All of a sudden my online radio 1.1 community toolbar is missing

What happen to my online radio 1.1 community toolbar?
All of a sudden it does not load when I open Firefox

Hi movem,
Are you saying that Apple has changed the URL for every internet radio station in the entire iTunes radio station library?... or are you suggesting that just some of the internet radio stations in my playlist changed their own URLs?
It seems unlikely that it happens to be that every single internet radio station in my playlist of a hundred radio stations all happened to change thier URLs at the same time, since all of the stations in my playlist will not play from that playlist.
When I went through and found some of the radio stations in the giant default internet radio station library in iTunes, I found some of my old ones that were in my playlist and they play fine and they can be put in to a new playlist and they play fine there too, but the very same stations still will not play from my old original playlist.
So it makes sense if you are saying that Apple has somehow changes all the URLs for all the radio stations in iTunes, because that make sense since they all play from the main radio library.
But, otherwise, to say that all the radio stations in my playlist happened to change their own URLs at the same time, that would be a bit far fetched.
Did you get some news from Apple that this happened, one way or the other?
PS: I'm having a hard time finding a few of the stations that were in my previous, original playlist as well... some of them have either disappeared, changed categories, gone off the air or changed their names.
Thanks,
numetro

  • All of a sudden I have radio over my sites?

    Recently I discovered on line movies at sites that play silent movies or old ones like Classic cinema on line, so to my surprise this evening when I turned on my computer speakers I have the woman blabbering news and now and then says something about twitter and face book?  I can't see any way to get rid of it. Even if I click on a movie to watch it keeps playing right over the movie sound track.  I just heard her say "Trending Now" again, that must be the handle it uses.  Anyone know what the heck is going on or how to get rid of it.

    Not that it makes me any happier to have my sound taken over, but right after I wrote the second note it stopped? I would still be interested to know if anyone has had this or knows how to prevent or stop it?

  • How do I replace bookmark bar that was lost when a new Mozilla Fox Start page suddenly appeared with a Zone Alarm Community Toolbar, and nothing I have so far tried, working with "Show all Bookmarks", works ("Unable to process the backup file).

    My current version is 6.0.2. A box appeared a few days ago informing me of an update to 7 (x?). I declined for the time being.
    Then a Start Page just showed up missing the bookmark tool bar. I tried to import a bar from another browser. Nothing showed up. Then, I went to "Help". First, I clicked on "About Firefox" where I was informed of an update. This time, I tried it. When I clicked on "Apply Update", I received a message; 'Update could not be installed" despite there being no other Firefox browsers running.
    I went back to "Help" and clicked on "Firefox Help". A page came up with the URL in place, but the page would not load ("Cannot find server at support.mozilla.com"). After several clicks on "Try Again" with the same result, I copied the URL and pasted it into a different browser, from which I am now working.
    Before sending this question, I tried the two procedures ("Manual Backup" and "Restoring From Backup") found on Bookmarks/Show All Bookmarks/Import And Backup/Restore, using both "stored backups" from Mozilla's Profile folder and "Choose a file", as well as Bookmarks/Show ... /Backup. In each case, the response was, "Unable to process the backup file".
    I had previously tried another method I found on Google which involved copying and saving a Mozilla backup file (this is the file I used in the procedure above - "Choose a File") found in the C:/Documents And Settings/.../Profile Folder, then renaming the original file "backup.HTML" and saving it in a folder one level up from its original location. The Bookmark bar was to show up after shutting down and reopening Mozilla - it never happened. I replaced the original backup file.
    It occurred to me to locate the Bookmark File for this browser (Chrome) and using it in the "Choose a File" method, referred to above. But there is no extension included in the file name, and I was afraid to try it.
    I'm out of ideas. Is there something else to try?

    Check that the Bookmarks Toolbar is visible and that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is still placed on the Bookmarks Toolbar.
    If the menu bar is hidden then press F10 or hold down the Alt key, that should make the "Menu Bar" appear.
    Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
    * Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout" (Linux, Windows)
    * Check that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
    * If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette in the customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
    * If you do not see the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" or other items that are missing in the toolbar palette or on a toolbar then click the "Restore Default Set" button

  • All of a sudden, if I go to the Bookmarks Toolbar and click on a site, the sit appears in the Sidebar, not in a tab. How do I fix this?

    I was browsing today, and noticed that my Bookmarks Sidebar was missing. I got it to reappear, but now when I try to open a bookmarked site, the site will appear in the narrow space once where the bookmarks were. Any idea as to what happened and what I can do to fix it? I have an iMac, running OSX 10.5.8.

