Well, thanks for your help. My son came home and I put him in charge of fixing it while I cooked for him. He did have a heck of a time with it. He uninstalled everything and reinstalled and all is now well. Thank you

Network adapters adapters disable d after wakeup from sleep mode

Hi,
I am using Windows 7 32 Bit. Sometimes Wireless, ethernet adaptors are disabled after wake up from sleep mode. Kindly guide me how to identify the root cause. What are the logs should I check refer to find the problem.
Regards,
Boopathi S

It might be a power saving option.
Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Power Options\Edit Plan Settings
change plan settings--then change advanced power settings
Look for settings related to your Wireless card and/or your Ethernet adapters.

Cannot open firefox - or reinstall it - after today's update

After updating Firefox today to the newest version, when opening Firefox, I now get this error message: Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access them...I cannot open firefox. I downloaded it again, and when try to RUN, I get the exact same message. Please advise.

I uninstalled FF through control panel, deleted app files and exe. Then downloaded and installed latest FF from Mozilla. Works great now!

I cannot open firefox from my desktop or start menu

I cannot open firefox from my desktop or start menu. this happened last night. IE will open and functions properly. I have the latest version of firefox installed. thank you

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, 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.

Also do a malware check with several malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.
Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
All these programs have free versions.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

I suddenly cannot open Firefox

I turned on my windows vista computer and it would not start properly so it resolved the problems, then started up.
Since then i cannot open Firefox, i click on the icon and nothing opens. I have tried shutting down/restarting but still i does not work.

There is a problem fairly soon in the process if profile manager will not start.
You could try in Firefox's [[safe-mode]] next you could try in Windows safemode by using the F8 key.
From what you say I am wondering if you have done a Windows restore of some form and recreated Firefox that way. Firefox does not always restore properly from Windows. You may be looking at re-installing Firefox.
If you consider re-installing do NOT take any options from Windows or Firefox that offers to delete personal settings because that will destroy things like passwords and bookmarks.

I cannot open firefox. I am told that it has crashed. I've sent reports but haven't heard back.

I cannot open firefox in safe mode. I have to use internet explorer.

Have you been using Windows System Restore ? that can cause Firefox problems and sometimes problems similar to yours. (Bug702045)
I wonder if more than just the profile may be corrupted in such circumstances? '''If '''the new profile does not work '''try a clean reinstall''' of Firefox 8

Cannot open Firefox. Error Platform version 1.9.2.15 is not compatible with minVersion =1.9.2.16 maxVersion =1.9.2.16

Received an update yesterday that turned off Norton before installing itself. Now cannot open Firefox. Get error message.

This issue can happen if the updater wasn't able to update all the files.
Do a clean (re-)install:
* Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
* Firefox 4.0: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Don't remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere (not in the Firefox program folder) and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

My MacBook Pro won't reconnect to my Wi-FI automatically after waking from sleep mode

Hello, everyone. Since I updated to Yosemite, my MacBook Pro won't reconnect to my Wi-FI automatically after waking from sleep mode.
Does anyone know how to fix that?
Thanks in advance,
Arthur.

Hi, arthurpacifico.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here are a couple troubleshooting steps that I would recommend trying to see if it corrects this issue.
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Reset your computer’s PRAM
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
If the issue persists, try the troubleshooting steps I have attached below.
Symptom: After restarting or waking from sleep, my computer might not connect to the Internet
After waking from sleep or starting up, your computer may not show that it is connected to a Wi-Fi network.
After start or wake, your computer may indicate that it is connected to a network, but does not connect to the Internet.
Solution
Use these steps if your computer does not automatically connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
Check your TCP/IP settings in the Network pane of the System Preferences. Click the "Renew DHCP lease" button
Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu.
Choose Network from the View menu.
Select Wi-Fi, then click the Advanced button in the lower-left hand corner of the screen.
Click the TCP/IP tab from the top of the screen.
Click the "Renew DHCP lease" button.
Select the Wi-Fi tab and view your Preferred Networks list.
Select each network and click the minus sign to remove those networks from your Preferred Networks list.
Click OK and close the Network preferences.
Remove your stored network passwords using the Keychain Access Utility.Restart your computer.
Open Keychain Access from /Applications/Utilities. Your window will look like this:
Remove your AirPort network passwords from the login keychain: Select the "login" keychain from the Keychain sidebar. Click the "Kind" column to order the list of keychain items by their type. Remove all entries of the kind: "AirPort network password".
Remove your AirPort network passwords from the System keychain: Select the "System" keychain from the Keychain sidebar. Click the "Kind" column to order the list of keychain items by their type. Remove all entries of the kind: "AirPort network password".
Note: The above steps will remove your Wi-Fi network passwords. If you do not know them, or if your network does not use passwords to restrict access, you should contact your network administrator.
Join your Wi-Fi network. You will need to enter your password for your network again if it requires one.

