Bookmarks will not load from dropdown menu

Hi,
i copied a lot of bookmarks over from safari to add to my existing bookmarks in firefox. The import seemed to work fine at first but soon i found that the drop down menus for my bookmarks toolbar would not load. Sometimes some and not all will load, sometimes not at all. If I open a sidebar, I can see that all my bookmarks still exist. Some have picture icons next to them, some have a blank white page icon. The ones with the blank page icons don't load from the sidebar.
I'm not the most technical and it took me hours to arrange my bookmarks. Any fix for this without having to start from scratch would be really helpful.
thanks!
Henry.

You might try Safe Mode (It will take more time to startup in Safe Mode because it runs a directory check.)
If your Shutdown functions correctly that way, go to System Preferences >> Accounts >> Login Items, and remove them. Boot normally and test. If not go to ~(yourHome)/Library/Contextual Menu Items and move whatever is there to the desktop. Then do the same with /Library/Contextual Menu Items. Lastly, try moving ~(yourHome)/Library/Fonts to your desktop and restarting.
Log out/in or restart, if that sorts it start putting items back one at a time until you find the culprit.
EDIT: Also, if you can launch Activity Monitor in your Utilities folder and see if you can find the process that is still running.

Mac Pro will not restart from dropdown menu

Hi all,
My Mac Pro will not restart from the dropdown menu or when clicking the 'restart computer' when installing software updates. I have an external firewire hard drive hooked up as part of my backup process. It contains a clone of my startup disk.
I have tried disconnecting the firewire drive, rebooting then attempting to restart from the dropdown menu. Still no joy. I always have to end up shutting down manually by holding the power button in and then restarting with the power button.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.
Dennis

Hi @bepebe ,
I see that you are having issues with the HP Printer Assistant not opening, after installing the printer software. I would like to help you out today.
Temporarily turn off any Antivirus Software to make sure it isn't interfering with the HP Printer Assistant loading.
Try opening it again.
Download and run the Print and Scan Doctor if the issue persists. It will diagnose the issue and might automatically resolve it. Find and fix common printer problems using HP diagnostic tools for Windows?
Please provide the following information so I can assist you better.
Did you have any errors during the install itself?
How is the printer connected? (USB/Ethernet/Wireless)
What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (did it print or scan, any error messages)
Have a nice day!
Thank You.
Please click “Accept as Solution ” if you feel my post solved your issue, it will help others find the solution.

Java console not accessible, will not load from FFx tools dropdown menu (had same prob with 3.6.15). Latest Java installed and IS accessible thru control panel

XP OS, have NoScript installed, disabled, Java console still will not load from FFx.

I followed your instructions and installed Developer Suite 10G on Windows Vista Home Premium edition. I have Oracle 11G DB running on the same machine.
Two points, Steve:
1. When I tried to set the maximum virtual memory to 6110 an error message displayed from Windows and told me that I can't set the maximum virtual memory to more than 4096. I set it to 4090 and it worked and I got nothing wrong during the installation process.
2. After installing JInitiator and disabling Java on Firefox I called the http://127.0.0.1:8889/forms/frmservlet page and everything seemed to be OK because the Oracle Forms Services logo appeared and then a successful installation message appeared , but as I clicked (ok) to continue a gray screen appeared inside the browser (like the one displayed when you try to run a Java applet inside a browser) and then I wait to death till something appears but sadly nothing. I just get a blank gray screen inside my Firefox browser.
Do you have any idea what to do to solve the problem?
Regards

Itunes will not load from external hard drive

My Itunes will not load from my external harddrive. worked fine a few days ago.

I do not have any exclamation points - missing songs do not show at all. I had to click 'locate files' when I opened iTunes after reorganizing, since there was nothing there anymore

TS1424 Rented movie will not load from iTunes

I have been trying, without success, to watch a movie that I rented from iTunes. It will not load, loads after waiting for ages and then plays 2-3 minutes and stops. I have a 50MB connection so download speed is not a factor.
How do I contyact iTunes and request a refund?
I have now bought the movie!!
Thanks
Stebe

I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

Embedded asset will not load from aliased domain

I have a flash movie with an embedded flash movie that uses the get_URL to load an externally linked movie. The file works fine if coming from the root domain, but we also have three different domains virtually hosted to the same web root and the embedded movies will not load if accessed from those other domains. Current external URLs are absolute and not relative, still no loading:
www.topconpa.com
www.topconprecisionag.com
please advise
Steve

Ok, since I am stuck I did a complete DE-install/Re-Install of all Flash Players and Flash Builder. Clean slate. Thats not it.
As I have multiple web sites and bounce between Mac and Windows, it can be challenging to keep track. I had been using the Firefox FireFTP Addon to move files around as it was convenient. This was the problem. Simple answer is FireFTP was doing something wacky (?) to the SWF files when going from Windows to the Linux hosts. Using the builtin Microsoft Network Places FTP client or the excellent Transmit 4 on Mac OS X both resulted in working SWF files from my web sites.
Final Answer: the FTP client messed up the SWF file. Gotta watch that!

