If a want to download a file with safari or firefox on my macbook, then I have to click on the link with my "right mouse button" and click on "download linked file" to download the file.
Normally I had to click on the link and the download started automaticaly.
How can I change this again?
I recently loaded Lion on my Imac. I have listed two programs for automatic log-on. But 3 other apps automatically log-on as well (Firefox, Mail, Word), even though they are not on the auto log-on list at all. How do I preven them from logging on when I start the computer?

A couple of nights ago I set my iMac G3 (Blueberry) to stop automatic login at start up and put it to sleep. I did this because I didn't want my kids on the web in the middle of the night while I was sleeping. When morning comes, the computer is off. I try to start it but it won't turn over. When I push the on button, the button flashes on for a split second and I hear the crackle of static as if the computer is starting, but nothing happens after that. I tried plugging and unplugging the computer, but nothing helps.
It's like a car that won't turn over.
Bought a new iMac in January, have a problem with the screen saver not coming on automatically after working okay for maybe three or four days. Have had about six calls and spent many hours with Apple techs. We get things working and then after a few days the hot corners won't hold, the screen saver won't come on automatically and the computer doesn't go to sleep as set up. If I manually put it to sleep it doesn't stay asleep for very long. Shutting down or a safe boot, will make it work right again.

When booting, after Login, finder is continously starting and quitting, never showing any desktop icons or sth. like that.
Issue appeared after installing new Safari Update. -> deleted hdd, overwritten with nulls -> recovered with time machine backup (i had serveral some small other issues, and thought it would be a good idea) (Tried two different backups, one even 2 months old, when this issue surely doesn't came up, but had the same problem) repaired permissions, repaired hdd without problems from leo dvd.
So I'm seriously enjoying my "new" BlackBook, but I'm having a bit of an issue. Sometimes after shutting it down, it doesn't want to start back up. I know that it's going to happen if I plug in the MagSafe connector and the light immediately turns bright green. The only way I've found to fix this is to take out the (non-functional) battery, let it sit for a minute or two, and then plug the connector back in. This always makes it work.
If the LED on the connector turns a very dark (or dim) green, and then turns bright green, I know it's going to work fine. I believe I've tried an SMC reset and it doesn't seem to work. Any ideas on what the issue could be? Since my battery doesn't work (and I'm suspecting that the faulty battery is part of the issue) I am often turning on and off the computer to move from one place to another. I'm getting a new battery soon, but I just don't have the funds for it right now.

Series of events: I connected external drives for the first time in Apple Bootcamp/Windows. They did not mount and Windows froze whenever I connected the drives. I tried it a few times, each time using the power button for turning the computer off. After a couple of trials the screen color was very weird (psychedelic) and I noticed that the computer had gotten hot (in Windows my fans don't work as they should) and I restarted the in OSX 10.4. The psychedelic colors were still present and the temperature reading was 71 degrees (smc control software). Searching forums in a panic that I might have fried my video card partially I found and followed a description on how to change the screen from "color" to "grey" under System Preferences>Universal access. This did not help as the psychedelic color/pixelness still persisted. Even worse, when I restarted the computer, the above mentioned problem occured (not getting the proper desktop, I can't run any application or shut the computer down, it always tries to reload the desktop after a couple of seconds). What I tried so far: -I resetted the PRAM using the Command, Option, P, and R keys and waiting for two additional startup sounds. Result: the psychedelic color is gone, it looks normal. But still cycles between grey and color during the desktop stall.-I repaired my startup disk with the OSX installation disk...no repairs were necessary -I repaired permissions with the installation disk...lots of repairs were made, but no success upon reboot -I started the computer in safe mode...result: I don't get past the password screen. As soon as I enter the password it asks me for it again.

my DVD Player doesn't start anymore. Along with some other applications(iChat, iCal, Expose, Automator) it all of a sudden is only displayed with the default application icon - the thing with the ruler and the brush and stuff.
The other applications seem to work fine except of the wrong icon thing.
When I try to start my DVD Player a popup comes up that says in bold letters ?? and underneath that ??10.

I purchased Lion at the App Store. I hit Download, it goes grey for about 3 seconds, then "Download" shows again. I get no progress bar. It appears to be locked up for some reason and won't start the download. Lion is listed in my Purchases, so the purchase appears to have gone OK. It just won't start the download. I am running OS 10.6.8, on a 2x2.4GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon.
I dragged the following to the trash:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.appstore.plist
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.storeagent.plist
~/Caches/com.apple.appstore
~/Caches/com.apple.storeagent
Maybe it thinks I have already downloaded but I can't find it in my Downloads, and the "Download" button would not be there if it thought this.

have a early 2011 MBP running OSX Mavericks. I use my mac everyday both at home and school. This morning when I opened the mac, the screen was frozen. I simply restarted the mac, and it doesn't go beyond showing a prohibitory sign. I have tried many things..Â
1. Restarted the mac, while holding the Option key (selected Recovery HD), after waiting for nearly 10 mins, the system loaded into recovery disk ( but the twist was, in the disk utility, my SSD was not found/shown)Â
2. Then thought the SSD was dead.. So asked the IT guy to see if he can retrieve the data (removed SSD out of the mac and he used an external hard drive enclosure and the SSD was instantly recognized, saved the data). Here I did two things
   A. First, asked my friend if I could mount his SSD in my Mac and see if the system starts. Even using a different SSD, my mac still showed the prohibitory sign.
   B. Then l installed my SSD into his Mac.. System booted as normal (basically it was all there, but on his Mac)Â
3. So ruled out that my SSD was faulty. Then using the internet based Apple Hardware Test (AHT), I found no troubles with any of the mac components.Â
At this point, I don't understand what is causing my Mac not to go beyond the prohibitory sign? Could it be something as silly as the internal hard drive cable or something more complicated as the logic board? In which case, they should have been detected during the AHT?Â

I am most certain that this is the case: foolishly, I didnt leave much free space and now the disk doesnt want to mount. I tried the single user mode, I also booted from DVD, they appear but the disk utility shows the disk but I cannot repair the disk, because it is unmounted. I tried the basic commands in single user mode, no effect either. I still cant get over the blue screen with the apple logo and a circle running. I need to free up some spasce. Unforetunately, important files were not backedup, so I really cant delete the whole disk. I need to delete specific files.  I dont know where are my big files located - so, how do I orientate myself among the folders? Lets say I would delete my itunes libary, which I would later on renew thanks to the back/up, how would I delete them?Â

Macbook Pro running Lion V 10.7.4Â .After a hard drive failure this weekend, I restored frm my most recent backup.Unfortunately this did not include svn, host file changes and some other fairly easy to correct things.The one that has been giving me trouble for the last 8 hours is mysql. I have gone through and removed mysql (multiple times) and did fresh installs. Each time I was getting the error:Â
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (38)Â
Even after changing my /etc/my.cnf file to point to var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock I would get these errors. Â
Are there multiple locations where mysql points to /tmp/mysql.sock? Â
I am at a loss of what to do. I have uninstalled reeinstalled. Tried many different solutions all to reeive the same error.Â
