When Firefox loads I get an error saying 'the applications security component could not initiallize'. I have a 64-bit PC based system.

When I load Firefox I get an error message that tells me that the application security component could nt be initiallized. The suggestion from the error meddage was to see if there is a read/write restriction for the application profile directory. I have looked and found no such restriction on that directory. Firefox will load and allow me to look on the web, but many of the functions do not work. I have a 64-bit system using Windows 7 (64-bit version).

Rename secmod.db (secmod.db.old) in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder] in case there is a problem with the file.
You may have to rename cert8.db (cert8.db.old) as well.
Firefox will create new files.
The file cert8.db stores user certificates and intermediate certificates send by websites, so if you have certificates that you want to keep then you may want to export them now and import them after having removed cert8.db.
See Tools > Options > Advanced > Encryption: Certificates: View Certificates
If that works then you can delete the renamed files or undo the changes if you want to revert the process.
Also make sure that you allow the loopback connection with the Software Security Device in the firewall.<br />

  • HT201364 trying to download os x mavericks and i get an error saying "The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed." how do i fix this so i can update my new macbook pro?

    "The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed."
    please help! i want to update my computer!!!

    "Update your new MacBook Pro"?
    Well, if your MacBook Pro is new, it already has Mavericks installed and there is nothing to update.
    Go to the Menu Bar, and click the Apple logo.  Then click "About This Mac."  Does it show OS X 10.9 or 10.9.1?
    If so you are already running Mavericks.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

    Sounds like the OS has lost the list of what filetypes Photoshop can open.

    I recently upgraded my OS to Mountain Lion 10.8.2 and cannot open up .avi files now in Quicktime. These same files opened up with no problem prior to my upgrade.  Additionally, I had upgraded to the Pro version of Quicktime recently, but it appears I've retrograded back to the basic version, unexplainably.

  • When I try to update iTunes it says "the iTunes update server could not be contacted. Please check your internet connection or try again later."

    I am trying to updated iTunes on my PC so I can sync my songs onto my iPhone 5, but when I try to update iTunes it says "the iTunes update server could not be contacted. Please check your internet connection or try again later." My internet connection is fine and I've tried mutiple times to update it.

    That one can sometimes be produced by LSP trouble:
    I'd try the following document:

  • Mavericks Update - Error message - The product distribution file could not be verified

    Help!
    Trying to download mavericks (from 10.7.5) as I have just had a new hard disk isntalled and need to start from scratch.
    Wanting to re download iphoto but I can't as I need a newer OS so trying to download mavericks from the app store. My internet is very slow and keeps cutting out so I have tried a few times but it's not working.
    Now I'm getting an error message - 'the product distribution fil could not be verified'
    If anyone can help that would be great.
    Or even let me know where I can get a copy of iphoto to suit OS 10.7.5 so I don't need to download a whole new OS.

    You're trying to download a 5 GB file. If your Internet connection is lousy, you won't have much success. Try another network.

    Unfortunately, the error message gives no details about what codec might be missing or what it needs.
    If the file can't be opened in QT, it only means you cannot use the QT "Inspector" window to check what compression formats were used to create the file. It does not mean you can't use the Finder "Information" window to check on the compression formats or use a third party media information window (e.g., like VLC which will open many compression formats not supported natively by QT) to determine what kind of data is included in the MOV wrapper. If the file cannot be opened in any app, it is usually a good sign that the file itself is corrupted.
    It's a stupid error message. Apple should do better than that.
    Error trapping is quite extensive but there are still many areas which require human oversight. The message is telling you that either the container has a problem (e.g., not properly terminated, non-standard, or corrupted) or that one or more of the compression formats used is not supported by your current codec component configuration or that the data was encoded using non-standard settings or preferences not supported by QT or that the fourCC code does not match the data contained in the file or that there are timecode inconsistencies, etc., etc., etc. In short there are a near infinite number of possible problems for which it would be very difficult/nearly impossible to program error trapping depending on your sourcing of content and how you process it before it reaches the player app. Think of it like trying to play a BD disc in an DVD player.
    I'll call Apple support when I get a chance.
    Chances are good that they will end up sending you back here. In any case, it is often a good idea to post a sample file for examination by other QT users. At the very least, they should be able to tell you if the sample file will play on other systems which would indicate whether or not the file itself is bad and under the best of circumstances whould allow them to examing the file in detail for various common problems.

  • When I boot my computer i get a message that says The Procedure entry point_NSConcreteStackBlock could not be located in the dynamic link library CoreFoundation.dll.

    When I start up my laptop I get an error message that says 'The Procedure entry point_NSConcreteStackBlock could not be located in the dynamic link library CoreFoundation.dll. I have tried to uninstall itunes and all its files, I have tried to install safari, i have tried to repair Apple application support but still when I boot laptop, I get the message....I am at a loss as to what will cure this!

    You should have one copy of CoreFoundation.dll in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple Application Support or C:\Program Files (x68)\Common Files\Apple Application Support if this is a 64-bit Windows.
    The detailed file properties should be as shown.
    If the file you have is correct check to see if there is another copy in the main iTunes folder. If so delete it and see if that helps.
    Otherwise try uninstalling/deleting folders/reinstalling iTunes again. See Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for more details. Your issue looks a bit like it might be a variation of the issue in the first box.
    Also worth checking that you have uninstalled the MobileMe control panel and any third party software that might try to talk to iTunes.
