Firefox goes into an endless loop with blue circular cursor at various times when trying to load a file.

Firefox hangs up at times when I try to download a file. The hangup is evidenced by the Windows 7 spinning blue cursor going into an endless loop. The only way out if it is with "ctrl/alt/del". Sometimes I can cancel, and Firefox will be normal again, and other times I have to go on into "Taskmaster" and stop the process.

Similar problem. An Email includes a URL, clicking on brings up a message including "click here" to link to an additional site.
This bring up either the Windows7 rotating cursor and/or the message "stopped".
I copied the "click here" address (another URL) and pasted it into the IE8 browser, which succeeded in displaying the information. It worked, to my surprise but it is clumsy. Do I have to remove Firefox (3.6.6) and use only IE8?
Another system on my home network, using XP Home SP2, and FF 3.6.4 works fine in the same circumstances

    Sharepoint 2013 webDAV PROPPATCH fails with status code 409 error every time, when trying to set custom property.
    anyone have any idea

    Hi
    Stumbled upon the resolution myself. The Bean Area item needs to be set to Visible=Yes in the property palette for the bean within Forms Builder, and also the implementation class also in the bean's properties must match exactly the package & class name specified in the PJC (my full implementation class string had to be set to oracle.forms.demos.runApplication).
    As this bean has no user interface component, and since the Visible property has to be set to Yes, to avoid having a random square shape for the bean sitting on the form's canvas, I also set the Width and Height properties for the bean to 0.001. This does show a very small dot on the form, but that will be acceptable.
    So in summary there has been a change for PJC / Bean Areas between 6i and 10g Forms, in 6i you could have the Bean Item to be set Visible=No, and the SET_CUSTOM_ PROPERTY built-in would work, however in 10g Forms the Bean Item must be set to Visible=Yes for the SET_CUSTOM_PROPERTY built-in to work.

  • Updates will not download anymore even though the computer meets all the requirements and it goes into and endless loop of connecting to the server, why?

    Firefox used to update automatically as it's set-up to do. Now it shows an update for security and asks to download it. Then it won't download it. The box shows a bar that continually shows that it's in motion and the message says that it's trying to connect to the server but it never does. I checked the system requirements for the download and it has the requirements. Your help information doesn't give an answer for this problem. I would need to talk to someone who can help. Is that at all possible? Thanks, chezo7

    You '''can not''' download version 8.0.x, the latest for your PPC MAC is the 3.6.24 version.
    Firefox 4 versions and later do not run on a PowerPC Mac. Firefox 4 and later require at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.
    http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/8.0/system-requirements/
    3.6.24 version you can download from here:
    http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    by the way a group of Mac users have created their own Community Build from the "Firefox 4+" versions.

  • Odd Endless Loop with Explorer 8 (pc)

    I have many of these tags on a site...
    <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;page2.php">
    It just goes into an endless loop but stays on the original page - never going to page2.php
    then i see that it seems to work with the absolute URL but not the local relative one...
    <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;http://domain.com/page2.php">'
    Q : before I change many of these - is there any other workaround to keep using the relative link instead?

    I found it - adding url= did the trick ---- url=page2.php

    My Macbook Pro will not boot up. I can hear the sound that it has started and then it goes into an infinite loop.

    What model MBP and which version of OS X? Sounds as if the hard drive may have failed. If you have an installation disc, try booting with it. If your machine came with Lion or Mountain Lion, try booting to the Recovery partition - Command and R keys held down while booting.

    this is a sample page -- i'm using jdk 1.4 trying to run javadoc Tracer.class or javadoc Tracer.java or javadoc Tracer gives throws the console into an infinite loop with the statement being printed over and over again. But i haven't just noticed this problem with javadoc -- i noticed this problem with certain types of mistakes in the code rather than just displaying the compiler error -- it creates this infinite loop in the dos console window. any thoughts ?

  • Using AOL emails, Firefox goes into a "not Responding mode" I have to wait until it times out.

    using AOL emails, Firefox goes into a '''"Not Responding" mode.
    I have to wait until it times out. Happens every time I log on.
    I am using windows 7, HP lap top. I am using MSE for virus detector. This may have started sense I switched to MSE.
    I am not sure.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • Keep getting error code 2048 when trying to open wmv files, says realplayer cannot open with the installed version of Quicktime, any suggestions?

    Keep getting error code 2048 when trying to open wmv files, says realplayer cannot open with the installed version of Quicktime, any suggestions?

    wmv is a Windows Media format.  I don't know why Realplayer is coming into it since that deals primarily with Real format files and maybe a few generic formats.
    You need
    Free Flip4mac QuickTime player components - http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx
    After installation a new Flip4Mac pane will appear in System Preferences.  Make sure you set the boxes to ensure that it will play WMV files in Quicktime.
    or play the files with VLC
    VLC media player - http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ - general media player that plays just about anything.
    While you're at it you might install:
    Perian codecs for Quicktime - http://www.perian.org - plugins to add functionality to Quicktime for playing additional audio and video formats
    Quicktime audio problems, Perian, VLC - http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9013669 - read note about uninstalling prior DIVX support before installing Perian.
    Perian doen't do WMV but it's handy to get many things to play in Quicktime.
    Note, if these are protected WMV, nothing on a Mac will play those (unless you also have Windows installed).

