Why is firefox randomly playing advertisment clips that are not present on the screen?

I just downloaded Firefox 4 and now whenever I choose a new website or search, some kind of advertisement clip plays. I cannot find any ad box to close it or pause it, but it cuts itself off after about 30-60 seconds. If I stay on the website it repeats the same ad again. (Even on this site I have had random ad clips playing). I am not very computer literate so I don't know if its something I need to do on my end to shush these ads (preferably permanently) or something that I might need to seek help for.

Sounds as if you have some Malware on your PC.
Install, update, and run these programs in this order. They are listed in order of efficacy. '''''(Not all programs detect the same Malware, so you may need to run them all to solve your problem.)''''' These programs are all free for personal use, but some have limited functionality in the "free mode" - but those are features you really don't need to find and remove the problem that you have. 
''Note: If your Malware infection is bad enough and you are mis-directed to URL's other than what is posted, you may have to use a different PC to download these programs and use a USB stick to transfer them to the afflicted PC.''

Why won't FireFox 4 play mp3 files that have been created since the FF update? It will play mp3 files created prior to the FF update. All of the mp3 files have been created in the same manner, as bounces from Logic Pro 9. Thank you.

Hi David,
Thank you for your detailed question. It sounds like the real issue is pdf files. Are there any antivirus/firewalls that might be blocking this specific file type? or are there any preferences in your control panel that might be blocking this?
Do you have any stored preferences for PDF files in Firefox?

There are a few tv shows that played this week that are not available on itunes from tnt. Why are they not available for download.

There are a few tv shows that played this week that are not available on itunes from tnt. Why are they not available for download. We watch these each week, and I have checked to be sure that there was actually an episode this week, and there was.

Under other "sync-able" players, there's usually the "Sync only checked items" radio button. Not for the 2.0 Apple TV. There's no option, but acts as though that option ("sync only, etc...") has been selected. Figured it out after an hour of walking back and forth from my Mac to the TV. Argh.
Try it. De-select the shows, sync the AppleTV and look under the "TV Shows" and the one's you've unchecked will not be there.
R,

How to unglue clips that are stuck together in the timeline

I've looked everywhere, I'm sure it's there but I can not find how to "unglue" clips that are stuck together in the timeline. NOT break apart clip items, but get rid of those pesky things that attach the different levels of video together. And BTW what the heck are those little claws called?
Thank you so very very much in advance!

You can't move tracks. Everything in the timeline has to be connected to the primary storyline at some point. Each clip that's connected can be connected individually so it's free floating and the connection point can be moved anywhere you want, or the clips can be strung togother and connected at a single point. You can Opt-Cmd-click to change the connection to a new location, but it has to be connected somehow.

Removing songs from iTunes, that are not saved on the computer

Hey guys.
First of all i would like to thank you for reading my post and trying to help.
Anyways, i rent an external harddrive from one of my friends, and he had a huge amount of songs, that i would like to get on my computer. Stupid as i am, i started downloading directly from the harddrive, which result in a lot of songs in my iTunes, that are not saved in the computer, and when i remove the external harddrive from my computer, all the songs cannot play. So after that, i saved them on my computer, and tried getting them into iTunes once again. This has resulted in a double of every songs. Which is quite much.. Are there any ways, that i can do a "Clean-up" and remove all the songs that are not saved on my computer or not working or something like that?
I appreciate your help. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
If your previous library was matched on you your computer, you can retrieve your music from itunes match on your computer.
Sign in to match and add your computer. Your library will now show all the music that is in match. You should be able to download all your music back on to your computer.

Refrencing objects that are not present on frame 1 of a movieclip

Hi everyone!
I'm working with a movieclip right now that has two frames in it. I want the user to be able to go back and forth between the pages by clicking on tabs on either page. The button that they click on is only present on the frame that it is applicable (so, the button to switch to frame 2 is only present on frame 1, and vice versa).
I want to control when they are able to click back and forth, and be able to turn the buttons on and off whenever I need to, but since the button to switch back to frame 1 is only on frame 2, when I reference it from the main timeline, the button registers as a null object. How do I refrence an object that is not present on the first frame of a clip?
Here's the gist of what I have. The main timeline has an object called "mAccess" that has 2 frames, Windows and Reports. At the top there are two tabs, one for Windows, one for Reports. The Windows tab is only clickable when on the Reports frame (frame 2) and the Reports tab is only clickable when on the Windows frame (frame 1)
Main Timeline:
 mAccess.bReports.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoreportstab);
 function gotoreportstab(event:MouseEvent) {
 mAccess.gotoAndStop(2);
 mAccess.bWindows.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotowindowstab); <--- This gives me the error about the null object reference,
 function gotowindowstab(event:MouseEvent) { since bWindows does not exist on frame 1 of mAccess.
 mAccess.gotoAndStop(1);
Thanks for whatever help you can give me!

the bottomline is you can't reference an object that doesn't exist (yet). the easiest work-around is to make sure your object exists on the frames where you need to reference it. the object doesn't need to be visible so this isn't much extra-work. you can add and remove the object from the displaylist as you see fit or enable and disable its visible property.

Download resources that are not listed in the JNLP file

There is some way to download resources that are not listed in the JNLP file, and then
ask for them with DownloadService ? (isResourceCached)
thanks.

currently, the jnlp spec requires DownloadService to access only resources specified in the jnlp file..
changing this is a proposed RFE for the next spec version:
4908304: JWS DownloadService should not require mention in JNLP file

How to add video files to iMovie that are not present in photos ?

i purchased iMovie yesterday for iPad and i am enjoying it a lot , but how to add my personal videos to edit that are not present in photos ? i m not a mac user but i hope soon i will get the budget to buy mac

Put your videos in a folder and sync iPhone with iTunes, "Photos" tabpreviously selected "Sync photos" and checked the box next to "videos include" I understand you do not have Mac, but with a PC can do the same, with this you will reel and your videos can be edited withiMovie on your iPhone.

I just purchased a mac mini and wondered if it's safe to download the Kobo reader app. can I download things from the internet that are not available in the apple store?

I just purchased a mac mini and wondered if it's safe to download from the internet (such as Kobo) that are not available on the app store. It asked me if I was sure it was safe, so it's got me worried.

If you know the sites are OK, then download away.

How do I delete items from menu bar that are not part of the OS

How do I delete items from menu bar that are not part of the OS

Perhaps you could be more specific, as it is a little difficult to answer your question without any details. I can give you some general ideas though.
On my machine there are a few applications that have installed items into the menu bar - I'm assuming you are talking about the icons on the right hand side of the top bar. To remove those items, I would generally need to uninstall the program that created them. To do this varies a little from application to application.
Also, sometimes an application will have preferences that allow you choose if you want to display the item in the menu bar.
So, my general advice would be that you need to identify the application that placed the item there, and remove it from your computer. If there is an uninstall program for that application, I would run that in the first instance.
If you don't actually wish to uninstall the application, you may need to click on the item or run the application and see if there is a setting to not show the menu bar item.
Hope that helps.
Ivan

I'm sure it is but it'll cost you if it's out of warranty or if the warranty does not cover the damage. Take it to a nearby Apple store.
