Firefox and Twitter and Finder does not display

I have recently upgraded to Lion recently. The Transition was way rougher compare to the Snow Leopards.
I am running a MBP 15", 2009 Mid-2009 version.
It has 2 graphic cards on board, 9400m and 9600GT.
When I first launched Lion, I was quite shock that my Firefox and Twitter do not display at all.
After tweaking the system preferences, I realized that when the 9400m graphic card is activated, there isn't any display on several of the Applications,
including the popular ones like Finder, Twitter and Firefox. The issues are fix when I switch to my 9600GT graphic card.
Do any of you have the same issues that I am facing?
I do hope Apple resolves these issues quickly.
As using my 9600GT graphic translate to very bad battery life and a very warm laptop! I am not happy at paying $29.99 for something that breaks.

Hey kennychan,
I've had the same problem. I've done a clean re-install on a reformatted drive and the problem was gone. If you can do a clean reinstall I recommend you give it a shot.
Best wishes,
Dmitry

    I purchased a movie via Itunes and it does not display as a purchased item on my Apple TV yet A TV show I bought does. The only way I can view it is if I turn on home sharing and the movie is downloaded to my PC. Is this normal?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Perfectly normal, purchased items only applies to TV shows, the studios have not licensed movies for redownloading.

  • HT4157 I have an iPad 2 and it does not display the cellular data button under settings

    I have an iPad 2 and it does not display the cellular data button under settings.  It does display a Bluetooth button in its place. I have tried the reset but no luck

    Is the iPad the Cellular version? Does it have an active Data plan? Does it have a Sim card installed in inside it?

  • Trackpad Scrolling and 'Find' does not work

    I'm loving it so far on my Work IBM T43 / Windows XP. I always wished for this to come out and now here it is. I can't say though that it isn't without any issues such as the ones mentioned above [Trackpad Scrolling and 'Find' does not work]. I'm still playing around with but so far so good. Anyone else coming up with these issues?
    Specifically I have to manually select 'Find' from the drop down File Menu under Edit and then once it has been activated, I can use 'Cntl + F' but then once I click on Done, nothing happens. I once again have to use it from the drop down. It's not a major thing but definitely a peave.

    I'm on an IBM T60 on XP Professional and trackpad scrolling doesn't work
    I hope this problem will be solve soon.

  • Finder does not display icon for word / excel in list view

    Hi,
    I got a new macbook air, with Yosemite pre installed. I copied over all my files (from my old macbook using a USB drive) and next I installed MS office for mac.
    For some reason Finder does not display the correct excel of word icon in list view (I set preview thumbnail to NO in view options), but it it displays the generic file icon.
    It appears to be very random, as some files do display the icon and others do not. It also appears to have nothing to do with the doc/docx xls/xlsx variations.
    Also some of my parallels icons do not display correctly in list view.
    When I open a INFO panel, it does show the correct icon. Example below:
    Any body know how to reset / fix this ?

    Still got no solution...
    There has to be some one that knows about this ..?
    Any professionals reading this that can point in some direction for a solution?

  • I uploaded a new font and it does not display in firefox

    I have a website that uses a font that is not a standard "Microsoft" font - I uploaded the font to my computer and it displays just fine in Word and Open Office, but my website does not display it. How do I get FireFox to read the font file I just uploaded? I made certain that it IS available in the Windows\Fonts directory.

    Well, browsers only display "system fonts" unless, in Html 5 you establish the CSS @font to use other fonts.
    But, you are sounding like you are not doing that. When you design a webpage on YOUR PC *your* systems fonts will show properly ON YOUR PC because they are *your system* fonts that the browser can find... on *your* machine only.
    BUT, all other PCs/Macs/etc. probably do not have your font installed on their machines and the browser on their machines cannot find the named font, so it substitutes best guesses at it from the normally available generally available system fonts. So, when you create a webpage on *your* machine you WILL see what you are creating because THAT font is available to the browser... but only on YOUR machine.
    **** Only Solution **** is to use Html-5 @fonts CSS definitions BUT that too is tricky but works. Otherwise you get standard system fonts whether *your* machine displays properly or not.
    Hope this helps

  • Upgraded to 2.0.2 and Safari does not display iphone webpages

    Hi All,
    are you having the same problem? After upgrading to 2.0.2 Safari does not display for iphone formatted webpages in the right format anymore! Any idea what to do to overcome this situation (besides waiting for the next update?)
    Best Regards

    I am not seeing the problem at all.
    All the iPhone specific web pages I have tried work fine.
    Try a reset.

  • Installed Microsoft updates yesterday & today I click on Firefox and it does not load. If I go to download a new Firefox, it tells me to close existing Firefox before the download. I can't see Firefox open anywhere.

    Firefox will not load and I cannot download a new Firefox because it says I have to close the existing one. I cannot find the existing one open anywhere. Also, when I went to download I got a warning that the new Firefox might damage my computer.

    The procedures in the [[Firefox will not start]] article may help, in particular it sounds like this error [[Firefox is already running but is not responding]]

  • JFileChooser file filter and view does not display Drive letters

    This code displays only files that end in abc.xml, and directories. For example, "helloabc.xml" and directory "world" will display as hello and world, respectively.
    However, I am surprised to find that the drive letters are not displayed at all. eg. C:
    any insights?

