At startup, Firefox firefox loads 90% but won't fully load. Why?

I only recently acquired Firefox, and am not yet fully familiar with it; but, I now find that when I try and open up the Firefox browser, the green "progress bar", gets to around 90%+ on it's journey, then just stops!
I am then presented with an option, in the middle of the page, which says '''"Slow connection? switch to basic version."'''
When I accept this option, Firefox then allows me to access a very basic option of the browser. How can I regain access to the full version of Firefox?
Regards
Ian

ah ok well thx i will do that and i think adobe needs to fix there plugins

My computer won't fully load without turning back off completely. What does this mean or what should i do?

My computer won't fully load without turning back off completely. I also tried plugging it in to the charger but it still did not work. What does this mean? What should i do?

It looks as if there's a problem with your GPU. With a Retina machine, that would mean replacement of just about everything, except, perhaps, the flash storage drive.
Print you kernel panic when you go to your Apple Store appointment. I'm betting that it's a faulty GPU but they will be able to diagnose exactly where the problem lies.
Good luck,

Mail won't fully load messages

Ever since updating to 10.4.5, I open Mail, and the circle that shows the progress gets to about 50% to 95% (differs every time) and then hangs. I let it sit for an hour, still nothing. The only way to stop it is to force quit, and sometimes that takes a minute or two. My modem light is blinking like it's transferring data from the 'net, but Mail never fully loads the messages. I can see the headers, but clicking on them gives me the spinning beach ball and Mail says 'Loading Message' in the preview box.
Thanks.

Does this happen with all messages or only specific messages.
It sounds like that this might be an HTML email and Mail is trying to download images from a remote site. Perhaps the remote site is down or a certain image within the email is linked wrong and Mail is trying to download an image that isn't there.
That's a big problem with HTML emails. Try viewing plain text emails and see if you get the same result.

ITunes won't fully load - how to fix this?

iTunes won't fully load. Uninstalling and re-installing does not repair this. Can anyone help?

I don't know why this error occurs, unless you have attempted to downgrade iTunes.
This method should get you up and running again.
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

Firefox tries to update but won't load

I have a macbook 5,1 intel core 2 duo. Intel Core 2 duo 2.4 GHz
It's been loading Firefox just fine but for the last week it can't load the Firefox update though it tries daily.

If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
* Firefox 7.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded

Update available for firefox 3.6.12 but won't install;says connection timed out

I've had firefox 3.6.12 for a couple of months. it says an upgrade is available, but won't install. says connection timed out. I tried it from IE 8 as well, same result. Took me a half our just to get to mozilla.com I installed IE 8 2 days ago, and since then, my monitor flashes the page when i'm in gmail. Also flash videos won't play worth a crap. I just installed K-lite Mega 6.6 to try to fix that.

I wonder if it's not some of the newer technologies like HTML 5 that the other browsers support. I have the same problem, and the sites load fine in Opera. I still have 3.6 (whatever's latest), and haven't upgraded to 4 yet because of all the extensions I use. I'm waiting until it's more stable and my more important extensions are usable. I use Hulu's desktop viewer and Opera to make up for it, currently.
Adding screenshots of my experience with it. The text will load, but no video or images. That's why I thought it might be some new language / protocol.

I have been unable to upgrade for almost a year. The upgrade loads partially, but won't complete.

I'm on Mac OS 10.6.7, computer is about a year and a half old. I think I may have had one successful upgrade very early on, to 3.5.2. Every time I've tried to upgrade since then, it starts but won't complete. It's getting to the point where this has got to be upgraded, and I simply can't get it to move. I've noticed Firefox has been crashing, which it almost never used to do. Help!!

If you have problems with updating then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded

PDF files using FF19 or 20 won't fully load and print blank followed by error message

I've noticed on my Win7SP1 machine that I can't print pdf documents from the PDF viewer. The pdf loads fine but the there is a little animated rotating circle that just spins and won't go away. This is likely indicating that the hidden nav bar that normally appears, when you hover over the lower middle portion of a pdf, is not working in FireFox because it works fine in Chrome and IE.
If I try to print anyway I see a message window titled "Printing," the pdf view goes blank, and a blank page is printed unless I hit cancel in time. I also get an error message "The PDF document might not be displayed correctly" with the option to open in a different viewer -- which does work -- but its not zezty, its annoying. The same website using the same pdf works fine in Chrome and IE and the little Nav bar in the bottom-middle appears fine.

The new built in pdf viewer in Firefox sometimes causes problems. It is probably worth trying the problem document printing with whatever other pdf reader you have.

Safari won't fully load websites

Safari is having many and varied moments of not fully loading webpages. It is also happening to a lesser degree on other browsers (firefox, camino, shiira). I have tested removing internet plugins, deleting cache, history, duplicate fonts, plist, etc and nothing seems to want to fix this. I have loaded the latest release of flash, 8.0.27 UB after it was doing it with previous versions. I'm thinking it has something to do with flash but I'm not certain. Simpler webpages seem to load fine, it's the ones with lots of differing content that have a problem.
I have seen that this is not a unique problem to me, judging by the other posts here, but no-one has come up with a solution yet.
Any ideas and help would be very appreciated. It's driving me crazy!

