Cannot get back to original screen

I have trouble accessing the Cablevision.com website under Firefox and I don’t have this problem with I.E. I have seen this problem only on this one website. I have tried this using my Windows 7 laptop and my two XP computers. The problem is that it requires me to click on a link in screen A. This gets me to a screen with a PDF document (says pdf action) and I then get back to the original screen A (slightly modified). In the pdf screen, I have to click on the X in the top right of the screen i.e.. But if I’m in Firefox, this “bounces me out” altogether. When in I.E., I don’t have this problem i.e. I’m able to get back to screen A automatically. Thus Firefox doesn’t know to get back to screen A (slightly modified).. p.s.-I just now cleared both History and Cache and it didn’t help. I’m on Firefox version 3.6.22.

I can't reproduce this, probably because I need an account on the site or because I don't understand your explanation. But this sounds like this is a problem with the website itself, cablevision.com. It could be that the web developers of the site only cared to ensure this works in IE, not for other standards compliant browsers.
If you have support from cablevision, you might want to consider contacting them about the problem?

Hi RWD2,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
To resolve your issue with Facetime freezing when you end a call, I would try the first three steps in the article below.

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 you are using Wi-Fi, it may be helpful to try these troubleshooting steps as well:

I cannot get back from full screen to normal view

On full screen, there is no back button or any button other than the browsing tabs. I have to close firefox using task manager
system is dell mini 10 using windows 7 starter.
latest firefox, 3.6.10 downloaded today

I got a way away from this problem. When in full screen, if you move you mouse to the top right corner of your screen, there would be the options "Close", "Restore" and "Minimize". You should click on restore and the screen would come back to the normal view. Thanks.

Buy the songs that your friend put on the iPod that you liked. They had no right to give you the copyrighted music when they sold you the device.

HT4718 I cannot get past the restore screen

So, big problem. I have had to replace my logic board. Following this, using Mountain Lion, my mac was unusable, just beach ball on every click. I did restore Mountain Lion, but no change. I cannot restore from time machine as I get an error message saying restart. Now, I cannot get past the restore screen, no matter what keys are held at startup. If I hold the option key at startup, I get the recovery disk and back up showing, neither of which can be used.
In short, I'm stuck, any help appreciated!

If you successfully restored the iPod to factory settings/new iPod (went through all the steps without errors), then time for an appointment a the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Another iBook cannot get past the grey screen with spinning gear

I have read the other posts on iBooks not starting up. I too have used Onyx recently but this was to cure the problem of a freeze. Now start up cannot get past the grey screen. PRAM has been zapped and safe mode will not work. Worse, the CD drive will take CDs so cannot go back to start up disk.
Bizarrely, a visit to the Apple Store and the iBook started no problem. System was reinstalled using archive option and various health checks apparently showed no problems. But then got back home and again start up froze at grey screen with spinning gear. I have left it on this for over 15 minutes but to no avail. I have tried to connect to another ibook using T key to get target mode. I'm not sure if I am doing this right. I have started up working iBook plugged in the firewire to both machines and then started up ailing iBook holding down T key. 2nd iBook wont start at all.
Any suggestions?

An Archive and Install will preserve you user settings and data. You will need a minimum of 5 GB free on the hard drive to perform an A&I; you can reduce the space required by about 1 GB by selecting the option to install language support only for the language you use (assuming you don't need multiple languages).
However, after seeing your other post (BTW, it'll be easier to keep track if relted issues are in the same thread), you do not want to try an A&I if Disk Utility is reporting anything about 'could not be repaired'. Doing so will would ensure problems down the road, if it worked at all. It's possible for one disk problem to mask another. Whenever Disk Utility (or any other repair utility) reports making repairs, it's good practice to repeat the repair until it reports no problems found or it becomes clear it cannot repair the disk.
DiskWarrior has an excellent track record at repairing problems that Disk Utility cannot (especially Disk Utility versions prior to OS X 10.4.2).
If the drive cannot be repaired, you may be able to keep it by doing an erase install with the write zeros (one pass) option. That will update the hard drive firmware record of bad disk sectors to avoid using. If there are only a few bad sectors, that may let you keep using the hard drive for several more years. An erase install will do just that to your data, through. If you have access to another Mac with either a large amount of free disk space of a DVD burner, you can try using the other Mac as host and the eMac as target in FireWire target disk mode. You can run the host's copy of Disk Utility on the eMac hard drive, and hopefully be able to mount the emac HD so that you can back up the data in your Home directory.

After selecting "Tones" within iTunes on iPad, I cannot get back to the regular music section. I am eternally stuck inside Tones. Help !!

After selecting "Tones" within iTunes on iPad, I cannot get back to the regular music section. I am eternally stuck inside Tones. Help !! It's driving me nuts.

I copied this from an extremely knowledgable iTunes for Windows user in another discussion. Maybe this will help.
In Windows, you can restore much of the look & feel of iTunes 10.7 with these shortcuts:
ALT to temporarily display the menu bar
CTRL+B to show or hide the menu bar
CTRL+S to show or hide the sidebar
CTRL+/ to show or hide the status bar (won't hide for me on Win XP)
Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the old search behaviour
Use View > Hide <Media Kind> in the cloud or Edit (iTunes) > Preferences > Store anduntick Show iTunes in the cloud purchases to hide the cloud items. The second method eliminates the cloud status column (and may let iTunes start up more quickly)
If you don't like having different coloured background & text in the Album (Grid) view use Edit(iTunes) > Preferences > General and untick Use custom colours for open albums, movies, etc.
With iTunes 11.0.3 you can enable artwork in the Songs and playlist views from View > Show View Options (CTRL+J) making it more like the old Album List view.
If you are a Mac user, all you have to do is start navigating through the menu items at the top of the screen to find just about everything that is mentioned here.

Cannot get beyond 1 st screen on start up

Hi, I installed the latest Safari 3.1 and security update (on 18/03/08) and my Mac worked fine. When I started it today I cannot get beyond the grey screen with the apple logo. I have tried booting holding down the control key and selecting the hard drive icon- but when going via this route- it still hangs.
I have also tried starting with the installation Leopard DVD and trying to repair permissions, but it still hangs. I managed to check the drive and there are 'no errors'. I then connected my back up drive and was going to run time machine. However the list is only showing back ups for 10.5.1 so I would lose any backed up data since February, which I know is on the time machine drive.
So..... can anyone either help me to get my computer up and running via 'normal' procedures/solutions or how to view my time machine back ups since installing 10.5.2? I am posting this from a PC, which goes against the grain. Any help appreciated........
Regards , Tim Barnes.

Hi Able,
Thanks for your suggestion. I had however before reading your post decided to take the bull by the horns and cleaned the disc! I have reinstalled Leopard and then the updates to 10.5.2. I then updated the Safari application (3.1) which I suspect caused the whole problem!
It is still working! I am now gradually building it up to how it was. Lucky I had time machine running, although I have chosen to 'restore' files ad hoc, rather than putting my Mac back to completely how it was.
It seems others are also having the same problem, hopefully the cause will be revealed in due course. My Mac has run perfectly for nearly 2 years until this episode.
Thanks for all your replies, it's great to be part of a supportive and caring Mac community.
Yours,
Tim.

Just installed OS 8.3, it opened and locked into iTunes connection logo as opening screen. I cannot get to any other screen. Hard close down has not solved it and I cannot get to usual homescreen to access the reset options. Ideas?

Earlier today my iPad which was using OS 8.2) kept shutting down every few minutes. I thought it might be some new incompatibility connected with the recent release of OS 8.3,. So, I updated to OS 8.3. It took many attempts and a very long time - over an hour - because the iPad kept shutting down mid-process. Supposedly 8.3 is now installed, but all I get is the Apple logo followed by a screen showing a connection, cursor arrow pointing up-screen to a box reading "iTunes". I cannot get out of that screen to any other screen and can only close by hard shut down, fully powering off (home button + power button). When I restart the device it shows first the Apple logo for a few seconds, then the iTunes connection logo. Nothing else. This has been going on for about three hours now. I am not an iTunes user so I am not sure what to think or what to expect.. Is it maybe something to do with iTunes being updated in the background? 3 hours seems a long time for an update whatever it is. Is anyone else encountering this problem? Does anyone have any suggestions, bearing in mind that I cannot get to the usual opening home screen, so can't get to settings or anything to do a reset. I hope someone can help me with this problem. Many thanks, Glenys2

If it has NEVER been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, read this.

I hit Forget Network and now cannot get back onto my wireless home network. All of my other computers and iphones are fine. How do I get the network back? It shows in my list of networks but when I use the password and try to join it says not connected.

See if the iPad will accept the password after you restart it. It's worth a try.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
You could also try a reset as well.
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 - let go of the buttons.
