Adobe flashplayer running slow on Talk Talk home page. Works OK if I switch to Internet Explorer.

Talktalk homepage becomes slow to respond and generates a message stating that Adobe flash player being made to run slow by some content. Works OK if I switch to Internet explorer as suggested by Talk talk technical.

I have stated what I was able to glean from the report. If you disagree so be it.
I will say that I heard the same comment numerous times in the past of years of usage without problems. Only to have them tell me later oh by the way I removed the code that you suggested I should remove and the performance increased.
As I said it is your Mac and you can do with it as you wish. I am just trying to help you solve your problem.

About a month ago I updated my adobe flash program & since my MTS accelerator doesn't work on firefox but does on internet explorer. any help?

After this update I couldn't get online because a message said I needed
a proxy server & it couldn't be found. I contacted MTS & they told me
they don't use proxy servers & the MTS rep told me what to do to change that setting & then I was able to get online but the MTS accelerator wouldn't work so The MTS rep told me to uninstall it & download it again but nothing changed. I am a computer nerd so know very little about how the programs work so hope this helps

IE uses a different version of Flash than other browsers use.
1.Download the Flash setup file from here: 
[http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. 
Save it to your Desktop. 
2. Close Firefox using File > Exit 
then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, 
{XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del = Processes tab}
3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.

Yahoo e-mail will not allow me to add contacts and will not auto fill e-mail addresses, and now I'm having trouble downloading Adobe documents from my bank. All of these problems can be solved by using Internet Explorer, but I prefer Firefox.

I get an error message when trying to add new contacts and it is suggested I try back later, also when sending an e-mail the address I wish to send an e-mail to will no longer auto-fill. This has been a problem for sometime, maybe a month. The last problem I had was trying to download my March bank statement, in Adobe. If I switch to Internet Explorer I can accomplish these tasks. I am using Yahoo on both Firefox and Internet Explorer.

Check the Ethernet connection to the AirPort Express. Make sure that the Ethernet connection from the Comcast modem is connected to the WAN port on the back of the AirPort Express. The WAN port is the one with the circle of dots shown over the port.
It sounds like you are connected to the Ethernet LAN port.

Hello. I have windows xp. When using Firefox as my home page, I get awful screen interference of lines verticle and horizontal. When I switch to Internet Explorer I don't get them. I want to keep Firefox as server.

Hello. I have windows xp. When using Firefox as my home page, I get awful screen interference of lines verticle and horizontal. When I switch to Internet Explorer I don't get them. I want to keep Firefox as server.

Here is something that you can try:
# Click on Tools and then click Options.
# Select the Advanced panel
# Select the General tab
# Uncheck Use hardware acceleration where available.
# Click File and then click Exit.
# Start Firefox normally.
Once you have followed those steps, you'll want to follow these as well and see if the lines are gone.
Click the Help menu and select Restart with Add-ons Disabled.
Let me know if this has eliminated the problem.

Applications seem to be running slower on Lion & Mail doesn't work well

My applications like iPhoto, Safari, and Mail all seem to be running slower and slower. They were lightning-like right after I installed Lion, but now it seems to be running more slowly every day terrible. Reloading a page or opening a new tab in Safari is Very S L O W....and iPhoto seems to go into a loop or something, and takes forever to come out of it.
We also installed a Time Capsule, so maybe that's the problem, but does anyone else have suggestions on things we should do to improve performance?
The other - bigger - problem is sending mail. I keep getting the message that "cannot send mail on the selected server," and that it has timed out. It's the server I have been using, so I am baffled. The name of the server is smtp.me.com:myusername
Should I change it??? but to what????
Can you tell I'm a total novice at trouble-shooting? Well...I am! so I sure hope someone can help.

