After upgrading desktop and taskbar icons indicate URL cant be found upon first clicking them, then page loads

I have desktop and task bar icons for some web pages. After the latest upgrade when I click the icons I get "Windows cannot find (the url listed in the shortcut) Make sure the typed the name correctly.... and seconds later the web page opens up. I do get the web pages but the error message and having to click OK to get it off is annoying Recreating the shortcuts does not fix it

The default of the pref network.http.max-connections has been increased from 30 to 256 in Firefox 6+ versions.
Try to decrease the value of the pref <b>network.http.max-connections</b> from 256 to 30 as used in Firefox 3 versions.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) 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 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.

  • Windows 7, when adobe downloaded and installed all desktop and taskbar icons become adobe icons, why

    Windows 7 operating system, when Adobe downloaded and installed all desktop and task bar icons have the Adobe icon and will not open, why does this happen?

    to answer your questions, i)  tried installing both
    ii) Tried 9 and 10
    iii)  Free version of both
    iv)  No!
    I turned off the anti virus but the same thing happened, I'm getting tired of downloading and then having to uninstall Adobe.  There must be an answer, something on the computer is not right.  I had problems with a CD drive my computer stopped reading it,   Replaced the CD burner and it still would not read, took it to be repaired and was a faulty registry which the guy at the shop fixed but the problem with adobe is only since I had the computer fixed last week or is this just a coincidence?

  • After upgrade - desktop changed, files, icons, etc. disappeared

    I just updated to 10.4.7 from 10.3.9 and after a restart, my desktop is totally changed. Program alias icons, files, folders, background, etc. - everything - is gone. I now have the default blue screen with standard LARGE program icons in the huge dock at the bottom of the screen. What happened? Where is my stuff? Help!
    Thanks
    Colleen

    Open two Finder windows and arrange them so that both the Users folder and the folder containing your data are visible. In the Users folder, rename the folder which currently has the house icon to temp, and then drag the folder with your user name into Users. Log out and back in.

  • Desktop (and other icons) change after Skype updat...

    When I updated Skype to version 7.5 yesterday, some of my desktop and taskbar (also Start Menu) icons immediately disappeared, only to be replaced with standard Windows icons. This involved mostly Microsoft and Adobe programs, including Outlook, Word, Excel, Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat, but also Google Earth and QuickTime Player.
    I carried out a Icon cache rebuild, but this did not restore the original icons, resulting instead in standard .exe icons or blank (i.e. white) icons. When I tried to change the icon for these programs, I got messages similar to this one (for Adobe Reader):
    Windows cannot find file %SystemRoot%\Installer{AC76BA86-7AD7-1033-7B44-AC0F074E4100}\SC_Reader.ico.
    Since then I've tried several system restores, and while these have always restored my icons, Skype then no longer works. I've also uninstalled Skype (which was a battle in itself!) and reinstalled the latest version, but the icon problem has returned. The generic icons DO open the programs without problems, but I cannot easily distinguish between the various Microsoft Office applications and Adobe programs.
    As things currently stand, I can have either a working Skype or my desktop (taskbar etc.) icons, but not both. There must be some way around this. I am sure that Windows Installer is in some way involved, but can't undertand how updating or deleting Skype could affect it.

    The issue is still related to the Windows installer.   If you keep Windows up-to-date it should resolve any Windows installer issues with updates that came out after Aug 2014 (unless this a new Windows update issue).  A Windows update at that time create a similar issue due to upgrading the Windows Installer then resolved them in later patches.   The only way to notice the issue was to install any programs that utilized the Windows installer (like Skype).  Some people uninstalled the update but it was a temporary fix (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2918614).  So either the issue you are having is related to that Windows update or possibly a newer one.
    You can try this in case it helps but it's generally for normal shortcuts.  
    http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/49819-icon-cache-rebuild.html
    If that doesn't help the only way to repair registered shortcuts automatically is to perform a repair install of the applications that are affected (via add/remove programs or programs and features in the control panel).  This will restore the individual package to icon association that broke.  Again these advertised shortcuts are tied to the Windows installer and registry.  When you create a shortcut to the exe of a program (like msword.exe) it won't have this type of problem and will still display the normal shortcut even if you don't perform a repair of the application.  If you still want to repair the issue a repair install would be best.
    The latest version for download from Skype is still 7.5.x.102
    Skype 7.5 (exe version)

  • After upgrading to Yosemite web icons in Safari bookmark list have disappeared

    After upgrading to Yosemite web icons in Safari bookmarks have disappeared. Anybody know how to reset this?

