Firefox and DownloadHelper: Getting some video let screen go all black!
Sometimes when I use Firefox 3.5.6 with DownloadHelper to get some Youtube flash vids, the screen of my MBP (or iMac as well) goes black and the only thing I see is my mouse pointer.
Then I try to go on sleep mode but when it doesn't work i have to quit my macs and get a fresh start.
What happened?
Both programs are third party. Contact their developers. There may be a conflict with the combination of their software. Do you really need DownloadHelper?

I cannot view some videos and participate in some websites since Adobe upgraded all to Flash 11.7. I have an older Mac G5 PowerPC (no Intel chip) running OS 10.5.8. I keep getting splash screens saying I have to update to Flash 11.7 but 11.7 is made for those Macs with an Intel chip. I am running the newest Flash for my system. It seems all concerned should have made Flash retro-compatible for those of us with older Macs. Is there a work around to this Flash requirement short of buying a new Mac with the Intel chip?
I'll bet you'll have better luck if you post your question in the Power Mac discussions here: https://discussions.apple.com/community/desktop_computers/power_mac
Either that, or one of the forums at Adobe.
Good luck.

i have the latest version of free Quicktime, Itunes and unable to view video on my PC all i get is a pink screen the audio is OK i have uninstalled and installed several times same problem, i have a Iphone 4 and unable to view the content.
Open your QuickTime control panel (either via the Control panels, or by going "Edit > Preferences > QuickTime Preferences" in the Quicktime Player). In the Advanced tab, uncheck Enable Direct3D video acceleration:
... and click OK. Quit and restart the QuickTime Player prior to checking to see if the settings change has had any effect. -
iPad (3rd Gen) which I purchased 3 week back in Bangalore. From last one week it's screen jumbles up at times and also getting some burning smell out of it. Any idea what could be wrong?
These are the some of instances of screen jumbling I faced
1) all the app icons stacked up on top left corner. I could move them anywhere on the screen but could not start the app. Later killed all apps and starting iPad rectified it.
2) starting any app was giving blank screen, restart rectified it
3) home screen and lock screen both merged up. I could see both of them together whenever I swiped on the screen. Again restart rectified it.
Can I get replacement of this piece, I believe there is some serious hardware issues in it.
RakeshHanded over iPad to support group named "imagine"in Bangalore Saturday evening. There is no direct support available from Apple in India. Know what.. These "imagine" guys are highly incopetent..
When I checked the status in evening, their reply was that there is no issue with iPad, even though burning smell was still threre if I keep the nose close to iPad, but during working for 4-5 hours it starts building up.
When I asked how did they tested it, reply was that they kept playing games on my iPad and they didn't find any issue.. Rediculous answer..
They even didn't bother to open up the piece or running test of full CPU/RAM and Graphics utilization. Now asking me to take it back to wait for either complete breakdown or burndown, no matter where I am.. Airport, hospital, client meeting..
I use my iPad mostly for client presentations, I don't want to be in a situation that the display again jumbles up during a demo session giving impression that the problem is with our application..
I wish I wouldn't have invested in this device through BYOD program.. -
I have tried uninstalling & installing firefox and it still won't let me open any websites. I have used firefox for a long time and it has worked great. I did recently install Office 360, but firefox worked after it was installed. Any ideas?
Which version of Firefox are you using ?
Firefox has implemented a new, faster way of loading webpages in Version 33. This new feature is called [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Platform/GFX/OffMainThreadCompositing OMTC]. If you are experiencing black or blank webpages when you start Firefox or on some sites, you should update Firefox. Mozilla has released an updated version that fixes the problem.
If you are in Firefox and can see your menus, you can [[update Firefox to the latest version|update Firefox from the Help menu]]:
*Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''About Firefox''.
If you can't use the Firefox menus, you can go to [https://www.mozilla.org www.mozilla.org] using Internet Explorer or another browser to download and install the latest version.
See [[Firefox shows a black screen or blank screen after updating to 33]] for more information.
Please let us know if this solves the problem.
Thank you! -

If it's showing the connect to iTunes screen then you will need to do that.
But Apple don't provide any method to update the first gen iPad to iOS 5 (nor do they support downgrading the iOS version). -
had to replace motherboard, before i didn't have to scroll over to sign in to my account. Just updated firefox and it seems wider than my screen tried adjusting the size of the web page but that didn't really work all that well, open for suggestions please.
This issue can be caused by the Babylon Toolbar extension
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

I upgraded to 9.01 of Firefox and now get an error 'MORZCRT19.dll" --
If you use ZoneAlarm Extreme Security then disable Virtualization and reinstall Firefox.

I have iPad air, screen freezes after FaceTime call and cannot get back to home screen, have to power down and turn back on to get back to home screen. What am I doing wrong?
Hi RWD2,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
To resolve your issue with Facetime freezing when you end a call, I would try the first three steps in the article below.
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3281
Resolution
If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
If you are using Wi-Fi, it may be helpful to try these troubleshooting steps as well:
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398?viewlocale=en_US
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Note: This will reset all network settings including previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
iOS and OS X: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points

I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!

Suddenly the apps I downloaded won't work. The screen "blinks" for a second as if the app is loading, and then returns to the home screen. All the apps that came with the iPod seem to be working fine. How to get them all working again?
First try a hard reset. To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
If still no luck, try downloading another free app from the App Store.
More troubleshooting here.

Lastly, try to restore the iPod from a previous backup or restoring it to factory settings.

for itunes 11: movie that are not purchased via itunes are now loaded into and catagorized as "home videos". I want all of my movies in one spot under Movies as they always were. How can i tweak/resolve this?
Cdaver wrote:
I have this issue too and want the same result, another feed suggests selecting the movie, going to get info, and changing this under options, but I suppose you have to do that movie by movie.
You can select all the movies you want and change them at once.
