Firefox 4 will not close no matter how I try to do it. I have windows xp. What can I do?
I just installed version 4 yesterday and the problem began immediately.
Hi Tim,
Have a look at the article I linked to especially the section on [[firefox hangs#w_hang-at-exit|hangs at exit ]]and also to the article [[firefox is already running but is not responding]].
There are several possible causes of this sort of problem, and you could also have problems with restarting Firefox properly, or saving changes. Creating an additional [[profiles|profile]] may be useful, at least as a troubleshooting step, although you need to be careful if the profile is used more permanently, because it is easy to inadvertently delete the wrong profile information, and is not entirely straightforward if you need to try migrating profile information. If you do create a new profile I suggest you give it a simple name like trial1profile but then do not delete or rename that profile unless you are absolutely certain about what you are doing.
[profiles folders retain the name even if the profile is renamed, <br />and deleting a single profile may delete a whole set of folders/files destroying data possibly inadvertently]

I bought the ipad 2 about a month ago now and have tried to connect my wifi and it says I cannot join my wifi. Now I have two pop ups for downloads that will not allow me to open apps or shut the ipad off. What should I do?
Hi,
For all people struggling with connecting their iPad to their router, constantly getting 'Incorrect Password' even though you have entered the correct one - this may be your solution as it just resolved my issue.
In your router settings online (usually found at 198.168.1.1) change your security from WPA2 or WEP to WPA. For my iPad it for some reason only accepts WPA but now it is running without problems. Let me know if this helps.
Cheers. -
FaceTime will not connect no matter how I try to fix the situation.
After numerous attempts to resolve the problem FaceTime refuses to connect. Both the recipient and I are connected to WiFi networks that work fine, I have tried restarting my phone multiple times, disabling FaceTime and re-enabling it, restarting my router, and calling the recipient then attempting to enable FaceTime and all that occurs is it rings constanly until it shows a message saying it can not connect. Neither I nor the recipient receive any notification when the other is attempting to call. Any ideas what the problem is and any suggestions of how to fix it? Thanks.
Hi, I have the same problem here too.. any solution? Is it because I'm using mac for FT? I tried using FT between Ipad and Ipod touch and it was fine.

When you gte requests to locate iTunes.msi like this, the Microsoft Installer Cleanup utility usually fixes it.
Here is a method for removal, clean up and reinstall of iTunes.
== uninstall with cleanup ==
Download a fresh copy of iTunes and the stand alone version of Quicktime (the one without iTunes)
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Save the files on your PC.
Download and install Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, there are instructions on the page as well as the download. Note that what you download is the installer not the program – you have to run it to install the program. The installer doesn't give any message to confirm the installation.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
(To run the program – All Programs>>Windows Install)
Now use the following method to remove iTunes and its components:
XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Vista
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
*If you hit a problem with one of the uninstalls don't worry*, carry on with the deleting of files and folders as directed in the method.
When you get to deleting Quicktime files in the system32 folder as advised in the method, you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
Restart your PC.
Run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility. (Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up)
Remove any references you find to the programs you removed - strictly speaking you only need to worry about those programs where the uninstall failed.
If you don’t see an entry for one of the programs that did not uninstall, look out for blank entries or numeric entries that look like version numbers e.g. 7.x for Quicktime or 1.x for Bonjour.
restart your PC
Install the stand alone Quicktime and check that it works.
If it does, install iTunes.

Just yesterday I downloaded the newest update for iTunes, a few days before doing this I purchased music, but after doing the update my songs will not play. It shows a message that says this file cannot be located, what can I do to find the location?
The path C:\users\owner\appdata\local\apple\apple software update\bonjour64.msi cannot be found. verify that you have access to this location and try again or try to find the installation package "bonjour64.msi" in a folder from which you can install the product bonjour.
Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on 25 June 2010. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp. Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time? -

Does anyone know what this error code means?My itunes will not even open, no matter how many times i downlaod and restore it??? "The procedure entry point xmlITexTextReaderName could not be located in the dynamic link library libxml2.dlll." Please let me know if your know anything! It is greatly apprecitated!
Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. Head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post. (Although the procedure is for Vista and 7 and you've got XP, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things.)

Firefox 16 will not close in mac 10.6.8
I am using a MacBook (MacBook6,1)
Mac OS X v 10.6.8
Firefox 16.0.2
When I close or quit Firefox the windows will disappear however the program will continue.
I have to do a "Force Quit" to get it to completely shutdown.
This seams to happen more the longer Firefox is running or it the computer had gone to sleep and is woken up.Hello carl.johnson47, a problematic extension can cause same problem, which can be resolved by disabling or uninstalling the extension see: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-extensions-themes-to-fix-problems#os=mac&browser=fx17 Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]

thank you -
All websites work OK through Google Chrome so I am sure this is a Firefox issue. It was fine until yesterday and I have run AVG, Malware and CCleaner with no significant results. It's also a bit odd as Google Chrome doesn't seem to want to let me import my Bookmarks from Firefox either. Any ideas anyone ??
Hey, these are the instructions on how to try safe mode. Please post back with your results.
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
*In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
[[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 [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit 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 others with the same problem. -
Firefox browser will not close, even when using ctrl/alt/del
I downloaded the 4.0 beta firefox today, and have been using it most of the day with good success. Then I noticed when I closed the browser, the icon stayed active on my task bar. I clicked the icon and the browser reappeared on my screen. I tried several times to close it, the last time using ctrl/alt/del and task manager to cancel it. Nothing worked. I have a Dell Studio 1749 with Windows 7 , 64 bit, which may be the sorriest OS since Windows Millennium. Any help I can get would be greatly appreciated.
Michael Mayville -- [email protected]Isn't it {Shift+Ctrl+ESC} to open the Task Manager in Win7?? I know it was changed to that key combination in Vista.
As far as the problem with Firefox 4.0 not properly closing, see this: <br />

Itunes Will NOT Download No Matter How Many Times I Try.
Help!!! I've used Itunes for the past 5 years and its been fine. However now on my father's computer it says when I try to download it that the feature I'm trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Then below it says click ok to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'ITunes.msi' in the box below. I have no clue what to do. I need some serious help!

Each time I reboot my computer, Firefox 18 will be working in the background after I double click the icon. It does not show up in the task manager. If I double click the icon several times some minutes later, it will finally open up all the windows. The first window will say that an update was unsuccessfully loaded, and it will try again. When that fails, then I close that window and I am good until I reboot again.
I have already tried resetting to default. I also completely uninstalled it with all my personal settings and then reinstalled it.

Do I really have to get a different browser or is their an apple safari browser that I can down load. I also have an new apple book pro and it is fine but this older version is my home use computer.
If your Mac is an Intel CPU model then you can purchase a OS X 10.6.3 Snow Leopard upgrade disc from Apple for$20 and then update to OS X 10.6.8.
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
If your Mac is an older PowerPC style Mac, then OS X 10.5.8 is as high an OS as your Mac will go.
If your Mac is a much older PowerPC Mac, you could try TenFourFox which is more up to date web browser, based on Mozilla Firefox, for older PowerPC Macs run OS X 10.4 Tiger or OS X 10.5 Leopard.

If your Mac can be upgraded to Snow Leopard, then

I have tried to get a response from Apple concerning the " I must have the readable version of the Visual Voice Mail from Verizon" The I Phone 6 plus will not let the readable version of Visual Voice Mail from Verizon work on the phone.
Why what can be done to allow this to show on the IPhone6 plus screen. please someone solve this It should be so simple for the powers that built this phone. Simple but so important to the hard of hearing.This is a user-to-user support forum so you may want to submit feedback to Apple at https://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
Also, if Verizon is charging you for Premium Visual Voice Mail (which according to their website is currently the only one that offers voice to text) you should contact them for a refund as the "Check Device Compatibility" link at their http://www.verizonwireless.com/wcms/consumer/products/visual-voicemail.html shows that only 16 phones are supported and the iPhone is not one of them.
If you decide to switch phones, you may also want to consider that feature from Verizon only transcribes the first 45 seconds of a voicemail.
