Facebook is getting in my way!!

Hi,
When I load a webpage from scratch I get this message that safari cant identify the website Facebook when I am not even on the Facebook Page. This happens even when I load home-pages of websites that have nothing to do with Facebook such as Expedia... Pelase see image attached...
Why does it even mention Facebook when I am on other websites? I use Facebook but not that much.
Thanks,

Try using the Split Keyboard.

I have had the same problem with firefox on facebook. It has happened for the last couple weeks. I can receive gifts under requests and every game I try crashes. I can usually read my homepage. this is getting really bad. I have cleared caches,downloaded what I am told to download to update, and cleared history and cookies and still happens , and have been told to get rid of firefox. what is the problem? and when I sent reports , nothing. and sent emails to all the games and told them and asked for help and never get responses. should I through the computer out the window, or delete you? I know they keep changing things on the games and that usually crashes stuff on mine, but all the time? this sucks. and I probably won't get a response from you either,but if this continues I will have to say, bye bye.It's ridiculous..before the crashes, it would take me over 2 hours to do a game and work on it. there was life before this and will be afterwards. it also happens on my regular email..not the crashing, but so slow and the download goes up and goes way down to almost nothing and keeps doing that.please help us all..thanks.

Why can't I update my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1? Every time I try it gets all the way done downloading it; however when it's processing the file the page tells me "There is a problem downloading the software for the iPhone. Network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active. or try again later." and next to the file it has err = -3259. I have tried this 17 times and it won't work. My iTunes is completely up to date. I have made sure that my connection is fine and I have tried turning my firewall off with no avail. This has happened to me before but usually the update will go through after 2-3 tries, never to this extent. I don't know what to do. Help!

Error -3259 is a network timeout error, usually. This article might help:

Cannot upload to facebook, keep getting error message?

cannot upload from iphototo facebook, keep getting error message?

That's strange, I have the same version of iPhoto and have almost no trouble loading to Facebook. Sometimes though the attachment libraries that are old disappear for whatever reasons. It may be due to the fact that I change info in the names of some of the libraries once on Facebook. To avoid problems, I always ensure my web browser is closed when using iPhoto, and vice versa.

How do i get a long lived 60 days access token to post messages on facebook ? Getting exception error

I created just now a new app in the facebook site: https://developers.facebook.com
I have a new access token but its for short time will expire after 2 hours or so.
And i also got the app id and app secret code.
This is how im trying to use it:
private string PostFacebookWall(string accessToken, string message)
var responsePost = "";
try
//create the facebook account object
var objFacebookClient = new FacebookClient(accessToken);
var parameters = new Dictionary<string, object>();
parameters["message"] = message;
responsePost = objFacebookClient.Post("feed", parameters).ToString();
catch (Exception ex)
responsePost = "Facebook Posting Error Message: " + ex.Message;
return responsePost;
In this method PostFacebookWall its working now with the new access token i can post on my wall.
But since it will expire in few hours i want to make it longer access token for 60 days. So i have this method:
public static string RenewToken(string existingToken)
var fb = new FacebookClient();
dynamic result = fb.Get("oauth/access_token",
new
client_id = ,
client_secret = "",
grant_type = "fb_exchange_token",
fb_exchange_token = existingToken
return result.access_token;
Si called the method RenewToken in my constructor and used with my current access token code and im getting this exception:
(OAuthException - #1) The access token does not belong to application 1378943962355167
Strange since i checked double time and got the app id and secret from the current app.
This is the full exception error message:
Facebook.FacebookOAuthException was unhandled
HResult=-2146233088
Message=(OAuthException - #1) The access token does not belong to application 1378943962355167

The tooltip pop up when hovering over a link gets in my way if something is at the very bottom lower corner of a page...

.and I don't want to upgrade FF to what might be a beta version to get this status4eva addon!
I prefer to keep my status bar visible as I have a weather addon and like to see up to the minute info on the temperature outside and I use foxclocks to keep track of timezones where online friends live.
Now for what I'm talking about:
For example, I'll go to Livejournal and some layouts have the "previous/next" link in the lower left(your left if you face the screen) corner where the tooltip pops up. Well, the pointer will spaz between becoming the pointer finger and an arrow, and the link becomes impossible to click. I can get around it by opening a new tab, but this is really annoying to have to open and close tabs constantly. I REALLY think the tooltip should just pop up across the status bar area itself if at all, because it seriously gets in my way.
Yes, I am aware it will move to the right if it's still there when a page is loading and you move the mouse pointer down there. However, this is not the case if a page isn't loading and you're trying to click that "next" link at the bottom of a page.
This is VERY annoying. Please look into it when upgrading FF further.

A possible workaround could be to have the horizontal scroll bar visible all the time.
<pre><nowiki>body { overflow-x: scroll !important; }</nowiki></pre>

HT1751 when I try to drag my Itunes into my external hard drive, I get the "no way" symbol, circ;e with a line thjrough it. How can I back up? I have lost a fortune in purchased items because I cannot back up despite following the Unhelpful help.

I cannot drag my Itunes folder to my external hard drive, despite following the unhelpful help exactly. I get a "no way" sign Circle with a line though it. I have lost a fortune in purchased goods (audio books) because I cant do it. Itunes have said they cant reimburse me and they dont have those books anymore, so cannot redownload them for me. Please remind me NEVER to buy apple products again.
I am scared I am going to lose more money seeing I cant BACK ANYTHING UP.

