Can't click on links in an email and successful launch browser/link. Get a "General failure" error message. "A failure occured sending the command to the application."
This started happening after I updated my firefox version - exactly why I'm usually reticent to do so. If I click on a link or image in an email I get the aforementioned error message. Please help.
Is Firefox your default browser? You have to have a default browser because the email client just sends out a notice to the default browser.

Old imac using snow leopard printed just fine to Ricoh cl2000n printer that is connected to airport extreme via ethernet (as was the imac). New iMac with Lion otherwise same cable configuration and the computer cannot find the printer. It searchs and spits out a generic error message. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Is your printer listed?

If not then you need to get the driver and install it.
Otherwise you may want to reset the printing system.

Since upgrading to Firefox 4.0 I've been receiving irritating messages every time I click through via a link embedded in a document or an email. The message says "An error occurred in sending the command to the application". How can I remove it?
Certainly!
This is the module in our eMac 1.42:
1GB PC2700 DDR 333MHz CAS 2.5 184 Pin DIMM
The vendor, Other World Computing, ships to the UK but I suspect the shipping would make it pricy. I also trust this vendor:
Apple G4 eMac 1.42GHz (184 Pin PC2700 DDR DIMMs)
Between the two vendor's description, you should have a good idea of the Specs
PPC Macs do not like hi-density PC RAM. That's why I linked these two; they send the right stuff to Mac users.
Crucial UK is usually cited as good but, like their US counterpart, seldom go against Apple's outdated specs. See:
http://www.crucial.com/uk/store/listparts.aspx?model=eMac%20(1.42GHz)&Cat=RAM
They show the max RAM for your model as 1GB--yesterday's news. However, if you order their offering for a G5 iMac, you get the larger modules. Here is a listing for a 2GB kit (2 x 1GB modules) of the right config:

Hope this didn't muddy the water!

I updated Firefox yesterday to 3.6.9. When I receive a URL link in an email within Outlook, I cannot open the link in Firefox. As I said in the question, when I click on the link, a Microsoft Office Outlook error message appears which states that a General failure has occurred in sending the command to the application (which is Firefox). I am using Office 2007 This did not occur prior to the upgrade of Firefox.
See this lnk for a fix, it worked for me!

I have been unable to download adobe acrobat pro, which I purchased on a month to month basis almost exactly 1 year ago, since I purchased it. I just received a renewal email and it had a link to download the program and for the first time when I clicked on the link it actually sent me to a page that had the icon to download now. I clicked on that, but when I went to open the file and start downloading after about 3 minutes into downloading it says an error had occurred. Can anyone help me?
I am a little worried. If you are an existing subscriber why would Adobe need you to download... I wonder if the message is a fake.
I'm not clear, if you've had it for a year, whether you need to download, or you are just following the email?
This page with the icon to download now. Was it a page on adobe.com ? -

My MX892 is clicking and can not draw paper - I get a load paper error message - any suggestions?
Hi keciakh,
To try and get the paper to feed, with a flashlight or other bright light, please check the paper feed area of the printer and verify that there are no paper jams or obstructions in the printer that may be causing the error. Once this has been done, please look inside of the printer where the inks are located and ensure that there are no obstructions in there that may be causing the print head not to move freely. Next, please remove and reseat all of the ink tanks in the printer. Once all of these steps have been performed, please follow the steps below to perform a roller cleaning on the printer:
You need to prepare: three sheets of A4 or Letter-sized plain paper
1. Make sure that the power is turned on.
2. Open the paper output tray gently.
3. Select Roller cleaning.
(1) Press the MENU button.
(2) Select Setup, then press the OK button. The setup menu screen will appear.
(3) Select Maintenance, then press the OK button. The Maintenance screen will appear.
(4) Select Roller cleaning, then press the OK button.
The confirmation screen will appear.
(5) Select Yes, then press the OK button.
(6) Select the paper source to clean (Rear tray or Cassette), then press the OK button.
4. Clean the paper feed roller without paper.
(1) Follow the message to remove any paper from the paper source you selected in (6) of step 3.
(2) Press the OK button. The paper feed roller will rotate as it is cleaned.
5. Clean the paper feed roller with paper.
(1) Make sure that the paper feed roller has stopped rotating, then follow the message to load three or more sheets of A4 or Letter-sized plain paper in the paper source you selected in (6) of step 3.
(2) Press the OK button. The machine starts cleaning. The cleaning will be complete when the paper is ejected.
(3) When the completion message appears, press the OK button. The screen will return to the Maintenance screen.

