10.4 MAX OSX Fire Fox, for several months now, constantly is 'Unrepsonsive' and I have to force quit and start it again, can't find an answer on your support section, please help.

I have one or more Tabs open on my Fire Fox Browser, when suddenly, I am not able to do anything. I go to the "Force Quit" command, and find that the word "unresponsive" next to the Fire Fox Browser on the list of what's open on my desktop. Sometimes it happens with Word 2004. So, it could be a computer issue but I have no idea what to do. I don't think it has anything to do with downloading anything but it crashes several times a day.

Afraid I don't understand what you mean by a clean install. There is no such feature to Mac OS X. These are the installation options available:

  • I just installed Creative Cloud and I have had a blue rotating circle for the last 40 minutes in the screen. Have tried force quit and restarting and problem persists.

    I just downloaded Creative Cloud for Photographers and nothing seems to be starting. I cannot download photoshop or lightroom because there is a blue circle in the creative cloud window

    I have similar problems. I install cc-app, start it and get an empty cc screen with a blue timer in the middle of the screen that gives me the impression it tries to connect to something.
    I have been browsing this forum for days and have tried 'everything' I could find:
    - turned off firewall
    - connected directly to the internet without a router
    - opened ports
    - uninstalled cc multiple times
    - uninstalled all Adobe software (used to run CS6)
    - used cc-cleaner
    - manually deleted all adobe related directories
    - removed the OOBE directory multiple times
    - gave cc administrator permissions
    I'm using windows 7.
    Another thing I noticed: when cc is running in the background and I play a computer game, cc takes me back to windows. This only stops when I turn off cc.

    I was able to run windows xp on maverick for several months now it's asking my to insert boot cd from the startup

    My computer is 2007 MacBook Pro I'm using the Maverick operating system. I was able to run windows xp on bootcamp until last week when I held down the option button during the startup to click on windows it's wasn't there, only the mac and recovery system where there. So when I went on my mac partition the bootcamp file system was still on my desktop and all the files where there. Then I tried to select the disk to startup to and found the windows system there clicked on it restarted my computer and it said please insert boot disk and press any key to continue

    Microsoft Office 2004 (Word) unable to save files
    I have been running Office 2004 on my Intel iMac with Snow Leopard for some time and all of a sudden I cannot save a document. Word just stopped responding and I have to force quit. I can open Word and create a new document but I cannot save it. I reinstalled Word but that didn’t help. Then went to the Internet and found at least one other Mac user having the same problem which it suggests is caused by a recent Mac Security Update:
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2004-macword/word-2004-wil l-not-open-or-save-documents/b04eb870-9b0d-4f3b-bb47-b122301e36f6
    So I check for a new Mac Security Update and sure enough there was one. I downloaded it and now Word seems to be working, as it should. I can both open and save files. The only problem remaining is that when I open Word I get the following error message “An unexpected error occurred while trying to load the Microsoft Framework library”. I contacted Apple but they were unable to help.
    How can I get rid of this error message?

    Look, I realize you might have to get your machine working, so this is how you revert back.
    Restore proceedure to pre-Security Update 2012-001 v 1.0 & v 1.1
    #1 Backup your personal data off the machine.
    Backup files off the computer (not to TimeMachine). If you don't have a external drive, get one and connect to the USB/Firewire port and simply drag and drop copy your User folder to the external drive, it will copy all your files. It's best to have two backups of your data off the machine when trying to restore.
    Disconnect all drives now to prevent any mistakes from occuring.
    #2 Reinstall OS X 10.6 from disk
    Get out your 10.6 install disk and make sure it's clean and polished (very soft cloth and a bit of rubbing alcohol, no scratches) If your disk is borked, you'll have to order a new one from Apple with your serial number.
    Hold c boot off the 10.6 disk (wired keyboard, internal optical drive), use Disk Utility First Aid to >Repair Disk  of your internal drive  (do not format or erase!!), Quit DU and simply re-install 10.6.
    Note: Simply reinstalling 10.6 version from disk (without erasing the drive) only replaces 10.6.8 with 10.6.x and bundled Apple programs, won't touch your files (backup anyway)  or most programs, unless they installed a kext file into OS X itself. (only a few on average do this)
    #3 Update to 10.6.8 without Security Update 2012-001 v1.0 or v1.1
    Reboot and log in, update to 10.6.8 via Software Update, but EXCLUDE THE Security Update 2012-001 by checkinig the details and unchecking the blue check box.
    #4 Reinstall any non-working third party programs
    When you reboot, make sure to reinstall any programs that require kext files installed into OS X, you'll know, they won't work when you launch them or hang for some reason as they are missing the part they installed into OS X.
    If for some freakish reason you get gray screen at any time when booting (possible it might occur when you reinstall older programs), hold the shift key down while booting (Safe Mode, disables kext files) and update your installed third party software so it's compatible with 10.6.8.

