  • I have an iMac and also a MacBook. All of a sudden my iMac does not recognise my Canon 500D camera even though I have downloaded 1000s of photographs from it via the USB port.  The MacBook recognises the camera immediately. Can anyone help?

    I have an iMac and also a MacBook. All of a sudden my iMac does not recognise my Canon 500D camera even though I have downloaded 1000s of photographs from it via the USB port.  The MacBook recognises the camera immediately. Can anyone help?

    Thank you for your reply.  I know I can use a card reader however I don't see why I should when importing directly from my camera has worked reliably for years.  The process I use is simply connecting the digital output from my camera to the USB port on the iMac, which has previously automatically opened iPhoto ready for the import.  Now all of a sudden my iMac does not recognise the camera.  However if I connect in the same way to my MacBook then iPhoto opens automatically on the MacBook, recognises the camera and is ready for importing.  So whilst I know I can use a reader, or my MacBook I want to use my iMac in the same way that I have for years.  I can only assume that the settings on the iMac may have changed, but I cannot verify this.

  • Why do certain web pages become corrupted even after I re-install Firefox even when I don't save my bookmarks?

    Why do certain web pages become corrupted even after I re-install Firefox even when I don't save my bookmarks?

    cor-el,
    Yes, I will....the next time it happens. In the past it has happened to AOL a number of times (which is usually my home page), as well as some Yuku message boards I visit...The History Channel A&E, Spike TV, all at various times.
    Unfortunately, this morning when it happened to one of the Yuku message board, I went directly to the tool bar, cleared my cache and cookies, without capturing a screenshot. Now , everything I've bookmarked is working properly but I will tell you it's a problem that I only experience on Firefox and not any other browsers, even when I've imported bookmarks from Firefox. It's been a fairly consistent problem for the past 6 months or so where I manually uninstalled, reinstalled Firefox (my preferred browser) and again, manually started bookmarking my sites all over again. It seems that when it happens most of the icons, graphics and photographs are missing, leaving me with only disorganized text.
    The next time that it occurs, I will take a screen shot and forward it to you.
    Thanks for you interest and help.

  • Has anybody found the fix for when audio stops working all of a sudden in FIrefox

    I DO NOT want to restart Firefox - and YES - I have RESET Firefox itself MANY TIMES - AND YES - I have the LATEST FIrefox - AND NO - I don't have any conflicting add-ins / extensions other than Fire FTP - and this happens ALL THE TIME - Does anybody know a workaround or a fix for this that won't mean restarting etc?

    ANY audio playing on ANY website through the Firefox browser - Chrome - is FINE so is IE - If I am plating audio through any other external source such as SoundForge or Adobe Audition - Fine - JUST through FIrefox - and this happens ALL THE TIME - ALL of a sudden - AND as i stated I DO NOT want to close my browser and restart - and have to save my tabs etc - AND again i have ALREADY reset Firefox - yet it still happens - Thanks

  • Why does firefox hang when opening and takes several minutes to come up?

    Why does Firefox hang for several minutes before coming up?

    I am also having this problem. When trying to reboot, I get an endless cycle of the BIOS screen, then "MACHINE ERROR", then back. Running the same dmesg command as snoxu results in a similar error message. I am forced to shutdown by holding the power button. Upon rebooting, I get an error message that all extensions have been turned off (using Gnome Shell). Then I have to logout and login.
    Shutting down and then restarting works fine.
    Additional info:
    System76 Gazelle Professional laptop
    syslinux, systemd, GDM, Gnome Shell

  • Firefox is very slow to load the program or any link I click on.

    Firefox and any link takes up to 40 seconds to load. Safari is lightning speed compared to Firefox. I have deleted history and changed to save 5 days, emptied cashe. Still very slow to load anything.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == i try to load any page or the program its self

    Ridiculously slow... and I am a long time user. But after a hard disc failure upon loading the latest version I sit and wait and wait and wait and wait. Wha....?

  • Firefox crashes for only one user on startup, even after reset; safe mode OK.

    Current crashes do not even produce crash reports, but two crashes from earlier today did yield:
    bp-7013aded-0644-47d8-9967-b48a12141013
    bp-cb495f8f-7ae2-4b48-86ff-63b6f2141013
    Starting in safe mode shows the same installed plugins and two extensions that are enabled in profiles for other users on this system. It is only this user's Firefox that crashes on startup, even after a reset.
    Have also uninstalled and re-installed Firefox. Again, it crashes on startup only for this user.
    Windows event viewer does have several entries for an Application Error:
    Faulting application name: plugin-container.exe, version: 32.0.3.5379, time stamp: 0x54224e6b
    Faulting module name: mozalloc.dll, version: 32.0.3.5379, time stamp: 0x54221b67
    Exception code: 0x80000003
    but it's not clear that these entries sync up with the crashes.
    This crashing on startup began this morning; no new software or any other system modifications (that I'm aware of) for several weeks now.

