Back button forward button, refresh and cancel button all do not work they are always grey out and the drop down history by forward arrow doesn't work either

when I go to another website the back button to the home button never works. the home button works. I can't do any or the above mentioned features

This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • What is forwarded when " as in-line text" is selected in the drop-down box for forwarding a message. i.e. are attachments forwarded?

    Some websites require a special client certficate for access. If you don't have that certficate, you'll have to contact the site operator to find out how to get one.
    Sometimes the problem is caused by a web server that is configured to request an optional client certificate. Safari treats the request as mandatory. In that case, other browsers such as Firefox and Chrome may be able to connect to the site, because they ignore the request.
    The first time you were prompted for a certificate, you may have clicked through a dialog that requested access to the Apple certificate in your keychain that is used to secure the iMessage service. In that case, you may be able to regain access to the site in Safari by doing as follows.
    Back up all data.
    Double-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    com.apple.idms.appleid.prd
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    Paste into the search field in the Keychain Access window by clicking in it and pressing the key combination command-V. An item may appear in the list of keychain items. The Name will begin with string you searched for, and the Kind will be "certificate."
    Delete the item by selecting it and pressing the delete key. It will be recreated automatically the next time you launch the Messages or FaceTime application.
    The next time you visit a site that prompts for an optional client certificate, cancel out of the prompt. You may have to do this several times before the server stops asking.

  • On the "old" Firefox I could copy a section of a web page and tranfer it elsewhere. The new Firefox has an edit option but it always greyed out and unusable. Why can't Icopy a part of a web page??

    I try to copy a UPS shipping tracking ID code so I can transfer it to the UPS tracking web site--but the edit option on the Firefox is always greyed out and will not respond when selected--doesn't work. Therefore I have to copy the code on a piece of paper and then go to the UPS web site and type in the code. It was a lot easier when I could copy the code and transfer it to the UPS page>

    That Edit menu in the Firefox menu button should have three icons (Cut, Copy, Paste) that are enabled if there is text selected or something is on the clipboard. The arrow at the right of the Edit item will open the Edit menu.
    Press F10 or press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.

  • The drop down history button in FF3, used to be between the forward and back buttons, is missing in FF4. how do i get it back?

    I'm referring to the small downwards arrow between the back and forward button beside the URL, on the navigation bar. That used to be a very convenient feature and now its not available in FF4. Is there a way to get back that button?

    You can get the drop down list by either right-clicking on the back/forward buttons, or holding down the left button until the list appears.
    If you want the drop-down arrow you can add it with the Back/forward dropmarker add-on - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/backforward-dropmarker

  • Restore Session no longer works properly, the window shows as blank, and the restore button is greyed out. On the history tab, the three associated links are also greyed out and unusable. How do I restore functionality?

    Just as the question says, I get a restore session tab whenever I open Firefox, but it no longer shows my tabs, and the Restore button is greyed out. If I open and then close a side, it no longer shows up in the "recently closed tabs" in the History menu. "restore previous session" and "Recently closed windows" are also greyed out.
    I'd like this function to work correctly again.

    Make sure that you do not use Clear History to clear the <i>Browsing History</i> when you close Firefox.
    *Tools > Options > Privacy: History: [X] Clear history when Firefox closes > Settings
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Clear+Recent+History
    Using the "Show my windows and tabs from last time" setting is a more reliable way to restore session data.
    * Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

  • I purchased an album and it will play on my phone but it is greyed out and wont play in i tunes on my mac book

    i purchased an album and it is on my phone and i can listen to it but on my computer it is there but it is greyed out and no album artwork. it wont play on my computer

    Hi there,
    It sounds like the album didn't completely download. I would recommend deleting the effected tracks from your iTunes library and redownloading them from the iTunes store. Take a look at the article below for more information.
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

    No. It's gone. And you can ignore the spamvertisements that are sure to pop up touting data recovery software. The only thing they are going to recover is your money... straight into their own pockets.

  • PLEASE HELP! I transfer one of my garageband songs to another ipad using icloud. I see the song shouw up under "My Songs" with a grenn down arrow at the top right hand corner. When I click the green arrow they song becomes greyed out and wont do anything.

    Is the song just taking an extremely long time to download or have I done something wrong?? I have searched everywhere for an answer and cant seem to find it.

    Hi
    I have the same problem too with two songs which are in the same state. Mine happened when I was uploading to iCloud and GarageBand crashed during the upload.
    It's really annoying as these songs were from live instruments plugged into my iPad and I was using iCloud as a backup but now it's lost the entire song.
    I've tried turning off iCloud and getting duplicates of iCloud songs copied to my iPad and then enabling iCloud again and that didn't fix it.
    I'm currently downloading the latest patch release of GarageBand to see whether installing that version (which apparently fixes the problem in the first place) will help my songs magically reappear.
    Feel I have nothing to lose as I can't get to the songs ........

  • When I open images in Photoshop CS6 they are completely blown out and color  posterzation like appea

    When I open my images in Photoshop CS6 they appear considerably blown out - none of the foreground has color and detail seen here-but you can see a posterize like appearancin the sky. The same thing is happening in Lightroom 5.

