Connected to internet - IE and Firefox wont work

I am connected to the internet, Safari and MSN work. When I try to get on FireFox or IE it says my connection is being interrupted. I had just downloaded Microsoft Office, and the problems started after that.
I checked my firewall to see if that was the problem, but it is not even enabled.
Any suggestions on what is blocking these two programs?

Hello daroberts02!
I just want to remind everyone to either purchase Microsoft Office software in the box or download from Microsoft.com. Downloading from any other source puts your system at grave risk for malware infection and is likely non-licensed or pirated software.
daroberts02, if you are using Microsoft XP or Vista operating system (OS) you can try using Windows System Restore if enabled on your computer (Start> Programs> Accessories> System Tools> System Restore) to perform a system roll back before your download. Otherwise, if you would like convenient options for a resolution, call 1-800-GEEKSQUAD, chat with an Agent on GeekSquad.com or locate a Geek Squad® Precinct near you. Let us know how we can be helpful!

Safari and Firefox wont work on my work server

When I am at work using my macbook on the wireless server certain web pages will not load on both safari and firefox. Other people here have the same computer as I do but do not have the same problem. Images will not load in my emails and websites like Amazon, Target, etc will not load properly. I know that I am allowed to access these websites since my coworkers are able to on their computers.
I was wondering if I have to change the settings somewhere. The weird thing is that when I am at home using a wireless network the images and pages load perfectly fine.
any suggestions?? thank you!!

When you say don't work, try totally shutting down the apps, double click the home buttons and then find the Safari and Youtube apps hold your finger on the the apps for a few sec then tap the red minus sign. Then try to use the apps.

I updated to Ubuntu 12.10 and firefox wont work anymore

Ok, so, I updated my Ubuntu from 11.10 to 12.10. Now firefox will not work. All it will load is stuff in the first tab. If you open another tab and try to navigate away from the tab page, or if you open a link in another tab it just refuses to navigate away from the tab page. What is going on here? I mean, it worked perfectly in 11.10, what happened?

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Creating a profile":

There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

Have disabled IE on windows pc and am using Firefox as browser. iTunes now says cannot connect to internet even though Firefox working: suggestions

Have disabled IE on windows pc and am using Firefox as browser. iTunes now says cannot connect to internet even though Firefox working: suggestions?

There is a plugin for Firefox - see here
http://latestversionplugin.com/current-version-plugin-itunes-application-detecto r.html
It should be installed automatically if you install iTunes, but I guess when you installed iTunes you didn't have Firefox. Just reinstall iTunes and it should work OK (your iTunes library will not be affected)

Safari and firefox stop working after a few minutes of browsing, regardless of what site I'm on. I have to restart my computer to get internet access again but it only works for a few more minutes, then I have to restart again. Please help!

Safari and firefox stop working after a few minutes of browsing, regardless of what site I'm on. I have to restart my computer to get internet access again but it only works for a few more minutes, then I have to restart again. I don't get a spinning ball, it just stops working at whatever page it's on. I can close the program just fine but when I re-open it, either safari or firefox, it freezes trying to load the hompage. This started a few days ago after trying to stream a movie on my computer. I'm on a Mac Air OS X Version 10.6.8 and have downloaded all updates. When I go into finder, it says I have over 80 gigs available. Is there some other memory cache that I need to check? Thanks so much for your help.

It's not a router problem as I explained in my post. If it was a router problem then I wouldn't have the problem everywhere I go. It is an issue with the software.
Then I guess the millions of people running 10.5.7 with no issues are just hallucinating that their machines are working fine?
I'm not trying to belittle your issues; you're certainly having them and I know first hand how annoying an intermittent AirPort issue can be. (In fact, mine was due to an AirPort driver bug that no one else seemed to suffer from.)
The single best diagnostic you could do is take your system running 10.5.7 to an Apple Store, and try using their in-store network.
If your machine performs flawlessly, it may be a router issue.
If your machine has connectivity issues there, it may be a hardware problem with your machine.
There have been numerous people in multiple threads over the years who swore that an update was buggy because things used to work, but returned later to sheepishly admit that they took their machine in, a problem was found and fixed, and now their Mac works flawlessly with the newer software.
But simply reinstalling 10.5.5 in no way means the explanation of how firmware bugs may be at play here is incorrect.
In the context of that explanation, all you've done is possibly reinstall software that asks to add "2 + 3."

I solved my own problem. Hopefully this will help someone else.
I did a DFU restore, then started it up as a new phone on iTunes. Everything loaded properly, then from iTunes did a restore from backup, selected the one I wanted and it still took me to the same screen with 3 options of restore. I chose the start up as new phone from the actual phone and after all the syncing was completed, my phone is back in working order.

There are no Mac viruses, only malware that requires your assistance to get installed. For more on this, see:

As to your problem, we can't say what might have happened without more information. Try restarting your computer, and if that doesn't help, we need to know what you saw and what's happening now in greater detail.

I have windows 7 and EasyLink wont work neither will 192.168.1.1

I have windows 7 and EasyLink wont work. Now I tried the 192.168.1.1 and even that wont work! I have a WRT54GS and I know it works because when I usee the two laptops connected to it, it works perfectly except when too many users get on my wifi connection then it overloads

I'd suggest trying a factory reset, that should clear any password that was set and forgotten, as well as any settings that are preventing you from talking to it (like the router address having been set to something other than 192.168.1.1).
There's usually a recessed reset button on the back that is accessed via an "unrolled" paperclip. Just press that button and count to about 30, and then wait until the router comes up again and try the 192.168.1.1 address.
If you have a cable modem, then I'd suggest that you write down the MAC address of the primary computer that was used to configure the router, and then try changing the MAC address on the router to that when you get back in touch with it (via the 192.168.1.1 web GUI). The factory reset may change the router back to it's original MAC address, which may prevent your cable modem from being happy.

                                here are the ones that partially worked: the blaze (works on videos that originate from you tube, but not from news stories)
                                                                                          bing (work on videos from their video section - entertainment type, but not from news videos)
the common thing here seems to be that news type videos crash and entertainment type don't. also videos seem more likely to crash on internet portals like yahoo

Please stop altering the fonts, it makes reading postings extremely difficult. If help is desired, making postings difficult to read is not the way to get help.
Put the device in DFU mode (google it), then restore.

i have a seagate 1tb hard drive and a 16gb memory stick, how do i transfer avi files from one to another as the click drag and drop wont work, please help?

Greetings,
What happens when you drag it?
Make sure the drive you are moving the files to has enough available space to receive the file:
Click on the movie file and go to File > Get Info and note the "size"
Check the drive to which you are moving the file to make sure it has enough available space: https://idisk.me.com/madisonfile-Public/web/finder-drive-available-space-and-for mat.html
Also note the format of the drive you are copying too. If it is not Mac OS Extended or FAT (not recommended unless you are taking it to a windows computer) then that may be the issue.
Hope that helps.