W540 will not load from SSD, need help

I just bought a W540 (windows 8) and extra SSD to replace the original HD in W540.
I have created a recovery image in windows 8 to my 16G USB flash and disabled intel rapid storage.
I put the new 512G Crucial MX100 SSD into the machine, and use USB flash drive to reset the laptop.
After the reset process was finished, I took out the USB flash drive, but the laptop will not load windows from my SSD, and the laptop did detect my SSD.
I am wondering if I did something wrong? I took out the SSD and put it in to my desktop, and I did see files were written into the SSD, but W540 will not load it,

The reason for your machine not booting might be found here:
Windows 8 Recovery Fails to Install on New Blank SSD
It does not give any info if the Recovery Media actually formats the drive in GPT mode, which is required for UEFI boot, in which case you might have to re-format your new SSD and re-install it with your recovery USB, which you're probably required to boot in UEFI mode as well. I have only installed Windows 8 in UEFI mode with an original retail DVD, and to achieve that I had to boot the DVD in UEFI mode.

After installing 4.0 firefox will not load from short cut or program

ckicking ico or program will not load. reinstall 4.0 works but when closed it will not reopen.

Do you get any error messages?
Make sure that Firefox closes properly and that there isn't a hanging Firefox or plugin-container process left in the task manager.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Kill_application
Use "Firefox/File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit") to close Firefox if you are currently doing that by clicking the close X on the title bar.

Some of my bookmarks will not load the website

the first 25 of my bookmarks will load fine but after that none of them will
They were all working fine before today and there have been no changes to my computer etc that I am aware of
Any ideas anyone ?

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item: 
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]] 
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
Thank you.

My Bookmarks will not load or sync

I have three computers, two of which sync beautifully, the third will sync calanders, address book etc, but not Safari bookmarks. All have the proper items checked in the sync menu, all are running the same version of the software, etc. I have unregistered and registered the computer in question, erased all of the bookmaks and tried to re-sync, deleted safari and reinstalled, all to no avail.

I can't believe no one else is having this problem! I can load bookmarks that are backed up, but Safari will not sync the bookmarks. It claims to have successfully synced, but the added bookmaks that appear on .mac are not there. I just don't get it.

Laptop will not load from restarting screen. Help!!

Hi,
     So I had this problem for a while that every time I used my Macbook Air a message popped up saying 'Start up disk full make space by deleting files' or something like that, so I deleted lots of files that I didn't need. (However my storage is still almost full with 'Other'?)
     So after I had done this my computer froze on some work I was doing so I pressed the power button in order to restart. Since then (yesterday) I haven't been able to access my desktop and files as the screen will only load the start up screen, with the gray apple and spinning wheel, but not progress past this point. I have tried performing the Hardware test and also pressing 'cmd' + 'R' whilst restarting, but nothing seems to work.
Please help!

Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
Step 1
The first step in dealing with a startup failure is to secure the data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since the last backup, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to start. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
     a. Start up from the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
b. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, start the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
c. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
Step 2
If the startup process stops at a blank gray screen with no Apple logo or spinning "daisy wheel," then the startup volume may be full. If you had previously seen warnings of low disk space, this is almost certainly the case. You might be able to start up in safe mode even though you can't start up normally. Otherwise, start up from an external drive, or else use either of the techniques in Steps 1b and 1c to mount the internal drive and delete some files. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation.
Step 3
Sometimes a startup failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
Step 4
If you use a wireless keyboard, trackpad, or mouse, replace or recharge the batteries. The battery level shown in the Bluetooth menu item may not be accurate.
Step 5
If there's a built-in optical drive, a disc may be stuck in it. Follow these instructions to eject it.
Step 6
Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to start up, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can start up now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
Step 7
If you've started from an external storage device, make sure that the internal startup volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
Start up in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know the login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
When you start up in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, the startup volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 10. If you ever have another problem with the drive, replace it immediately.
If you can start and log in in safe mode, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then restart as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
If the startup process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
Step 8
Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select the startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then restart as usual.
Step 9
Reinstall the OS. If the Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
Step 10
Do as in Step 9, but this time erase the startup volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically restart into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer the data from a Time Machine or other backup.
Step 11
This step applies only to models that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery: all Mac Pro's and some others (not current models.) Both desktop and portable Macs used to have such a battery. The logic-board battery, if there is one, is separate from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a startup failure. Typically the failure will be preceded by loss of the settings for the startup disk and system clock. See the user manual for replacement instructions. You may have to take the machine to a service provider to have the battery replaced.
Step 12
If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.

.psd document will not open from Recent menu?

I have a Photoshop project saved on my computer that A) will not show up from within Photoshop and B) when I do attempt to open it using the Apple Recent menu, nothing happens.
Any ideas? Thanks so much!

Hi akillian24;
Since Photoshop is an Adobe product, you will probably find more help if you ask there.

I am having an issue with external editing from lightroom to CS5! From develope>edit in CS5>images does not load! CS5 loads but the MAC finder app comes up asking me to choose a file! Never have I seen this. I looked into the preferences and the external editing, but its in the external editing already. Help!

Make sure your external editor settings link to the application in support files (hidden on Lion) rather than a shortcut.

New websites typed into address bar or clicked from bookmarks will not load, links searched in google can not be clicked but if opened in a new tab the tab opens but nothing loads. This seems to hapen on a daily basis and requires a computer restart.

Firefox does not crash.
It is not unresponsive.
New websites can not be loaded.
Websites currently open in tabs are still able to be used and continue to work fine... all links in running websites seem to work.
Google is able to be loaded in a new tab (possibly because it had been run previously), search works but searched items can not be loaded.

This forum is for the Shockwave Player - the plugin for running Adobe Director files in a browser. You need a forum for the Flash Player - the Shockwave Flash plugin. Blame Macromedia for confusing the name space of the 2 separate and distinct plugins
