After installing AdBlock Plus I can't quit Firefox without force quitting - help!

I installed Adblock plus and immediately noticed several issues.
It took forever to bypass the NY Times opening ad and get to the real front page - troublesome, and time-consuming but at least I avoided the ad.
More importantly, I couldn't quit Firefox without force quitting. If I used Command Q or selected Quit Firefox from the menu, I got the spinning beachball of death.
When I disabled Adblock, the problem persisted. When I uninstalled Adblock Plus the problem was resolved and I could quit Ff in my usual manner.
Any solutions here or do I just forget about Adblock Plus - too bad, it seems like a great idea even though it slowed down NYT (it was faster just hitting the skip ad button after I uninstalled Adblock Plus)

Problem solved.
Trashed folder for Adblock Plus and reinstalled.
Disabled Status-4-Evar and Adblock Plus works and I don't have to force quit to get out of Firefox.

Before trying to answer, I wish to check if you are really running under 10.4.11 and in this case, which is the exact application's version in use.

Since using Maverick OS, I cannot quit mail without "force-quit".

Since I downloaded and started using Maverick OS, I cannot quit Mail without using the "Force-Quit..." command. The "Quit Mail" command under the Menu is greyed out.
Any ideas?
Thanks

You can also force quit apps using Activity Monitor located in HD > Applications > Utilities.
Select the CPU tab.
Select Mail under Process Name.
Select Mail then click the force quit icon (circle with an x) top left side of the Activity Monitor window.

I am trying to instal adblock plus, but whenever i check the ad-on screen it always say s that firefox needs to be restarted, i restart it and it keeps on saying that i tneeds to be restarted whenever i check the ad-on screen

this has been happening even before i tried installing adblock plus.

This can happen if one of the files that stores details of installed add-ons is corrupt. Try deleting the files as shown in the corrupt extension files section of the [[unable to install add-ons#Corrupt extension files|unable to install add-ons]] article.

How to install Adblock Plus in Gran Paradiso 3.0.4 [SOLVED]

Hi,
I'm trying to install Adblock Plus in the version of Firefox I use which (for some licensing issue) identifies itself as Gran Paradiso 3.0.4. The Adblock plus version is 0.7.5.5. I've looked at the install.rdf for the xpi and it seems that Adblock Plus will install int Firefox 3.0.* so it seems to be an issue with the name - Gran Paradiso. Any ideas anyone??
Thanks

OK, problem solved. There was a '.lock' file in the .mozilla directory that semed to be preventing the browser from restarting properly. Once that was deleted everything worked fine. Also, I just updated to Adblock Plus version 1.0
Thanks Skottish and ozar!

My iPhoto keeps crashing after installing the latest update, can't do anything!

My iPhoto keeps crashing after installing the latest update, can't do anything! It used to crash when importing but now I'm at the point where I open the software and after 2 seconds it crashes (nothing connected either). What to do? Can't access any photos

Try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If you can create a new library and import some test photos then the problem lies with your original library.
If that's the case make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
If iPhoto crashes while trying to create a new library then try this:
Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
If that fails to help a reinstall of iPhoto is indicated. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/ folder,
Click to view full size
Then install iPhoto from the disk it came on originally and apply all relavant updaters.
P.S. If you're still running Tiger, 10.4.6, then the above may not apply. If you're running a newer system you should update your profile so we have a better idea of where you're at.

HT5628 After running bootcamp, DVD drive is detected by Windows 8. But after installing drivers, no longer can detect. Device Manager shows that DVD drive is unplugged! Drivers in Bootcamp "removed" the DVD drive!

After running bootcamp, DVD drive is detected by Windows 8. But after installing drivers, no longer can detect. Device Manager shows that DVD drive is unplugged! Drivers in Bootcamp “removed” the DVD drive. I think there is an issue because I reinstalled Windows 8. If I don't install driver, then I have reduced functionality (no Apple keyboard, no sound etc), but once I install driver, I lose my DVD drive.

Hi, guys, I have had the exact same problem since the summer of 2010. Here's what I was able to find out.
Deleting upper/lower filters, running all those Fix Ya programs and other Microsoft crap is useless. This problem is most certainly has nothing to do with registry of any software on your computer. I took my HP 9620us to a couple of repair places and, they tried a lot of things and it appears that the root of this problem is a faulty motherboard connection. Of course, it costs about 400 bucks to fix it so I'm not sure I want to pay this kind of money.
Anyway, if somebody was able to fix it PLEASE post here to let us know. Again I am 99 per cent sure it's some piece of hardware in the motherboard.

