Changing pages, I often get the counterrevolving circle with "connecting". Would go on forever if .....

...I didn't force-quit FF, which then locks up the Mac. Current version of FF, Mac Pro running 10.6.8.

What web pages does this happen? A few sites, many all?

    Foo Not Connected
    Bar -1
    Can anybody help me out as to why I am getting such result while everything is right from my side. Is the program unable to connect to the database or it is not supporting the JDBC version that I am using.
    Thanks in advance

  • I am not able to transfer pictures from my Iphoto file to my external hard drive.  When I drag and drop to the external hard drive, I get the universal circle with a line through it.????

    For some reason, my computer will not let me drop my pictures from the Iphoto location to my external hard drive. 

    The drive is formatted for Windows. To write to it from a Mac, you will either have to reformat it or install third-party software to enable writing to an NTFS volume (not recommended.)

    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.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

    Don't expect any wonders. If you use it heavily with multiple applications running at the same time, nobody can help you. It's physics: more usage => higher energy consumption.
    Here you can find some tips to reduce the battery consumption. My tip: close applications if you don't need them right now and reduce screen brightness.

  • When I try to sync my iPod.,  it does not sync but I get the rainbow circle when I check iTunes status.  It does not sync

  • HT1363 My ipod click wheel will not go into disk mode.  All I get is the red circle with the X in it

    The only thing my ipod will do is display the red circle with the X in it.  I can not put it in disk mode, it won't work.  It's the 160 GB classic with the click wheel.  Is there anything else I can do to make it work again?

    If you are unable to get the iPod into Disk Mode, the Hard Drive is likely damaged and beyond repair. You'll probably want to have it replaced either by Apple or a third party service center.
    Here are Apple's repair prices.

    I'm on pages and for some reason this time, on a blank page, I cannot get the curser to show up.  Any ideas?

    I'll guess that you've opened a page layout template which does not have a text layer, therefore no cursor. You'll need to add text boxes or shapes to type in. If you just want to write a letter or similar, close the current document & then choose a blank document from the word processing section of the template chooser.

  • I movie won't import video from my sony xr150.  I can see the video in the window when I connect the camera but when I select import, I get the spinning circle of doom.

    my brand new mac pro wont download movies on imovie.  I connect my sony XR150 and I can see the clips in the imovie window but when I select import, I get the spinning circle of doom.  Very disappointing.  I just moved from a PC because Mac's were supposed to be much better handling media.

    If Image Capture can recognize your camera and allow you to upload the stills and videos to a folder on the Desktop that's what I would do.  Then you can import those files into iPhoto, FCP or iMovie as you want.

    I keep getting script errors when accessing Amazon Seller merchant pages. I get the following A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete. Script: chrome://spautofill/content/spOverlay.js:150, I also get js210 as well. I have cleared all cookies and history and unistalled Firefaox and reinstalled. Been thru my AVS and set the site as trusted in every possible place. Still get the problem. Do not get it with IE on same PC.
    == URL of affected sites ==
    https://sellercentral.amazon.co.uk

    Same problem but with a different vendor site:
    https://www.webvitamins.com/myfavorites.aspx
    Not only does the page hang, but the other tabs also hang.
    I contacted the vendor and their reply was "we were told that this looks like a script that is used by "Sticky Password", third-party software that must have been installed on your browser. However, our website did not install it and does not have anything to do with it." As far as I can tell, "Sticky Password" is not installed on my Firefox.
    Same problem as above occurs, but with IE 8.0.6001.18702. Therefore, it is not unique to Firefox.
    CAUSE DETERMINED: Have determined that this problem only occurs when Kaspersky Password Manager is installed. In Firefox, if the "Password Manager Autofill Engine" add-on is disabled, the problem goes away.

  • AppleTV stops after about 10 minutes and I get the "spinning circle".  I have re-set the computer's power setting to NEVER shut down, but no help.

    My Apple TV stops playing after about 10 minutes.  It will only work when iTunes is open, so I leave iTunes and and Home Sharing is on.  Everything is fine for about 10+ minutes, then the music stops and I get the "spinning circle".  I've set the computer's power settings to never shut down, thinking that it was stopping because the power went off, but it still stops.  People over for T-giving soon.
