Why, when I get on the local news CBS website, it loads, then the screen disappears until they either write or read something to my computer and I can't stop it
While on the yahoo home page, I click on the local CBS website for new info. The page loads okay, but then, it shuts the whole browser screen off and I can't get it back on, nor can I use "control-alt-delete" to stop this. It seems like they take over my computer and they have control until they do what ever it is they are doing - maybe writing to my computer or reading cookies or both. I have no control other than shutting off the power. I can't right click on the menu bar icon for Firefox and shut it down there, either. I have onlyh run into it on this site, I think.
Hey ksp4,
It may help to remove and reinstall the app.
If an app you installed unexpectedly quits, stops responding, or won’t open

I have followed the steps above for downgrading iCloud storage options, but when I get to the screen to select a downgraded option, the Done button is grayed out and won't let me select a new option. I see a lock in top right-hand corner, but not sure where to go to unlock it.
Choose Apple () menu > System Preferences, then click the iCloud icon.
Click the Manage button.
Click Change Storage Plan.
Click Downgrade Options.
Enter your Apple ID password, then click Manage.
Choose your current plan, then click Done.

I am trying to set up an iTunes account without a credit card. However when I get to the screen that asks for credit card information, 'none' is not an option. According to the instructions on the website, that should be an option. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for the response,
Yes, I followed the instructions to the letter. But it asks for credit information anyway and 'none' is supposed to be an option when setting up an account 'with no credit card'.
I have two new iphones, the first one set up as expected, where 'none' was an option. Now that I'm attempting to set up the second with different information, there is no 'none', only Mastercard,Visa, AmerX, Discover and Paypal.

why when i fully expand my screen contents do i lose the red, yellow, and green buttons at the top left used to close, expand, and minimize
That's just the way it is in full screen mode. You need to come out of FS to see the dots again.

I am having problems with safari. The screen is darkened and I can't use touch screen or tabe. But I can use the address bar and go to anouther website. Other then that I can see website but can't touch nothing, how do I fix
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Or
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Or if those do not work - quit Safari
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button. -

iTunes on your computer will Automatically do the work for you. -
While using the browser every now and then it goes to not responding then an error message pops up with this Script: chrome://fflinkfilter/content/IKavLinkHighlightFilter.js:126 it asks me to stop it and dont ask again but that don't seem to work.
This issue is caused by an extension (fflinkfilter) that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

i just bought my ipod touch 32mg, i cannt get it to start up. when i get to the screen connect to itunes it wont let me go to any other screen to finish setting it up.
You need to use a laptop or a PC. Download and install iTunes. Create an iTunes account and then use the USB cable to connect your iPod to your computer.
Depending on the amount of charge in the battery it may take a few minutes for iTunes and your computer to recognize the iPod.
When iTunes detects your iPod you can give it a name and set up how and what you want iTunes to synch to the iPod.
While you're on line, connecte to the App Store and download the owners manual for your iPod... -

Ever since the new update in iMovie all my audio seems to be there ,but when I get in the middle of the video the audio is off. Help?
I think the problem is that the iPod got set to Manually manage music and videos. It needs to be set up for automatic syncing again. Just unchecking that Manually manage music and videos setting does not do it.
In iTunes 12, select the iPod in iTunes (using the device button), so that you see the iPod's "management" screen. In the sidebar (along left side of screen), there are two headings (Settings and On My Device). Under Settings, click on Music. To the right, you see the iPod's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
Check the box at the top for Sync Music. That turns ON automatic syncing for music. Below that, choose the option to sync Entire music library (assuming your music library fits completely on your iPod). Otherwise, you can choose the option to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres and make your selections below. Then click Apply. -
I'm trying to set up a sync account but when I get to the window with the "Create a new account" and "Connect" nothing happens when I push either of the buttons.
By the way, this is in the brand new Firefox 4, not an extension.

Why does the phone dial pad disappear when my finger gets near the screen?
Phone problem - the touch dialpad works for the primary number called, but goes blank as soon as my finger gets near the screen when I try to enter an extension number. Air Gesture, Motion, and Palm Motion are all turned off. Why does this happen? How can I correct it?
