On my desktop, when wanting to see pictures on a CD, if I click on the picture icon it open as a word document. I must right click on the icon then click on preview and can then see all pictures on the CD. This just started after the last Firebos update. What needs to be done to correct. I have no problem seeing the pictures on my laptop which doen not have Firefox.
Firefox is a web browser, and your problem is associated with how Windows handles image files. Firefox doesn't even need to be running, so I don't see how it could be associated with your problem. If the problem started around the same time as a Firefox update, I'm willing to bet that it was just a coincidence.
Try asking in a Windows forum. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/help/community -

why when i try to open youtube videos on facebook they don't work, I receieve a message (an error occurred, please try again later) but when i open the videos at youtube they works ???Can you open up your Real Player and tell me what version you have? I think Real Player 15.0.6 is supposed to fix this problem. There was a conflict between Real Player and Flash this whole summer that broke Flash videos. Real Player released a update that might help in your case.
If that doesn't help, I think a addon might be to blame here. So do this:
<br> '''Firefox button <img src=https://support.mozilla.org/media/uploads/images/2012-03-27-09-22-48-1204f1.png> > Help > Troubleshooting Information'''
<br> (or '''Tools > Help > Troubleshooting Information''')
Then click the "Copy all to clipboard" button then paste it here. It will tell us what addons you have installed and I can see which one might be causing problems. -
Why when I try to print a document in psd, photoshop gives me an error and tells me "photoshop stopped working and was closed"
Look at your system crash report for your Photoshop crash. See what module failed. I its is in you printers driver. See if the is an update available for it.

Why when I try to open find Iphone on one of my ipads it doesn't open, but on another it does?
You must be running one of the versions shown in this graphic with the incompatibility sign on it:
You will need to use the Apple ID and password used to purchase the Mac. If you continue to have problems contact the support personnel at the App Store thru this link:

Why when i tried to attach a document from pages it will send in jpeg not text?
Why when I tried to attach a document from pages it will send in jpeg(image)?
How can I attach pages to email in simple text format?Possibly.
You could test that by dropping a largish image into a test Pages document and duplicating it until your document won't send.
Some eMail clients have ceiling levels for file sizes, as do some receiving servers.
Also test to see if you can simply export your file to pdf, in which case it will be retained on your iPad. That would be a first step.

Hi
Just recently Finder has stopped behaving as it normally would. Clicking the icon doesn't seem to launch the finder window. I have to right click the finder icon and then click New Finder Window. Sometimes there is no response for sometime and then finally it does open a window. If I click finder when a wondow is open it does not shift focus to finder anymore. I am sure this did not use to be the case?
PS. not sure if this is how to put things on the forum as haven't used them before!
JulianClick on the spotlight icon in the top right of your screen (looks like a magnifying glass), type
Terminal
and press 'return'.
In the window that opens up, paste or type this exactly into the window
killall Finder; killall Dock
(that's case sensitive) and press 'return'.
You'll notice the Dock disappear for a second or two then return, as do any open Finder windows.
Test using Finder as normal. Same problem? -
Why do I have to Right Click to open a Application or Link on my desktop?
On My Mac Mini, to open a application such as Mail or Safari I have to Right Click then open it.
Does any one have any solution on how I could fix this? So I could just click on it twice then it should open.
Thankyou
Neil PatelHi, glad I could help!
Let me clarify my answer:
In OSX 10.6 (snow leopard) it's in mouse/trackpad, like I said.
I answered you from my MBP which is still SL.
I realise now that in 10.8 Mountain Lion (and probably Lion, which I skipped) this setting has moved to Accessibility.
Didn't notice until now, just checked it on my relatively new Mac Mini (which runs Mountain Lion)
I wonder why they moved it, it seems not a logical location. All the mouse settings should be grouped together in Mouse/Trackpad prefs, in my opinion.

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.

Why when almost completed editing a video on imovie, have almost half the clips developed narrow aspect - the rest is still widescreen? The faulty clips have developed grey bands top and bottom.
Tried to duplicate the situation.
Most probably I got it wrong but when adding in
• a photo in 16x9 then I get a black letterbox-ing
• an 16x9 video taken from a small compact digital Camera and in wrong frames per seconds (30fps) in a PAL (25fps) project - I get this gray banding too. Strange
May be it has to do with matching different fps in same project - never liked to do that as quality usually suffers and it goes jumpy.
I use JES_Deinterlacer to get all my material into the same standard first - not letting iMovie or iDVD do that conversion as that gives ME BAD RESULT.
Someone with clear knowledge on this - Please feel free to fill in and correct.

Why when I try to update certain app it require an old email address and password I have not used for years and I do I get to update them on my new details
Apps are tied to the Apple ID that was used to purchase them and you will always need to use that ID and password in order to update them.
Saying that you do get to update them on your new details makes no sense at all. -
Why when I use Brush Tool on a layer mask, I must click on somewhere else then I am able to see my effects of my previous brush on my mask.
If I don't click click on somewhere else, I cannot even see my current brush effects
This kind of problem really slow down my work flow. So if you guy know the solution of my problem, please let me know.
ThanksUpdate your graphics driver/ turn off GPU usage in the performance prefs. You have an issue with hardware-based transparency handling most likely. Otherwise you could have an issue with your input device, but since you have not provided any system info, we can't really know anything.

I want to be able to open a new browser window when I click on the Firefox icon on the taskbar. I don't want to have to right click and select anything. I have windows 7.
This is a "pinned" icon? Try holding the Shift key when you click it -- that seems to work for me.

Why does my iCloud email continually stall (hang) when I'm typing a message? I have a 2013 MacBook Pro and I'm running the latest version of Yosemite. This is the first time that I've been absolutely frustrated with an Apple product. Can you help me, please?
Download a new copy of the Firefox program: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean reinstall.
Install the new version that you have downloaded.

Why when i buy a new Nokia phone i have to buy som...
I've purchased the new NOKIA 6233. I realized that all the USB cable drivers and software work under OS Windows 2000 or Windows XP. I have Windows 98 and everything works ok. Why when i buy a new phone i also have to pay to upgrade my computer? Why Nokia doesn't provide drivers for all users?Message Edited by spero on 28-Aug-2006
07:13 AMIt does not and will not work with windows ME. There is nothing that you can do to change that fact.
Win ME is old, obsolete and unsupported by microsoft.
You have three choices for updating your phone:
1) Buy and install win xp or vista, then install the software updater.
2) Update you phone using someone else's pc which has xp or vista.
3) Visit a care point and ask them to update your phone.
