get away, because I don't get the address jotted down before it goes away. At one point I used masking that ended up keeping me from Google and Youtube, so I have to add the addresses individually, and my block list in that one rule is 13 items long now. The only IPs not in those ranges are 23.5.251.27, and 173.194.46.5. Not sure where those go.
I used to get attacked by addresses in the range that includes Amazon ... 72.21.x.x. I have a separate firewall rule for them that has 33 addresses being blocked.
I should not have to do all that. Firefox should start and just sit there quietly until I start clicking or typing in it. This has been happening in Firefox versions going back to 11. May have gone on before that, but I wasn't tracking it then.
Also, it doesn't always happen, or, more precisely, with addresses I have not already blocked, (because my only way to know it's happening is when the connections are allowed to be made). It does not always happen right after Firefox is up, but sometimes several minutes later. I have started Firefox and just sat and watched the network monitor without doing anything in Firefox, and have seen this happen up to 15 minutes after I start Firefox ... mostly just two or three minutes when there's a delay at all.

Firefox does not do anything but sit on about:blank after I start it as long as I have a firewall rule enabled that completely blocks these subnets:
74.125.222.0/24
74.125.227.0/24
74.125.228.0/24
173.194.46.0/24
173.194.115.0/24
173.194.121.0/24
64.233.171.0/24
54.230.90.0/24
54.230.88.0/24
72.21.194.0/24
72.21.195.0/24
72.21.215.0/24
207.171.163.0/24
Otherwise, Fire fox creates connections to one to five addresses in those ranges. Note that there are more than 5 subnets above, but usually three connections satisfies whatever purpose these connections are being made for. If I had some links or whatever that is causing these connections, I would expect all of them would come up every time.
Also, these connections do not start immediately upon starting Firefox, they wait up to 15 minutes to start ... fifteen minutes of just sitting idle ... no actions on my part that could possibly initiate them. Usually these start within three minutes. A typical ploy of malware is to wait until no one is looking, or the until there's a forest to put their tree in so it won't be noticed.
While the above rules are in place, I do not have access to Amazon, Youtube, or Google, (or any of the various blog sites and services sponsored by Google, including Google Maps and Gmail). That list may not be complete, as I have other firewall rules in place that mainly block individual addresses.
It seems to me as simple as; figure out who owns those subnets, and you have your bad guys. Then go after them.
It's true that I have a bookmarks to Google, Gmail, and Youtube, but these are not "active" bookmarks nor RSS feeds. I have not voluntarily gone to Amazon on this computer.
The traffic being transmitted is unknown. It is usually not extremely large amounts of data ... less than a meg, but I have seen close to a Gig transmitted out of my computer, and over 400 meg transmitted to my computer, when I was not paying attention to block the offender. Even if it's small amounts, things like cookies, path structures, configuration settings, histories, etc. do not involve a lot of data, but, to me, represent a security breach, if someone decides to look at them unsolicited by me, not unlike your landlord, mortgage holder, or neighborhood police officer walking into your home while you're not there, and taking pictures of, or simply inventorying your belongings.
It is VERY much like some sort of backdoor malware. No malware is detected on my computer.
I looked at the suggestion above for OS changes for logging HTTP activity, but the author neglected to include instructions for backing out these changes after using them. If this were to create more jewels in a drawer the thief has access to, reformatting and restoring my drive is not the kind of back out process I enjoy. Therefore it would be foolish to apply them. To me it would be like bungee diving with no bungee. Fun until you hit the bottom. Give me the bungee, let me make sure it's short enough, then I'll dive.

I can not open my doc in pages it keeps asking me to download the lates version and when i go to apple store it is saying already installed, help please?

I can not open pages it keeps telling me to download the lates verison, does anyone know where that is?

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5.2 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Why does it seem like Apple uses support communities to find work-arounds, and not fix the issues found here?

The problem with iTunes clipping last 15-20 seconds of song playback to jump to next song has been a problem listed since 2009, and the only solutions are from community users. No official replies at all from Apple. Why is that? I'm currently having this problem with my iPad2 and latest IOS, with no idea what is causing the problem. They haven't even looked to a fix it seems

Due to phenomenal development in Windows, Microsoft released 4 generations of operating systems, succeeding Windows XP. Hence, on various aspects, Windows XP becomes too old to be used practically these days. So the support was pulled out.
I do agree that Windows XP is the most successful operating system ever, so far. But, later versions added more features, enhanced security and compatibility. Moreover, at this point, Windows XP becomes more vulnerable, although security patches are made.
Ultimately, we need to move to a more secure, feature-rich and highly compatible operating system.
With improved features in newer versions of Windows, the NTFS filesystem has also been improved, adding new features. Hence, certain feaures that are not availble in Windows XP are available in Windows 7, again, in Windows 8.1. So is the disk management
features.
As for Acronis Disk Director, it's a third party software and hence we can't comment on the features/its working.

Since I downloaded the firefox update I no longer have the firefox screen and not all my bookmarks will work. Why?

After I downloaded the latest update firefox as I knew it disappeared. The opening screen no longer shows the fox logo. The search box on the toolbar lists as conduit search. And I am finding that not all my bookmarks still work. Example-I have to go to att to access my mail. That is fine if that is the way it is supposed to work but if so I would like to know how to change my home screen--or at least the first thing I see when firefox opens to the att site as I generally use my computer for email. I am also accustomed to using google search and as I am a crazy old cat lady I am not really ready to change the way I am familiar with my computer.
Ideally, could I get the fox picture screen with the google search and the ability to click on the bookmark labeled mail back on my computer???
I am not computer literate unless it acts as it always has. Thanks, Dawn

hello dawn, please be aware that there are malicious websites out there which will trigger fake update notices/popups which try to trick you into downloading software bundled with adware. please never click on such websites or execute such files on offer - updates are handled automatically by firefox and you don't have to download any file for it (you can always manually check if you're up-to-date by going to ''firefox > help > about firefox'').
please try these steps to regain your firefox:
# [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|reset firefox]] (this will keep your bookmarks and passwords)
# afterwards go to firefox > addons > extensions and in case there are still extensions listed there, disable them.
# go to the windows control panel and remove all software recently installed where you don't know which purpose it has or otherwise looks suspicious.
# finally run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] and [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner] to make sure that adware isn't present in other places of your system as well.
