With w8.1 .gif is set to use w photo viewer; yet in tbird, it opens gif with w mediaplayer,; how do I stop this from happening?

is there a separate setting for default program associations in T bird or Firefox?
I have set the association correctly in control panel, yet the problem persists in Thunderbird.

Do you organise your email into separate folders, or do you just let it accumulate in the Inbox?
I would strongly advise you not to let it sit in the Inbox.
When you see this happening, try right-click on the affected folder, select '''Properties''' then '''Repair Folder'''.
Large folders (actually, a folder in Thunderbird is stored as a file, so it is sensitive to file size limits set by the underlying file system) can be problematic. This is one reason not to let messages collect in one folder. I use Thunderbird's Archive folders so that accumulated mails over several years can happily coexist because they are effectively stored in many small folders. No single mail store folder then exceeds the 2GB or 4GB sizes that have been known to stress the OS. I appreciate that current builds of Thunderbird and a modern 64-bit OS should be able to cope, but practically I find it slows down when given huge files, so I err towards a pragmatic solution; a large number of not very big files.
Archives are searchable, and a Saved Search folder can give you a virtual composite folder allowing access to the entire Archive.

My macbook is extremely hot and the fan is worryingly loud, what is wrong with it and how do i stop this from happening?

For soem reason if I actually dare to use my macbook the fan kicks in and is so loud that I am unable to use skype or other voice programs without a headset because of its volume, also it gets very hot very fast, so hot that if I rest it on my knees it burns. I normally have it on a desk and the area is well ventialted. I have no print queues and rarely have more than two programs running at a time. Can anyone offer a suggestion of what is wrong and how I can fix this please? One of the main reasons I bought one in the first place was that they are so quiet when shown them in the apple store, but this is worryingly loud...

Thanks, it seems that it doesn't like to play games, which is a bit of a bummer as i bought this specifically because it was capable of doing that. To be fair, it is capable... I just need to get used to a sound like sitting by a washing machine on spin cycle... Wish they would make people aware of this in the Apple Store, its very misleading and not at all desireable.

You can share the same Apple ID in
Settings > iTunes & App Store > Apple ID: here
But for all other Apple services like:
FaceTime, iMessage, iCloud, etc, one of you should use a different Apple ID.

I have changed my Apple ID from an old email to a new one. But It keeps coming up with my old email and asking for my old password. How do i stop this from happening and get it onto my new one?

I have changed my Apple ID from an old email to a new one. But It keeps coming up with my old email and asking for my old password. How do i stop this from happening and get it onto my new one? Its on my Ipad and iphone 5, please help as its doing my head it

How do you update it? Basically what has happened my password was disabled for "security reasons" on sunday (21/10/12), so i tried to reset it, but for some reason i couldnt get into my old email (probably because i havent used it for 2 years), so i read on here i could swap it to a new email that i currently use (which is what i have done) ive swapped everythin over to it (facetime, iCloud etc) but keeps coming up with old email and asking for password

HT5361 Why is that when I am composing a new message do I end up with multiple versions of my message I am composing up in my Google Trash mailbox? How can I stop this from happening?

Why is that when I am composing a new message do I end up with multiple versions of my message I am composing up in my Google Trash mailbox? How can I stop this from happening?

It was very hard to see what the box says because the message displays for less than one second. However, I was able to record it with my iphone and pause it until I got a shot of the message. The box says the following:
"Do you want the application “java” to accept incoming network connections?
Clicking deny may limit the application’s behavior. This setting can be changed in the Firewall pane of Security preferences."
I did make some changes. I will see if it works.
Thank you!!!

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

I have a new iPhone 4S, have noticed when texting some of my contacts with iPhones that my text sends on imessage and the text duplicates itself. how do i stop this from happening?

I have a new iPhone 4S and have noticed that when I text a friend with an iPhone it automatically send the message via imessage and sends the text twice, how can I stop this from happening?

