Firefox after 30 seconds lands me at Mac OS X Server

Logging into a Vessel Management Site (paid) it normally loads in 5sec, after last FF update it will not load after 30 seconds and takes me to Mac OS X Server.

If you have this model of G4 1.67 Powerbook:
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/powerbookg4/stats/powerbook_g4_1.67_15hr.html
Then 10.4.0 Server won't install. There will be drivers missing.
If your supplied restore disks are bad, then you need to get those replaced.
Simply don't use the Mighty Mouse during the install, there's no need.
When installing a stock 10.4 server overtop a system that comes with a newer OS, even if it's just 10.4.1, Apple has a very specific set of procedures you must follow
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302960
The target-mode hint won't work for installing Mac OS X client (vs. Server) because your powerbook is a G4 and the Mini is Intel-based.
And there is no Universal Mac OS X client installer yet.
If your Server install is the 10.4.7 Universal Binary version, then it should be new enough to install onto your Powerbook, although it is not supported hardware. In which case you might be able to use the Target-mode tip suggested. It may or may not work.
Probably the only legal way for you to do this is to uninstall OS X Server from your mini first. You'll have to check with Apple on that one.
At the very least, if you are only using it on one machine then in spirit if not in letter, you might be fine.

Help -Getting 404ErrorPage Message after loading second web site to .mac?

I've had an iweb (family) website working fine on .mac for several months. Yesterday, I built a second website and published it. At that time, I was asked to sign up since I had been doing the trial which had expired. I signed up.
Now, two things are happening. When I go to the family website, I'm getting a 404ErrorPage message. I can assess my second site OK. Also, I am not provide the option to publish to .mac for either site (it's grayed out). I know I am in active status with my .mac account. Any thoughts?

Its really up to you which way you want to do it, remember to give them different names and make back ups.
Having them both in one iWeb session is fine, although I personally dont trust myself not to delete something from the wrong one without realizing it!
If you only update one site occassionally, then you might find that you want separate domain files, that way you would only see the one that you are working with. To have multiple domains the are different options.
1. Create a second user on your Mac and run two seperate sessions of iWeb.
2. Use Domains Juggler from Cyclosaurus, a search on the forum should find it for you.
3. Swap out your domain files as and when you want to work on them, remember which is which!
To BACK UP your current domain file you can use this script from Cyclosaurus.
If you choose to use a second domain file, the easiest way to split out your sites, whichever route you take, is to make a copy of you domain.sites file. By the way this file lives here:
User / Library / Application Support / iWeb / domain.sites (You dont normally see the .sites extension)
You now have two copies, open one and delete the site that you dont want in this domain files, then save it.
Swap it out for your copy domain file and once again delete the site you dont want.
Good luck & dont forget to Back up your files before playing around with them!

Not able to install mac os x server 10.5.4

Hello,
I've inherited a MAC g5 from a previous sys admin.
it had a number of issues so i decided to do a clean install.
i've set in my os x 10.5.4 server and rebooted that didn't work. when i chose the dvd it just hanged there.
so i installed a mac pro (came with the g5 ) as i've read in an online how to that described my exact problem. once done i tried installing the server again and same issue happened.
now i have mac pro on my g5.
after research it seems that my mac os x server 10.5.4 has another version which is older than the G5. so it cannot be installed.
i tried using a targeted mode though came into another set of trouble:
1. tried booting from the dvd using a macbook pro with a fire wire plugged into it.
result: macbook kept restarting when i chose the mac os x server
2. tried booting from dvd using an imac.
result: after choosing the dvd it hangs a bit and then boots normally from hardidisk.
3. picked an old IMAC and booted from it
result: it worked, and i installed the mac os x server on one of the HDD in my g5
once done, i've shut down both, unplugged firewire and then booted the G5
a grey screen appeared with another hdd in the middle of the screen and it just stayed there.
Can someone please advise how can i proceed?
PS: i've contacted the apple reseller, though as our support contract ended they couldn't help.

The retail disks I've seen in that era were usually black in color. The non-retail disks tended to be gray in color. IIRC, the part number for the 10.5.4 Mac OS X Server Leopard Server retail disk is MB605Z/A.
If it's not a retail disk, then the contents are usually tailored for a specific Mac box.
The MacBook Pro would have to be a fairly old model to boot 10.5.4; [here are the Mac Intel minimum OS version requirements (HT1159)|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1159], and (though there were no MBP PPC boxes AFAIK) [here are the PPC version requirements (HT2191)|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2191].
The "issues" that precipitated this reinstallation sequence could well be a disk or processor or memory or other hardware problem with the server, too.

Firefox v15 and up cause my computer (MAC OSX 10.8.2) to freeze for about 30 seconds every 15-30 seconds and forces me to turn it off with the power button

Firefox v15 and up cause my computer (MAC OSX 10.8.2) to freeze for about 30 seconds every 15-30 seconds and forces me to turn it off with the power button. It only causes this after I have opened Firefox, my computer runs fine before opening Firefox. I have uninstalled Firefox and cleared my personal settings. I have installed future updates (16 and 17) and have run into the same issue. I cannot pull any information on RAM or CPU usage because when it happens it makes my computer unusable. Unfortunately I need to use FF for work and can't. I have tried the different responses on the forums to reduce the amount of RAM and CPU usage with no change in performance.

Start your '''Computer''' in safe mode. Then start Firefox. Try '''Safe''' web sites.

Firefox crashes 2 seconds after startup. This happened after repair upgrade to Windows 7

After repair upgrade Firefox (9.0) would not work. I finally un-installed and re-installed it without success. Following your support guidelines I tried deleting my profile with partial success in that with a new profile Firefox would run once then revert back to an apparent crash after 2 seconds (as seen from task manager). After every new profile created it followed this same routine of working just the once. Any help would be appreciated.