    Hi ..
    The webpage icons database may be corrupted as a result of the upgrade.
    Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following:
    ~/Library/Safari/WebpageIcons.db
    Click Go then move the WebpageIcons.db file to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari.
    It may take up to a day for your webpage icons to re populate.

  • Removing Desktop and Computer Icons in Finder Windows

    I have 25 eMacs at a school and I want to remove the Desktop and Computer icons in the Finder so students cant access the Library or other folders.
    I went under Finder Preferences and checked off HD, Computer, Desktop and others, but they still appear. I'm using Simple Finder with access to only My Applications, Documents and a Shared folder. That is all I want them to see or access.
    Any ideas?? Thanks for the time and affort!!
    Dave

    If you only provide them access to the mentioned folders, then everything else is read-only. Although they may be able to see the files and folders they will not have access to them. That's the role of permissions.
    As for displaying the HD, Computer, Desktop, etc. you need to disable those in each account.

  • Cannot locate wireless Airport hubs in Airfoil after upgrading modem and router?

    Cannot locate wireless Airport hubs in Airfoil after upgrading modem and router?  Just replaced modem and router-Airport is working for internet connection, but I cannot locate the two additional sites in my home to feed music to.  Each is connected with a Apple wireless hub.  Thanks

    To work in this configuration, you just need to setup the AX as a bridge.
    To set up the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) as a bridge, using the AirPort Admin Utility, connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, make these settings:
    Network tab
    - Distribute IP addresses (unchecked)
    - Apply the new setting.

    Hi,
    If you mean to customize the desktop, you can use themes, desktop backgrounds, window colors, and screen savers to personalize your desktop.   
    If you want some free themes and desktop backgrounds to use, there are lots to choose from in the
    Personalization Gallery.

  • After app update the app icon is gone.cant open it anymore.no possibility to connect to iTunes on laptop.is there another solution to get the app open again.cuz it's a office app and I need it.

    After app update the app icon is gone.cant open it anymore.no possibility to connect to iTunes on laptop.is there another solution to get the app open again.cuz it's a office app and I need it.

    Try a reset or restart.
    If the app is still missing, download again via iTunes or connect to the computer and sync it back from iTunes on the computer.
    Frankly, in the time it took to sign up and post here the app could have already been re synced from iTunes on the computer.

  • After upgrading to Lion, my Canon 7d can not be found.

    After upgrading to Lion, my Canon 7d can not be found.  I have used the USB connection to connect to my camera for several years with no problems, until now.  I have reset the SMC, by powering off the computer and unplugging everything for approx 30 minutes.  There are no new drivers available and any assistance will be appreciated.

    I was having the same issue after upgrading to Lion OSX. I searched the web and found many people had the same problem but no solution so...
    I called Canon and they told me to run 'Image Capture' its part of the Canon Software Suite so you should have it and then try downloading the pictures like you usually do. I use 'Image Browser' and with 'Image Capture' running in the background it works perfectly now.
    Hope this helps!!

    My regards,

    Hi alexeiuk,
    There was an issue with Firefox 9 that caused this type of behavior. It has been fixed in Firefox 10 though. You might want to try the Firefox 9 version of [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/latest-firefox-issues#os=mac&browser=fx9 this article] to see if the steps work for you.
    You could also try an add-on to customize your favicons:

    Cor-el offers some useful tips as well:
    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • How do I get rid of embedded adobe reader process windows and taskbar icons?

    In the lastest versions of Adobe reader I've come across the issue of finding an adobe task bar icon and a small adobe reader process window for each PDF document that I have open witin an Internet explorer tab. This is driving me crazy. At first I thought it was jut an issue with the machine that I'm on, but I have now seen this happen in multiple computers. Anyone have any ideas on how to keep these from clogging my screen and taskbar?
    I am using Windows 7 Ultimate x64, Internet Explorer version 10.0.9200.16686, and Adobe Reader 11.0.4.

    Group similar buttons on the taskbar
    Taskbar buttons represent open programs on your computer. When you have several programs  open at once, the taskbar might seem crowded with buttons. To help organize the taskbar and save space, you can group similar taskbar buttons so that all of the open files from one program are grouped into one taskbar button, like this:
    Grouped taskbar buttons  
       Open Taskbar and Start Menu Properties by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking Appearance and Personalization, and then clicking Taskbar and Start Menu. 
    Select the Group similar taskbar buttons check box so that it is checked. (To turn off grouping, clear the Group similar taskbar buttons check box.)
