FF doesn't work anymore, and seeing this forum through IE6 makes me hate things

== Issue
==
Firefox is crashing or closing unexpectedly
== Description
==
This is a direct reply to http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/forum/1/594409 because I cannot answer to it. I selected "I have the same problem" among the checkboxes and it tells me "YOU MUST SPECIFY A POST SUBJECT". I tried all the checkboxes and the problem persists. I'm on IE6 because FF is out the window (read on) and to be honest, this entire domain loads ''poorly'' through here (no suprise, but guys, people come here to switch FROM 6.0, what are they going to do if they only see basic html unless they refresh twice per page?)
Basically, the response:
Exact same ''thing'' here. Today, suddenly and for no apparent reason FF and Opera crashed permanently at the same time. I could not start them, nor reinstall them, after reboot or in failsafe mode. Firefox installer v3.0.7 AND v3.6 both crash on 0% extracting process and die. I don't know what to do - my IE is a 6.0 version for design testing purposes - it doesn't even store cookies (and installing a newer IE just won't happen).

Thanks I'll look at that entry. Still I'd like to point out that this page clearly says that the timezone is to be set in rc.conf, which is a bit confusing. I must've followed this guide to get to my current configuration. I am dual booting with multiple other systems (xubuntu, win7, puppy, crunchbang) so from what I've read win7 might be the problem, but I haven't started it since i installed arch and my time has been off from the start.
Should I simply use NTP now that pacman is working again?
Thanks

After installing Lion, my microsoft office suite doesn't work anymore, and show this message: Application Power PC no longer available. How can I resolve it?

Is there any possibilty to recover the use of my Microsoft Office suite, which doesn't work anymore after installing Lion?
The programs display this error message: "no puede abrir la aplicación Microsoft Excel (o any other) porque las aplicaciones Power PC ya no son compatibles"
thanks for your help

You will need to upgrade your suite of MS programs.
Older suites, like MS Office 2004, use program versions written for Macs with PPC processors. In order to use those apps in pre-Lion OS's on an Intel-processor machine, it was necessary to install Rosetta, software designed just for the purpose of using PPC-apps on an Intel machine.
Unfortunately, Lion does not support Rosetta, so those apps no longer work.
Solution - update them to a version which will work in Lion, such as the MS Office 2008 suite, or newer if available.

My iMac with Snow Leopard 10.6.8 crahed b/c the HD cannot be repaired. I reinstalled Mac OS X and luckily have most documents and applications. I have moved them all into folders before I erase the HD. I had all my documents but lost the 3 applications for iWorks. It says go to the store, buy and enter your serial#. That is not working. Here it is:MB966Z/A

My screen on my Mac book doesn't work anymore and just stays black.

The screen on my Mac book pro does not work anymore. The computer still come on but nothing will come on the screen.

Hello, and welcome to Support Communities...!
You may have to pack up the unit and take it to a 'specialist' if you are within a resonable proximity of an Apple Store with 'genius bar' calling ahead and plan the trip for when you could get an appointment, may be best. Or at least most cost-effective if they can help troubleshoot the issue and narrow it to one cause. Is the computer still under AppleCare coverage?
I'm not sure if there is a way to make an external display work via adapter by default when you can't use the main display to choose an external, but if you (or a genius at Store) could do that, troubleshooting the rest would be less difficult.
And get an estimate from more than one capable qualified repair facility if the first numbers you hear are scary... If the unit is old and out-of-warranty, other options to restore it are out there. Depending on where you live, the odds will vary.
I had fine results from 'wegenermedia.com' thousands of miles away, via mail, with portable Mac repairs. I've repaired & restored over 150 desktop Macs with hardware problems, but have no experience with newer portables or early tightly-packed iMac designs where getting good parts can be hard; since I am not in the business and have no budget... All that I repaired I donated to charity thrift stores in working order, free.
Hopefully can you get it working.
Good luck & happy computing!

After internet disconnection, safari doesn't work anymore and i haveO to restore the ipad again and loose my apps, solution?

After internet disconnection, due to bad weather, safari can't find the server anymore and i have to restore the ipad to the factory settings and loose the apps. This has happened at least 5 times in 9 months. Solutions?

What Apple wants from his customers?
1) I've paid my iPhone 4S 900 euros;
2) I'm used to buy music and apps from iTunes store;
3) my iCloud space costs 32 euros per year
and, like me, millions of customers around the world!
and Apple does not allow me (and many others) to use the internet traffic for which I (we) pay my (our) provider, that's not among those that directly sell iPhone??? Is this your idea of a really unblocked device as you falsely declsre from the pages of Apple online store ?!? Shame on you!
If I had know that the 7.1 led to this I'd never updated my iPhone. No one (Apple and the sites that live because of her) told about this issue in their enthusiastic comments on the new, updated version, of iOS. Shame on you!
This would claim a class action against such a behaviour!
I'm disgusted
thank you

Class unloading doesn't work as described in this forum !!!

