I receive a "close firefox" message when trying to open the browser. I have reviewed task manager and no firefox applications are open. I have even uninstalled Firefox and, after reinstall, the same message appears (I did retain preferences).

Program was working fine. I attempted to open a webinar link from a known source. There is now no way to re-open Firefox or access any on my programs. After the uninstall, I did retain preferences. If I have to erase everything, I really do not see any value in continueing to use the program

There are various causes for this error, see [[Firefox is already running but is not responding]] for details.

    In order to find out about the problem I have restarted another fresh install but inside a VM this time so I can take notes and snapshots.
    I found that the following official package will break my Gnome 3.6 pretty easily:
    - pygtksourceview2 : this one instantly crashes Gnome and you are no longer able to log in.
    - pycups  and pysmbc : doesn't crash immediately but after 10s you get the oops.
    Let's remove them from the real install to see if it fixes the problem.
    [EDIT] Tried again to install the above three package inside a fresh Gnome install living into a VM and it didn't crash. See post above regarding my broken Gnome which was related to fingerprint-gui package from AUR.

  • I have two computers that give this message when trying to view Dishnet "Camelot" on computer: "Widevine media transformer plugin could not be installed - it is not compatible with firefox 4.0.1." I am told that it is, how do we resolve this? Thanks

    The plugin says that Firefox does not allow it.

    You can turn off compatibility checking, but more and more of the Google Toolbar will not work. Google is no longer supporting the Google Toolbar so you should use the alternatives.

    Yes, I had found a similar solution also.  I'm running XP Pro, SP3.  I went Control Panels/ Add-Remove programmes/apple software update/ change/ repair.  Then run the 10.5 exe.
    While the programme updated from version 8 of iTunes, my new iTunes is now a mess.  Not all of my music was in the same folder previously but it all showed up on iTunes.  Now many albums have been left out, some have only a few tracks and some have two copies of some tracks as well as having other tracks missing.  I haven't begun to work on that.

    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

    HI,
    In effect this is a DNS block.
    You can do it.
    You need to be in an Admin Mac User Account that has  non blank password.
    Go to the Applications/Utilities folder and open Terminal.
    You should see your shortname (the one under the Little House icon) followed by the $ symbol
    Copy and paste the bold text below into Terminal after the $ symbol.
    sudo pico /etc/hosts
    This will load the file "hosts" into and editor that works in Terminal.
    Use the arrow keys to get to the line with Verisign in it.
    Now type the # symbol and it will be added in front of the character that is highlighted.
    The # symbol is either Shift +3 or ALT+ 3 depending on your keyboard layout
    Now use CTRL and O keys together.
    This Saves the changes.
    Quit Terminal.

  • Error Message when trying to open photoshop 8, then closes

    I don't know how to stop this problem from happening, I cant get into the program to change any settings or troubleshoot.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled after restarting my computer and the same problem is still happening.  I don't know what to try next.  I have only had the program for two weeks, and it seemed to be working fine before I changed the preference to have it automatically sort through and tag my photos.  Maybe part of the problem is that I imported some scrapbooking graphics into the photo organizer.  I don't know how to change or fix the problem though, what do I do?

    Delete the organizer preferences (by deleting psa.prf file at C:\Documents and Settings\<LocalUser>\Application Data\Adobe\Elements Organizer\8.0\Organizer) and launch Organizer again. This will create new preferences for organizer and your program should launch fine after this.

  • Strange Message When Trying to Sync iOS 4.1

    Ever since updating to iOS 4.1 yesterday, I have been receiving the following message when trying to sync my iPhone 4 with my home PC: "The iPhone "Mike's iPhone" Cannot Be Synced; You Do Not have Sufficient Privileges For This Operation". This is my third iPhone and I have never received this message before; also, I am using the same PC (Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit)that I have for the past 8 months, and have never before seen this message. I am the sole user and administrator on the PC; the strange thing is, my iPhone appears to be syncing ok. I Googled this and saw several responses related to deleting the "iPod Photo Cache" folder on my PC, which I did, but I still get the same error message. Any thoughts?