  • Start Firefox and homepage is not displayed; cannot navigate back to previously viewed pages using back or forward arrows; bookmarks toolbar not available on start-up though selected in options menu.

    1. Start firefox and my homepage is not displayed--there is no webpage displayed on initial startup. A homepage is listed in the options menu. In order to see homepage I need to manually press the home icon to the right of the search box.
    2. I am not capable of using the navigation arrows to the left of the address bar to navigate to previously viewed webpages. The arrows are present but are gray. Is there a setting in the security tab of the options menu that disables the navigation arrows for security purposes (i.e. not remembering webpages or cookies, etc.)?
    3. Though the bookmark toolbar is selected in the options menu, the bookmarks toolbar is not visible when starting firefox. Instead there is a red firefox toolbar located at the upper left of the screen. In order to view the bookmarks toolbar I need to go into the options menu and de-select the bookmarks toolbar (causes the red firefox toolbar to disappear) and then re-select the bookmarks toolbar.
    Any information to help correct these issues is greatly appreciated.
    Mike

    ''framerotblues'' suggestion worked for me. I was having the following problems after 10.0 update:
    >No back/forward buttons.
    >Nothing in address bar.
    >Bookmark toolbar would not automatically load. Even though it was checked as a toolbar to view, I had to uncheck and check it again every time I closed/opened Firefox.
    >Could not access add-ons. Neither through menu toolbar nor using ctrl-shift-a
    Restarted Firefox with add-ons disabled (help->restart with add-ons disabled). Removed ''Facebook Disconnect'' from add-ons. Restarted and everything seems to be working.

  • Spotlight and Find does not work in 10.4.7 and Macbook Pro

    I have this strange problem of the Find and the Spotlight not working properly. Whenever I pass on a word to search it doesnot give me the full list. e.g In desktop I have file UserValidator.java and in the Find window I give options: Name Contains "Validator". The list that it is showing is not having the .java file.
    I am getting crazy what is happening. Has anybody faced with this problem.
    Thanks,
    Tanmoy

    Perhaps it's an Invisible item?
    In Find, select Other
    It opens a 'search attribute' window, in that scroll to and select 'Visibility' (4th from bottom)
    Check 'Add to Favorites' then OK
    Then select 'Visibility' and on the right button 'Visible or Invisible'
    Search for your file

  • Bridge Cache Destination Cannot be Changed from Old User and Find does not Work

    Often administrators find themselves in a position of making a new admin account to resolve a lost system drive or some compatibility problem.
    If Bridge has a cache destination linked to this old account, it is due to the older admin account being deleted before the new admin account is setup in Bridge with the cache destination properly linked to the new user cache in the library locations for bridge caches.  This problem causes some headaches with things like keywords and find.
    If you have had to restore your system or generate a "new user" account, it would be important to go into Bridge and ensure that your cache preference in pointing at the right location, before deleting the "old user".  If the "old user" is deleted, you might find the cache location locked to this "old user" in a file structure that no longer exists.  This makes if fixed and unchangeable.
    If you encounter this problem, regenerate the old user name as an administrator account.  Go into that account and start Bridge.  Check the location of the cache file in the preferences.  You will see that it is located in the proper place for this new account.  It is also the same location as your current account which no doubt you have found is frozen into place.
    At this point, while in the "old user" admin account:
    Go get info on your "old user"/Library/Caches/Adobe/Bridge CS3/Cache
    Note the folder nest and go to each folder and apply permissions to each of these folders that allow your "new user" read and write access.  You can do this in one step by applying the permissions to the Library folder and all enclosed folders, but who knows what that might do.  Focus on solving the problem.
    Then:
    Switch back to your "new user" (that is your current user) account, open Bridge, go to the preference for cache and you will note, magically, it is now located in the right account, it has been unfrozen from the "old user", once deleted, and now brought back to life to help you get ride of this problem.
    For good measure, press the choose button, you will find you go to the finder to the right location in your "new user"/current user account.
    You will also find that FIND works after this and also Bridge is zippy and fast as it should be.
    You can now quit Bridge, Log Out of your "new user" account, log back in and find that all is just the way it should be.  Once this is done, go into your system preferences for users and delete the "old user" account (into the trash, do not save a thread).
    It seems that there are many situations where reviving and old user id will help with repairs to permissions problems in a mac that has been through system drive failure or significant application conflicts that require making a new user.
    Hope this helps someone.

  • Finder does not display my external drives as devices

    When connecting my Kindle 2 to my imac (Lion), the kindle does not come up in Finder as an external device.  However, I know it's there because when I pull up Disk Utility, there it is as a 3.24 GB Kindle Internal Storage Device. 
    As a matter of fact, none of my external drives show...I have a MyBook and anothers external hard drive connected for backups (all show in DU as well). 
    I checked Preferences in Finder and Hard Disks and External Disks are both checked to "Show these items on sidebar" but do not display.
    What am I missing here?
    Thanks,

    Go to Finder "Go" menu hold the option key and choose Library. Then go to Preferences trash these files:
    com.apple.finder.plist
    com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
    Then, restart, or log out and in again.
    (You will have to reset a few finder prefs the way you like them.)
