Firefox gets hung up connecting. I'm on a Mac desktop using OS 10.5.8 and Mozilla 8/0.1. Yesterday opening web pages was just really slow. Now it doesn't even connect. Any idea what's wrong?

This is what came up on my Mac:. Hope it means more to you than it does to me. I know my internet connection works, because I still get email, and access the net (as I am right now) thru Safari.

I encountered the same type of problem. Firefox running terribly slowly and slowing down my entire machine (Core i5 with 256GB SSD). Searching the forums, I found a couple of things about troubleshooting performance issues, one of which was to use '''hardware acceleration''', that is on by default. It was turned on on my PC, '''so I tried deactivating it, and it worked!'''
So doing the exact opposite as Mozilla support said solved the problem. It is really a pain now to work with Firefox. I'm using it because I have no choice, but I'd recommend IE and Chrome over Firefox... Whatever, the market will decide once Firefox has become to crappy...

Continue to get this error on a site I use every day - "WebSpeed error from messenger process (6019) Msngr: the specified service name does not exist or has a bad format. (5825):" Any ideas what's wrong?

I've tried clearing the browser cache and restarting the computer, but nothing helps. No idea what's wrong. Any ideas?

You also could delete any saved cookies for that site:
While viewing a page on the site, right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
When I search this error message, I find threads indicating it is a problem on the web server, and there's not much a user can do to fix it. For example:
http://www.fixya.com/support/t2835936-webspeed_error_from_messenger_process
You could try to confirm that diagnosis by using a different browser or a different computer.
If it persists, you probably should complain to the site. Perhaps they are aware of some add-on conflict or other browser configuration issue that affects Firefox users specifically.
Edit: When I visit the site's root address, within about 5 seconds I get the error. But links I visit from Google results (site:hachik.com) work fine, e.g., http://www.hachik.com/about.html So there is something about the dynamic navigation that is broken.

If you've changed your password and it still shows disabled then try logging out of your account on the iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on it
If that doesn't fix it then you might need to contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

The upgrade I'm interested is for OS X v.10.8.5...
...The App Store page shows 2 different upgrades:
Mountain Lion (10.8.5) Software Upgrade, and
Yosemite FREE upgrade
If the App Store is showing 10.8.5 as an update, what do you currently have installed? The final update to Mountain Lion was 10.8.5, and since the basic OS installation of Mountain Lion is no longer offered in the App Store, that would suggest you're currently at an earlier version of Mountain Lion - 10.8.x where x=less than 5. If that's the case, I'd suggest getting the 10.8.5 update. There is also a Supplemental Update for 10.8.5 and that may be what the App Store is offering.

My buttons and screen work, but I can't activate the screen to see what I'm doing. Any idea what is wrong?

My buttons and screen work, but I can't activate the screen to see what I'm doing. This is after water damage. Any idea what is wrong? I'm not sure what to fix..
I know the screen works because when it first turned on I saw the apple logo and then the screen. If I hold the home and power button, I see the apple logo when it resets. Then it goes blank again.
I can hear when I get a call and pick up, and I can stop the sound and/or decline the call with the power button and side buttons. It also still vibrates. I'm confused - if the screen works, the buttons work, it vibrates, makes sound, and the touchscreen feature also works... what is wrong for me to fix? Why can't I see anything?!
I appreciate any help anybody has to offer!!!

I apologize for the confusion. This was literally the only option on Apple's "Contact Us" section that I was able to access. I assumed that Apple's clear intent to have me go here instead of speaking with someone in live time, and the fact this is on the Apple website, meant I could get some advice... Both over the phone and online they require information I need to see my screen to provide so those are not options. I tried to bypass this when calling through Skype. Some lady who didn't know what was going on, who I waited a good while to speak with, put me on hold; I gave up after 30minutes of waiting to speak to somebody again.
I've stumbled upon a few tricks to help me get through this problem, but I'm at a loss. I need this phone to work until late December. I need more tricks. So yes, it's worth understanding. Knowing what is going on will let me Google it and work with it, if nobody here is willing to help...
And yes, it IS a glitchy phone. It has been a glitchy phone for a long time. Long before this. But completely unrelated issues. I was assuming this wasn't just a glitch but something maybe somebody could help me understand.

For anyone else reading this thread, it is worth knowing that sometimes an email is, or can be, corrupted thereby jamming the works. The solution above is good, but I just wanted to suggest another one.
If the problem arises, go to an online mail access service, such as Mail2Web.com and login to you mail account there and delete the offending message.
Problem solved.
And George, as this is all entirely voluntary, whinging about no takers may not endear people to you. Besides which, a few minutes of searching on Google would have found you a number of solutions.

You just now installed 10.8.5? Did you purchase that at the app store?
What is the upgrade being offered?
FWIW, you are not running iOS on a Mac Pro (we are talking about the desktop tower Mac Pro, right?)

You may have to restore your phone to correct the problem.

After the recent iPhoto upgrade, I've completely lost access to the application and my photos and it says that its not supported on this version of Mac. Any idea whats gone wrong?

After a recent upgrade, I've completely lost iPhotos and all my pholto files.
It now comes up with 'You cant open the application iPhoto because it is not supported on this type of Mac'
Any ideas whats gone wrong?

Reinstall it:
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
*Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

I have a folder from today that won't let me change its name. I can change the other folders just fine. I do it routinely... any ideas what I screwed up?

I'm as a loss. I don't understand why today's folder "2014-06-06" won't let me add "_Kim" to the end. I do it will all my folders since I download from a couple of cameras.

sorry... in PS cc and I closed Photoshop, just in case.... it didn't make
any difference and it hasn't ever been an issue before.

Stuck how ? What is showing on the iPad's screen, and/or in iTunes on your computer ?
If the iPad won't start up then have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
