Firefox 4 and 5 open quickly on my mac with snow lepard but then does not respond for at least 1 minute? after that it runs great. I have tried opening in safe mode and also turned of automatic updates. Same results.

I recently installed Adobe CS 5.5 suite

Hi,
/Users/sarahschadek/Desktop/Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari
Move the Safari app from the Desktop to the Applications folder.
Restart your Mac.
That's why you see this:
When I try to do the updates my computer says it has ready it goes through like it is downloading them then at the end it says some of the files could not be saved to "/" files.
After your restart your Mac, click the Apple  menu (top left in your screen) then click:  Software Update ...

  • Open/Save File Dialog Box comes up, then does not respond for a long time or not at all

    I will click a link for a download and the box will pop up saying
    "You have chosen to open "blahblah.blah.blah
    Which is a: blah file
    From: www.randomsite.com
    What should Firefox do with this file?
    Open with
    Save File"
    At this point other than being able to see the box, it is as though it doesn't exist. I can't click okay or cancel or choose what to do. Sometimes after a few minutes it will suddenly work, other times it will just remain until Firefox closes.

    You can also try to clean install the new version after deleting the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder Profile Folder] as well as the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installation_directory Installation Folder.] Please see [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Backing%20up%20your%20information?s=backup&r=1&e=sph&as=s this] for backing up important info. The '''places.sqlite''' file stores the bookmarks and history, the '''key3.db''' + '''siqnons.sqlite''' files are needed to successfully restore the saved passwords etc.

  • Mail opens but then does not respond-please help

    yesterday, i opened mail and it would appear to do nothing for about 15 seconds, then lock up with the beach ball. this is the first time i have had problems with mail ever. i tried restarting twice to no avail. would appreciate any ideas for resolve. thanks.

    Verify/repair your disk (not just permissions), as described here:
    The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
    Now, go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network > Show: Network Port Configurations, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet is at the top of the list.
    Finally, try launching Mail under the following conditions (you may need to force quit it first if it's running):
    1. Holding the Shift key down until the main window appears.
    2. With no Internet connection.
    Post back with your observations.

  • I cann't turn the zoom of in my iphone. It does not respond for three fingers tapping. and it hard to chose the icons and options because of this problem

    i cann't turn the zoom off in my iphone. It does not respond for three fingers tapping.
    and it is hard to chose the icons and options because of this problem
    what can i do.

    Hi osh17,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  You can turn off Accessibility features using a computer as well.  That may be easier to do if Zoom is causing difficulty in using your device:

    A PowerPC Mac, if that's what it is, won't be able to see an Intel Mac's formatted data.  Also ExFat formatting is not supported by 10.6.3 or earlier.  I would try viewing the backup on another Intel Mac with at least 10.6.4.  If it isn't there, then the backup never really took place.  I much profer a hard drive with Carbon Copy Cloner.

    I had the same problem.  Kept getting message of waiting for activation or check network connections.  I also tried every solution out there and nothing worked.  This did though:  I download the newest version of itunes (through Internet Explorer - Google Chrome wouldn't work).  It pulled in my entire library thank goodness and then I plugged my iphone 4s into the computer.  I let itunes find it, did a complete backup in icloud, then did a restore.  Entire process took a couple of hours, but I now have imessage and facetime back.  I was about ready to give up on Apple and go get a different phone ~

  • I have an apple ID which I use to sign into icloud for my iPad and iPhone.But when I use the same ID for setting up iCloud on my Macbook it says INCORRECT ID or password, try again. I tried changing my passwords but it does not work for the macbook.

    I have an apple ID which I use to sign into icloud for my iPad and iPhone.But when I use the same ID for setting up iCloud on my Macbook it says INCORRECT ID or password, try again. I tried changing my passwords several times but it does not work for the macbook.

    You will have to provide the correct password to delete the existing account, if you have tried but are not getting the password reset email, contact Apple for assistance by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click More Products and Services>Apple ID>Other Apple ID Topics>Lost or forgotten Apple ID password.