That's assuming PS was build to not do it. Scratch disks and display tiles are a fundamental principle of the program and I don't consider them a workaround for anything. You know, over in the video apps forums we poor souls have been begging for years that After Effects would be half as smart as PS in that regard. I also tend to think that your alleged "do it all in RAM" would fall apart as soon as you begin to deal with a number of images and document sizes that exhaust that RAM. One might say that in foreseeable time RAM will be so dirt cheap, that 32GB machines will be commonplace even for home users, but it's not there yet. And then it's the question: Do I burn 1000 Watts of electricity even in idle state just to work on a monster machine with lots of RAM or do I use just 300 Watts on a normal system with a scratch disk and energy saving options. It's the same gag as with multicore processors or those monstrous graphics cards (Quadro CX, anyone?): the marketing may tell you, you need those things, but it must not necessarily do anything for your personal workflow. Those arguments really have no value if this Quadro CX has nothing to do most of the time or of 16 cores only 1 barely even peaks while you paint and likewise you wouldn't need those tons of RAM, if all you ever do is adjusting a few photos from digital cameras. You have to differentiate between "average" users and extreme "power users", but nowhere is it written that 1% of power users must or can dictate what's good for the 99% other users, a dilemma software devs face every day... I would tend to think that 64bit and its possible advantages are in fact very low on the list for those 99% of users, but other things are much more important to them.

Slow upload of Verizon home page along with limited connectivity

For the past few months I have noticed my DSL connection has a limited connectivity issue and after it does connect my home page flashes and takes over 3 to 4 minutes to load this happens every time I use my internet explorer icon to connect. When I use my msn I have no problems. I would like to know if anyone else has had this experience also

Step one: Visit http://www.giganews.com/line_info.html and post up the Traceroute the page shows, if you wish. Be aware that your non-bogan public IP Address will show up. It might shown up as the final hop (bottom-most line of the trace) might contain a hop with your IP address in it. Either remove that line or show only the first two octets. What I'm looking for is a line that mentions "ERX" in it's name towards the end. If for some reason the trace does not complete (two lines full of Stars), keep the trace route intact.
For example this what I saw when I was using Verizon
news.giganews.com
    traceroute to 71.242.*.* (71.242.*.*), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets
    1 gw1-g-vlan201.dca.giganews.com (216.196.98.4) 13 ms 13 ms 13 ms
    2 ash-bb1-link.telia.net (213.248.70.241) 39 ms 7 ms 7 ms
    3 TenGigE0-2-0-0.GW1.IAD8.ALTER.NET (63.125.125.41) 4 ms 4 ms GigabitEthernet2-0-0.GW8.IAD8.ALTER.NET (63.65.76.189) 4 ms
    4 so-7-1-0-0.PHIL-CORE-RTR1.verizon-gni.net (130.81.20.137) 6 ms 6 ms 6 ms
    5 P3-0-0.PHIL-DSL-RTR11.verizon-gni.net (130.81.13.170) 6 ms 6 ms 6 ms
    6 static-71-242-*-*.phlapa.east.verizon.net (71.242.*.*) 32 ms 32 ms 33 ms
Step two: Can you provide the Transceiver Statistics from your modem?
#3 If you don't know how to get that info:
a) What is the brand and model of your modem?
b) If you have a RJ-45 WAN port router connected to it: What is the brand and model of the RJ-45 WAN port router?
#4 If you have a RJ-45 WAN port router connected to the modem, even if you know how to get the Transceiver Statistics from the modem: What is the brand and model of the RJ-45 WAN port router?
#5 Also please tell me what DNS Servers you are using. For example you could use the tool from https://www.grc.com/dns/benchmark.htm

I have yahoo music player on home page worked with firefox 3, chrome, ix, doesn't with firefox 4 why not

yahoo is home page. yahoo music worked with firefox till I upgraded to firefox 4. Works with ie and just tried chrome. Screen comes up, video doesn't play, just grey in video screen. Norton security isn't blocking. Would rather use firefox, If firefox 4 won't work, how do I install previous version. Thanks Vernon.

