FF hung up on launch, resulting in skipping option to restore previous session.

when i use about:sessionrestore, it doesn't show previous session. i keep my life in open tabs and seriously feel hopeless about losing my 92 open tabs. lost and useless. is there any way to recover (that doesn't require an IT background)
yes, i should probably bookmark, but it's a pain to organize bookmarks, i just use the open tabs and the windows to organize.

Can I avoid having "Restore Previous Session" box when launching?

After opening Firefox and then closing it normally (with the red X or using File | Exit), then the next time I open Firefox there is a blue window in the lower middle of the screen to "Restore Previous Session." What if I don't want that window there? There was no fault, no crash of any kind. I've disabled the "restore session after crash" but that didn't help.
I do want the browser to remember my browsing history to help fill in the address bar.

Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session. 
Use "File > Exit" or "Firefox > Exit" if you want to restore multiple windows. 
You can use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time. 
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default about:home Home page. 
Firefox 4 uses a new build-in home page called about:home
That about:home page only shows some snippets and has a button to restore the previous session if applicable.
If you want a home page without the Restore Previous Session then set another page as the home page like www.google.com or www.google.com/firefox used in Firefox 3 versions.

IMac running 10.7.3 stuck on rainbow wheel right after desktop launches and google chrome trying to restore a previous browsing session

Hello All - thanks in advance for your help with this.
The problem I'm encountering is on an iMac 24" from 2008, Intel Core 2Duo 1.3 GHz processor. I'm running 10.7.3 but have yet to install the client combo update.
My computer would not wake from sleep this morning after having been left on all night. The last two apps I had been running last night before this morning's freeze up were Google Chrome and iTunes. I restarted the computer and noticed at the login screen that one of the login accounts that is normally set up for use had disappeared. Once I logged in to my account, which had not disappeared, and arrived at the desktop, Chrome automatically tried to relaunch and restore the previous session with a note indicating that the browser had not been quit properly.
iTunes was running as well but had no functionality - non responsive to mouse click commands, etc. About thirty seconds later the rainbow wheel appeared and began spinning.
Tried force quitting both applications applications respectively but the finder was non-responsive as well. The dock would pop up when moused over but I was not permitted to select any of the icons. Restarted the computer and essentially the same thing occurred but I was able to quit out of iTunes this time before the rainbow wheel started.
Tried restarting with all peripheral hardware disconnected. No change. Tried booting up in safe mode - didn't work. Rebooted in disk utility mode - ran disk verification and was told all was well. Ran permissions verifications and was told there were problems. Repaired the permissions issues successfully. Rebooted again but same issue with desktop/apps freezing up. Rebooted into Disk Utility mode and tried a reinstall of lion - reinstall successul but upon normal reboot desktop still frozen once I launched Chrome and attempted to get to apple site to download the 10.7.3 patch.
Tried rebooting in disk utility mode to restore from a time machine back up - the external hard drive where my back ups are stored did not appear as a restore source even though I had reconnected the USB cable.
I then rebooted again into disk utility mode and tried to use safari to navigate to the apple site and download the 10.7.3 client combo update. No dice - received error messages saying the download could not be completed because there was insufficient memory available.
Called Apple - rep said I should take the computer in to the store - refused as of the time of the call because I had already wasted half the day on this and didn't want to flush the remainder down the toilet hanging around at the Apple store. So much for that - the day is now totally wasted any way.
Another couple of bits of information which may or may not be helpful:
When I'm in disk utility mode the disk image icon at the top of the list of disk images/mounts on the left hand side of the utility window is in red text: 320.07 GB WDC WD320...and the main dialogue box says: "This drive has a hardware problem that can't be repaired. Back up Data and see Apple dealer for help." One might conclude that my computer is therefore dead...not exactly. This happened once before after trying to set up a bootcamp partition using XP instead of windows 7. XP is not supported by Lion but I was trying a work around. Soon thereafter I upgraded my OS to 10.7.2 (or.3 can't remember) using software updater instead of a full native download from the Apple Support site and the computer went bananas. After the upgrade I was getting the CUI ???? errors which have since become infamous. While working with Apple phone support on the CUI issue and using disk utility on that issue, that same red text disc image came up and the note about my hardware having failed as described above. Apple told me I was cooked and my machine was finished. They were wrong. I can't remember what I did but I worked on the problem a bit more and was eventually able to upgrade my OS from the native download and get my machine back in order and runnign fine.
I recently attempted the bootcamp partition (stupidly) work around for XP again without success - last week before all of the latest drama set in. YES I have learned my lession and will not attempt this again.
So that's what's going on - sorry for the Moby Dick lenght description but I figured the more details available the more likely some one is to know how to fix the problem.
Any thoughts, suggestions, HELP please!!!
Thanks.