Hello, Simonw44
Sorry for your frustration, it seems you have done a lot to resolve this issue, you do not mention if you have tried running Safari under Rosetta , perhaps you could try and see if that helps, though I am not sure how it would help the other browsers. Safari ->Applications-> Get info-> check box . I have to say I do not run it under rosetta & it not an issue , some have to, I do not know what the variables might be or why.
I'm thinking it has something to do with flash but I'm not certain. Simpler webpages seem to load fine
Would you post the site/s that do not load for you ? Is it possible they are ActiveX flash sites?
Cards try previewing ( bit goofy) does this site work for you? It does on my intel. It is a Macromedia Flash site.
This is the Category for our intelsimac intel duo forum though I looked briefly & did not see much for Safari.
Hope this helps some. Please let us know.

Home page loads fine but all othes pages load in no styleeven through it is set to basic page style

started today dident load home page right had to reload it sence then the home page has been loading fine all search pages have loaded in no style. i click view, go down to page style it set to basic page style

That is exactly the procedure I went through. This will allow me to use it as a homepage as long as Firefox remains open. I can return from other pages using the home icon and it works fine.
HOWEVER, as soon as I close firefox it won't load.
I did notice that the upper case letters are somehow turned to lower case for the location arguments of the page in the current page entry and they don't get changed in the bookmark entry.

IPhoto won't fully load or open the photo window dispite upgrading to 5.0.4

IPhoto starts to Load but won't open the window, shows iPhoto in the menu bar but won't respond to the "about iPhoto" or open a "New Album" (option is grayed out) by choosing File_Close Window it ungrays the "New Album" option but when "New Album" is chosen nothing happens execpet that the "New Album" & Close Window" options are both grayed out. I upgraded to iPhoto 5.0.4 (not yet in the pull down choices of the "feed back" window) but that did not cure the problems and had no effect.
Will reinstalling 5.0 from the iLife DVD work and if so does the current version have to be uninstalled first, if yes how??
Can anyone help?
Thanks for you time .

Hi Paul,
You can try a reinstall first.
To reinstall iPhoto...
Navigate to /Applications and drag iPhoto to the trash
Navigate to /Library/Receipts and drag all iPhoto receipts to the trash
Navigate to ~/Library/Preferences and drag com.apple.iPhoto.plist to the trash.
Insert your iLife CD/DVD and choose to do a custom install. You will have to kee ongoing through the steps of the install before you get to the screen where you can choose a custom install.
Install iPhoto.
Run Software Update and update iPhoto.
You can also try deleting the preference file for iPhoto.

Won't fully load

Greetings,
About the same time I got a new computer (with Vista), Apple released iTunes 7.4, so I installed 7.4 on the new computer. Since then I cannot get my iPod loaded -- it's recognized & it will load a little, but only a small fraction. I've tried the 5R's & I've renamed the letter drive for the iPod, but I still can't get more than a gig or 2 (on 5th gen. 30gig). I can connect to my old computer (with 7.3) & the iPod will load fully from that old PC, but I would like to start using it on my new computer. Any other ideas?
Thanks,
Dee

Safari won't fully load or open Youtube, ESPN, gaming websites, and others.

Starting around yesterday, I haven't been able to fully load Youtube, some sports sites, and gaming websites. I don't know what kind of issue this is, but i suspect it might be about Flash. Thanks in advance.

My CS3 won't fully load onto my iMac! Help!

I'm running OS 10.5.8 on an iMac. Up until yesterday my CS3 suite worked fine. This morning, if I try to open up Photoshop, InDesign, DreamWeaver or Flash, they only get as far as that welcome box with "Adobe Design Suite Premium CS3" at the top. The box doesn't load with the usual type or the prompts at bottom to register the software now or later. It stays blank. The program appears to be in the background but it is unreachable. It didn't fully load. I cannot click the welcome box off either - I have to do a Force Quit!
Any ideas?

I got the answer!!! It worked! Somebody on the forum called "I Heart My Beagle" told me to do this, and it worked:
1. Disconnect your internet.
2. Start CS3
3. You'll get an error screen, click "never register."
Hope it works for you too!

Itouch 4th gen won't fully load msn

My 4th gen iTouch will not fully load MSN Mobile page, only about 3/4 and kicks me back to the home screen. When I am able to bring up MSN(rare occasion) my weather location is wrong and I can not change it. MSN always switches it back and it will not let delete the wrong location.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Go to Settings>Safari and Clear History, Data and Cookies
- Try powering off and then back on your router
Does the Map app show the iPod correct location? If not then weaher will not either
- Try another browser like the free Chrome browser
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
