Bookmark library: each use causes FF to freeze for up to 90 seconds and sometimes causes FF to crash.

I've tried disabling all add-ons, plug-ins etc but to no avail. Each time I select 'organize bookmarks' and type in the 'search bookmark' dialog the whole of FF freezes for a min. of 30 secs further searches have the same effect and frequently I have to ctrl/alt/del to bring up the task manager to shut FF down.

Reloaded Itunes on an XP machine. Reloaded because Itunes would not open. Now when I play a movie that is in my library, the movie plays for aprx. 60 seconds and then reverts back to my Itunes library. Does it with all movies in the library, Most where downloaded from Itunes. Any ideas on a cure?

This "original file cannot be found" thing happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

In Itunes store, song preview plays for only 5-10 seconds and then stops. Songs in my Itunes library play start to finish.

In Itunes store, song preview plays for only 5-10 seconds and then stops. Songs in my Itunes library play entirely from start to finish.

My Itunes previews have been playing fully now for the past few days. After trying every suggestion possible to fix the problem of 5-10 second previews, I took the advice on one feed to use OpenDNS for your network internet connection. There are internet sites that will instruct you how to do it. Just Google "opendns for (your operating system)". I have Windows XP and followed a video instruction at www.top-windows-tutorals.com/using-opendns.html. Afterward, close your browser and then flush the DNS Resolver cache; Start/Run, type CMD in the open field, click OK, in resulting window type ipconfig/flushdns, press return on keyboard. No guarantees, but my browser is faster and my Itunes previews are playing fully so far. But I still shudder every time I hit the preview button.

When I use my IPhone 4S to view the Shaw Go Movie Central App when I am at home I only use WiFi which is automatic, I start watching a show and sometimes I will get a message like "you can not use your cellular for video playback" or something close to that. Then I received an email from Telus saying I had used my 3G instead of Wi-Fi using 75% of my data. How can this happen when I'm on Wi-Fi at home? If it switched to 3G for some reason I should have been disconnected and not just transferred to 3G network using up my data. What is the fix for this??

It doesn't have to be that complicated, Verizon iPhones come unlocked, just tell VZ you're going on Holiday/Traveling and suspend the service, no need to pay for service if you're not going to be using it. Pick up local SIM cards in the countries of your choosing, pop them in, re-activate iMessage and you're set!
I recommend getting a SIM card from the Three network in England, they have great EU roaming rates and free like-home roaming in Italy.
Set your phone's region to match the country you're in, it'll save from some headaches when calling local/international numbers.
To answer your questions,
1. If you choose not to have a local SIM card, it is good to keep your phone in Airplane mode to save battery.
2. Make sure the two iPhones have different names to reduce sync/restore issues.
3. If husband has an iPhone also, you can chat with iMessage/Facetime, just give him heads up about the new number you'll have. Otherwise, use Whatsapp if he's got an Android. You can activate Whatsapp with your American number or the international number if you choose to get a SIM in Europe.
Also, Get the MagicJack app and/or Google Hangouts, both of those apps provide you with free calling to the USA and Canada using any internet connection. Google Voice is another good way to SMS across the seas.
Let me know if you need any more tips for iPhoning across the pond.

When opening iTunes, I get the following error message: the registry setting used by the iTunes drivers for importing an burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes.

When opening iTunes, I get the following error message: "The registry setting used by the iTunes drivers for importing an burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes."
I have reinstalled iTunes twice and still get the message.
Any clues??
Thank you.

I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

Premiere Pro CC periodically causes Mac to freeze for 1-2 minutes

I'm working in Premiere Pro CC on OSX 10.8.4 and every once in a while my entire Mac will freeze/stall/hang for 1-2 minutes. During the freeze, the mouse cursor dissapears and the keyboard doesn't work. Once the freeze is done, everything resumes and works like normal.
Things that seem to trigger this event are adjusting effects sliders on layers that have transparency, alpha channels, or low opacity. I mostly work with Quicktime MOV files that have alpha channels and use fonts with an opacity set to 78%.
One time this even happened after I did an export media, and the preview window on the export media panel was stuck at "Rendering Preview".
I'm using one of those newer iMac machines and it has an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2048 MB video card. In the project settings, my video rendering and playback is set to "Mercury Playback Engine GPU Accelleration (OpenCL)". I will next try setting it to CUDA to see what happens.

Hi,
I just watched a video podcast for about 30 min - suddenly the video froze, audio went on for a couple of seconds - then the fireball came up for 1 min. Then the video started again for 10 sec and froze again.
Any idea what could be wrong here?
Thanks,
Johannes

Since the last update of Firefox I’ve a real problem. While Firefox is running or in use my Laptop total freezes. I was working a Word document and my laptop stops cold. The resource tool stops and nothing works. I have to power off my laptop to get around this. This has occurs numerous time and started after the last update to Firefox. I did install Skpe recently. My configuration is as follows:
Forfox 10.0.2
User Agent Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:10.0.2) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/10.0.2
Windows 7 version 6.1 build 7600
Processor p6100 64-bit
Please help me it is very annoying

uninstalled firefox ....deleted all files still remaining under mozilla firefox directory in program files ... to avoid having to reprogram all my settings, reisntall all addons as well .. I did not remove anything from mozilla firefox that is stored in either appdata or under the windows users directory (if any)
... the as suggested reinstalled the latest version of the firefox browser using the link you provided in the email ..; tested and several issues still remain present and unresolved ....
so please this is urgent or I will have to jump browsers and start using chrome .. because we work 14 hours a day 6 (sometimes 7) days a week, to get ready for the launch of our newest venture and we cannot lose that much days on browser related issues ... so please instead of putting me through week long step process .. of do this .. do that .. can you please actually look into the issue from your end .. I use firefox for so many, many years thta I deserve this kind of support .. thnx Robert