Try a "clean reinstall" of Firefox by removing the Mozilla Firefox installation directory before reinstalling it, as explained in these articles:
*[[Basic Troubleshooting]] - see the "Reinstall Firefox" section [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Basic%20Troubleshooting#w_7-reinstall-firefox here].
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Clean_reinstall (MozillaZine's KB article is currently unavailable)
If Firefox still crashes after a clean reinstall, try the suggestions in the [[Firefox crashes]] article [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox%20crashes here] and, if possible, post a crash Report ID, as explained at the end of that article.

Numbers does not open with the main user after installing mountain lion. It works flawlessly when I use the second account on my mac. What got corrupted in the admin-account, something in the user-library? How can I fix it? I´m kinda desperate...

Numbers does not open with the main user after installing mountain lion. It works flawlessly when I use the second account on my mac. What got corrupted in the admin-account, something in the user-library? How can I fix it? I´m kinda desperate... (the same happens with the other iWork-Apps!)
Looking forward to hearing from somebody with a littlemore expertise than me, Chris

you can remove preferences files by navigating to the Preferences folder for your user as follows:
0) Quit ALL iWork apps (Keynote, Pages and Numbers)
1) from the Finder select the menu item "Go > Go To Folder…". This will bring up a dialog:
2) enter the path "~/Library/Preferences" (no double quotes)
3) find the files:
com.apple.iWork.Keynote.plist
com.apple.iWork.Numbers.plist
com.apple.iWork.Pages.plist
and move these to the trash. I would NOT empty until later.
4) restart Numbers

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

Yesterday i installed the firefox 6.0 on my windows 7 computer. When i double-click the mozilla icon, it doesn't start.

Landing page/splash screen auto redirect after x seconds

Hi Guys!
I'd like to create a landing page or splash screen which autodirects the user to the main index of the site after x seconds, with some kind of javascript or other HTML snippet code (I'm not capable of and I do not want any Flash).
Thanks for your information!
Lexis.

Bonjour
Redirect code:
<script type="text/javascript">
var url ='../../pagename.html';
var delay = 4;
var d = delay * 1000;window.setTimeout ('parent.location.replace(url)', d);
</script>
Replace ../../pagename.html by the path or the URL of your page,
and change thenumber of sec. (4 is the number of sec. here).

I was unable to access the laptop last night to create a new user; however my client would perfer not to try a second account since that would make it unusable for him while we test the second profile.
Also John Sophos was installed after this started to verify that it was not a virus/malware (I know pointless step but it has happened to me before) so I don't think that is the problem

Mac mini shuts down after 10 seconds..

At first today, the CDs and discs kept automatically ejecting and wouldn't read (obviously). So I keep putting them back in hoping it would read or hold something. Then I restarted and the Mac Mini shuts down after 10 seconds of the seeing the desktop. Did I fry it? I did hear a weird sizzling when I put my hand on top of the mini. And is this under any warranty - I bought it Feb. 07? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Any thoughts on that?
One or two come to mind, not least that if the unit is under warranty now (as it clearly is) and they aren't taking this fault seriously, then buying AppleCare so it remains under warranty longer isn't the right solution - having them examine it and resolve the problem is.
There's no doubt at all that in the event there is a system with a suspected fault, extending the warranty long enough that the system ceases to function and can be repaired is a good thing, but it shouldn't be necessary to go to that extreme in order to get a problem resolved now!
I would simply take this elsewhere and have it looked at. While odd noises are sometimes hard to hear in an environment where there are people and other activities going on, and thus it is reasonable to expect diagnosis of them to prove difficult, a system that shuts down of its own accord after a few seconds is clearly not working correctly. To be sure, if it is overheating, then testing it when it's cold is likely to miss the problem, but the description of the fault from the user ought to give enough clues to put the system on test long enough to see what happens when it warms up. If the fault can't then be replicated with a system that is at normal running temperature and under load, then giving it a clean bill of health is reasonable.
Thus, in your place I would ask them if they did, in fact, test it in that way. Alternatively, write a description of the fault, specifically identifying the premature shutdowns and the circumstances in which they happen (if they still do) and the noises and the circumstances in which they occur (if they still do) and take the system and description to an approved service provider and let them look at it.
If the shutdowns are no longer occurring, and the noise is absent, then whether you buy AppleCare or not is really a matter of how confident you are that the problem has gone. If you have doubts that the system is running correctly, AppleCare is expensive but at least extends the warranty sufficiently that you can stop worrying too much. Alternatively, if the problem(s) still persist, rather than AppleCare, have the system examined and repaired right now.

Flash video freezes after 4 seconds in Firefox every single time

Everytime I play a flash video on firefox it freezes for about 2 seconds after 4 seconds, this may sound like a minor irk but it becomes very annoying. I've tried re-installing multiple times and I'm on the latest version but nothing seems to work. Also tried turning off protected mode and disabling hardware accelaration- still no dice. It's smooth and fine after 4 seconds but it always freezes, I have no idea why- I've also had multiple issues with flash on Chrome which is which I switched browser. It appears it doesn't work on either on of them properly. Windows 8.1 if that helps.
Thanks in advance

Why Firefox stucks 40 seconds after 2 minutes after I started it?

Hi, everytime I turn on my PC and I start Firefox, after 2 minutes Firefox is stuck about 40 seconds and my hard drive is reading something, this happens too if Firefox is closed and reopened after a hour or so.
Where is the source of this problem?

Nobody knows?
