Firefox and Adobe problems after Flash update last night
OK, this is a non-Apple question, but I haven't found any solution yet.
Everyone knows that to run the "Adobe Acrobat NPAPI Plug-in, Version 10.1.3" in Firefox, you had to open in 32-bit mode. I did and that plug-in, plus the "Adobe Acrobat Create PDF 1.2" extension worked just fine running Firefox 12. Tonight I got notification that I needed to update Adobe Flash Player. I did (quitting and restarting Firefox after the installation).
THEN up popped a warning - Firefox suggesting that I disable the NPAPI plug-in and finding out here that Firefox was disabling the plug-in. So I disabled it, restarted, etc. Then I found that the Create PDF plug-in would crash if I tried to save a web page as PDF within Firefox.
Is there any way to go BACK to the older Flash plug-in? That seems to be at the root of my problem. I can use PDF Browser plug-in in Firefox to display PDF files but what I really need is the Create PDF extension back (it's strangely absent from Safari - at least I've not been able to find it).
Any help out there?
Thanks,

Create PDF or save as PDF?
Pete
Pete,
I can always use the PDF creator "Save as Adobe PDF" that is available from the Print menu and added by Acrobat Pro X, but it does not always save the hyperlinks correctly, etc., where the Adobe Create PDF does a fantastic job... I'd just like to have it back. It does not show up in the Safari extensions/add-ons for some reason.
Thanks for getting back so quickly!
Clinton
Then you may well have to go to the Mozilla Forums on this one. As I say, I steer clear of Firefox because of all it's bulky extentions.
Good Luck

Before I updated my iPad to ios7, I had the Nationwide Mobile Banking app. Once the update was completed, the app would not open properly. On advice I deleted the app, and now, when I try to reinstall it from iTunes app store, I get this 'no results found for natiowide mobile banking'. Why is this happening??
Are you sure your AppleID is NOT tied to the US store? If you are trying to buy an app from the Swedish store you will be unable to do that. Some apps are only available on certain stores. That is why you get the "Cannot connect to the iTunes store" message when trying to buy that app. Your updates are being done from the US store ; thats why you can update sometimes and sometimes not.
If you keep encountering problems contact iTunes support. They will help you sort it out. -
My Foxfire quit working (error 404) so I uninstalled it and now when I try to reinstall it, my computer wont let it download. Now what?
Hi woodspirit-
There are many places that offer Firefox for download, but not all of them are trustworthy. I would recommend getting the latest version here:
[http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/ http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/]
Hopefully that will help. -
I was notified of an HP update last night. After the update completed, Itunes/MS media player/You-Tube....applications are unable to play. Checked Installed programs and the only update listed was one for IDT drivers. How can I roll back to the previous version?
This question was solved.
View Solution.I had the same issue, after reading several other posts with the same issue, I restored to before Oct 29th. Now my sound works just fine and my games that were also going hinky started to work as well.
It would be nice if HP fixed this issue before sending up another update. It is very annoying to have undo what they did so my computer works correctly. -
Difficulty after installing update last night
Received our imac last Monday. Installed update last night. Internet is ridiculously slow now. Help?
Steve, thanks for your suggestions. In the future I will do so. My husband called Apple yesterday afternoon, where the problem was stumping everyone as the update did not have anything to do with Safari. Went to a higher level programmer, they had my husband remove and reinstall Safari. When I got home, I tried the internet on our old mini-laptop. Still horrible speed, but shouldn't have been affected by the iMac update. Called our ISP and there appears to be a problem with our modem or connection. Too many wireless items on our modem appears to be an issue! Anyone have suggestions on a modem which can handle about 7 wireless items (2 x ps3, 2 x ds, 2 computers and a wii)?
So happy that it was just a coincidence that the problem cropped up after the update. Being a 1 week iMac user had us concerned we'd ruined it! -
I have had Lion for a 2, 3 months on the iMac 27 inch purchased last October (2011). Last night I chose to update the system, and deselected iMoves update because it was 1GB, and chose only 4 updates, including iTunes, Safari (i think)... But the update says error, and ask to restart the system (it won't restart itself, so I waited 30 minutes, and then pressed the Power button for 10 seconds, to let it power down, and press Power again to power it up).
However, after that, the system failed to boot up, showing a
panic(cpu 0 caller .....)" "Unable to finder driver for this platform: \"ACPI\". ... xnu-1699.26.8/iokit/Kernel/IOPlatformExpert.cpp:1504
This is not typical of the upgrade process. So I searched the Internet forIOPlatformExpert.cpp:1504 and some people said it is a hard drive error, but then I powered down and pressed Options when booting up, and was able to boot to Windows 7 (bootcamp)... and was able to boot to the "Recovery", which let me choose

what should I do now to fix it so that it can boot again?This error is caused by one of the updates you applied, namely the Thunderbolt Software Update 1.2. Many people have been affected by it, including me. I did what Linc Davis has suggested above to fix it. The most extensive discussion about the problem, with ways to fix the problem, is here:

The entire program becomes unresponsive and I cannot get into any of the tabs. It will not allow me to close any of the tabs either.
Delete the files [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder]
Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
Set the pref [http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes] to 0 on the about:config page to get the about:sessionrestore page immediately with the first restart after a crash has occurred or the Task Manager was used to close Firefox.
That will allow you to deselect the tab(s) that you do not want to reopen, but will allow to reopen the other tabs.

My rue la la app for ipad stopped working. I deleted the app and tried to reinstall it, it is no longer available in the app store and when I research it on safari and find it when i try to install it says that it is not available in the us store. What is that all about?
My app did the exact same thing. It is still unavailable on the App Store and when Rue La La's site directs you to download their app, the "not available in the U.S. message appears. This happened to me last night. The app wasn't working, I deleted it and was just going to reinstall but was unable to find the app. I figured it was some glitch but I have tried multiple times this afternoon to no avail.

I have had to open a new account, however, there were App updates that did not get installed before I opened the new account. Therefore, when I try to do the updates, it's is asking for the sign-in and password for the old account, which I do not have this information.
All apps are tied to the Apple ID they are purchased with and is not transferable.
Delete these apps and download them with the new Apple ID. -
This happened yesterday pretty soon after I'd done my weekly computer restart, and updated a bunch of add ons recommended by Firefox. I've tried numerous times to restart with no success. (I put at the end the error message). I try to follow the suggestion to reinstall and get the message it can't do so because "libsmime3.dylib is busy" I search for libsmime3.dylib but can't find it.

I have even totally uninstalled firefox, and that has not fixed this. I still get the same message that firefox is running and I need to close it or restart (which I have also tried dozens of times). I have removed things like Java, and that has not helped either. If I cannot even get on line in firefox, how can I fix this. I am not crazy about using internet explorer, but right now, it is my only option. I even tried to start in safe mode, and the same message box pops up!

I removed and reinstalled Mozilla and I still get this message. I am assuming that when I deleted the folder that had the bookmarks, something got screwed up in the program. I don't understand why completely deleting the program, downloading it again, and reinstalling it, does not resolve the problem? Also , I want to know how to do this properly, so that I can have my Favorites on the new computer.
Sounds like a "hang at exit" problem. There are several possible causes for that error. See:
* How to stop the running Firefox process
** In Task Manager, does firefox.exe show in the '''<u>Processes</u>''' tab?
** See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Kill_application
* What may cause Firefox to hang at exit
** http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+hangs (see "Hang at exit" section)
** http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_hangs
** https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+is+already+running+but+is+not+responding
* You may need to try Firefox Safe Mode
** You may need to use '''Safe Mode''' to locate the problem: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode
**Firefox Safe Mode is a diagnostic mode that disables Extensions and some other features of Firefox. If you are using a theme, switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes '''<u>before</u>''' starting Safe Mode. When entering Safe Mode, do not check any items on the entry window, just click "Continue in Safe Mode". Test to see if the problem you are experiencing is corrected.
** If the problem does not occur in Safe-mode then disable all of your Extensions and Plug-ins and then try to find which is causing it by enabling '''<u>one at a time</u>''' until the problem reappears. '''<u>You MUST close and restart Firefox after EACH change</u>''' via File > Restart Firefox (on Mac: Firefox > Quit). You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window.

I was haven't problems so I uninstalled Firefox, then wanted to reinstall. Went to your download site, went through the process, when it finished, it gave me a corrupt file message. I then went to the English (US) link, same thing. Then the English (British), again same thing. Wondering where I can get a non corrupt copy.
Only download Firefox from Mozilla:
*https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/
*http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
If you are having a problem getting a "good" download
*Do not use a download manager when downloading; the download provided with IE is OK
*Your system security settings might be set too high or your AV/AS application might be interfering. See:
