3.6.13 was running by now get "unable to connect" notice while IE still works
No changes have been made to the PC or the network access. Just go the notice 'unable to connect'.
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

I keep getting, "Unable to connect". Yet Internet Explorer works fine.
I've been trying to get to the web, but keep getting the above message, followed by, "Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at mozilla.com."
IE connects just fine, so it's not a connection problem with my modem, or provider. I even tried typing mozilla.com, and nothing but the error message. This follows an incident before logging off last night, in which my firefox windows suddenly went full screen (no search window, toolbar, etc).
What gives?It may be due to your firewall. Try this: [[Cannot connect after upgrading Firefox]]

I used to shoot video in my Powershot S3 IS (Format MVI_.AVI) and load them into iPhoto, I used quicktime pro so I could convert for emailing to family members. That was when I was running Leopard now with Mt. Lion nothing works. Videos do not open at all. Any simple suggestions, I am not real keen on iMovie Productions and not real certain how they compress for emailing attachments. Something simple here that I am missing? Thanks so much. I am a grandpa trying to share with family members far away (quickly & simply).
I am surprised that Apple did not build a converter into Mt. Lion.
Apple does have a converter built into Mountain Lion. It is call "Quicktime." However, in order to use this converter, you must first make sure the compression formats are playback compatible with QT. Basically, there are three levels of QT compatibility. The lowest is "Playback." These file can be played by QT but may not be conversion or edit compatible with QT. The second level is QT "Conversion" compatible. These files are playback compatible and can be converted to other compression formats using QT. "Edit" compatible media files are "Fully" compatible with QT since the can be played, converted and/or edited by QT. The main problem here is that AVI is a "legacy" file format that has not been officially supported by Microsoft for more than 11 years when it was replaced by Windows Media multimedia file/compression formats. Many of the original compression formats used in AVI files have never been transcoded for the Mac platform, use beyond system 9, or use beyond PPC platforms. In addition, some commonly used AVI codecs are proprietary or use non-standard (hybrid) profile and level combinations. In short, there is little wonder that Apple has been distancing itself from this outdated file type as it re-writes and upgrades its own QT structure to support more standardized, more scalable, more modern high definition file types and compression formats. It is really unfortunate that users continue to use this outmoded file type simply because it is freely available, easy to use, or they are simply too lazy to move on to a more modern or more efficient file types and/or compression formats.
I tested Wondershare Video Converter Ultimate for the Mac, which seems to be the "state of the art". I may be purchasing a new camera which might create a whole new set of variables. This program seems to cover all bases and is great for novices.
There are many third-party apps available if you wish to search for them. Many are even available in the App Store. Most do their job well and it is usually a matter of personal user preference as to which is best.
HandBrake seems more suited to folks with more experience and knowledge.
I mentioned Handbrake primarily because it is free and easy to use when you employ the included conversion presets options. (The TV options can normally be used for almost any situation depending on the source file and output requirements.) It is also excellent for more experienced users, but has a somewhat limited choice of output options as it does not access the user's system QT codec component configuration. -
my computer was restarted and now i want to connect and update my iphone with a new itunes. how do i do this without losing all my stuff on my iphone?
i didnt get a chance to back my phone up before the comp crashed
will i lose any of my stuff?When you open iTunes and plug in iPhone (iPod) to computer, it appear in the left bar. Then just simply right click on you iPhone (iPod) and choose Transfer Purchases, this should copy your purchased items to your computer.
Hope this help -
If my iPhone was stolen and i want to reactive an old phone using that same number for the time being while i waited to see if I could get my iPhone back, would the iPhone still work while i was using a re-activated old phone of mine?
If a new SIM is activated on the same account for the same number, any existing SIMs for that number are deactivated.
Why exactly would you care if the SIM in the missing device still works or not? -