    The hardware acceleration setting appears to be the culprit. After unchecking the Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available" setting, Firefox no longer crashes on startup.
    Initially I'd glossed over this setting since it isn't an issue for any of the other users on this system. I'm still puzzled as to why this would be an issue only for this user, and what had changed as of this morning that set it off, but obviously there's something about their configuration which triggers this situation, even for the default plain vanilla Firefox profile!
    Thanks, cor-el!

  • Newer versions v slow to load pages. Reverting to 3.6

    Why is it that when I upgrade from 3.6x to something like version 10, the page loading time increases by up to 30 seconds?
    I have reverted to 3.6.28, and get a much faster response time.

    Did you try to test with a new Firefox profile?
    http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Managing-profiles Make a try and see if it's faster with FF12 than 3.6 (that's EOL now).

  • Firefox says I do not have latest adobe plugin even after I just installed it

    Just to get some stuff out of the way:
    '''I am running 64bit windows 7 with firefox 8.
    I downloaded the firefox version of flash, NOT the ie version.'''
    Today I was looking at my addons and realized my flash is out of date so I went to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ to download the newest version: 11.1.102.55.
    After this I exited firefox and any other applications that were using flash. (I made sure they were fully exited through task manager.)
    I installed the new flash and started firefox again.
    Sadly, webpages are now saying I do not have the latest flash and need to download and install it. Thinking this is weird, I checked my addons page, and flash plugin is not even showing up! Some how it didn't install...
    I tried installing again several times. No good.
    I downloaded both the 64bit flash uninstaller and the 32bit flash uninstaller. Uninstalled flash with both just in case. Reinstalled. Started firefox.... no good, still saying I don't have flash.
    At the moment I simply reverted back to flash 10.3 with an old installer. I'd really rather have the new flash, but it just isn't installing for some reason.

    Right now I am trying to reinstall Firefox which was somehow deleted and I keep getting the message that I can not use the new version I have downloaded. I have a power PC G5 and Mac OSX10.5.8. This is frustrating. What do I do?

  • When I am using Facebook, all of a sudden with Firefox 4, everything is SO slow. This has happened before. I want the old version back.

    Ever since I switched to Firefox 4, everything is slowing down! I hate this version. I want the old version back. I went to Facebook, it took so long to be able to do anything that I just gave up. This NEVER happened with the old version. I just want to get the old version back. I DO NOT LIKE this new version. Same kinds of problems I had once before when I tried it.

  • Why does my firefox all of a sudden stop downloading data? websites dont load on it anymore...

    im in aus, my net admittedly peaks and slows down alot, and at its best its still way behind 99% of the people on this forum. The times it refuses to load new pages and sits on 'connecting' is very frustrating and it cant be on my end because if i enter the same url's in IE it loads straight away. If i check my net conection status while this problem is occuring, i notice im only uploading/dling a tiny trickle of info at a slow rate, yet this instantly goes away when i start using IE.
    I've only started having problems with it a few days ago, do i need to reinstall firefox or something? i much prefer firefox over chrome or IE dont make me go back to them! ><

    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.

  • All of a sudden, the firefox browser appears as a small square in either the upper or lower part of the screen. Have no idea how to enlarge it. Have uninstalled and reinstalled numerous times. Windows Vista. Any suggestions?

    Firefox browser appears as a small square on the screen. If I click on it, it disappears.

    Try to restore the window via the right-click context menu menu of the icon on the Taskbar.<br />
    Once you have done that then open the system menu via Alt+Space and see if you can resize that window to make it larger. If that works then close Firefox to save the new window size.

  • All of a sudden my Firefox brower will not open correctly. It keeps telling me that it is trying to restore the previous session, but it doesnt' matter if I press the Restore button or the Close button to try again, it will not work. How can I fix this?

    After I hit the Close button and try to reopen it tells me that Firefox is currently already running and to either close it or restart my computer. Which I did, and it didn't do anything. Also, when I press the restore button, it will not restore, it just sits there. Please help, I hate Internet Explorer and I don't want to use it longer than I need to.

    It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    Delete the files sessionstore.js [2] and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    * Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    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.
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).
