Why does Mozilla repeatedly freeeze for a few seconds when I click on anything?

Mozilla repeatedly "hangs" when clicking on anything (email, tab, item in a sites menu tree, etc.)

Hello jlbjazz, '''try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item:<br>
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]<br><br>
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
Thank you.

Why does my apps open for a few seconds then close.?

If My Phone Dies &nd I Turn It Back On I And Try To Get On Twitter Or Instagram. They Will Open For A Few Seconds Then Go Back To My Home Screen. Why Is That Or How Do I Fix This Problem.?

Try downloading any free app to resync your iTunes account.

Why does "Find Text" pause for a few seconds?

I've got a VI with about 250 subVIs, and when I search them for any text, the search zooms through them all except it pauses on a particular one. The names don't matter, so I'll just use letters; alphabetical order of VIs seems to matter....
So the search is zooming through all the VIs and it pauses for 3 seconds on
sss.vi
I think maybe if I open sss.vi, the search will speed up since sss.vi is more likely to be in memory. With sss.vi open, the search pauses 3 seconds on
rrr.vi
What? So maybe the VI after sss.vi is causing the problem, so I open
ttt.vi
but the search still pauses on rrr.vi. So I open rrr.vi. Now the search pauses on
qqq.vi.
I could continue opening VIs going upstream in the alphabet, but then I'd probably have all my VIs open. I'd rather find the root cause of the pause and fix it.
Any ideas?

Here's my setup, and the slowdown happens on all four computers I've tried:
OS: Windows Vista or Windows 7
LabVIEW version: 2011
Opened within project: no
What's inside the VIs: The most "unusual things" are a formula node or two, a few global variables, and the "System Exec.vi" to make command line calls.

Why does ipad keep asking for icloud every second?

why does ipad keep asking for icloud every second?

Hey there mcsafranek,
It sounds like you are getting prompted for your iCloud password very frequently. I would sign out of your iCloud account in Settings first:
On your iOS device’s Home screen, go to Settings > iCloud, then at the bottom of the screen, tap Delete Account.
From: iCloud: Change iCloud feature settings
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2613
Then close all the running apps on the device:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
When you have done that and restart the phone, sign back into iCloud, and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the issue persists could you relay what exactly the message says when it pops up?
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

Firefox hangs for a few seconds when trying to pause videos or skip ads on Youtube.

Hello all!
My problem is that YouTube sort of hangs for a few seconds when I try to pause a video or skip ahead or skip ads. The video freezes while the audio keeps playing until, after say 5 seconds, youtube finally does what I tell it to do.
This doesn't happen if the video is embedded on a different website, nor does it happen on Vimeo, Dailymotion etc. I can play YouTube videos perfectly while using Chrome, IE and a Windows 8 Youtube app I have.
After the initial freeze all commands start working very well, at least until I open a new video.
I noticed that a lot of people are having trouble with youtube while using firefox and I've tried a few things:
- uninstalling and reinstalling flash and java
- starting Firefox in safe mode
- using different antivirus software
- reinstalling Firefox
I read that this might be a problem caused by the whole Google being all buddy-buddy with Adobe thing, but I'm skeptical.
So, is there any way to get YouTube to work properly?
Thanks!

Firefox frequently freezes for 30-60 seconds when I click on bookmarks, bookmark buttons, almost anything really.

Firefox frequently freezes for 30-60 seconds when I click on bookmarks, bookmark buttons, almost anything really. It has been doing this ever since I downloaded the latest update (7.0.1). It is really frustrating. Can you please help?

You will also notice that your shift key will be emulated. Meaning that keys you will try to press will press but they will act like you are pressing the shift key when you are doing them.
Try this, minimize the firefox window by pressing the tab on your taskbar. After doing that maximize it again. You will magically be able to click any link on your page. When you navigate to a new page however, the entire situation will start all over. My only remedy is rebooting and hoping it doesn't happen again soon.

Please help: Mouse cursor on MBP repeatedly freezing for a few seconds

Hi all
I bought a MBP last week, and today I started experiencing problems with the mouse cursor. No matter whether I'm using the trackpad or an external mouse (I've tried using both a wired Mighty Mouse and a wireless Logitech), when I'm moving the cursor it keeps freezing for a few seconds (perhaps less than a second), and then I "regain" control of it, only for it to freeze again after a short while.
The only thing that I can think of that might have something to do with this is that I replaced the 2GB of Apple RAM with 4GB of OWC RAM a couple of days ago. Can this be the reason?
Please help me, as this problem renders the computer impossible to use:(
Thanks in advance
Daniel
PS: I'm running Mac OS 10.5.1 and I've got the Keyboard Freeze Update Installed.

