Everytime I click on firefox I get an error message "The connection was resert, try again ????

Everytime I start firefox as my primary web browser, I get an error message that "The connection was reset" .... Please click on try again .... Then I click on try again and it works fine .....
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== when I first downloaded it

I have the same problem on a fresh install of 3.6.3 on Windows Vista. Once I changed my home page from the Firefox/google start page to my iGoogle page, it would not load on the first try and displayed "The connection was reset.
The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading." The page loaded properly when I pressed retry or the refresh icon.
The same error message shows when I click on a link from an e-mail in Outlook.
One thing that helped was I put https at the beginning of my homepage, instead of http, and it now loads on the first time.

When I open Firefox I get an error saying "The connection was reset"

I went through the articles and did what they said for a situation like this but it didn't fix it. It also says underneath "Connection was reset" "The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading."
However you can help would be most appreciated. Thank you for your time.

Whenever I use a search engine, I keep getting the error message "The connection was reset while the page was loading".

I am able to access the internet, but none of the search engines like Google, Yahoo or Bing will work. the page will not load. I get the error message:
The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

I oocasionally get an error msg "The connection was interrupted" with some reasons. Usually a reload works but sometimes I need to change the https to http to get the load.

The error msg states the site may be tempo unavailable or that I have a network problem; even trying to open a new tab will give me the same error. When I attempt to load my own website I get the "unsafe site" msg but switching to http from https allows my site to load. I can open a tab in Firefox ten times without a problem and then I'll get "The connection was interrupted" msg. I did a complete delete and reload of Firefox but the issue remains.

Hi i am getting an error message "The disk was not ejected properly. If possible, always eject a disk before unplugging it or turning it off."

Hi I recieve this error message whenever i wake up the imac. I am using a lacie 2 terrabyte external drive half for time machine the other half for itunes library and such. the drive is always connected and on not sure what is going on and how to fix?

if you put your mac to sleep and then turn off external discs then you get that error it's by design
if you shutdown the mac and then turn off the ext disc then you don't
if you eject the ext disc and then put the mac to sleep you don't get the error you eject it by clicking on the ext hd's eject option in finder

I using iWeb 3.03. I'm not able to complete a publish command. I get an error message and a note to try again later. What can I do to find the source of the problem

I am using iWeb 3.03. I have prepared a new website and several pages. Attempts to publish have failed. An error message appears, which I don't understand. The message includes a note that says "try again later." What might I try next to get past this problem?
Duane Fitzgerald

Try the following:
close iWeb.
delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
go to your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete the contents.
reboot.
go to the System/MobileMe preference pane and log out of MMe.
login with a bogus username and password like "test" and "test". This clears the caches.
login with your correct username and password.
launch iWeb and try again.

When I try to go to Youtube I get the error message :the connection was reset". Any ideas?

Site won't open

You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the cache and remove cookies only from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] 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

Everytime i close firefox, i get an error message about quicktime not working. 6 times.

browsing normally, close firefox, i get an error message about quicktime not working. i click ok. then another comes up. i click ok. 6 times total this error message comes up, every time i close firefox. really annoying.

If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then best is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
*Trash the current Firefox application (open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re)install
*Install the new version that you have downloaded
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installing_Firefox#Mac_OS_X
Your personal data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox profile folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data when you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

You can also try to repair the disk permissions:

When I try to open Firefox, I get an error message that begins "The procedure entry point ?CreateDrawTargetForCairoSurface@Factory...could not be located..."

When I try to open Firefox, I get an error message that reads "The procedure entry point ?CreateDrawTargetForCairoSurface@Factory@gfx@mozilla@@SA?AV?$TemporaryRef@VDrawTarget@gfx@mozilla@@@3@PAU_cairo_surface@@ABUIntSize@23@@Z could not be located in the dynamic link library gkmedias.dll.
My only option is to click okay in the Error Message Box, but Firefox will not open then.

Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before reinstalling a fresh copy of Firefox.
*(32 bit Windows) C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\
*(64 bit Windows) C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installation_directory
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 17.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will also lose your personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.

I have downloaded a movie from ITunes. It shows up in my video app. When I go to play it I get an error message: "The requested URL was not found on this server". When I checked back on iTunes, where you click to rent or buy a movie it says "Downloaded"

I have downloaded a movie from ITunes. It shows up in my video app. When I go to play it I get an error message: "The requested URL was not found on this server". When I checked back on iTunes, where you click to rent or buy a movie it says "Downloaded". Any advice on what I can do in order to watch this movie that I rented a couple of weeks ago?

Select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History on your computer.

On some of my files there is a ! in front of it, if I try to play the song, I get an error message; "The song "_____" could not be used, because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" Then when I click "Locate", I get nothing.

I'm really dumbfounded on this one and it's driving me bonkers!!!! On some of my music files there is a ! in front of it, if I try to play the song, I get an error message; "The song "_____" could not be used, because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"
This began to happen when Chuck made playlists2burn on2CD-and then he would delete the playlist; sending all the song files into oblivion. Certain songs have a ! right next to the file name, and as I stated before, i get that error message:
"The song "_____" could not be used, because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"
So I click on "Locate". No help. I get a menu with folders that say "catroot" and other folders which names I cannot remember, but I scroll PAST the file folders, & it's just a bunch of ".DLL" files.....I don't understand what any of the names of the folders mean...it's frustr8ing-coz this is my 2nd iTouch, my 1st one got stolen & I can't afford2buy my music back at this time & i NEVER before had a single problem with losing song file locations.
 Is there anyone out there who has been through this frustrating game of chasing your tail?....<that's how I feel>
If so I would be ever so gr8ful if maybe someone with the knowledge would be so kind as 2 tell me how/where 2 retrieve these songs & how to put everything back where it belongs, I would be 4ever gr8ful !!!
I can't afford 2 replace the songs just like I'm unable 2 buy back my old music from my stolen iTouch....man that was an awesome collection-someday I'll be able 2 afford 2 do that & I would like 2 have all the new music that I paid 4 but cannot find when I got my new iTouch....that would just be wonderful.
 I hope someone sees this post that can help me retrieve these files....losing $100.00 of iTunes is a REAL BUMMER!!!!!!
 ThanQ SO very much!
 [email protected] or [email protected] or [email protected] .
 You can also find me on Facebook, my given name is Tiffinie Trimmer, &
 that's my Facebook "handle". ThanQ 4 taking the time 2 read all of this!
 hope 2 get a reply someday....I'll B checking all my emails & my Facebook, as well
 as marking this page in my FAVORITES so I can find it fast! Take Care!!!

I was not complete clear.
Since you never changed the settings in the advanced section of iTunes preferecnes, you have to chech that your music is really in the location setted in the folders reported in the advanced section. If not you have 2 ways: reset the position of this folders or in the actual disk organisation or in the pointing on the preferences.
If you press the reset button you just give to itunes its default setting as for the position of the music files: probably this will be a good choice if you have never changed any default preference.
But before I would check the folders and see if the songs are really there
In my iTune I have this, and I believe it is the default.

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox several times. Every time I try to open Firefox I get an error message saying "Close Firefox"," A copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time."

I uninstall Firefox, then reinstall Firefox, try to open Firefox, and get an error message in a popup box saying,
"Close Firefox"
"A copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time."

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
If that 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.
