Why tabs, windows and sometimes ignore the shortcut keyboard (CMD + W)? I keep having to go into file > close tab

Tabs in Firefox seem to ignore my orders sometimes seemingly random. Perhaps even more so when the tab contains a video, although I could be wrong.

I use a 13-inch, mid 2009 Macbook Pro installed OSX 10.10.2 (the latest build), but this also happens on 17 inches from my father-in-law, Early - 2008 Macbook Pro as well.

If a plugin like Flash has focus, then the plugin gets all keys and you have to click outside the plugin to remove the development of the plugin and make the keyboard work again.
I don't think that protected by Flash mode applies to Mac.

On a Mac, you may also be unable to move to HTML5 media as an alternative player, because with this drive will work the keyboard shortcuts.

    original title: after reinstallation of Vista (32 bit), I found myself with Windows and most of the stuff on the disk 1 (c), but with stuff on the disk 2 (d). It's hard to backup.

    I wish all the disk 0, which is 250 GB, leaving the 1 free 500 GB disc to have been the repository of backup and archiving of others.  But I don't want to have to reinstall everything.  I couldn't move bootmgr, BOOTSECT. BAK and 'boot' folder on the disk 1 (c) by somehow the system partition?  Then there would be no OS stuff on disk 0 (D :); back, but better than mixed.)  What happens if I disconnect physically the smallest disk, Startup Repair will make the disc with Windows boot and system partitions? Thank you.

  • Is it possible to have the photograph for $9.99 package and sometimes add the unique program of $29.99 every so often?

    Years, I had the complete package and pay $55 / month. However, my job has changed and I barely use as many programs as I did so I was throwing a lot of money for something I don't need. All I really need is Photoshop, Lightroom and occasionally Flash or AE. It is rare that I use Flash and AE these days but it is launched once in a Blue Moon so I wouldn't cut them completely. I was wondering if it is possible to have 2 plans to go. Have the plan of $9.99 ongoing photography and sometimes add the single $ 29.99 program, when I need one of the other two?

    Also, if I switch my package is the switch without welding or do I need to re - install these programs? I lose information or settings in my current programs of the PS or LR?

    Thanks in advance for the help

    What I want to know and have asked above, is whether it is possible to have both the package being photography (annual plan of $ 9.99 / month) AND add a monthly (monthly plan of $ 29.99 / month) whenever I need for a month here and there.

    In other words... is it possible to have 2 packages running at any given time?

    Yes.

    You can subscribe to the Plan of photography (12 month contract) + unique App (monthly) at the same time on the same Adobe ID. It's going to be two separate monthly fees when you run the monthly Plan of single App too.

    You can pay for the monthly as Plan and when you want for a month at a time to the higher rate than a 12 month contract.

  • Satellite Pro A100 - how to activate the shortcut keyboard-support on Vista?

    Hello. I've recently updated my satellite pro a100-828 to windows vista, and things work well to a large extent with two exceptions:

    1. I can't figure out how to activate the shortcut keyboard-support: media-keys to the left and the fn keys do nothing. There seems to be no shortcut keyboard-utility for windows vista in the drivers * tion. So what to do?
    2. the standby electricity utility is not available, which is good because of the power saver new vista. Except that I can't dim the screen, so the battery does not last me too long. How can I do this?

    Thanks in advance
    Best regards

  • CTRL + SHIFT + T doesn't work anymore, I tried it on Windows and Ubuntu. The other shortcuts work fine.

    CTRL + SHIFT + T doesn't work anymore, I tried it on Windows and Ubuntu. If I go to history > recently closed tabs and click on something, it works, it's just the keyboard shortcut that broke. The other tabs keys work fine.

    Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.

    See basic troubleshooting: make a new profile:

    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "tools > Modules > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.

    If this new profile works then you can transfer files from the old profile to the new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

  • A lot of pop-up windows and sticking in the browser behavior

    Have weird ads via safari and chrome. A lot of popup displays in any browser and also a few become clickable buttons disabled and typing becomes almost impossible through any program that uses the web. When you are not running any browser, everything works perfectly fine.

    Recently, my brother was received by an irritating contextual advertising on his Mac. I guided through the steps to remove, so I'll repeat it here.

    Pop-up ads are advertisements that open above or below the window of your browser, in another tab, or as a graphic element in the current window. Sometimes they refuse to leave the same when you try to close.

    If these ads appear, DO NOT give type of important information about your Apple ID, credit cards, etc. If an ad does not close, it's almost certainly a scam after your money.

    To get rid of adware, begin by closing pop-ups that are open. If a window pop up on your Mac includes a checkbox "don't show alerts more since this Web page", check the box before you close the pop-up window. If a window closes (like in the case of my brother) close Safari on

    your Mac.

    Restart the web browser on your Mac that you hold down the SHIFT key. This prevents the reopening Safari automatically all the windows.

    Then, choose Preferences from the Safari menu, and then follow these steps:

    • Click on the security icon, and select "Block pop-up windows" to stop certain types of pop-ups.
    • Check the settings of your homepage and search engine. Sometimes adware changes these settings.
    • Click the general icon and make sure the homepage field is empty or contains the Web site you want.
    • Click on the search icon and make sure that the setting of search engine displays your favorite search engine. In some versions of Safari, this parameter is in the general pane.

