Firefox 4.0 takes about 60 seconds to start even after reinstalling.

Firefox 4.0 takes about 60 seconds to start. I have tried reinstalling with no change. It isn't antivirus software, as I turned that off and it was still slow. I run Vista Ultimate. Internet Explorer loads very quickly.

I wish my Firefox would load in 16 seconds!! It takes 3 to 4 mins to load but closes almost instantly.

Data Execution Prevention (DEP) has not allowed firefox to start, even after reinstalling firefox

Firefox will not start. Windows message tells me Data Execution Prevention (DEP)has prevented this program from starting. Help says: If DEP notices a program on your computer using memory incorrectly, it closes the program and notifies you.

Try updating your QuickTime to the most recent version. Does that clear up the DEP errors in iTunes?

Motion 4 won't start - even after reinstall

Yesterday, I discovered that Motion 4 wouldn't open or save files. The menu just wouldn't open. Save As didn't work either. I tried to delete the prefs files, but the result was that Motion didn't open at all when I tried to launch it. I then reinstalled Motion from the original DVD's, restarted - and the same problem is there: Motion won't open. The spinning wheel goes forever, and there is no indication that Motion is able to launch. - Any suggestions? I have the lates versions of MacOSX 10.6 6 and Motion (FCStudio), I have 12 Gbyte RAM and I am using the iMac 27 inch 2.8 GHz Intel Core i5.

Sorry if my explanation wasn't clear enough. I used the suggested FCS Remover software (see above) to remove the apps, I then repaired rights, restarted the Mac, installed the complete FCStudio from the DVD's, ran the Software Update, restarted the Mac, tried to start first FCP, then DVDStudioPro, then Compressor - with the same result: none of them would load properly. The spinning wheel turned forever.
Later created a new user account (with Admin rights) on the Mac, switched to that user and tried to start FCP. The same result: the app won't start.
I started the apps from within the Applications folder, not from the Doc.
I was able to talk with a tech guy at Apple Support today, and the only thing he could do was to send me a document with instructions about deleting prefs. I already did that, with no result.
I guess I need help from an experienced support person to go through my Mac and find the reason behind this sudden and strange behavior.

Itunes does not start even after reinstall

Hi Ituners,
I have a 64 bit windows 7 PC. Itunes recently crashed. When I tried to run it, my PC would freeze up and I would have to reboot it. I followed the directions from the apple forum on doing a complete unistall. When I went in to uninstall the individual programs, Quicktime was not on the list. ??? I removed the other programs and went through the itunes related folders. Found quicktime there and deleted the folder (as per the instructions) and rebooted the PC.
Reinstalled itunes and all related programs showed up, but itunes will not run. I hit shift/ctrl and clicked icon to start program in safe mode. Pop-up on screen says that I may continue or exit. When I hit continue, it closes. Nothing after that.
Any help here would be nice. Itunes has become a major thorn in my side, but I need it for my Apple tv.

Acrobat Pro for Mac won't start, even after restarting the machine. Any suggestions?

Hi Patrick,
Can you please mention the version of Adobe Acrobat that you are using and on what OS version. Also mention whether this problem has started recently and was running fine earlier or is it a fresh install and has never worked for you.
Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the product after you started facing this issue.

Slow startup & shut down on new iPod Touch 4G but it takes 40 seconds to start!!

Hello,
Just bought a new iPod Touch 4G (32GB) two weeks ago and from day 1 it takes forever to start up! Usually about 40 seconds to start up and 30 seconds to shut down. My son's 8GB starts up right away. I've been a longtime Apple customer, but bugs like this are annoying. Is this a reflection of that $150 million that Microsoft invested in Apple years ago?

I would get Applejack 1.5; just do a google for it. In stall it.
Restart holding down the Command(Apple) + s key; until you see white lettering on black background.
When you get to a prompt type the following: "applejack auto" no quotes; hit return and let it do its thing. If that doesn't fix it I would restart again Holding down the keys mentioned and type the following applejack AUTO and hit return.
Best free application I have ever used. First thing use when trouble shooting.
It will wipe out your desktop picture pref. only thing I have ever found that it does.

