Why does the cursor skip a line every time I start a new contact?

I just got my first iPhone, and I love many things about it, but I'm pretty frustrated about other things. One frustrating thing is that if I go to save a number as a contact, it brings up the new contact page, and EVERY time I click on the first name line, it goes there and immediately jumps to line 2. Same if I click on line 3, it skips to line 4. Or I'll type a letter or two and it skips one or several lines. Anybody else have this issue? Anybody know any fixes? Please help. This will make me lose my cool if I can't get this glitch fixed.

Hi drewskiiiiiiiii,
If you are having issues with your iPhone's Contacts application acting oddly, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
First, quit all running applications and test again -
Force an app to close in iOS
Next, I would try restarting and if needed resetting the iPhone -
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -
How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

You need to check the software you run.
Some officially supported and sold Mac versions of software use Wine for porting in some fashion or another. If some program you are running is spawning these Wine processes, its probably buggy and not shutting down correctly.
How to figure out which are Wine and which are not...?
Well if its a Cider ported game, you just see if there is a Cider logo on the game.
If its Wineskin ported, theres no super easy way to tell, depending on how much its been modified, but you can look inside the app (right click and "Show Package Contents") and go to Contents/MacOS and see if Wineskin executable is in there. Unless its a very old version of Wineskin it shouldn't be able to hang like that without major issues int he Windows software running in it, and I don't know any any company would release it if it was that buggy.
If its WineBottler Ported, you'll notice quickly because it launches X11 and runs the windows under X11... of course not all X11 apps are Wine, but if you have a program that launches and runs in X11.app then you can look inside it at Contents/MacOS to see if its Wine related.
It could also be Crossover, or a Crossover port of software... you'd have to dig around inside of its app too to see if it looked like one of those.

Why does firefox keep asking for permission every time it starts, it never has before?

I'm using Windows 7 and recently used CCleaner to clean my registry and now Firefox asks for permission to make changes to my computer every time it starts. I have checked for viruses and malware, tried running Firefox as the administrator, removed all but one of my add-ons but nothing helps. Any suggestions?

Check that you do not run Firefox as Administrator. 
Right-click the Firefox desktop shortcut and choose "Properties". 
In the Compatibility tab, make sure that Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" is not selected. 
You also need to check the Properties of the firefox.exe program in the Firefox program directory. 
If you can't make the changes then you need to start Windows Explorer as Administrator.

Why does the spinning wheel come up every time I open an application

Every time I open an application, I get the "spinning wheel" for an extended period of time. This is a VERY FAST computer and this slows me down terribly.
For instance: I just opened iTunes to sync my iPhone. When I opened the software I got the wheel, when I tried to select my iPhone, and yet again when I tried to hit the "sync" button. This is more than is typical, but it happens EVERY TIME I open EVERY application.

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 do the sound balance settings change every time i start up my MacBook Pro OSX 10.8.4. I set balance to middle and it reappears way off to the left or right and the volume is at maximum.

I set the balance and sound levels on my MacBook Pro 10.8.4 but when I start up again the balance has shifted to one channel or the other [left or right] and the volume has become maximum. Does not always happen but frequently does. Any ideas?

It should remain the way you have adjusted them. Delete the System Preferences.plist per these instructions:

Why does the cursor disappear completely?

The cursor disappears completely from the screen sometimes (I have a microsoft wireless mouse), and it does no good to use the pad either. Sometimes if I close the Mac, go away and come back, the cursor has returned. Other times I have to turn off the mac. Advice?

Because the bottom of the computer is blocking the display.

Why does the keyboard come up a second time on the ipad

Why does the keyboard come up a second time on the ipad

Try these basic things and see if the keyboard goes away for good.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Quit the Kindle App and restart. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by e tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus (-) sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

I have a MacBook Pro, it has came up saying I need to free up space on the disk as it full every time it starts up, so I log in and no icons or applications show up on the screen just my background wallpaper, the only thing I can do is the force quit keyboard shortcut but there is nothing to quit, I have tried to start up in safe mode but again there is no icons in the desktop,

Since july 2 I have Acrobat Pro (the paid version). But every time I start the program I get the screen with: this is a trial version. You have X days left, etc. I find that quite annoying.

This is not just annoying, it is wrong, because at the end of the trial it will stop completely. You must resolve it before then.
So, did you do anything to license the trial version? It needs to be told that you have purchased, or it will stop working at the end of the trial.
