  • Alps Pointing device scrolls but won't go back or forward in Firefox, but works in Internet Explorer

    Alps Pointing device touch pad, version 6.0.304.6, on my Toshiba Qosmio G25-AV513 running WinXP up to date , scrolls but won't go back or forward in Firefox, but fully works in Internet Explorer. I tried installing the latest driver available from Toshiba that can be found (the latter ones go to a web page that "can't be found"), 7.0.302.5 (Windows) Nov 2007, and when I run the update, nothing installs. I might try uninstalling the older one, and try again, but if it's not the driver, is there a patch or add-on in Firefox. Thanks.

    Have you tried disabling hardware acceleration in Firefox in general?
    Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
    You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
    Then perform these steps:
    #Open Firefox ''Options'' window (''Preferences'' on Mac or Linux) as follows:
    #* In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and select ''Options'' for Windows or ''Preferences'' on Mac or Linux.
    #* In Firefox 28.0 and previous versions, click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
    #In the Firefox Options (or Preferences) window, click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select ''General''.
    #In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
    #Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
    Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
    * [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
    * [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • Why won't words with friends download?

    It keeps saying "the item you tried to buy is no longer available". I purchase the app months ago but I want to re-download it as it was not working properly.

    I am experiencing the same problem. It became apparent when I updated my apps this morning. I received the  "The item you tried to buy is no longer available" and only "Words with Friends" failed to update. 14 other apps updated without problem. I have tried the solutions mentioned above, but the problem persists and I receive the error every time I attempt to update or download "Words with Friends". I suspect that this must be a problem with the "Words with Friends" app and not a more generalized issue.

  • Links within a pdf won't open in Safari, but work fine on Explorer, Firefox

    I created a pdf with embedded links and posted it to my site. The links within the pdf work just fine with Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox, but they will not open with Safari, neither on a Mac nor on a Windows platform.
    Why is this happening and how can I fix it?

    Hi and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
    Try this. In the Safari window, click the Preferences icon right side of page.
    Then select the General tab.
    At the bottom of that window, below, "Open links from applications", choose the option you want.

  • Videos will not work in Firefox but work fine in windows explorer. why?

    I tried to verify my plug-in's and all are enabled. I found where was suggested to remove and reinstall Firefox but that did not fix problem either. I tried to change viewer for videos but still no luck. Not certain why Quicktime doesn't work. Note, videos when browsing will not open but everything else works fine. Videos work fine with windows Explorer, but not Firefox.

    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 (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

  • My MacBook Pro (mid 2010) won't startup correctly in my admin account, but works fine if I use the guest account...

    My MacBook Pro (mid-2010) suddenly stopped working when I was overseas, but I managed to fix it when I returned back to the States after I reformatted and erased the disk, then installed Yosemite. I lost most of my files but didn't really care, though I noticed that some pictures from iPhoto had survived and were in the Trash folder.
    I thought I could copy/paste them back into iPhoto, but it wouldn't let me since they were still in the trash. I started getting an error message for EACH PICTURE saying it couldn't be copied because it was in the trash, and when I realized that I'd have to click "ok" 644 times (once for each picture), I tried to restart, then shut down, and eventually forced a shut down by holding down the power button. This is where the problem started...
    After trying to startup again, I was able to login to my admin account, and the desktop image would load, but I'd get the spinning rainbow wheel and the computer would remain frozen like that from then on. I tried to repair the disk (there was nothing wrong), and even re-installed the operating system again, but still the problem persists. BUT, if I login with my guest account, everything works fine.
    I'm guessing it has something to do with it somehow being frozen on those error messages for those 600+ pictures, but I have no idea how to fix/unfreeze it. Any tips or suggestions?

    Can the use of SATA3 instead of SATA2 hdd lead to some issues with my macbook?
    I can try to find and buy new SATA2 sdd hdd but they are expensive and I'm not sure it will fix the restarting issue.
    SATA3 is backwards compatible with SATA2.  That is not likely to be your problem.
    Based on what you have done, I suggest a reinstall of the OSX.
    Ciao.

