Why does rightclick+t on a link open the link in a new tab, yet rightclick+t on a bookmark on the toolbar grays it out?

This happens to be more of an issue using a trackpad. Then you rightclick on a link and then hit "t" it opens the link in a new tab. when you do the same command on on a bookmark on your bookmark toolbar, it grays the bookmark out. none of the settings have been changed on it. the way to fix it, i discovered is to right click on the bookmark and hit "p" no idea why, but this solved it. I can't find any of these command online, partly i don't know how to correctly search the rightclick command, but partly, it would only probably list the commands that actually show up as stuff to click with your mouse.
I would also like to know why for two different locations that both open a link in a new tab, why the mapped shortcuts are different. for a link, it is rightclick+t, for a bookmark it is rightclick+w. I mean, make it the same commands, it makes much more sense that way.

Because the "T" in "Open Link in New Tab" is underscored in the link context menu (right-click menu)
You are on Windows 7 and by default Microsoft hid that useful information by default in all of their menus.
See item #9 on my page [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/windows-7/win7.htm Windows 7 Home Premium]
Restore missing underscored letters in menus (turned off by default in Windows 7)
 Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Ease of Access Center (WinKey+U) → Make the keyboard easier to use
   [x] Turn on Toggle keys
   [x] Underline keyboard shortcuts and access keys
   [  ] Prevent windows from being automatically arranged when moved to the edge of the screen.
Toggle keys appears both under mouse and under keyboard in Ease of use / Accessibility options.
 Though I would like to activate the last option, preventing windows from being automatically arranged
would also deactivate my favorite Windows 7 added WinKey+<arrowkey> keyboard shortcuts to resize window to left/normal/right side, or to maximize/norm/minimize window.  On a dual/extended monitors this would be left/norm/right on each monitor so left/right arrow actually have six positions passing between monitors.
 Please mark "Solved" one answer that will best help others with a similar problem -- hope this was it.
Have also included in [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/rightff.htm Right-Click Menus and Toolbars in Firefox] which you may find interesting as well.

HT201398 Why does iBooks continue to crash upon opening the app?

iBooks will not open. I can not delete the app because it was already downloaded on my iPad. When I try to open the app, a white screen pulls up; it ends up crashing, thus returning to the home screen. I have tried to clear the history and reset the iPad, but iBooks continues to fail to open. My software is thus far up to date (iOS 8.1.1). My textbooks are on there, so I would appreciate any suggestions as to how to get the app to open and work.

I sent a detailed note to Apple, and have been contacted by one of their tech people. He gathered some data and escalated it to their engineers.
Separately, the iWork team saw these posts and reached out to me, asking for copies of my crash logs for the iPad. It was't easy, but their instructions showed me how to make copies of them, and I sent them to Apple.
Hopefully, this will help. They obviously do recognize that there is an iBooks problem.

Why does iMovie freeze almost immediately after opening the program?

Hi there!
iMovie '09 was running fine a few days ago until who knows what happened. Suddenly, each time I open iMovie I immediately cannot open anything when I click on things - ex. Project Library/the scroll icon/etc. The project I'm working on is still in iMovie, and I can see it play in the preview screen on the right hand side. The problem is, I can't see any of the clips I have on the left. They seem to be invisible, but when I pan over the editing area (left hand side) I can see the clips playing in the preview screen. I literally have no idea what happened. I can't edit anything and I can't seem to fix the problem. I can't access anything - can't edit, can't scroll to find the video I want.
So far I have done these things to try and fix the problem:
+Deleted the iMovie and iPhoto preference files: Library > Preferences > com.apple.imovie.plist
+Reboot my computer and reloaded iPhoto and iMovie
+Gone into Disk Utility and ran the Repair Disk Permissions
+Done force quit so many times
+Tried running iMovie without any others apps open
I'm hoping someone out there has a few tricks up their sleeve to help with this problem. Additionally, I've seemed to have run into the problem of not being able to play any of the cutaways I have in the video except for the FIRST one. When the video plays and pans over the next cutaway, the video freezes until the cutaway ends and proceeds to play the rest of the video.
So, anyone out there know how to help a gal out??
Thanks!

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

Why does Firefox always block any link I try to open going to a web page when I don't have pop up blocker on?

Why does Firefox always block any link I try to open going to a web page when I don't have pop up blocker on? First off they are not even pop ups....your crap blocks everything and don't save user names &/or passwords when you have it checked. Also in your tutorials about solving this issue says it has the word "OPTION" .......no, it never says option to allow you to bypass it and etc. Only thing is says is "ALLOW" . That would be nice , but the problem is it will not allow it from then on. It only allows it right then and then you have to refresh...after that to open again it blocks it again.....HOW STUPID?!!!!!
It always say that this is preventing this page from automatically redirecting to another page. THIS IS WHAT I AM TRYING TO DO...GO TO ANOTHER PAGE........I DON'T NEED YOUr BROWSERS PERMISSION TO DO THAT. THAT IS WHAT A *%#$&*(&*%$$%% BROWSER IS FOR TO GO TO OTHER PAGES......THEY ARE NOT POP UPS!!!!!
YOU STUPID BROWSER ACTUALLY BLOCKS EVERYTHING AND THAT SUX!!!
HELP!!

Why does ctrl+Left click a link open a new window? It should open a new tab in the current window.

