Firefox is in the taskbar, but won't launch. (after having issues with a wireless printer install)
Installed a new wireless printer on my home network. the two desktops running XP-SP2 are fine, but it made a complete mess of my Toshiba laptop, running Windows7.
knocked out the network, disabled my wireless adaptor, turned off the wireless on the laptop and also disabled my Avast anti virus.
Got the wireless enabled on the laptop, recovered and upgraded the anti virus program and got the network connected again.
Can use Explorer, but Firefox will not launch, either from the taskbar or from Start/programs. /they are there, but will not launch.
There may be a corrupted file on Firefox.<br>
Please attempt to perform a clean reinstall. <sup>[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/forum-response-clean-reinstall (More Details)]</sup> This is different than a regular uninstall.
If a clean reinstall does not fix the issue, please try starting your operating system in safe mode.<br>
To do so, please do the following:
#Ensure that your computer is shut down completely
#Press the power button
#Tap the <code>F8</code> key repeatedly before the Windows logo and startup screen is displayed
#Select Safe Mode With Networking for the advanced startup options list
Please report back with the results of both solutions.

When I have my Firefox browser running, if I bring up a document from my computer, it appears briefly, then disappears behind the browser. It shows in the taskbar, but won't stay on top until I minimize all other windows.
Hi NicoMan,
According to your description ,we seem to suffer a performance issue here.
Have you tried to open the task manager to check the system performance ? Is there any specific process occupied many system resources ?Will the issue occur only with the specific applications ?
We can try to restart the Windows Explorer process to have a check.
If it only occurred with the spefcific two applications ,we can try to end the other application processes manually from the task manager to have a check .
If this is caused by the specific application ,we may need to look for help from the third party support considering they are all the third party applications .
Best regards

2.1 for iTouch now , but not 4 iPhone? Having issues with the 2.1 iTouch!!
So I hope the 2.1 experience I am having with my iTouch, isn't a foreshadow of what is going to happen to me Friday?
iTouch is bombing out & not restoring, but before that I was getting a message I needed iTunes 7.7.1 (which I have) then it was not able to update to 2.1 on the iTouch. Maybe it's a good thing I have to wait till Friday, my iPhone I need for work, my iTouch is a toy. "Bricking" it I can wait on Apple, "Bricking" my iPhone customers can't call me...

Sadly, I would bet money that it is. I know I'll be holding off the iPhone upgrade until I see how many phones it bricks.
I, too, am having trouble with the touch update. It says I have an update available, but when I click the iTunes8 update button, I get the error message
There was a problem downloading the iPod software for the iPod "J's 32GB iPod touch". The requested resource was not found.
I guess I should look on the bright side - better a download that won't than an iPod that won't. -
I have a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.9.4 (Maverick) and am trying to add Rosetta Stone Latin Am Spanish to this laptop, after having successfully installed it several years ago on a older MBP.
I was given the latest download file TOTALe 4.5.5 by Rosetta Stone Support for this purpose. It will install fine and work, immediately upon installation, but when I shut down and restart, I can no longer launch the program and get the Fatal Application Error 1141 code instead.
I have been through this issue many, many times with Rosetta Stone Support already and have followed, alone and with them, the troubleshooting link set up for this problem without success. (Here is the link: https://rosettastone.secure.force.com/en/language-learning/articles/Error-1141-a ppears-when-I-start-the-Rosetta-Stone-TOTALe-application#macdiv) Rosetta Stone has run out of ideas to resolve this issue. (I have saved about 10 chat session transcripts where the support people have me run through the same steps over and over, despite my informing them of the previous lack of success in following these steps.)
My OS X is up to date. I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem running Maverick.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. This is a relatively new MBP and the only add-on software other than Rosetta Stone is Microsoft Office.I have the same problem. Back in 2011 I bought Rosetta and got the very same problem, talked and talked to their support to no avail. On that instance they returned my purchase money. This time around I asked beforehand if the software was totally compatible with Yosemite and they said yes. I just got it, tried to unit and got error 1141 again. It is very frustrating! I will talk to them again but my hopes are very low. I guess one needs to understand that the software is crap!

Am I the only one (still...) having issues with Bluetooth after upgrading to iOS 8.1...?
Hi fellas,
I guess my expectation level was way too high regarding this upgrade from iOS 8.0.2 to 8.1: my iPhone 6 still can't connect to Bluetooth peripherals, whatever they may be...
I have a MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard, and a PC with Windows 8.1 update on it, and none of them can pair with the iPhone, no matter how hard I try.
Have you guys found workaround measures or (hopefully) solutions?
I swore today was my last day going to work with the crappy Apple-issue headphones that came with the phone, and I'd pack my faithful Sony Ericsson BT to work tomorrow...Your english is very good! For Handoff/Continuity to work you need Bluetooth turned on on both devices and they need to be in range of each other -- but you do NOT go to the Bluetooth setting on either device and pair them. I know that is unusual and can think of no other case where that is done using Bluetooth, but that is how it works for Handoff & Continuity.
The following are the other things needed from Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity
How to get started:
Sign in to the same iCloud account on all your devices.
Turn on Bluetooth on all the devices you want to use. Make sure your devices are near each other.
Connect all your devices to the same Wi-Fi network.
Turn off Handoff
To turn off Handoff on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, go to Settings > General > Handoff & Suggested Apps, and turn off the setting.
On your Mac, go to System Preferences > General and deselect the option to allow Handoff.
Phone calls
With Continuity, you can make and receive cellular phone calls from your iPad, iPod touch, or Mac when your iPhone is on the same Wi-Fi network.
To make and receive phone calls, here's what you need:
Sign in to the same iCloud account on all your devices, including your Mac.
Your iPhone and your iPad or iPod touch need to use iOS 8 or later. Your Mac needs to use OS X Yosemite.
All devices must be on the same Wi-Fi network.
All devices must be signed in to FaceTime using the same iCloud account. This means any device that shares your Apple ID will get your phone calls. Look below for instructions on how to turn off iPhone cellular calls.
Wi-Fi Calling needs to be off. Go to Settings > Phone. If you see Wi-Fi Calling, turn it off. -
I have a one group of tabs stuck in the taskbar, it won't open.
I had 2 groups of tabs. One group opens & works, but the other is stuck in the taskbar. i can click it, or right click & then Restore, but the window containing that group of tabs won't open. The other group works fine. I have exited Firefox, then restarted Firefox (15.0.1) same thing, there in the taskbar, but won't open. Also restarted Window Vista, then Firefox to no avail. Any ideas?
Well I'll be, I right clicked the group on the taskbar& then hit maximize, which worked. I've been using group tabs for awhile, never had to do that before.

Firefox remains minimized on taskbar and won't open or maximize
Solution found:
I solved the issue of "Firefox remains minimized on taskbar and won't open or maximize" and tried to post a reply but it said the thread is closed.I press alt tab until the firefox minimized icon on the task bar is highlighted and then press winkey [uparrow] ... this maximizes selected minimized windows. This only seems to work if using alt-tab to select the window. When clicking with the mouse, it doesn't seem to work.Good luck!It was driving me nuts!

Upon a fresh reboot the Firefox icon in the Taskbar will not work on the first click, sometimes it will not work at all and I need to go to Start-> then click the Firefox icon in the Start menu. Why is it that the icon won't start up on the first click?
Same issue - however firefox will open but I can not click on only of my tool bar shortcuts - the writing on the google age is greyed out so I can not click on anything. Still no resolution? I have deleted the folders and re-installed - it will open and then locks and it will not work????

Why can't I install a Firefox Icon on the TASKBAR?
It would be useful to have a Firefox icon on my Taskbar, but I can't install one.
Firefox 5 can block popups itself. If the popups are ads, you can block them with Adblock Plus with an Easylist subscription.

Acrobat 8 shows in the dock but won't open
I have a new installation of Acrobat Pro, along with PS5. Computer is a mac w/snow leopard. Question is Acrobat 8 shows in the dock but won't open - says PS must be open for it to work - but PS is open(and functioning fine). So how do I get Acrobat working?
ThanksI opened an earlier version of a CS program (Illustrator 3). Acrobat seemed to find what it needed and opened. It now opens normally - even with CS3 applications closed.

I have Windows 7 Professional and I used to be able to move the curser over the Firefox Icon in the taskbar and it would show me a telescoped view of all open tabs, now it just shows the tab that I'm currently viewing. How do I fix this?
Hey MikeDo,
Do you have the option checked for ''Show Tab Previews in the Windows Taskbar''? If not, just go to ''tools->options->tabs.'' You can find more information on what each of these settings do in the Knowledge Base article [[Options window - Tabs panel]].
Hopefully this helps! -
When I ask Siri to play a song it goes to the song but won't play the song
when I ask Siri to play a song it goes to the song but won't play the song. The song shows when I open the music app, but the bar does not move and there is no sound. Even if I hit pause then play nothing happens. If I go back to the playlists and select another playlist or song then music plays.
After doing and changing EVERYTHING on that page, I ended up re-installing Quicktime by itself and finally that solved the problem. Thank you for the advice page though, it had a lot of good information on it that related to my problem.
