For the last few weeks, after I close FF 19.0, I can't reopen it. I've resorted to having to re-install FF each time to get it to open. What to do?

For the last few weeks, every time I shut down Firefox 18 (and most recently 19.0), I cannot re-open the browser again. The application spins as if it's going to open, then stops and sits there. I've had to resort to re-installing the brower each time now, very irritating. It does recall my tabs as they had been, which I want. I used to open as many as 40-50 tabs, but now have made an effort to keep them below 20, thinking that would help it work more optimally. I'm getting weary of re-installing the browser all the time. What should I do? THANKS

By the way, your "More system details" page shows that you have two different versions of the Flash plugin. Sometimes Adobe's updater fails to remove the older version if Firefox is open at the time you run it.
To remove the older one by hand, open this folder and look for files starting with NPSWF32:
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash
You only need the latest one.

Only firefox is taking forever to open for the last few weeks

for the last few weeks, whenever i try to open firefox, it takes at least a minute to open. the process opens within a few seconds of clicking the icon, but not the window. i've watched the process (in the processes tab in task manager), and the memory usage builds very slowly. right now, firefox is open, and the memory usage is up to 115,000k. all other programs, including ie8, still open quickly, but not firefox. i have done numerous virus scans (avg, malware, spybot, hijackthis, and combofix), and they've all turned up clean. i just updated firefox from 3.6.6(?) to 3.6.9, and it didn't fix the problem.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).<br />
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems<br />
See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]]
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

Very poor 3g & 4g coverage for the last few weeks---why??

We have had VZW since cell coverage was available in north idaho, specifically zip 83841. Over the last few weeks, AT TIMES we need to go outdoor to talk, otherwise folks can't hear us. Then all of a sudden, we got a full 4 bars on EVDO & 1RX. 15 minutes later it drops to 0 bars on EVDO and 1 or 2 on 1RX. My VZW Hotspot 5510 only has 3 bars of 4g. For years we have had no problems now it's bad--or even worse than that.
Can someone point to a site or a phone number I can call to find out what is going on and report this major problem???
Thanks, Ron

To check on a service problem contact VZW tech support at 1800-988-0204. Mention the symptoms as you see them for your devices and ask if there are any issues in your area.
To better help you analyze the problem try using signal strength numbers like RSSI and perform a site survey of your area. You can also compare your RSSI numbers with a performance test from http://speedtest.net from your MiFi. The combined RSSI and stats from speedtest should help them evaluate your area and get a technician to check it out.
Site Survey:
http://3gstore.com/page/13_will_an_antenna_help_me.html
Be prepared to perform a SIM card reset or two while troubleshooting with VZW. Most of the time when dealing with performance problems a SIM card reset is the first line of defense. SIM cards are the pieces responsible for communicating with the towers in your area. Since you have two different devices able to reproduce the problem you should be able to move through the troubleshooting steps quickly.

TS1702 I have about 20 apps that seems to be frozen for the last few weeks. It says waiting on the icons. I can't get them to restart, delete or update. Any suggestions?

I have 20 apps that flashes a "waiting" sign on the icons that I have tried to update. it's now over 2 weeks and the updates haven't been completed. I have added on some new apps and they are working fine, I a not able to delete or. Reinstall those apps. Any suggestions?

Thanks too all the people who responded. . . . (noone)
Got it sorted though. Seems that Apple has issues with multiple apple id's.
Seems i had to somehow remember and use the original id i had when i first bought my 1st iPhone. . . .
Even after that it was extremely hard to get my apps back on my PC.
If anyone else has the same problem. . . .email Apple. Cya.

I have been having problems with my FaceTime for the last few weeks. Up to then I was able to use it daily and then it suddenly stopped functioning. I have 4 friends in the same situation. Is there a problem centrally with Apple? Anyone else with problems

I have been using FaceTime regularly over the past year or so and suddenly it has stopped working. It seems to dial up and says its connecting and then just switches off. I have a number of other friends who are also having problems with this and also on their iPhones. Does anyone have an answer to this problem?