    Opening in the side bar is the default for bookmarks that are created via a link or button on a website.<br />
    You can check the Properties of a bookmark via the right-click context menu in the side bar (Ctrl+B; Cmd+B on Mac).<br />
    In the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks) you can click the More button in the Details pane at the bottom right.<br />
    Make sure that "Load this bookmark in the side bar" is not selected.<br />

  • All of a sudden my iTunes 10.1.1.4 will not connect to internet radio

    Hi all,
    All of a sudden yesterday, my iTunes 10.1.1.4 will not connect to internet radio. It has otherwise been working fine for almost two years.
    My internet connection is working fine for web browsing and email.
    I ran the iTunes diagnositcs and it showed me how to go in to the Windows Firewall settings to check to see if there was a connection... there was already one for iTunes in the list of accepted connections. Just to be sure, I created a new iTunes connection exception and it didn't help.
    The iTunes diagnostics test shows all information as being normal except this info, pasted in below, about the Firewall test...
    Firewall Information
    Windows Firewall is on.
    iTunes is NOT enabled in Windows Firewall.
    Connection attempt to Apple web site was successful.
    Connection attempt to browsing iTunes Store was successful.
    Connection attempt to purchasing from iTunes Store was successful.
    Connection attempt to iPhone activation server was successful.
    Connection attempt to firmware update server was unsuccessful.
    The network connection timed out.
    But this information is partially incorrect, according to the Windows Firewall settings themselves.  My Windows Firewall settings show that iTunes is indeed enabled in Windows Firewall.
    I can access the iTunes store, but there doesn't seem to be any test in the iTunes diagnostics that makes it test to see if it is connecting to the iTunes internet radio server.
    Is there possibley a current problem happening with the iTunes internet radio connection?
    Thanks for any suggestions.

  • I have been listening to iTunes radio for a few months.  All of a sudden, I don't get any sound when music is playing, however, if an ad comes on, I can hear that.  Any suggestions?

    I have been listening to iTunes radio for a few months.  All of a sudden I cannot hear any music stations.  I can hear the ads when they come on, but not the music.  Any suggestions?

    Both Firefox and IE have the same problem. The cursor instead of being a finger when pointing to a link is still an arrow. However I can click anywhere on the page and an ad will pop up. I have eliminated all unwanted bars in Firefox, I ran Malwarebytes until it came out clean. I also have AVG which had detected a few items on it's own. But when I get into Firefox I still have exactly the same problem. Now it will not let me download Browser Safeguard. Usually after one click the pointer returns to normal for a few screens. When I try to click to download Browser Safeguard it keeps bringing up different ads or it tries to get me to upgrade Firefox or some other browser helper program which I know are all BS tactics to get me to load their junk again. PLease help I'm an engineer and pretty good with PCs but this one has me beat at least so far.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600a all of a sudden is not recognized by only my computer in the house

    Hi, I have 4 laptops in my house. We have all been connected wirelessly to my HP printer for over a year. All of a sudden, for some reason, my computer no longer sees the printer. I have an ASUS. I run Windows 7 with Windows Firewall. My router is a 3 month old Linksys EA3500. I can print from every other printer in the house, and I can also print from my Android Phone. However, when I try to print from my laptop, it now says that it is detecting printer has been turned off.  I have done everything I can think of to fix this. The only changes I recently made were installing Webroot AV program. I can't be 100% certain, but i'm pretty sure I have printed since that installation, and all of the other computers on my network are using Webroot as well with no issues. Hoping for some help. Here's what I've done so far:
    Tried troubleshooting printer via computer. It's gone through the spool service check and whatever else the standard troubleshooting does. It said something about my printer being turned off. It definitely was not, but I unplugged and restarted just to be sure. No fix.
    Noticed IP changed on printer and thought maybe something with static vs dynamic (don't know much about this) so went to "update IP address" on my laptop and updated the info. Checked the router settings info by entering printer's ip in browser. Printer shows connected and ready and all looks good. I pinged the ip and got results. Mac filtering is not enabled so I don't need to deal with that. SSID is not hidden. The 802.11 configuration says that the network type is WPA-PSK with WPA2 and AES selected for encryption. Same as it always has been.
    Double checked to make sure printer was recognizable by my firewall. It is on the accepted list.
    Last resort: I uninstalled the printer software and deleted the device from my laptop. Attempted reinstall, but when it gets to the part where it's supposed to search for the printer it says unable to find. I enter the IP address from the printer and it still cannot find. I enter the host name and it still can't find. Since I uninstalled everything, I can no longer install the printer at all.
    Went to drivers on line and tried using the install via online option. same results. "unable to find printer".
    I unpugged the printer from the wall again, this time for over an hour, hoping it would reset but realizing this probabaly isn't the issue  since every other laptop can print in my house.
    Tried to connect ethernet cable and install printer that way. Plugged one end into router and other into printer as directed on troubleshooting tips. Ran Disk software and it doesn't install the printer. IP address changes on printer when I use ethernet and I am entering new ip accordingly.
    Reset my modem and restarted. Reinitialized my router and then used the software to reconfigure it. did the standard 'wait ten seconds and plug everything back in and reboot computer'. No fix.
    Checked my wireless network adapter setting to make sure I have most updated drivers. I do.
    Deleted every single thing that relates to my printer in every folder and in regedit.
    Tried reinstalling printer both wirelessly and with ethernet. Still unable to find printer either way. 
    I have changed no settings that I can think of since the printer last worked a few weeks ago. As I said, every other computer prints perfectly. The only thing I can think that's different is that all the oher laptops are running Windows 8 and I'm still on 7, but that didn't matter before, and I can print from the HP print software on my phone.
    Please somebody tell me what I'm missing here. I'm going bonkers. Thank you so much to everyone who takes the time to reply on this support forum.

