    Hi,
    Firefox 8.0 is no longer being maintained or offered for download. The latest version is Firefox 10.0: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
    Please make sure to download Firefox from a legitimate site. Also please note that Firefox by itself doesn't and cannot change OS network settings or hardware settings, other than trying to use different configurations in itself.

  • Macbook Pro won't shut down after installing Yosemite

    Hi,
    I just finished installing Yosemite on my Macbook Pro. It's fairly new, the last version with a DVD drive but without retina display (I bought it in May 2014 and it's my first Mac).
    I installed Yosemite, updated all my applications from the App Store and tried to shut it down from the Finder but the screen just freezes on a black screen wth the pointer showing and then I to shut it down using the power button which I hate doing.
    I turned on FireVault after set up and that is busy encrypting could that be causing this? I did check online and it says you can put your Mac to sleep or shut it down while this is happening, but I haven't been able to. Any tips would be great.

    I had the same problem and just fixed it.
    What I did:
    - Launch Disk Utility > Select Macintosh HD > Verify Disk
    Let the Verify run until it's done
    - If you are seeing any error try the Repair disk
    It's possible you need to restart (holding cmd+r while restarting)
    - Next I did a verify disk permissions and a repair disk permissions
    - reboot
    After this the shutdown issue was gone!
    Hope this solves your problem as well.

  • IMac keep shutting down after installing OSX lion

    Hi,
    I have a mid 2010 27 inch i5 machine and after I had installed OSX Lion last month the machine randomly shut itself down while I'm using it.  At first I thought it was because of a software problem with Final Cut Pro X, since I installed that at the same time and it would shut down while I was using it.  Then it start to shut down while I'm just browsing the net.  Restarting is not a problem but a pain to loose unsafe data when it crashes.
    Does anybody else have this problem?  Again the machine was working fine before OSX Lion so I don't think it's a hardware issue.  On average it would shutdown once or twice per usage day sometime a few minutes after turning on the machine, still cool, and sometime after a while, not excessively hot.
    Appreciate any help and thank you in advance!

  • My computer keeps shutting down.

    My computer keeps shutting down. It just goes black. To turn it back on, I have to wait a few minutes before pressing the button. When it comes back on, it seems to take longer than usual. It seems more likely to do this when I have several programs running at once. There might be a flickering light on the lower right side.
    It's a desktop computer.
    Any guesses?

    I had a similar, but different problem. My iMac running OS 10.5.6 wouldn't start up all the way. I would get the Apple logo and the spike gear on the grey screen, and after a while the computer would go off (black screen). I started from the install disk and got horrifying red messages that disk utility couldn't fix it. AIEEEEE! I bought Disk Warrior, and fearfully rebuilt the disk directory. Problem solved.
    Strangely, neither my Apple store nor a large electronics store carried Disk Warrior. Nobody at the stores knew why, although they said they had lots of inquiries about it. Third try I found DW version 4.1.1. Problem solved.

  • I have an older macbook pro and the hard drive is starting to go (making loud noises). i tried to back up to an external hard drive (my passport essential se) using time machine and the computer keeps shutting down. suggestions to complete backup please?

    I have an older macbook pro and the hard drive is starting to go (making loud noises). i tried to back up to an external hard drive (my passport essential se) using time machine and the computer keeps shutting down. the same thing happens when just trying to save my pictures from iphoto to a flash drive. suggestions to complete backup please?

    Sounds like you'll need to access that drive while it is not booted. You need to replace it anyway, so do that, then one way or another (ext enclusure, et), access it and copy files.
    If you keep trying to boot it, you might kill it for good and not get your files, so just swap it out first.

  • After having shut down after installing updates, when I restarted and tried to open a word file, it started opening ALL the word docs and the only way I could stop it was by"force quit"  arted  and tried to open

    After having shut down after installing updates, when I restarted and tried to open a word doc, it started opening ALL the word docs and the only way I could stop it was by"force quit"  . This is REALLY annoying!!

    May be it is the Resume feature.
    System Preference > General > Number of recent items
    Uncheck the box next to      "Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps".
    Best.

  • My brand new 6th gen ipod nano keeps shutting down after about 30 seconds?

    My new 6th generation ipod nano keeps shutting down after 30 seconds. It has been registered with itunes and has about 200+ songs on it. I have not tried to reset it because i was not sure what this would do. Please help!

    This is usually a sign that your headphones are not plugged all the way in.  Make sure you cannot see any silver still showing from the headphone's plug.  It may require a little extra force to get the headphones to become fully inserted.  You should hear a sort of clicking noise indicating that they have been fully seated.
    Also check the headphone port from a damage or debris.

  • HT4623 My iPhone 4S keeps shutting down after I upgraded to iOS7

    My iPhone 4S keeps shutting down after I upgraded to iOS7

    This has happend twice to me in the past 12 hours since I just updated to iOS 7.0.2, but did not happen after I updated to iOS 7
    Last night the operating system crashed to the Apple symbol (a reset) when browsing the settings menu.
    Perhaps it's a bug with the movement tracking? Seems to be connected with sudden movements (I noticed it shut off when I quickly lifted the phone up to look at the screen) - perhaps the background parallax is glitching the system to a software reset? If my problem persists I may temproarily disable the parallax to see if that mitigates the resets.
    To be clear, the update to iOS 7 didn't precipitate this problem, and I updated to iOS & on the day of its release (9/18).
    This used to happen to me sporadically on my iphone 4s on iOS6, usually when my battery was anywhere at 40% to 5% - though I suspect that was because I was due to re-set the battery by completely draining it.
    Is anyone else having this issue with their iPhone 4S?
    I'm using a Verizon iPhone 4s 64 GB, still in excellent condition.

  • My iTunes keeps shutting down after i plug in my iPod

    My iTunes keeps shutting down after i plug in my iPod. First it just wouldn't open but now it finds my iPod and then shuts down, it closes it's self. can anyone help?

    The five R's don't work because I don't have enough time to restore iPod before it shutsdown, and reinstalling iTunes didn't solve it either.

  • My computer keeps shutting down when i try turn it on

    My computer keeps shutting down when I try turn it on

    Sounds like you may have hard drive issues. 
    You can try using built in diagnostics if you have them by holding D on startup.  If nothing special happens, your model does not have them.  You can then try to boot to recovery by holding Option while starting up and selecting Recovery HD.  (Run Disk Utility Repair)  If no Recovery HD appears, then you have a bad hard drive or an older OS than supports it.
    If neither of those works I'd take it to an Apple store or Authorized Apple Service Provider near you for a diagnostic test.  Apple will do it for free, so it's preferred for a test, but may not be the best price for a simple hard drive replacement.  Head over to locate.apple.com to find the nearest AASPs and Apple Stores and set up an appointment.

  • [Zen Micro] Keeps shutting down after unplugging from comput

    I have owned this player for a year and three and a half months now. I had sent it in for repair before the warranty expired because I kept getting annoying feedback into my earphones. Unfortunately, they didn't fixed it and just sent it right back costing $25+S/H. I went on installing the firmware and loading my music up just fine, but when I unplug it from the computer, it shuts down. I tried several things such as reformatting the thing, but it didn't work and I hadn't checked out the sticky firmware thread so I just left the player alone very frustrated until now.
    I managed to reload the firmware again thanks to that thread but I still have the automatic shut-down problem when disconnecting from the computer. I did noticed that after I unplugged it, the power bar wasn't there before it shut down.
    Your ideas are appreciated but please make sure it's not about sending it back to them. It's out of warranty.
    Note: It does work again after I replace the battery, but I don't want to do this every time I want to load music onto it.

    Is there a sleep timer on the Micro? Did you check for that? (as opposed to Idle Shutdown)

    Hi,
    ever since upgrading from Server 2012 X64 to Server 2012 R2 X64 my dns server keeps shutting down every several minutes before having to do a restart.  When viewing the event log this is all I see..
    The DNS Server service terminated unexpectedly.  It has done this 497 time(s).  The following corrective action will be taken in 60000 milliseconds: Restart the service.
    if I look in the Application Error Log,  I will also find the following:

    I have tried removing and then reinstalling the DNS Server role, but the same situation occurs..
    thanks,

    Hi,
    I'm going crazy,  I've upgraded my Server 2012 Standard to Server 2012 R2 Standard and now my DNS server keeps crashing since the in place upgrade.  I have finally narrowed it down to it only crashes after several minutes if I load the data from
    a file instead of the registry.  As a test I:
    -1- killed all my dns data,
    -2- uninstalled the dns server role
    -3- deleted the /windows/system32/dns directory
    -4- reinstalled the DNS server role
    -5- used the wizard to create a DNS server and a forward zone.
    everything works okay, no crashes,  then I change the advanced propertied of the DNS server to load from file, restart the DNS server and once again it crashes every 2 minutes..
    Please help,  this is killing me..
    thanks in advance..

  • My computer keeps shutting down and I don't know what to do.

    I purchased the student/ teacher version of the cloud membership/ design suite for os x and promptly began downloading the programs that I would use onto my macbook pro. I downloaded photoshop cs6, Bridge, Illustrator, and Acrabat. I havn't used anything but photoshop so far but I have encountered a serious problem. When I first got photoshop I would leave the application open by accedent and my computer started shutting down randomly but only about once a day. As I started using photoshop more I started closing the application when I wasn't using it but when I was the computer would shut down at some point during each project. I could deal with saving a lot as I go but now it shuts emediately every time so I can't use photoshop at all. Please can someone give me some advice, even if it is just to go to the apple store.

    I had very similar behaviour occur when I purchased my first MacBrook Pro and it turned out to be a faulty Graphics Card.  Take it to the Genius Bar and see what they have to say.  If they don't know what's going and it's not a hardware issue, then we need to know a lot more to help you.  Please provide answers to the questions listed here: "FAQ: What information should I provide when asking a question on this forum?"