Try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it functions properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.
If it fails regardless, you can try changing the user agent like this:
#In the location bar at the top, type: '''about:config''' and hit Enter.
#In the filter at the top, copy/paste the following: '''general.useragent.override'''. This will display a blank page.
#Right click anywhere in the blank area and choose "New" and then "String". In the dialog box which appears, copy/paste '''general.useragent.override''' again and click OK. The dialog box will remain on screen, but you'll see that name appear above where it previously said "Enter Preference Name".
#Next, copy/paste the following: '''Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:2.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0'''
#Click OK and then go to File | Exit. Restart Firefox again and see if it works.
#I've uploaded a screenshot for you to illustrate the steps above.
Hopefully, your uni's webmaster will update their site to work with Firefox 4.0 soon.

How do I keep a page as my home page when dragging icon to left of URL to house image & confirming that I want it as home page works only for current session, so when Firefox next opened, I end up with some stupid search page which McAfee doesn't like?

A couple of days ago, I connected to the Internet as usual & opened Firefox, only to be greeted by an almost blank screen with a Google-type search box in the middle & this message from McAfee:
"Your default search settings have changed. This may pose a security risk. Would you like to restore them to McAfee Secure Search to provide a safer searching experience?"
instead of my usual home page (BT Yahoo). I naturally clicked on the "Yes" option in the message, but rather than restoring my BT Yahoo home page, all that did was to insert the McAfee logo to the left of the search box in the top right-hand corner of the screen. The first time it happened, I had to search for the BT Yahoo page & then followed the standard procedure for setting it again as my home page. It worked only for that session: each time I shut down Firefox or restarted my computer after that, all I got was the blank "search page" & restoring the previous session was the only way to get back to BY Yahoo. How on earth do I make the home page setting permanent?
As far as I'm aware, I have done nothing to alter my search settings. However, I am anything but computer-literate, so I may have done/pressed something without realising it, but trying to understand what is now happening is far beyond my limited IT skills.

See McAfee support to find out how to disable that McAfee feature - that isn't part of the normal Firefox installation.

I switched from Internet Explorer to Firefox and was so happy. Then I took the prompt and converted to Firefox 4.0 and now my computer is so slow it is almost unbearable. How do I switch back to Firefox 3 or some earlier version to get my speed back?

It takes a long time for the computer to warm up and start working, maybe 30 seconds. Just to open an email can take 10 seconds. This is the kind of delay I was experiencing on Internet Explorer before I switched to Firefox 3. It is particularly slow if I am opening a photo attachment. It also can be slow just moving from one tab to another. Help!

Credit Tony E:
To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data. See https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+Firefox
You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use
your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of
installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

Firefox as well as my Home Page tab appears when I connect to Internet

How do I stop Firefox tab appearing when I connect to the Internet. I only want my Home Page.

Hi Macca3,
Are you saying that you always see the "welcome to Firefox" message? If that's the case, you should look at [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+has+just+updated+tab+shows+each+time+you+start+Firefox this article about that specific issue] and the article [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved Preferences not saved]. These should give you all the information you need!
If that doesn't work:
# Type about:config in the address bar
# Click ''I'll be careful, I promise'' if prompted
# In the Filter input field type ''startup''
# Double click on startup.homepage_override_url
# Delete the text string and click ''OK''
# Close Firefox and reopen the window to verify that it has worked.
Hopefully this helps!

I tried to update my home page with yahoo through a download with msi explorer ver. 8 and now Mozilla can't bring up a homepage. Did I download something wrong? I' m a novice.

I tried to download the free IE version 9 available with yahoo as my home page(because it's easier for me to use.) It said my computer won't except that version but will take the Micro soft version 8, so I downloaded it that way. Now the home page won't load because it read yahoo.com/http abd Mozilla doesn't recognize this as a proper site.. I deleted the file in my computer but still can't open my home page now.I think Mozilla already updated itself and now I see I need to renew my macafee security as well.

You're right about IE9: it requires Vista or Windows 7. IE8 is the latest IE for Windows XP.
Usually updating IE has no effect on Firefox, so I'm not sure what happened there. I assume you got an official download directly from Microsoft, but if not, perhaps it was customized by someone else? (I don't really trust unofficial versions.)
You should be able to reset your Firefox home page by visiting the full URL http://www.yahoo.com/ and then using the techniques listed in this article: [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How%20to%20set%20the%20home%20page How to set the home page | How to | Firefox Help].
Any luck?

