Firefox Bogged Down, Tried many things with no luck
Firefox 32.0.3 very slow will not play certain videos or display certain graphs, images. Would appreciate some help please as I want a reliable machine. I am posting this on my backup machine.
Was running nightly. Uninstalled it using Revo Uninstaller Advanced when the slowness started.
Installed firefox as above with same problems.
Tried Reset, Tried basic profile with no add ons. Profile improved so that some use could be made but still slow.
e.g. www.finance.yahoo.com will not play videos from this site. Just freezes and eventually comes up with unresponsive script.
Similar on www.google.com/finance - unresponsive script when trying to display images.
www.speakeasy.net/speedtest will not display. (uses Java).
Installed Java 67 and uninstalled old versions.
IE11 runs these sites OK.
Updated Adobe Shockwave and test passed.
Updated Adobe Flash player.
Hitman Pro finds no threats.
Running Windows Security Essentials.
Win7 professional 64-bit SP1 genuine regular updates.
HP8100 desktop computer with Intel i5 [email protected]
4GB dual channel DDR@665MHz
HP304Ah motherboard, (XUI Processor)
Hard disk, 232GB with 13GB space.
Computer has 70 processes running.
Have another lower spec desktop running Win8.1 and a i3 laptop that both run these sites OK - one with Nightly and the other with Firefox.
When the system was working with Nightly the system did not bog down until I had over 30tabs open in Firefox. Nows its bogged down with only 2 tabs open.
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.

I am getting message Safari can not open page. Server stopped responding. I have tried several suggestions but they have not worked.
This is on an iPad, correct? Are you sure you have a network connection? Is your iPad Wifi or Wifi & 3G? I know these might seem like dumb questions, but we've got to narrow it down to get a solution. If you're absolutely positive you have an active network connection we can move on to other things.

I restart my computer and the AppStore still says I need to restart to install. I've tried many times with failure. I have restarted manually, through the appstore, and on the Apple Menu.
If your computer is looking for a server, it sounds like you might have a problem with your Internet connection.
Chrome is probably trying to warn because .exe files can contain viruses. Chances are, if you're connected to mozilla.com and have https: (a secure connection), you don't have to worry about getting software with viruses or other malware.
Is your account on your computer an administrator account? Are you able to install other programs without limitation? If not, you might not have administrative privileges, which will make it hard to install things. You can download things, that doesn't require admin privileges, but altering the computer's operation by changing programs requires such privileges. If you do have admin privileges, I don't know what could be causing your problem.
Don't know if I've helped you or not, hopefully someone else knows specifically to what you refer and can answer, if my suggestions didn't do anything to help -
I have itune on my first computer, but i cant download it for my other one, how can i do that, i tryed many time with the link it says you download it but nothing follows thank you
I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer? -
Not able to acess app store .. Tried every thing with ... Dns change .. Time chage.... Reset... Location services .suggest me how to resolve this issue
Hi aditya123,
If you are having difficulty connecting to the App store from your iPhone, you may want to try the steps in this article -
Can't connect to the iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368
Specifically -
Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.
It looks like you have already done many of these, but there are a few more to check out.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Hey you all, I have recently updated me iPhone 5 to iOS 7.1 and I checked my reminders built in app, and it seems like everything I had in there was lost. I have tried many things, but none seems to work. I can no longer add in any remainders.
Have you failed to regularly backup the device to iTunes or iCloud? If so, the data is gone.
If there are backups, restore the most current one from prior to the data disappearing. -

My iPhone 4S will not play music out loud. I can't turn sound up or down, it doesn't even give me the option. I think that it thinks its docked, I've tried to blow air in it, I've tried compressed air with no luck.
Clean iPhone charging port with clean dry toothbrush. See if fixed. If not, and if there is Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation and take to Apple for resolution. If no coverage, clean again, very well with toothbrush and small amount of Isopropyl Alcohol.

I lost my password on Mac (I cannot play youtube) and I tried many things...it doesn't work. Help please
Did you restore a backup after you restored to factory settings? If you restored a backup, you should try restoring as new, but if hope that support already told you this.
Have you tried using another WiFi networK? Do you have a computer running iTunes? If so, can you download apps or music on the computer? -
I created an apple ID account to my Iphone, but the system doesn´t send the verification link to my email adress. I tried many times with the buton "send verification email" but doesn´t work. My mailbox doesn´t receive any mail.
My account work correctly.
please I need help.
Thank you.It's a really bad idea to post your email addresess - it's an invitation to spam - and I've asked the Hosts to remove them.
This is a user-to-user forum and no-one on here can take any direct action. If your Yahoo address is not working that's something you would need to take up with Yahoo - have you checked it by sending yourself an email to it?
Otherwise you will need to contact Support: go to https://expresslane.apple.com/ and click on 'iTunes' in the center column and then 'iTunes Store' in the right-hand column and proceed from there. -
After the most recent FF update, FF 3.6.6 will not load, citing the error message: "XULRunner / Error: Platform version '1.9.2.3' is not compatible with minVersion>=1.9.2.6 / maxVersion". Tried updating XULRunner with no luck. Downloaded fresh copy and installed. Still no luck.

Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
You can skip the step to create a new profile, that is not necessary for this issue.

I am trying to update iTunes so that I can sync my new iPhone. I get a message Error 7 (Windows Error 127). I have uninstalled all Apple software and tried to reload with no luck. I have also cleaned my computer's registry with registry cleaning software. Even tried reloading operating system disk to fix errors. Any ideas?
Hello chathamcpa,
I found an article with steps you can take when you are getting Error 7 when opening iTunes. I recommend following the steps in this article:

Doublechecking. Have you also tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:
