Why does the latest version of ITunes change all of my web based icons to ITunes programs and all of my desktop icons to the ITunes icons?

when downloading itunes why all my web based programs change to itunes programs and all of the desktop icons change to itune icons?

That's because iTunes is registering itself as the default application to open those kinds of files. I believe you can stop that behavior when you install it. To revert a file type's default handler you need to select it and select "Get Info" from the File menu and change the settings under "Open with:" to your desired application.

  • Why does my latest version of Firefox under Windows 8.1 always report problems with security certifactes - even on mozilla,com - when my latets version on Ubunt

    On my desktop, I have been using Firefox V27 on Ubuntu 12.04 for some time. It uses secure sites - such as https://mozilla.org - and accepts the Security Certificates quite happily, so I am not even aware there is any issue.
    My new laptop is Windows 8,1, and I have installed Firefox- the latest version.
    Whenever Firefox visits a secure site, it ALWAYS says that there is a problem with the security certificate - even at mozilla.org - and warns me away. I have to complete a security exemption.
    Why is this, and how can I fix it?
    Thanks in anticipation.

    unfortunately the fiddler2 issuer in certificates might be a sign of unwanted software present on your pc that is intercepting secure network traffic. please go into the system control panel and uninstall programs like BrowserSafeguard, BrowserSafe, SafeGuard or other software that sounds suspicious and didn't get installed by you intentionally.
    <br><sub>reference: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/982532#answer-520145</sub>
    afterwards, run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].

  • HT204389 Why does talk text only work sometimes?????  At times it works fine and then it will either show me the blue circles forever or just stop without converting anything I said.

    Why does talking to Siri only work periodically????  Sometimes it does fine and other times it just keeps running and nothing happens!     When I am tring to talk to text in messeges it does the same thing.  Sometimes fine,  other times the blue circles forever and then...nothing !  Does this happen to others???  Does anyone have a solution to this???

    The trascription doesn't take place on your phone. The audio file is processed a little on the phone and then sent to Apple's servers for the bulk of the work, and the resulting text is sent back to your phone.
    Sometimes there might be problems connecting to the internet to send the file. Sometimes there might be problems with Apple's servers in a specific region. In my case if I go outside my house a bit my phone will still be trying to connect to the wifi (there is just a little bit of a signal). There isn't enough wifi to handle sending the audio files to Apple, but enough that the phone keeps trying to use it.
    Things that sometimes help. Turn off wifi if it is weak. Put your phone into airplane mode for a few seconds and then turn the radio back on.
    If the problem is at Apple's end. Just wait a while.

  • TS1538 I tried to update the latest version on my iPhone to no avail. Now my iPhone needs restoration and will delete all pictures taken today (which I can't afford to lose!) is the sync when you first install the iPhone how it 'backs up' info and how do

    HELP! How do I find the back up folder? When I restore my phone, how can I access the folder to put all data back onto phone to retrieve photos etc? I was trying to update software when it crashed... now im shattred. How do you back up software? Is it automatic when syncing phones in itunes?

    Let me get this straight.  You have pictures on your phone that you can't afford to lose.  They aren't backed up.  Then, before you back them up by importing them to your computer for safe keeping, you decide to update the software?
    On what planet would this be a sane thing to do?
    No offense, but NEVER update any software, be it on your computer, phone or whatever, unless you're darned sure ALL your data is safely backed up.
    If you have no backup of the the pictures you "can't afford to lose", then unfortunately, I think you just lost them.

  • Since I installed the latest version of Firefox, my Google search system has forgotten about my past entries and is not adding on each search topic etc as I search. Is this a GOOGLE or a Firefox issue?

    Example. I searched for NYT.COM. In past the system remembers and when I start typing ny it immediately fills in nyt.com and other options related to nyt.

  • I have the latest version. Ever since I installed it, it keeps crashing for no aparent reason, even when I'm not using the computer.

    Often, when I return to the computer after a break, Firefox has gone. Other times, it fails when I'm loading something else, e.g. Skype, but not every time. This has only happened since I upgraded.

  • How do I download the latest version of iPhoto

    How do I download the latest version of iPhoto

    iPhoto is only included if you are buying a new Mac and then it is only available at the app store - you must "accept" it (associate it with your Apple ID) and then download it. It is not part of the OS - it is an "add-on". Only updates to a previously purchased/registered copy will be offered automatically. Depending on the age/model of the Mac and when/how you acquired iPhoto originally, you will most likely have to pay for the new MAS version - there was a short period last year where Apple allowed anyone who installed Mavericks to upgrade to the latest versions of iLife free of charge, but that is no longer in effect.
    In this case, there isn't enough information to give a definitive answer.

  • Why does Chrome insist Adobe Flash Player is out of date, but I have the latest version?

    I run Mac OSx 10.5.8. I am trying to use Chrome, but the Flash is not working on either Safari or Chrome. Chrome insists Adobe Flash is out of date
    , but I have the latest version available to my OS.
    I have tried uninstalling, disabling plugins, reinstalling and enabling.
    I have tried updating via Adobe website over 10 times.
    I have tried switches which just run the outdated plugins...
    I have tried renaming the system plugin in the Library and pasting in Chrome package contents
    I don't have two flash plugins in the chrome:plugins
         This is the error message in the chrome:plugins
    Flash - Version: 10.3.183.23 Download Critical Security Update
    The link goes to the Adobe website to install version 10.3.183.23, which I already have.
    Please help?

    Yes, it is indeed! Sorry I missed you're on OS X 10.5.8.
    I reinstalled Chrome...
    Can you confirm it is version 21.0.1180.79? It's important you confirm you're at the latest version of Google Chrome too.
    ... and I have the same issue of the Flash player not automatically updating.
    I would repeat myself... "available updates for Adobe Flash Player are automatically included in Chrome system updates".
    Chrome automatically updates when new versions of Flash Player are available. The integrated Google Chrome Flash plug-in cannot be uninstalled using the Flash Player uninstaller. You can only enable or disable the integrated plug-in.
    Therefore, as it's showing you're at the latest version 10.3.183.23, it would appear it is an issue 'internal' to Chrome's system updates; reason why I had referred you to their support, or alternativelly, post to their forums.
    However, you can try Adobe's Help page (for Mac) here >
    http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-mac.html
    And alternativelly (Flash Player with Google Chrome) here >

    Regret couldn't do better for you but please confirm by return how it goes.
    Good Luck!

  • I just upgraded to the latest version of iTunes and can no longer sync

    Worked fine before upgraded of iTunesto the latest version now cannot sync iPod touch. error message is that will be wiped and replaced by library which is too big for the device so I have to wipe it and reinstall  manually which takes at least four hours. Cannot backup as not able to in iTunes and do not haveiCloud. Use win7

    Again:
    You said: " Cannot backup as not able to in iTunes" What happens when you try to backup?
    What are you doing when you get this message: "I have followed the solution but am not given the choice to select the device."?
    What do you mean by: "The dates and times on both match."?
    You are not telling use what you are doing and what happens when you do it.