    If you still have problems, or just want to check your Mac occasionally for adware - download app in sandbox "Dr. Safetry" in the App Store. It's free for domestic use clean adware, in addition to malware including trojans.

  • After upgrading from Vista created a new documents folder and now ignores the original

    Last week I updated my computer (which I believe has an update of the graphics card and some windows stuff) using Windows update and left while he was closing. I guess what he finished close, but as I was leaving for the weekend, I can't be 100% sure and this weekend my house loses power at least once.

    As for the problem, at windows startup today made first time setup that works normally when you connect to a user account for the first time. Applications of Sidebar by default loading, the default value of the user interface (that I don't use, so it was the first sign), and I found that on the opera opening, all my favorites and settings were gone.

    At the opening of my documents, I found that they were completely empty of content, including all hidden folders where all of my settings the user should be.

    Navigation around the computer, I find that this will C:\Users\USERNAME\ my documents are still intact, but are ignored, with all the shortcuts leading to my documents redirect me to the 'new' documents folder, which means that for all purposes useful all my user settings for all programs that store data in the documents have been reset.

    Maybe someone has an idea of what may have caused this?  Personally, it's one of the strangest bug I've ever seen in any version of windows, and I'm not sure how I should go to deal with it.

    Update:

    To check the path of the 'new' documents folder, it appears as C:\Users\TEMP

    This means at least all of my original documents folder has not been deleted, but I'm trying to support everything up to an external drive where vista decided to replace my old documents folder entirely.

    Hello

    You can perform a restore of the system on the computer to restore the previous settings again.

    Note: When you perform the system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

    For more information follow the link below.

  • Action sometimes ignores the isolation mode

    I created an action to create this shadow effect:

    Untitled-3-02.png

    This action is to create a compound path, and then go into isolation mode. When I created the action first everything went well. However, I have illustrator to close and reopen the action ignores the isolation mode and the action breaks a little.

    But it's the really odd thing; If I go through the action one step at a time manually by clicking on each of them slowly it works again. Then I can play the action automatically without any problem.

    If you want to try the action yourself here is a download link, that I will stay active for a while

    Dropbox - Long Shadows.aia

    To me, this seems to be a bug. However, it's really frustrating.

    Is there a work around at all, or a solution to why he does this?

    I just tried your action in AI CS 5 and it worked as expected (assumed I did not properly understand your instructions).

    But this does not mean that it is not a problem. Today, the actions of Illustrator can be quite unreliable. Often, certain steps are simply ignored and remove certain steps when to stop smoking and to revive the program is a known problem.

    Sorry to not be more constructive. One thing, you can always try is to decrease the speed of reading back to the action. Sometimes, it helps.

    Hello, it is likely that there is an invalid extension installed on Firefox. Can you please try to start Firefox in Mode safe and then see if you experience the problem

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most of the modules.

    (If you use it, switch to the default theme).

    • Under Windows, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key option key when starting Firefox.
    • Under Linux, you can open Firefox 4.0 + with leaving Firefox then go to your Terminal and running Safe Mode: firefox-safe-mode (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)
    • Or open the Help menu and click on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item while Firefox is running.

    Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "

    If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. To do this, please follow article Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems .

  • Computer saying non-genuine windows, and validation of the needs

    I bought my computer from PC World in 2008 with Windows Vista Home Premium installed. After four years, it is not authentic saying of Windows and requires validation. Unfortunately, the label on the bottom of my computer is unreadable and I don't have the box in which I bought it so did not not the Validation Code of the product. I recently had the computer repaired in a store of the local computer. This could be the reason for the message?

    Thanks for any help you can give me.

    Your problem is that, for some reason, the system is unable to properly read the table SLIC in BIOS, what is required in order to triggered the key OEM_SLP with which the computer came installed.

    The normal solution is to change the key for that on your COA sticker - but you say that you are unable to read the key here.

    In such circumstances, are the only things you can do

    (1) Re-create the license store - in which case it's a minor software problem causing the is

    2) try to update BIOS to the latest available Vista compatible one, since the manufacturer's website

    (3) contact the manufacturer and see if they can provide assistance to correct the SLIC table

    (4) a reformat and reinstall using the manufacturer's recovery media

    (5) purchase of a new license for Windows (or a new computer)

    Since it is a 'new' installation, the problem is obviously not #1

    #2 is a possibility--but a rare

    #3 is a possibility and worth a try (but can cost $$)

    #4 you seem to have already tried.

    #5 is the option of last resort. (it costs money!)

    It * may * be an alternative solution, if you are patient and persistent.

    Attempt to activate by phone and speak to an operator - they will tell you that your current key is locked (they then seek confirmation of your product key). Explain your problem, you must change the key of your sticker, but the thumbnail is unreadable (they could please provide a replacement key?). If all goes well, they will request documentary proof of the sticker, in the form of an e-mail with a picture of the affected tile - and you can proceed from there.

    It sometimes takes two or three calls before you get an operator who knows and uses this procedure, but I know that it is possible and happens.
