Browser window gone! Happened when I downloaded bar "partially" to get coupon. cancelled before finished. Deleted it in computer...still no browser
Made the unwise decision looking for a coupon to download a bar. Canceled before it finished .. went into computer and deleted. Everything there on my page except the browser window/bar My page is I think an AOL Firefox page. When I turn on computer normally I have a big search engine in the middle which I ignore. I go to browser and start www.aol (never have to finish..drop box has log in..click)& Huffington post comes with email available. Have my news & then go to email. I like that! Now NO browser window!! To get to email had to go to history and find past & update! Clicked on browser control...warnings & error! How do I fix this? Not tech y so please easiest fix?!
Windows 7...apparently Firefox auto took me to 25.0.1.
Normally have only good things to say...this was my doing...hope you all can help me easily undo!!
Well now I have lost my Firefox emblem, file, edit, history, etc. & most important can't click on help or settings because all is gone! I was able to get into mail before by going to history and finding AOL.
Now I can click at top and still have open windows at top and one is AOL...but if lose that & I'm really lost!!
When on AOL there is only that page...nothing else. At some point yesterday I clicked on settings (I think) & somehow stumbled on page that said the following...
Config Proxies to access (something) then boxes I'll list not marked but one marked.
no proxy...auto detect proxy...manual proxy config (Use system proxy was checked) then many many things with boxes not filled in...like HTTP,SSI,FTP, Socks host...below that socks v5 checked.
Then a box that said above no proxy for...inside said, local host 127.0.0.1
Below box it said Example: Mozilla.org.net.nz or maybe mz...192.168.l.0/24
Then an unchecked box saying:proxy config URL:
I am truly afraid to touch anything but what do I have to lose now...guess nothing. Have read all the problems everyone is having..whats up with all that!! Read somewhere that if I had an AOL proxy setting I have to un-install Firefox & start over. Honestly that is beyond me...my son first installed everything on computer when new. Apparently I had checked for firefox to auto update... knew there were problem's with this...or maybe I just got tired of them telling me & did it myself.
Where do I, a novice, go from here? I gathered I caused this myself when I tried the d___ bar for coupons. This is when everything happened. Should I go to one of those free places to check for malware? Must go now but will check for response later aft. Thank you for trying to help me!

Someone did some mayhem, to my " new to me " Apple eMac G4. I came home, (the G4 was asleep) when I woke it, the trash was an eject button, I had two web pages minimized, I went on line and Firefox worked as it had before. After, I shut it down that evening, it wouldn't start up the next day, and, when, I tried, to downnload, it, I get Firefox app could not be launched -10661.
Firefox 4 versions and later do not run on a PowerPC Mac.<br />
Firefox 4 and later require at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.

For an unofficial Firefox 8 compatible version (TenFourFox) that runs on PowerPC Macs with OS X 10.4.11 or OS X 10.5.8 you can look at:

Firefox won't open/connect tp the internet. Explorer opens and connects. Windows firewall turned off. No other antivirus program running. Happened when I downloaded new Firefox update.
I had the same problem when i dl-ed a new anti-virus softward, but what I did help me reconnect Firefox again!
Here is what I did,
Go to open firefox browser-->option-->advanced-->network-->settings-->and change it to auto-detect proxy settings for this network!
It worked for you, hope it will work for you too =)!

Where has my airport utility window gone? When I double click on the airport utility icon all I get is a picture of a globe and a base station with no further options available to modify my airport extreme.
Sorry, you lost me on that last post.
Let's start over again.
Open AirPort Utility on your Mac
Are you asked for a password at this point? If yes, enter the base station or device password that you used when you originally set up the AirPort router. Depending when you did this originally, you might have been given an option to use the same password as the wireless network. If you were not, then you have a separate password for the base station.
You need that password to be able to access the settings for the AirPort router in AirPort Utility.
If you see a window listing basic information, click Edit in the upper right corner of the window.
If you are asked for a password, you must enter the device password or base station password that you established when you first set up the AirPort router as explained above.
If you forgot the password, a Soft Reset will allow you to go in and reset the base station password. Might be a good idea to write down that password.
If you are still stuck, then the only option that you have at this point is to perform a Hard Reset to return the settings to factory defaults and then set up the AirPort router again.
If you prefer, you can also do a Factory Default Reset. It's the same as a Hard Reset except for the timing of holding in the reset button. -
I have photoshop CS 4 extended. Just recently I purchased a Canon 70D as well as a Dell 17 Inspiron with windows 7. When I download my pictures from my camera to the computer, they will not open up in raw, only jpeg. I contacted Canon, and they told my to try something but it did not work. How do I get my raw pictures to open up in CS 4 on my new computer from my new Canon 70D?
You will never be able to open your raw files from your new camera in CS4.
You need version 8.7.1 of the Camera Raw plug-in (ACR), which only runs in CS6 and higher.
You need to locate, download, install and run the free, stand-alone application Adobe DNG Converter on each batch of raw files from that camera, in order to convert them to raw DNG files that can be subsequently opened by ACR in CS4.
Remember you need to launch and run the DNG Converter on each folder (not files) containing your Canon raw files. THe DNG Converter doesn't do it magically for you just sitting on your HD.
Or you can upgrade. -

why my firefox stopped loading when I want to open a new tab? this will continue if I do not move the mouse. this is also happen when I download. if I does not move the mouse, the download process stops or stagnant ormanaged to download but not full
hey, just to keep you updated - there is now a fix available for firefox 25, which should address the particular problem of pages not loading unless the mouse is moved.
if you have downgraded to firefox 24 to work around the issue, please go to ''firefox > options > advanced > update'' and turn automatic updates back on. then go to ''firefox > help > about firefox'' which should trigger the update to firefox 25.0.1.
<br>in case you need to download the setup file for firefox 25.0.1 separately you can do so from https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/channel/#firefox -
The video sound faster than video ipad mini, this happen when I download the iOS 7.1 to my iPad mini, how can I fix that? Or just wait till Mac release a new version update, also some game and apps doesn't open or when open they close, please help!!!
Start by closing all apps and resetting your iPad and see if that helps with any of your issues.
To close an app, drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it. Close all of the apps on the iPad this way.
Reset 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. -

When I download a document, I get a message saying download was successful, but a blank screen where the document should be. What am I doing wrong?
I go to an internet company and try to download a document from it. A tab pops up saying the download was successful, but all I see is a blank screen with UI at the top. I don't understand where the download is going.Thanks so much for your reply fanboy20.
Yes, just made sure of that. I do have the latest version of Flash player. But I have just staggered upon the answer. Chalk it up to being a newbi. I was not putting my apple tv to sleep and it would not allow me to see
you tube on my computer while it was still operating on my TV. When I realized that, I put the apple tv to sleep and bingo, my computer runs you tube fine. Thanks again for your response. -
Could someone please help me, I bought my daughter an iphone 4s for her birthday yesterday and I set it up for her so she could use it straight away, now we share emails, facetime and when i download an app she gets it too, very annoying for us both.
you can use the same apple id for purchasing apps and music if you want, but turn off automatic downloads. it may be better to have separate ones, but if you want the same app you'd have to pay twice. that's something you'll have to think about. for all the other stuff like facetime and messages and icloud you need to have separate icloud id's. see the apple link below.

The version you are currently using, Firefox 3.6.13, is the latest version of Firefox for OS X 10.4
If you are trying to use the Firefox 4 betas, they require at least OS X 10.5. There is a third-party version of Firefox 4 beta that works on OS X 10.4, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/ -
