Why is it my home page won't load when I open, my back and forward buttons don't work, the tabs have no boarders, they just show text and I can't tell which one I'm on sometimes, I can't download things, and firefox won't remember tabs when I close it?

I've tried switching to an older version, re-installing the latest version, deleting add-ons, clearing my history and cookies, and nothing works. What the heck?! I didn't do anything, it just flipped out when I opened it!!!!

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.<br />
See:
* [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]]
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

My Microsoft Intellimouse back and forward buttons don't work in Firefox, but they do in IE and in Windows Explorer. It used to work, now it just stopped. Why and how can I fix this?

Forward and back buttons don't work in Firefox but do everywhere else.

Make sure that you set those buttons to the default action in your mouse driver software (Control Panel > Mouse or specific Intellimouse driver software).

I have lots of duplicate songs in ITunes. How can I tell which ones were purchased vs ripped?

I am trying to delete duplicate songs in iTunes library. How can I tell which ones were iTunes purchases and which ones I ripped from CD's.

If you turn on the Kind column your purchases will read Purchased AAC audio file or Protected AAC audio file.
BTW I've written a script called DeDuper which can help remove unwanted duplicates. See this thread for background.

In general most macs you buy are the same. If you will be doing quite a lot of editing of photos and videos, then the big things to look for are:
Processor - 2.8ish GHz Intel i7 4-core - is about the best I have head of thus far.
RAM - fairly easy to upgrade yourself, but 16GB is typically more than you will need for the next 5 years at least.
iLife is reasonably good software for editing media, but as a photographer, you may have your own prefered software
The good thing about Apple is that they don't sell ****** computers in general. They offer little in the way of customization of hardware which is both their strength and weakness.

My earphones mic and volume buttons don't work ever since the iOS 8.1 update! Please help me. One discussion person says they bought a new pair and THEY don't work either. What do I do? I'm about to have a breakdown!

I rely heavily on my earphones because well... I'm lazy but they don't work. They work on my friend's iPhone who hasn't updated yet but I've updayed and the mic and volume buttons don't work. Please make a correct update!

Nope, still same problem. I did an install, didn't work. Then I completely removed my IDT driver, restarted, installed the driver, restarted, same problem.
When I troubleshoot my audio it always asks me which one to troubleshoot. It only works if I do one of the "Speakers / HP - IDT" but I don't know why it has so many devices listed with the same name.
Also, after I troubleshoot and I can hear audio, if I go to "Manage audio devices" it still shows that no audio device is installed, which is why the webinars won't work.

When a contact has multiple numbers, how can I tell which one called me?

For example, if a single contact entry has a "home" number and a "mobile" number, there seems to be no intuitive way to tell which one called me from the iOS 7 phone app--only the contact name is listed on the Recents screen, and the info button for the call shows all the numbers for that contact.
I've done extensive searching, and though I found some people asking the same question, I couldn't find any answers! I could wait and examine my phone bill statement, but I don't think it shows the incoming number... I figure there must be a way, because clearly my phone knows the specific number!

When I look at calls in my Recents list, there are two lines. The top line is the contact name, the second line is the listing from my contacts that indicates the label for the number the call came from. If that is not enough, then you can tap on the at the end of the listing which brings you to the individual contact. The number you received the call from will be in a different color than the other numbers. In mine it is in blue. This is just like the information provided in the earlier part of this thread.

Here are the specs and configurable options for your HP Pavilion p7-1380t Desktop Computer. Here are the specs for it's H-Joshua-H61-uATX (Joshua) motherboard. According to the motherboard specs, this system has 4 USB 2.0 ports on the back as shown below;

'Home' and 'End' buttons don't work??

I am a new mac user...recently converted, so you guys might see my name coming up a lot in here...lol
So this 'home' and 'end' issue isn't just in Safari...it's on the iMac in general....even in TextEdit....
In Safari, for example, say I am typing a web address and I want to go back to the beginning by hitting the 'home' button (or even right now, I just made a typo, went back and fixed it and wanted to jump back to the end of the sentence using 'end'), but this doesn't work. Again, this is not just in Safari, but even in TextEdit...Please don't tell me iMac doesn't support the 'home' and 'end' functions...I will die! lol Okay, not die, but seriously, that will be a huge headache.
Thanks for any help!!!

Thanks for the and

One or more cartidges appears to be damaged How can I tell which one?

I just had my 4 cartidges refilled at Cosco. Came home and installed them and get the One or more cartidges appears to be damaged message. Looked at the little example on the printer screen and it looked like it was telling me the Yellow was the one. Just bought a new yellow and still get the message. Does the printer tell you which cartridge is bad or is it just replace them all?

bnba,
Welcome to the HP Forum.
Commentary
This is a difficult question to ask of our Experts in that most of us would never suggest that you use refilled cartridges in your HP printer in the first place.
Long term, you might damage the printer using refilled ink cartridges. This is true for any brand printer in my opinion.
If the printer was inexpensive to begin with - well, little lost except the shame for the trash created when the printer must be replaced soonner rather than later.
If you paid good money for that printer - then you might consider the investment you have made thus far and decide whether refilled cartridges are worth the risk.
Short term -- you can run a diagnostic test on the printer and see if it can tell you what it thinks about the situation.
Most printers provide diagnositcs and testing under Settings or Tools on the Front Panel.