Adobe programs running slow

I recently bought the Adobe Creative Suite CS2 for my 12" Mac Powerbook G4 and when I am working in the programs it responds really slow. Is there a way to make it respond faster? Do I need to buy an extra hard drive or more memory or ram? Any information would be great!

Hi, Generally the more memory (RAM) you have, the faster CS will work.
Performance is also linked to processor speed, dual processors tend to be faster as CS is geared for dual processing.
Closing other applications whilst running CS will also help.
You can also create a scratch disc for CS under Photoshop> preferences>plugins and scrach discs, this creates a temporary space on your hard drive for CS to use, again speeding things up.
The main point being more RAM=more speed.
Hope this helps.

Adobe Premiere running slow

I've migrated from an 08 MacPro, running 10.6.8 with 6 Gb of RAM onto a MacMini i7 running 10.8.3 with 8GB of RAM. Benchmark, the processor is supposed to be about 2.5 times faster than the MacPro. Obviously I have more and faster RAM.
I'm running not only the same CS6 software, but the same CS6 Premiere project that has been shortened. All the material is on the exact same drives (all Seagate BackupPlus USB 3.0 drives), through the same external hub. It was only USB 2.0 on the MacPro, a few of the drives, the ones with the most content, are coming in on USB 3.0 to the Mini. Exporting what was an hour long project to export on the MacPro has turned into a 6 hour ordeal, slowly creeping up one percent every few minutes. At 82%, its too far along to quit and yet its too slow to be functional in the long term. But it gives me time to write on a different computer.
On this Mini, I have experienced drives going to sleep, even though I have the instructions in Energy Saver set to never go to sleep. I even have installed "KeepDriveSpinning" yet I still hear the drives going to sleep and occasionally waking up. I don't know why, or how. Maybe that is the problem. I've had lots of spinning beachballs. I've relaunched the Finder several times, each time seems to add an additional percent to the total and shortens the ETA. Problem is the ETA has been less than an hour for over 3 hours.
No other programs are running. Internet is off. On the Mac Pro, I used to have several big programs running. It would only have problems when I did an export
But under controlled conditions, the only two things I can think of that are different are the computer; the Mac Mini supposedly being better; and the OS on that computer, 10.8 vs 10.6
I've found the https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3521 article. I'll try to figure out those tests afterI get this render done, sometime in the wee hours of the morning at this rate.

Nothing "Green" about them. PN: 1DXAN5-570
By the way, it did take 9 hours to complete the 1 hour job described above. Restarted a couple of times, but every step, even looking at the Utilities folder above, that involves a hard drive happens in slow motion. It took almost 30 seconds for the various Application icons to reveal after opening the Utilities folder. I've never seen a Mac so slow doing that basic function. And this thing is brand new.

Discover Card uses Adobe to run certain features. They Won't Work Now

I have used these features in the past, but now they will not work. It prompts to download the latest Adobe version, which I have done repeatedly to no avail. I have contacted Discover several times in the last few months, but the features still do not work. Please help.

How long do you have to wait hoping someone will read and answer? There is no contact for an Adobe Service Rep. This isn't very efficient.

When i try to run Firefox i get a error message "cannot run unicode version of ATL80.dll install ANSI" this only happens with firefox,internet explorer, Opera and everything else run fine, have re-installed firefox but still the same. run fine.

unicode ATL80.dll error message when trying to run firefox
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== User Agent ==
Opera/9.80 (Windows NT 5.1; U; en) Presto/2.6.30 Version/10.60

I had this problem as well. I found that somehow the firefox.exe file had been set to run in compatibility mode for Windows 95.
To check this on your system Browse to the firefox folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\) and right click on the file "firefox.exe".
Select "Properties" and then the "Compatibility" tab. Make sure the option "Run this program in compatibility mode for" is UNCHECKED.
Then try running Firefox as normal. Worked for me.
Best of Luck.