Make sure all parties are running IOS 7.1.1

My iphone has been acting weird for the last few weeks... Slow apps, freezing apps, apps closing, slow texting. Now it has frozen with the white apple in the center and I can't turn it on or reset it???

Please help!!!

Restore the phone in iTunes, first using a backup, and if needed as a new phone (without using a backup). If restoring as new doesn't help, there is a hardware failure or the phone was previously hacked (jailbroken, downgraded, unauthorized unlocking).
iOS: Unable to update or restore

Get results from database for the last one week ?

Hi All,
I have to make a query for retrieving the data for the last one week from a table say "Orderdata".
So can anybody please tell me how to retrieve date of last weak from the current date. I mean if current date is 12/08/2004 (mm/dd/yyyy) then I would be needing date as :--
12/01/2004 (mm/dd/yyyy) to 12/07/2004 (mm/dd/yyyy).
To more clear, here is the query that am using :
select * from orderdata where orderdate between 12/01/2004 AND 12/07/2004
I know I would be needing java.sql.timestamp class to set date . but it is the last thing to do .
First I have to get date of last weak...........
Here is the code----------that i have just start to write ..
Calendar cal;
TimeZone tz;
String estTimezone="GMT-05:00";
tz=TimeZone.getTimeZone(estTimezone);
cal=new GregorianCalendar(tz);
cal.setTimeZone(tz);
String currentdate=String.valueOf(cal.get(Calendar.MONTH)+1);
currentdate+="/"+String.valueOf(cal.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH)-1);
currentdate+="/"+String.valueOf(cal.get(Calendar.YEAR));
out.println(currentdate);And assume if current date is 12/1/2004 (mm/dd/yyyy) then subtracting -1 form the current date will give 12/00/2004 so not getting the correct result .
Hope it is clear to all................
Please Help !

I have been working on the same numbers file for the past few weeks. The last time I opened it was 1 week ago. Today when I tried to open it I am unable and getting a message that the file is invalid and the index.xml file is missing.

I have been working on the same numbers file for the past few weeks. The last time I opened it was 1 week ago. Today when I tried to open it I am unable and getting a message that the file is invalid and the index.xml file is missing.

Hi Tracie,
I upgraded to Maverick OS X 10.9.5, numbers spreadsheet is saved. Upon re-opening, it appears to be frozen, a warning "file is invalid as index.xml file is missing". I checked, and the file is not "locked". This appears to occur only with using the new numbers app. When I open previous spreadsheets from old iWorks, no such problem occurs.
How did you resolve your problem?
Would appreciate any help here.
Thanks,

I got a new laptop (Macbook Pro) and my IPhone is synced with my previous laptop. I've recorded dozens of very long (un-emailable) Voice Memos over the last few weeks and need to get them from my IPhone onto my new laptop. How do I do this?

I got a new laptop (Macbook Pro) and my IPhone is synced with my previous laptop (which I no longer have). I've recorded dozens of very long (un-emailable) Voice Memos over the last few weeks and need to get them from my IPhone onto my new laptop.
How do I do this?
(when I click on the Sync option I get the warning: "Are you sure you want to sync music? All existing songs and playlists on the iPhone will be replaced with songs and playlists from your iTunes library." I fear that if I click this I will lose all of my important Voice Memos as well)

Just to add to what ChrisJ4203 said. You can sync them to your new computer using iTunes by selecting to Include Voice Memos on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing. However, you still need to re-establish syncing with the new computer without iTunes erasing all the iTunes media from your phone (as the warning mentioned).
If you copy your entire iTunes folder (not just your music) from your old computer to your new one, along with other non-iTunes media you may be syncing with iTunes (such as contacts, calendars and any photos synced to your phone from your old computer) by using migration assistant of following one of these methods: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527, then when you sync again with your new computer it will recognize your phone and sync as it did before. You will still have to authorize the new computer for any Apple IDs used to purchase from the iTunes and App stores (in iTunes>Store>Authorize this computer).
After that you can sync your voice memos to your computer as mentioned earlier.
If you want to archive your voice memos before you do anything with iTunes, you can use a 3rd party program such as PhoneView or Touch Copy.

