Why does my screen blank and need to be refreshed when I switch between multiple open tabs and is there a fix to this?
If I have one tab open at a site, and then open a new tab to a different website, when I click back on my other tab the screen is a blank gray color and I have to refresh it to get the site back. This happens almost every time I switch between my open tabs, no matter which tab I am going back to. I am not having this problem in any other browsers. This has only started happening in the last couple of months and it has gotten really annoying. Does anyone know how I can stop this?
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.<br />
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.<br />
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Why can I no longer send links to websites? Clicking File>Send Link doesn't work nor does right clicking on the mouse. Both worked prior to Firefox 6. I also can't send emails to websites that don't spell out their address but instead say "to send an email click here". Everything works fine in Chrome and Safari but not in Firefox.
OK well after first reverting to an older version of firefox to get my right click menu options back I have since discovered one way that works but at a cost.
By using the addon menu-editor it is possible to move the EMAIL LINK button from the file menu to the (Main Context Menu) ie the "right click menu" BUT you will loose the file menu button as there is no way to clone the button and only move a copy. Bunch of clowns that decided to do this I really don't know what they were thinking. Very VERY stupid move.
Here is a link to the only option that works https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/menu-editor/
Can you fellows/chaps <!--buggers--> at least provide a clone and move option in the menu-editor? -
Why does the App store say 'download' to OSX Mavericks when i have already downloaded the update, and restarted the computer?
I can't find Mavericks icon on the dashboard or launchpad either! Help!It sounds like you've installed Mavericks. You can confirm this by clicking on the Apple located at the top left of the screen and choosing "About This Mac" from the menu. You should see a window appear with the text "Version 10.9.1" near the middle.
If it says "Version 10.9.1", then you've installed Mavericks. It still says "Download" in the App Store because you can still download the operating system after installing it. This is useful if you want to download it for a friend, or create a USB boot drive.

I am running Snow Leopard and have run the Keychain repair a few times to no avail.
Is there a fix for this or do I have to find another email program?This is frequent, not just occasionally. All cancel does is stop the email from coming through until I provide the password.
I thought about it being on the provider's end but it never happened when I was using Entourage, I just don't particularly like that program.
I don't understand why this problem has gone on so long without Apple doing something to fix it but I will continue to look for alternatives to the Apple Mail program. If I find a good one I will let all know through avenue.
Thanks again to all who tried to help. -
When in dark mode, I'm unable to see the definitions on the screen when I'm looking up a word. Is there a fix for this?
Looking up definitions on the screen using Apple Dictionary? What application? Using shift+command+4, capture what you are referring to, and then use the camera icon in this posting toolbar to include it in your response.

Ipod touch 4g - sound comes out one earphone loud and the other softly. I've tried other headphones with same result. is there a fix for this ?
Clean out/blow out the headphone jack. Insert/remove the heaphone plug a dozen times or so
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>GeneralReset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a bad headphone jack
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours
Apple - Support - iPod - Repair pricing
A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

I just got an upgraded hard drive for my laptop about a week ago and I have nothing but Windows 7 and Adobe on it along with an AntiVirus program. It was performing very fast and then 3 days ago my internet programs started running really slow and stalling/freezing. Is there anything I can do?
yeah i've had the same problem with screen freezing. takes a while for it to come back also. says it's not responding.

