Firefox has recently started hanging up in the middle of an email composition; I have to lose my work & restart the app. to continue. Or, it will drop down an address list which cannot be removed; same result. What the Hell is going on? Has Microsoft taken over Firefox?
== This happened ==
A few times a week
== Recently

That is correct.
That is the price of a replacement iphone once your iphone is outside of the warranty period

  • Since upgrading to OS 8.0.2 my ipad2 freezes, slows down, safari takes forever to open, the celluar network goes to No Service and the only way to fix it is to reboot it and this takes longer than before.  Has Microsoft taken over Apple software?

    SInce upgrading to OS 8.0.2 my ipad 2 freezes, slows down, safari takes forever to open pages, cellular network goes to No Service requiring a reboot (and this takes longer than before), in summary, I now have a fancy paperweight, i used to love my ipad.  I feel as if Microsoft has taken charge of the Apple Software Division.

    Sorry if someone sees this post in a different thread; Just want to get some additional exposure.. Who knows, maybe someone from Apple will take note..
    The glitchy, unresponsive, slow and outright crashes are something you would expect in a less superior product.  I paid what I consider a premium because of the perceived integrity of the company and quality of their products. I am not going to go as far to say Apple ***** and so do their products; but they have to to a better job of acknowledging problems and providing recourse.  Right now, it "feels" like they don't care about existing customers.  I am not sure of the exact #'s, but I believe products like the Ipad2 represent a significant population of their existing Ipad product base.
    So what is my specific rant; If Apple is going to take a long time, or worst, NOT fix the problems introduced in IOS 8 for IPAD  2, give us the option of going back to IOS 7.  I would say most everyone was extremely happy with their product running under that OS and would migrate back in a heartbeat.  By blocking this option, it feels like Apple is saying that the only recourse is to live with crappy performance, wait forever without any real news, or throw away your Ipad 2 and buy a newer model.  Right now this is 100% completely unacceptable, and I, as will thousands of others, will watch how this unfolds when we do buy new products.  Most technology products only have short, finite lifespan and I would think it is at very least very important to Apple to retain customer base in a highly competitive marketplace.  I'm done...

  • Freeze, freeze, freeze...Has Microsoft taken over Apple?

    I've been on the MAC platform for at least 5 years and love it...until the 10.6 update. OSX has always been VERY stable and never a real problem.
    Now all I get is random freezing from “<1-min” to over “5-mins”.
    Mouse moves, clock sometime stops, sometimes doesn’t. I can't correlate these internet use, TM backup or any other specific tasks.
    What I've tryed so far:
    - Multiple repair permissions/verify disk
    - Reset PRAM
    - Turned off ISTATs, Tools, TM, MobileMe
    - Reloaded the update using combo download
    - Turned off spotlight
    Unfortunately I’ve already used Superduper to BU my disk and don’t have a prior 10.6 BU.
    Is my only alternative to reload to prior 10.6 and manually reinstall everything? Which may not be a bad idea since it been many years of upgrades on my MBP.
    I am gun shy to upgrade my IMACs and MB since I really believe 10.6 upgrade is the problem…all of these issues started with upgrade. The MBP was wonderful until now.
    I see lots of Freeze issues in the forum, many being excused away by 'existing" problem. Since everything has been running great up to the day of upgrade, I'd find that excuse a bit hard to swallow.
    I'll erase and start all over(back to 10.6.x if possible) if that's my only or best choice. I hoping for better solution and I see Apple releasing a fix any time soon for this pronblem.

