I get a "not responding" message when changing websites or webpages.

When I change to a different web site, or go to a different page withing a website very often in the upper left corner of my screen I see the message "Firefox is not responding" and my computer freezes up for a few seconds. Sometimes it freezes up for 30 seconds. This is extremely annoying. This happens quite frequently. I have tried re-installing Firefox, but the problem is still there.

Using McAfee?

I get constant "Not Responding" messages and Thunderbird freezes. I've done everything suggested on this forum. Nothing helps.

I've done everything I can find in this forum - using Safe mode, changing McAfee settings, etc., etc., etc. I downloaded Thunderbird again and reinstalled it. Nothing helps. I can look at one email but if I try to delete it I get the "Not responding" message. If I try to go to the next message I get the "not responding" message. If I try to do anything while the screen is frozen, it goes grey and I get the "not responding" message. Short of changing my email viewer, is there anyway I can fix it.

I have this problem too and it is EXTREMELY frustrating!!!

I get a (Not Responding) msg when I open iTunes

I get a (Not Responding) msg when I open iTunes. Should I re=instal iTunes and if so, how, without loosing all my songs. Do I need to uninstal first?? Thankyou in anticipation..

Go to http://www.apple.com/itunes/download and download the latest copy of iTunes from there.

Keep getting a "not responding" message. It's getting worse by the day. Nothing seems to work, including resetting.

I've been getting this message for weeks now. And this is the 3rd time I've asked for help with this and nothing is working. I'm thinking about jumping ship back to Internet Explorer. Can't believe I'm saying this since I've been with you guys for years now. Can anyone PLEASE help? Keep getting this damn "not responding" message.

'Not Responding' message when saving in CS5

Today is the first time i've had the chance to take my new CS5 illustrator out for a drive, and have found that more often than not, when I save the file i'm working on I get the 'Not Responding' error message appear. My system is a brand new Dell quad core, Q955- @ 2.83GHz with 8 GB RAM running Win7 64 bit.
The files i'm using are located on a network drive, and i'm wondering if this may be the problem. If i leave it go for a minute or two it rectified itself, but I find it a bit strange considering the software and hardware i'm running.
Any ideas where to start?

Since disconnecting the persistent mapped network drive, my issue has gone away. So far so good.
To clarify my issue, I was intermittently seeing a 'Not Responding' message in the title bar of Adobe Illustrator CS5 when attempting to Save a drawing. Clicking File/Save would immediately show a wait cursor (blue circle in Windows 7) and the Save dialog box would not appear.
Although the 'Not Responding' error would appear, my PC did not seem to be busy doing anything (no CPU usage for the AI executable in Task Manager).
After doing some research on Google for hung applications in Windows 7 when Saving, I came across the following Microsoft link:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/313937
According to Microsoft, Windows 7, when Saving, first checks the availability of network resources (liked persistent mapped drives). Applications like MS Office can hang when attempting to Save if these network resources are not available. Windows 7 also does not seem to "get along" well with older versions of Windows (like Windows 2000 for example). The hung when saving issue can also be caused by a slow network connection to network resources.
In my case, I had:
1 - A slow link between the hung Windows 7 PC and a persistent (ie - reconnects at logon) mapped network drive.
2 - The network drive is also hosted on a Windows 2000 server (Windows 7 doesn't always play nice with Win2K)
After disabling the group policy that mapped this drive at logon time, my hung AI issue went away. I can still reach the drive through a shortcut on the desktop of the Win7 PC and that seems to work out fine. It was only when this resource was "mapped" as a shared drive that this became an issue for Windows 7.
Anyone having this issue should also check the possibility of losing your network connection to a shared resource (like the network card going into sleep mode due to power save options and thus breaking the connection to the network).
Hope this helps others.

I keep getting a "not delivered" message when I try to send a picture through imessage

Over the last week each time I sent a picture in iMessage it goes out then I get a "Not Delivered" message. The other person gets the picture even though it says not delivered. I've shut iMessage off then back on, I've done a hard shutdown/restart. I'm not sure what else to do. Is anyone else having this issue and been able to resolve it?
Thank you!

How do you fix apple errors that come up when you try to open iTunes?

After my windows 7 computer did automatic updates, everytime I click on a link I get a not responding message and have to wait almost a minute for the program to continue.

Last night, my computer running Windows 7 premium home edition downloaded some automatic updates. I came in this morning to find that it had done a restart after adding these updates.
Now, anytime I click a link or do something which requires a redirect to another web page, my program gives me the not responding message and I have to wait 30-55 seconds for the program to continue.
I have Firefox 4 and it was running smoothly up until this morning, so I can only assume that whatever the automatic updates were, there is something in them that is causing this error. I do not know what updates were installed.

