Why is Firefox intruding and sending updates when auto updates are turned off? This constant updating wreaks havoc with add-ons
Why is Firefox violating my computer?

I left "automatic updates" for Firefox UNCHECKED and left download when updates are found UNCHECKED. " Ask me wha I want to do" is CHECKED.
In English, that means don't automatically update and if updates are found ASK.
It does NOT mean ignore all the instructions and download!

  • Why is my texting using data? When I have data turned off I can't send/receive. Texting is "unlimited" but it's using up all my data- help!

    Why is my texting using data? When I have data turned off I can't send/receive. Texting is "unlimited" but it's using up all my data- help!

    Texting longer text messages or any media (pictures/video/sound etc) being sent requires data to be active. However, it does not count against your data caps.
    Since you have an iPhone, you must also be aware of the difference between iMessage and SMS Text messages. The iPhone, by default, will send an iMessage when sending another text message to anyone else with an iPhone, iTouch, or iPad. This does use your data if you are not connected to wifi. In Settings, you can turn iMessage off, and then all of your texts will go through Verizon.
    Also understand- iMessage will use wifi when connected to wifi, but would need cellular data connection to work when not connected to wifi. Regular SMS text messages that are long or any media will always use the cellular data and not wifi, so will not send if cellular data is turned off, even if on wifi. However, this does not count against your cap.

    I have Photoshop cs5, version 12.0.5 x32 installed on a Widows box.  I keep being offered an "Update" to 12.0.4 and am puzzled.  How can I turn off this offer or should this update be applied?  If it should be applied how to do it.  When I try it, the update fails.

  • Firefox will no longer open any website, not even a Mozilla support page. Resetting, even with add-ons disabled, has not helped.

    The question explains the whole thing. No web page will open at all, except for the blank Firefox page. Typing in an address, clicking on a site in the history, opening a new tab and working from it - nothing works. I've reset it twice, restarted with add-ons disabled. All with the same result. (I just clicked on the Show Details link at the bottom of this page, and nothing happened.

  • When Location Services are turned off, does Find My iPhone still count as turned on?

    Let's say I use iCloud, so I turned on Find My iPhone.
    But, I like to save battery, so I turn Location Services off while Find My iPhone is enabled, and I understand completely that if Lost Mode is enabled, then Location Services are turned on and enable Find My iPhone.
    Scenario:
    I go traveling. I lose my phone. It gets stolen. Location Services were turned off (I like to save battery). If the thief were to try to restore the phone, would he/she get a message saying "Find My iPhone is enabled. Please turn it off before restoring this iPhone."? OR, since Location Services are off, would the restore go on ahead without any confirmation?
    This scenario is assuming I don't activate Lost Mode before the thief can plug the device into his/her computer and attempt a restore.
    So when Location Services with Find My iPhone enabled are turned OFF, would Find My iPhone still be considered ON and therefore, give a confirmation message before any restoration?
    I just want to verify that I'm still secure even when I turn off Location Services to save battery.
    Thanks for reading!

  • What do i do when my ipad 2 turn off after i updated software to ios 7

    does anyone know what to do when your ipad 2 gets frozen on the apple logo after updating the software of ios4 to ios 7?

    If reset doesn't work, force your iPad into Recovery Mode
    1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
    If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button.
    5. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
    Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad. Data will be lost.

  • Why does my iPod touch keep freezing when I attempt to turn off iCloud Keychain in the settings?

    Everytime I try to turn off iCloud Keychain, my iPod's
    Screen freezes and automatically turns iCloud Keychain back on. I really don't want ICloud Keychain and it has been a while since I tried to turn it off.

  • Flash CS5.5 Auto-Saves Even When Auto-Save is Turned Off In Preferences

    So I'm using Adobe Flash Professional CS5.5, and in the preferences, I have the "Auto-Recovery" set to "5 minutes", and it's turned OFF. However, about every minute or so, my projects auto-save. It's annoying because it freezes it for about 2 seconds. It's especially annoying when I'm in the middle of drawing something or doing something like that. It screws me up, and it's annoying. It's DEFINITLEY turned off, and it auto-saves for me still. Yes, I KNOW it's definitley auto-saving, because the asterisk (*) in the project title disappears after it's done loading for 2 seconds every minute. Help. Thanks.

  • Why do my apps refuse to start when my iPod 4G turns off from lack of power?

    When my iPod 4th Generation runs out of power and shuts off, giving me the signal to plug it in to charge, some apps refuse to work. For example, I open up an app, and it immediately closes. Is this because there are some apps from another account on the iDevice?

    The account has nothing to do with it.
    Try the standard fixes to rule out a software problem:
    - Reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod
    if still problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Video (VLC and Quicktime) lags when other monitor is turned off

    I have a mac mini running 10.6.1 with a dual monitor setup (mini dvi to dvi, and mini displayport to dvi). When i have a video running in either vlc or quicktime on one of the monitors and i turn the other monitor off, the video begins to lag every 3 seconds.
    Any ideas what i could do to fix this?

    Apparently something was up with my monitor connection. It was pushed in all the way, but when i took it out and put it back in the problem was fixed.

  • Why is Firefox typing and cursor are slow upon a normal startup but everything works well when I restart in safe mode?

    When I open FIrefox normally, the cursor movement is very jerky - seems to get stuck on every link. In addition typing in any box is delayed. When I restart with add-ons disabled and in safe mode, the cursor moves fine and typing is normal. I have disabled all my add-ons but that doesn't seem to help as each time I restart, the jerky cursor and delayed typing present again. What is wrong?

    Thanks - that seems to have solved the problem

  • Why is Firefox always displaying previous tabs when it opens?

    After I use Firefox and close the browser, the next time I open the browser it will reload ALL the tabs I had open previously. I have turned off this feature in the "options", but it's not working. ALSO, if I click on any link which is going to open a new window of Firefox, it will not go to that website, but instead load all the tabs that were open previously....again!

    WHY IS FIREFOX ALWAYS FREEZING AND NOT RESPONDING?
    i have deleted program and reloaded it and have same thing
