Can Firefox NOT run ads? It slows everything down on my old laptop. This feature used to be an option.

When opening a we page, several active ads start execution, and the response to mouse clicks and arrow movements is severely attenuated. Firefox of old had an option to not run scripts, I think more than once, and this would give my old slower CP a break and allow useful controls again. Possible to re-implement?? I hope??

Sorry Glen, but there is not. And you don't have to upgrade to 10.6 (Snow Leopard). You need at a minimum of 10.5.8 (Leopard).

1st problem see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firewalls
2nd problem, to close Firefox properly use File > Exit
:not with the [x] in upper right corner which close window
:see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_hangs#Hang_at_exit
:if restarting use "Restartless Restart" extension as mentioned there.

It has slowed everything down without any add ons, how do i fix it?

As soon as i downloaded firefox 4 it slowed everything down, i don`t have any add ons, it doesn`t remember all my security settings like passwords or even my name?
I have to keep writing everything in all the time wherever i go or whatever i do.
I`m paying for broadband but i`m not getting it`s speed, it`s very annoying and frustrating when firefox 4 says it`s faster and safer, not on my laptop it`s not?
It will complete almost everything eventually, but it`s painfully slow?
I`ve only got 10meg speed but it`s taking between 1 and 5 minutes to do anything?
I`m only using my laptop for normal stuff like gmail email, eBay, banking, etc.
I don`t use it for games or facebook or porn or anything like that, just basic stuff?
It`s slow all the time for everything?

How can I sync my ipad to a new compuer. My old computer which was used to sync the ipad is dead

How can I sync my ipad to a new computer. My old computer which was used to sync the ipad is dead?

https://discussions.apple.com/message/11527071#11527071
1) Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Edit. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
2) Now connect your iPad to your laptop and start iTunes.
3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your new laptop, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on Edit / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.
That should do it.

When I try to open iweb I get the following message: Can't open file "~/Sites/NAVIGATOR/index.html." How do I fix this? Using 10.6.3 soon to be 10.6.6 and then Lion.

When I try to open iweb I get the following message: Can’t open file “~/Sites/NAVIGATOR/index.html.” How do I fix this? Using 10.6.3 soon to be 10.6.6 and then Lion. I have never opened the product before and have had it on the computer since new.

Go into your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and see if there's a file titled Domain.sites. If there is double click on it and see if iWeb opens.
If there is no Domain file there do the following:
delete the iWeb preference files, com.apple.iWeb.plist and com.apple.iWeb.plist.lockfile, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.

Just switched from safari on my imac. when using search menu safari gave me the option to "find on this page," which was an incredible help while doing research. Is there any way to have this feature using firefox?

Just switched from safari on my imac. When using search menu in safari I had the option to "find on this page," which was an incredible help while doing research and looking for specific phrases/words. Is there any way to have this feature using firefox?

I think Safari has the same keyboard shortcut as Firefox "command+F" on a Mac or "Ctrl+F" on Windows.
Look in the lower left corner for the Find. There are more likely to be differences in Find Next and Find Previous in the keyboard shortcuts, but continuing at the Find bar at the bottom doesn't matter what browser you use. There is an "X" there to dismiss the Find bar. In Windows the "Esc" key will dismiss the bar if you are within the find text entry area.
Keyboard shortcuts:
* [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Keyboard%20shortcuts?s=keyboard&r=0&as=s Keyboard shortcuts | How to | Firefox Help], from Mozilla very limited number of shortcuts but will show correctly for your system
* [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/keyboard.htm Firefox and other Browser Keyboard Shortcuts (Comparison Table)], more comprehensive but is oriented to Windows users with some guidelines for Mac and Linux users.

What do you mean by not very long? How many hours?

With firefox not running, I cannot upgrade as my computer thinks it is still running. Firefox.exe does not appear in the task manager.

I seem to be able to start Firefox only once after I reboot my computer. After that it will not start. I tried upgrading the software using Internet Explorer to get the upgrade file. The installation failed when the computer said I needed to close Firefox to install the upgrade. The task manager didn't show firefox on the list as one of the processes and it wasn't running anywhere on my machine.

Hanging at exit is most frequently caused by an Extension or a Plugin.
'''Kill Application'''
In Task Manager, does firefox.exe show in the '''Processes''' tab?

[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_hangs#Hang_at_exit Firefox hangs at exit]
[[Firefox is already running but is not responding]]
'''Safe Mode'''
You may need to use '''[[Safe Mode]]''' (click on "Safe Mode" and read) to localize the problem. Firefox Safe Mode is a diagnostic mode that disables Extensions and some other features of Firefox. If you are using a theme, switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes '''before''' starting Safe Mode. When entering Safe Mode, do not check any items on the entry window, just click "Continue in Safe Mode". Test to see if the problem you are experiencing is corrected.
See:
'''[[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]'''
'''[[Troubleshooting plugins]]'''
'''[[Basic Troubleshooting]]'''
If the problem does not occur in Safe-mode then disable all of your Extensions and Plug-ins and then try to find which is causing it by enabling '''one at a time''' until the problem reappears. '''You MUST close and restart Firefox after EACH change''' via File > Restart Firefox (on Mac: Firefox > Quit). You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window.

[b]Can't not run the Oracle Universal Installer (Oracle8.1.7 for Linux) on

I have a problem when try to install Oracle8i Release 8.1.7 Enterprise Edition on RedHat Linux 7.3. After I do the pre-installation tasks, i enter the command (runs as the oracle user):
$ /tmp/Disk1/runInstaller
I wait for the one minute and then nothing is happen. I don't understand the reason why the Oracle Universal Installer can't not display! Please tell me all reasons may be!

Sorry the Oracle version should be 1.7 not 1.1.7. I downloaded it from the web site. The JRE I downloaded is jre 1.18 because the installer asked for this version.

I downloaded a JRE from blackdown and make a link to /usr/local/jre and I also tried to make link to the JRE shiped with Oracle8 1.1.7. But I still get same error.

In large PDF files my cursor moves around the page at warp speed. It does not seem to make any difference if I slow it down with Sys Prefs. This is not only in preview but also other programs to open PDFs.

In large PDF files the cursor moves at warp speed with a mind of it's own, I've tried slowing it down in Sys Pref with no luck. On small files cursor action is normal. This happens in Safari, Preview and other programs that use PDF files. Sorry to say this does not seem to be a new problem with 7.# I've had it with prvevious versions of operating system Right now I'm using a Apple wireless mouse and key board. Using the USB keyboard and mouse the same problem does not go away.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

Skype Slows Everything Down

Hi there. I've been having trouble with Skype, and I hope some of you can help. Recently, within the past 2 days or so, Skype slows down my entire computer. It doesn't allow new games to run, and shoots the ping up to around 5000 of games that are already running. My browser will not open new tabs, and I cannot refresh existing tabs. This only happens when Skype is running. I use Skype almost religiously as a way to communicate with friends, and this new problem is frustrating. This has never happened to me before. I tried uninstalling Skype, and then reinstalling it. I've tried countless PC optimizers and they all say that there is nothing wrong. On top of that, whenever I have just Skype open, the messages I send to people take around 5 minutes to send. I've been researching the problem ever since it happened and I can't find any solution.
Please help!

Hi,
What OS (Winkey, winver), and Skype version (Help>About Skype) are you running?
Please run the DirectX Diagnostics Tool (DxDiag.exe). Once complete, click Save All information to save this to a text file. Zip the file and post it here.
Try resetting Skype settings:
1) Exit Skype or use Windows Task Manager to terminate Skype.exe.
2) Open explorer, search for %appdata%. 3) Find the Skype Folder.
4) Rename this folder to something like Skype_Old
5) Now search for %temp%\skype.
6) Delete the folder entitled 'DbTemp'
7) Restart your computer, then launch Skype
You can still get back your conversation history. This data is located in the folder you renamed earlier.

Am I the only one that thinks iTunes slows everything down?

Maybe my computer is just very slow, but I feel like itunes is terrible in terms of memory usage. Every time I start it, it takes forever to boot and slows everything else down. Even if my computer is slow, this is a fault in the program as others don't have this effect... Anyone have feedback?

There's not much in iTunes that would slow the boot process of your computer, since the support processes (Mobile Device Support and Bonjour are the only ones I can think of that start at boot, though I may be forgetting one or two others) that iTunes uses don't start until late in the boot process. So I doubt that all your performance problems stem from iTunes. But you can try uninstalling iTunes - it shouldn't remove your content, but make sure you have a good backup just in case something goes wrong - and see if matters improve. That way you'll know for sure. Alternatively you can try just stopping, or uninstalling, the background processes and see if that makes any difference.
Another possibility is your system's security software, which might be blocking or delaying the launch of some components.
FWIW, I haven't seen any change in the performance of either my Windows XP nor Windows 7 systems after installation of iTunes.
Regards.

ITunes 7 is slowing everything down

I have read about other problems with iTunes 7 - but all my programs on my mac seems to slow way down when iTunes 7 is open.
- iTunes radio stalls A LOT (even more than before)
- firefox is slowed while iTunes 7 is open
- the whole computer slows down while iTunes 7 is open
Is there anyway to downgrade until these problems are fixed? Or anything I can do?

I get this too. Any ideas on what we are suppose to do? It's really frustrating me!

Can Firefox NOT run ads? It slows everything down on my old laptop. This feature used to be an option.
