Crash caused by some (not all) auto refresh sites

This is an odd problem, but it's something that's annoying me, and there might be a patch or update that can deal with it.
I quite often view sites that use an auto refresh script to update sports reports. In every case, it's just plain text that's automatically updated. There is one site (and only one), however, which causes problems: http://http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2010/oct/02/ryder-cup-day-two-live is an example, although it applies to all auto refresh pages on the guardian.co.uk site.
It works just fine when I'm viewing the site, but when I close the page - whether closing the tab or moving to a different url - the browser freezes. All aspects of the window become unresponsive, and the browser has to be closed via the task manager.
This only happens when I close/leave the page, and I've not found any other auto refreshing page with the same effect. It also only happens in Firefox, not in IE.
Can anyone understand what's going wrong here? I'm baffled.

Are you running any GreaseMonkey scripts on that page?
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

CSS (some, not all) not showing up in browser, but fine in DW. Plus other desperate issues....

I would really appreciate any and all help I can get to solve these problems as I'm new to CSS/HTML (completely new) and have been attempting to code my design just well enough to get it uploaded and working as a site. Once I can atleast achieve this feat, I plan on completely converting to CSS. But for now, I need to get the site working and I really didn't want to come and bother all of you on here with my problems and have been procrastinating posting on here for absolutely ages now....but since I can't figure all of the messy-uppy ness going on on my own, I beg forgiveness for any of your time wasted on my problems .
Okay, so the "main" issue here is that I can see some(some, not all) CSS on DW, but I see NONE whatsoever when I go to preview in browser, same after uploading. I do have all of the files uploaded and placed in the correct directories, including the stylesheet, and images folder. But, nope, nada. Now, I did think this was a root/directory problem, maybe the url's weren't pointing to the right directories. I checked and attempted to fix this several times and any changes made no difference. Also, uploaded to the root of my site, where all files and folders are where they should be, yet no change. I am utterly clueless as to what is going on here....
Second: Padding, or margins added through CSS for the divs is simply not working in DW or otherwise. I have padding placed on all of the content type areas with writing/content in them and despite the fact that the changes to the font/text formatting I've made show up, the padding does not. This is only in DW since no CSS whatsoever is showing out of DW anyways. I would like to know how to get the padding and the formatting, just all of the CSS in general to actually show up in browser/when uploaded.
Third: The next issue is also confusing, and this only occured after I made the page into a template and uploaded the home.htm page I created from it to my site. For some reason, the image called "../images/aurora2_14_content_marg.gif". Is appearing at the very top of the page for no reason at all. I don't understand why it is there, or how it even got up there in the first place.
Fourth: This was actually next on my list of things to figure out once I've gotten all of the above issues taken care of but since I'm still drawing a blank after 2+ weeks on how to get this done in a way that will work I guess it couldn't hurt to ask on here and get some expertise on the matter. The issue is that I have a repeating background (images/bg.png) that I want stretching downwards as I add content to the page. I have this placed as the main background for the entire site as you will be able to see in a moment through my code/site. Now, the place I want this to start is from where the aforementioned image (../images/aurora2_14_content_marg.gif) stops. However, I want the content to actually start from 20 pixels or so from the top of that very image. I want to try and achieve this through the use of margins but since the margins and padding are not showing up I hve been unable to experiment with it enough to figure out any other way to achieve this. Any suggestions on how to achieve this would be much appreciated.
Fifth (yes, unfortunately we're still going): As you may be able to see through the design I have two seperate areas for the main content and the navigation and other such items to be placed. To clarify, the content will be placed(through the use of expandable content boxes, once I figure out how to work that) beginning at the aforementioned image/td/div (../images/aurora2_14_content_marg.gif) with a bit of padding or margin from the top and sides (too pull the content towardsthe center of the site rather than all over from left to right like it is appearing now). The navigation etc will be placed where the long cyan area is under the search bar. For both of these, I cannot figure out how to split my one background image and also the content_marg.gif image into the two divs/or whatever else would work to split their contents from eachother. I think that seperating them into 2 divs with padding from the sides and eachother and seperate top paddings (I want the navigation to begin more near the top of the page than the content). The issue here is, I cannot figure out how to do this.
Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Also, any tips on how to achieve the code for the solutions provided would also be very much appreciated, as I am only just starting out coding.
The site/page:
http://aurora.comeze.com/home.htm
The stylesheet (style.css):
http://aurora.comeze.com/style.css
Like I mentioned above, all of this except the padding shows up in DW. Whereas, none of this shows up at all in browser view, or through the site.

How can I delete or transfer some (not all) Albums, Music and pics in "Photo Library" NOT purchased in iStore from my iPhone to a computer, when the original computer that did the original iTunes to iPhone synch is no longer available (stolen)?