I have some problems with the space on my Iphone 4s. I always get a message that says that I can't rec or can't take another picture because I don't have enough space on my phone. When I go to settings and check, my photo's and video's use almost 10GB (9,8GB). I have 407 pictures and 101 video's (not very long videos, more like short but many). In total i have 508 photo's and video's in my camera roll. My friends have like over a thousand pictures and video's, but they haven't used like 10GB of their space. So why does my 508 picutures and videos use som much more space??
Videos add up fast. A 30 second video on a 4S could easily be 85 MB. 101 of these would be almost 8.6 GB. Add 407 photos at 3 MB each and you reach 9.8 GB.
I would suggest you import some of these to your computer (especially some of the vidoes) and delete them from your phone, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083. -
Why does the screen background picture get reset to default when switching user
iMac with OS X 10.6.8
I have several user accounts on this iMac, each with a different wallpaper chosen from a common folder (library/desktop/nature) in the top level of the hard drive. (Which exists – can always reset background picture from this folder)
When I switch from one user account to another, the wallpaper picture, set on the previous login, appears for a moment and then is immediately replaced by the default blue.
This happens when switching from any user to another. I tried restarting the system but the problem is still there.
This problem just suddenly started and there have been no upgrades or changes to OS X.
Ideas appreciated!!I've found the answer.
Today, the problem suddenly appeared on my other Mac, which made me look at recent apps..
I installed Team Viewer a month ago, (which is a great app apart from this) so quit it and removed it from the dock. Problem solved!!
The odd thing is that the problem appeared only after I had been using Team Viewer for some weeks. -
My computer was shut down with live work still needing to be completed within an open tab of Firefox. The site that I was working from had not been bookmarked and a saved link back to the site had not been done yet either. After starting my laptop back up and opening Firefox, I don't have anything in the history taking me back to the site. Can I get back to that session at all and if so how? Or how do I search?
You would really have to ask the app developer if there is a way to export the data.
As for adding a printer, you would need to purchase an AirPrint compatible printer and connect it to your wireless network.
By the way, your holiday letter/rant/Idon't even know what to call it... is completely inappropriate for these forums. -
Why does Finder think a file or folder is modified when it has only been opened (not re-saved)?
I try to use the Finder to sort my folders and files by Date Modified so I can quickly access my current projects/files/folders and keep them on the top of the list. Whenever I open an older file to just see what's in it Finder thinks that the file has been modified. I don't change anything or re-save it, I just open it and close it. This makes the Date Modified sort pretty much identical to the Date Last Opened sort.
1) Is there a way to stop this behavior?
2) Is there a way to sort by Date Last Saved?Please re-read my original question and post. Your answers don't help me and I wonder if I haven't written my post correctly to communicate my desire.
I currently use the Finder to sort my files by "date modified", but I want to use the Finder to sort by "date last saved", but it doesn't have that option. Many times I open a file just to explore what's in it, then I close it without changing anything or saving it - but when I do the Finder thinks I have "modified" it, and it puts that file at the top of the list. I didn't modify it, but Finder treats it like I did. -
I had a TON of browsing history in those tabs and there is NO WAY I could recreate it all manually. Is there any possibility that FF could get them back even though the "Restore Previous Session" menu option is greyed out? BTW, I've had more hangs and crashes with 8.0.1 than with any previous version of Firefox.
Did that inadvertently (can someone at Mozilla tell me if the download procedure has changed? I only wanted to download the new version, not install it right away, but it got installed with no input from me. I DO NOT APPRECIATE THAT. Starting to lose my love of firefox.)
Everything is just GONE. Thanks, firefox team, for nothing. -
Why does my screen blank when I turn on my mac book?
Today,everytime I try to turn on my MacBook the screen is blanc with a big flashing question mark(?) I would like to know why.omg!
Welcome to the Support Communities. See this Apple doc:
OS X Mavericks: If a flashing question mark appears
...Found by searching here:

Also, it's a good idea to indicate what version of OS X you're running — see this ASC tutorial:

I am using wave form Chart on a tab control. The problem is that the chart works fine when it is showing. I can stop the data and reset the chart history successfully. The Fun begins when I go to say Page 2 of Tab control ( The wave form Chart is on Page 1). If I now try to initilize my chart with offset, multiplier, min and max rage values - The chart assumes values on the X scale which are arbitrary. I can see this when I go back to Page 1.!!
But If Page 1 were showing and I did the same Operation The chart behaves as I expect it too.
Can this behaviour be explained? How do I resolve this Problem? Also I have Observed that from time to time the Sca
ling on X Axis may also change when the Chart is Hidden by the tab control. I have not been able to identify the reason for this, It is totally random.
Good Luck!

Time_Tab.vi 50 KBI did a similar workaround ...
Everytime I Toggle the Run Button, I am making sure the active Tab is the one with Waveform Chart. This way the waveform Initializes fine. Then I try to Switch the active tab back to its One Previous Value, programatically - So that the user may have somewhat seamless interaction.
There is one hitch however - The waveform Chart needs some time to initialize and my data stream is also coming at every second. So if I switch Immediately to some other tab, Sometimes I am successful, Sometimes I am not. Again this depends om System Speed and such. If I update the Tab Control at the next iteration, it is very irritating visually. So I left the Tab control at the waveform chart after reset. If the User wants they can switch it Bac
k.
Of Course the best thing to do is don't Reset. Referred the problem to NI Apps. They said it will be fixed in the next version.
Well! Got to make enough money without resetting so that we can buy the new Version, which will reset!! Ciao! And Thanks for your answer.

Mache
Good Luck!

Why does it bring me back to the top page when I click on the open pages?
When I have Pages open and I am typing on it, If I go onto another program when I click onto Pages it brings me to the top page when I was at a lower part.
Probably depends where you click when you go back to PAges.
