I tried opening my facebook account but nothing helped....I am able to open other websites....and my friends are able to view their facebook account on my laptop....but i dont know whenever i try opening my account, firefox crashes in between

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.

When I click on an Icon on my desktop to take me to a site (such as google) I get a message that it could not find the loaction. Then it goes ahead and opens a Firefox window with the site anyway as if the message never happened.

When I click on an Icon on my desktop to take me to a site (such as Google) I get a message that it could not find the location. Then it goes ahead and opens a Firefox window with the site anyway as if the message never happened. Then when I close the window I see that the message is still there. I have to close it separately. Any suggestions? Oh, and this only happens if Firefox is NOT already active. If I have another Firefox window open when I click on the Icon, it just opens as expected. This message appears no matter which site Icon I select. It did not happen before I upgraded to ver 9.0.

Hello BassoonPlayer,
Since you are using one of the the school's Macbooks, it is quite possible that the time and date are not properly set on the computer that you are using. FaceTime will not work if you do not have the proper time zone set up for the location that you are in. This past week, there were a two other Macbook users I've helped by simply telling them to set the Date/Time properly. By the way, you described your problem very well, which makes it easier for us to help you. Hope this solves your problem -- if not, post back and I can suggest other remedies.

I changed from IE to Firefox. When I click on a shortcut in an email, I get the message "an error occurred in sending the command to the application" in Outlook. It doesn't stop Firefox opening and going to the site, but is annoying.

Hi,
Have you tried working through this document - it does apply to Elements as well.
Sign in, activation, or connection errors | CS5.5 and later
If you still have problems you may need to contact the Adobe activation team - see the "Still need help?" link at the end of the document.
Good luck

Suddenly when I try and log in to the store I enter Apple ID and password and it just says "Unknown Error". If I try again it locks the account and I have to reset the password. Then the same thing happens again. Help!

How do I Uninstall Adobe PSE9? All I get is an error message, "Error 1316. The specified account already exists". Then the Unistaller rolls back and the program just sits there, partially uninstalled and unusable.

I have upgraded to PSE13 and want to unistall PSE9. When I try to do this all I get is an error message, "Error 1316. The specified account already exists". Then the uninstaller rolls back and I am left with a partially uninstalled version that is unusable. I tried to reinstall the software from the original PSE9 disk but all it tries to do is uninstall the version already on my computer, and this then does the same thing as noted above. How do I completely uninstall PSE9?

You will need an external drive that is formatted as MAC OS EXTENDED (journaled).
Move the Project, Events, and any photos and music to the external drive by following the instructions in this post.
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4141
Be sure to use CONSOLIDATE MEDIA to get the photos and music. Then plug this drive into your computer and you will be able to edit.

How do I burn a CD so that when someone else imports it....

Here's the deal. I'm part of a band that is trying to burn many copies of our CD, but the problem comes in when someone else tries to import it. Every thing looks A-OK when I personally burn it, but when someone else tries to import it, it comes up with two wieard artists, one being Iggie Pop, and all the song names are our of wack also. This is a huge problem, because our fans don't want to spend their time changing all of our track names, so is there any way that I may edit my tracks so that it will correctly be imported each time?

In older versions, this worked:
a) Go to "Edit" at the top, then click "Preferences".
b) Click the tab that says "Advanced", then click the tab that says "Burning".
c) Check the box that says "Include CD Text", click "Ok", and you're done...

When someone messages you from their iPhone or iPad, you receive the message to your iPhone (or iPad) but you don't know whether it is from their iPhone or iPad because all your iPhone sees is one contact. That needs to be updated.

When someone messages you from their iPhone or iPad you receive the message to your iPhone or iPad but you don't know whether it is from their iPhone or their iPad. That needs to be updated.

Why does it matter?
It's the person who sent the message that is important, not which particular device they used to send it, surely?
When someone calls you from their home landland, is it necessary to know whether they're calling you from the phone in the kitchen, or the one in the bedroom?

After updating my firefox it crashes , it works for while but then when i try to open a new page it goes blank and i end up restarting my computer and everything works a little while but then the same thing happens , i don't kno how to fix it i need help.

For instance I'll be on youtube.com watching videos but after a while. When i click on a different video it stops working, kind of like when I'm not connected anymore, but I'm still connected.
After i restart or shut down then turn back on things work again for awhile. It doesn't seem like it's a specific website because it doesn't matter and after I restart the website works just fine for a while till it happens again.

Please see the following articles [[Firefox Hangs]] and [[Firefox Crashes]]

HT1386 my ipad is not syncing my music correctly from my itunes account via my laptop. The music does not appear, although it shows when you look into summary as grayed out .

I carried out a recent software update and there after that my itunes music would not sync in the normal way. My music only shows on my ipad when connected and in music summary and this is shown as grayed out with a broken circle icon beside any new music which has been inported to my itunes account via my laptop. In the past when i connected my ipad to my laptop to sync it would ask if i wanted to transfer from ipad or not. This does not happen now at it goes straight into sync mode.

Hi,
This sounds so frustrating. If any processing of sound, e.g. through Logic, through Wiretap, or you might try Garageband (which I assume you have tucked away somewhere), produces the problem, then its hard to blame the software of the individual program. This leaves OSX and/or Coreaudio, or a hardware problem. Sorry if you've already reached this stage. This would mean a reinstall of OSX (or an upgrade, if you're thinking of it), or addressing the hardware issue. I know I had some very bizarre things (and repetitive) happen to me with faulty memory, or memory that just wasn't seated properly in its slot. You could start out by running the hardware test and go from there.
Good Luck,
Ray
