Firefox hang on Start-Up on Mac OSX 10.5.x with any FFv3.5.2 and FFv3.0.11
I've done everything I can think of... and it is still hanging! I've done repair disk permissions, I've moved the folder to all disable plugins and everything else, I've deleted the .plist file and and FF and started over. Downloaded and tried V3.0.11 , and it still hangs after 3-10 seconds with ~600MB of ram taken up. I just ran the new Apple update too, 10.5.8, which didn't do a thing to help. Tried running in safe-mode from terminal. Nothing. Can anyone help?
Well, I've posted the question on the forums there also. I guess I could try the chat too. http://support.mozilla.com/tiki-viewforum_thread.php?commentsparentId=411315&forumId=1

I have tried everything on support yet it keeps crashing. My macbook pro has the same software (10.8.5) yet firefox 25.0 works like a dream. My desk top is part of an office network with 10.8 server.
<sub>Question title edited by moderator to change "keeps crashing" to "always hangs", since Firefox isn't crashing - it's not responding. aw</sub>I encounter the same problem. I suspect this has to do with remote user homes. Firefox 24 works on local accounts - not in server hosted ones.
I am sorry i can not provide crash reports because Firefox hangs in such an early state - it does not write crash logs. It literally does not crash - it just stops to respond a lounchtime - so it does not give an error in the system console, too.
We have 20 Workstations (OSX 10.8.5) working with apple remote user homes. the problem is persistent on all systems. Firefox 23 worked fine and does again if you reinstall it. -
G4 Mac OSX 10.4 server with RAID & sharepoints - Intel Xserve & RAID?
Hey all,
so we need to migrate our G4 Power Mac running Mac OSX 10.4 server with about 60 user accounts and a RAID with about 50 sharepoints to a brand new Intel Xserve with 10.4 server and a brand new RAID.
My plan for the server part of things is to put the new server online with the old one still running, make the new one a replica of the old one, then take the old one offline and promote the new one to a master.
But what to do about the sharepoints and several terabytes of data? Is there any way to do this except manually copying the data and re-creating all the sharepoints? That wouldn't be the complete end of the world as long as all the accounts/groups come across via the replication, but it'd be nice if there's a smart way to do this.
Thanks for your help!Never tried the replica promote so I can't say that it will work. The way I migrated from 10.4 to new hardware 10.4 server was to set the new server up with exactly the same setup, DNS, IP and so on. This requires the old server be off the network for a bit. Once it was running I would have a backup of the LDAP/OD info made directly from the old server in Server Admin. Import this on the new server and all users and passwords are back in place. Now as for the share points and the data the best thing to do is to attach the old RAID to the new unit first. Hopefully you have a way to have both RAIDs connected at the same time to the new unit since that would be best.
In the interest of downtime you could immediately add the share points back in to WGM pointing to the old RAID drives. This gives you the free time to migrated the data when you want to. Make sure you know the right settings for each protocols which you use for each share point (AFP, SMB, FTP, NFS).
Now that your up and running you can move data by whatever means you see fit to the new RAID keeping in mind you want to keep permissions in-tacked. There are many clone or sync option out there and you don't need to move all the share points at once.
The main reason I chose this method is it offers a fall back and no client reconfiguring. If something is not working on the new server you can simply plug the old RAID back to the old server and your up. Second is that if you try to run both server at the same time you would need to create a whole new identity for the new server (IP, DNS and so on). Migrate data via a Network (very slow) and reconfigure all clients to point at the new server. I've done this at least 10+ times at different locations and even before the easy 10.4 backup of LDAP/OD info. Making sure you had a clean LDAP was never so easy. All swap outs took less then an hour of down time with maybe 2 hour pre-swap setup. Data movement to a new RAID was not always the case but by using this method you can move data later which is the most time consuming process of the whole swap. -
Firefox hangs when starting, during session restore. Uninstalled then installed new Firefix. Same problem. Firefox window title bar says "Firefox (not responding)". It just hangs, won;t display even one page. What to do? Tried -safe-mode, smae result.
I keep too many tabs open and whilst trying to download a pdf file Firefox 8.01 hung and when I restarted it the Embarrassing page opened. I knew which tab I needed to delete but as soon as I tried to navigate to the errant tab it said "Not Responding" and nothing I could do would make it respond. I tried command line opening in safe mode and the same thing happened.
I have read the other posts but cannot send a crash dump as it is "Not Responding" and does not get far enough to crash.

I'm using firefox 1.0.6 on a Mac OSX 10.3. Firefox is crashing and freezing frequently. I've heard that My firefox version is too old to update and I should get a new computer. I can't upload art to my website. News articles freeze constantly. Firefox shuts down when I go to certain websites. What can I do? Thanks.

Can I synch an ipod nano 6th generation with Mac OSX 10.4.11 with Itunes 8.02?
No. You need at least Mac OS X 10.5.8 or later as well as iTunes version 10.1 or later. Sorry.

