• Firefox 8.0.1 on mac doesn't save preferences - I put "use custom settings", but it reverts to "remember history".

I checked that prefs.js is not locked. Add in preferences, like the colorful tabs preferences are not saved. The plugins are up to date.

• Windows 10 install doesn't work not after reboot (works fine until the PC is rebooted).

  It's bad enough. Upgrade to windows 10. Wanted to ensure that I started with a clean slate, so I have uninstalled FireFox, and then use the new edge of Windows browser to download the latest version of FireFox.

  He moved very well, remembers my bookmarks and settings, etc. Everything seems fine.

  But after a system restart, the FireFox icon on the desktop and the taskbar are just blank page icon, and when you try to run the program it says it cannot be found, or that I don't have permission to run it.

  Let's not get too hung up on how the bad error message is (go, Windows, who is?), the problem is that a program that worked very well until I rebooted now is not found or all of a sudden, I don't have permission to run it?

  The problem is if I try to boot from the desktop shortcut or if I go directly into C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox and double-click on Firefox.exe.

  I tried the things:

  1. check the properties of the installer to download stub (Firefox Setup Stub 40.0.3.exe). I noticed that it was reported as a program that had been downloaded on the Internet and could be 'blocked '. So I checked the 'Unlock' button Did an uninstall, and then run Setup again. Everything is fine. Restart - same problem.

  2. check the properties of the installer to download stub (Firefox Setup Stub 40.0.3.exe). I noticed that there are two weird entries 'unknown user' in the settings of security with a sort of GUID. I removed those two. Did an uninstall, and then run Setup again. Everything is fine. Restart - same problem.

  3. do you have an uninstall, and then run the installer as administrator (after making the above changes). Everything is fine. Restart - same problem.

  I'm out of ideas.

  A diagnosis by a Microsoft technician during a support chat session!

  If you want to do a clean install of FireFox on your Windows machine after upgrading to Windows 10, but you had FireFox installed on Windows 7 or Windows 8 before the upgrade, you must uninstall the TWO FireFox and install the service of Maintenance of Mozilla before performing cleaning.

  If you uninstall FireFox but not the service of Maintenance of Mozilla, you will get the squirrels I described, where FireFox stops working after a reboot or a disconnection / connection.

  I think this is related to the BS that Microsoft introduced with Windows 10 where, after installing FIreFox, if you click on the button that says that you want FireFox to be your default browser is not only to persist this setting directly. Need you to the configuration screen of Windows 10 for default programs, which is not at all intuitive, especially those based on past behavior.

  I think that FireFox should put an explanatory text (on the page where you click on the button to make FireFox the default browser) which explains what Microsoft is up to.

• Error message "Cannot save preferences" CS5.

  I get a CS5 error message since I upgraded our Mac to El Capitan: "cannot save preferences because the file is locked or you don't have the necessary access privileges." Use the "Get Info" command in the Finder to unlock the file... "I just got the phone with Apple support person. We could not even find a log (PSErrorlog.txt) file in the hidden library or preference files locked. We reset privileges for all Adobe files to unlocked nothing doesn't. On other orders, I also get a generic message "Could not complete your request because of a program error". (Specs are OS X El Capitan, Version 10.11.1 Mac;) CS 5, Version 12.) I tried to download the last update, but I get an error message saying "Failed download." This is probably due to the preferences/permissions error? All this started only occurring after the upgrade to El Capitan. Did anyone have any suggestions?

  Hi bogdan.a,

  You will need to give full read and write permissions in the following list of folders from Adobe:

  • Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe
  • Macintosh HD/users/user name/Library/Application Support / Adobe
  • : Macintosh HD/users/user/Library/Preferences/Adobe Photoshop CS5 Settings to name all of the permissions for this folder Adobe Photoshop CS5 Settings

  * User library must be hidden by default, which can be activated by opening finder > click the menu go up and press on and hold the option key, which would highlight hidden library

• Not ready external hard drives after reboot

  You have a weird question, or perhaps I should say one on that I can't find something. I've dealt with it for years and finally had enough of it. Rarely, I restart my Mac, do not need, is not something that happens often. But on the question.

  I have an iMac of 2015, internal SSD, or merge, I suppose, and a couple of external hard drives attached. Both are 4TB readers, by USB (for backups) and FireWire (for data, applications, iTunes library, photos, etc.). Both work perfectly during normal use.

  The question is when I reboot. My hunch is that these external drives are not fill their mental health checks / faster the drive internal system files, and when the OS is logged in, all the stuff on my external drives (in this case, my iTunes library) is not found. Of course, everything I do is point iTunes to the external drive and everything is fine (well, that and tell him where to find my wallpaper because it doesn't by default mountain landscape photo!).

  So I'm wondering - is there a way to delay the start of the BONE or the final control until external drives are online? Not a huge problem, but why not. I'm tired of fixing stuff when I reboot. Or else, is something to not configured right and the cause? Hmm.

  What do you say?

  Try to connect the external disk after reboot completed if he could climb.

• Can not see my own account after reboot

  After reboot I can only see the original user on my Mac + comments, but not the one I added.