How to restore previous version of search/results.aspx

Hi,
I have search center as sub site. There is no Pages library available for the search center.
I had customized the OOTB search results page. Now, I need to restore previous version of the results page.
The url for results page appears as <site collection URL>/search/results.aspx
Which library contains the results.aspx page and how to restore it to previous version?
Thanks,
dhijit

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to restore previous version of search/results.aspx.
Per my knowledge, the results.aspx isn’t stored in the library.
You can open the SharePoint Designer to find the results.aspx under the “All Files” folder.
There is no version information on the page.
You need to modify the page to the result which is the same as the previous version.
Best Regards,
Linda Li

HT201263 3g hung in recovery mode and Unable to update or restore

Had new IPHONE 3G 2 days and when finished sitting phone up it locked in recovery mode with itunes app and usb cord, so how do i recover unlocked 3g hung in recovery mode and unable to update or restore.

If the Device has been modified this will not necessarily work.
Unable to Update or Restore http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

The message "restore previous settings" (or somethinglike that) comes up when mozilla is launched. Are there two programs running at the same time.

Frequently there are two mozilla programs launched when the icon is hit. Often the "restore previous settings" message is displayed. I also often loose my connection to the internet which I suspect is somehow connected to the dual mozilla problem. How can I eliminate this situation? Can I uninstall mozilla and then download it again via explorer?

Apple TV preset : Compressing DVCPRO HD footage : Results in skipped frames

I've been super confused about the recent issue. I've got a 7 minute sequence in FCP which I'm sending to compressor. I'm compressing for my Apple TV. I use the preset, in the Apple Devices folder.
The movie compresses fine, in about 10 minutes. Final size is about 250MB, 960x540.
I have 4 spots where the movie will actually skip a frame. It's VERY detectable because these are Motion sequences with some very flowing camera movements. A skipped frame is like getting punched in the eye. This is seen on my MacPro and my Apple TV.
I have recreated this issue about 10 times, always with the same spots on the movie. I can't get rid of them. I've checked the original files, the original sequence, and there's no skipped frames. I've exported to H.264, no problem there. I've exported to iPod, and the same thing happens.
What's the commonality?... the m4v compressor.
Now, I've imported the full DVC PRO HD film, as exported from FCP, and put it in iTunes. Then I choose "convert for Apple TV." Final size is 190MB, about 60 MB smaller than the compressor version. Reason?.... Who knows what the settings are for iTunes to AppleTV?
This version plays smoothly, with no jumps or skipped frames, on my MacPro, and on my AppleTV.
What's is up? I am trying to figure out if my DVCPRO HD sequence is trying to shove too much info into an m4v sequence using the preset, and the result is that compressor just throws a frame away here and there.
This totally *****.