My system was running perfect, now, NO POST
My system was running rock solid yesterday. Last night, I install this case mod, a cooler master musketeer- basically a fancy fan controller. I noticed that after installation, my cold cathode lights would flicker- and my system rebooted itself once after idling for about 2 minutes in WINXP. No problem, I thought, the new power supply system I ordered from newegg was arriving tomorrow, and it would solve the power drain that the musketeer was causing me.
So, tomorrow comes, and I get the new power system, an Enermax Noisetaker, 470W, supposedly a new top-of-the-line power supply. It had some fancy stuff like "dual 12v rails" which had 16A on one rail for the CPU/Mainboard, and 15A on the other 12v rail for the graphics card, hard drives, etc.
So I install this fancy new power supply, and my system boots up perfect. Cool I think, as I fire up the game Battlefield:Vietnam. I play this game for like an hour straight, no problem. Then, as I am navigating through some menus within the game, the game suddenly crashes to desktop. Wanting to duplicate this error again, I click on the Battlefield icon to restart the application. However, the game does not even finish loading. I get the EA games intro screen, and suddenly my speakers start making all kinds of loopy/static noise. I attempt to ALT+F4 to close the game- but it doesn't work. I press CTRL+ALT+DEL, but task manager does not popup. Finally, I decide to press reset and then... NO POST.
No singal from monitor, no POST beep, nothing. The bracket lights indicate that the system is failing on "Early Chipset Initialization". Nothing I seem to do can correct this problem. Things I have tried:
-Resetting the CMOS
-Removing the "Mustketeer" mod
-Reinstalling my old Enermax 350W power supply (which is the one I was using while my system was running rock solid; pre-musketeer)
-I tried switching the RAM to some old corsair sticks I had (sticks which also ran perfect before the mod)
-I tried one stick of ram; In all 3 slots
Edit: New things I've tried
The system is now barebones. There is no hard disk attached, no optical disks, no floppy drive, etc. Now, only the CPU, motherboard, motherboard LED bracket, power supply, and power/reset switches, and one stick of RAM. Still, all I get is "Early Chipset Initializatoin" warning.
Edit 2: Because my system ran so well before I installed the Coolermaster Musketeer and the Enermax Noisemaker, I'm betting that it was one of these components that caused my motherboard to DIE. Which one do you think it is? [STRIKEOUT]I am leaning towards the musketeer because my problems began when I installed it last night, whereas I installed the Enermax today because I thought it would solve the energy deficiency caused by the muskteteer. However, I also feel as if the "dual 12v" design of the Enermax is largely untested with the AMD64, and feel as if the 15/16A rating for each 12v line somehow shortchanged my CPU and caused a malfunction.[/STRIKEOUT] I am going to rebuild my system again, but I'd like to avoid this problem in the future. So, given the choices, which would you guess the problem hardware to be?
Edit 3: I guess this is a warning to anyone who happens upon this post in the future. I have installed the Coolermaster Musketeer in my old AthlonXP system, and so far, it has caused no problems with my system. As such, I cannot prove that the Enermax Noisetaker EG475P-VE-SFMA has caused my system to die, all I am saying is that my system DIED shortly upon installing it.i saw this, could this be a problem?

Subject: RE: Problems with PC-3200 rev 2 sticks
Hi,
We are very sorry about the problems you have experienced. We will do the best we can to get your problem solved.
Did you test them one module at a time? There is an incompatibility issue between 2 x 512MB PC3200 and K8T800 chipset. The K8T800 BIOS does not take some brands of ICs. If each module tests fine individually, your problem is probably related to that. If they fail testing even in one module load, it could be faulty modules. Either way, we will replace them. But we just need to know the root cause of your problem with your help on further testing.
In case we need to replace them, we will have to replace with 2 x 512MB modules too since there are some price difference between 2 x 512MB and 1GB stick and we can’t charge end user directly for the price difference due to reseller permit issue.

Flash CS4 was running fine now running really slow
I have had Flash cs4 for the mac for several months now and the first project I started was running fine with no sluggishness, I was using it for basic animaton so it was never asking too much. the file size was about 150 mb towards the end which was fine until all of a sudden it just crashed after asking it to do something simple and it started running slowly since, I'd barely made any changes but after the 'crash' selecting anything on the stage or moving anything would have about a 1 second delay which is frustrating! it runs smoothly on start up for several minutes then will just start running slowly again. I have since started a new project which has the exact same problem and is only 18mb in size! my mac book pro is barely a year old and has plenty of memory etc. I know that many people have reported sluggishness but this was running fine until something 'unknown' happened.
Can anyone help?Thanks for your help, I did try hiding the larger layers but the rest are really simple and hiding all layers except the one I was working on made no difference.