Im using a Macbook Pro, running a Mac OS 10.6.8, with 400GB free of space and it is running slow. It takes more than 15 minutes to start up and things like that. I cant seem to do anything as it is so slow. The 'beachball of death' is also present during start up. What should I do? Please help
Try these two steps first.
Get the Original Installation disk and boot the MBP holding down the C key. When you get to the point where you see a menu bar on the top of the display, select UTILITIES. From the drop down menu select DISK UTILITY>FIRST AID. Run verify and repair.
See if there is any improvement.
Try a Safe Boot:

I have my Canon GL2 connected to my I-Mac OSX version10.7.3 with a Belkin 800/400 9-pin to 4-pin firewire cable and the computer is not acknowledging the camera.
While holding the option key, click the in the menu bar and select System Information. Select Firewire in the Hardware section and see if your camera shows up as a connected Firewire device. If not, then you have one of three basic problems:
1. Defective Firewire cable
2. Defective Firewire port on computer
3. Defective Firewire port on camcorder
Rule out any of the above by trying a different cable, Firewire device (like a hard drive) or try your camcorder/cable on a different/friend's computer.
If you suspect a Firewire port problem on your computer, you can try resetting it by shutting down and disconnecting the power cable to the computer. Wait for 30 minutes and plug back in and startup. You can also try resetting Parameter RAM (PRAM) on the iMac. (Apple's Instructions for reseting PRAM) -
I have an old MacBook (Mac OSX 10.5.8) with iPhoto '08. Is there any way to back up not only the photos, but the way I have organized them into events and labeled them?
Yes. Back up the Library.
Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store -
i am trying to restore my mac osx 10.7.4 from an ext lacie harddrive and getting message "u can't open the application lacie backup support because power pc application are no longer supported"
Use any number of free alternatives to your nearly decade old version of MS Office.
Consider
LibreOffice (donation-supported)
NeoOffice (free)
OpenOffice (free)
In addition to the above I also recommend Apple's Pages ($19.99). I use OpenOffice and Pages and have been completely Microsoft - free for years. Life is better without Microsoft. -

Basic Backup
For some people Time Machine will be more than adequate. Time Machine is part of OS X. There are two components:
1. A Time Machine preferences panel as part of System Preferences;
2. A Time Machine application located in the Applications folder. It is
used to manage backups and to restore backups. Time Machine
requires a backup drive that is at least twice the capacity of the
drive being backed up.
Alternatively, get an external drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Carbon Copy Cloner
2. Get Backup
3. Deja Vu
4. SuperDuper!
5. Synk Pro
6. Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore. Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files. For help with using Time Machine visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine.
Although you can buy a complete external drive system, you can also put one together if you are so inclined. It's relatively easy and only requires a Phillips head screwdriver (typically.) You can purchase hard drives separately. This gives you an opportunity to shop for the best prices on a hard drive of your choice. Reliable brands include Seagate, Hitachi, Western Digital, Toshiba, and Fujitsu. You can find reviews and benchmarks on many drives at Storage Review.
Enclosures for FireWire and USB are readily available. You can find only FireWire enclosures, only USB enclosures, and enclosures that feature multiple ports. I would stress getting enclosures that use the Oxford chipsets especially for Firewire drives (911, 921, 922, for example.) You can find enclosures at places such as;
1. Cool Drives
2. OWC
3. WiebeTech
4. Firewire Direct
5. California Drives
6. NewEgg
All you need do is remove a case cover, mount the hard drive in the enclosure and connect the cables, then re-attach the case cover. Usually the only tool required is a small or medium Phillips screwdriver. -
If you reinstall Mac OSX 10.5, does it erase all your files and settings??
If you reinstall Mac OSX 10.5, does it erase all your files and settings, if it does, how would you install iMovie by itself, because I accidenatlly deleted imovie

that depends what reinstall option you choose. an erase and install will erase everything. an archive and install will preserve user data and applications.
However neither one will reinstall imovie which is part of ilife which is separate from the OS itself. you can reinstall ilife only. there is no need to reinstall the whole OS. if you bought ilife separately then use the ilife DVD. if ilife came with your mac then insewrt install disk 1 that came with your computer, open it in finder and double-click on "install bundled software only". -
I have downloades Logic Pro 9 onto my older modfel Mac Book Pro 1,1 with OS 10.6.8 and 2 GB RAM, according to the rquirements for Logic 9. the program should run on OS 10.6.8. with 2 GB RAM, 4 GB better, but it won't open. Is my configutation too slow?
Looks as if you're just at the minimum specs - http://www.apple.com/logicpro/specs/. Says 2GB minimum, 4GB recommended. And 2GB of RAM is all the RAM the 1,1 can handle. If I were you I would call Apple's App Store service center - you have the minimum requirements, as I read it, but perhaps you need a faster processor?
I had a 1,1 but sold it when I bought my late 2011 in March of this year - maybe it's time to look at a new machine?