Hi,
to the problem of dynamic class unloading many people in this forum wrote:
- write your own class loader
- load the class to be unloaded later
- set all instances of your own class loader to null
- if the work is done set all instances of the loaded classes to null
- call the garbage collector and the classes will be removed
I constructed a simple test for the problem:
- the test class
public class Impl {
public String getVersion () {
return "1";
- instanciating the test class
- printing the value of getVersion() to the screen
- changing the return value of getVersion() and recompiling it (the test application is still runnig)
- unload try (see below)
- instanciating the test class
- printing the value of getVersion() to the screen
Back to the tipps above. Why doing this? The theory says a class loader stores every loaded class for
suppressing unnecessary reloads. In reality the classes are NOT stored in the own class loader but in
the parent of it. If no parameter is given to a class loader's constructor the parent of a class loader
is the system classloader.
Let's have a look at the source code of java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(...):
protected synchronized Class loadClass(String name, boolean resolve)
throws ClassNotFoundException
// First, check if the class has already been loaded
Class c = findLoadedClass(name);
if (c == null) {
try {
if (parent != null) {
### here the loadClass() of the parent is called and the
### loaded class is stored within the parent
c = parent.loadClass(name, false);
} else {
c = findBootstrapClass(name);
} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
// If still not found, then call findClass in order
// to find the class.
c = findClass(name);
if (resolve) {
resolveClass(c);
return c;
My Idea was: Give a null to the class loader's constructor so the classes cannot be stored within a parent.
Here my test class loader (it is build as it is described within javadoc of java.lang.ClassLoader
except the constructor):
import java.io.*;
public class MyClassLoader extends ClassLoader {
public MyClassLoader () {
super ( null );
public Class findClass ( String name ) {
byte[] b = loadClassData ( name );
return defineClass ( name, b, 0, b.length );
private byte[] loadClassData ( String name ) {
byte[] ret = null;
try {
InputStream in = new FileInputStream ( name + ".class" );
ret = new byte[in.available ()];
in.read ( ret );
} catch ( Exception e ) {
e.printStackTrace ();
return ret;
The loading of the class works fine
ClassLoader cl = new MyClassLoader ();
Class c = cl.loadClass ( "Impl" );
Object i = c.newInstance ();
Impl impl = (Impl)i;
The class "Impl" was found and instanciated. But the cast "Impl impl = (Impl)i;" causes a
"java.lang.ClassCastException: Impl"
May second idea was deleting all instances of the class to unload from the class loader via reflection.
A strange way I know but if this is the only way I will do it. But this doesn't work too.
After deleting the class from the class loader and all its parents the class is still anywhere in the depth
of the VM.
Can anybody help me with this problem?
Thanks in advance,
Axel.

I made a similar and simpler program and it worked:
import java.net.URLClassLoader;
import java.net.URL;
public class DynamicExtension {
     public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
          URL[] ua = new URL[] { new URL("file://c:\\TEMP\\") };
          URLClassLoader ucl = new URLClassLoader(ua);
          MyLoadable l =
               (MyLoadable) ucl.loadClass("LoadableObject").newInstance();
          l.printVersion();
          Thread.currentThread().sleep(10000);
//you have ten seconds to replace the old version of the LoadableObject.class file
//so yo?d better had compiled the new one before executing this
          ucl = new URLClassLoader(ua);
          l = (MyLoadable) ucl.loadClass("LoadableObject").newInstance();
          l.printVersion();
          ucl = null;
          l = null;
          System.gc();
public class LoadableObject implements MyLoadable {
     public void printVersion() {
          System.out.println("version 1");
     protected void finalize() {
          System.out.println("finalizing " + this);
public interface MyLoadable {     void printVersion(); }
C:\Java\TIJ2\Test>java DynamicExtension
version 1
version 2
finalizing LoadableObject@1bd03e
finalizing LoadableObject@4abc9
The ClassCastException was due to the fact that one class was loaded by the system class loader, the one that appers as Impl impl = (Impl), and the other by MyClassLoader. That mean that they are different for the VM because they are in different namespaces: The namespace for MyClassLoader is the set of classes loaded by itself and those returned to it by his parent class loader as a result of a request to MyClassLoader?s parent class loader to load a class.
Setting null for the parent of MyClassLoader was in fact the cause of the problem, because that caused a call to a native method called findBoostrapClass. I guess this method looks for the classes in the bootstrap classpath where MyClassLoader shouldn?t be. This causes MyClassLoader loaded the class itself. If MyClassLoader had had the system class loader as its parent the result had been that only one classloader would have loaded the class. This is what happens in the example above so no ClassCastException is thrown.
In the source code for ClassLoader
there is the following:
* The classes loaded by this class loader. The only purpose of this
* table is to keep the classes from being GC'ed until the loader
* is GC'ed.
private Vector classes = new Vector(); /*
and:
* Called by the VM to record every loaded class with this loader.
void addClass(Class c) {
classes.addElement(c);
I would like to have seen findLoadedClass checking the already loaded classes in this Vector, but this method is native. Anyway, as the code for loadClass shows, the parent or bootstrap classloader is checked if findLoadedClass doesn?t find the class; Can we guess that findLoadedClass only checks the clases loaded by the classloader, not its parent?
By the way, could an example like this be made in c++?

