New windows will no longer open

Within the last week neither chat windows on some sites or any new windows other than firefox home page ( and related tabs will open) Any help would be much appreciated.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Open in a new window is no longer usable in v4.0.1

After installing v4.0.1 the open in a new window function no longer works properly. A new window is opened, but where the bookmarks toolbar should be displayed it shows a blank line. The navigation toolbar is displayed, but does not function. If I click on links in the displayed page the URL in the navigation toolbar does not change to reflect the new page I am seeing. The reload button in the navigation toolbar will not reload the page.

Open link in new window will not work

I am running Firefox 3.6.12 on Windows XP and have never had a problem until just recently. If I right click and select "open link in new window", a new window will open, but it is blank. This started about a week ago while playing Pogo...the game rooms will not load because they open in a new window. Now I am noticing that it is with everything, not just Pogo.
I have tried checking and unchecking the "block pop-ups" option and the new windows will not load either way.
Any help would be appreciated!!!
Thanks!

For unknown reasons iTunes will no longer open. I have an HP laptop running windows 7 with Kaspersky protection. It worked fine before but now won't open. I tried downloading the most recent up-date and it will still not open. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the reply with additional information.
Recent history for Premiere Elements points to the program having problems when more than 1 video card/graphics card is
being used by the computer on which Premiere Elements is running. This observation may seem contra indicated by the fact
that you say that the program did work well about 2 years ago in the same setup. But other factors may have set in with regard
to drivers, drivers versions, and driver conflicts. But this factor, does need to be ruled in or out.
Can you disable one or the other card to determine the impact of this on your problem?
But, of prime concern with regard to video card/graphics card is the use of a NVIDIA GeForce card with Premiere Elements 10.
Even if your NVIDIA GeForce were the only card, Premiere Elements 10 will not work properly unless the NVIDIA GeForce driver
version is rolled back to about May 2013. This may be one of the major factors here.
a. Device Manager/Display Adapters and find out Driver Version and Driver Date
b. Read the background information for the Premiere Elements 10/NVIDIA GeForce issue
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE10: NVIDIA Video Card Driver Roll Back
Also see the Announcement at the top of this forum regarding the matter - also with full details of the situation and how to fix with the
driver version roll back.
Please review and consider and then we can decide what next.
Thanks.

Add On...This NVIDIA GeForce situation is specific for Premiere Elements 10. You should not expect to see the problem for
later versions of Premiere Elements.

Suddenly Can't Open PDFs. Starting about three days ago firefox will no longer open any PDFs. I get a blank page in a new tab.

Suddenly Can't Open PDFs in Firefox. Starting about three days ago firefox will no longer open any PDFs. I get a blank page in a new tab. Nice timing, with finals and everything where I need to view PDFs of practice tests.

Mozilla Firefox did not do their job, here. I am an editor and am constantly online. Now, I have to go to Safari to download PDFs. I reinstalled an earlier version of Firefox to get rid of the problem, but somehow Firefox has deactivated my PDF download feature. This is a total wreck and I am so angry I could spit. Stop launching new products until you have fully tested them. Customers are not your guinea pigs. Please fix this now- and fire a few idiots on the way- the ones who let this happen.

External hard drive connected to my airport extreme will no longer open, when navigating to it in Finder, the Finder window quits and reopens, cannot access hard drive, it is visible in airport utility, since the problem began I have updated firmware

External hard drive connected to my airport extreme will no longer open, when navigating to it in Finder, the Finder window quits and reopens, cannot access hard drive, it is visible in airport utility, since the problem began I have updated firmware on Extreme as well as both of my Airport Expresses. Hard drive is USB connected to Extreme.

Reboot the USB drive.. assuming it is powered.. or unplug and replug a self-powered drive.. (you should not use self-powered drives on AE before the latest model.. always use a powered hub).
Does the drive now appear in finder..
If not reboot both drive and the AE.. it should now appear.
If it doesn't work with direct connection try a powered hub.. that can help.

ITunes will no longer open

Hi there,
I have installed the newer version of iTunes, and it will no longer open when I click on the desktop icon, or use the Start/Programs/iTunes/iTunes. All I see is the hourglass for about 2 seconds, and then nothing. I have uninstalled and re-installed many times.
I have also read thru some articles here and have tried:
Go to My Computer\Tools\Folder Options\View and then choose "View All Hidden Files". Click OK. In My Computer, go to these files- local disk C:\documents and settings\all users\application data\apple computer\itunes\sc info and inside that is a file called SC Info.sidb and delete that. Check back to see if it opens after you complete that.
Still nothing works
I have disabled both Spyware and Sygate Firewalls ~ still nothing. I am unable download any music to my iPod at this time.
If you could offer some other suggestions, I would really appreciate it ~ or even if I could re-install the original version of iTunes, but don't know where this could be found.
Thanks
Windows XP

Hi, I've just managed to solve the same problem on my PC running WindowXP. As a clarification: I do NOT have Norton Security etc. or Norton Anti-Virus etc. installed; my search on these forums have revealed that there are problems associated with the above progs. In any case, a summary of the problem:
*Installed the iTunes package which came on disc for my iPod nano. Upgraded/Downloaded etc, etc, per instructions.
*Upgraded to iTunes 6.0.4.
* Launched upgraded iTunes. It worked. I was happy. I fiddle around with my new, fancy gadget.
* I go to work and then return. Attempted to launch iTunes. It didn't work. Fiddled around with running programs. iTunes suddenly came to life. I was happy.
* I shutdown iTunes.
*Attempted to launch iTunes again, didn't work - mouse shows 'busy' animation with hourglass then resumes; iTunes doesn't start-up. I was unhappy.
*Attempted to launch quicktime, same result - doesn't start-up. I was puzzled.
*deleted the SC info.sidb file as you have done, attempted to launch iTunes and quicktime, unsuccessful. I was unhappy.
Solution (at least, for me)
* I decided to risk utterly destroying my computer.
* Uninstalled quicktime.
* Downloaded and installed quicktime standalone.
* Rebooted.
* Tested quicktime - launched, and was working.
* Attempted to launch iTunes - no-go.
* I scream "you shall not defeat me!"
* Via control panel->Add/Remove Programs, I uninstalled iTunes.
* Rebooted per on-screen instructions.
* Reinstalled iTunes 6.0.4.
* Attempted to launch iTunes - launched successfully. I sighed in utter, complete relief.
Some oddities with my install: I didn't select iTunes as the default player for my music files, I don't quite know how this changes things; I suspect it doesn't.
Anyway, I rebooted about 3-4 times to test if iTunes would continue launching. It seems to be working fine. Knowing how fragile software is, however, it's bound to fall apart again. Or maybe I'm being pessimistic.

Firefox will no longer open completely. My home page appears, but I can't do anything with it. See "details" box for full description.

Firefox will no longer open completely. My home page appears, but I can't do anything with it--can't use "Help," can't search the Web, can't even use "Sign Out." I have to close it entirely to get out of it. A box comes up and says "Yahoo Mail is loading especially slowly" and tells me my computer speed is slow. But this is the same computer I've always used for Firefox, and Yahoo comes up quickly and completey through Internet Explorer (which is how I'm sending this message). Can anyone help me load Firefox so that it works? I even downloaded the latest version of Firefox, but it makes no difference. Thanks.

Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\) before reinstalling a fresh copy of Firefox.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 15.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will also lose your personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.
You can also try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that works.

The application called VirusScan that comes preloaded on the macbook will no longer open, claiming that it is corrupt and that I must reinstall it. After looking in the app store it does not appear that said application is available for re-downloading.

Also, I installed MacKeeper about two-three months ago and am questioning its performance. Looking for input as to whether or not this application helps or hinders my system.