    Well you have done quite a bit.  Let's try here if you haven't.
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02915280&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&lc...
    Then let's give this a shot.
    These settings are for setting up your wireless printer to stay connected to your router, keep wireless devices better connected and makes your router secure and hack proof.
    1. Set a static IP in the printer (click here) outside the DHCP range of the router (check your manual).
       This is for Linksys routers but can be used for all routers. Verify your DHCP range and change this
       first if needed. More Wireless Printing help is here (Windows solution 4, static IP).
    2. Verify in the printer that 'Auto Off' is disabled.  Use the Embedded Web Server (EWS) by going to the
       printers IP address in your browsers address bar, click Settings Tab/Auto Off. Or use the Printer
       Assistant, Printer Home Page (EWS).
    3. If the printer supports and has IPv6 enabled, turn off IPv6 in the printer.
    4. If needed and you assigned a static IP address, try using 8.8.8.8 for the Manual DNS server and
         8.8.4.4 preferred DNS server.
    In the router: (Refer to your router manual for information)
    5. Use a fixed wireless channel like 1, 6 or 11, never 'auto', try channel 1 first then the rest. 
    6. Set router to 20Mhz only, or 145Mbps depending on router. 
    7. Always use WPA2-AES (Personal) encryption, but you can try ‘mixed’ mode. 
    8. Disable WPS and never use it and disable UPnP for the routers security. Nobody can hack your
       system now and helps with wireless connectivity (if you want to know why, search the web).
    9. If you have a dual band router (2.4Ghz and 5.0Ghz bands), make sure the SSID’s are NOT the same,
       they must be different for all bands, even for any Guest networks.
    10. SSID broadcast must be enabled.
    11. Save all settings. Power off both, wait 2 mins.  Power on router wait 2 mins. 
    12. Power on printer and verify it reconnects to router.

  • Windows 7 Music Library doesn't show some of my album art all of a sudden. No solutions found!!

    So my music files in my music folder on the computer still doesn't show the album art. some of the art covers still exist on the music files but newly downloaded and some music files that existed don't show the album art anymore.
    I've tried most of the solutions online but none of them solved the problem. I don't think it's the media player because when I play it on the media player it shows the album art for the music. And I also cleared the cashe in the mediaplayer folder. There
    must be something with the system because the folder showed the cover art before but all of a sudden it stopped displaying them. 
    I don't know what's wrong with it...is there something that makes the music album art not show all of a sudden and the album art doesn't show for the newly downloaded music as well...

    Hi haydnan
    It may be a problem of Windows 7 Explorer. First you can try all the different explorer views, title, Large icon..
    If there is no effect, you can try to the following methods.
    In Windows Explorer
    1. left click on the mail folder where your music is stored and select it.
    2. Now right click and go to “properties”.
    3. Now click “advanced”.
    4. Put a check in the “Allow files in this folder to have contents indexed in addition to file properties”.
    5.Click ”OK”.
    6.Click”Apply”.
    7. Click “OK” to apply changes to this folder. Sub folders and files.
    Now go to your music library and see if it works.

  • All of a sudden I can no longer connect to iTunes store. There is no error message - it just hangs.

  • Macbook wifi not working all of a sudden

    So while doing a fresh install of ML on my unibody MB I ran into a snag just a few moments ago.  Everything installed no problem, I updated to 10.8.1 yesterday and all was well.  Today I installed a few other apps (skype, iLife 09) with iLife requiring a reboot.  Once rebooted I was unable to get a wifi signal. 
    At first the little icon at the top bar was blank indicating wifi was turned off.  I selected turn wifi ON and it now says looking for networks and after a few moments it fills the blank icon with grayed out lines, yet it never finds a network to connect to, just keeps looking.  In system prefereces/network the wifi status shows to be OFF.  Pressing "turn wifi on" next to the status does nothing.  The button lights up blue when pressing it but it has no effect on the network status.  Network Name shows a grayed out "Wi-Fi Off".  I have done several re-boots and several shut downs and battery removals all without solving the issue.  Using network diagnostic does not turn the wifi on either, just gets stuck on scanning.  Connecting an ethernet cable gets me online no problem.
    My other mobile devices indicate that my wifi network is alive and well.  This led to me to think that perhaps the hardware crapped out, which would be strange that it did that all of a sudden.  So I took the hard drive out and put it my SSD that resided in my MB until a few days ago (with everything still intact on the drive).  Booted up and wifi is working fine.  The only difference is that the SSD is running 10.8.  I was thinking of updating it to 10.8.1 to see if that kills the wifi but I did the update on the other drive yesterday and had no problems with it after a reboot.  The problem started today after the skype and iLife install and reboot.  In other words the MB ran 10.8.1 fine for 24 hrs and I find it strange that iLife or Skype would cause this issue but that is when the problem started, so I'm stumped. 
    Is there a way to force wifi to turn on in terminal?  Or any other suggestions?  Anyway to go back to 10.8 or do I have to re-install everything from scratch?
    Thanks, Mark

  • Can't receive email all of a sudden

    Hi
    I have had my iMac for a year now. I'm using system 10.7.5. I have had no problems with it at all until now. About a month ago I suddenly stopped receiving emails in one of my accounts. All the others worked fine. I didn't make any changes to it at all. All of sudden, when I clicked on the Send and Receive Mail button, the little wheel just turned and turned to the right of the email account and nothing happened. I called my ISP who told me everything was working fine on their side. They did notice that the account was logging in to pull mail, but it wasn't logging out again. They told me it was an issue on my side.
    I deleted the account and re-added it and it made a difference for about 10 minutes and then stopped working again. I went as far as deleting that email account off of my server as well and creating a new one for myself, putting a forward on the old one so I wouldn't miss out on any emails. This worked for about 2 weeks and I thought it was fixed. Now, all of a sudden, I can't receive emails again. I seem to be able to send emails just fine from the offending account.
    I receive them without any issues on my blackberry so it isn't my ISP. The problem is with my mac. I took all my accounts offline and back online 10 seconds later and still nothing changed. Now and then it will suddenly work but I will get ALL the same emails that I have been receiving over the last few weeks and NOTHING new. It's very odd to me but I'm really hoping someone will recognise this issue and be able to shed some light on the subject. I can't keep answering emails off of my blackberry so I need to fix this and I'm completely stumped.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks!

  • When I try to transfer songs to my ipod touch or my friends ipod nano in which both have manually managed music, I get error 13019 "Ipod cannot be synced".  This problem started to occur all of a sudden. Any ideas other than the resyncing?

    When I try to transfer songs to my ipod touch or my friends ipod nano, I get error 13019 "Ipod cannot be synced".  Everything was working fine and transferring successfully and then this problem started to occur all of a sudden. My music is managed manually and always has. I looked online for a solution and they all involve resyncing the library and unchecking voice memos. Is there a way to resolve this issue without having to resync my music or reinstall itunes?

    Have you powered off and then back on the router?
    Have you done anything to the router recently like changed a setting?
    Have you tried:
    - Resetting the iPod. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Resetting network settings: Settings>GeneralReset>Reset Network SettingsTo me the error sounds like a network/router problem vice aan iPod problem.

  • PPC all of the sudden will not file share, what can I do?

    I have a PPC G5 OSX 10.4.11 all of the sudden I went to connect to my MacBook Pro with file sharing and I can not. I can see the MacBook in my network area and when I hit connect it lets me put in my password and then I try to click on the folder to mount it and my finder freezes. I relaunch the finder but still get the spinning wheel of death over the network window. I have looked online and all the forums say I have to reinstall my OS but there has to be another way, can anyone help? I also try to open my "file share" option on my PPC but it will not do that either. Thanks in advance.

    Hi skrilla, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these files to the Desktop.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

    Reboot and setup Sharing & Network again.

  • My MacBook Pro recently shut down on me all of a sudden. When I restarted it, it popped up with a gray box with 'OS X Utilities,' then listed various options such as 1. restore from time machine backup, 2. reinstall OS X, etc. what do I do now?

    My MacBook Pro recently shut down on me all of a sudden. When I restarted it, it popped up with a gray box with 'OS X Utilities,' then listed various options such as 1. restore from time machine backup, 2. reinstall OS X, 3. get help online and 4. disk utility. what do I do now? I have not backed up to Time Machine in a few days, so I'm not sure I should restore from time machine backup, is there something else I can do? Help!

    Guitar21,
    your MacBook Pro has booted into its Recovery mode. From the OS X Utilities menu, select Disk Utility. On the left-hand side of the Disk Utility window, select your internal disk’s boot partition (typically called “Macintosh HD”). On the right-hand side, press the Verify Disk button if it’s not greyed out; if it is greyed out, or if it reports that errors were found, press the Repair Disk button. Once the verification/repair is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Restart from the Apple menu to restart in normal mode. Does it get to the login screen now?