    That's it really.

  • Upgraded to Firefox 4.0.1 for Mac, constantly freezes and crashes, have to force quit, bad bugs. Switching to Safari.

    I upgraded to Firefox 4.0.1, and it now constantly freezes, won't respond at all, and has to be force quit and restarted. Within less than 5 minutes of use, over and over and over... I'm assuming it is a bug in the Mac version.... Am switching to Safari as I can't waste this much time constantly quitting and restarting and getting my tabs all back up. Any suggestions on ways to let Firefox know about the bug would be greatly appreciated. It worked fine until I upgraded :( Am running Mac OS X 10.6.7

    I had Cs2 and Office for Mac 2004 installed on an OS 10.6.3 system. Worked fine.

    Bad timing.  Reapply the security update:

    What happened is that version 1.0 of the security update was available for a bit of time this weekend, and that disabled Rosetta.  Version 1.1 brought it back.

  • I've deleted my search history, but now I can't find an imporant website. Mac X. Please HELP!!!

    I was working on an important project and I had several tabs open. When I finished, I automatically cleared everything, as I always do, and I didn't save the bookmarks. The project is due, and the days of research I've done to find these websites is now a luxury I can only dream of.
    Is there any way this can be restored? I've checked the Time Machine, and there is no folder for Firefox in Application Support.
    PLEASE HELP.

    Did you make sure to look in the correct location in the Time Machine backup?
    You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
    */Users/<user>/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/<profile>/
    In Mac OS X v10.7 and later, the ~/Library folder is a hidden folder.

  • Exchange 2013 SP1 server working for several months now messages are getting stuck in drafts folder

    This a small, simple environment. There is a MS Server 2012 R2 server hypervisor with a MS Server 2012 R2 VM running Exchange 2013 patched to SP1.  This server has been deployed into production and passing mail without issues for several months.
    Upon initial deployment, we experienced the issue that many have reported and that has been widely documented where Mail Flow works fine inbound, but outbound will stick in the drafts folder. We resolved the issue by manually configuring the IP Address of
    our internal DNS server (which is an installed role on our hypervisior / base layer server).  The issue was immediately resolved and mail was flowing in both directions without issue.  We later installed SP1 and there was no issue.  Mail has
    been flowing normally all the while.
    Now fast-forward through several weeks of reliable mail delivery... We experienced a power loss and a system shutdown and upon reboot, inbound is working and outbound goes to drafts.  I've confirmed DNS Lookup settings in ECP still points to our internal
    server as previously configured.  Both servers have internet access, NSLOOKUP returns expected values, and DNS appears to be working normally.  
    I'm not sure if we had an MS Update that installed with the reboot that caused the breakage, if there was a lingering settings change that took effect on reboot, or what is causing the interruption.  I'm looking for some fresh ideas on where to look
    for answers, and all the information available on the drafts folder issue points to DNS settings that have already been put in place.  
    Any constructive ideas are welcome!   Thanks in advance. 
    David

    Amit,
    Long story short, I'm not sure how or why, but there were a few automatic services that were not starting "automatically."  I'm used to seeing some services that are triggered by the application to start and stop on their own, so I didn't necessarily
    panic when there were a few automatic services that were stopped..
    However, The MS Exchange Health Manager, and the Mailbox Submission services weren't running.  After manually starting the services my drafts folder emptied and we are back in business.. Maybe not "innovative" as you said, but it certainly put us on
    the right track.  We were looking so hard at DNS because of all the reported cases of "stuck in drafts" being related to DNS, we totally overlooked the obvious, so THANKS!
    Now the only question is, what stopped the services and why did they not restart automatically??