The iPhone iOS 4 User Guide sees to indicate that the SYNCH function is all one way from computer to iPhone, unless it is for purchased items in iStore on the iPhone.
1. How can I delete some (not all) Albums and Music from my iPhone when the original computer that did the iTunes to iPhone synch is no longer available (stolen)?
2. How can I transfer Albums and Music (not purchased from iStore on iPhone) from my iPhone to the new computer?
3. How can I delete some (not all) pictures in my iPhone "Photo Library" when the original computer that did the iTunes to iPhone synch is no longer available (stolen)?
4. How can I transfer pictures in my iPhone "Photo Library" to the new computer?

Hi wjosten,
thanks for the "TouchCopy" software link. I have downloaded a demo copy and it will resolve my transfer of music from iPhone to the new computer. I can then delete any unwanted music on the new computer, then re-synch the updated music to iPhone.
I am not sure about the photos. On my iPhone, there are two photo "albums" - one called "camera roll" and the other called "photo library." TouchCopy finds the pictures in the "camera roll" DCIM folder, and I can copy them to the new computer etc.
However, TouchCopy does not seem to find the "Photo Library" folder. Any clues?

Adobe Reader plugin :This sentence "le fichier ne commence pas par '%PDF-'" appears when I try to open some (not all) PDF files within Firefox (does not happen when I download the file)

This sentence (in french version) "le fichier ne commence pas par '%PDF-'" appears when I try to open some (not all, mainly bigger than 1Mo) PDF files within Firefox (does not happen when I download the file)

You mention Thunderbird, has the PDF file been emailed to you? If it has this support page from Adobe may help - http://www.adobe.com/fr/support/toptech/acrobat/319294/

Problems downloading apps ! some not all !

I am having trouble downloading some not all apps for my i pad both paid and free ones.Most of them are working fine but some just appear for 1 sec say waiting then disappear.Any ideas chaps?
Thanks

Wi Fi is much better for down loading apps, is that what you are using ? Also if you are having problems you could try a reset of the iPad .

Some (not all) sites will not load properly, (such as 'Outlook', MSN, Flicker) they look as if in a ''safe'' mode'' and can't be viewed properly.

Hello! If anyone can help me, I would be very grateful!
I am unable to properly view a number of, but not all, web pages/sites.
I have tried all the recommendations I have found thus far; however, nothing resolved the issue.
I have tried: clearing catch, clearing cookies. Checked ‘’load images automatically’’. Enabled JavaScrip. Adblock is disabled. Flashblock is disabled. Everything I have is up-to-date.
Examples of, but not limited to, sites unable to view properly are: Firefox Support, MSN, Flicker, Outlook email, Yahoo.
They work fine using Explorer.
Further detail/explanation of images not showing where a image/picture should be: What I see is an opaque thin red box and in that box is a small opaque red flag.
THIS IS MOST PERPLEXING!!!

Try, as cor-el said, the extensions one by one, disable one, then enable it if the problem is not there, and disable the next extension.
(your extensions we can see in "system details")
thank you

Can't open some (not all) photos in Develop

Hey all,
I'm running Lightroom 1.1 on my Powerbook G4 (1.67ghz, 2 gigs of ram).
Recently had a data base corruption problem, reverted to my backup, everything seemed fixed and working fine. However, it turns out that some files (not all) can no longer be opened in the Develop module: when I'm trying to open one of these files in develop, the preview shows but the panels remain disabled. This happens to both JPEG files from a Canon EOS 350D and to DNG files from a Leica M8. If I select another affected file in the filmstrip while this is happening, the image in the navigator changes to the preview of the newly selected file, but the image in the main viewer remains that of the first affected file selected. If I select a unaffected file from the film strip, the develop module loads properly.
I've checked the catalog's integrity, and even optimized it, but nothing helped.
The affected files are present on disk and open in Photoshop just fine, so they're not corrupted.
Any ideas on what's going on?
Thanks :)

I am having the same Problem but I have many folders in Lightroom....many are in Red type and they say File Cannot Be Opened. I went to import and imported one from external drive to the same external drive folder and it came in fine and the images now open fine in the Develop module...will I have to do that to all my folders ....Whew!!!! Will I lose all my edits? Whew!!!! Is there a better way.....Gerald

ICloud Photo Library, some not all photos

Is there a way to set up to store some photos, or photo albums in iCloud but not all? Seems like it's all or none.

