Why does my text and emails shrink every time I slide my finger to the left on my HP laptop?

I can't figure out why this is happening or what I'm doing when it happens. I don't know if it is a quirk of my HP laptop touch pad, or of Firefox (latest version is installed) or that it is due to me using Windows 7. Can anyone please help me?

What version of Thunderbird are you using?

Why does my keyboard and mouse freeze every time I change audio drivers?

I recently switched audio drivers from my M-Audio Ozone to my TV, which I've done before. When I tried to switch back, my mouse and keyboard become frozen! I know my Mac Mini isn't frozen, because I have my clock display the seconds and its still going strong. Help!!!

Is this your Mac:
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/stats/imac_cd_1.83_17_ig.html
And, is this the RAM you got:
RAM Type:
PC2-5300 DDR2
Min. RAM Speed:
667 MHz
Even if it is the correct specs, it could still be a defective RAM module; also, iMacs are known to be extremely finicky about their RAM; i.e. OWC (macsales.com) and Crucial are generally recommended here - Kingston (especially their and an other Value brand line) are not. So, have you checked your RAM status? Go to Apple in menu, click on about this Mac, click on more info, click on Memory and see that the modules show "ok" and please post back with that.
Secondly, the keyboard issue could also be a USB port issue - I had that problem on a previous (white) iMac - I kept plugging in/unplugging. The problem here is that the USB ports are an integral part of the logic board which means a rather expensive repair/replacement. So, once we've eliminated the RAM as a culprit and considering the age of the Mac, you might want to make an appointment at your nearest Genius Bar for a free evaluation and diagnosis. You can then make a decision. In my case, I was covered by Applecare, so the logic board was replaced free of charge.

Hello Majorie,
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
Also, how much Free Space is on your Hard Drive?
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.

Why does it ask me to update every time??

I'm very disappointed that a product that used to work so well has gone south. I use a Dell computer, I use firewire for my iPod connection. But while iTunes used to come up automatically, it no longer recognizes my iPod. Also, every single time I plug in my iPod, it wants to update my iTunes or iPod software...and I mean every time! I update, but it makes no difference! The updates aren't even recognized the next time I dock the iPod or call up iTunes. What the heck is the matter with this thing?...this didn't happen until one of the previous updates.

Avinash, after I posted this morning, I restarted my computer, and immediately noticed a recent e-mail from Apple about iTunes 6.0, so I installed it. After I did that, I reset my iPod (I should mention I have the 15GB docking model). It seemed to be working as it should, as it recognized the iPod and allowed me to disconnect (manually) after updating (in the past, it never said it was ever ok to disconnect). Now, even though I thought it had a pretty good charge, I could not get it to turn on once off the docking station. I put it back on, so we'll see if it charges.
I have a neighbor who tells me he has to reset his similar model all the time (and he has an EE and does Computer Security for the Govt!!) Thanks for your reply and I wish you luck!
I have actually spent more time installing updates and trying to get them to work than I have listening to my iPod over the last two years.
Also, my hard disc crashed last fall, and I had to replace it, consequently, I lost my entire library when I went to update my iPod, and had to rebuild it piece by piece.
When I see how much trouble of a similar nature people in these discussions have, I have to wonder. I thought when they came out with iTunes for Windows (to sub for Musicmatch) things would go smoothly, but my friends with Mac computers say it will only ever work really well with a Mac computer.

Why does iTunes make me log in every time I open it since upgrading to v.12.0.1.26 and Yosemite?

Since upgrading to itunes v. 12.0.1.26 and Yosemite (same day), iTunes has been making me log in every single time I open it.
Not only that, but it makes me log in several times, for iCloud, for iTunes match, for whatever else we do on iTunes. It gives me like five different reasons to log in, and I have to type my password in five times.
Can anyone tell me what is going on here and how to fix it? Thanks!

Back up all data before proceeding.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select
          Change Settings for Keychain "login"
In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
From the menu bar, select
          Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
If the box marked
          Keep login keychain unlocked
is not checked, check it.
Select
          Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.

Why does Flash Player try to load every time I open a link

Every time I open a new link Flashplayer fails to load, I don't know why it's loading anyway. Maybe for the ads About.com puts on top that I don't want and can't get rid of. I get an error screen and have to close Flashplayer. So who cares except it's a pain in the neck. Why? I am legally blind and this is hard to read

Why does Mozilla send two e-mail every time I send an e-mail?

Every time I send an e-mail, I see two of the same e-mail in my sent box. Why?
Also why does Mozilla delete my e-mails off the main server automatically? I like to do it manually.

Is it really sending it twice or are you just seeing it two times in the sent folder? Some providers like gmail place a copy in your sent folder already so you need to go into Thunderbird settings and tell it not to do it again. Then you will only see if it once in the folder.

Why does it ask me to register every time the application is opened?

Why does the application manager ask me to license, or trial my software everytime that I open any of the applications? I thought it was only suppose to check every 30 days?

Hi Leetou02,
You're correct, it is only supposed to check every 30 days.
You might install the latest version of the Adobe Application Manager from here:
CS6 applications in Creative Cloud unexpectedly revert to trial mode | CS6, CCM
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/trial--1-launch.html
and ensure everything with your internet connecity and firewall software is set correct from here:

Why does my Indesign program appear pixelated every time I open it?

I have recently downloaded the Creative Suit 6 but every time I have tried to open Indesign it appears pixelated making it hard to use. Does anyone have an explination and/or solution to this problem?

Are you referring to the resolution of placed images? InDesign has different levels of preview quality that you can select to match the speed of your machine. The default level is "Typical," which is a low resolution image preview that draws quickly but looks horrid. Any reasonably modern machine should be able to handle the High Quality Display setting without choking on most files, and you can change it from the the View menu by choosing View > Display Performance > High Quality Display, but it's probably even better to open the application prefernces and change the default setting. You can choose to leave object level dispaly performance enabled which will allow you to set the preview individually for very large images that cause a delay while working.

Why does my husband get e-mails every time I add an event to our shared calendar

My husband and I share a calendar through the cloud. Every time I add an event to our shared calendar, in addition to the event showing up on his calendar on his ipad or iphone, he gets an e-mail saying I've added an event. How do I turn off the e-mail notices?

as far as i understand iCal it is on the "receivers/subscribers" side to deal with email-updates (and not on the "senders/changers" side):
snippet from my Re: How do you stop receiving notifications about updated calendar events? (there is a screenshot as well):
to NOT get email notification about updated events from a shared calendar you subscribed to you have to uncheck "events affect availability" in that calendars "info" (mac os X.7 and X.8: iCal —> calendars dropdown —> right click on the subscribed calendar —> choose "get info" from the context-menu —> uncheck "events affect availability")

Why does CC keep reinstaling Add-ons every time I start my system? e.g. Server Behavior

Reinstalls every time. As well as this irritation why is there no filter in the Add-ons site to differentiate between what's compatible with CC2014 and other add-ons built for earlier iterations of Creative Cloud. Surely there should be?

Why does my footage have to conform every time that I open my project?

Working on my senior thesis film, and I am using my university's Mac Lab. Whenever I open the project, Premiere has to conform all of my footage, which takes about an hour for the size of this project.
I thought it had something to do with the Media Cache Files and Media Cache Databases being stored locally on the computer you were working on. Does anyone know if that is the case for sure?
Does anyone know a solution for preventing my project from having to conform each time I open it?

The project does occassionally move from one machine to another. The project file and all of the video files are located on an external hard drive.
At our university, they wipe all of the user accounts at midnight on schedule. This means we can't store all 200GB+ of our footage on the local machine.
As I wrote in my other thread, I had come to the conclusion that Premiere was doing this because it generates all of the peak files and render files to the local machine. These files either get wiped by the school (because they're stored in
/Users/USERNAME/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/Media Cache Files
and
/Users/USERNAME/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/Media Cache
which are local, username-based directories) or they are written and changed (for example: I edit on computer A (where the project conforms all the footage), later, I go edit some on computer B (where it conforms all of the footage again probably because it's on a new computer), and then if I go back to computer A, it notices changes have been made to some of the generated files.)
Potential Solution(?):
I thought about trying to go to these directories and copying the folders and their contents to the external hard drive, and then copying and pasting them to the proper directory on a computer before I start editing, but that will require me to do a lot of copying and pasting.
My other idea was to try and change the location of where Premiere saves the Media Cache Files and Media Cache Database to their location on the hard drive (after I copy those folders from a machine once they've conformed), but I do not know how to change the default location for these fiels in Premiere before I open the project.
Thoughts??

Why does Lenovo Solution Center keep running every time I log back on?

Hi all,
Have a Thinkpad L430.
Every time I log back into my user account on the laptop, whether from fresh boot, sleep or hibernate, within a few minutes I get interrupted by the Windows 7 User Account Control asking me if I want to allow lsc.exe to run.
If I view details it says it is program location '"C:\Prgam Files\lenovo\lenovo solution center\lsc.exe" -updatestatus'.
I've no problem with the machine checking for updates but a) I'd rather it did it when the daily Windows Home Server backup is running (i.e when I'm still asleep and not actively using the computer) and b) I'd like to know if there's any way to allow this program to run as admin so it doesn't keep interrupting me
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You should be able to disable it in the LSC dashboard. I will download LSC and locate it for you.
*edit* Launch LSC>Dashboard View>Edit>Drag "Updates" or any unneeded item to the right "Events not monitored" section to disable.
