Why does the aol desktop crash every time I try to use it

Why does the aol desktop crash every time I try to use it and how can I fix the problem.

I am having exactly the same problem with my iPhone 4 (running 6.0.1 (10A523)). I have rebooted several times since this started occurring but it doesn't change the behavior. It was also reporting a "storage almost full" error quite often when I still have 1GB - 3GB of free space. As a troubleshooting exercise I removed all my music so there is now 20.1GB free. The storage warning no longer appears but the same issue still persists with reminders. Help, please!

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be copied and renamed asiTunes Library.itl to restore the library to an earlier state. Look for a recent .tmp file that is similar in size to the .itl files in the Previous iTunes Libraries folder. If it has happened repeatedly you may want the earliest such file generated since the last iTunes upgrade.
If applicable, see iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. Even if you have the media you can use selected steps from the tip to ensure that you don't lose settings and data from the device as a result of switching libraries.
A large number of users with this issue have been using AVG Anti-Virus which appears to be implicated in the problem. AVG have released a patch which might help, so if you use AVG then I would update that first. I'd also be interested to know which AV you use in case others may cause similar issues. I recommend excluding the iTunes folder from any real-time and scheduled AV scanning process. Another possible cause could be automatic backup tools.

Why does firefox corrupt my bookmarks every time I load it on a different computer?

I found that a number of people have asked how to recover their bookmarks, but my question is why do I have to do it every day? I work on three different computers, and I love Firefox and have it as my default browser on each one. However, I had to turn on syncing bookmarks because every time I logged onto a different computer than the last one I used, sync screwed up my bookmarks, mostly by duplicating folders, but sometimes by emptying them. Now, the entire file doesn't (usually) get corrupted, although today it did, but opening Firefox on a different computer always adds a couple of folders that weren't there before.
Now, I back up my bookmarks manually every day on each computer using the "backup" option with "show all bookmarks" and also with FEBE, which is terrific. (FEBE has helped me recover multiple crashed Firefox installations -- but frequent crashed Firefox installations is another problem). So, I don't need to know how to save/preserve my bookmarks.
I'm just wondering why Mozilla doesn't fix this persistent problem?

Sync unfortunately is known to sometimes corrupt or duplicate bookmarks. I had hoped it may have been fixed with the New Sync but apparently not.

Why does this spam site load every time I open a new tab?

Every time I open a new tab in Firefox, it loads this specific search engine. This has never been my Home Page, and my preferences are set to show a blank page when I open a new window or tab.
Why is this happening? What can I do to fix this?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] 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.

Why does CC need my login every time I launch a CC program?

On my Windows 7 64 bit system with some CS6 and CC programs and running from an administrator account with UAC set at "never notify" I'm being asked for my login just about every time I launch any CC program.
This is has been slowly getting. This is not following any system change, new CC install or any other system change or crash I'm aware of.
I know others have had this problem but if there is a definitive fix available I can't find it.
Is there a fix?
I'll leave the obligatory complaints about how annoying this is out but be assured, they're there!
Thanks,
Tom

Why does the App Store crash every time I search for something on my iPod?

Every time I open the App Store on my iPod touch and search for something, it crashes. I tried resetting my iPod, but the App Store still crashes. I used to love my iPod and was very happy to have supported Apple, but it just makes me angry more than anything now. Also, in the Tree World app, my hippo was deleted. I was moving my critters around on their branches when all of a sudden my hippo was carried off the screen never to be seen again. I can't buy it from the market. I am VERY upset over this.

I have the same bug cuz of the new App Store application ,,, almost the next update they ll fix it ,,
But really it isn't a big problem ,,, after AppStore crash open it again ,,, & install what u want ,,,
That's all

Why does my safari stops working every time I try to swipe back to previous page

My safari stops working every time I try to swipe (multitouch) back to previous page? There's no spinning beach ball or anything, but the page just stops responding altogether. If I close the non-responding page fast enough the other pages remain fine, but if I just leave the non-reponding page as it is the entire app become non-reponsive and need to be forced quite. I'm running OS X 10.9.1 on a late 2012 MacBook Pro Ret. Anyone having the same prob?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

Why does firefox change my homepage every time I open it?

I want hotsheet.com to be my permanent default every time I open firefox.

Hello howsue, in your system details it seems that you have in your [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox#Windows profile folder] a [http://kb.mozillazine.org/User.js_file User.js] file. The user.js file does not exist by default. If you create the file, forget it, if you have not create the file then try to delete the User.js file, to see if the problem goes away (some programs create the file also).
thank you

Why does my IOS8 iPad buzz every time I touch the screen?

OK, I've had my iPad4 for about 9 months. Now, since downloading IOS8, every time I touch the screen or the home button, it buzzes, irritatingly. Maybe it's nothing to do with IOS8, but I've been into settings/sounds and settings/notifications, but nothing I alter gets rid of this bug. Any help will be most appreciated.

Sorry folks! I just performed the simple switch off/on and all seems to be fine now.
Sorry to waste your time, if I have.

Why does Photoshop Elements 11 uninstall every time after my computer has been shut down/restarted?

Every time my computer is shut down and I go to use photoshop, I have to reinstall the program completely. The icon is still on my computer screen but it's not downloaded. Please help!!!

This has nothing to do with Adobe. You are running with insufficient user privileges and are not allowed to make permanent changes to the system. Make sure to install with admin priivileges and also tame system restore and otehr security functions.

Why does my iTunes stop working every time I plug my iPad in, but works for other apple devices

I have the lastest version of iTunes and the lastest version of the iOS sytem on my iPad 2. Every time I plug my iPad in and it comes up on iTunes, my iTunes stops responding and I have a never ending rainbow wheel. This is really frustrating and only happens when I plug my iPad in. It hasn't done that when I've plugged my iPhone, my brother's iPad, my iPod touch or my friend's iPod touch. Please help me! I just want to add a movie to my iPad.

It's happening to me too. The last time I synced was on Dec. 29th 2011 (right after I moved to Puerto Rico), so I figure my moving has nothing to do with it if it synced perfectly a week ago. But now when I try to sync it, after uninstalling itunes, restarting my computer, etc., it keeps freezing on me. I'm just hoping that syncing to iCloud is actually useful...
