Sounds like Firefox is "hanging at exit". That problem is frequently caused by an Extension or a Plugin. Read all of the following articles.<br /><br />
NOTE: Establish a habit of exiting/closing Firefox with Firefox button > Exit or File > Exit to allow an orderly shutdown of Firefox and closing of all of the files that Firefox has open.

  • After the last upgrade, my firefox will not open. Task manager says it is running, but I get nothing.

    I finally allowed the last update to run... upon completion, my browser window would not open. I rebooted, got the window to open but had no function on the navigation bar. The only way I could navigate the web was to go to my home page, google, search for the web page and click on the results. Refresh also would not work. I did another reboot and now I'm back to no visual evidence of the browser window being open. It seems like every update for the past few months crashes my ability to utilize my add-ons and my ability to see video is almost always compromised. I try to ignore updates but the reminder keeps popping up so frequently it becomes a nusiance and I cave to the pressure!

  • Itunes will not display amazon purchases

    iTunes will not display songs I purchased from Amazon and others, it also will not automatically play them when I shuffle "Purchased".  They are in the library because when I search for them I find them.
    Any help greatly appreciated.

    Hi,
    You stated that you found them when you searched your library - create a playlist from selection.

  • Itunes will not open on macbook.  says requires quicktime 7.5.5 or later.

    Have a macbook and when I try to open itunes it says that itunes requires quicktime 7.5.5 or later.  I try to download quicktime as i have 7.5 and it tells me to manage software through the software update function.  The software update function will not find an update for quicktime.  Help!  Not sure how to get itunes set up

    Hi there,
    I have also just updated my computer via the system updates. I am running OS Snow Leopard 10.5.8, and my iTunes won't open and then prompts me for a Quicktime update 7.5.5.
    Now, I have gone through the Apple support and downloaded the Quicktime update 7.5.5 for OS 10.5 or later (or whatever it was - the second from the top?). Anyways, it says it installed properly and that I need to restart my laptop. Once I have restarted, iTunes still will not open and it still says I need to update Quicktime.
    I have tried a few other solutions and nothing seems to work. Do you have any further suggestions on what I have to do to make this work? I'd really not like to have to use another media player to play music. And I don't really want to have to go out and buy a new laptop.. Although I'm starting to get really frustrated with the apparent lack of support for older versions.
    Any thing you can suggest will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

  • Itunes will not display my existing photos and I cannot rebuild them either

    Hey IPhoto will not display my photos aand will not let me rebuild them from any existing library or back up file?

    Your interests would be better served if you posted your problem in the iTunes forum.  The people there are oriented towards iTunes more than here.
    Ciao.

  • TS1717 Itunes will not open. It just says" This version of Itunes has not been correctly localized fro this language. Please run the English version". I have tried to open with Shift/Control but it will not open. Help?

    Itunes will not open from my desk top. It just says "This version of Itunes has not been correctly localized for this language. Please run the English version". How can I change versions or whatever if unable to open at all? TIA

    Let's try a repair install of iTunes.
    Restart the PC first.
    If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair".
    If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", and click "Change". Select "Repair" and click "Next" as per the following screenshot:
    Can you launch your iTunes now?

  • My ITunes will not display songs correctly

  • HT203175 my itunes will not launch from desktop keeps saying not installed properly despite having uninstalled and reinstalled many times

    anybody got any ideas ??? won't launch from desktop

    Thanks.  I read that link before posting here but I wasn't able to do the first part because iTunes will not ever open for me to start it in Safe mode. 
    Since I posted yesterday, "something" I did must have worked (but I don't know what exactly because I think I didn't do anything).  But iTunes just randomly appeared on the system tray yesterday afternoon.  It wouldn't open by clicking on it, so I tried to Ctl-Alt-Del to close it, thinking I'd at least get some errors to view in the log, but then about a half hour after  I had tried to close it through Ctl-Alt-Del, it actually opened.  It still doesn't recognize my iPhone 4S though.  If I get that to start working I'll update again. 