To be perfectly blunt, you are best off going 960x540 since you're shooting 60i.
If you were shooting a 24p format it would make sense try to 1280x720 (since all you'd have to do is resize) but since you're attempting to retime as well (and only gaining frame judder, the choppiness that you speak of) it's not worth the time and effort. Sure you can export your FCP timeline out to a reference QT movie and drop that into Compressor - creating a PhotoJPEG movie at 1280x720 and 23.98 (making sure Frame Controls are all cranked up to Better, and output set to Progressive) but it'll take forever.
As for export to TV, I personally always use QuickTime Pro's Export to MPEG-4 feature, since I can make an h.264 encoded .mp4 file that uses Multi-Pass (being careful to adjust settings to within the TV's specs). All the AppleTV presets - even in Compressor 3 - are subpar and single-pass.
Of course, if you'd rather have a .mov file, just use Compressor to do that.

Import of songs results in skipping, file corruption

Apologies in advance for the length of this post, but I want to provide very specific details...
One month ago I upgraded a WIndows XP machine to Windows 7 64-bit. All of the iTunes MP3 files were backed up on a second hard drive in the machine. After the upgrade, I reinstalled the latest version of iTunes, then attempted to import the music files into the library.
This took place without a hitch, but within days I had found that greater than 75% of the files were now corrupt. When listening to music, songs would skip, cut out for 10 seconds, or just quit playing. This would happen on iPods I had set up with these files, my iPhone, and even when playing the files on iTunes on the Win7 64b computer.
Fortunately, my entire library is also backed up on another Win XP machine in the same room, on a network. So I deleted all of the files from the Win7 computer, then imported from the WinXP machine. Mind you, all of the songs play just fine on the XP machine. When I finished importing the 4000 tracks... same problem on the Win7 machine. Corrupt tracks, skipping, cutting out, scratching, etc. It sounded like a bad LP.
Over the past month, I have found that if I delete a corrupt song file, then import that song from the XP machine, it fixes the song. So I can actually put use-able tracks on the Win7 machine. But frankly, I do not have time to import 4000 songs one song at a time.
This past weekend I stripped the library again, then tried importing around 30-40 songs at a time from the XP computer. Same problem. I don't know what the cutoff is, but it's somewhere between 1 and about 30 songs at a time.
I am terribly frustrated by this issue. I have scoured the message boards looking for any ideas as to how to have a non-corrupt library on the Win7 machine. I would like to upgrade the XP machine to Win7, but frankly, I'm scared I'm going to lose my library. Until I know I have a safely backed up set of files that will play without skips, that isn't happening.
Any ideas? Anybody?!?!

I found a workaround for this problem...
I ended up backing up the entire iTunes folder plus all of my tracks to an external hard drive, then moving them over to the new Win 7 computer. I then had to tell the iTunes Library to find the files again, but it incorporated them without using the import process.
This worked well, no more skipping. But, an album I had recently purchased from iTunes and downloaded onto the Win 7 computer lost half the tracks. At first I was really ticked off, because in spite of backing it up EXACTLY LIKE APPLE SAYS TO, the mp3 files were corrupted. Then I realized I still had the entire album intact on my iPhone, so I was able to sync the phone with the computer and move the valid files back on to the computer. Problem solved... though only due to luck.
Apple really needs to fix this issue. I don't what the problem is with Win 7 64-bit, but it's ridiculous that importing files using Home Share corrupts them on Win7 64-bit computers. All that is happening is a file is moving from one machine to another. If iTunes has to shuffle them around and in the process destroys them, that's just ridiculously sad. Amidst all of the horror stories out there regarding iTunes, this is my first negative experience with it personally, but it is a crippling feature that the software engineers should find completely unacceptable.

Games cannot be launched resulting in no response from iPod

I tried to open a game resulting in my iPod classic freezing and ubale to reset. It also doesn't show up in iTunes.

Abbey,
How did you try and reset the iPod? Did you press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear? Did you make sure to try this at least 3 times if not more?
If you still don't get a response, you'll need to wait for your iPod's battery to fully drain.