When I try to Ctrl+Left click to open a link in a new tab, it will open it in a new window instead. Then while in the new window if I Ctrl+Left click a link it will open a new tab in the second window. If I then go back to the first Firefox window and Ctrl+Left click a link the second firefox window will pop up and the new tab will be created there. Why won't the Ctrl+Left click work when only one window is open?

Why does Illustrator CS5.5 crash when opening 1.5GB sized vector layered files on my iMac OS X?

Why does Illustrator CS5.5 crash when opening 1.5GB sized vector layered files on my iMac OS X?

1.5GB for a vector file is very large. If you can ever open this file would recomend file >> save as >> turn off PDF compatibility.
Can you please tell us why your file is so large, you may have a problem such as deleted global swatches, or an exceptionally large number of items in your symbols, styles, brushes palette. For even the most complex illustration filling the entire 227.54" artboard, you should be under 20mb if you have no embedded or linked images.

Why does Notes close every time I open it?   I can't access my notes...

Why does Notes close every time I open it?   I can't access my notes;
there don't appear to be any.    Help!
When I check in Settings, Notes has disappeared from the list of Apps
On my iPhone, yet I didn't delete it.    I had dozens of notes, lots
of necessary information stored therein.
Thanks for any help....

I was having this issue also. I found this thread and disabling Exchange Notes did the trick. Obviously, this is the solution only if you were using Exchange to begin with.
If you want to continue to use Exchange notes or perhaps try this to see if it works in general, I found a fix on this site. All works well now.
1. Delete your exchange account from the Mail, Contacts & Calendars pane in System Preferences.
2. Go to Finder, click "Go" in the menu bar, click "Go to Folder" and type in "~/Library" (without the quotes) in the box. This will take you to your user Library folder.
3. Use the search box in the finder and type in "com.apple.notes" and click "Library" in the search bar that appears. This should now find several folders and files related to the Notes app. Rename or delete everything except the help files (with the lifesaver icons on them).
4. Restart your Mac. Put your exchange account back into System Preferences, you can go ahead and activate the Notes sync service.
5. Open Notes and it should be working now!

Why does firefox zoom in when I open a new tab? How can I disable this?

Every time I right click on a link and select "Open link in a new tab" firefox zooms in. This happens also when I hold ctrl and click on a link. I know I can just zoom back out using ctrl - but this gets really annoying sometimes. How can I disable this?

Safari 7.0 does not open a new tab or a link in a new tab

Hello,
since I updated to Mavericks, I'm not able to open a new tab (cmd + t) or open a link in a new tab (cmd + click) in safari. A soon as I try to open a new tab, safari "freezes" an I have to use the "back" button a few times to make it work again.
Is there a solution in the settings, or di I have to to delete and reinstall the app?
Thanks for your help!

Hey Linc Davis,
I just did that yesterday (in my case it was 'glims') and after deleting glims, Safari now is working perfect again.
Thanks a lot for your help!

Forcing Safari to open new links in a new tab

Without sounding cynical, I love Safari but have been using Chrome for several years because it behaves like "I" want...not like "Apple" wants. I keep hoping Apple will fix the remaining two quirks (for me anyway) that keep me from using it full time. One of them I can live without...the other I can't, but perhaps there's a way around it that someone here might know about.
1. I want EVERY link on which I click to always open in a new tab (or at least in a new window if it's coded to do that). Safari insists on opening almost every link in the same window I'm already in, forcing me to page back to get to where I started. I have the Tab Preferences set to "Open pages in tabs instead of windows AUTOMATICALLY" which is supposed to use the tabs, except where the link is coded to open a child window. BUT...this simply does not happen. I could change this preference to ALWAYS instead of AUTOMATICALLY but then I lose the child windows when they're supposed to open. Chrome does this perfectly...why can't Safari?
2. The only other thing is not fixable yet, but perhaps someday Apple will realize it (I've submitted it as a Safari suggestion already). When I open a page in Safari, why must I have to move my cursor to the address window? It's so amazing how Chrome as always opened with the cursor already positioned in the address window already...where else would you want it if you're going to open the browser and type something?
Anyway, it's the first item that really irks me, but perhaps it's just something I'm doing wrong. Thanks for any help.

Start by opening a Terminal window (Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal). Enter the following command:
defaults write com.apple.Safari TargetedClicksCreateTabs -bool true
Restart Safari.
If you decide you want to change back, just re-enter the command but replace true at the end of the command with false.

Want to open links in a new tab not a new window.

When using a mouse I know I can middle click (wheel) and the web-link I am clicking will open in a new tab. I also know I can drag that link to the + sign on the tab bar and it will open. But while using the Keyboard only, when I want to open a webpage link in a new tab, it always opens in a new window, why?
I noticed while searching in Mozilla Support that hitting any box opens in a new tab ( this is the effect I want) why does this not happen on other webpages?
I may be answering my own question here but could it be the one 'NewsNow' website that is causing my problem?

The setting in Tools > Options > Tabs: "New pages should be opened in": "a new tab/window" is for links that specify a target window for opening a link.
The browser.link.open_newwindow pref only affects links that specify a target window.
You can use the browser.link.open_newwindow pref to divert links that specify a target to the current tab or a new tab.
The browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction pref allows to divert (onclick) JavaScript window.open() links.
Links that do not specify a target always open in the current tab unless you override that with a middle-click or Ctrl (Mac: Cmd) left-click (new tab) or Shift left-click (new window).
There are also extensions that have options how a link is opened, so you can check out the Add-ons website.
