Why does my preferred desktop display immediately switch to another display when I open an icon on the current desktop?

why does my preferred desktop display immediately switch horizontally to another display when I open an icon on the current desktop?

That's not a shortcut you are creating with "save as", you are saving a copy of the webpage to your desktop - hence the folder with files for that webpage.

Why does it keep telling me that my account is locked when I am trying to buy the iphone 4s?

Why does it keep telling me that my account is locked when I am trying to buy the iphone 4s?

Why does what tell you that what account is locked?
The Apple Store says your itunes account is locked?
Your carrier says your wireless account is locked?
Your bank account?

Why does it say my iphone is linked to another library when trying to add ringtones

why does it say my phone is synced to another library, if I want to proceed with syncing music it asks to erase contents and sync with current info. How do I know all my contacts on my phone are saved if it wants to erase info?

Apple's intention is that you manage an iPhone from a single library. If you connect to a different library iTunes wants to wipe everthing out and start over.

Why does my iMac now ask for my login and password when trying to drag anything to the trash?

Hello,
I have the new iMac and am now having issues trying to delete anything off my desktop. It is telling me that Finder wants to make changes when I try to drag anything to the trash. I have to constantly resubmit my login and password and then the item just disappears, does not remain in the trash to be emptied later.
I am not sure what happened because it never acted like this. All of my software updates are current and I don't get why my Trash is no longer working as it used to.
Any advice?
Thanks!

1. Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/.Trash
2. Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Show Info
from the contextual menu.* An Info dialog should open.
3. The dialog should show "You can read and write" in the Sharing & Permissions section. If that's not what it shows, click the padlock icon in the lower right corner of the window and enter your password when prompted. Use the plus- and minus-sign buttons to give yourself Read & Write access and "everyone" No Access. Delete any other entries in the access list.
4. In the General section, uncheck the box marked Locked if it's checked.
5. From the action menu (gear icon) at the bottom of the dialog, select Apply to enclosed items and confirm.
6. Close the Info window and test.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). Open a TextEdit window and paste into it (command-V). Select the line you just pasted and continue as above.

Why does my iPhone 6 not show up in my computer when it's plugged in with the USB cable?

Hello
I have an Iphone 6 for about one week now. I would like to view my photos and movies on my laptop (windows 7). But I can't view them because it doesn't show up as a portable device in my computer. When I plug it in I do hear the sound as if any USB would make.
Does anyone know what's going on? Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks a lot!

I had the same problem on my Iphone 5. It drove me crazy. I tried reinstalling ITunes and my apple mobile device driver, but nothing solved the problem. I was able to detect my iphone in windows if I went to control panel, then programs and features, found apple mobile device, right click, then click repair. This would allow windows explorer to detect my iphone, but I had to do this every time and it also drove me crazy, After trying everything I could think of, I decided to try and uninstall a program called expresso media. I am not sure where it even came from, but walla, once I uninstalled it my iphone shows up in explorer and iTunes just like it should. Simple but frustrating. Good luck,

Why does Magic Bullet looks crash my After Effects and computer when I open it?

I don't really know how else to explain. I've tried re-installing both. I don't know what else to do. I'm on After Effects CS5.

Just updated my display drivers.
Then un-update them. MBL is, after all, driven by OpenGL and may frown on the slightest variation there. Also inquire with Red Giant Software what driver versions they support.

Why does Firefox 4 and 5 not ask anymore, it should safe all open tabs before quitting the program as it did in the 3.x versions?

Is there a way to make Firefox 5 ask when quitting the program weather it should safe all open tabs for the next time. In versions 3.x it always asked and reopened the same tabs on next program start.
I could not find the preference to get this very useful feature back or did the programmers take it out of the new versions?

See item #31 (#tabslost) in the following
-- you can turn option on at end and then tabs will be restored whether you do or don't or don't restore tabs at end you still have the same chance through the History menu. to restore your previous session and then to restore previous windows
You can make Firefox 4.0.1 and '''Firefox 5.0''' look like Firefox 3.6.17, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 look like 3.6)]

Why does apple keep asking what my apple id password is when i open a app? and when i don't have wi-fi, i can't open the either. it just shuts down.

hi my name is vitrieh kromontono.
i have a problem with my ipod touch 5th generation.
thank you.

vitrieh kromontono

Likely yo have an app or other iTunes medai trying to download or not completly downloaded.. What happens when you enter the password when connect to wifi?
You can try the standard fixes:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Go to Settings>iTunesd and App stores and sign out and sign back in
- Sync to your computer
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Why does my iPhone shows "restricted" on other people's phone when I call them?

Why does my iPhone shows "restricted" on other people's phone when I call them?

Lena the only previous e-mail message was on Tuesday Dec 30 which stated…..
Lets get your Caller ID to work as it should! I will send you a private message so that we can better assist.
This e-mail states that another ‘private message’ presumably via e-mail would be sent/received but I haven’t received anything else from an e-mail perspective. Presumably it is just a matter of navigating through a low number of settings to get to the caller-id option.
Thank you,

When I open a new website, the page does not open, instead it places a tab in the bottom task bar? How can I change the settings so as when I open a new website the page is automatically displayed on my desktop. Thank You!

Please help. I feel like something fishy is going on.....

What model is your Mac? Go to Apple > About This Mac > More Info.
It should either say something like "Early 2010 iMac" or "MacBook 5,2"

Why does my MacBook Pro make background music and video quieter when I am on FaceTime?

Why does my MacBook Pro make background music and video quieter when I am on FaceTime? When my girlfriend and I are trying to watch a movie on Netflix together while on FaceTime my MacBook Pro always decreases the volume of any background sound on my computer so I can barely hear it. Is there a way to fix this? Thank you!

Have the same issue too. Apple can you please change this annoying feature. You are making long distance relationships more difficult.
I like how Facetime was with the old iOS, where nothing was dimmed. OR at least maybe if you could give users the option to turn on or off dimming of facetime.