Hung up on launch: Initializing Required Components

Out of the many hundred times I've launched Adobe Audition, two times it's fallen into a pattern of hanging up on launch, while "initializing required components." The first time, turning on the mixer to which it's attached seemed to solve the issue. This time, I've had the mixer on from the start.
Of course, I'd love to save myself from having to re-install. If that's the only solution, is there a file I can save that will contain all of my settings?
Many thanks.
Kevin

Hi Kevin,
I would first rename/backup the Audition preferences folder. If you rename it and then launch Audition, Audition will try to create the preferences from scratch. If this is fixes things, then it points to a corrupt preference file and you can try moving them back one-by-one until you find the one that causes the problem. (This also ensures you have a backup of those files.)
You don't mention which version of Windows you're using, but you should find the folders here:
XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Adobe\Audition\3.0\
Vista/Win7: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Audition\3.0\
Try renaming the 3.0 folder to 3.0BACKUP so it's clear what it is.
If this doesn't resolve the startup problem, you can rename the folder back (or even make a copy of it for further safety) and let us know so we can contrinue troubleshooting.

When launch w/ Seamless windows, doesn't effectively end session

To replicate, we are doing the following:
1) Have users launch MS Visio by clicking a link on our site as follows:
https://servername.com/sgd/launcher.jsp?o=Write&e=false
2) And Visio is running as a "Seamless Window"
The result: when a user closes Visio (clicks the "X" or file>exit application), the windows app server effectively logs out of that terminal services session, but SGD's object manager still shows that the session has been "suspended." Additionally, the taskbar tcc.exe icon is still present. Users then have trouble logging in again, get errors, etc.
But when we have visio launch in an independent window, and the user closes the app, everything works fine (the taskbar icon goes away and object manager shows that the session has actually closed).
This means we cannot use seamless windows in this way. Can Sun replicate this, and is there a workaround or a fix planned?
Thank you

Had a very similar issue with Linux KDE applications. Appears, we have corrected the issues � the issue was � the parent process forked a process, elevating the child to it's own parent disassociating the forked process, (child) from the parent. When the application was closed with �File close� all was fine, when the applications was closed with the �X� we saw the issue. To correct the issue � we changed the options in the ARRAY relative to �what to due� when the application exits and leveraged a no fork option available within the application. I realize this may not or will not help. But, we started looking at unconventional way's to launch applications and dug very deeply into the options as to how applications can be executed/launched, the options were relative to the application not SGD.

None of my Apps will launch now, i'm trying to restore - HELP!,

Hi,
I accidentally re-installed OSX from the install disk. I'll skip the details of why, i was trying to do a custom install and get something off the install disk,.. anyway,
i purchased Data Rescue II and it recovered everything but it does not re-install. It instead writes it all to external drive.
Now my Apps will not launch, or they are running in Demo mode. I"m looking the the directories but it's not obvious how to fix this. Does any know how?
Is there a recovered system file that tells the OS to run the apps properly.

This is kind of a continuation of [this other topic|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1916430&tstart=0] so others may wish to refer to it.
I have not seen any such lists in a long time (maybe since OS7 days). Some applications install literally thousands of files and make more after you have run them. Honestly, the best thing to do is reinstall everything you can that will install on its own, OS, applications. After that you can use what they installed as indication of where special files such as preferences and lists you may have built actually belong.

Back arrow does not work with SQL Server Reporting Services Reports. When one pages back from a sub report the back action appears to skip moving to the previous step. IE 8 works fine?

I have a SSRS report that has a parameter driven drop down list to select a catagory for a report to run a summary for the category in Report Manager. When the report runs there are links to a sub report with more detailed information about the category summary. Firefox runs everything correctly up to this point.
When I try to back arrow from the sub report Firefox skips the summary report page and reverts to the initial page where the sub category can be selected to run the summary report.
Can you help? IE8 works well with this but has severe spped issues with reports that contain multiple selection parameters. Firefox handles the multiple parameters very fast but has the page back issue.