    I had this same problem and started a thread, but for the most part nobody responded and those who did somehow didn't understand what the problem was.
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11504935#11504935
    I'm sure the problem is sweat getting into the apple supplied headphone "remote." Basically even the smallest drop can slide down the wire and get into the unit.
    Unfortunately I haven't found a solution other than to get a Belkin remote adapter and some sport headphones. This doesn't give you voice over, but you can still control the volume, skip, etc.
    I've been doing this for a couple weeks now and it hasn't had a freak out since.

  • Firefox has decided to open in safe mode - what do i do now?

    Firefox closed unexpectedly several times. This has happened at times before so it was not out of the ordinary. Now it says it has started in safe mode (my computer is not in safe mode). I noticed that MultiFox is not listed in the "File" drop down. Multifox and what looks like the rest of my add-ons are listed in "add-ons". The notice for safe mode asked if I wanted to remove add-ons, bookmarks, and 3 or 4 other things. I don't have a clue what to do. Any suggestions?

    Good news and bad news - I found Firefox in Start - But it only has one option - Safe Mode (see image).
    Its properties are:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -safe-mode
    The Icons I was using to launch Firefox when I got the Safe Mode Warnings were both Not - Safe Mode (I am assuming):
    http://us.mg4.mail.yahoo.com/dc/launch?.gx=1&.rand=e0din885tvjnd and
    http://us.mg4.mail.yahoo.com/dc/launch?.gx=1&.rand=7huhfvcor33vt
    I opened Firefox with the Start> Mozilla Firefox> Safe Mode and it looks no different than the regular Firefox.
    Checked Prog Files x86 - Mozilla. Found Firefox.exe but no Safe Mode. Is it missing or hidden in one of the folders?
    I also just now got a Security Warning on a Word doc that Macros and ActiveX have been disabled in this doc. Never had that before - don't have a clue about that either. May not be connected to Firefox but quite a coincidence they happened at the same time.
    How do I tell if Firefox is opening in Safe Mode?
    Where do I find the Safe Mode Icon in Progs.
    Do I have to reinstall Firefox to get the regular Firefox back into the start menu?
    Thanks for the help.

  • Firefox takes 6 minutes to load and then does not respond so what should I do?

    After starting Firefox on my Mac (10.8) it takes 5 to 6 minutes to appear. A minute or so later the "Bookmarks and History system will not be functional because one of the files is being used by another application" message appears and Firefox either does not respond or responds very slowly to various mouse clicks and such. For example, I wanted to disable all plug ins and when I clicked on Tools and Addins it took three minutes for the tab to open and after 20 minutes still nothing had appeared on the tab. I've tried restarting Firefox, restarting the Mac, resetting Firefox to the default settings, starting Firefox in safe mode, renaming the places.sqlite file, uninstalling Firefox and reinstalling from a fresh download, performing a complete uninstall and reinstall in which I remove the Firefox folder from the Application Support folder after uninstalling, and relocating the plugins folder. I've tried just about everything in every Firefox support article that there is and nothing works. Any suggestions would be very helpful.Thanks.

  • I have an apple trackpad that shows that it is connected to Bluetooth but it does not respond. I have tried restarting the computer and turning the trackpad off and on but it will not work. Anyone have any ideas on what is going on here?

    I have an Apple Trackpad that shows that it is connected with Bluetooth but it is not responding. I've tried restarting the computer, disconnecting and reconnecting and also turning the trackpad on and off but it simply does not respond. Does anyone have any idea on what is going on here?

    There are reports of similar behavour but generally it is due to battery connections.   Is the indicator light working steadily or does it blink or even not function.   Here is the Apple document dealing with some of the problems.
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1544/en_US/Magic_Trackpad_UG.pdf
    Is your machine within the guarantee period or under Apple care.   If so, return it to any apple retailer for examination and possible replacement.
