Audio has developed a static-y hiccup. I removed and replaced Firefox on ny Windows XP Dell laptop. The audio is fine on Internet Explorer.

I have a new problem with my Dell Latitude E6500 laptop. I use Windows XP and the latest version of Firefox.
Audio through websites has a jerky, static-y sound to. Youtube, Ted, Pandora, NPR: all the same. The only site that plays O.K. is a video on the Mozilla site.
This started when I downloaded a story from NPR to their player. It was bad, and everything since then, too.
I removed Firefox and downloaded it again.
Internet Explorer doesn't have this problem. Neither do CDs played through the computer.
Suggestions?

Amazon "look inside" feature has stopped working for me on Firefox (used to work in the past; not sure when it stopped). The feature works fine on Internet Explorer 8.0 when browing the exact same books on Amazon. I'm running Win 7 64bit. Thanks.

After pressing "look inside", the loading message continues indefinitely. Sometimes, I get the message "server timeout".
Internet Explorer 8.0 loads the "look inside" pages instantly for the exact same Amazon books.
I have been running Win 7 64 bit for about 9 months. I believe the Amazon feature worked initially. Was running XP and Firefox prior to Win 7 and never had this problem. Used the "look inside" feature many times.

I believe I found the issue with this.
The IP Address that this server was sending out emails from, was at one point, blacklisted. So I changed the server to use our email gateway IP instead, and SMS Messages are being sent through now.

HT1414 In syncing my iphone to my itunes account, it proceeds fine until step 6/6 music. Then there is a message that I tunes software has stopped working. This has happened multiple times. I am on a windows 7 Dell laptop. Thank you.

I keep getting the same error message when syncing my iphone in itunes with my windows 7 Dell laptop: The software has stopped working and will be shut down. Can anyone help?

Hey preachit,
It sounds like we are running into issues with the iTunes software connecting to your device. If possible, lets try plugging your iPhone 5 in with a different cable. Also, try plugging it in to a different USB port on your computer:

We may need to isolate the issue down to the iPhone or the current installation of iTunes. If the above steps have not resolved your issue, remove and reinstall iTunes:

yours sincerly
jackfromsurrey

What I am saying is ..........
The iPhone HAS to be active making calls on the UK carrier network for the carrier to identify as "theirs" and therefore eligible for the Carrier to unlock
The way to achieve this is to use a PAYG sim making and receiving calls to establish a customer relationship with the Carrier and then follow the Carrier's process to unlock
With a PAYG it usually means adding a specified (by the carrier ) amount usually £15 /£20 depending on the carrier
This is how O2 function and according to Gemma this is how Vodafone work

When I attach a JPG file in my email and send it to a Windows friend they get the message "The file type being saved or retrieved has been blocked when they try to open it." Anyone know why and how to fix this problem?

Your Windows friend should ask in a Windows forum why his email client won't open attached jpg files. We have no idea what email client he is using or how his Windows security is configured.

SQL Developer 1.5.3 - Why is "Find and Replace" now a model dialog?

In SQL Developer 1.5.3 the find and replace dialog is now a modal dialog.
This prevent you from copying content from below it.
Basically only option is to type instead of copy and paste
Very frustrating!

This has been modal since 1.0. Do you mean the Edit -> Replace... ctrl R (Replace Text) dialog? As you have been able to copy and paste before, please direct me to the dialog you are referring to.

I have had wireless issues sense Leapord, any fixes yet? its a shame that my wife has to sit in front of our 27 inch imac on a $300 Windows computer to use the web effectively. I have tried all fixes and some work while others don't but all temporary

This Lion wireless issue has become more than just an irritation, so much so, my wife has resorted to sitting in front of a 27 inch imac with a 300 dollar Walmart Windows computer to get the bills paid and use the web. And yes, there is not a fix out there I haven't tried over the last year or so, some worked and some didn't, but all were temporary at best. Same issue with my Macair, I wonder if its a hardware issue, like the video card in my 2006 MBP, it went out after the warrenty and then I found out there was a calss action suit going on over it, unfortunately Apple wouldn't cover it and wanted 7oo bucks to fix it, sold that as parts.
While i really like me Macs, I own three, I may have to bow out and stick with LINUX, that has yet to let me down, anyone know if Mountain will fix this issue? or are we all just waiting for defective WiFi cards to fail at our own expense, PS, got three Macs for sale.

Sounds like you're getting kernel panics, which are usually, but not always, caused by hardware problems, with memory being one of the regular culprits.
First thing I would do is to get our your original OS X disks, insert the first one (should say 'AHT version x.x' in small print on the label - if not, find the one that does), and reboot holding the Alt key down. Choose the Apple hardware test, and when prompted, choose the extended test. If you have either of the TechTool programs, they can do similar testing. Does that identify any hardware issues?
Next, I'd download rember from http://www.kelleycomputing.net/rember/ . This is a memory testing program that you can set to run overnight. Does it come up with any errors? If so, try resetting your memory card(s) by removing and putting back into the computer. Rerun memory test.

