  • I cannot open firefox from my desktop or start menu

    I cannot open firefox from my desktop or start menu. this happened last night. IE will open and functions properly. I have the latest version of firefox installed. thank you

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

  • I am running safari 7.0.6 with IOS 10.9.4. after the mac has been asleep and I log on I cannot open safari as it appears to have crashed. the workaround to this is to reboot the IOS and log back in after which safari will open.

    I am running safari 7.0.6 with IOS 10.9.4. after the mac has been asleep and I log on I cannot open safari as it appears to have crashed. the workaround to this is to reboot the IOS and log back in after which safari will open. Any ideas on how to resolve this?

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if iTunes crashed, you would enter "iTunes" (without the quotes.)
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    ☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    ☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

  • SIMBL Error when opening Safari from the desk tray

    I get a SIMBL Error when I open Safari from the desk tray. The error reads:
    SIMBL Error: Safari 3.0.4 version 523.12 has not been tested with plugin PCB (null) (v19).
    Any idea on the origin of this error? I have recently turned on parental controls -- could that have anything to do with the PCB plugin? Where do I see a list of installed Safari plugins?

    The PCB error is related to a Parental Control Bar plug-in which is incompatible with the recently updated Safari
    http://www.parentalcontrolbar.org/
    To eliminate the error, ...
    "This is probably installed under Macintosh HD > Library > Application Support > SIMBL > Plugins > PCB.bundle. If you simply remove this, Safari should be happy. (If you installed it somewhere else, then just use Spotlight to find PCB.bundle.)" Taken from Apple Discussion Board, Topic : Safari 3.0.4: Plugin-not-loaded alert window
    I have not re-installed the plug-in so cannot comment as to whether it is updated for Safari 3.04. Otherwise, error disappeared.

  • I have Photoshop CS5, and use windows XP.  I cannot open Bridge from photoshop, whichI have done for years. When I am in Photoshop,when it opens, I always click on the bridge icon at the bottom of the screen, and it puts me into bridge. This is not happen

    I have Photoshop CS5, and use windows XP. I cannot open bridge from photoshop, which I have done for years.  When I am in Photoshop, when it opens, I always click on the bridge icon at the bottom of the screen and it puts me into bridge. This is not happening, the small wheel at the bottom of the screen just keeps spinning. Its like its stuck or caught in a loop. I can't get into bridge. I tried shutting down and starting up again but  the problem remains. Looking for help.  Dan

    Thanks for your response, I was able to open bridge from File-Browse in Bridge.  This worked, but was not able to go back to the way I always opened Bridge.  At least I could get to Bridge and go into Camera Raw. I never tried to open Bridge from the Start menu.  The odd thing about this is, it has happened before, and to get it "unstuck" and working again, I would shut down and restart again in a few minutes, and things would go back to normal.  This time it did not go back to normal after several attempts.  I shut down for about 3-4 hours, restarted, and it seems to be back to normal again. I am not sure if it's a problem that is getting worse each time it happens.       And yes I am using Mini Bridge in photoshop CS5.  Thank you for your help.  Dan

    Hello, when you try Tylerdowner's reply make sure that you '''do not install Firefox using a limited Windows XP account''', you need sp2 and above in your xp.
    thank you

    When I open safari from the dock it opens as a small window at the top of the screen that is totally white and does not have a tool bar or exit options.  All I can do is force quit to exit.  What do I do?

    With Safari open, press Command ,   (comma) to open Safari Preferences then select the Extensions tab.
    Turn that off, quit (or force quit) Safari then relaunch to test.

    Do you really expect that someone will be able to help you with the amount of information you provide...?

    What exactly means "cannot"?

  • Cannot copy file from desktop to media card

    Whenever I try to copy a file from my desktop to my media card I get an error. When I use the desktop manager software I get the message 'one or more files cannot be copied: FILE_NAME'. When I use Windows Explorer to try the same thing I get the message 'Cannot copy FILE_NAME: parameter is incorrect'.
    I do have a proper connection from the desktop to the blackberry because I can open files on the media card and update them. I just have the problem copying the files.
    I have been able to copy the files from the desktop to the device memory. Then move it from the device memory to the media card. But there should be no difference between the device memory and the media card.
    Note: The file I am trying to copy is a data file (.PDF). While I was having the same problem with music files, I found if I went into advanced parameters from desktop manager and specified the audio file type & bitrate I was able to copy the music file without errors.
    I have a blackberry curve 8300
    16GB media card

    When I try to move the files from the Finder Window with the files on the DVD, I do not get the plus sign when I try to drag it to the desktop or any other window. Even when I try with the option key pressed, there is no plus sign with the mouse arrow. Someone suggested to use the terminal and I did. It was a hassle, though.

  • Cannot open files from USB external harddrive in XP

    Used this same harddrive in previous iMac OSX10.4 / Windows XP computer and it worked perfectly. Also used in computer labs for Macs and Windows at school. Never any problems. Fresh new Macbook pro and XP PRO install and while in XP the drive is visible but you cannot open a file directly from the folders in windows explorer. You can however drag a file to the desktop and it will open it there. There is something in the file path which XP / bootcamp is not liking? Files open perfectly from my XP on my HP. Ideas?

    Went into administrative/disk management and poked around. Just changed drive letters and all is OK. Thanks anyway.