  The original is my wife so if it connects inn, first of all, I'm able to move my user by logging out (users obtained all visible) or by selecting my self in the menu to the left of the projector users.

  Upgrade to 10.11.4 to see if there was a problem with 10.11.3 who was present when the account is added.

  It's annoying to sort of not finding your own account and I wonder what's wrong.

  Anyone with an idea?

  Hello dusanofrode,

  Thank you for contributing to the communities of Apple Support.

  If you cannot connect to the original account on your MacBook Pro, looks that FileVault has been activated. It encrypts the bootable floppy and requires that the original to "unlock" before user other users can subscribe in their user accounts. I can see how that might be irritating in the circumstances, and I have a few suggestions to check the situation and helps connect you to your account a little more quickly.

  To see if FileVault is turned on, connect to the user account of your wife and choose the Apple menu > System Preferences, click on Privacy & Security, and then click FileVault. You can find more information about FileVault in Use FileVault to encrypt on your Mac startup disk.

  If FileVault is turned on, you have two possibilities to be able to connect to your user account to start.

  • "Activate" your user account to connect to start up the Mac. You can do it in the preferences of FileVault (located under Security and confidentiality in system preferences):

  Allow users

  Click to enable users to log on at startup and unlock the encrypted information on the Mac. Users who are not enabled need an administrator to log on before you can use the Mac.

  Of OS X El Capitan: FileVault pane of security & privacy preferences

  • Turn off FileVault:

  When you turn off FileVault, the encryption is disabled and the contents of your Mac is decrypted. Decryption may take some time, depending on the amount of stored information. However, you can still use your Mac to perform other tasks while the information is that is decrypted.

  1. Choose the Apple menu > System Preferences, click on Privacy & Security, and then click FileVault.

  2. Click on the lock icon to unlock, then enter an administrator name and password.

  3. Click on turn off FileVault.

  4. Click on disable encryption.

  All the best.

• It cannot save preferences because the file is locked?

  Whenever I run the Photoshop application I have to charge third party extensions and redo the preferences settings.

  When I left, I get a warning icon.

  Could not save preferences because the file is locked, you don't have the necessary access permissions or another program is using the file. Use the "Get Info" command in the Finder to make sure that the file is unlocked and you are authorized to access the file.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you

  Resolved after 8 hours of trying.

  Hold down the "Command" 'option' and 'Shift' and open Photoshop. It will ask you if you want to delete the settings. Say Yes. You need to reset everything but it clears the problem instantly.

• I can't save analyses after you download Sierra OAS

  I can't save analyses after you download Sierra OAS.

  The "Save" button is grayed out?

  Hello 2014anthony1,

  Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

  I see that you can not save scans after updating to Mac OS Sierra. I would make sure I can save analysis too, I do a lot of scanning on my Mac. Let's work together and get this problem is resolved.

  I suggest to use macOS Sierra: update or change the printer software, more precisely, that these sections:
  
  

  Most printers are compatible with Mac OS. When you add a printer, Mac OS automatically uses AirPrint to connect to the printer or the printer software downloads (also called a printer driver).

  If you can not use a printer that is already added, or you see not the options you want in the print dialog box, you can add the printer again with different or software to print settings different.

  Add your printer with different parameters

  1. Choose the Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click Printers and scanners.

  2. Select your printer from the list, and then click the button Delete .

  3. Click on the button Add and if a context menu appears, choose Add a printer or a Scanner.

     A dialog box is displayed that lists all Hello, IP, printers directory shared, and open on your local network. It may take a minute or two for your printer to appear.

  4. Select your printer, when it appears in the list, and then do one of the following:

     • Use AirPrint: Click on the drop down menu, then choose AirPrint (or Secure AirPrint). If AirPrint is not on the shortcut menu, the printer does not support it.

     • Use a printer software installed on your Mac or downloaded from Apple: Click on the drop down menu, then choose Select software.

     • The software to print a file on your Mac: Click on the dropdown menu, then select other. Select the file, and then click Add.

  Update your printing software

  If your printer is not how to use AirPrint, you can use Software Update to download the latest version of the software. If you don't do this, you see a message that software is not available when you connect your printer.

  • Choose the Apple menu > App Store, and then click updates.

    Install the software updates that are listed for your printer.

  • If the software for your printer is not available using the software update, you can contact the manufacturer for more information. Maybe it's that your printer is not compatible with Mac OS. To check, see the article Apple Support printer and scanner software available for download.

  If you install the printing software you don't have Apple, printing software can not be updated automatically when you use the software update.

  Let us know if that helps. We'll help you get through this.

  All the best!

• El Capitan keyboard does not not after reboot

  I have a Macbook Pro 13 inch with OS X El Capitan 10.11.6

  After one of the recent improvements, I met a problem, if I take my mac, the keyboard and the trackpad to respond enough lag (if I constantly try to move the cursor, he'll have a time and then for like half an hour it will completely stop responding and after this the other repeats). It only happens after reboot and only on the login screen. So if I put my mac to sleep and then wake up, everything will work perfectly. Same thing if I managed somehow to connect, once the keyboard and trackpad respond correctly. The only button that works fine after reboot is the power button, but it doesn't help much, because it charges does not solve the problem somehow: as soon as the user selection screen, keyboard and mouse stops responding again (or should I say "start answering from time to time").

