  • Why does my memory use always max out and lock up.  iPhoto and iTunes are the only apps open.

    I also upgraded the momory to 8 gig and the problm is on going

    Open Activity Monitor, Show:>All Processes, sort on CPU%, see if anything using too much CPU% when this happens, click on Memory tab, do you have many Pageouts? Click on the Disk Usage tab, how much free space?
    Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
    In the Memory tab, are there a lot of Pageouts?

  • The + button or "open a new tab" does not correspond. I also tried with Ctrl+T but I can not open a new tab unless I click on a link in the existed tab. What can I do?

    I have seen nothing relevant in options

    The Ask Toolbar is causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13+ versions. Uninstall that extension.
    There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
    * Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
    * Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

  • My browser will not open new tabs. The "+" doesn't open a new tab nor does going through File- new tab.

    The only way it opens a tab is if I right click on something on a site and hit open in new tab.

    The Ask Toolbar is causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13 version. Evidently something in that extension isn't compatible with a Firefox security fix. Disable that extension or un-install it.

  • Safari 5.1.9 Why can't we set up Safari to open a new tab by clicking on a hyperlink?

    I have a MacBook Pro with Mac OS X 10.6.8, using Safari 5.1.9.
    I was wondering why Safari doesn't have the option so that a new tab is opened after clicking on a hyperlink, and to avoid the need to control click?

    I just learnt, by accident, that simply clicking the 'Open Apple' button the 'select' button opens a new tab when accessing a hyperlink.
    'select' is the word I am using for an older MacBook Pro button which is located at the bottom of the trackpad.
      Which is a satisfactory answer to my question.
       Cheers.

  • Why does my safari browser frequently gives me a gray screen? I resetted my safari many times and it doesn't help. Also sometimes when I scroll it gives me this weird scrolling effect where everything is either upside or messed up.

  • Why does my Safari shut down when loading a page?

    Why does my Safari shut down when I'm trying to load a page?

    Is this for a Mac? You posted in the Beta for Windows section, you might want to try the Beta for Mac pages instead and see if anyone there know a good fix. Is this just with Adobe's PDF reader, or with Preview too? A workaround could simply be switching to a different reader, if you simply cannot find what causes the crashes. A clean reinstall might do the trick, if you haven't done so already.
    If this is on Windows than I would recommend downloading the PDF plugin from http://www.apple.com/safari/download/plugins.html

  • Why does my safari quit when i'm typing in information

    Why does my safari quit when I in the middle of using it.  Generally this happens when I'm typing information into a form of some kind.   Quits for no reason and goes back to the screen saver.  On the middle of the screen appears a block with the following.  Ignore  Cancel Relauch

    Reset Safari, click on the Safari menu item then select Reset Safari. That may help.

  • Why does the tab button in Safari close safari and not open a new tab?

    Why does the tab button in Safari close Safari and not open a new tab?

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

  • Why does my safari crash every time I hit the   to open another tab?

    Every time I hit the + in the upper right hand corner on Safari to open a new tab, it crashes and closes out. This happened after I plugged my iPad into my computer to sync it. Does anyone have an idea what happened. I tried turning the iPad off and back on but that did not fix it.

  • Everytime I click on a link or shortcut it opens a new tab, why doesnt it open it on the tab im on?????? it does it for everything!

    Every time I press on a shortcut or a link it used to open them on the tab that I was on, but now it always opens a new tab for everything and it is making me mad.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
    *Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

  • Why does Yahoo Search appear when I open a new tab, when Google is my default homepage?

    Ever since I upgraded to 4.0, when I open a new tab the yahoo search page appears, but my homepage is www.google.com.
    I have three tabs open at all times on my main foxfire window and always ask to restore them: Yahoo mail (my account), www.imdb.com, and http://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/. Anytime I open a new tab http://search.yahoo.com/?fr=freeze&type=W3i_NA,132,3_6,Tab%20Search,20110104,6894,0,16,0 appears, but my default homepage is set to www.google.com.
    Interestingly, when I open a new window for firefox my default homepage of www.google.com appears, but http://search.yahoo.com/?fr=freeze&type=W3i_NA,132,3_6,Tab%20Search,20110104,6894,0,16,0 appears when I open new tabs.
    Why????
    Very annoying, but the highest of priorities.
    Thanks.

    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.
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
    In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
    * Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

  • Why does right clinking on link and selecting open in new tab does not work?

    Why does right clinking on link and selecting open in new tab does not work?
    It opens up a blank page. The only way to make the link work is to click on the navigation bar in the new tab and press enter to reload the link.

    Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?<br/> ''A troubleshooting mode.''<br />
    1.You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut. <br />
    2. Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut to open it again.''