Yeah - I'm sticking with Photostream, and iPhoto right now. Once the new photo app is available across the board, and there is more literature on it, I will look into using the cloud, but I'm happy to keep it on my Mac. With the automatic import of Photostream photos, it really doesn't require a lot of work to keep photos on the Mac, and with a regular backup to TimeMachine, I'm comfortable that it is all backed up and safe....
Cheers,

Migration Asst: Transfer SOME (not ALL) apps to new Mac? Is 10.4 10.3 OK ?

I have a PB G4 running 10.4.11. I also just obtained an iBook G3 running 10.3.9. I don't have the System Install disks for either 10.4 or 10.3.
My goal is to transfer SOME (but not ALL) of my applications from the PB with 10.4.11 to the iBook with 10.3.9, using Migration Assistant. Is this even possible? Does Migration Assistant have the capacity to do ANY of the following tasks? :
1. Transfer just some applications (which the user chooses) but not all of them?
2. Transfer applications or users backwards down the OS scale, going from 10.4 to 10.3?
3. Transfer an entire OS from one computer to the other? I.e. Can I use Migration Assistant to transfer 10.4.11 itself from the PB G4 to the older iBook G3?
I haven't tried it out yet because I don't want to mess anything up in case it's not allowed to go backwards down the OS scale. I think it is assumed that the new computer onto which the Migration Assistant will transfer new files will be running an OS that is at least as up-to-date as the donor computer's.
Also, the reason I don't want to transfer ALL my applications is that there is not enough hard drive space on the old iBook G3 to hold all the applications. I just need a few of them, but no longer have the original install disks.
If all else fails, I can try to do it manually, but with all the support files some of these applications have, I'm sure to mess it up. Hence my hope in Migration Assistant.
Any help with any of these questions would be appreciated, even if you can't answer all of them. Thanks.

BDAqua --
OK, thanks. Your answers tell me I shouldn't try to use Migration Assistant in this case. The size of my "Applications" folder on my PB G4 is larger than the entire hard drive on the iBook G3. So if it's "all or nothing," I'll have to go with nothing. I'll just see if I can transfer the applications I need by hand, though that may be difficult -- I'm sure to leave out some key hidden "support" files and folders.
As for the side issue of needing to be in possession of the OS installation disks to even use the OS at all: does that mean one is legally required to wipe one's drive if one loses the disks that came with the computer? Say it ain't so! If that were the case, half the Macs in the US would have to be abandoned, since misplacing or losing the install disks is pretty commonplace. And buying used computers would become a near impossibility, since generally people don't include the disks with the computers. I bought both the PB G4 and the iBook G3 used, and in neither case did they come with the disks. Just the computer, nothing else. I have no choice but to use the OSes as is!

Mail created a new folder and throws some, not all, of my wife's email there

So my wife had been complaining about trouble finding all her emails after I upgraded to Mountain Lion. I took a look and saw that in addition to her account (sub-in-box) under Inbox, she had a folder under "On My Mac" with emails there too. So I moved all the latter emails to her sub-Inbox and then deleted that "on my mac" folder. Well, that didn't work. The next day she said she was still having a problem. Turns out that the "on my mac" folder had come back to life somehow and Mail was sending some, but not all, of her emails there. There seems to be no sense to it. Some emails go into her "regular" account (under Inbox) and some into the "on my mac" folder. Many, but not all, of the latter are "junk" mail. So she still has to check both folders to see all her mail. How do I fix this?

Okay, thanks to nobody for their help. But I figured it out anyway. Somehow there was a rule which had the "if-then" result of "move to (my wife's name) mailbox" -- so when such an email arrived, Mail would have to create the (previously-deleted) mailbox in order to follow the rule. So I just deleted that rule.

Some (not all) updates to playlist show up on mini

I created a new playlist and a new smart playlist in itunes, that doesn't show up on my ipod... I also deleted the on-the-go playlist, and that still shows up on the ipod, so theres obviously a problem w/ the updating. But I've also added new songs on an existing playlists, and they are showing up on the ipod, so not all updates are being affected. Any ideas? Should I reset?

Yeah, try to reset
Press and hold the MENU and CENTER buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo on your screen, then release those buttons. Try to do this while your iPod is plugged into your computer. Do you have your iPod set to manually or automatically update itself? For example, mine updates automatically..as soon as I plug it in my iPod automatically updates all my new songs without me clicking on anything.

