    In Entourage, all the incoming mails are doubled. How can I fix this?

    Entourage is not an Apple product and there are very few users Entourage here. I do part, but never encountered the problem you describe. You the best chance for a quick resolution is to post your question forums Office: Mac from Microsoft here:

    Office for Mac

    Everyone he's a Mac user AND a user desktop, something you can't say about Apple forums. You will get the quickest help there and I think you'll find contributors more useful.

  • Lately on the Web, pdf files are not correctly; What is the problem and how can I fix this so I don't have to use IE?

    I am a teacher and often need to open the PDF files of academic electronic databases of journal articles. In the last two or three weeks, when I try to do it using Firefox, only the first page of the pdf display and the rest are empty. In addition, a bar appears in the upper part with the message "this pdf file cannot be displayed properly." So I had to switch to Internet Explorer to open files and do my research. What happens and how can I fix this problem so that you can open PDFs from the Web in Firefox and ask them to work correctly?

    Hello, firefox 19 introduced its own Viewer integrated pdf - if you want to switch it to the plugin you used before displaying a PDF file just go to the firefox options > applications and scroll down and set the default action for the portable document (pdf) format.

  • I keep trying to change my cookies setting, but as soon as I close out, he return to the previous settings. How can I fix this so that making the changes will stay?

    I followed the instructions to change my settings of cookies, but whenever I click on OK and close out he returns to previous setting recall the story. How can I fix this so that the parameters iI choose will stay?

    That's ok.

    Firefox shows that the 'use the settings customized for history' if at least a history and cookie setting is not the default to make you aware that the changes have been made.

    If all the history settings are the defaults, the custom settings are hidden and see you "conservation rules: (never) don't forget history."

    "Never remember history" means that private browsing is active and "Always use private browsing mode" Gets a check mark.

    The default cookie settings mean that all cookies are enabled.

    Have you checked exceptions to make sure you aren't blocking cookies?

  • I can't open my pictures folder. Error message says I don't have permission! I ran disk utility and found no errors. How this could have happened and how can I fix this problem? I'm the only user.

    Suddenly, I can longer open my pictures folder. I tried to move a picture to the folder to see what is happening and received an error message saying I was not allowed to display the contents of the folder and if I move the picture here, I won't be able to see. I ran disk utility and found no permissions error.

    How this could have happened and how can I fix this problem? I'm the only user. No one else has ever physical access to my computer. However, I sign up for Skyhub a few weeks ago and copied the contents of my Macbook it. Since then, a "Remote disk" icon on my hard drive. This would be part of the problem?

    Select it, choose get the information on the file menu, open the section sharing and permissions and give you access.

    What version of the operating system is running on your computer? Windows Version 5.1

    What browser do you use? Windows Live - Windows Internet Explorer 7

    ·          When the issue started?

    ·          Only happens when you connect to Facebook?

    As best I can answer: error signature when facebook freezes

    szAppName: iexplore.exe szAppVer:8.0.6001.18372 szMacName:hugapp szModVer: 0.0.0. offset: 00000
    He started several days ago and Yes Facebook is the only program that freezes.

    I think 5.1 means that you're running XP, but what Home or Pro version?
    You specify using IE7, but I think that the error message refers to IE 8. You have it improved recently?

    How many times you run a program that cleans ALL accumulated cookies? Not only the option in Windows XP which doesn't seem to work for them all. Try Ccleaner.com, it's free and works well!
    Just need to have all your browser windows closed when you run part of the cleaner. Restart and try to sign Fb.
    If surfing a lot, is recommended to clean/remove cookies on a DAILY basis.

    How can I fix this error msg? your default printer must support a minimum resolution of 300 x 300 to use the shape tool. I am trying to save in PDF format.

    When you have what you want to save the selected PDF file, make sure that you press properties, and set the resolution in the settings.  PDF files themselves have quality settings, (print quality, Web quality etc) then make sure that you have the right to a game if you plan to use the "print" function to save in PDF format.