Firefox freezes for at least 5 seconds when opening context menus

Well I've been looking for a reason to switch to Chrome... I guess now i have one.
Problem: Firefox freezes for 5 seconds when opening context menus (screen goes gray for @3s)
Firefox 32
Ubuntu 12.04
I first noticed it this morning when I tried to open up a Bookmark menu. Continued testing and found that right-clicking(anywhere) caused the same behavior. There are tons of posts going back years of similar behavior (although I doubt they're all related), so I ran therough the standard troubleshooting steps (restarting firefox after each step):
* cleared the caches
* Lowered cache memory allocation
* Created a new profile (did not carry-over any previous bookmarks or add-ons)
* Restarted firefox in safe-mode.
* Reset firefox (from safe-mode command)
Restarting firefox with all add-ons disabled is not included here because that is assumed in 'created a new profile' (correct?).
Furthermore, when I went to reinstall I got the error: "E: I wasn't able to locate a file for the firefox package. This might mean you need to manually fix this package."
I don't know what happened over the weekend, but I guess I'll try a full manual reinstall, when I have more time to mess with it. FF has been a primary tool for development, but for now it's dead to me.
P.S. On an unrelated issue. Maybe I'm old-school, but I miss the original drop-down menus up top. I don't think there's anything wrong with improving on the existing model, but why would you replace something that's worked well for DECADES.

Thanks for your response and sorry for the delay in my rep[ly.
Today I tested the Linux-64 version (Firefox 33) from the link you suggested. There weren't any install instructions or a README, but based on the file-system layout I guess it just needs to be extracted. I downloaded and extracted to my Downloads directory and ran the executable via command-line as my user (not root).
Firefox popped up right away, but it was not usable for at least 30s. It asked to import from Chrome which I did (no errors). Every click on the top bar (address bar search, buttons to the right of search, bookmarks toolbar) resulted in a dimming un-dimming sequence of @7s, after which nothing (couldn't focus in the address bar, occasionally the bookmark menu would appear, but was not functional). Basically, it's un-usable.
As I mentioned in an earlier reply, I am having similar problems with Komodo which is apparently also Mozilla based.
Are there any logs I could tail and post that might help track this down?
Not sure what to do at this point.

HT5622 Can I use the same apple ID for imessage on my Mac and iPad?

Today I attempted to send and iMessage from my iPad. The message began to send but the loading bar stopped when it was almost finished and an exclamation point appeared next to the message. I am connected to my house wifi, and I have never had a problem with iMessage up to this point. A couple of months ago I bought a Mac and I am using the same Apple ID and Email for iMessage on that. I am wondering if the reason iMessage has stopped working on my iPad has to do with the fact that I am using the same account for my computer?

Then it wouldn't appear that your home network is the problem either. Try turning Messages off on the iPad, reboot the iPad and the turn Messages on again and see if that fixes it.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

TS4185 i am using the same apple id for facetime in my iphone and mac. now, only my iphone can receive and make facetime calls. why can't facetime calls in my mac get through?

i am using one apple id for facetime in my iphone and mac. my phone is able to receive and make calls while my mac is not able to do both. what is the problem.

thanks. your answer was correct, clearer. I have another question, maybe you can answer. I just purchase my ipad2 2 days ago. yesterday, there was a sound. today there is no sound. there is a sound only in movies and you tube and music. but no sound on all apps and keyboards. I look it up and seems like ther are few that have this problem. I called walmart coz I bought it there and they told me that they have not heard that before but if I can't fix it, just return it and exchange it with anew one since I have 14 days to do that. I tried rebooting it and still won't work. Should I just restore it?

Bookmarks is still stalling and freezing for more than 20 seconds!

This is my second query. Mozilla sent me a 'fix' problem email and I tried all the suggestions, but still... the freeze, stall problem with bookmarks persists.
Now after doing all that's been suggested Firefox Bookmarks is stalling... MORE often:
I got to 'Show all Bookmarks' and once it gives me that page, I click on an item...
STALL FOR 5-10 seconds
I click and select a bookmarked address
STALL AGAIN for 5-8 seconds
I delete a book mark
STALL AGAIN... 5 seconds
On and On and On...
Does this problem have to do with Synching Firefox with 2-3 other computers? Should I just disable synching?

You should be cautious with deleting the bookmarkbackups folder as well as that will remove all JSON backups and you lose all the bookmarks and you won't be able to rebuild the places.sqlite database.
You normally only need to remove the places.sqlite to recover from issues with this file.
You should disconnect from Sync temporarily before deleting the places.sqlite file.

Why my iPhone 5 freeze for around 10-15 seconds before I can continue using it again after every calls?, Why my iPhone 5 freeze for around 10-15 seconds before I can continue using it again after every calls?

It's annoying as every time I want to make urgent calls need to wait for a long time before I can use it again

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

Bookmark library: each use causes FF to freeze for up to 90 seconds and sometimes causes FF to crash.