ITunes takes 20+ seconds to start playing!!!

Just "upgraded" to 8.1 on my PowerBook G4 (10.4.11). I use iTunes to listen to radio talk shows I recorded. Now when I select one press play it takes forever for it start playing! I get the spinning colored wheel and have to wait and wait every time I pause play...
AND during this waiting period I can't do anything else on the computer, everything freezes for 20 to 30 seconds.....

The delay to start playing long MP3's in iTunes appears to have been corrected....when starting to play only. If you pause and move the play location to a new location, then press play again there is still like a 20 to 30 second wait to start playing again. HOWEVER if you do NOT press the Pause button (and move the location icon to a new time/location) it appears you do not get this "start up delay"....
But I have discovered another problem. For the longest time I tried to figure out how to convert an MP3 to a Podcast. I STILL really don't understand what a "Podcast" is technically (a MP3 with another file to save location data?). I just wanted my iPod to remember my play location in the long four hour radio talk shows I record and listen to (so if I go listen to music and come back to my show I don't need to search for my location). Anyway, in my search I discovered the "Remember playback position" feature (do a Get Info on your MP3, click Options)! I had no idea I could add that to an MP3....anyway, in my quest to make a podcast I discovered the "feature" which pretty much does what I want. Great.
BUT I discovered something....say I start listening to a show on my iPod and I listen for 1 hour 10 minuets. I then pause, and connect my iPod to my computer. I then open iTunes and want continue listening to my show from the point I left off...so when I select the show in my iPod and press Play in iTunes it starts playing at 1:10....which it will do. But when I do this it takes like two minuets to start playing again! Apple, you guys aware of this issue? I discovered it the first time I uses the "Remember playback position" feature.
The "Remember playback position" is great, but please the very long delay to start playing again...

Audition takes two full seconds to start audio after trigger...

This just started happening today. I hit the space bar or the start transport control and it takes two seconds for the audio to fire. This occurs in multi-track view only.
What as caused this and how can I get AA to return to instant start in multi-track view?

Yes, I know of that but I've used real time reverb effects in AA before and never suffered such a resource hit as this.
Heck, I've got an E6600 Core Duo and 4GB of RAM (3.2GB under XP 32bit) so using one real time reverb effect shouldn't have been a problem even without freezing the track.
Admittedly, this was the first time I've used that particular effect in AA 3.0 so perhaps something's changed from 2.0.
Not to poke Adobe in the eye or anything but earlier I had used real time reverb in a Pro Tools session on two tracks along with a compressor on three, an Elastic Time enabled track plus additional effects on two of the session tracks as well as a MIDI track and never had a hiccup.
AA 3.0 continues to greatly disappoint.

Firefox crashes on start, even after complete reinstallation. No add-ons.

Every time I open FF, it completely freezes within 5 seconds. I've uninstalled & reinstalled, I've removed FF & all traces of its data using Revo uninstaller, then reinstalled, and still get the same results. I've seen where malware could cause this kind of problem, so I've run full scans with Microsoft Security Essentials, Malwarebytes, Microsoft Security Scanner, and Kaspersky Security scanner. They all came back clean.
I'd love to submit a crash report, but apparently these crashes aren't generating them. The only thing in AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Crash Reports is an InstallTime file, dated today (the date of my most recent reinstall). I also can't add any troubleshooting information, as FF crashes before I can add anything.
Here's exactly what happens: I launch FF, whish responsive for the first couple seconds. After that, it freezes completely, and eventually "(Not Responding)" is added to the title bar. A little bit later, Windows pops up, asking if I'd like to check for a solution. That's it.
Win 7 Pro, FF 18.0.2.

