Since updating to Firefox 4.0.1 I have a problem with the website shortcuts I have on on desktop. I have a few of these shortcut to website I use a lot. When I click on the short I get the message "windows cannot find [then the web address] make sure you typed the name correctly, then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search." I tried deleting the shortcut and setting it up again but still get the message.

Try to redo the default browser and make another browser like IE the default browser and then let Firefox do it again.

Does Firefox have a problem with the latest Flashplayer as it keeps telling me it needs updating, even after being updated

I am running Firefox 3.6.9 and have updated to Flashplayer 10.1 r53, but the system keeps telling me when I check for plugin updates that Flashplayer is vulnerable and a security risk???
I have contacted Adobe is that was a lot of help NOT
Does anyone know what is going on with this program, besides having some very sophisticated reporting software installed within the program

The 3.6.8.version will not update. It locks up. ALSO the flash player is 10.1.r82, in the 3.6.8 version however if enabled will cause firefox to crash without any user intervention. Starts, loads approx 20 seconds, disappears. No problem with flash player and/or firefox until firefox update. Then all went to%$!!. Chrome is looking better all the time.

I have been on the phone twice today with my carrier. They reset it the first time, it worked for an hour then messed up again. They reset it a SECOND time.. It worked for 6 hours, then messed up again. I don't know if this is a software issue or what but if ANYONE has any insight, I would appreciate it greatly.

Have been using firefox for months; now has quit working properly with the websites I use everyday. What happened?

It has quit working with "liverez" which is my web based reservation program. The place I login is https://reservations.liverez.com/login.asp?LogOff=True&Return=Res but once I login, the site does not work as it did before. The website that corresponds with this doesn't look right now either. I can't even use my msn email account with firefox now. I have had to go back to using internet explorer. I have not even tried other sites with foxfire at this time. The other sites I use for work. Things that aren't working are that I can't click on things I need to click on, drop downs aren't showing up, pictures are absent, etc. It is all working fine on internet explorer and used to work on firefox until last night.

Thanks to some hints in several strings, I went back to the Control Panel in XP, clicked on Sounds and Devices, clicked on Audio, then changed the default device to the Realtek HD Audio output I have on my computer. Now I can hear You Tube video sound and other Internet audio fine, at least for now. I will come back if it stops again. Thanks to all who posted.

HT202157 Does anyone else have a problem with the latest Apple TV update? My Apple TV no longer can load movies from my iTunes library, including ones I've already watched or were watching. Can I roll back this update, and if so, how?

After updating my Apple TV, it will no longer load movies from my iTunes library. Music works, but no movies. I've turned this puppy every which way but loose, but no joy. Is there a way to roll back an update?

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

I have an IMac running the latest level of Lion. Since installing Lion and also being forced to replace the hard drive I have a problem with the screen intermittently go all white. Happens about 8 to 12 times a day. I am using Wild Blue as my ISP.

I am looking for anyone in the west Tennessee area using Wild Blue along with Apple IMac who is having a problem with their screen going complelely white every so often. Have had the maching into the Apple store in Memphis. They could not get it to fail. Help

TutorDaddy, if this Mac is still covered by the initial warranty or under AppleCare, take it in and have it looked at. As the old label used to say, there truly are "no user serviceable parts inside." Kernel panics very usually indicate failing hardware.
I have an older iBook G4 that started developing kernel panics and like you, despite reinstalling the OS from a freshly formatted volume, they kept continuing. I looked at the crash log and saw that in each instance of panic, the last bit of code to be accessed had something to do with AirPort. Knowing that the AirPort software was at then current levels, I surmised the problem to be a bad AirPort networking card which, on that particular model of the iBook, was a very small module attached directly to the logic board. Since the computer was out of AppleCare, I broke the machine down myself (I didn't realize that there could be so many barely visible screws in one machine) and removed the offending piece of hardware. My iBook lives but without WiFi, it now sits as a more or less desktop machine needing an ethernet connection to stay connected to a network.
I do not suggest you break into your iMac. First of all, I'm guessing one would need to be able to pull off the glass and have the necessary glue to reattach it, which is not really available to us consumers. If you're feeling adventurous enough to read the crash logs from each panic, you might be able to surmise the hardware component (or badly written application or library; it can happen) that's causing the panic. If it's a software issue, remove the offending software app and see if the panics return. If it's a hardware issue, it's best to let a competent service tech qualified on Apple hardware to handle it.