Blank home page except for toolbars; no address bar; no back or forward arrows; remove unwanted icons form toolbar

I just installed Firefox 4.0 last night. Uninstalled and re-installed today but still have the same problems as last night. 1) I have toolbars across the top but the rest of the screen is white and empty. 2) I have no address bar. 3) I have no forward or back arrows. 4) I would like to remove undesired icons from toolbars but don't know how. I have a Windows VISTA PC and high grade virus protection.

The Page Up/Page Down buttons don't work in Safari 6 Reader

I've been trying to read articles in Safari 6 using the reader. The page up/page down buttons and the Spacebar shift-spacebar buttons don't work the way they should. Instead of bringing you to the next page of text they bring you to the top or bottoms of the article. You have to manually scroll through the article to read it, which is a pain. This should be fixed. I already submitted feedback on this. Anyone else have any ideas?

Why are the back/forwards buttons no longer working after upgrade?

Hi, I recently upgraded from Firefox 3.5 (I believe) to Firefox 4.0.1 and now the back and forwards buttons no longer work. I tried resetting the settings under the toolbars > customize, etc. That didn't work. FYI, I'm using a mac. Any solutions? Thanks in advance...

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

How can I tell which page is hogging my CPU?

You know how sometimes when you're browsing your cooling fans will kick into overdrive, and your MacBook becomes noticeably warm, if not downright hot, and if you open the Activity Monitor and sort processes by %CPU it shows the Flash plug-in at the top of the list, using more CPU than the next ten processes put together?
Determining which page contains the Flash object that's responsible can be difficult if you have a lot of windows and tabs open. First you have to tell which pages have Flash content. It isn't always obvious. Sometimes Flash ad banners look like static images or gif animations. The easiest way to tell is to right-click and see if you get the normal contextual menu or the Flash menu (unfortunately, ad banners sometimes listen for the mousedown event and navigate to the advertiser's site).
If you have several different pages with Flash content open, the quickest way to tell which one is hogging your CPU is to close them one by one while watching the Activity Monitor window, but then you'll end up closing a lot of windows you really didn't want to close.
A more precise, and more time-consuming, way to narrow down your list of suspects, if you have the "Develop" menu item enabled, is to inspect the page and hide the element that the Flash is embedded in. This is made more difficult by the fact that you can't inspect the element by right-clicking directly on the Flash object--that just brings up the Flash menu--and sometimes clicking nearby doesn't get you close to it because they sometimes insert the Flash elsewhere in the document and move it to its apparent location with JavaScript or CSS positioning. Once you find it, you then need to edit the object's parent element, adding "display: none;" to its style rules. Then check the Activity Monitor to see if you got the right one.
I've searched in vain for a browser plugin that shows how much cpu or memory each page is using, or which pages include Flash content, or a utility like Activity Monitor that gives more detailed information on specific processes, and I'm wondering if anyone else has had any luck or has any tips on how to quickly identify useless content that wastes CPU time and kills performance.

Hi David
Rather than trying to sort out persistent Flash problems, simply install ClickToFlash - latest stable version is 1.5.5. This effectively blocks all Flash content, except for any you specifically want to view.
Once installed, you'll see the word "Flash" in a grey panel wherever Flash ads etc would otherwise appear. If you want to see the Flash content, simply click on the word "Flash". If this is a site you frequent, right click on the word Flash and add it to ClickToFlash's White list.
You'll find access to ClickToFlash's preferences via the Safari Menu.
Given Apple's recent position on the use of Flash content, perhaps this deformed/ill-conceived plugin medium will be a thing of the past within 2 years.

My nephew lend me his iPad and I have wi-fi service @ home, I get the wi-fi icon on top, it's activated but when I open Safari to go online it ask me for the password which I have and type in. It tells me I have typed incorrect pw. What's wrong?

my nephew lend me his iPad and I have wi-fi service @ home, I get the wi-fi icon on top of iPad, it's activated but when I open Safari to go online it ask me for the password which I have and type in. It tells me I have typed incorrect pw. What's wrong? I even called my internet server and they cant help! They're saying my nephew must have a block. I asked my nephew and he said "what r they talking about, I have no block" Can anyone help ME PLZ.

When you go to Settings > WiFi and see your network name does it have a padlock icon to the right of the network name? If so it is a secured network with a password.
How did you connect to your network from the iPad? From Settings > Wifi? Was a network password requested? Was it accepted?
If you touch the ">" to the right of your network name what do you see for IP Address, Subnet Mask, Router, and DNS?