    The work files are tiffs 16 bit - anything that opens in photoshop has the
    same look -jpg,psd etc. My images are printed as digital C print by a lab.
    I haven't intentionally changed anything since yesterday when I was editing
    images. The appearance is the same in Lightroom where my digital image are
    stored. I also have scanned film image that open in adobe camera raw.So
    whatever is happening occurs both in Photoshop and lightroom.
    You suggest a monitor setting, worth exploring, but could a monitor issue
    affect only photoshop/lightroom doc.
    Thanks to PhotoRoy

  • My backed up files from iphone to my mac cannot be seen as they are, but only numbers and letters, they seem to be encrypted even though I did not click on encrypted when backing up

    I am using a Mac Book Air to back up my Iphone 5 on Itunes. What I can see of the files are encrypted even though I did not click on the Encrypt box.
    Please, help.

    Backups of an iPhone made using iTunes are stored in a format that is only meant for use in a restore and are not meant to be accessed directly. There are other methods of transferring things like photos and contacts to your computer such as iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer, iCloud: My Photo Stream FAQ, and https://www.apple.com/icloud/
    If you absolutely must directly access an iTunes backup there is 3rd party extraction software available such as http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/ibackupextractor/

  • "Choose what folder to store your bookmark in by picking one from the drop-down menu. Or "choose"". Neither works, it only and ever shows 5 of 20 folders I have....help

    I want to bookmark a page I click star or right click. I pick bookmark menu as it has all my folders, however, my only "folder" options are the same five, even if I pick "choose" it doesn't give me ALL my folders to "choose" from, I've mess with this for a year now, the only way to get my page into a "folder" that I want but wasn't given the option in the "bookmark this page box" is to bookmark it (not in a folder-because I don't want the choices given to me) then go to "organize bookmarks", find page and drag it into the "folder" I wanted it to go in in the first place......I'm sooo frustrated, why can't ALL the folders you have show up and then pick one? WHY ONLY a few show up as choices...sigh

  • Imessage on Mac has my wifes phone number and its greyed out and i cant change it to my number (on the beta version of iMessage for the mac)

    hey-- so iMessage on ONE computer has my wifes phone number in under iMessage and its greyed out and i cant change it to my number.  any ideas?  ive done what people have suggested on these forums, e.g., check your apple id make sure your number is associated with it etc.  how do i change the iMessage number from my wifes to my actual number?  thanks! R

    HI,
    This can depend on the the Apple ID that is used.
    I was under the impression that the invididual parts of an iCloud ID could be "registered" separately for iMessages but this may not be correct.
    I have an Apple ID that is based on a email from a source external to Apple. (an old Dial-up account email)
    I registered this for iCloud and at the time got an @me.com name as well.
    I also have two iPhones so I decided to use the @me.com name on one iPhone and the older Dial-up on the other.
    This seemed to work up to the OS X10.8.2 and iOS 6 updates.
    AT this points I did the OS X one first then the iPhones
    I got alerts in Messages on the Mac to add the Dial-up ID iPhone's number to Messages which I accepted.
    The Messages Menu > Accounts > iMessages showed the iPhone Number as an alternative Receive ID and offered itself in the Drop as the Send from ID.
    I then set up the second iPhone and got an alert in Messages to add the Apple ID and the iPhone number to Messages.
    I said no to this.
    At iOS 6 this did not get added to the Messages > Preferences > Accounts > iMessage panel.
    However at iOS 6.0.2 the iPhones are showing their own Numbers as Greyed out  and even though I refused again the @me.com ID and second iPhone's Number they have been added to the Message Menu > Preferences > Accounts > iMessages pane although they are not ticked.
    The only link these two Apple ID Names have is that they are both associated with the iCloud Account.
    (I Can log in to the same iTunes account with either name, and post here, and access iCloud in a web browser - the password is the same).
    I have successfully managed to get one iPhone to have it's greyed out Number ticked so it can accept iMessages sent to the Number.
    This involved removing the Apple ID on that iPhone, Closing iMessages, restarting iMessages and then re-adding the Apple ID
    I did get an alert to say the ID  would not work anywhere in iMessages when removing it.
    It was 24 hours before I got an alert in Messages again to add the iPhone Number and Apple ID (I said no and they are not active but do show in the iMessage account on the Mac)
    I am a little confused by this bit:-
    ...ONE computer has my wife's phone number in under iMessage and its greyed out ...
    I can see the iPhone Numbers in Messages Menu > Preferences > Accounts >iMessages Account pane but they are not greyed out even when not active
    They are only greyed out on the iPhone's themselves.
    I would also make sure the Apple IDs used on each computer and it's related iPhone are separate from each other.

  • Back/ forward buttons and refresh buttons have greyed out and don't work, how can I fix that?

    Woke up this morning to find firefox's back/forward buttons and refresh unresponsive. They are just greyed out. Also, when I open Firefox it usually goes to my home page, now it just opens to an "untitled" page. I tried resetting the home page, only to find it was set correctly. The only way to get to the home page is to hit the home button. The only thing that happened overnight, that I can see, is updates on 'screenshot-program' and 'smarterfox.' I don't know what to do about it, please help?
