I have a Windows Vista desktop and an old XP laptop, both run Firefox perfectly. However, my Toshiba Satellite T135 laptop will not run ANY version of Firefox--constant "not responding" messages. Chrome and IE9 work perfectly. Help!!

To mostly repeat my question, I am a longtime Firefox user on both an XP laptop and a Vista desktop. So here I get the most "capable" computer of all, a Toshiba Satellite T135 laptop, 64-bit Windows 7, 4G RAM...and it won't run Firefox at all! I have installed an uninstalled both Firefox 3, and just now, Firefox 4. No changes. When I open the software, it usually just locks up for a minute or so, and I finally get a "not responding" message at the top of the screen.
Obviously there is something corrupt in the guts of my laptop. But both IE9 and Chrome work very well--Chrome is blazing fast. I still prefer Firefox because it works best with some particular software I use for work...but I have to go to one of my older computers to do it!
ANY solutions out there? This seems like a very odd problem.
Posting from the Firefox website...using Google Chrome!

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.

I am getting "Not Responding" message. The fix in the Help is confusing and doesn't seem to match my setup. Using Windows 7 & firefox 7.0.1

The problem started after last update. I tried following the directions in firefox Help without success. They were confusing and the instructions did not match what I was seeing on my screen. I need a simple quick fix thank you.

There could be more than one reason for such messages.
There is a problem sometimes with the database file used for history and bookmarks see
* http://blog.bonardo.net/2011/09/30/is-your-firefor-freezing-at-regular-intervals
There was a change made which seems to affect some Windows users, and has a workaround, but tends to result in images etc not loading rather than a not responding message see
* [[firefox never finishes loading certain websites#w_lower-the-max-number-of-http-connections]]_lower-the-max-number-of-http-connections
Are you getting any other error messages, or indications of problems ?
* not directly related to an update but also see [[firefox hangs]]
* and [[Firefox is already running but is not responding]]
P.S. <br/> I note you have BrowserPlus, that has sometimes, recently, been associated with firefox problems, it would certainly be worth trying temporarily disabling that.

If you don't have a Map Network Drive item in the toolbar in Windows Explorer in Vista, and right-clicking on My Computer doesn't give you a Map Network Drive item, then you have a problem with Windows and will need to take that up on a Windows-oriented site. Look at the screen shots to the right of section 4 to make sure you're looking in the right place.
I sent three emails one week ago to the technical help with no response
Doesn't give one much confidence in the company or their products, then. Perhaps you should look for a different product, one with better support. FileBrowser generally comes well recommended.

I have a windows vista pc and want to use migration assistant to copy files over. From what I understand, it will copy over my user profile and settings as well. Is there anyway to just copy files?

Hey everyone, I just bought a new macbook pro 13-inch (late 2011 model) and I want to use migration assistant to copy over my photos, iTunes library, documents, etc. I know this can be done wirelessly or by connecting the two computers by Ethernet cable (windows vista pc --> macbook pro). Which is faster?
I also have heard that using migration assistant copies over the user file as well and makes it the new one on the mac. I would only like to copy over files, not user settings. How do I do this?
Thanks!
P.S. I'm assuming that when my iTunes library is copied, the mp3 files are copied too. Could someone please confirm this?

My iphone 4 has just switched on vibrate continuously automatically and will not respond to rest or switching off ! Help!

2weeks ago updated my iphone with the latest update and have had nothing but trouble ever since.
I have since trid to restore and update several more times but still with no success.
I have had countless issues with the phone from continuous freezing when trying to open apps, utilise camera, make phone calls, set calendar dates and more!
The latest, this morning, my vibrate alert auromatically switched on and now will not stop!
Its been going for almost an hour and I dont know what to do!
Have hooked up to itunes but itunes is not recognising the phone!
Have continuously tried holding down the start butto and front button to no avail
Help!

I have the same problem, but it happens sometimes. Since I installed iOS 8, I have countless issues, one of them being the automatic on/off of the vibration. It just goes crazy and then restarts. Is this a hardware or software bug?
Thanks,

I'm logged in and the page knows it but it will not let me in. IE9 works.

I logged in to the Adobe site from Dreamweaver CS5.5. The site recognized me and displayed my name on the page. However, it did not display the welcome bar where registered users like me can make posts. See [http://forums.adobe.com/community/general/forum_comments?view=discussions&start=0]. The bar should appear just below the black Forums box on the left, with an avatar for the user.
After contacting Adobe customer support I just tried it in IE9 and Google Chrome with no problems. Entered the url in a fresh Firefox page with the same result - no access.
So I thought that I would ask you about how to fix it.

When I print doc in Adobe Reader, it automatically scrolls down several inches before starting to print text. Therefore text runs off bottom of page. Have tried all different settings and nothing works. Help!!!!!

When I print in Adobe Reader, the paper scrolls down several inches before the text begins therefore running off the page. I have tried numerous settings and cannot fix problem. Help!!!

