A pop up called XPCOM since I downloaded stops me from going on to the Internet ??
I want to reinstall FireFox but no matter if I use Comcast or Google or any attempt to get on line with
any program a :POP UP in center screen XPCOM pops up and my only option is to cancel it without
any moe actions. George Weir [email protected]
NOTE : I am sending this problem using a spare PC. Have been a FireFox user for years.
A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container 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 and the updater process.
See:
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Server+not+found
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Firewalls
Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 26: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
if possible uninstall your current Firefox version to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
*(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

As soon as I open iTunes a message pops up to say a problem has stopped it from working and I have to close it. Any solutions?
Start with the third box in Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
If that doesn't work, use the steps in the second box to repair your iTunes installation. Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup advice elsewhere in the user tip.

Both my iphone and my husbands iphone ring at the same time when only one of us is being called. How can I stop this from happening?
This post has already been answered. Why are you plugging your own site with an answer that has already been given? Not to mention that the information you are handing out is incorrect. There is no bug, there is no patch, and no one needs to delete any email addresses. If you take the time to read the posts with the correct answers, you will see that the solution is totally different than the erroneous one you have posted.

I have downloaded updates for microsoft office and now the internet wont work - any ideas?
I have downloaded updates for microsoft office and now the internet wont work - any ideas?
If you want to simply do a 'fresh' install (versus wiping out all of your data and doing a 'clean' install) simply boot to your Recovery partition (hold down the Command and R keys whilst booting) and when the Recovery screen appears, elect to freshly install OS X.
Don't know that will solve your problem, though... did you do the 'automatic' update or download the update as a disk image (.dmg)? I wouldn't think that would be causing your problems...

I cannot download Mavericks. Every time the file download stops a message appears that says the file is damaged and cannot be used to install Mavericks. I delete the file, download again and the same message appears. What can I do?
I only have one video project that I ever published to iDisk. It didn't have any music or photo files attatched to it, just a few clips stitched together. I can play these clips right now in the Event Library (so I know the source files are on my computer), but strangely, under the Project Library, the project is not there. I'm almost certain that I didn't store the project on iDisk; I just completed the video and published it to iDisk (as a .mov file I think) for family to see. I've tried to figure out how to get iDisk to stop looking for this project to no avail.
I don't know if others have experienced this, but if I click on any project and on the menu bar select Share --> Remove From --> Media Browser... it lists iPod, iPhone, iPad, tv, Computer and MobileMe. Why would MobileMe be an option here? This is the case for any video project I select. Didn't iLife '11 and/or OSX 10.8 remove all mention of MobileMe? I wonder if this is part of the problem too.
Edit: I just removed every project I have from the Media Browser. Still no luck. -
i bourgt 10.7 Lion, but i cnt´t install it. All the last updates are downloaded. I see the sign of the lion, but not clear- there stand the download stopped. How can i continue the download?
In that case, drag the Lion installer from your application folder to the trash. Empty trash. Now press option key and click on 'purchased' tab. The button next to the Lion installer now should say 'install' click on that to download again.

How to download a form from a website off of internet
how to download a form from a website off the internet
Hi,
Let’s verify the following:
Whether you want to download a form from a SharePoint site.
Whether you want to download a form from a SharePoint online or on premise.
You can Download a copy from SharePoint site.
Also you can Go to the library->Library->Open with Explorer->copy the form that you want to download.
Besides, take a look at the article about sync with OneDrive for Business or Workspace:

My Ipad screen is stuck on vertical since I downloaded and installed iOS5. I want to use it on horizontal for reading 2 pages at a time. I've toggled back and forth on the lock screen switch, but it still goes to vertical. Ugh. Please help!
To do so: Hold the home button and the sleep button at the same time (ignore slider) until the apple logo appears.

How do I get rid of excessive pop up ads? When on the internet they always pop up. I think I have a virus.
You probably have some kind of adware installed, assuming that your Mac is not actually running OS 9 or earlier (systems that date back to the 90s). I'm assuming that the forum choice was an error, as I doubt such an old system would even be capable of properly displaying modern websites. What version of Mac OS are you actually running? (Go to the Apple menu and choose About This Mac.)
Assuming you're actually running some version of Mac OS X, see my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing the adware.