I have a problem with the last update of iphoto.

I have recently updated iphoto (version 9.5.1) In Mavericks. My iphoto gallery is ok, the problem is that I have a book project and I can't have it sent to get it print. It gives me an error and it freezes.
Anybody can tell me how to fix this problem?

there isn't a lot you can do - some - with laptops that overheat or run too hot other than get it serviced.

Anybody else have a problem with the 7.1.1 update?

Hi,
Just got the new update and it sent my phone into recovery mode and I had to restore it back to factory settings, and now there is a problem with my previous back up!

Yes. I restored my iPad with the backup and all I get is all my settings back. I think Steve Jobs had no reason to die, i wizh he didn't. Apple is become worse and worse. Get used to it untl it drops

I have a problem with the iPhoto not updating after the hard drive recall.

The iPhoto with not update after doing the Hard Drive Recall. It keeps saying I don't have the right ID. I have tried resetting all my passwords and no change. What do I need to do to fix this problem?

Which OS version did you have when you acquired iPhoto and was it on a DVD (iLife) or did you download it from the app store initially?
And, last question, did you skip Mavericks? Mavericks owners were given the opportunity to update iPhoto to an app store version free of charge; if you skipped it and do not have a backup or the installer DVD or purchased a new computer recently, then you'll need to purchase it.

Since updating to firefox 9.0.1, every time I open up the browser, it opens to the "Hooray your firefox is up to date" page and then opens up my home page as a second window. Can you help?

I just can't get the browser to open up to just my home page when I click on it. It '''always''' opens the firefox browser page http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/9.0.1/whatsnew and then proceeds to open up to my home page in a second window.

look the '''solution chosen''' by '''Matt_G''' in : https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/910038
thank you

When I compose and type an email, everything I type is underlined. I don't remember this happening before. I recently updated to Firefox 5. I wish that I didn't. I have other problems with the update. I would like to go back to 4.

I don't have any other details. Just the underlining.

Sounds that you have the spell checker enabled, but do not have a dictionary installed and selected.
You can see which dictionary is selected if you right-click in a text area and open the Languages submenu. 
You can open the "Add Dictionaries" link to install a dictionary if you do not have one. 
Make sure that [X] "Check Spelling" in the right-click context menu is check-marked. 
You can enable or disable spell checking globally: 
* Tools > Options > Advanced : General: Browsing: "Check my spelling as I type"
You can look here for dictionaries:

I have a problem with the maps since updating to ISO6.

The maps are significantly inferior to the google maps. The routes are incorrect - ie, takes me on the longest possible route and there is no streetview. To say I'm disappointed in this 'upgrade' is a massive understatement. It is clunky, and of very poor quality. I'm also disappointed that YouTube app was deleted in this upgrade. How can I convert back to ISO5 - or when will Apple fix this problem and revert back to the google maps?

I do not agree with you. I find Apple Maps are more interesting, correct and fast. I am so glad the old Google maps are gone.
You can wait forever or use Safari and make a shortcut to https://maps.google.com
As for YouTube, you can download the YouTube iPhone app from the App Store.
And no, downgrading was never support.

I always have a problem with the silverlight plug-in crashing when I use Firefox 3.6. What is the solution to this?

The problem occurs when I try to respond to an email or forward an attachment with an email. I always get a message that "the silverlight plug-in has crashed". I send a crash report or reload the page but it does not solve the problem.

You can try to disable Out-Of-Process-Plugins for the Silverlight plugin to see if that helps. This may however cause Firefox to crash instead.
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Plugin-container_and_out-of-process_plugins

I have a problem with the private browsing option. In my firefox settings it says I'm in private browsing mode, but firefox still remembers all of my history.

In the options menu, I changed my settings to never remember history, but firefox still records all of it in the history tab. I repeated this, setting it back and forth between remember and don't remember and it still always recorded it.

Did the Flash plugin crashes also happen with a previous version (10.1) of the Flash player?
If you have submitted Breakpad crash reports then post the IDs of one or more Breakpad crash reports (bp-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx). 
You can find the IDs of the submitted crash reports on the about:crashes page. 
You can open the about:crashes page via the location bar, like you open a website.
