Why does the English keep defaulting back to US and not British

Why does the English keep defaulting back to US and not British.
This is clear enough it does what it says in English British English

Where do you get this problem?
Is this with the spell checking dictionary or with the language setting?

Why does the update icon always on my desktop photoshop elements 10 icon

why does the update icon always stay on the photoshop 10 icon on my desktop?

We don't know because update function is hidden so deep in the Menu bar's help item that many people don't even know about it. Now you are telling us that an icon is on your desktop so this is completely unusual.
Are you sure it is not the icon for the PSE10 to make it easy for you to launch it? Can you post a screenshot of what is on your desktop.
We look forward to hearing from you soon.

Why does the update change my home page and make Google so prevelant?

Several of the last "updates" involved the changing of my bookmarks and home page,. The so called update required me to spend more time in refreshing the browser to its previous condition. This is frustrating to say the least. Second why does the updated version of of firefox seem to favor google?

Normally, an update does not change your home page...
What did you home page change to? That might help identify the source of the problem.
I assume you have tried changing your home page back to your preferred site, either in the Options dialog or using one of the other methods:
* [[Startup, home page and download settings]]
* [[How to set the home page]]
Did that work at all? By "at all" I mean:
* Immediately after making the change, if you click the Home button, or launch a new window using Ctrl+n, does your preferred page load? Or is that ignored?
* Does the setting revert later in your session (you see in Options it has changed)?
* Does the setting revert after you exit and start Firefox up again?
* Is the problem only when you use your Firefox desktop shortcut?
With that information, it will be easier to recommend a solution.
I'm not sure I understand your second question. Google has always been the default search provider in Firefox. Are you seeing even more Google than that?

HT1560 If diagnostics says appletv is working properly, why does the install keep getting stuck on pairing with the computer then back to select resolution over and over.

First gen Appletv suddenly stopped working from one night to the next. This has happened in the past once and the usual restore, reboot, etc, tinkering finally snapped it back into working quite unexpectadly. The symptom is, after restore when it gets to the screen to pair with itunes by entering the numbers in itunes, the number is briefly up on the tv screen and then quickly is gone returning to the select resolution page. This happens over and over with each try while the Appletv never shows up in itunes and the number box never appears either to pair the computer with the Appletv. It does the same thing with my intel macbook so I don't think it's the Imac. I have dumped itunes 10 and reloaded itunes 9 with no change in the problem. My IP scanner picks up that the Appletv is on our network as soon as it turns on. I have used wireless, which it finds and logs into, and ethernet which also has it finding my network. I can't test whether it is actually on the network by trying to play a trailer or something because it will not go past that pairing screen in the initial setup. Are the built in diagnostics reliable when they say your appletv is working correctly. The hard drive isn't making any exceptionally loud noise as it spins up. I am stuck with this unit because I use it with a G4 Imac running Tiger 10.4 for a video/audio jukebox at the bar. New ATV won't work with the Imac unless it's running leopard I believe. The thing runs like molasses already so attempting leopard which I don't have anyway would really make it crawl. I love a good mystery/problem but this thing is driving me crazy. If I just could know for sure what component inside was shot I would replace it. Could a hard drive boot up to a degree and then get stuck at one part of the install, or would it have to be the logic board, or something else. Bad juju in the house or something

Had same problem this finally stopped it for me.

Why does the update list not clear after the app update with the new 7 system?

Can I clear the update list, it is getting full, from all the updates. It say open only when I do it is still there. Help please.

Easiest way to clear list is; go to settings>general>date and time and set date manually to a point at least one month in the future (I set mine to two months ahead) and then open App Store and check for updates. The list should now be clear. This is just an update history list. When finished just turn on auto date/time or set it back manually if you like and list should still be clear. If you do nothing the updated apps should start to drop off the list in about two to three weeks.

Why does the sound keep going out?

The sound keeps going out for everything: iTunes, any website which has audio, even the volume buttons on my keyboard. I notice that when I restart my computer it will work temporarily, maybe 10-15 minutes and then will go out again. This just started happening and I'm not sure what is going on. Please help!

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Why does the wifi keep disconnecting on the Macbook Air (Bought September 2013) ?

Is this only my MacBook Air, or is it with everyones. The wifi keeps getting disconnected and i would have to switch off and then switch on the wifi in order to reconnect.

Hi Ettedos,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you're seeing unexpected behavior on your MacBook Air.
I'd recommend starting with the Wireless Diagnostic built into Mavericks:
OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.4 or later
Use the Wireless Diagnostics application included with OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.4 and later to identify and resolve Wi-Fi issues. For further information, please see About Wireless Diagnostics.

Why does the wheel keep spinning at the top of my screen on my iphone 5

Basically,
I noted the past 2-3 days that my battery is dying really quick. It dies after being charged all night within 25 minutes. I also noticed that the wheel keeps spinning at the top of my screen between the time and wifi symbol. Is there a connection?

I think that it is turning the WiFi switch on in Settings (from "not connected" ) that starts the wheel.
In normal circumstances the wheel stops when you have selected and connected to a network of your choice.

Why does the dock keep moving to my secondary monitor?

I work with a dual monitor set-up. The screen on my 15" powerbook functions as a palette monitor to my larger display. Everything is set up in the system preferences for the dock to be on the larger display. But since I upgraded to Maverick a few days ago, the dock sometimes moves to my palette monitor. I "think" it happens when I've got a few windows open and I'm writing an email to a client and have to pull up information from various files. So I'm moving around on both displays at that point. I also have the radio streaming from the palette monitor.
The first time this happened, I just went into System Preferences and re-selected the main monitor under the display icon and the dock moved back over.
But, then today it moved to my secondary display again and I tried going into SysPref again and doing the same thing, but the dock just stayed on the smaller screen. I gave up and did a restart which reset the dock back to the main monitor.
Clearly this is disruptive to my workflow. How can I lock my dock into place on my main monitor.
Thanks in advance. Sandra

Hey Sandra MacPherson!
Here’s an article for you that may enlighten you about the functionality of the Dock in Mavericks:
OS X: Using multiple displays in Mavericks
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5891
Working with the Dock
When the Dock is configured to appear at the bottom of your screen, it's available on whichever screen you’re working on. Just move your pointer to the bottom of either display. When the Dock is configured for the left or right position, it appears on the leftmost or rightmost display edge.
Tip: If you don't see your dock because it's set to hidden or there's a full screen app on the display, move your pointer to the location of the Dock. If the Dock still doesn't appear, swipe your pointer towards the Dock again to unhide it.
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

Why Does The Updater Wreck My Win 7/64?

I have Acrobat 9.3 on a Windows 7/64 bit machine.
Every time the updater runs, in finishes successfully and tells me I have to restart.
OK, I restart.
Then Windows says "We were unable to start windows" and after 30 minutes of looking for the problem, it allows me to restore to a previous restore point.
That usually works.
This is the third time in two different Win 7/64 installations that the Acrobat Updater made my Windows unbootable.
For now, I've turned all updates off.
Any ideas? Is this a known issue?
Is there some kind of weird conflict (I also have Adobe CS 5 Web Suite installed)?
Thanks for any help.
Alan.

I've disabled automatic updates as well, and instead do manual updates: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows

Hello Brucybrucy,
If you are having issues with the Kindle app after the update, check out the article below to go through some general troubleshooting to get it to work. The first thing to try is to close out of the app entirely with one of the other steps to delete the app and download it again.