  I saw lots of questions here on the keyboard does not not after waking up, but as you can see, this isn't my situation.

  Try again in Safe Mode.

  Start up all by holding down the SHIFT key. It takes five minutes longer because it is a disk first aid on the way up, and you MUST provide your user name and password, even if you normally the automatic connection.

• 29 Firefox: toolbar guard reset after reboot

  Hello

  I use Firefox 29 since the first beta, and I did several customization menu. But if I take the 'Star + favorite' icon to the next restart I find in its default location (that is, before the menu button).
  Other items added to the toolbar disappear after reboot as well.

  I tried to return to default and the problem persists.

  I also tried to delete the localstore.rdf file and the problem remains.

  The problem is somehow similar to the following

  https://Bugzilla.Mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=854226

  I prefer not to create a new profile since I many extensions, so I ask if there is another file, containing these customizations, what I could try to remove it.

  Thank you.

  Underpass, I'm sure you're problem is caused by one of your modules.

  Can you try to pin-point the offending module? I would suggest the following method:

  1. Cut the half of your add-ons (disable in the Add-ons Manager) and restart Firefox.
  2. If the problem is still there, turn off half of the other add-ons and restart Firefox.
  3. Continue step 2 as long as you can reproduce the problem.
  4. If the problem in not there anymore, the offending module is among the list you just disabled and should be easier to find.

  Thank you!

• Safari on Mac not save history after restoring from Time Machine

  After doing a full restore on my Macbook Air of Time Machine, Safari is not displayed no browsing history, or he saves history after that I left Safari. I've restored the history file of Time Machine, but it does not, either. I'm not in private browsing mode. I also tried to erase the history, but it does not help.

  Any ideas?

  This procedure is a diagnostic test. It makes no changes to your data.

  Please triple - click anywhere in the line below on this page to select:

  ls -@BOaen L*/Safari | pbcopy

  Copy the selected text in the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination.

  Launch the Terminal application integrated in one of the following ways:

  ☞ Enter the first letters of his name in a Spotlight search. Select from the results (it should be at the top).

  ☞ In the Finder, select go utilities ▹ of menu bar or press the combination of keys shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

  ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.

  Paste in the Terminal window by pressing the command-V key combination. I tested these instructions only with the Safari browser. If you use another browser, you may need to press the return key after pasting.

  Wait for a new line ending with a dollar sign ($) below what you entered.

  The output of the command will be automatically copied to the Clipboard. If the command produces no output, the Clipboard is empty. Paste into a reply to this message.

  The Terminal window does not display the output. Please do not copy from there.

• Finder keeps glitching even just after relaunch

  I had trouble with my MacBook Pro recently. Whenever I try to open Finder, it opens a window which is all the glitch. When apps are trying to use the Finder in the same phenomenon occurs. I try to restart the Finder, the problem goes away for a few seconds and then it's all the bug once more.

  I use a MacBook Pro 13-inch, mid 2010 and here are the specs:

  Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

  Memory 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3

  Graphics  NVIDIA GeForce 320M 256 MB

  Software  OS X 10.9.3 (13D 65)

  Any suggestions?

  Please read this message before doing anything.

  This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don't be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.

  Step 1

  The goal of this step is to determine if the problem is localized to your user account.

  Select the feedback connections* and log in as a guest. Do not use the Safari connection only 'user comments' created by 'find my Mac '.

  While signed in as a guest, you will have access to your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you use them for the first time. Do not be alarmed by this behavior; It's normal. If you need any password or other personal information in order to complete the test, save, print, or write them before you start.

  Test while signed in as a guest. Same problem?

  After testing, log on to the guest account and in your own account, disable it if you wish. The files that you created in the guest account will be automatically deleted when you log out of it.

  * Note: If you have enabled 'find my Mac' or FileVault, then you cannot activate the guest account. The login 'User comments' created by 'Find my Mac' is not the same. Create a new account to test and delete it, including his home folder, after testing.

  Step 2

  The goal of this step is to determine if the problem is caused by changes in the system of third party that load automatically at startup or logon, by a device, by a police conflict or corruption of system files or some system caches.

  Please take this step regardless of the results of step 1.

  Disconnect all devices wired except those required to test and remove all the expansion cards from secondary market, as appropriate. Start in safe mode and log on to the account of the problem.

  Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or an earlier version, or if a firmware password is defined, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can not do this. Ask for additional instructions.

  Safe mode is much slower to boot and run as normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things work at all, including an audio output and a Wi - Fi connection on some models. The next normal boot can also be a bit slow.

  The login screen is displayed even if you normally connect automatically. You need your password to log on. If you have forgotten the password, you will have to reset it before you begin.

  Test in safe mode. Same problem?

  After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and make sure you always have the problem. View the results of steps 1 and 2.