  • Gasbuddy web site not working properly with firefox, but working fine with explorer

    I've noticed when I load the web site gasbuddy.com, it is not working properly. It does load, just not performing like it should. When I try using gasbuddy.com on explorer 9, it works fine. I've already tried working in safe mode and that didn't solve the problem with gasbudy.com. Any suggestions as to how to fix the problem? I did do some prior investigating, and I'm very cautious about removing my cookies. It seems when I do that procedure, I lose too much info on certain web sites----weather.com, weatherunderground, etc. Just not sure how to remove cookies to solve a problem with out causing other problems? Thank you.

    I'm glad we were able to figure it out. Many sites are designed with stretchy columns that work with either full zoom or text-only zoom, but definitely not all of them.

  • Why does Google maps not render "Earth view" properly in Firefox, but works fine in other browsers?

    I've been using firefox forever, use it with google maps, mostly with earth view and suddenly, it shows a diagonal mirror image of the map from the bottom right corner to the top left. Google maps in Chrome works fine and maps in Google Earth also work fine.

    We are aware of this issue and will be releasing a Firefox 37.0.2 to correct this within a day or so :)

  • Why does my slideshow stop on my live site, but works fine in test?

    I have an auto-play slideshow of 7 images that stops after 4 on our live
    website. If you click the arrow to advance, the next three images never
    load.
    http://www.baidesign.com/our-process.html
    However, when I test it—preview page and business catalyst— it plays through
    to 7, then replays (what I want)
    http://baitestsite.businesscatalyst.com/our-process.html
    I have tried rebuilding it, but that didn't help. Can't think of anything.
    The whole site is full of slideshows. Other than the horizontal transition,
    this one is not much different. I have checked the file names of the images
    and updated the assets.
    Please help! We would like to announce the new website to our clients.

    Hello
    If the slideshow is working fine in Business Catalyst and not on another (external) host, the issue may be with the upload not being completely successful, or the host itself. Please make sure it's not an upload issue, by reuploading the site again with "all files" selected in the upload option. If that doesn't resolve the issue, then have your host "reset the FTP permissions" for you and then reupload the site to see if that fixes the issue.
    Cheers

  • Mail won't send mail when in wireless mode but works fine when wired

    Ok, this happens all the time. I have several pop email accounts, all of which work fine when I am hooked in to an ethernet cable, but Apple Mail won't send any of my outgoing mail form any of my accounts when i'm am working wirelessly.
    I always get a message like:
    Cannot send message using server smtp.name.net
    I try to switch servers and I cycle through all of them, getting them same message, followed by things like:
    The server response was: 5.1.2 Bad or missing RCPT domain k39sm5757680wah
    Any advice.

    Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network, choose Network Port Configurations from the Show popup menu, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list. Leave checked (enabled) only the port configuration needed to connect to Internet and Built-in Ethernet (in that order if not the same), uncheck (disable) the rest of network port configurations and see whether that helps — if it doesn’t, turn ON again the ones you want enabled.
    You may use “network locations” to more easily switch between network settings if necessary, as described here:

  • Why won't my paypal account open in Firefox?

    In Firefox Paypal freezes with the little wheels spinning endlessly. The account info just never opens. It does allow me to log out but that's all. Works just fine in Internet Explorer.

    When the problem goes away in Safe Mode, it means one of your
    settings, or an add-on is the cause.
    Type '''about:addons'''<enter> in the address bar to open your Add-ons Manager.
    Hot key; '''<Control>''(Mac:<Command>)''<Shift> A)'''
    In the Add-ons Manager, on the left, select '''Extensions.'''
    Disable a few add-ons, then '''Restart Firefox.'''
    Some added toolbar and anti-virus add-ons are known to cause
    Firefox issues. '''Disable All of them.'''
    If the problem continues, disable some more (restarting FF). Continue until
    the problem is gone. After, you know what group is causing the issue.
    Re-enable the last group '''ONE AT A TIME''' (restarting FF) until the problem returns.
    Once you think you found the problem, disable that and re-enable all the
    others, then restart again. Let us know who the suspect is detective.

