Ever since version 5, FF becomes "not responding" every 4 minutes.

ff 5 and beyond (i even downgraded to 3.6) becomes "not responding" every 5 or 6 mintues for more the 3 minutes.
Right now is even worst. I DON'T have FF.
Is unusable.
I tried disabling everything. still the same.
I tried uninstalling chrome cause ever since google+ installed chome on my laptop, FF started acting up.
But nothing seems to fix FF.
PLEASE ADVICE!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't live without FF. :(

Safe mode is similar to private browsing. So you will want to run in normal mode.
Now if you choose to delete and reset then you have brought all the settings back to start up state.
Try starting up in the normal mode, if this fixes things then you are ready to go.
If not, then start in the safe mode with Add-ons disabled, once it starts up go to Add-ons and disable the last one installed and try a normal start up. Do this until the culprit is found.
If you don't care about the Add-ons then just create a new [[Profiles]] and be done with it.

ITunes becomes 'not responding' within seconds of running

I have installed the latest version of iTunes but it won't run without crashing and becoming 'not responding'. I can only kill it from Task Manager. Initially I thought it was due to the Determining Gapless Playback Information sequence failing, so I moved my iTunes database into another folder imagining that rescanning my library and creating a new one would solve the issue. However when running, iTunes asks to scan my system for music, finds a few tracks then crashes again.
What can I do?
PC running Win 7
Music stored on NAS connected to Wifi Router
iPhone 4S

An update:
I found an article which suggested running iTunes in 'Safe Mode' to disable plug-ins. I don't recall installing any plug-ins but I did this nonetheless. I'm happy to report iTunes ran and got through the Determining Gapless Playback process.
I searched in the places where the article suggested the plug-ins were stored and did not find any files (though I did find the folders). I have got 'Show hidden folders and files' selected.
What else can I do, other than running iTunes in Safe Mode every time?

New version comes up as 'Not Responding' when trying to load Google opening page.

I downloaded the new version and and the following happened:
1) It didn't overwrite the existing version, so I has 3.6 and 4 on my comp.
2) When I asked it to open my default opening page, Google, it came up with, 'Not Responding' every time
3) I uninstalled the old version and that made no difference, so I completely cleared my system of Firefox and then downloaded 4 again and 'Not Responding' appeared again.
4) I uninstalled 4 - after checking my firewall settings on McFee - and downloaded 3.6 again and it works perfectly.
I use a laptop with Vista Home Premium and Firefox is set as my default browser.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Hi,
Which version of Acrobat do you have ?
(Launch Acrobat and Go to Acrobat->About Adobe Acrobat menu item and check the version )
Also, can you ping following urls ?
armmf.adobe.com
armdl.adobe.com
ardownload.adobe.com
Are these urls reachable ?
Also, you can check the contents of host file /etc/defaults/host to see that none of the ips are redirected.
One more thing that you could try:
If you have firewall on, could you please disable the firewall and then try the update. Does it works now ?

Thank you for the suggestions.
I checked the WIndows log files. It reported the following error:

I ran for the memory diagnostics as it showed the error with video card error. My NVDIA graphics card is not working properly. Do you think that could be a problem?I am running on Windows 7 64 bit computer. It also complains about the incompatibility with 64 bits.

Why does my final cut pro is not responding every time I open it????!!!!!!

why does my final cut pro is not responding every time I open it?

As you give no background info nobody can possibly guess.
However, have you tried trashing the preferences?
Many weird things happen as a result of corrupt preferences which can create a vast range of different symptoms, so whenever FCP X stops working properly in any way, trashing the preferences should be the first thing you do using this free app.
http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/
Shut down FCP X, open PreferenceManager and in the window that appears:-
1. Ensure that only FCP X is selected.
2. Click Trash
The job is done instantly and you can re-open FCP X.
There is absolutely no danger in trashing preferences and you can do it as often as you like.
The preferences are kept separately from FCP X and if there aren't any when FCP X opens it automatically creates new ones . . . instantly.

I downloaded the most recent version of Firefox and now once I open the internet and bring up my home page....it becomes "not responding".

I downloaded the newest version last week of Firefox and now I cant use Forefox. When I open the internet it comes up fine to my homepage (MSN.com), but after 5 seconds or so it locks up and I get "Firefox is not responding" and I cant shut it down or anything....... I have had to use Internet Explorer to do my job and I like Firefox (when it worked) SO much better. Anybody suggest anything???

P. S. Just got brave and uninstalled iTunes and re-installed it. Got the same error message: Entry Point Not Found - The procedure entry point ADAdPolicyEngine_DidEnterStation could not be located in the dynamic link library iAdCore.dll
Now I can't get to iTunes at all. Help, please!

I have a Windows Vista desktop and an old XP laptop, both run Firefox perfectly. However, my Toshiba Satellite T135 laptop will not run ANY version of Firefox--constant "not responding" messages. Chrome and IE9 work perfectly. Help!!