I don't have that problem in Firefox 29 when I read Gmail or AOL (aim''.''com) webmail. When I click on a webpage link in an email I'm reading (example: http://www.tworivertheater.org/ ) the link opens in a separate Firefox tab.
Are you saying this doesn't happen in outlook''.''com webmail and the link opens in the same Firefox tab as the email itself? I don't use outlook''.''com webmail myself. Hopefully someone will be along who does, or see [[Problems with email and how to find help]].
It might help if you would confirm the type of link that is opening in the same tab as the email you are reading in your outlook webmail. If I misunderstood your problem, please explain it better.
It might also help if you could furhish more troubleshooting information. Please do the following:
*'''For Firefox 29.0 and above''': Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Troubleshooting Information''.
Now, a new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
*At the top of the page, you should see a button that says "Copy text to clipboard". Click it.
*Now, go back to your forum post and click inside the reply box. Press Ctrl+V to paste all the information you copied into the forum post.
If you need further information about the Troubleshooting information page, please read the article [[Use the Troubleshooting Information page to help fix Firefox issues]].

Firefox continually gives me a "not responding" message when I try to do anything

'''bold text'''A couple of days ago I upgraded to Firefox 4.0. Beginning yesterday, Firefox opens very slowly if at all and then gives me a "not responding" message if I try to do anything. I am running Windows 7

I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
Power-up your computer(s).
If the above steps do not solve the problem, start over with step 1 above, but then perform the next steps between steps 1 & 2. above.
Disconnect the AirPort base station from the Internet broadband modem.
While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref:Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
Reconnect the AirPort base station to the Internet broadband modem. For the Extreme and Time Capsule, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
Continue with step 2 in the first set of steps.
In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results.

Why do people using other brands of smart phones get a "not available" message when they try to view vids that I made on my iPhone 4s?

I made a video on my iPhone 4S and e-mailed to another party to view. The other party told me he could not view it. He said he got a "not available" message when trying to view it. Next I sent the video to him in a text message. He had the same problem again.

I have the same exact problem. let me know if you figured anything out

When emailing from iPhoto I keep on getting 'server not responded' message.

Would anyone be able to help with the issue I have with iPhoto. Every time I try to email photos directly from iPhoto I get this message 'server not responded'. I have the lates Mountain Lion OSX installed on MBA. Also, in addition to iCloud account I tried to add two more email accounts to iPhoto hoping that this might solve the problem, but it didn't. Would anyone have any ideas what I might be doing wrong?
Thank you.

Marius,
set the mailer in the iPhoto Preferences to "Mail.app", not to "iPhoto"
iPhoto > Preferences > General
Email Photos using: Mail
This way you will be able to mail your photos directly from iPhoto, but you cannot use the iPhoto cards; use the Mail Photo stationary instead, once the mail panel opens.
For some reason mailing using iPhoto as Mailer works for me only, if I am mailing from my iCloud accoun,t and if Mail is set to use the iCloud account by default.
Regards
Léonie

Firefox getting slower, not responding message regularly. Have used wisefixer to optimise system, any advice? Or just change brower.

Problem has got worse since upgrade to latest version. System hangs with message Firefox (not responding).

In other words, no fixes that require firefox to run or be open can be used. That is the problem, it will not run, but says it is running, even though it is not according to the task manager.

Copies of e-mails repeatable being downloaded and when I try to delete them it is very slow (I get the not responding message) how can I cure this?

the question covers most of it. I will add that this suddenly has started to happen and I have not knowingly made any changes to my system. The e-mail address is a secondary one to my main address which is a btinternet.com account

Every time anything happens on Firefox, I get a 'Not Responding' Message for around 10 - 20 seconds.

For the last couple of days, Firefox has been acting strangley. It doesn't crash and need to be closed, it is just a lot of Micro crashes. Every time I change a tab, refresh a page, click on anything, do anything, Firefox stops working for about 10-20 seconds, sometimes shorter, sometimes longer. When it happens, I get a message at the top saying (Not Responding) untill it fixes it self later.
I had been quite happy with Firefox, but if this problem can't be fixed, I will be forced to find an alternative, which I dont like the sound of. Any help would be appreaciated...

This advice did not help. What else could be wrong. This is becoming ridiculous!!!

CS5 - "Not Responding" message when saving large files??

For quite some time now, I have been getting a message in the Save Progress Bar Dialogue that says "Not Responding" .... after I start saving a file. The progress bar will advance about 20%, then it will say (Not Responding) in the box.... and then it will disappear and the file will save.
It's very disconcerting to see this error pop up time-after-time when saving files.
I also get this error when opening certain files.
Anybody else get this error?
The files may typically have several 'placed' files from Photoshop.... which is another topic and unresolved problem with Illustrator too.
Anything to worry about??
Thanks.
Oh...
I have an Intel i7 with 12gbs of ram, a fast SAS boot drive, and plenty of bells and whistles in the 'power' department.
Todd

Have you already tried saving the file to a different location (maybe on the other drive)?
Just to find out if it's Illustrator or the drive.
