  • Firefox will not start after I restart my computer.

    I can close firefox and restart the program just fine as long as I don't shut down my computer. If I open the profile manager, I can change profiles and this fixes it but this is only a temporary fix.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == just recently

  • My music in iTunes will not play until I restart my computer. Please help!

    When I open iTunes, I cannot get songs to play. The pause/play button reads as if it is playing, but the progress bar does not move and no sound is heard. When I restart my computer, songs play as normal. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Same thing happened to me...called into Apple , in order to retrive my music purchased on itunes, you have to go to the itunes store, then go to Quicklinks there you will see purchased songs, and you can redownload them to itunes..... But there is an catch ...... It is taking FOREVER  to download  all my songs (500+) back into iTunes. Other issue I got a message saying can not load all songs to libary not enough memory after having like 150 transfer... so this issue needs to be worked on

  • I have a red vertical line on the right side of my screen and it will not go away tried restarting my computer and that didn't help at all, please help me with this problem it is kind of annoying

    I have a red vertical line on the right side of my screen and it will not go away tried restarting my computer and that didn't help at all, please help me with this problem it is kind of annoying

    If it's a thin 1 pixel wide vertical line it's highly likely it could be caused by a defective LCD.
    One quick basic way to check is to note the position of the line. Then go to System Preferences, Displays, and lower the resolution. If ther line moves it's on the video and the logic board or video card if fitted is likely to be defective. If the line stays in the same position it's likely to be an LCD fault. Either way to have it repaired you'll need to visit an Apple store or AASP.
    The worst offender for this problem is the Late 2006 17" iMac. FOC replacement of the LCD used to be covered by a quality program, but it's now ended.

  • Firefox will not open now - I just updated my privacy settings, and cleared cookies - what happened?

    I changed the privacy settings on Firefox preferences, including clearing cookies, history and cache, and now Firefox will not open at all. It said it had to restart after one of the privacy changes, but it didn't and now won't open by the dock icon or thru applications. What happened, and how can I correct the issue to start using Firefox again? Thanks.

  • I tried to update my iPhone 4s to the ios 6 and it wouldn't download and my phone will not work now.

    I tried to update my iPhone 4s to the ios 6 and it wouldn't download and my phone will not work.  I started the download and it said that it had 6 hours remaining, so i just left it overnight.  The next morning it was working fine, but the ios 6 didn't download.  I looked at it later and it had the turning on screen with the loading bar under it.  It stayed like that for a while and the bar didn't move.  I needed to use my phone so I tried to make it go to the home screen, but nothing happened. I held down the lock and home button for a few seconds and everything went black.  I tried to turn it back on and all it has done all day is stayed on the turning on screen.  I tried plugging it into the wall, and nothing happened. I tried connecting it to iTunes, and nothing happened. I don't know what I need to do to get it to work.

    OMG is working OMG OMG OMG Thanks alot dude!

  • Firefox will not open! It worked last night. Please help!

    Yesterday firefox was working fine. I restarted my computer to update it and now firefox will not launch. It says in the trouble shooter that its not compatable. How can this be and is there any way to fix this?

    Try a reset ie hold the sleep/wake and home buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears.

  • MacBook Pro 2013 will not shut down without restarting.

    I got a macbook pro a month ago and it will not shut down without pressing down on the power button. Using the normal Shut down options only restarts the computer. I have done all the disk utility repairs, installed new mountain lion, reset the PRAM several times, and ran software repair from doing the shutdown hold D. I also checked to see if the PRAM is good, and it is Ok in systems utilities. It will also restart when i have not touched the computer for 10 or so minutes and will go to locked user log in.
    I really don't know what else to do. If you need more details let me know. Any advice?
    Thanks

    Thanks!
    I tried this and discovered something new. I noticed that if the computer is charging while shutdown, the computer will still restart. However, if the computer is charging and you shutdown, then unplug the charger, it will remain off. It will also resume normal shut down and sleep if you shut down while unplugged, now. An idea why it will still restard while plugged in though? If not i very much appreciate your help so far!

  • Firefox will not re-start without "ending process" with Windows Vista Task Manager.

    Error Message:
    “Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system.”
    Have to start Task Manager and then end firefox.exe process.
    Thanks all.

    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

  • Intermittently and without obvious pattern, Firefox stops responding and, after being closed via task manager, will not reopen unless I restart my computer.

    Firefox 5 stops responding after I use it for awhile. Once I close it through the task manager, it refuses to reopen and I am forced to restart my computer to get Firefox to work again.
    Note: This problem also occurred in Firefox 3 before I updated.

    Try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it functions properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.

  • When I close Firefox I cannot reopen it without restarting my computer.

    If I try to re-open Firefox I get the message already open close or restart your computer.

    Try to Wait a bit longer before reopening Firefox to give Firefox more time to close completely.
    Use "Firefox/File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit") to close Firefox if you are currently doing that by clicking the close X on the title bar.

  • I updated, and now Firefox will not open at all on my computer. Tried numerous times to turn computer off and then on again. Everything else is closed.

    I updated as I was asked. The computer was on for a while and then turned off. Now, it won't open firefox at all. A big red 'x' and an error message pops up. Message says: The procedure entry point XRE_GetFileFromPath could not be located in the dynamic link library xul. dll.
    I can open an old internet explorer, but then I can't respond to your e-mails for confirmation as they must go thru the mozilla browser. I AM CONTACTING YOU THROUGH MY HUSBANDS COMPUTER.... NOT MINE CUZ I CAN'T RESPOND TO YOUR LINKS....
    This is very frustrating. I just want my old browser and bookmarks back! Please help.

    When resetting the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod fails to resolve a problem, the problem is likely due to a a hardware problem. An appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is then in order.
