Browser inexplicably closes, then won't load previous browsing session

A couple of days ago, I had Firefox open when it unexpectedly closed. I found it odd that there was no crash report left its wake, but didn’t think much about it. I rebooted and reloaded the previous session. I waited and waited and waited. I knew something was wrong because it was taking way too long. All the tabs popped up and I could even read the titles, but it seemed to be stalling. What little interaction I had was very delayed. It was like it was stuck in some kind of loading limbo. I gave up waiting and rebooted the browser a couple of times, even restarted the computer. With still no luck, I reluctantly hit a restore point on my computer and it was back to normal. Until today. Within an hour (maybe less) it suddenly crashed and like last time, there was no crash report. I reboot the browser and the loading problem ensued. I used a restore point twice and it kept closing, followed by the loading stubbornness. I even checked to see if there was a program mucking it up. Finding and confirming three suspicious culprits, I removed them, but after another reboot attempt for both the browser and computer, the issue reared its ugly head. My only salvation seems to be restore points, but I’d prefer not to have to keep doing this - especially if it keeps occurring every half hour or so.

I've yet to try safe mode, but I will later if need be. As to the first question. I'm positive it's not something I'm visiting. Not only am I on different sites when it did this, but the very first time it crashed liked that, I was in a private window and had yet to restore the previous session, still on my homepage.
Something to add that may or may not help is that after I gave up (for the time being at least) I decided to simply start a fresh session, opening several new tabs. When I rebooted I was able to restore that session with no problem. I honestly don't know what that means, though. Too many variables for my layman understanding.

My camera freezes when i try reverse camera shutter closes then won't open

i tried facetime i could see other side but they could not see me that is when i found out my camera freezes when i use reverse camera the shutter closes and won't open

I had the same problem, and it happened within the first 2 weeks of purchasing the ipod. I had tried everything, including resetting it, restoring it, putting the app on the second homescreen, and trying other camera apps. Nothing worked. What I did was fill out a service request form on this website, and since it doesn't actually have anything for the camera, I submitted it under blank black screen and wrote about the camera problem in the notes area.
I sent it out UPS (you won't have to pay, UPS knows the address and procedure well) on a Saturday, and got a brand new one sent to me and in my hands by Wednesday.
If you send yours out, you'll want to back up all your apps and music etc on your computer before sending it, you will not get the same ipod back.
But it was quick and worth it.
I really hope this helps =]

Premiere cs6 won't load cs5 file

This project contained a sequence that could not be opened. No sequence preview presetfile or codec could be associated with this sequence type.
The project was created in CS5. I get this messge again, again, and again, even after CS6 DID work once. CS6 is supposed to load CS5-created premiere project and sometimes converts it, etc. Then won't load the converted project!!!!!
I am using creative cloud.
What is going on?

Jim, Thanks for the quick reply. The problem is indeed a missing codec, viz. intra100. There is a related problem that Adobe apparently has not solved: A/c to a technician. CS5 overwrites CS6 files and vice-versa (in creative cloud anyway). So, I am constantly having to re-activate CS6 because of using CS5 for things like markers.
The tech said they would be working on it (two or three months ago). Have you heard anything on this issue?
I am wondering if there is any simple way just to copy this particular coded for the moment.
Thanks again.

My ipod touch broke then replaced it with a new one. I already dloaded iOS5 on the old one. When I connected my new unit it says it won't load the previous back because the new one is not up to date... Do I really have to download iOS5 again?

Yes, you have to update the iPod in order to retore from backup. The iOS on the "new" has to be aequal to r greater than on the iPod from which the backup was made. The iOS downloads are unique to an iDevice and model (the one for a 3G iPod will not work for a 4G iPod).

Hi,
Please try resetting preferences?
On Windows: Goto %appdata%\Adobe\Elements Organizer\12.0\Organizer folder and rename the files “psa.prf” (to say psa_old.prf) and “status.dat” (to say status_old.dat).
Try launching Organizer and see if it launches fine.

Attempting to do private browsing session froze Firefox, then won't restore one of the 2 windows I had open (with multiple tabs in each). Only 1 window is able to be restored now.

I had 2 windows open in Firefox. Each had multiple tabs open in each window. I then attempted to do private browsing session, but then a pop-up box appeared asking me something about a script (related to private browsing). This froze Firefox. So I had to close Firefox using ctrl-alt-del. I tried to re-open Firefox, but only one of the windows will restore now (with the tabs that were previously open). I clicked on "History" in the menu bar and the "Recently Closed Windows" phrase is grayed out. Is there a way to go about restoring this window? I considered doing a restore to 3 days ago in my History tab, but I am worried that this will erase all the bookmarks I've made in the past 3 days. I've also considered going manually into history and trying to forage through each, but many of these tabs have been open for about a 3-4 weeks now as I've been keeping them all open for research. So they would be buried under hundreds-thousands of other pages. (I've done a lot of browsing). Should I just call it a loss? I appreciate any help.

I removed add-on BetterPrivacy. No problems since then anymore.

How do I fix my animation presets for text that won't load? It seems to get locked in loop and I am forced close Adobe Bridge.

How do I fix my animation presets for text that won't load? It seems to get locked in a loop when I click on one and I am forced to "fore close" Adobe bridge which After Effects uses to locate the presets. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

What is your exact workflow? The proper procedure is to select your text layer in AE, find the text preset you want to use, then drag or double click that preset to apply it to your project.
It also helps if we know your version of AE and OS down to the decimal point. You didn't give us much to go on.

I just updated to the latest aperture, i have projects previously saved on a drive (in the old version) that now won't load... how do i update them?

Hi,
i just updated to the latest aperture, i have projects previously saved on a drive (in the old version) that now won't load... how do i update them?