July 18,2011 AOL toolbar update install. I cannot open Firefox to uninstall the update or the toolbar because everytime I open Firefox it freezes and jams up. I have to shut down my computer as it will not even respond to force quit command

July 18,2011 AOL toolbar update install. I cannot open Firefox to uninstall the update or the toolbar because everytime I open Firefox it freezes and jams up. I have to shut down my computer as it will not even respond to force quit command. I cannot read my mail (aol) or access my bookmarks all for work.

Try the Firefox SafeMode. 
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' 
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
# You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
# Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. 
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
You should be able to uninstall that AOL toolbar extension while running in the Firefox SafeMode.

Please help, I cannot open Firefox at all! crash ID: cf9fa02c-586d-4033-999b-a7a242110501 and Signature: mcffplg.dll@0x1cb20

It happened a few weeks a go, I have re-installed the Firefox but still didn't work. I can only open Internet Explorer. I cannot open Firefox and Google Chrome at all!. I am using windows 7.

The crash is reporting a problem with the McAfee Site Advisor (mcffplg.dll), try uninstalling the McAfee Site Advisor and see if you can then start Firefox.

Freeze after waking from sleep mode on MBP retina

After waking from sleep mode my MBP retina freezes for 3-5 seconds. Mouse and touchpad don't work. I wonder if it's mountain lion problem or hardware problem. Anyone faced this?

Just got a brand new model and OS X 10.8.2 (12C3012) and face the same issue, almost everytime it sleeps for too long. This is not a 3rd type SDD, this is a standard Apple SSD. I turned off the BT, I removed the almost every option from the battery saver mode. The current test is to disable the power nap - I will let you all know the result in a few hours.

Black screen after waking from sleep mode - Compaq Presario CQ5110F

My mother's computer has been having the problem listed in the subject -- after waking from sleep mode, the monitor just stays black, and won't come back. After trying everything I could find online, I eventually found the bios update which claims to fix the exact issue. The problem is that I guess my mother had opted to upgrade to Windows 7, while the bios update seems to only work for Windows Vista, as I get the following error message: "Your system does not meet the minimum requirements for this update. Update has been canceleld. (9998)." I've tried running the update in Vista compatibility mode, with no luck. I've tried using a different monitor, I've updated all the drivers, Windows Updates are all current, I've cleared CMOS. Any idea on how to fix this? It's very recent; only for about the past 2 weeks has this been happening, while we've had the computer for over 3 years. It's quite a waste of energy to keep it on all day.

Hello liltwix,
When taking your computer out of safe mode the screen just remains black, is that correct? I will try to help you with this issue.
I understand you upgraded from Vista to 7, was that when the issue started or has the computer had windows 7 installed for some time before this problem started?
Please respond back at your earliest convenience.
Thanks

My zero Key isn't working after waking from sleep mode. This is a real problem for me because my password contains a zero

My zero Key isn't working after waking from sleep mode. This is a real problem for me because my password contains a zero. I don't recall spilling anything or jamming it just that it worked before I closed the computer and wasn't after I woke it up.
I would like to fix the key but if that's not possible right away , Is there a way to reset my password without being able to type with a key thats in it?

Start by swapping the keyboard. You don't need to spend a fortune, and handy to have spare. USB cables can be bad even new.
When I had some problems Apple wanted to blame the mouse, keyboard, cable, but in the end I found
A. run Disk Warrior
B. Corrupt pref or conflict with version of Hardware Monitor and other background tasks
