Firefox doesn't always come up and when I do get on to my email it is slow and when I type it is delayed or slow. Help please.

When I click on firefox icon sometimes it never comes up or I have to wait a long time. When I try to type an email it's very slow. It's delayed. It's like it doesn't keep up with my typing. It's frustrating and slow. Can you help?

You can try this but I'm not sure if it will work http://m.wikihow.com/Temporarily-Remove-a-Key-from-a-Macbook
ALso found this video on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kh88cn_rtLo
The keyboard, trackpad and top case are an integral unit, you'll probably have to replace the top case https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/MacBook+Core+2+Duo+Upper+Case+Replacement/515

  • HT3180 When trying to play itunes and slideshows from my Mac book to Apple TV the small icon on the bottom right of the screen which switches between Computer and Apple TV doesn't always show up, and therefore the function doesn't work.  What's up?

    We are trying to play playlists and a slideshow from an Apple Macbook wirelessly to the Apple TV.  The small, upward arrow icon that appears on the bottom right of the screen (which allows you to pick Computer or Apple TV) doesn't always show up, and therefore, we can't get it to work.  Any thoughts?

    Airplay mirroring software will not work with anything below Mountain Lion 10.8 and an Apple computer from 2011 or newer.

    Go to "About this Mac" and tell us:
    1. What OS X version you are running
    And then click on "More Info" and tell us
    1. What year is your Macbook.
    Also tell us a little about your cable and Wireless setup.
    Maybe we can help.

  • Re: HDR5010KB Digital Recorder - signal doesn't always come through using HDMI

    Hi,
    I bought the above product in October. Since then I've had an intermittent problem. When switching to the AV channel on my TV, (a Panasonic TX-P42S20B) the signal doesn't always come through when using the HDMI channel (I also have it connected via a scart, and that always works so seems to be an HDMI problem.) It's particularly apparent when the recorder has been used for a while (either for recording or playback.) It's not overheating (or if it is, not to the degree I'm getting a warning message), and turning the power off at the mains seems to rectify the issue, but it's a pain.
    I've tried switching the hdmi lead, as well as trying different AV channels on my TV and it hasn't helped. Is this a common problem or do I have a faulty unit?
    Any suggestions would be appreciated

    no, everything else works fine. I've tried swapping cables & hdmi sockets on the TV with no luck. One thing I have noticed, the recorder also works as a hdmi hub (there's 2 additional inputs). Switching the output to one of the other hdmi's, waiting, then switching the outputback to the recorder usually resolves the problem. it's just a pain having to do it

  • When I type localhost in my urlbar firefox appends /xampp to it and gives a 404 I do not use xampp help please

    I use Apache2.2 with PHP not xampp, however firefox appends the /xampp to the urlbar when I type localhost, I can type the exact address in the urlbar and it works but this really bothers me.
    I used xampp at one time but found I did not like it, so I uninstalled it and reinstalled Apache and php from their respective zip files.
    This just started happening

    Hmmm, I still think it's most likely a redirect from the server. Is there an index.php that could contain a Location header?
    Can you use the Firebug add-on (Net tab), or an external proxy like Fiddler2, to view the request and response?

  • IMac keyboard doesn't always work properly and Magic Mouse battery drain

    Owned my iMac for a few months now. First off, my batterys only lasted 23 days, not 3 months like stated by Apple. I've use both Duracell and Energizer and both last less than a month. Secondly, my wireless keyboard doesn't always function properly. When I'm trying to type something out, I always end up having to go back and add something that the keyboard has missed..
    For example, I just tested my Cap Locks key. I pressed it 10 times normally as you would when typing and the green LED only lit for 3 of the 10.
    But when I press hard it works everytime
    Is this a common problem or have I been sent out a defective pack?
    Thanks

    It's a long shot, but is a non-standard input selected here:
     > System Preferences > Language & Text
    Try selecting 'British' and see if the problem persists. Also, if you click on the little nationality flag in the menubar at the top of the screen and choose 'Show Keyboard Viewer', what happens when you press the '3' key? Does it light up as expected?

  • Firefox doesn't accept some sites and IT'S FREEZING sometimes and you can't write anything or click anywhere...reaaly disaponting, I have to restart it and after a while same thing, I can't close any tab only by options close tab.

    Firefox doesn't accept some sites and IT'S FREEZING sometimes and you can't write anything or click anywhere...reaaly disaponting, I have to restart it and after a while same thing, I can't close any tab only by options close tab so you can't use Command Q or Command R for reloading...GRRRRRrrrr, hate this

    As I asked previously are you able to have tabs open as a window by using the right clicking option ?
    When you close Firefox you should use
    *'''Firefox button -> File -> Exit '''
    Are you doing that ?
    I suspect what may be happening is Firefox is hanging as it closes down.
    * see [[Firefox hangs or is not responding - How to fix#w_firefox-hangs-when-you-quit-it]]_firefox-hangs-when-you-quit-it
    * this explains how to check & if necessary kill the process [["Firefox is already running but is not responding" error message - How to fix it#w_end-firefox-processes]]_end-firefox-processes
    A related possible problem is that you may have built up many copies of the restore files. These are stored in the Firefox profile. The easiest method of finding the profile location istouse
    *use '''Firefox button -> Help -> Troubleshooting Information <br /> -> [Show Folder]'''
    *see [[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data]]
    You need to look for the files ''sessionstore.js'' and numbered duplicates of that. Delete them.

    Press and hold any of the apps on your iPad's homescreen and after a couple of seconds or so they should start to shake. Then press the 'x' in the top left corner to delete the ones that you don't want, and when you've finished deleting press the home button so as to stop the shaking. If you don't get the 'x' on any of the apps that you've downloaded then check that Settings > General > Restrictions > Deleting Apps isn't set 'off'.
    Note that deleting an app will delete all of its content as well

  • Spotlight/Finder Doesn't Search In ASP and other file types?

    .asp and .c file types are nothing more than .txt files with different extentions..
    Am I correct in thinking that Spotlight doesn't search inside these files? I have a folder full of asp files and spotlight doesn't seem to find anything when I type text that I know is inside one (as a test)
    It does appear to search INSIDE .html files in the same folder.. Can you add different file extentions that spotlight will search into?
    If not, then "Spotlight" is much ado about nothing as google desktop search, X1 and the msn desktop search (Windows) released years ago search inside ALL files..

    Spotlight makes a content index for files using mdimporter, and that process depends on mdimporter modules for the specific file type. Thus in /Library/Spotlight you will see a collection, such as Microsoft Office.mdimporter, of "extras" for special file types. There are also the built-in ones in /System/Library/Spotlight. If you installed Xcode/Developer Tools, there should be a SourceCode.mdimporter, which I imagine would index the asp and c files. If not, some people have modified it to also index php files, see this discussion:
    http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20050514182520714&query=spotlight%2 Bphp%2Bfiles
    at MacOSXHints. I think you could do something similar (at your own risk of course) for other pure text based files. Be sure to expand the the replies and read them.

    It's possible you've got a 'hot corner' set up. If you have and move the mouse to a certain corner of the screen it'll do as you describe. Have a look in System Preferences>Mission Control, bottom left of the window click on the 'Hot Corners' button and see if there is anything in there.