  • Adobe 10.1.7 will not close in task manager after you exit the program. High cpu

    Hello,
    Updated to 10.1.7 and noticed that when you close the program an instance of acrobat stays open in task manager with high 50%+ cpu usage. Will not close at all unless you end task. if you open adobe again a new instance opens again consuming more cpu and cripples the machine with high cpu. This is on win 8 64bit machine. Had the previous release 10.1.6 working for some time on the same machine with no issues.
    Thank you in advance

    Identical issue with Acrobat XI Pro on Windows 8 Pro 64 bit. After viewing PDF file, upon closing Acrobat, a new Background Process starts called Adobe Acrobat (32 bit) uses 18% of cpu.  I have left run for three to four hours and does not close.  If I open another PDF file and then close, a second Background Process of Adobe Acrobat (32 bit) start, also using 18% of cpu.  I was able to open a third PDF file and upon closing a third Background Process of Adobe Acrobat (32 bit) start, also using 18% of cpu.  I did not try more.  All three consume over 50% of processor and after an hour does not close.  Fan and cpu begin to run hot so I manual End Task.  I tried Repair Acrobat Installation command, did not fix.  After searching forum used the Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool (http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html) to uninstall.  Then downloaded Acrobat XI Pro from My Adobe account login.  Reinstalled software.  Issue gone, could not replicate even after several hours of trying.  Then Checked for Updates. After updates installed, loaded and brought to version 11.0.3, problem returned as before. I have PDF files on both local drive and NAS, been able to recreate issue on both.  In a PDF intensive environment, I was having to leave the task manager up and occasionally stop Background Process of Adobe Acrobat (32 bit) so as to keep processor usage and fan speed down, thanks to Goateye01 for the suggestion, I now leave Acrobat open and close the files, this way the background process hang does not occur.  Additional Note, only able to create issue with standalone application, issue does not occur when in IE10 and viewing PDF files.   Hopefully a fix or helpful guidance coming soon?

  • ITunes will not display ringtone eligible songs

    My iTunes music folder has suddnely decided to not display which songs that can be converted to ringtones. I have clicked on the bell icon and restarted iTunes and rebooted my machine but nothing seems to work. Any suggestions?

    Mine also no longer displays the bell icon. I go to iTunes, see if the song in the Store has a bell, and then make a ringtone, or just go and click create ringtone from the menu, and if it lets me, I know I can, and if it doesn't, I know I can't. A hassle, but I've tried everything to get those bells back and I have yet to find a way.

  • ITunes will not display the correct name of my iPod

    Whenever I connect my iPod to iTunes, iTunes displays the name of the iPod as HP_Pavillion, which is not the correct name for my iPod, and if I open it, no songs or videos are displayed but iTunes says that 15.13 gb are used (also incorrect).
    If I eject the iPod, all of my songs are there and the correct name is displayed under settings.
    What do I do????
    John

    okay, with that set of symptoms we had better check on this possibility:
    Windows confuses iPod with network drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear

  • Movies in itune will not display Full screen on macbook?

    My itune movies always played full screen when I selected full screen option.
    For some reason- today it does not.
    When I select the Full screen option - the display goes into Full screen mode, but the video image is small- in the center of the screen. (?)
    I'm not sure what has happened. I have not changed any settings. I did install some updates.
    Please help.

    I'm having just the reverse effect. I want to see my iTunes movies in the smaller size. It automatically opens in full screen and when I choose the arrows to make it smaller, it stops playing. Let me know if you get any info.

  • Itunes will not open on Win 8 saying The Procedure entry point.....

    I had all sorts of issues getting iTunes to run on Windows 8 - but found a solution here somewhere.
    Suddenly today it is giving a massive long error message... The procedure entry point?videoTracks@QTMovie......... could not be located in the dynamic link library C:\Program Files (x86) Common Files \ Apple | Apple Application support \WebKit.dll
    I have repaured, uninstalled, reinstalled, uninstalled, downloaded a new version, installed/.... so far with restarting etc it has taken ages and nothing is changing the status.
    Any ideas anyone please?
    Thank
    Carol

    I know you've already fixed this one, Carol, but for other people reading this post, the following user tip might be useful:
