After I close Firefox, then later try to open, message says it is still running. Check app mgr and does not show Firefox running. Try to open again and message says already running.
It seems Firefox keeps running after I close it. When I try to open browser, message says it is running and tells me to close it. I check Task Manager and it does NOT indicate Firefox is running. Unable to open Firefox at all. Have to shut down entire computer and sometimes this works. Anyone have this problem before?
When you go to task manager, go to the "processes" tab, right click on "firefox.exe," and select "end process tree." In the picture I've attached, I'm using windows 8, so the UI is a little different, but I hope it points you in the right direction.

How do I uninstall a program that is running in the background but does not show in Force Quit?
Open Activity Monitor and look for the program. Select it and Quit or Force quit it from within Acitiviy Monitor.
Search for the application with Find Any File as it can search areas that Spotlight can't, like invisible folders, system folders and packages. You can drag the app and any associated files from the search result window to the Trash bin in the Dock.

After upgrading my iPhone 4S to iOS6, my Find My Friends app no longer links to my Contacts and does not show contact names. It only shows e-mail addresses and does not link up to the corresponding email address in my Contacts. How can I fix this?
I am also having problems with a site I am building. No matter what websafe font I use it displays as New Times Roman in FireFox. The correct fonts show in both IE9 and Chrome.
In addition, text shifts in FireFox. I have to position other text objects farther and farther apart as I go down the page or they start to overlap. Nav buttons and other images also have to be positioned in the wrong place for them to be in the correct place when the page is opened in FireFox. FireFox should display pages correctly by default. I can't expect th average user to have to tweek his/her settings to display my site.
I have been recommending FireFox on my website as the best browser. I might have to change that and abandon FireFox myself. -
Added or ediited texts by Bluebeam Revu,and has been saved,when I open it by the Adobe reader version 8.1,why it does not show my texts added by Revu?8.1 is my favorite version,I also tried it in a later version fo Reader,it doesn't work too!

Looks like a problem of Bluebeam Revu, not Adobe Reader.
The response above is only a speculative answer to the original question. DSI-Hal, did you try to flatten the text in Bluebeam Revu prior to opening it in Adobe. This has worked for me on several different documents but not sure if we are using the same version of Adobe Reader.
Give it a shot. Good luck. -
Any advice on how to switch to ICloud on my 3g IPhone? I am supposed to install OS 5, but the dialogue box says that my 4.2.1 OS is the current version and does not give me the option of downloading OS5. Apple says I have to be running OS5 to switch.
"iCloud requires iOS 5 on iPhone 3GS or later, iPod touch (3rd and 4th generation), iPad, or iPad 2; a Mac computer with OS X Lion

My iPod shuffle ( 1st or 2nd generation) will not recharge and does not show when the doc is connected to my MacBook Pro. I'm running the latest updated version of iTunes.
Hello Jane Benstock,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities
It sounds like the next best step to take would be to reset the iPod Shuffle.
Check out this article named Resetting iPod shuffle found here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1655.
All the best,

I have to manually close the extra windows and restore the tabs from the previous session, and reopen the sidebar. In disgust I uninstalled Firefox 4 and reinstalled 3.6. Everything works fine in 3.6. Looks to me like Firefox 4 has many major bugs and is not yet ready for prime time. I'll stay with 3.6 for now.
This can be a problem with the files [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
Delete [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.<br />
You will have to redo App Tabs and Tab Groups after deleting sessionstore.js.

i'm trying to update from OS X 10.6.8. when I run the sofware update nothing shows up. I need iCloud.
Make sure your system meets the requirements for Mountain Lion:
Mac OS X 10.8 "Mountain Lion" System Requirements
To install Mountain Lion, you need one of these Macs:
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
Your Mac needs:
OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
2 GB or more of memory (RAM)
8 GB or more of available hard disk space
If your system does not support Mountain Lion's requirements, you may be able to upgrade to Lion. To do that you must call Apple again to order a download code. Redeem the download code in the App Store to download Lion.
Make sure your system meets the requirements for Lion:
Mac OS X 10.7 "Lion" System Requirements
Mac with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon CPU
Core Duo CPUs are not sufficient for Lion
2GB of memory (RAM)
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
To determine which Mac you have, what kind of CPU it uses, and how much memory is installed: > About this Mac
The specified 2 GB minimum is barely adequate for either Lion or ML. They will run in 2 GB but you may not like its performance. 4 GB is a more realistic minimum. -
Each time loading Firefox this happens. It just started yesterday. I have downloaded another copy of Firefox and tried that. I have download 3.6.19 and 5.0 versions and both do the same thing.I do not know what to do next

After Upgrading to lion, can't burn a cd in iTunes and does not show up in finder
ive tried different cd brands and still nothing.. but the interesting thing is i can burn dvd's in itunes but still doesnt show in finder.
help!!!!I'm having a similar issue, I choose to burn a playlist in iTunes, insert a disc and either get a message saying that I need to try another brand of cd, or the burn process starts then finishes immediately.
Ive tried several major name brands of cd-r.
Sometimes the disc is not even recognised. The drives spins up slowly then stops 3 times, then spits out the disc.
This happened on a previous version of OSX but had been working great since snow leopard. (now on Lion)
Any help greatly appreciated.

I tried to update my husbands iphone 4 to ios 6 from ios 4.3.3 That is the only update that showed up on itunes as an availiable update. The download took 3 hrs and after all of that the phone is the same showing no sign of being updated. We did turn it off and back on and still nothing. Can anyone please help and tell me what I need to do to update his phone. He is unable to update or downloaded apps or anything off of itunes at this point.
Thank you,
TammySo what happened to the phone during the process? It should have gone black and restarted a couple of times and there would have been a white progress bar as the update installed. Sounds to me like you've downloaded the update file but not actually installed it. The quickest way to see version of the software is installed is to go to Settings-General-About and check Version.