I'll back up Csound on the MacKeeper thing. In fact, I actually wrote the following about it:
http://www.reedcorner.net/news.php/?p=245
Remove is ASAP. Do not use the provided uninstalled, as there are widespread reports of pop-ups advertising MacKeeper on your system after incompletely removing it. Try this:

As for VirusScan, Barney is right on the money that it does not come preinstalled on any Mac shipped new from Apple. However you have gotten it, your best bet is removing it. See my Mac Malware Guide for more information that will help you understand and avoid Mac malware without relying on anti-virus software.

Safari will no longer open. I was using firefox until I could find a fix for safari. I made the mistake of changing my default search to firebox later for convenience and now I can't open my system preference or many safari or apple linked files.

Safari will no longer open. It just goes back to my desktop. When I right click on the safari icon in my dashboard it says it is open. I was using firefox until I could find a fix for safari. I made the mistake of changing my default search to firebox later for convenience and now I can't open my system preference or many safari or apple linked files. Some of my emails from trusted sites won't open and does the same thing.
I upgraded my original system from 10.4.11 to I believe 10.6. something about a year or so ago. I thought about re installing my safari app but when I go to open anything connected to safari my screen goes back to the desktop. I cant open any files that I have on my desktop that I set up through safari, like my banking program. Prior to changing system preference to safari default I was able to open those files and now I can't get into change it back. Can you guide me through this?
Thanks,
Betty

Try running the 10.6.8 combo update.
10.6.8 Combo Updater
System Preferences or Safari Preferences?
Do a backup.
Quit the application.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Restart the computer, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.

I attempted to perform the itunes update on two different PCs and itunes will no longer open and I received a message to reinstall itunes. The reinstall did not work and I now receive a Runtime error message (R6034) re: library loading incorrectly. Help?

I attempted to perform the itunes update on two different PCs. Itunes will no longer open and prompted me to reinstall itunes. The reinstall did not work after several attempts and I received an error: "Runtime error R6034. An application has made an attempt to load the C Runtime library incorrectly. Please contact the application's support team for more information." Has anyone else had this issue? How can I resolve it?

I've been having the same exact problem this morning, and from the looks of it a lot of other people are posting about this issue, so I don't know if it's maybe something wrong with the download but I'm just relieved that it seems to be that instead of a corruption issue with my windows installation. I'm just wondering how long this will take to be resolved.

I tunes will no longer open on my computer. I unloaded ITUNES and then LOADED it again and it still still will not open on my compuer....I click the ITUnes Icon...looks like it wants to load, then I get a window that says, do you want to allow this program to make changes to your computer' I click yes, then the screen gets cartoonish...all icons get fuzzy..and Itunes still does not open. I have removed Itunes again, to get my comptuer screen back to the normal. What the **** is going on? It's always opened up just fine. Help??

Spreadsheet will no longer open in iCloud

Just yesterday a file I've been working on for months will no longer open in Numbers. The file is in iCloud and the first error I received was a warning on my Mac that the file could not be Autosaved. I tried to save it manually (to the cloud) but it wouldn't do that either. I closed out the application on the Mac and restarted it. I then tried to open the file and got the "You need a newer version of Numbers..." message. I'm using Numbers 3.1 and have been for a while. The file in question was created with Numbers 3.x. I am NOT using an older version of Numbers - I realize that this is usually the problem when that message occurs but it is not the issue here. I am using 3.1 and have been editing this file with 3.1 for over a month (or every since the update came out).
I also access this same file from my iPad Air (using iOS7). However, it also will not open the file - it gets an equivalent "newer version" message for iOS. What's also strange is that on iOS it shows the spreadsheets in iCloud with a preview icon. Since this problem started yesterday, the file in question now has a generic Numbers icon, similar to the Numbers App icon in iOS7. What's stranger still is that several other spreadsheets have this same icon and cannot be opened. Some of these are old files. Other, newer, files are unaffected and can be opened.
Anybody have any ideas?

I tried to save it manually (to the cloud) but it wouldn't do that either.
That may be a clue that you should check to make sure iCloud is still active on your machine. System Preferences > iCloud > Documents & Data > Numbers.app.
Also see if your latest iCloud synced documents are there: in Finder Go > Library > Mobile Documents > com~apple~Numbers.
