Firefox 3.6.23 keeps downloading. It has done this for about 2 hours without stopping once I opened Firefox. Is it supposed to take this long from version 3.6.8?
Part of the testing I am doing requires that I know which version of Firefox I am using. I opened Help on the tool bar and above "About Mozilla Firefox" is "Downloading Firefox 3.6.23 until a few second ago. when I clicked on it . It finished.
Sheesh!!
If files already have been downloaded then remove the files in the updates and updates\0 folder.
You can also delete active-update.xml and possibly updates.xml, if present, if the problem perssists.
C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox\updates
(%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox)
If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version and delete the Firefox program folder to remove any leftover files.
* Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 7.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version.
* Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
* 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.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

The rainbow loading circle has been loading for about 4 hours now on my log in page for MacBooks when you first turn it on.

It won't shut down, otherwise I could just restart it. that's the problem! It's only a year old. I guess I'll have to wait until it dies
If you are still under warranty and/or have AppleCare, call them. Let them deal w/it. -

With a broken Poser Button you don't have any choice but to wait for the battery to get depleted/discharged fully.

Spotlight has been reindexing for about an hour. Should I panic???
Went the terminal route to reindex the hard drive. Everything seemed to work correctly but spotlight has been reindexing for at least an hour or more. The little dot in the middle of the magnifying glass continues to fade in and out as I recall and when hovering over it with the cursor it says indexing volumes. I did this about a year ago and I don't remember it taking this long. Is this normal? There's about 35-40 gigs of info on the computer. Will let it run overnight and then panic.
Can anyone enlighten me what to expect or what to do if it doesn't finish in a reasonable time.
Thanks and be well,
Elliot
Running 10.47 on an 1.8 iMacWhen I reindex mine take an hour or so, 40-50GB on a 7200RPM notebook drive. I've had really good luck using the Spotlight Privay pane to reset indexing.
If it doesn't finish when you need it to, you should be able to just drag the hard drive into the Spotlight Preferences Privacy pane and reboot. Once you're logged back in, open the Privacy pane and remove the hard drive to restart indexing.
When I do it, I don't even need to reboot, but I'm suggesting it because there is already an index process running. -
I am having trouble after loading the 8.1 operating system on my ipad.
My iPad is model A1397 EMC 2424
MEID ********
Serial DL******JHH
64GB
I started loading 8.1 about 5 hours ago and it is still sitting with the black screen with the progress bar underneath. It shows that it is almost done loading - just has a tiny bit of the progress bar left.
<Edited by Host>I Don't know if this will work for anyone else but just FYI - after loading 8.1 on my iPad it froze for several hours on the black screen with white Apple and progress bar underneath. It would not do anything. I thought I was doomed. I accidentay left it sitting overnight without plugging it Back into the charger. I meant to but got sidetracked and thought it was plugged in. During the night the battery was totally drained so this morning my iPad was dead. I plugged it into the charger and after a few minutes the battery icon came up showing it was charging. I gave it about 30 minutes and then turned it on and the new operating system came up. It looks like it might be ok now. I can't say I recommend this, but it worked for me.

Disk Utility has been partitioning for about 3 hours now.
Ok so I wanted to partition my internal hard drive for time machine. So I went into Applications and opened up Disk Utility. I then Selected my internal hard drive, adjusted the partitions to the desired sizes and clicked apply. All the options grayed out and the little striped progress bar began moving. This was about 3-4 hours ago and nothing has changed. Someone help please, I'm afraid to force quit it or turn off my mac at the cost of my hard drive.
It's not really a progress bar just an animated blue and white "candy cane-like" bar
If that is the case, that is not a progress indicator, so it hasn't yet started to partition and is stalled. Just stop, there will be no damage.
The question now is why has this happened, and what can you change so that it doesn't happen on your next attempt, but goes to immediate partition, which should not take longer than 30 seconds or so. -
My apple iPhone 3GS has been reset , it had been on the black background with he white apple for a long time , please can someone tell me how I can speed this up ?

Lion download to iMac has been running for about 2 hours and is still not halfway yet. How long should it take? should I cancel and start again?1500Kbs is 1.5Mbs. That is Kilo bits per second. There are 8 bits to a byte so if you divide 1500 (or 1,500,000) by 8 you get 187500 bytes a second. Divide 3.5GBs (3,500,000,000), that capitol B is for Bytes, by that 187500 you get 18666.666 seconds. Which needs to be divided by 60 to get the minutes and then again by 60 to get the hours.
5.1851xxx hours.
I use to have a 3Mbs DSL connection and it took me over 3 hours to download Lion. Now that I have a 19Mbs Cable connection it take about an hour to download and install.
So wait it will happen eventually. If you cancel and start again your are still going to wait 5+ hours. -

Restored in iTunes hooked it back up to my tv, input all my settings, wifi, apple id, and netflix. and did not do anything else, came back in and the light was blinking steady on the apple tv again and stuck on the Apple logo. Restored in itunes again and hooked back up, just hooked up my wifi settings and manually rebooted. Same thing got stuck on the apple logo. What to do?

When I go to the local paper's from Elmira,NY and some other sites I get a drop down banner at the top of the page that tell me Firefox has prevented this page from reloading,but when I go to the allow button that you put on the right side of the banner and click on it the banner goes away and then it comes right back. It will come back every time you click allow until I click on the x box. So I want to know why is the allow button there if it does nothing?
Click the Firefox button, go to Options | Options | Advanced and in the General tab, remove the checkmark from "'''Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page'''".
You won't get that dropdown banner anymore afterwards. -
Often when I click a link within a web page, a message bar appears at the top of the page saying "Firefox has blocked this site from loading another page" or something similar. This happens frequently on banking or credit card sites. This is particularly annoying because it seems to disturb the operation of the link when I have to click the "Allow" box on the message bar. I would prefer to create a whitelist for this feature so it would not interrupt my banking operations. Failing that, I would like to know how to toggle the feature on and off. Failing that, I would like to know how to defeat the function.
See:
*Firefox > Options/Preferences > Advanced > General : Accessibility : [ ] "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"
The setting in "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.

I am trying to download a song and it gets to about 3.5mb and stops, then starts all over again. It has done this several times. Could the file be corrupt?
Turn off the Firewall in System Preferences > Security (or Securtiy & Privacy) > Firewall
If you have anti virus software installed, you may need to disable that before downloading.
Restart your Mac and try again. -
When I try to open a site I normally access i'm getting a bar that says,Firefox has blocked this site from opening another window then on the right side of the bar gives option to allow or not. Never did that before. Thanks
Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you. -
