My IPHONE 4 toggle button does not respond sporadically. What's the fix when this happens?

My IPHONE 4 toggle button does not respond sporadically. What's the fix when this happens?

This is the official troubleshooting doc that covers that issue:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
The relevant steps are:
The Home button is slow to respond
If the Home button is slow to respond when exiting one application, try another application.
If the issue exists only in certain applications, try removing and reinstalling those applications. For further assistance in installing and troubleshooting applications see this article
If the issue continues, Try turning iPhone off and then on again. If the iPhone will not restart, try resetting it.
If the issue is still happening, try to restore the iPhone
Seek service is the issue is still occurring.

Why can't I open a window from the dock when Firefox is running?

When I start Firefox, all is well. However, when I close the first window, the Menu Bar items (FILE, EDIT etc. disappear. The word Firefox is still visible as are all the other Mac icons on the right end of the bar.
Clicking on the Firefox icon on the dock while Firefox is running does not open a new window whether in Firefox or in Finder, but clicking on a HTML icon on the desktop will open a new window and go to the site.
The Menu items may or may not appear, but the drop down menus are still active.
I just looks like the Menu headings (FILE EDIT etc) are invisible. I reiterate that Firefox is open and still active (the name is at the left end of the Menu Bar).
I have reinstalled the most recent version of Firefox. Running 10.7.5 Firefox 26.
It is irritating to have to Quit and re-open Firefox every time a want a new window after closing the previous.

Try to remove the Firefox plist file (org.mozilla.firefox.plist).
*http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20060606082246983 How .plist files become corrupt and troubleshooting the results
Go to "~/Library/Preferences" and remove the plist file for Firefox (org.mozilla.firefox.plist)

Firefox 4.1 does NOT ask me if I want to update when I have that item checked, and will NOT tell me what the update version is so I can decide whether or not I want it.

Firefox 4.0.1 on Windows 7 Ultimate
With update settings as follows:
"Ask me what I want to do" is checked
Firefox, Add-ons, Search Engines checkboxes are all unchecked
If I choose "Check for Updates" from the Help menu, I am not told what the update is and am not given a choice about downloading it. It automatically downloads the update and then gives me an "Apply" button. As far as I can tell, there is no way to find out the version number for the update before downloading or installing it. A button that is labeled "Check for Updates" should do only that--CHECK, not download.
I want to know what the version information is for the update BEFORE anything is downloaded, so I can choose whether or not I want it. That's the way Firefox 3.x worked.
How can I restore the 3.x behavior regarding updates?

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Private+Browsing
To see all History and Cookie settings, choose:
*Firefox > Preferences > Privacy, choose the setting <b>Firefox will: Use custom settings for history</b>

Firefox does not become active from the Dock when I click on a email link

In OS 10.5, I can temporarily put the Firefox window off to the Dock by clicking on the yellow button in the upper left of the Firefox menu bar. In earlier versions of Firefox, the window would become active again if I clicked on a web link in an email address or document. Firefox 3.6.3 will open a tab for the web link, but stays inactive on the Dock. Why the change?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I upgraded to 3.6.3, I think

Thank you, thank you thank you. This has been driving me crazy forever. I have looked for answers online but never knew to write or that anyone would answer my post so never tried. Whoever you are may lots of good things happen for you because your good deed. Know good karma is coming your way. Just changed the firefox default setting in mailto in applications to my regular email. saves tons of time and much swearing.

When clicking on a lookup, firefor does not allow me to select from the list

When I use firefox, the website I am on has lookup fields located on it, firefox does not allow me to select my preferred option from the list. also when I slect another lookup from a list it displays the message 'invalid lookup value located in field ......'
This does not happen in IE

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

DHCP does not load as a service from the Server Admin

Dear friends,
I have faced the following problem.
The task is to do internet sharing among other services on mac mini server.
Started with the clean install of OS X Lion, upgraded it to Server and then installed all updates.
USB Ethernet (en2) is looking into ISP with static IP, Ethernet (en0) is LAN.
Since I need specific address scope for the LAN I have actived DHCP from the Server admin and configured it to provide
192.168.8.11 to 192.168.8.200 as an adress scope, mask 255.255.0.0 on the interface en0.
Everything was working just fine for a couple of minutes and the LAN clients got their IP addresses from the DHCP scope. In a very short time Server Admin popped up and error message:
Try to refresh the view (aserver.local./Server). (kReceivedUnknownError)
Niether grey nor green bubble apears near the DHCP on the service list.
I keep recieving this error for all other services until I manage to disable dhcp on the services tab of server settings. After all I cant make it run again. I tried to restart dhcp from the terminal but it does not help. "sudo serveradmin fullstatus dhcp shows nothing".
Do you have any ideas how to make it work?

So you're not using NAT between the two? Even though you're using 255.255.0.0 so both network can talk (basically you have a class B network setup using Class C ip addresses), your network masks for each should be something like 255.255.255.xxx depending on how many subnets you need. NAT or Network Address Translation should be running and that will provide the interconnectivity between the two.
Your DHCP server should be set up only with 255.255.255.0 for the DHCP service since you are only serving IP addresses to the one subnet 192.168.8.x. Your starting address in DHCP setup is 192.168.8.11 ending address 192.168.8.200 and the netmask should be 255.255.255.0.

HT1386 My Iphone has stopped importing new photos to my computer when I connect and does not show a photos option under the device when in itunes. I don't have any access to the photos except directly through the phone.

It seems after my latest upgrade that my phone has stopped importing new photos and vids when I link up to my computer. It always would ask me if I wanted to tag new photos and then would import to computer. Now it does not and when I am in Itunes the options under my device does not include photos so i can't even import them manually. Any ideas on what is up?

iTunes doesn't import photos from your device, in only syncs photos from your computer to your device.
You may need to adjust your autoplay settings as outlined here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1500 (except to enable digital camera notification, not disable it) in order to restore automatic prompts to import photos.

I use imovie to create videos. When I burn the video to DVD and play it back there is digital breakup in the playback from the DVD. The digital breakup does not show in playback on the computer. I understand there is a file I need to delete and reboot the computer and imovie will rebuild the file in the program. Help!

My method is to use the DAW in standard recording mode, and set up the camcorder entirely separately. After recording, I automate the audio mix with fader moves and effects, then export ("bounce to disk") a full-fidelity AIFF, 16-bit 48 kHz stereo file (most videos use 48, not 44.1). I use iMovie '11 to import the video from the camera, then import the stereo audio file and match it up to the camera audio by dragging it into the iMovie Project. Make the waveforms visible, it's not too hard to align.
Then, use iMovie's "Export as Quicktime" feature. Here, by going through the menus and options, you can control the audio compression (for example, 256k instead of 128, although 128 seems to be enough for YouTube).
AppleMan1958 posted a YouTube video about controlling iMovie's export options that may help:

Photosmart C4180 does not pick up 10x15 photopaper from the photo paper cassette

What can I do to get the printer to pick up 10x15 photo paper from the photo paper cassette? It wil only print when feeding one piece of photo paper at a time. This is tedious and annoying. No problems with ordinary paper.

Hello Mr. Wilks,
I am sorry to read about the issue you are having with your new Photosmart 6520 not picking up 4x6 paper. I understand you have cleaned the rollers and that did not resolve the problem. I have researched this and have found a couple of documents that I recommend you look at to ensure all of the print settings are correct when printing on a 4x6 or any other size you wish to print on.
I am unsure if you have a Windows or a Mac computer, therefore I will post 2 different links for you to look at depending on which operating system you have.
Here is the document for troubleshooting on Windows: Printing Photos Saved on Your Windows Computer
Here is the document for troubleshooting on a Mac: Print Photos Saved on Your Computer (Mac)
I really hope this helps you, feel free to respond if there is anything else I can help with!

Firefox 24.0 does not update any YouTube page for the download extensions. Video aivalable for download is the 1th opened in the tab and not the video playing.

On YouTube, when more than one video have been played, staying on the same page, videos aivalable for download, by any Firefox Download Extension as Downloader Helper, Flash Video Downloader or 1 Click Video Download, are the format options for the first video opened in the tab, and not format options for the video actually playing.
I have tried resetting Firefox ( Firefox menu : ? \ Troubleshooting Information \ Reset Firefox), and reinstall Videos Downloaders (without Adblock Plus that I normally use), it did not solve the problem.
Temporary Solution :
Refreshing the http://www.youtube.com/... page ( by hitting the round arrow at the right of the adress bar ) allows me to update the download features but it is annoying as it restarts the playback every time I decide to download a video ( so is it having to remember to refresh the page ).
I am surprised it seems no one have experience and solved this problem yet.

What hardware are you on? Flash is always a finicky beast, especially on older hardware. This is not an entirely uncommon problem. Try looking at this [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|support article]] and see if that helps.

I have to re-install adobe flash for firefox every time i start my computer even if firefox shows that my adobe flash is working it does not.I also get notices from the websites i visit (get flash e.t.c.)

i have the latest firefox 10.02 in win7 and even if firefox shows is installed my adobe flash is not working so i have to run the flash installer every time i start my pc.After this everything works fine until the next start when i have to run the flashinstaller again

There are two versions of the Flash Player plugin. One is ActiveX and only works in IE. It sounds like you have that one installed. The other one works in all other browsers.
What seems to be happening is that you have security software that's blocking one of those versions of Flash/restoring your computer state and so it gets uninstalled when you start your computer. The other possibility is that there are permission issues. Unfortunately, this isn't something that Firefox can control; it's a problem with the Flash installation (Firefox is dumb and just looks in the registry for a list of installed plugins to load).
Make sure that you're an admin on your computer when you try to install Flash and that you check your security settings. If that doesn't work, try posting to the [http://forums.adobe.com/community/flashplayer Adobe community forums] to see if other people have had similar issues and know how to address them.

My imovie does not respond to my command from the drop down menu to import movies. What should I do?

I tried to import movies to my imovie, but when I select that option, nothing happens. I asked it to check for updates and it says that one is available, but when it sends me to the system updater thing, that thing tells me that I don't have any updates available at this time. ***?
Thanks

The movie you are trying to import may not be compatible with iMovie, open the movie in Quicktime and check it's properties in the movie inspector.
