Why can't i get virus scan to work with downloads

I had Firefox before,and everytime I downloaded a file it scanned it. Now no matter what I do it will not run a virus scan!

Firefox doesn't do the "AV scan", it hands the scan off to the "registered" anti-virus application that you have installed. The "scan" should be done so fast that you shouldn't see more than a flash instance from Firefox of a scan being performed on the downloaded file, even if it is a large file like a 360Mb ISO image.
If you saw (or see) the download scan dialog run for like 4 to 5 seconds, or more, '''a scan isn't actually being performed''' - Firefox is giving you a misleading indication that a scan is being performed, when it isn't. ''It's like Firefox is blowing smoke up your arse, with a false indication. ''
I filed a Bug about this issue almost two years ago and it remains UNCONFIRMED. I only discovered it because I was doing am initial load of software on a PC that I had just built for myself, the first brand new one in over ten years, at the time. I was using a newly installed Firefox to download the Anti-Virus application I was going to install, and Firefox showed the download was being scanned, when I didn't even have an AV program installed on Windows 2000!<br />

Three similar Bugs that others have filed. <br />
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=461989 <br />
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=501645 <br />
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=530307
I can't even find a list of the exact anti-virus applications that have the proper "hooks" in Windows that Firefox uses to "connect" the file being downloaded with the AV application - from either Microsoft or from Mozilla.
IMO, that feature is broken at least, and at the worst it gives an invaild indication that a scan is being performed when it isn't because the user either doesn't even have an AV application installed, or has an AV program that isn't compatible with this feature - I think Firefox should tell the user in both those situations.

Why can't I get the average function work with empty cells?

The thing that I am having a problem with is that I made a different form that calculates the average no matter how may of the cells have numbers or not and I didn't use an if function. I have tried with this other form and and it calulates as if all the cells where being used. I am using the [*] in both instances but it only works in the one I did earlier.

Why can't I get Google Maps to work?

Why can't I get Google Maps to work?

Here are some suggestions for getting the best results from this site.
Give details of the problem. A remark such as "X doesn't work" conveys no useful information. If X did work, you wouldn't be here. Instead, you should post something like this: "I did A; I expected B; but I got C." Include the complete, verbatim text of any error messages you saw, and specify where you saw them: in an application window, a CrashReporter window, a log, or whatever.
Also describe the steps you’ve taken yourself, if any, to try to resolve the issue. If the problem is of recent origin, did you make any changes to your setup just before you first noticed it? Is the problem reproducible or intermittent? That is, does it always manifest itself when you take a certain action, or only at unpredictable times?
Before posting, ask yourself whether it’s likely that you are the the only person ever to have had this problem. If not, search the discussions for answered questions similar to yours. If you found any pertinent information, but it didn't help, give details.
If asking about third-party software, specify the version.

Why Can't I get the slideshow to work in iWeb?

I recently created and purchased a photo book successfully. I made a pdf of the book and saved it to iPhoto. I can't get the slideshow to work. Keeps telling me to drag photos somewhere, but they are already posted. If I click I can get to the spot where you can move to the next one—but no slideshow!
I have watched the slideshow(2x's) that is listed in this topic. I thought I was doing as it said—but no luck.
Anyone with ideas??

Patti:
Read Steps 1-5 of Tutorial #6a at Old Toad's Tutorials for a way to get a book's pages into iPhoto as jpg files which can then be used to create an iWeb slideshow like I've done here.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Why can't I get basic XPath to work in a Java 6 environment?

Why do I get the following exception when trying to invoke XPathFactory.newInstance() in a Java 6 runtime? The runtime is hosting an OSGi container that underlies an Atlassian JIRA 4.1.x environment.
[INFO] [talledLocalContainer] Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: XPathFactory#newInstance() failed to create an XPathFactory for the default object model: http://java.sun.com/jaxp/xpath/dom with the XPathFactoryConfigurationException: javax.xml.xpath.XPathFactoryConfigurationException: No XPathFactory implementation found for the object model: http://java.sun.com/jaxp/xpath/dom
[INFO] [talledLocalContainer] at javax.xml.xpath.XPathFactory.newInstance(XPathFactory.java:101)
How can an XPathFactory implementation not be found in a Java 6 environment? Is it because JIRA placed the following three JARs in my dependencies automatically (sucked in from an M2 REPO that is automatically created when setting up this plugin project):
* xalan-2.7.0.jar
* xercesImpl-2.9.1.jar
* xml-apis-1.3.04.jar
How can I work around this?
Thanks

Please see the following Atlassian Answers thread for how I was able to work around the problem:

Why can't I get online all the time with my iPad?

Sometimes when I open my iPad2, I click on an app that needs to be online to be accessed, and nothing happens. I have to turn off, then on again my WiFi. Why am I not able to access the internet all the time. WiFi at home works fine with my MacBook Air all the time.

No firewall. My office is in my home. The iPad is on my desk right next to he Netgear router. Router is only 6 months old.
Sometimes I can open iPad and get online right away. Other times my apps won't update, and I have to turn wifi off, then on again. This is a ROYAL pain! My Air works great as does everyone else's laptop who visits me.
I am a hug Apple fan, so this is stumping me.