To mostly repeat my question, I am a longtime Firefox user on both an XP laptop and a Vista desktop. So here I get the most "capable" computer of all, a Toshiba Satellite T135 laptop, 64-bit Windows 7, 4G RAM...and it won't run Firefox at all! I have installed an uninstalled both Firefox 3, and just now, Firefox 4. No changes. When I open the software, it usually just locks up for a minute or so, and I finally get a "not responding" message at the top of the screen.
Obviously there is something corrupt in the guts of my laptop. But both IE9 and Chrome work very well--Chrome is blazing fast. I still prefer Firefox because it works best with some particular software I use for work...but I have to go to one of my older computers to do it!
ANY solutions out there? This seems like a very odd problem.
Posting from the Firefox website...using Google Chrome!

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

IPhoto Version 9.5.1 Not Responding @ Launch

I'm having this issue with iPhoto launching but never fully opening, then needing to force quit.
iPhoto Version 9.5.1
OSX 10.9.2
I dont remember the sequence of events exactly however I was saving a video MP4 from my desktop into the library so I could share it in a photostream with a friend.
The MP4 did not finish loading and then iPhoto quit responding.
I force quit iPhoto, and it gave me a message (as best I can remember) do you want to continue saving the MP4, to which I answered no. It has not been reponding at all ever since.
I have repeatedly restarted my iMac with the end results being the same. All other software seems to be working as designed.
Can I answer anymore questions that might help you, help me figure this sucker out?

That was unsuccessful. The same problem happened at the launch of iPhoto. I held the prescribed keys as indicated and after the launch it just kept going in the launching process. And again I got the message "Not Responding"

Firefox stops loading new pages, displays "Loading". When I close it it goes. But when I restart it gives me "Another version is running, but not responding. This requires a power cycle reboot.

Version 3.6.18. Running on Windows XP Pro. (kept current)
This happens on a variety of pages. I get the little Loading thing in the tab, with the circle moving. So I X out (to exit Firefox). When I go to restart I get the error message "Another version of FireFox is running, but not responding". I give Windows the "three finger salute", and go to Task Manager, and do not see any reference to Firefox, and the Performance, and Processes seem OK. But it never seems to close the earlier Firefox, and won't let me open a new one. Any suggestions? Super Thanks for your help!

Hi Andis.
First of all, this is completely normal behavior, although it's a bit irritating, I know. What happens is that when you close Firefox, despite the window disappearing right there and then, Firefox keeps running for a little bit until the whole closing procedure is completed. This can take a fraction of a second on fast computers, or can take a few seconds on slow computers or when Firefox is storing a large session (if you save your tabs). All you have to do is wait a bit until Firefox closes, and then open it again.
To see if it's still running, you can press CTRL+SHIFT+ESC and then, under the Processes tab, you can see if firefox.exe is still there. If it's taking an unusual amount of time to close (which happens very rarely, and only if the browser freezes on exit), you can force the application to terminate from this application (task manager).
Firefox 4.0 will reduce by 97% the time it takes firefox.exe to close, so this problem will be basically erased for Firefox's next version.
Until then, I can recommend you this extension, which helps you restart your browser more easily and without bothering about closing times:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3559/
Hopefully this will help.

Thunderbird is 'Downloading to Inbox', but which inbox and how do I stop it? Each email is causing TB to become "Not Responding"

I use Thunderbird because I have a couple of personal email addresses, and several work email addresses. At the bottom of the screen it currently shows- Downloading 17 of 794 to inbox. when this problem started the total was 2300. It now only says 794 because I have restarted it and that is what is left. I have been watching these emails download all day, but I don't know which inbox they are related to, where they are downloading to, and I also don't know why each one causes Thunderbird to stop responding. Each one is taking 10-30 seconds to come in, and I can't compose any emails while it is doing this. It freezes up for about 20 seconds and the window dulls. I have tried compacting my inboxes, but it doesn't seem to help. HELP!

Regarding toolbar:
More recent versions of Thunderbird do not auto show the toolbars by default. The developers decided to create a menu icon (3 bar icon). Unfortunately, they also moved or slightly renamed some of the options and some tools require the correct toolbar enabled. This change did not take into consideration that virtually all help refers to the toolbars.
You can enable all the toolbars to make life easier.
3 bar menu icon > Options > select all the toolbars.

Firefox crashed and now when I try to open it, all it ever says is session restore and not responding. How do I stop this?

When I downloaded the latest version about a week ago, this started. Any time it is opened, it goes to session restore. When I click anywhere on the screen, the tab says not responding.

Try updating your QuickTime to the most recent version. Does that clear up the DEP errors in iTunes?

Ever since version 5, FF becomes "not responding" every 4 minutes.
