After using Firefox for quite some time,I am now unable to connect to the internet using Firefox.I get a pop up message stating that Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections.How to fix this?
The message also states that I should check the proxy settings to make sure thaey are correct-I have no idea what this means,and says also to contact the network administer to make sure the proxy server is working.This is my home computer so I guess I am the administer.If it is any help I run system mechanic 10.5,but cannot find anything in system mechanic that I recognize as helpful.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

My daughter cannot get onto the internet through firefox and the message she is getting is 'that firefox is configured to use a proxy server which is refusing connections.'
How can we fix it. Thank youYou can find the connection settings in Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection
If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select "No Proxy"
See "Firefox connection settings":
* [[Firefox cannot load websites but other programs can]]
* [[Server not found]] -

I have 3 computers...Window PC, PowerBook G3 (old) and MacBook Pro. I use firefox for all of them and have for quite some time. Is there a way for them all to use the same toolbar? Each of them have differnet bookmark/ settings etc.,
Open Media Encoder and add your Sequences:
File > Add Premiere Pro Sequence
Navigate to your Premiere Project and select it in the list.
You can then select multiple Sequences from the Project (Ctrl+Click)
and load them all at once into Media Encoder and apply
the same encoding preset to all Sequences at the same time. -
Been using an ipad 2 without passcode for quite some time. While upgrading to ios 7, I enabled Find Iphone on the Ipad. It asked for passcode and I gave one. Now I forgot it. Connected it iTunes (on my windows 8 system) with which I sync and that too required an update as old version of itunes cannot read ios7. Problem is itunes does not want to get updated. Some vague error on not having right to write a file in ProgramData folder wheras as an admin i have full rights. Next I downloaded the install file from itunes site - no luck it would not install. Then I tried to remove itunes - it does not want to go. Am at wits end... Is the option only to restore it as a new Ipad?
Place the iPhone into recovery mode and restore the iPhone with iTunes on your computer.

Have searched Forums for quite some time now. Cannot find a correct answer to: how do I prevent my old email address from appearing as the "from:" address when I use a "send this" link on a webpage/news article. The email window opens and automatically inserts my old Hotmail address instead of the Yahoo address I've used for a long time. (The drop-down won't let me change it or delete it.) Thanks.
Do you get a drop down list with suggestions if you clear that "from" field and click elsewhere on that page to move the focus off that field and then double-click again in that field or start typing the first letters of that unwanted email address?
Use these steps to remove saved (form) data from a drop down list:
#Click the (empty) input field on the web page to open the drop down list
#Highlight an entry in the drop down list
#Press the Delete key (on Mac: Shift+Delete) to remove it.

Ipad receiving emails but they do not come on to the mac for quite some time
Hi My Ipad is receiving my emails, the alert sounds, but the Mac doesn't receive them for quite some time after, is there a reason for this and how can I overcome the problem.I've just sent two emails and the response to both are on the Ipad, which is next to my computer, and I can see the Mac isn't showing anything in my inbox!!!!
Regards
RichardHi Thanks to everyone for their help, I've checked what has been advised, for some unknown reason both Ipad ans Mac receiving emails at the same time. I do apply rules to my incomming mail, due to the fact of persistent male medical tablets advice !!!!!! from certain sites and also people needing money! Idid check there and deleted the last rule, whether something I did in that particular rule gave this problem I will never know. Do you think adding rules in mail preferences is the correct way to stop unwanted mail or is there a better way?

Hello, my MacBook Pro has been running slow for quite some time now and it's frustrating. I hope you'll be able to help me. I've read this thread and figured out I should open a new one, so here it is.

I am trying to activate LR6 on a laptop that will not be connected to the internet. I have clicked on the link for offline activation, but it says to follow the instructions till it says "having trouble connecting to the internet". I never get there. How do I get it to generate the code that I can take to an internet enabled device so I can validate it?

Hi , I want ask you about imessage some time my account not availability and signal for calling some time no signal on my iPhone only search the signal ,
I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

First, unplug the modem, for at least 10 secs., then unlpug you airport/ wifi/ then try to reconnect.
If it it does not not work, reconnect your modem, then reconnect your network utilites, use assistance. -
I have recently purchaced an ipad 2 16gb wifi and somebody told me if i wanted to use 3g or connect to the internet whaere i cant get and wifi i can connect my iphone to my ipad and use my iphone 3g is this true?
Yes, that is the Tetheringn or HotSpot option. Some models have this. You will have to set up your phone to do this, and your carrier will likely charge you an extra fee for the tethering service.

I have the interactive student mathematics CD for the Cambridge IGCSE Mathematics (0607) Extended from Haese & Harris Publications that requires Adobe Reader and includes a 'Self-help Tutor". I can open all the features using Adobe Reader except the Self-Tutor. I get a pop-up message saying that: I require an app to open "26Unitary Method.app". I can find no mention of this app online so can someone please help me?
Thank you.Thank you for the prompt reply. The CD says that it needs Adobe Reader (and it does read the 'Text book'), but it is not opening the interactive elements. Great!
I am doing as you suggest and contacting Haese directly. Again, many thanks. -
My computer was dropped yesterday and it will not turn on past this gray screen that tells me to reboot it, but everytime I reboot it, it just goes back to that same screen and tells me to do it again. Anyone know how to fix this?
When you jar or drop a hard drive when it's operating the heads strike the platters and ruin sectors and the data on them.
Your getting the spinning wheel because the OS has been damaged and/or quite possibly the drive.
You'll first have to determine if it's a hardware issue
Do #3 Hardware Test and #5 Disk Utlity Repair Disk/Permissions here (check the SMART status)
Step by Step to fix your Mac
If the drive is fine and you don't have a recent copy of your data off the machine then also do this
Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
Then proceed with fixing the damaged software, likley by #8 your problem will be fixed.