But, unless I missed something, you are doing the repair with Aperture 3.5 so if 3.5 can't open an earlier library before doing the upgrade then unless I'm missing something the library will be upgraded before the repair is run, no?
OT:
You got me there, Frank - I wondered about the same thing, but Aperture is behaving differently, when upgrading a library, depending on if you are launching into the First Aid Tools or not.
I repeated my experiments, to explore this difference:
I restored an Aperture 3.4.3 library and launched the First Aid Tools:
Apertur went directly into First Aid Mode without first asking to upgrade.
Then "Repair" asked to be allowed to upgrade the library as you predicted.
During the upgrade "Aperture"showed "Rebuilding", not "Repairing" or "upgrading".
Second experiment: When I only double-click the 3.4.3 library instead of repairing, the upgrade alert is very different:
It takes a shorter time and does not show "rebuilding".
I am quite certain, that Aperture will use a different upgrade prodecure, when launched into the First Aid panel for repairing or rebuilding.

One web page won't load in any browser

I have one site that all of a sudden, won't load in any stand-alone browser (have tried Firefox, Camino, Safari, Opera). I get a time-out error. The will load, however, if I use the AOL browser or a cloaking site. I checked with my ISP which says it doesn't block any site. In fact, the rep said he had no problem going directly to the site. I have turned off firewall, shut down and restarted AirPort and DSL modem, reloaded software to AirPort, all to no avail. Does anyone have any idea what's causing this or how to fix it?

That site works fine for me.
You need Flash to use their facility.
The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
(You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
Note that Adobe requires you to uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):

and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first.

Distribution won't create .cds file or load previous .cds file

I have successfully created a distribution for my CVI8.0.1 application, and deployed it with no problems. However, although the settings work, a .cds file never gets created - I checked in the directory. When I close CVI and start it up again, it complains that the .cds file is missing. My distribution settings are gone, and I have start all over again, from 'Manage Distributions > New' etc. I also can not add a .cds file to the Manage Distributions->Add that I can see in the directory and that has beeen previously created.
This is new thing, I was previosly able to create .cds files and load previously created .cds files. Nothing, as far as I know has changed on my PC. I am running Windows XP. I reinstalled CVI but it did not help.
All of the code is in clearcase, several people (at different times) edit the files in the project and create distributions. Other people also running CVI8.0.1 can create .cds files.
What can I do?
Lorrie

I've made a modified version of cvi.dll to log some operations. Swap the attached version out with the one in your National Instruments\CVI80 directory (make sure to back up the original so you can restore it later). Then launch CVI, open the Manage Distributions dialog, and try to add an existing .cds file. Close CVI, then look for the log file c:\cvi_log.txt and post it back here.
Hopefully if we can figure out what's failing in the add, it will explain why the save is failing, too.

My iPhone 4S won't load email messages from my local carrier. It works sometimes and then won't. The local carrier says it is not them and to contact apple. Been happening since got Kindle Fire. Could this be doing it?

My iphone 4S won't load email messages from my local carrier on a regular basis. It says cannot get mail in use on another device. I thought everything was to sync together? Local carrier tells me it is Apple not them. It's been happening since I got my Kindle Fire about a month ago. Any ideas how to make everything work together????? Does it when kindle is off to sometimes. Thanks.

Hi Maquillage,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. I would recommend troubleshooting the iPhone by following the instructions in this article:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
Resolution
If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
Let charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
Cheers,
- Ari

You said you updated yur 1G iPod to 4.2.1. A 1G can only go to 3.1.3 and thus you must have jailbroken it to get to 4.2.1 and that can cause problems.

I have the same problem.. apps won't download and won't open. I have a 1st Gen ipod touch and recently upgraded my MacBook Pro (2012) and as soon as I upgraded the iPod Touch to 4.2.1, this happened.

Apple tech charges $29.99 for out of warranty products and if I am reluctant to pay with them telling me its simply a hardware problem.

TS2755 I am trying to find a message from 2012 and when I load previous messages it only goes back so far then the program quits and sends me to the home ( main) screen. How can I find the message and get around this?

I am trying to access a message from early 2012. When I load previous messages It will only go back to oct 2012 and then the program stops and kicks my to the home page. Anyone know how I can get to the message? Thanks.

Try Spotlight Search
1. From any Home screen page of iPad, drag your finger down anywhere on the center of Home screen.
2. Spotlight search will now appear and you can search for apps, texts, or any other content you'd like just as you did on previous versions of iOS.

Pictures won't load in Safari, or any other browser

I have an intermittent problem where internet pictures won't load. This seems to happen mostly on social networking or picture intensive sites. I've particularly had trouble with myspace, livejournal, facebook, flickr, okcupid, etc., but it is not limited to those sites. Sometimes pics won't load in Safari but will load in firefox. Sometimes the other way around. Sometimes neither of those browsers will work, and neither will opera, explorer, etc. It doesn't seem to matter whether I'm connected by airport or ethernet. I Know it is not my internet connection because I have a PC on the same network that never has this problem. When I travel with my macbook, the problem comes with me.
I am currently running 10.5.2 on a 2 GHZ macbook. Previously, I had this exact same problem on a 550 MHZ Titanium Powerbook G4 running 10.4. I used to think it was just my old slow computer, but when I upgraded computers I transferred all my files and settings with the migration assistant, and the problem seems to have followed.
Things I have tried:
1. Making a new user account. I added a new account but did not delete my old one or do a clean install. This did not work.
2. Using a new DNS server. No dice.
Any suggestions?

Is the iPhone using your Mac to connect?
See if the Mac has any Proxies set...
10.5/10.6 instructions, System Preferences>choose interface>Advanced>Proxies Tab, make sure none are set, like for HTTPS.