    I am gun shy to upgrade my IMACs and MB since I really believe 10.6 upgrade is the problem…all of these issues started with upgrade.
    Thing is, if it were a problem with the upgrade, there would be more people here complaining, and complaining in a more similar way. When there was a real (and very serious) bug in 10.6.0 and 10.6.1, we saw many hundreds of identical reports. Right now, we're seeing only a few dozen reports that aren't particularly similar.
    So, to solve your particular problem, you've started well. I assume that there were no problems when you verified the disk, since you didn't mention having to repair. That rules out one possibility that causes frequent problems with updates - writing thousands of files to a damaged disk.
    One thing you didn't mention is [starting up in Safe Mode|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455]. Does the problem still happen then? After trying in Safe Mode, reboot normally. If the problem comes back, it's very likely to be some third-party software that is not compatible with 10.6.5.
    Another thing to try is to create a new user account and do some testing when logged in to that account. If the problem does not occur in that account, then there's something wrong somewhere with a settings file or something in your usual account. (Of course, then you've got to find the problem, which isn't fun.)
    Also, it's possible for hardware issues to only appear after an upgrade, so you should run [Apple Hardware Test|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1509] just to make sure there's nothing wrong with the hardware.
    If all else fails, try just installing 10.6 right on top of your existing system. This will replace system files without impacting anything else. (Though, make sure your backups are up-to-date, just in case.) Then update everything back to the most recent versions.
    If that doesn't work, a clean reinstall is probably your last shot.
    Edit: Oh, and you should disconnect all third-party peripherals as well. Sometimes having third-party hardware connected during an update can cause problems.

  • Why has microsoft taken over my computer

    every time I want to use either office or excel I cant. cant always be connected to internet was ok till you forced me to up date 

    Hi,
    I'm not sure what it means by it asks you for internet, for activation or something else?
    If you are using Online Services such as OneDrive, Office will need to connect to internet. Sign out from these services and check the result.

  • I am disabled, so I need voice contact with someone in Support. An alien program has taken over Firefox and I can't locate the files to delete front he rogue.

    The program that has taken over Firefox is called "inbox." I have disabled its cookies, but now, of course, I can't use the Firefox no matter who had taken it over.
    This is serious. I can' find the files with any routine search of my computer files, so they must be hidden.

    Do a malware check with some malware scan programs. You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.

  • Why has iTunes taken over the iPhoto file?  I can not attach pictures to files because I can not find them.  I can not upload pictures to software like Shutterfly for the same reason.

    Why has iTunes taken over the iPhoto function?  I can not attach pictures to files because I can not find them.  This has happened suddenly as if there were some keystrokes that changed the previous pattern. I am not able to upload pictures to programs such as Shutterfly because I can not find them.  When I try to upload, the computer takes me to an iTunes folder.

    How are you uploading?

  • Excuse Me! What The The Hell Is Going On Here!!

    Ok! I know I'm a trouble maker; but can someone tell me what's going on here. Is this a scam by Superantispyware or do we need to ask our Congressmen what the Hell is going on. Over 200 SOB's are watching me. Doing what?? I know this is not a Toshiba problem, but It's the only place that lets me express my views. Do we have any rights any more??. It's ok if you don't reply;I understand. Are you getting the same results that I get?  I would like to hear from you, but understand if you don't comment. I'm just dumb and not afraid of Satan or the Chinese. Not expecting any replies. I'm sorry for making this a issue here on Toshiba forum and give the staff permission to delete this thread. I may take some time off and gather my thoughts. I think the internet is becoming a very dangerous place. Please be careful my friends,
    Dokie!!

  • What the hell is going on with my MERGE statement

    Hi Guys,
    I maybe posted this to the wrong forum - appreciate it if you would take a look and let me know what you think.
    What the hell is going on with my MERGE statement
    Regards,
    Mark.

    The problem exists in the statement in bold. The inline view of the merge
    returns 11808 rows and should only perform 11808 lookups on the index
    on TBL_INSTRUMENT to determine whether or not to insert a row. It is
    doing 1393981363 !!Do you have accurate statistics on these tables? Have you got histograms on skewed columns?
    Also, given that you are only acting on WHEN NOT MATCHED are you sure MERGE is the way to go? A straightforward insert driving off a NOT EXISTS sub-query or an anti-join might be a much better approach.
    Cheers, APC

  • HT1657 there is a Black rectangle on the middle of the screen on the film I've just rented. is this a new thing?

    there is a Black rectangle on the middle of the screen on the film I've just rented. is this a new thing?

    I had the same thing when renting Gatsby last night. I have the original Apple tv, I'm wondering if that has anything to do with it (like a memory thing). I reported the problem and Apple said they will refund.
    I also had trouble a few movie rentals ago with a movie, the closed caption would not turn off and wouldn't continue either it just stayed on the same few words for the whole movie.