Still getting 'unable to connect to background process" after clean install
I just did an erase and install on my system, installed FCP and DVDSP/Compressor (FCP HD), tried to export a file, and am getting that error still.
It does seem odd though that it seemed to remember my settings, because it noted that my firewire drive was missing. Also, I got that Qmaster error (An item in the Startup Items folder ("/Library/Startup Items/Qmaster") does not have the proper security settings. The first time I got the error, I hit 'decide later: and tried to export. Had a problem. Then I hit 'fix' the next time the error came up, but it did not fix the problem as Compressor will not export.
Everything else seems new though, from scratch.
Compressor worked fine until recently.
What do I do now?Well somehow I'm not getting that startup error anymore. I've tried a bunch of things and one of them was, I think, to choose 'fix' in the dialog box.
In answer to the above question, Compressor version is 1.21 (was 1.2 but I upgraded as suggested in the Apple article. Final Cut Pro HD 4.5 .
I'll say it again before everyone reminds me of the need to upgrade: yes I'm aware but cannot afford it at this time.
It appears that Compressor and my internet network connection do not play well together. So I've done a bunch of tests and the only thing that seems to work is the thing suggested in this article: http://www.kashum.com/rbf.pl?c=blog&i=1152611689&referer=r .
I went into system prefs>network and under location, created a new location. Under that new location, under the 'show' menu, I chose 'network port configurations' and unchecked all the ports, and hit apply now. This basically disabled all the network ports. I restarted the computer and the compressor export worked.
It's not a total fix, but at least it's something.
Testing a little further, it appears to be the built in ethernet that's causing the problem. I unchecked each port individually, restarting the computer after each one then trying to export a clip. When I start ithe system with the ethernet unchecked, then try to export through Compressor, it works. When I then check the ethernet port and turn it back on, with FCP still running, it continues to work. If, however, I restart the computer with the ethernet checked and turned on, the compressor unable to connect message comes back, and stays there until the computer is restarted with the network port disabled.
This would make sense because not long ago I got my Qwest DSL hooked up and that was probably around the time this problem started happening. For some reason I had no issue when I had my Comcast on. Oh well. So something's definitely funky in the settings.
I"m not a programmer so I did my best with the things the article suggested - some I could figure out, some not so much, but the only thing that seems to help is this network fix.
Not sure if someone posted this article earler or if I just ran across it in my own search - will have to go back and check - but if so, thanks. I need to go back and check the points things on those posts anyway.
I'm at a loss how to fix this any other way. I guess for now I"ll have to either turn the internet off and restart the system before exporting a project, or start the system with the ethernet off and go in and turn the port on manually each time - major pain. But if only I had done this before doing an erase and reinstall! I've been down for weeks going through files, backups to get ready picking at solutions, trying to figure out how to do these fixes. The good side of this is that 1) those files needed to be backed up anc cleaned out anyway, 2) It made me pay attention to the fact that I've been sloppy about my backup system, and 3) I now know how to erase and reinstall and it's not such a scary prospect. So if something happened in the future and it required that, I'm now more prepared to handle it and know that as long as things are backed up well, the computer's not going to smoke and blow up under those circumstances. =)
Does it seem odd to anyone that I would do an erase and reinstall, boot up FCP, and it would remember my settings and send up a reminder that my firewire drive is missing? It appears that every other thing in the system is new.
After all the main software is reinstalled, I'll mess with some system updates and QT updates to see how they affect things and update you guys on that.
If anyone can suggest a more complete fix, now that I"ve narrowed it down to a network compatibility issue, please let me know. Thanks

When sent reviews, repeatedly getting "unable to connect to review server" msg
My company is now using Acrobat's review tools for document signoff. However, 80% of the time I get the "unable to connect to review server" message, even when I'm opening the document from the server itself. As a result, I am unable to participate in the dynamic review process.
Can anyone suggest any solutions that will allow me to avoid this issue? Our IT department is stumped because I do have access to the server, always make sure that I'm logged in before opening the document from any attachment, and even open the review documents directly from the server. I'm using Acrobat 9 Pro.
Help!Hi Steve,
Thanks for the suggestion but we're not using the Acrobat.com server. We have instead elected to host review documents on our own internal server (we deal with government contracts and our internal compliance rules don't permit hosting such documents on outside servers). Because of that, I thought this was an Acrobat application issue, not an Acrobat.com server issue.

I keep getting "unable to connect to web services" when attempting to use them.
I purchased an HP Envy 114. I have connected to the network and am able to print from mulitple computers with no problem. When attempting to connect and authorize web services it asks me to accept the terms, then "checking for product updates". It always comes back saying "Unable to connect to web services. Confirm internet access and try again.". I have set up the wireless and it diesplays the IP Address and Network name. I'm not sure what else to try at this point. There is no help after that, I just keep getting sent in circles.
This question was solved.

Try replacing the DNS server's IP address to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.
For this, you will need to enter the printer's EWS by typing the printer's IP address in the URL in any internet browser (Internet Explorer or Firefox).

I have always used Firefox, but after the last update I always get "unable to connect"
After an update Firefox began to connect, but ended up with "unable to connect" page.
I did another download. Same thing.
I did an uninstall and downloaded all over again and same thing. Unable to connect every time.
The dreaded IE works still. Just no FirefoxThis was not a Firefox update, but a piece of malicious software you have inadvertently downloaded from a site called http://ffftp.co.cc/ which is impersonating Firefox.
I discovered this as soon as my Zonealarm firewall requested permission for "Golds" to access the internet. Golds??!! However I couldn't find a file with this name installed on my computer.
You should delete the file you downloaded and do not allow internet access to any suspicious program. You should also scan your PC immediately for any virus, malware, etc.
Best of luck.