Audio hangs on all videos played in firefox after updating to 3.6, everything works fine in internet explorer.

sound locks up and repeats while videos play, sound resumes as it should after a second or so, happens once every few seconds while playing any video within firefox. (youtube) flash applications work fine. internet explorer runs all videos fine. let me know if i need to dig up some more info to help figure out what my be causing the problem.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== firefox 3.6 update

This will require advanced help. I believe it has something to do with the session restore feature of Firefox, but I can't help you fix it.
In the meantime (that is, before another contributor that knows how to help you comes here), you may want to try creating a new Firefox profile ([http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+profiles managing profiles]) and see if the same issues occur on that one. This profile can be erased if you don't want it, of course. Please tell us whether the new profile has the same issues or not.

Hi my notebook has got a lot of virus in it and it is stoping me from going on to the internet.

hi my laptop has a lot of virus in it farwall and it is stopping me from going on the internet

Hi:
From another PC, download the free Kapersky Rescue Disk and burn the file to a CD.
http://support.kaspersky.com/viruses/rescuedisk
Then you boot from the disk, select the graphic interface, allow it to connect to the internet, and check the boxes for the disks to scan and remove the viruses from.
You don't have to be in Windows, so the disk normally gets rid of most known viruses and spyware.
Read the instructions. It is fairly easy to use.

I have installed iTunes on my new windows 7 dell laptop every time I start it it comes up with an error saying itunes has encountered a problem and it closes ? any answers have tried command prompt reset and it has not resolved it also un/reinstalled

I have installed iTunes on my new laptop OS Windows 7. I have two iphones, a 3rd gen nano and an ipod classic.
Since the install yesterday I keep getting an error message which itunes has stopped working A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a soluion is available.
I have un and re installed and followed a command promt reset.
I still have the problem. Any ideas?

Ok. So I created a new account and iTunes did work. I went back into my original account and tried again and just to be more clear, after I open iTunes it asks me to accept or decline the agreement, I do that, then it says "updating library", and then one all the bars are full it closes and says "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close."
okay, let's start working through the user-account-specific causes of this message.
one possibility is damaged itunes preference files in the user account in which you're getting the crash. (there's a different set of those in each different user account, which is how we can get crashes limited to a single user account.)
if that is what is going on, we can often get past this by rebuilding the preference files in the account that is crashing. for the preference files rebuild technique, see my reply to kusma in this post:

Firefox will not open until Windows Firewall has opened at startup. A slow process and slows Firefox in Starting. Can this be corrected?

Since installing Firefox the start up time for the computer has greatly increased as Windows Firewall has to be started before Firefox can open. Very annoying and can this problem be corrected?

Firefox does this for security purposes. I do not recommend attempting to "fix" this.
To boost starting time, you can try a Firefox preloading software.

I created a web page in MS Word and saved it as html; it has lots of graphics; the graphics load perfectly in Internet Explorer but in Firefox there is simply white space where the graphics should appear

The web page is not live: I just load it on my computer. When I convert the .docx file to .html, the graphics are saved by MS Word in the usual folder as image001.png, up to image032.png.
I'm sure this is a trivial problem but I can't crack it.
Many thanks. RS

Does that "local" page work in Internet Explorer, but not Firefox?
If so, it might be a \ vs. / problem with the file path for those images.

I cannot open my banking page or open PDF's from any mozilla browser. All of my applications work fine in Internet Explorer. This has only started happening for the last week or so.

Whenever I try to access my banking information on firefox it only downloads a small portion of the display page. Also, when I try to open a PDF nothing happens when using firefox. I have the latest version of Adobe.

Hi Chris,
Well, I tried to delete the Caches and I threw all the .plist files related to microsoft in the trash -- athough I don't know if this is the way to delete files but I haven't found another yet....
From your other suggestions, it seems to me that you have the impression that I want to stop using Microsoft Office (it was 2007, I made a mistake) though... but this is not the case.
So... tell me if I misunderstood correctly or if I did anything wrong, or if you have anything else to suggest...
Thanks a lot anyways!

UIX has problem with the limit on the length of url in Internet Explorer

I have a UIX page with 4 tabs. The number of textbox and dropdown list is large in each tab. When I do a form submit, all the properties' name (textbox and dropdown list) and it's value are submitted automatically by UIX as part of the url string.
The problem is, the limitation of the url string will make my submit action failed when the url string is too long. Netscape seems dont have this limitation of url string but just too bad that our main browser will be IE.
Moreover, for my login page, when I press the submit button to login, the password is submitted as a url string also, which reveal the user's password!!
Could I turn off the auto submition of those properties & value in my page as part of the url string? Because I can use binding control to get and set their value, there is no need to submit everything.
Does anyone knows how to solve this problem? Thanks!

Try setting method="POST" on your <form>.