I have a 1st Gen, MacBook Pro from 2006. For the last few years I've had to us my power adaptor as my battery no longer works. Now my power adaptor looks like it's coming to an end. Even though it's securely fitted, it often switches off.

I have a 1st Gen, MacBook Pro from 2006. For the last few years I've had to us my power adaptor as my battery no longer works, and shuts down after 30 seconds it. Now my power adaptor looks like it's coming to an end. Even though it's securely fitted, it often switches off.
I am planning on buying a new MacBook Pro later this year, but for the meantime I'm not sure if I should buy a new power adaptor, or if this is a problem with my MacBook Pro. Also does anyone know where I can buy a battery in the UK for 1st Gen MacBook Pro.

OWC has batteries for 1,1 generation MacBook Pros and they ship internationally - http://eshop.macsales.com/.
Your best bet for a power adapter is to get one from Apple. Third-party adapters just don't seem to be reliable (or safe). You can also buy a replacement battery directly from Apple, of course, but they're a bit more expensive.
Good luck,
Clinton

Hi, I m using an iPhone 4 and my yahoo push email was working just fine but for the last few days I am experiencing some problem that is the emails are not getting pushed , I have to manually fetch the mails.

The events of the last month have suddenly disappeared. I have opened these successfully several times during the last few weeks, but on opening them yesterday they weren't there any longer. No idea how this could have happened! Possible to retrieve ???v

The events of the last month, with the photographs have suddenly disappeared from the iPhoto Library. I have opened these successfully several times during the last few weeks, but on opening them yesterday they weren't there any longer. No idea how this could have happened! Is it possible to retrieve ???

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

For the past few weeks when I place a bid on ebay, Firefox crashes. The bid goes through but I have to restart Firefox each time. I have sent a report each time and asked to be notified and as of yet I have not got a solution to this problem.

For the past few weeks when I place a bid on ebay, Firefox crashes. The bid goes through but I have to restart Firefox each time. I have sent a report each time and asked to be notified and as of yet I have not got a solution to this problem.

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

HT1766 I usually have iCloud backup but I got a notification that my phone has not backed up for the last two weeks, and It wont let me do it manually. Why did it all of a sudden stop backing up?

I usually have iCloud backup but I got a notification that my phone has not backed up for the last two weeks, and It wont let me do it manually.There is also still enough storage space. Why did it all of a sudden stop backing up?

The HT1766 article you attached lists the prerequisites for an iCloud backup:
iCloud automatically backs up the most important data on your device using iOS 5 or later. After you have enabled Backup on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch in Settings > iCloud > Backup & Storage, it will run on a daily basis as long as your device is:
Connected to the Internet over Wi-Fi
Connected to a power source
Screen locked
You can also back up manually whenever your device is connected to the Internet over Wi-Fi by choosing Back Up Now from Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup.

I have been having MAJOR issues for the last few months:
1.) My iTunes keeps shutting down on me, after 5-10 minutes of being opened and starting updates, or if I play music. I restart iTunes and it just does it over and over again.
2.) I have homesahring ON on both my desktop PC and my AppleTV 2nd gen, but my AppleTV cannot access the computer. I have restarted and reset both PC and AppleTV over and over, but still no luck.
Any suggestions?

Only that you may wish to resolve issue 1 before looking at #2. The best forum for that would be the iTunes for windows community.

For the last few weeks, after I close FF 19.0, I can't reopen it. I've resorted to having to re-install FF each time to get it to open. What to do?