Your phone is setup from default with iMessage turned on. Your friends phone obviously isn't. I have a friend that has an iPhone 3G[S] with an old phone plan that didn't require a data package and he's just been swapping the sim card for 5 years. When he's at home, his phone is on wifi and it sends over iMessage. When he's at work on 3G the phone defaults back to text message because he doesn't have a data plan to send iMessage over. The phone isn't actually sending 2 messages. You send in iMessage and if the other phone is off of iMessage, it will resend to that phone as a green text message. That person never got the blue iMessage you tried to send because their iMessage wasn't working.

Every time I press 'enter' while using firefox, 2 or 3 new tabs open up with a website that I've never used. How do I stop this from happening? Thanks :)

The website that comes up is www.carpoint.com.au
I haven't ever used this site.

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer. 
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. 
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

Sometimes my email headers get crossed with bodies of other emails (next in the list), so how do I stop this from happening?

We use Thunderbird with the email header list (Inbox, etc) in an upper pane, and the body of the highlighted email in a separate lower viewer pane.
We compact files whenever asked by the software.
In a long list of emails, I click on one header (at the top of the list) to view it in the pane below. Once in a while, the headers get mixed up and do not preview the proper email in the viewer pane.
I will highlight and view an email, and then delete it. When this glitch occurs, the body of the deleted email appears in the lower pane when I click on the next email header in the upper pane list. The viewer pane should be showing me the new body of the just-highlighted email, but instead it shows the deleted body of the previously-viewed email. Once that new header is clicked, and the wrong body appears in the viewer pane, the proper email body disappears forever. I have to call my customer to have them resend.
If I click on other emails further down the list, the same body (of the deleted email) continues to show up each time, and all the correct bodies of all the clicked headers are gone. So, phone calls have to happen to ask all the affected emails to be resent. (So, we have learned to stop as soon as we see it happen the first time.)
The only way we have found to fix this is to close Thunderbird, and then reboot the computer. When Thunderbird is re-opened, the problem goes away. But any lost email bodies are permanently gone.
We can't seem to find any strange set of events that make this happen. It appears random, and varied. Sometimes every week, sometimes not for months.
This happens on 2 computers. One is a 2 year old PC (Compaq), and one is a 3 year old HP Probook laptop. Both currently using Thunderbird 24.5.0. Both run Windows 7. Both have lots of memory. Both are very stable machines with very few problems. Seems to be more prevalent on the Compaq desktop than the HP Probook.
Please help.
Thanks in advance.

Every time I open Firefox I get a new page with an ad for Walmart I can't seem to stop it from happening. It doesn't do this with any of my other browsers, however I prefer Firefox.. can you suggest how I can stop this from happening.

I have to close this "other page" before I can use Firefox
It's annoying and is preventing me from using Firefox as my regular browser which I would prefer to do.
Also any scans I've made with virus or hidden ads has come up negative.
I'm at a loss to fix this.
Can you help?

When I use "Email link" in Firefox, the Outlook message default formatting changes (font, font size, paragraph spacing) - how can I stop this from happening?

In Outlook, my default message format includes the following:
Font: Arial 10pt font
Spacing: Before: 0pt, After: 0pt
When I email a link from Firefox, a new message opens, which has the following formatting:
If I type anything before the URL, the formatting is:
Font: Arial 10pt font
Spacing: Before: 0pt, After: 0pt
If I type anything after the URL, the formatting is:
Font: Times New Roman 12pt font
Spacing: Before: Auto, After: Auto
This doesn't happen with Internet Explorer - when emailing a link, my default message format is retained.
Since I email a lot of links for my job, and I prefer to use Firefox, this is a pretty annoying issue!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Michelle
Outlook 2007
Firefox 36.0.4

From Firefox, I click on "File' and then 'Email link'.
This results in a new Outlook message opening automatically, with the URL copied into the body of the message.
I then add my own text, see the screenshot image. That's where the formatting problems come in!
Cheers,
Michelle