Hello bob287, can you start Firefox in [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode#os=win7&browser=fx18 Safe Mode] by holding down the shift key while starting Firefox ?
also, try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.
thank you

Firefox won't start even after disabling all plugins and reinstalling

Two days ago I updated my graphics card drivers (nvidia geforce) and it had some problems. I went into live chat support and after reinstalling some files it worked. Right after that Firefox wouldn't open, prompting me to restart or close. Hitting restart would take me the same place. It only opened in safe mode, where I deactivated the plugins related to the graphics card, and Firefox started normally.
Yesterday it didn't start again, even with those plugins deactivated. so I started in safe mode and deactivated all other plugins and it started. Today happened the same again but now I didn't have anything to deactivate so I could never start it. I unistalled and downloaded the installation file again and installed. The problem remained.
I went to the page Firefox crashes - Troubleshooting and filled in the crash report to mozilla crash reports page with the ID: 6cf4a525-9152-46f9-96f2-7ef282131023
The problem looks like it has something to do with the file mswsock.dll, but I'm affraid of deleting it.
Please help me.
Thank you,
Pedro

hello pedro, this crash is caused by the "Media Accelerator" part your nvidia graphics driver. please see if you can selectively disable it in the nvidia control panel or even uninstall it. otherwise please try [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL|updating your graphics driver]], or in case this doesn't solve the issue or there is no new version available at the moment, disable hardware acceleration in ''firefox > options > advanced > general''.

Firefox crashes a few seconds after opening except in safe mode - even after reinstall

I have backed up my profile, uninstalled and reinstalled. (But not restored any of my profile). But it is still crashing in the same way.

I think the initial problem might have been caused by IB Updater - IncrediBar
I have uninstalled this in the windows control panel and it no longer shows up in the add-ons list (in safe mode). I have also run Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, but this didn't find anything.
I am also running Avast Anti virus.
The trouble shoot information below if from running in safe mode as it doesn't stay open long enough in normal mode.
Any help greatly appreciated !

Thanks!! That worked a treat and I wouldn't of ever thought this was the problem :)
Really appreciate your quick reply.

Firefox opens but completely unresponsive even after reinstall

I'd been having problems with Firefox hanging. It didn't appear to have anything to do with any of my addones, as I continued having problems even after disabling them--first one at a time, then all of them. Now after updating to the new version, (thinking that might be the problem) it will open but then immediately hangs (I am unable to even try any of the "fixes"): Error mesasge in toolbar "Firefox is not respponding". I tried completlyuninstalling and reinstalling and that didn't work either. Now the first time I uninstalled and reinstalled I was given the option of deleting my presonal preferences as well, essentially reinstalling a factory fresh Firefox browser. I said no,. Well when the reinsiall didn't work, I tried uninstalling again but this time the option didn't even come up. I have also tried a systm restore without effect. In addition I have run a complete virus scan with AVG and I'm coming up clean. There are several odd things about this glitch: At some point an addon that synchonized my FF favorites with my other browsers erased the back ups on the other browsers (it isn't supposed to do that if shut off as far as I know or I would have chosen a different method). I can't locate my FF favorites in order to save the file (I really want to keep them). The favorites bar is still on the toolbar, so they do seem to be intact on FF, of course I can't access anything. I am completely flummoxed given that even uninstalling and reinstalling hasn't worked. I am not getting any other error messages other than that the browser is not responding. I am currently using Windows 7 on a gateway netbook. The only thing that might possibly have anything to do with this is that at some point some program changed my home page and search engine to Delta. I suspect it was Vuze, but I had selected no and aborted the installation. I still had to manually change them back to my personal defaults. Obviously that shouldn't have affected my browser in this way. The only two other programs I've installed within this time period were from Giveaway of the day and Games giveaway of the Day both reputable websites. None of the feedback from these two programs indicated anything about hijacked home/search engines from other users--who would most definitely be kicking up a fuss. So I have two basic issues: Fixing FF and saving my favorites from FF. Tried again, making sure that the AVG was off, and while it didn't hang the first second, it started hanging as soon as I opened a web page or the add on page. Also note that I cannot install the troubleshooter. I saved the program but it won't install or even apparently recognize that I have FF installed.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem.