  • Why are my steppers misbehaving in closed loop mode, but work fine in open loop

    I have a 7344 controlling a 4 axis prototype machine, which is configured with 50,000 steps/rev and linear encoders providing 50800 counts per inch. The physical properties of the machine are less than perfect (prototype!), so there is a considerable amount of backlash in the hardware (about 0.008" - 0.010").
    The observed behaviour is as follows: when repeatedly blending in the X,Y plane using vector space 1 in closed loop mode, an axis will be driven (uncommanded) to the zero encoder reading (home position) occasionally (about 1 move in 600). I have kept a log of the commanded positions being passed to the controller (via the flex_load_vs_position function) and a move to zero is not being com
    manded. The application is single-threaded, so there is no chance of race conditions. The ready state of the board is being confirmed by means of the flex_check_blend_complete function call before any blend is commanded. The programmed relationship between steps and counts/revolution have been independantly confirmed as being correct.
    An A-B-A test with the only change being to initialise the X & Y steppers in open loop instead of closed loop then 'works' - although the physical positioning of the hardware is unsatisfactory due to the physical characteristics of the prototype machine already mentioned, hence the necessity to run closed loop.
    I am inclined to interpret the evidence as suggesting that the 7344 is causing an 'occasional' uncommanded move to zero as a result of some interaction between pull-in moves and commanded position on a system where there is a considerable degree of 'elasticity' between the commanded position and the achieved position allied to a rapid-fire de
    livery of blend moves.
    This problem can be replicated under versions 5.0.1 and 5.2 of the FlexMotion software.
    I can clearly run without bumping into the problem by running open loop, but unfortunately that is not acceptable in this situation. Any ideas, anyone?

    Hi, and thanks for coming back so promptly. I think I need to give you some more information - sorry if it turns into a long post!
    The system behaviour when it 'misbehaves' is that it starts the anomolous behaviour well clear of any home or limit switch (>6"). When it 'goes wrong', it then slews one or both axes to the zero position. Having arrived at the zero position, it then carries on with the next blend without killing the motor.
    The initialisation functions include a seek to home switch, a search for the nearest index point, and a zeroing of the encoder count at the index pulse: hence the zero point is a little displaced from the home microswitch.
    I believe that once the system has 'gone wrong', it is stopping at the zero point *not* the h
    ome switch.
    I have carried out some further tests that may be of help:
    If I place a large (1 sec) inter-blend delay in the calling functions, the anomalous behaviour is not noticed. However, the start/stop nature of each move means that this test is knocking the bejezus out of a rather fragile prototype machine, so I can't do this too often!
    The encoder positions are being read back on each move cycle and monitored, and they are not showing any anomolous behaviour, so I don't think they are the culprit. I have placed a 'scope on the quadrature encoder inputs and the edges are good and sharp with no real indications of noise.
    I could test with a blend factor other than -1 if you think that might be illuminating?"

  • Printer stopped working with Firefox but works fine with Safari. We have a MacBook Pro OS 10.5.8.

    Our R380 Printer has been working perfectly with Firefox in printing web pages and email. However, now it will not even attempt to print web pages or email. It's like it doesn't even know that a printer is connected.
    But when I launch Safari, the printer works great both in printing web pages and email.
    How do I get it to start printing in Firefox again?

    Define "access the cloud". I can access my iCloud.com account on my 5 year old iMac at work running OS X 10.4.11 Tiger. I can download and upload Word documents and Pages documents in the iWorks section of my iCloud.com account.
    What do you want to access in "the cloud"?
    Snow Leopard would be your next system upgrade and you should be OK with the CS3 applications, and Office 2008. I cannot confirm that the other applications will work.
    This is quite old, but take a look or Google the other applications to see if they are compatible with SL.