Some files missing sound some not; all play on another computer

Both my wife and I have MacBookPros running 10.4.8. I put some video files from a VCD onto both our hard drives. They started out with a .DAT suffix, but I read that they could be manually changed to .MPG format by re-labelling and that they would play in QuickTime.
On my wife's Mac, it works flawlessly. On my Mac, it only plays the video but no sound. Other video files have sound on my Mac in Quicktime, and these VCD files play with sound in VLC on my Mac; so there must be something about my Quicktime (and not hers) that is causing this behavior. I replaced every QuickTime related plist, plugin and preference file I could find on my Mac with those from her Mac, all to no avail. Created a new user on my Mac and still no sound, only video. Any suggestions appreciated.
Second question. Canon XLIM's AVI movies show white screen but do have sound on both our computers. I've tried Perian but it crashes my Quicktime after briefly showing video. I must be missing a codec. If anyone with this camera has solved the issue, please let me know. the AVI movies play in VLC just fine.
Thanks for reading!
MacBookPro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Thanks for getting back. I have the movies downloaded to my computer. I went to 'Get Info' and now I do see that they are Copy Protected. I was able to copy them to a DVD as I said. And to make sure I wasn't watching the original when I put the DVDs back in my computer for testing, I closed iTunes and used Qucktime to view them...and it worked. When I was burning them I got no warning that they were copy protected and went through the near hour it took to copy each one and it said I would be able to play it on 'any Apple or Windows computer..but not on a DVD player' and that was why I lent them to a friend to watch. But I guess if they are copy protected that was surely in vain. I wish I had gotten prompts telling me that, instead of wasting 5 DVDs and several hours..not to mention getting them to my friend and getting her all excited to see the films. Oh well...she will have to come over here to watch them. Thanks.

Word 2003 - Acrobat menus disappear for some (not all) documents

I have a user who is having a very bizarre issue with Word 2003 and Acrobat 9 Pro Extended. When he opens some Word documents, the PDF menus disappear. They are immediately restored when he closes the document or creates a new document. We've tried repairing and uninstalling/reinstalling to no avail. He uses several custom templates, but they are applied at startup to all documents. Any other troubleshooting ideas? Could the fact that he's using Word 2003 instead of 2007 be causing the problem?
Thanks

More information: I just checked the version of the file I had on my hard drive, and it's doing the same thing there. However, the other similar documents in the same folder on my hard drive are not behaving this way, so apparently it's not specifically
a SharePoint issue.

Some (not all) emails disappearing / deleting themselves from folders in the Mail app on iPhone 4S

I am having an issue with some of my emails disappearing on my iPhone 4S and I am wondering if anyone else is experiencing similar issues and might offer a solution? I have three email accounts on my iPhone 4S and iPad 2 (of which include my iCloud @mac.com and Yahoo!) and all are set up as IMAP so that I can be sure both devices remain in sync at all times. The issue occurs when I go into any of my archive email folders, in any one of my three email accounts and let the iPhone sync with the server so that it is up-to-date. Sometimes - not everytime - I will watch as one of my most recent emails that is cached on the phone suddenly vanishes as it pulls down the rest of the emails archived in that folder. As soon as that email vanishes, it will then automatically remove it from the server (being that it is IMAP) and that email is then gone for good. It has not been moved to trash or any other folder because I can subsequently log into Yahoo! mail for instance and do a complete search for it and it won't find it at all. At first I thought it was my fat thumb (!!!) that had acidentally hit delete on the email but it is happening around twice a week and it has only happened since getting my iPhone 4S. I have contacted Apple support by phone and they suggested completely wiping the phone and restoring from backup, of which I have done. I have changed various settings such as showing 50 recent messages rather than 1000, turing on "organize messages by thread" and "ask before deleting" and trying that for a week but none of that has helped. I have a feeling this is an iOS5 issue rather than a hardware issue because my iPad 2 has started to do the same thing and it never did it before I upgraded to iOS5. Nor did my old iPhone 3GS that I had for two years. I am losing important emails and I'm getting to the stage of thinking about never opening the Mail app on either device for fear of losing any more important emails. I'm considering resorting to logging into Yahoo! and iCloud webmail via Safari instead which is a bit of a pain. Very sorry for the long message but thought i'd best be as thorough as possible. If any of you guys have had similar issues, or if you have any suggestions please feel free to chime in. Many thanks.

Thanks to everyone for their replies - I thought that it was just me with this issue but clearly not. Also thank you to Mil_Prep and S2Linda's suggestions, unfortunately all three of my email accounts do not have a "Mail Days To Sync" option - I believe that this option only appears in Mail settings if the account is an exchange email account. Even if I was able to adjust the time period of emails to sync, I don't think that it would help because the email(s) that are going missing can be as recent as one day old, leaving all my earlier emails in the same folder intact - some of which can go back to the year 2002 for instance. I am still convinced that it is a bug with headers in iOS5. Last week I even had a related problem where I had a new email merge with an old email. The senders email address, subject title and date remained the same but the body of the text was replaced with an old email from 2006! Very odd....