For some apps it seems impossible to determine the price before, or even after, installing them. How can I get round this?

Can you be clearer about what you're seeing? The price should be clearly stated up front... Is that not the case? Note that there may be additional taxes that will increase the final price, and that can't be included in that up-front listed price, since taxes are different everywhere.

After installing iPhoto 08, I can no longer synch photos to my 5G ipod

After installing iPhoto '08, I can no longer synch my iphoto library to my ipod. It comes up with a cryptic error message that says "an unknown error occurred" and lists it as -50.
I have done a FULL RESTORE on my ipod and got the same error immediately upon trying to synch the iphoto instead of a directory (gets the error after pressing the apply button in itunes).

I'm not much help here, but I've had a similar (but slightly different) problem. I have my iPhoto library on an external drive. After installing iPhoto '08, iTunes no longer recognized my iPhoto library, and it won't let me select it. I had over 10,000 photos synced with my iPod. Now I have none.

After installing itunes 7 i can't name any playlists

after installing itunes 7 i can't name any of my playlists. when i make a new one it says untitled playlist 13 or whatever number it is and it won't let me name it something else. Also i can't rename any of my old playlists either. Please help!!!
Windows XP Pro

I'm also experiencing this issue since installing the latest update (currently running iTunes, 7.1.1.5 on Windows XP Professional) -- I've tried naming a playlist when it's first created, double-clicking, and pressing F2 (a known Windows rename keyboard shortcut). It LOOKS like it is taking the characters I am typing, but after 2 seconds reverts to the default name, for example: "untitled playlist." this is HIGHLY ANNOYING because I try to make new playlists every day and none of the new playlists I want can be added to my iPod. I also notice that the Sort options no longer "stick." The particular podcast I like to download (the Adam Carolla Show) is broken into 12 segments that appear in reverse order. I USED to be able to set a descending sort on these segments after I dragged them to the iPod. Now as soon as I disconnect the iPod, the sort options I choose are reset. I can start to try manually reordering the segments, but I don't understand why iTunes no longer works the way it did before. I will try reinstalling and let folks know if this resolves the problem. I am surprised that there aren't any release notes or known issues documented anywhere on this site. Our problems are just buried in informal forums and not answered. Typical arrogant, overpriced Apple.

Hello Pete from another old guy,
It sounds like you have an older iMac than the 2006 and newer model this forum covers. The problem is that, in 2006, Apple changed from PowerPC to Intel processors and third-party developers soon stopped making new software for the older processors. That's why you cannot upgrade Flash player--the current version requires a Mac the "2006 and later" processor.
However, not having a current version of FlashPlayer should not affect your ability to download. If you try downloading, do you get an error message or does something else happen?
Do you have another web browser like FireFox or Camino on your computer?
but would love to get my MAC back up to date and running right.
Well, "running right" may be doable but "up to date" may not be. You are already at as high a Mac OS level that a pre-2006 Mac can use. We need to pin down your variant to make recommendations. From your Apple menu at the left end of the menu bar, do "About this Mac":
That brings up this window:
Let us know what yours say for "processor." The two choices are "PowerPC" as in the example, or "Intel." If you have an Intel processor, you have more options available.
Awaiting your report,
Allan

After installing the update, why can i no longer attach a photo on live messenger?

After installing the update, why can i no longer attach a photo on live messenger?

In the System Preferences/Printers & Scanners/
selected this printer.
Selected Print (vs scan) at top of page shown
Selected Options & Supplies
Under the Options tab, checked the box "HP two-sided printing accessory (Duplex)
And then it worked as advertised
Why in the Hxxl HP would make a user go through that to activate a key feature of a printer is beyond me. But this printer has some quirks that HP has never fixed through these past 7 years of ownership and driver upgrades to match OSX version upgrades.
But that's life.

MacBook Air late 2010 very hot after installing Mountain Lion? Can i back to Lion?

My MacBook Air, late 2010, is very hot and the vans are going too speedy after installing Mountain Lion. Can I deinstalling Mountain Lion and returno to Lion? What are the steps for this deinstallation? Thank you.

Technically, there is a way, but it is definitely not something I would recommend, as downgrading isn't usually supported/encouraged.
I found a website that has instructions but it clearly states it's not for the inexpert, so proceed at your own risk. Also, I don't think you can download Lion from the AppStore anymore?