If my ipod touch 5th generation charger doesn't work anymore and i go back to apple, will they give me a new free charger or will i have to pay for a new one?

Lately my Ipod 5th generatioon charger hasnt been working very well. I wanted to know if this is a problem in where if i go to apple they will give me a new charger in which i need to pay for or will i go to apple and they will give me a new one for free. I've already had to pay for 2 new chargers somewhere else so i really hope someone can give me an honest answer because to be honest i really dont want to pay for a new charger! Hurry please

If this is an Apple charger less than a year old, Apple will replace it under warranty.

My tab button doesn't work anymore and I use the "command Tab" keyboard shortcut to change between open applications. A LOT.

I have a wireless keyboard and the tab key stopped working today. I don't know if I can work effectively without the tab key. I use x.7.4
I don't have the money to purchase a new computer so I'm thinking a good workaround would be to use another key for TAB. How can I do this?

If you have a Mac Mini, you just need a new keyboard. Logitech, MacAlly, and Microsoft all make Mac compatible keyboards.
iOS is not running on your machine. It is Mac OS X 10.7.4 you need to be selecting for your signature.

I forgot my password for my account and the email doesn't work anymore, and the message to sign into FaceTime keeps popping up every time I cancel it, how do I get it to stop?

I forgot my password for my accounts and a message keeps popping up and won't go away or let me use my iPad, how do I get my iPad back to normal?

My iPhone 5 fell down on the floor, than when I pick it up the most of the screen turns to different colors( lines or other stuff) , and when I touch the screen, it doesn't work anymore ,and I search how to fix it on google, but I follow the instructions

What can I just do now, how can I fix it

The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
Restart... Reset... Restore from Backup... Restore as New...
However...
In your caes (having dropped the iDevice) it looks like a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is required... Be sure to make an appointment first...

Pinching in Safari doesn't work anymore..

In ML it was possible to pinch and get an overview of your tabs.
As I discovered recently this doesn't work anymore.
Pinching to get tab overview doesn''t work anymore and pinching to zoom in/out either.
Any solutions or thoughts on this issue? Perhaps involving the recent Safari update in ML?

Please read this whole message before doing anything. This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it. Step 1 The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account. Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.” While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin. Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem? After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it. *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing. Step 2 The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. *Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

BBM Barcode scanner . doesn't work anymore !

BBM barcode scanner doesn't work anymore , and i've downloaded a barcode scanner
like QR Scanner Pro and Barcode scanner from app world and it doesn't work either,
it was working fine month ago, i have no idea what happened to it
Please Help i really need it for some groups i wanna join

Have you tried contacting the developer of the app, perhaps? Since it's an app, the developer is responsible for support, aren't they?
Beyond that, the next step would be to ensure that your BB OS is indeed compatible with the app. If so, then further steps could be to seek out an updated BB OS (one that, of course, remains compatible with your apps) as well as performing a clean reload of your BB OS and all of your apps...just in case something has become corrupted in the BB OS itself.
Good luck!

Wake on Lan doesn't work anymore

Hello all,
I have 3 computers (1 iMac and 2 Mac Mini) connected via Wifi or Ethernet to my router.
One Mac Mini (a Late 2006 under Snow Leopard) is used as a "NAS" with 2 USB external hard drives.
"Wake for network access" is checked in Energy Saver Preference pane.
Everything has worked fine for months : the "NAS" Mac Mini woke up everytime I choose it in the Finder.
But, since an Apple TV update, Wake on LAN doesn't work anymore, and that's the case for my 3 computers.
And I don't know exactly which update has broken the Bonjour Sleep Proxy.
I've tried to restore my Apple TV, without success...
Do you have any idea ?
Thanks for your help
Best regards

Yes, anonymous filtering was unchecked and I had singularly forwarded ports 7 and 9 to the static IP address set up in the DHCP, trying UDP, TCP, then both. (I was desperate!). Then I forwarded both ports doing the same thing, UDP, TCP, both. I know it uses UDP, but again, I was desperate. I turned off the firewalls completely and again, as a last resort, I put the computer to be woke up in the DMZ to no avail. It's the firmware (= I'm unimpressed with my first Cisco purchase).