Hi.
I have a similar problem, however I realized it is somehow related to weather the airport is on. If I turn it off, there are no freezes. It is weird, and I'm going to go with it to Apple.

FF 30.0 hangs for a few seconds when opening new window

It seems like
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/984193
It did not start with 30.0 but I upgraded in the hope that it would solve the situation.
Every time I open a new window FF hangs for a few seconds. It does not hang opening a new tab!
I tried the steps described in the above topic but they did not work.
if I open the console and type
gSnippetsMap.clear()
the result is
undefined.
If I type
localStorage['snippets-last-update'] = 0
the result is
[Exception... "Component is not available" nsresult: "0x80040111 (NS_ERROR_NOT_AVAILABLE)" location: "JS frame :: debugger eval code :: <TOP_LEVEL> :: line 1" data: no]
There is no difference if I use "Show a blank page" or "Show my home page" where home page is set to "about:blank" for "When Firefox starts".
BTW, I am using Windows 8.1

Short addition:
After the new window is opened I can type a few characters (max 5) into the searchbar. Only from then the hang begins.

Ver 10.0.1. Entire screen blacks out for a few seconds when scrolling.

I recently updated to Reader X 10.0.1. Now when I scroll through a large document my entire screen blacks out for a few seconds. So far it has recovered. I get an error message saying that the NVidia nView driver (ver. 135.50) has stopped responding. I am running Windows 7 Pro on an HP Laptop, feeding to a large Samsung monitor. Never happened prior to this update. Any fixes/ideas?

I am having a hard time with a page that is working for everyone else. When I click on anything in the site I get a message that says "The page you were looking for doesn't exist." This is happening on both my ipad 2 and my iphone 5. I cleared my cache

When I click on anything in the site I get the message " The page you were looking for doesn't exist." This website works for everyone else, but not on my iPad 2 or iPhone 5. I cleared my cache and history on the iPad, but it still isn't working.

I live in Germany and my credit card is in my native country of Holland .. then it
doesn't accept my credit card.
Your first statement explains the second statement. To use the German iTunes Store, you need to prove that you're a resident of Germany (that is required by the content owners who will not allow cross-border sales) and the only way Apple can provide such a verification is by requiring that you enter in either a German credit card or a German-purchased iTunes prepaid card. Since I presume the former is not a possibility, you'll need to do the latter if you wish to purchase content from the iTunes Store. Again, this is not Apple's choice but is forced on them by the content owners as a requirement for Apple being allowed to sell the content. The EU is working on regulations that would force the content owners to allow access pan-EU, but that's still in the works.
You do not need an iTunes Store account to activate and run your iPad, though; at least, I didn't need one for either of my two iPads. If you only want to set up an account so you can get free iPad apps, take a look here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is apparently critical. This seems to come and go, or only apply to App Stores in specific countries, so you may not see the option for "None" when asked for a payment type.
As to the German iTunes Store in English, you can comment to Apple on that via their feedback pages:
http://www.apple.com/feedback
Regards.
P.S. Regarding "this is the only place for a complaint and that will no doubt get removed because
I'm not full of happy joy sparkles.
As stated in the terms of use to which we all agreed, this isn't a complaint forum, it's a technical support forum. You don't have to be full of "happy joy sparkles", but posts that are nothing but complaints may indeed be removed. If you want to complain to Apple, use the feedback pages.

Why does my iTunes open for a split second then close?

This has been happening since I downloaded iOS 7 and it's doing my head in!

I had the same problem but just fixed it. I also have the 5.
1. Close out all apps.
2. Sign out of your account. *Do this by going into "settings," "iTunes & App Store," click "Apple ID:______" and "sign out."
3. Lastly perform a system reset. Do this by pressing and holding the lock screen/wake button atop the iPhone along with the home button at the same time for about 10 seconds. Wait a minute or two for the phone to restart, and try opening the app. It should be good as new.
Good luck.

Why does the macbook pro restart in few seconds after I select "shut down?"

When I select shut down, the computer goes off and comes on again in a few seconds. It doesn't come on quickly like it does when I select restart. It's like a ghost is in there.

Unplug all the USB devices you don't need or put a hub with its own power supply between the computer and them.