    In which step the error is occuring.
    The following steps will help you to configure synchronization -
    1.     
    Connect
    your device using Desktop Manager and click on Synchronization
    2.     
    From the

    4.     
    Put the
    check mark and you'll get a prompt to Select Desktop Application
    5.     
    Highlight
    the application name and click next button
    6.     
    Under Synchronization
    Option you get Direction of Synchronization
    7.     
    Check
    the radio button with Two way sync 
    Note: above
    mentioned steps are explained as per Desktop Manager 4.5
    Example:
    Synchronize Address Book –
    Connect you HH with
    your desktop Manager in your PC. If you device is set to wireless sync then you
    need to turn off wireless synchronization. To do so go to Address Book
    -> click Menu -> Options -> Wireless Synchronization: No
    -> click Menu and Save the changes.
    Click on the Synchronize
    button on Desktop Manager -> Click on Configuration Tab then click on

  • Getting "layer break" error message when trying to Preview a single sided DVD, or build an ISO image or disk folder

    Hi!  Hoping someone might be able to help with an odd problem.  I haven't found anything in the forums or the web that match my symptoms.
    I've been using Encore CS6 (v6.0.1.013) on a MacBook retina over the past year to successfully create a number of single sided DVDs with menus, chapters, and all that.  I usually make a copy of a previous DVD project, and then replace video assets with the new files and transcodes, move and rename chapter markers, and rework the menus in Photoshop.  I then will build ISO images for both DVD and Blu-Ray (both single-sided), and use those to burn many copies of each DVD for clients.
    This week, while developing one of these projects, when trying to build a DVD ISO image that looked like it would fit on a 4.7 GB DVD, I received the "layer break" message ("The chosen layer break does not satisfy dual layer requirements.  To fix this, either set a new layer break manually, or choose to set layer break automatically.") because (I'm guessing) the material was too long for the 4.7 GB DVD (the Build screen now shows about 5GB of material are in the project).  This is the first time I've seen that message - usually Encore just tells me the material is too big for the DVD.
    I re-transcoded the material down to well under 4.7 GB (about 3.9 GB), reverted and replaced the transcoded files, and now the DVD build screen shows that there are about 700MB free on a 4.7 GB DVD.  But I still have not been able to build any version of the DVD (image, folder, disc), without getting the "layer break" message.  I also now get this same layer break message when trying to "Preview from Here" any menu, killing my ability to preview the DVD menus in Encore.
    Just to see what would happen, I chose an 8.4GB Dual Layer DVD, and chose "manual" instead of "automatic" for the layer break selection, but never got the layer break selection dialog box, just the "layer break" error message.
    I typically build both DVD and Blu-Ray images from the same material in the same project.  I use different transcoding settings for each, and I have been able to build a Blu-Ray ISO without this "layer break" error on the Blu-Ray build (which is about 24.5GB when built).  And as I mentioned before, this is the first project on which I've even seen this layer break message.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!  I'd rather not recreate the project from scratch, but I'm worried that I may have to.
    Thanks
    Jon

    The total project being small enough may mean you have one layer that is too big. Both layers have to be smaller than half the disk, right?
    Be sure you "run as administrator" for dual layer projects.
    Encore may set the layer break correctly if it finds a good place, but there are numerous complaints about it being unreliable.
    Build to a folder (no layer break is set), then use ImgBurn to build and ask to be prompted for layer break. ImgBurn is also unreliable under some circumstances.
    The most frequent problems appear to be when there is no good location for a break. Do a search for "layer break imgburn" and you will see a variety of strategies.

  • I get an error message when trying to sign into the support community with another Apple id. On the pick a username screen I get "an account utilizing this address already exists...." despite trying a few usernames. Anyone know how I can resolve this?

    I get an error message when trying to sign into the support community with another Apple id. On the <pick a username> screen I get "an account utilizing this address already exists.Only one account per email address is allowed on the Apple Support Communities" despite trying a few usernames. Anyone know how I can resolve this?

    This problem has been driving me demented. The instructions that Ivan gives have partially worked for me. By following his link
    "How to find out if you have multiple Apple IDs" I was able to identify that yes I did have two apple accounts using the same e mail address. One was very old that I used to use for the forum boards and one is my much more recent ID that I use for everything these days. So I changed the e mail address for the old account which is associated with these discussion boards and that's the account that I am now posting this from. However even though the two accounts now have different e mail addresses when I try to log onto the boards with my more recent main apple ID I still get all the same errors as described at the start of this thread by rodgers_j. And of course that's the one I want to use so that I only have one itunes account for everything.
    So if anyone has any more hints I'd be very grateful.