    Local Mac shop said to hold down "c" after inserting disk to get "disk utility" to come up in order to wipe hard drive.  I can't seem to get it to do this.

    This W7 was purchased for using Fusion, as others did - per reviews from amazon.  The technician today called their contact at VMWare - Fusion not officially for use with Lion - even though I read at the VMWare support site that others have made it work.  Apparently my setup doesn't work. 
    Do you know how to do the proceedure for bringing up the disk utility when starting the disk?
    BTW, some of the windows applications I want to continue using are Incredimail, Calendarscope, Stamps.com and a few others I have used over many years.  What do you use for email and calendar?
    Wow, sounds like another reason to not use MS Windows.
    Regarding your Disk Utility question, please elablorate I'm not sure what you're trying to do. Disk Utilty is just that...a utility, it's something most users never have to use especially on a new computer. Let me know what you're trying to do there before I give you some instructions.
    As for as your Windows apps I would recommend using Mail and iCal, both come as part of OS X and are very robust tools. Don't discount the software built right into OS X it's very robust and powerful not all like the bloatware most Windows boxes ship with. Stamps.com well I'd look for another alternative. It's clear they don't support OS X which makes me a little suspicious that they're so behind the times. 
    Also if you have not been exposed to these links before I'd strongly recommend bookmarking them and using them. They're extermely useful!

  • IPhone 4s reboots many times when trying to sync with iTunes

    iPhone 4s reboots many times when trying to sync with iTunes.
    Since IOS 8, my iPhone 4s reboots many times when trying to sync with iTunes on my Mac. It will start running the backup and reboot, it will reboot many times when updating packages. It can take 12 hours to finish a sync with the mac. The phone gets hot during this. I keep deleting more and more pictures and apps, hoping that maybe it doesn't have enough space, but iTunes shows I have 4.9 Gbytes free, which I think should be enough.  I am on IOS 8.0.2, I thought maybe I would try to upgrade to the latest IOS today, but I am worried that I will end up with a non working phone.
    Is anyone else having these problems?
    Ed

    Well thats Od... I have never experienced that problem.. Maybe you should try to backup your phone and then wipe it by going to Settings<General<Reset

  • Firefox 8 is still freezing at irregular intervals, usually when trying to load a page or a bookmark from the menu

    so far when trying to load pages but once when i had the bookmark menu open and tried to scroll down in it the whole thing froze with the menu fixed on top over everything (including other applications), with similar symptoms as before; 40-50% cpu usage, firefox APPEARS to have hung but comes back after a minute or two. except or the single time the bookmark menu was stuck on top, u can just do other things until firefox comes back.

    sorry but the issue that was about is said to be fixed in firefox 8 so i assumed this was not the same bug; also i dont know enough about the addon recommended to know if it is secure enough. the firefox browser is used almost exclusively for use with tor (i should have made this clear in the question...DOH!) and if the places maintenance does anything which bypasses tor it kind of obviates the whole point lol. so i am reluctant to use the addon (and if the bug it was working around is fixed anyways according to the blog entry it wouldnt work anyway). i am not techie enough to audit/test places maintenance or file proper bug reports which would also interfere with the work i am supposed to do with firefox anyways. so i guess my question is really more for information, and in the faint hope other ppl may find the answer. thx for reply anyway

  • Sql@loader-704  and ORA-12154: error messages when trying to load data with SQL Loader

    I have a data base with two tables that is used by Apex 4.2. One table has 800,000 records . The other has 7 million records
    The client recently upgraded from Apex 3.2 to Apex 4.2 . We exported/imported the data to the new location with no problems
    The source of the data is an old mainframe system; I needed to make changes to the source data and then load the tables.
    The first time I loaded the data i did it from a command line with SQL loader
    Now when I try to load the data I get this message:
    sql@loader-704 Internal error: ulconnect OCISERVERATTACH
    ORA-12154: tns:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
    I've searched for postings on these error message and they all seem to say that SQL Ldr can't find my TNSNAMES file.
    I am able to  connect and load data with SQL Developer; so SQL developer is able to find the TNSNAMES file
    However SQL Developer will not let me load a file this big
    I have also tried to load the file within Apex  (SQL Workshop/ Utilities) but again, the file is too big.
    So it seems like SQL Loader is the only option
    I did find one post online that said to set an environment variable with the path to the TNSNAMES file, but that didn't work..
    Not sure what else to try or where to look
    thanks

    Hi,
    You must have more than one tnsnames file or multiple installations of oracle. What i suggest you do (as I'm sure will be mentioned in ed's link that you were already pointed at) is the following (* i assume you are on windows?)
    open a command prompt
    set TNS_ADMIN=PATH_TO_DIRECTOT_THAT_CONTAINS_CORRECT_TNSNAMES_FILE (i.e. something like set TNS_ADMIN=c:\oracle\network\admin)
    This will tell oracle use the config files you find here and no others
    then try sqlldr user/pass@db (in the same dos window)
    see if that connects and let us know.
    Cheers,
    Harry