I have finally cracked it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The issue is definitely with Java Sun. "Uneven character spacing when printing JTextComponent"
It is raised on the http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6488219
And currently in OPEN state, and raised on 31 Oct 2006 and mentions it was caused by fix 4352983.
So where do we go from here. It's not good because I have tried all later version of the JVM and the issue is still there.
Why? Because it hasn't been fixed yet. Read the bug report above, as it gives more insight -- and mentions the workaround is NOT good for existing code.
So the way forward is to use an earlier version of the JVM 5.
I download the JVM version 1.5.0 (starting version) and works Ok... I would probably think version prior to 4352983 would be Ok too.
Please vote for this.... We have a workaround (use older version of the JVM).
So I am very happy.

My Laptop will NOT turn on!!! please help!

My Toshiba Satellite L305D-S5892 will not turn on. It has been this way for almost a month. I had left my computer on while going to the bathroom and when i came back it was turned off. I tried turning it on but it wouldn't. The battery light and the charger light were both green, and the power light is very dimly green. My sister has the same exact laptop as i do, so i tried exchanging the chargers, but it didn't help. I tried exchanging the batteries, which didn't help. I tried letting both batteries sit out for a while then put it back in, but it still wouldn't turn on. I have tried holding down the power button to turn it on, but no matter how hard or how long i hold it down it won't turn on. My dad thought it may be the battery connection but i have no idea, and it is currently just out of the 1 year warranty as it was bought black friday of last year. PLEASE HELP!! PLEASE!....thank you

Unplug the AC adaptor, remove the battery, then press and hold the power button down for a minimum of 30 seconds. Now replace the battery and see if it powers up. If not repreat the process but this time leave the battery out and only plug in the AC. If it still doesn't power on repeat the process again and this time replace the battery and plug the AC back in. If it still doesn't power up it's time to start checking the hardware. Remove the ram and try it with only one stick. You might need to try each one individually to see if either works. If that doesn't help remove the hard drive and see if it will post to the Toshiba screen. If that doesn't help you'll probably need to take it to a service center.
If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

I just did an itunes update on my windows vista 64 and have been getting a runtime error eversense. Unstalled everything apple per microsoft forum discussions and solved the problem. When is apple going to update this problem for itunes?

I just recently did an itunes update on my Windows Vista 64 and have been getting a runtime C++ R0634 error ever since. Per microsoft forum discussions, I have removed everything apple on my computer to get this runtime error to stop. When I tried to remove and reinstall itunes, I get an error message during installation and to try again. Has just become a cycle. Apple, are you working on this?

I have exactly the same problem. Got update notice from Apple for iTunes and getting the C++ runtime error R0634 ever since. I have no clue how to fix it....meantime, I can't even pull up Outlook to check email. HELP!!

Windows vista, sync and restore errors. I give up.

I have had continuous problems with my 8gb ipod touch, 2nd gen. I just returned one which I had had for 4 months during which it worked, but then I could not get it to restore and now have a new one and have the same problem. When I first got the new one , it would not sync it had a number of errors such as;
- Attempting to copy to the disk 'X' ipod failed. An error occurred while writing to the device.
-The ipod 'X' iod cannot be synced an error occurred while writing to the device.
-Required disk cannot be found.
-Also something about Apple Mobile Device
So I uninstalled itunes and all related programs and then reinstalled them.
I managed to get a few songs on to the ipod but they were distorted and the album art became chequered.
I then tried to restore it and have had more errors such as:
-The 'ipod' ipod could not be restored, an unknown error occurred (6).
-The 'ipod' ipod could not be restored, an unknown error occurred (14).
I have done all the things specified such as:
-Restarting the computer,
-Reinstalling Itunes,
-Using differnt USB ports on the computer,
-Removing the firewall, Zone Alarm,
-Removing everything from itunes.
Is it due to an itunes update possibly around june, that I have started experiencing problems.
Will I be able to fix it?
Any help would be appreciated, otherwise I shall return it and not bother with an ipod again.
Many Thanks

I have exactly the same problem with my 8gb ipod touch 2nd gen and have tried everything you have with no success (see http://discussions.info.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2531624&tstart=0)
It's definitely due to the itunes 9.2 update in June. I get the same itunes restore and sync errors you have on Windows Vista and Windows 7. It only starts restoring and syncing properly on Windows XP. I've tried downgrading to an itunes version that worked for me on Vista before, but Apple have updated the ipod touch firmware so that its not supported anymore by the earlier versions of itunes.
Apple phone support is a waste of time. They want to charge me £25 before they are interested in helping as they say my ipod is out of warranty - but its not the ipod that's broken, its the poorly written ITUNES, so why shouldn't I get free support for itunes even though my IPOD, which is perfectly fine, is out of warranty?!
Truth is, now apple has your money, they don't care...
