• When I try to system restore it asks which program I want to open with

  I had spyware called "vista defender pro" on my computer, so I downloaded "super anti-spyware", scanned my computer with it and deleted the spyware with it.  Now, many programs have disappeared so I want a system restore, but when I click on system restore it asks me to choose the program I want to use to open the file.  What can I do?

• Shortcuts to programs, EXE files does not open (you will be asked which program I want to use to open the file)

  My system has developed a strange (and annoying) issue that no longer allows me to double click on the shortcuts of programs or EXE files.  When I do, I give myself a menu asks me what program I want to use to open the file, as if I was trying to open a file with an extension that is not associated with.

  The only way to get all the programs to run more is to right click on the shortcut and select "Run as Administrator".

  Right click on the shortcut also reveals a new 'momentum' (Yes, spelled with one S tiny) option in the menu.  I have not tried it works, in my view, it could be related to some false recently-removed security software that appeared out of nowhere last night.

  Any help to remedy this situation and get back to normal functionality would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

  If program shortcuts are not no longer works, you will need to use a procedure special difficulty fo files .lnk (similar to the one used above with .exe files).

  Go to http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/06/22/reset-and-fix-broken-windows-vista-file-ext-and-type-associations-include-exe-com-sys-zip-lnk-folder-drive/ and select the .lnk and run it.  That should fix your shortcuts.  Or you can use the link provided above by Michael Murphy - it does essentially the same thing.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• Whenever I try to print something from my documents opens and says under xps. file and does not print

  Whenever I try to print something from my documents opens and says under xps. file and does not print. I also tried troubleshoot my computer and it says that my printer is not a driver and whenever he tries to fix it and says that it cannot install a driver. any help would be appreciated

  Looks like you have the default printer configured to be Microsoft XPS Document Writer.  Go to control panel > printers and devices and see which printer is enabled in a green circle.  If this is the XPS Document writer as I suspect, you can right click on your printer and then select "Set as default printer" after you do this, or if you cannot do this, answer with the brand and model of your printer and we are able to help if you have a driver problem.

  Hello monorayfromportland,

  If you are unable to connect to the iTunes Store on your Apple TV, take a look at the troubleshooting steps below:

  If you cannot connect to the iTunes Store on your Apple TV (4th generation):

  1. Make sure that your date and time are correct. Go to settings > general > Date and time.
  2. Check if your Apple TV software is up-to-date. To check the updates, select settings > system > software updates > software update.
  3. Make sure you have an active network connection. Go to settings > network.
  4. Check to see if other devices, such as computers or tablets, can connect to Wi - Fi and access to the Internet.

• After the migration to the new sshd, imovie now crashes whenever I try to open a project. All other applications are very good.

  Yesterday I installed a new SSD in my MacBook Pro 13 "unibody mid-2012 laptop computer.

  After installation, I formatted the drive, install a new copy, El Capitan, then moved the rest of my Time Machine backup.

  The computer works great, much more quickly than before. Everything works perfectly except...

  After migration, iMovie now blocks whenever I try to open a project. Every time. All other applications are very good. I even opened the original library from my old drive, opens the library of my Time Machine backup and they all down when I double-click on the icon for ANY project!

  The files are not corrupt because they have not changed. It doesn't matter which library I use, it crashes whenever I try to open a project.

  So far, everything on the Mac works fine. Other applications of Apple, everything! Please someone help me solve this problem because I use iMovie on a regular basis and have SEVERAL projects open that I can't afford to remove.

  Thank you!

  Hello Jon Tompkins,

  Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

  If I understand your message that iMovie crashes when you try to open a project. I know the importance of your projects are as I like to use iMovie as well. First of all, I would like to check to see that iMovie will appear in your shopping list in the Mac App Store. If so, delete the app and then reinstall it.

  If this isn't the case, so do not delete the app. Instead, follow this link:

  OS X El Capitan: If an application crashes or closes unexpectedly

  Who also advises to test the problem in safe mode. This article includes the steps to start your MacBook Pro in safe mode:

  Try safe mode if your Mac does not end commissioning

  After having tested in safe mode, restart your Mac again and allow it to start up as usual. Then test the question again and see if it has not changed.

  Best regards

• I want desperately to upgrade Firefox to version 10 of version 9, but whenever I try, I'm stuck with FF10 control addons for comparability and opening the homepage whenever I starts the browser.

  Windows 7 64 bit
  I want desperately to upgrade Firefox to version 10 of version 9, but whenever I try, I'm stuck with FF10 control addons for compatibility and opening the homepage whenever I starts the browser. I keep having to go back to version 9 to solve this problem.

  Sorry to be a while back! It tried unsuccessfully so this AM, gritted my teeth and deleted the FF programs folder and downloaded and installed FF 10.01. He was still struggling with the same problem. Went in the appdata folder and two files sessionstore.js there. Delete both, restarted the browser and no verification of the compatibility of the modules was done at first upward and the additional tab for welcome to FF was the opening is no longer all seems to work as it should and I did not lose any of my settings... Thanks for trying to help, and I hope that my solution helps someone else who could this experience in the future. Hoping that the next update will smoother!

  You can probably get rid of it by disabling McAfee Site Advisor ending Firefox and then restarting Firefox and the reactivation of McAfee Site Advisor, ending at Firefox and restart Firefox. But it would probably be best to uninstall Site Advisor and reinstall (as opposed to the update)...

  Please see the solution in http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problematic_extensions
  "McAfee Site Advisor.

  (Windows): for best results, you need to uninstall McAfee Site Advisor from Control Panel > add/edit programs (programs and features). Restart the system. Then http://www.siteadvisor.com/ reinstalling and reboot the system. Installation of other waste (crapware) suggested applications.

• Whenever I try to open a new tab in Safari, it closes in on my previous page. How should I do so that I can have several tabs open?

  Whenever I try to open a new tab in Safari, it closes in on my previous page. How should I do so that I can have several tabs open?

  What version of OS/Safari do you use?

  Try a reboot.

  Make a backup using Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure that data files can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.

  Try to set up another admin user account to see if the same problem persists. If back to my Mac is enabled in system preferences, the guest account will not work. The intention is to see if it is specific to an account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.

  Isolate a problem by using a different user account

  If the problem is still there, try to start safe mode using your usual account.  Disconnect all devices except those necessary for the test. Shut down the computer and then put it up after a 10 second wait. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the SHIFT key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. Startup is considerably slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a check for directory and disables all start-up and connection, among other things. When you restart normally, the initial restart may be slower than normal. If the system is operating normally, there may be 3rd party applications that pose a problem. Try to delete/disable the third-party applications after a reboot using the UN-Installer. For each disable/remove, you need to restart if you do them all at once.