If you used the hard drive with another Mac then it is likely Mac formatted. It was because you posted in the iTunes for Windows forum (kind of the equivalent to taking a VW to a Ford dealership for service) I thought you might be using a Windows formatted drive.
Thumb drives are not universal. There isn't a "universal" drive format. Some work partly with both systems but are not fully compatible.
Click once on the hard drive icon on the desktop. Fo to File then Get Info. It will say the drive format.
Frankly I have never had your problem with a drive so I can't help too much except in general experience. The prohibitory sign is pretty universal and for some reason you are not allowed to copy to that drive.
I think if you had a Windows computer you'd be unhappy with it too and probably be posting on a forum that your machine was virus ridden and crashing and you didn't know anything about registries... To be honest, I was doing a presentation on a friend's Windows computer and wanted to get it to display a simple image file. There was no way we could get the .jpg image file to open with anything but Windows Explorer which is a web browser! I mean, that's really bad, and of course he was so used to using it without knowing anything about computers that he could not help me. I did my presentation in front of 30 people using Explorer.

How do I get rid of the hover description on the taskbar? Like when you hover over Firefox and it shows the title of the website you're on. It gets in the way of gaming.

I'm a gamer and I play in windowed mode, and every now and then this gets in my way of playing. It's super annoying and I have to either close out Firefox or move my taskbar to the top, which isn't optimal.
I'd like to be able to play in windowed mode, with a browser open if I so need, without accidently hovering over it and causing this stupid tooltip to block the spells I need to use.
http://i55.tinypic.com/10e25xe.jpg
That's what I'm talking about.
I use Windows 7.
I've disabled the thumbnail previews.
All other taskbar icons have the registry edit that extends hover time so that I have to hover for a long time for it to display, so it's fine.
I've tried the Firefox about:config where I disable the browser.chrome thingy and those things related to that.
Is there any way to get rid of this display that when you hover over the web browser it tells you the name of the page you're on?

Wade and Monica,
Thanks for your help.
Wade, it hit me when you asked "why is it a png" file and I realized that I was using the wrong file. Sometimes its hard to see the forest for the trees! Problem for banner artwork fixed and I have now used the correct logo file so no more dotted line.
The dotted line only appears on the the png version of the logo. There's no coloured background on the logo file. She gave me the file as both an eps and a png file. I'm pretty sure she created the logo in Illustrator. I've been using the png file for the website, which is what I thought it worked well for. And the eps one for my print materials.
I have no clue why I grabbed the png instead of the eps logo file I usually use, but thanks for pointing out the obvious since I wasted time trying to fix it and was getting very frustrated at what had suddenly gone "wrong".
I still have that dotted line on the png file of the logo but I'll have to figure that out another day.
Thanks again!
Hasmi

All of a sudden when i try to attach an iphoto to an email or facebook i get a message that say i need i photo 5 or later and my pictures are not available

First I have Mac OSX 10.6.8
I photo 8.1.2
All of a sudden when I attempt to download a photo from Iphoto to an email attachment or to facebook, I get a message that says I need to :
"open Iphoto 5 or later to see photos from your Iphoto library in this list" it shows in light grey.
AS I mentioned above, I have 8.1.2 and my photos are all available when I go to the photo app.
I read to delete iphoto from the library which i did but that didn't help and maybe was a mistake? And if it was how do I fix that?
I have searched the web to no resolve. I also see that I do not have the latest version of iphoto but when I check for updates it says there are none available.
What happened and how can I fix it! HELP!
I'm not very computer savvy so I appreciate simple instructions.
Thank you!

1. Try reinstall iLIfe 09 from your install disk
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
*Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.
If that fails, then you're reinstalling the OS.

Sudenly, for the past 4 days, Wikipedia conects very slowly, gets stuck half-way, etc.; pther websites work fine

For the past several days, while all other websites work as fine as before on Firefox, Wikipedia works very badly: it responds very slowly and often gets stuck half-way before opening a page. I have tried several solutions but the problem recurs. On a different platform, Safari is connecting fine. Any suggestions?

When looking at videos on Facebook I get an error that says something went wrong try again

When looking at videos on Facebook I get an error that says "something went wrong try again"

Are you running modified software on your phone? This error seems to be common if the firmware has been modified and you're trying to restore the phone again.

When downloading video to Facebook I get message "Firefox is preventing you from reloading this page" and allow button doesn't do any good.

when I try to download a personal video to Facebook I get the message " Firefox prevented this page from automatically reloading". I click the allow button which lets it start downloading but it only stays on 3-5 seconds then gives me the message all over again. At this rate it would take an hour to download a one minute video. I also get this message in other programs and I don't have a clue how to stop it. Help me please!!!

Website servers can redirect more than once, so you may not see anything happen and may need to click Allow more than once.
See:
* Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > General : Accessibility : [ ] "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"
The setting in "Tools > Options > Advanced > General" is meant as an accessibility feature, as you can see by the label of that section, so that people with disabilities or people who use screen readers do not get confused and is not meant as a safety protection to stop redirecting.