I changed from IE to Firefox. When I click on a shortcut in an email, I get the message "an error occurred in sending the command to the application" in Outlook. It doesn't stop Firefox opening and going to the site, but is annoying.

Prior to the upgrade, with FFox open, I could click on a link in a message in the Ms Outlook 2010 program and then it would open in Ffox.
Now with every click, the full error message states "General failure. The URL was < url listed >. An error occurred in sending the command to the application." After the OK button another message asks "Was this information helpful?"
When click I received a choice of Yes, No, or Cancel with the response going to the Microsoft Customer Experience Improvement center.
It could be a Ms error but it started after the new version of Ffox.See this lnk for a fix, it worked for me!

not able to make outgoing calls in iphone4. Regularly i face this problem, at the same time i receive incoming call, can do net surfing, can access email and sms, only outgoing calls get failed every time. please answer to solve this problem
Good day Sidharth Namrta,
It sounds like you are unable to make any calls, but you can recieve them, and everything else seems to work fine. I recommend you use the troubleshooting in the following article to help you get that resolved, named:
iPhone: Troubleshooting issues making or receiving calls
Follow the steps below to resolve this issue. Please test after each step.
Toggle airplane mode: Tap Settings > Enable Airplane Mode, wait five seconds, then turn off airplane mode.
Check your phone settings:
Check your Do Not Disturb settings: Tap Settings > Do Not Disturb.
Check for any blocked phone numbers: Tap Settings > Phone > Blocked.
See if Call Forwarding is turned on: Tap Settings > Phone > Call Forwarding.
Ensure that your software is up to date:
Check for a carrier settings update.
Check for an iOS software update.
Note: Some updates may require a Wi-Fi connection.
If the iPhone has a SIM card, reseat the SIM card.
If the iPhone 4 or iPhone 4s is on the Verizon network, dial *228 from the iPhone and select option 2 to update the Preferred Roaming List (PRL). The PRL determines the cellular towers the phone uses for cellular service, selecting those with the best signal strength.
Reset the network settings: Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Try to make or receive calls in another location.
Attempt to isolate to one network band:
If you're having the issue on LTE, disable LTE, if possible, and try again.
If you're having the issue on 3G/4G, disable 3G/4G, if possible, and try again.
Contact the carrier to check the following:
Your account is properly configured to use the specific iPhone that has the issue.
There are no localized service outages.
Your account doesn't have a billing-related block.
Your calls don't have errors on the carrier system.
Restore the phone as new.
If the above steps don't resolve the issue, go to an Apple Retail Store, carrier, Apple Authorized Reseller, or contact AppleCare to send the phone in for service.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,

A box with this error: "there was a problem sending the command to the program" always pops up upon clicking any URL sitting in my desktop (or from any other folder). It will not happen if Firefox is already open. However, it is only an annoyance as the page fully opens with no problem.
It started after I downloaded Firefox 4 beta ver 12. It continued after upgraded with RC1. It did not happen in my latest version of Firefox 3.6.x which I removed after installing 4 RC1This has happened to me many times but on the older FF 3 It could be a small bug, One should list the PC's being used as it could be related? Mine is an E-Machine Mod, W3609 running W7.

After updating to Firefox 3.6.10 this morning, Outlook 2007 can no longer open up links embedded in emails. Normally when you clicked a link it would open up Firefox and send you to the website, but when you click on any link it now says:
General failure. The URL was: [url here]
An error occurred in sending the command to the application.
I don't know what happened. I didn't change any other settings on the computer.
I am running Windows 7 64 Professional, MS Outlook 2007 with latest updates, and Firefox 3.6.10Please read this article to see if it helps:
