Firefox hangs with a "Script not responding" error message; in the meantime there are more and more flashplayer instances running

Recently I receive errors from Firefox at sites that were working fine before, always the same: a script is not responding, and I can wait, debug or stop. Waiting doesn't help (therefore pointless to change the 'dom.max_script_run_time' setting in the config); and also pointless to debug because the problem is not with the script. "Stop" eventually gets firefox to work, until the next error message which comes very soon.
I tried to reinstall both Firefox and Flashplayer, even manually wiped the traces from the user profile and program files. They are the latest 35.0.1 and 16.0.0.305 available now.
=> In the meantime, there are reproducing instances of flash players are spawned and running. They stay running even after firefox is closed or terminated.
=> if I disable the flash player plugin everything's fine except of course flash is not working. If I re-enable it, the problem starts over.
OS is Windows 8.1

Retard, (I know that sounds hilarious, but I don't know your name - no offense please! )
Like you said, if this happens only primarily on one of the many sites, it generally comes down to the type of code on that site.
And after looking at the URL you posted, seems like that page uses a lot of external references - JS and CSS.
Especially the last few lines:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://njcdn.worldsecuresystems.com/CatalystScripts/Java_OnlineShopping.js?vs=b1763.r38875 7"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://njcdn.worldsecuresystems.com/CatalystScripts/Java_Cookies.js?vs=b1763.r388757"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://njcdn.worldsecuresystems.com/CatalystScripts/Java_Box.js?vs=b1763.r388757"></script>
Also, a couple CSS, JS references in the <head> section.
'Display External Files' only disables showing external files - but still loads them.
Can you try removing the external references and try working with the webpage in DW for a few minutes to see if the same problem persists? If it does, we know what was causing your issue.
Also, run your site through W3 validator to check and resolve errors: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.healthfirst.com%2Facls-kit.html&charset =%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0
Let us know how it goes.
Good luck.

Firefox is very slow to respond when opening and nearly always stops responding altogether even refusing to react to Task Manager "End Program@ command. The "not responding@ error message also comes up during navigation on line.

Firefox is very slow to respond when opening and nearly always stops responding altogether, even refusing to react to the Task Manager "End Program" command. The "not responding" error message also comes up during navigation on line. Several attempt have to be made to get on line. A loss of stability seems to be endemic at the moment.

"Firefox is already running but is not responding" error message and recent firefox update

"Firefox is already running but is not responding" error message is continuously popping up after the recent firefox update. I have nearly exhausted every possible solution to the problem as seen from the support page for this error message. I know someone who has the same issue on their computer and it also started right after the recent big update. Does the update have anything to do with this reoccurring issue? Is anyone else having this problem? Any other ideas on how to fix it? It would be great to get some help.

From what I have been reading from other posts on this forum, the
issue may be caused by the clear history settings.
Press the '''<Alt>''' or '''<F10>''' key to bring up the tool bar.
Followed by;
Windows; '''Tools > Options'''
Linux; '''Edit > Preferences'''
Mac; ''application name'' '''> Preferences'''
Then '''Privacy'''.
The button next to '''History''', select '''Use Custom Settings'''.
At the bottom of the page, turn on '''Clear History When Firefox Closes.'''
At the far right, press the '''Settings''' button. Turn on ONLY '''Cache''' and
'''Form And Search History''' leaving the others off.
This is not a cure but will make it easier if Firefox locks up.

Not Responding Error Message

Good Afternoon,
I am currently editing text to match timing of auido in my Captivate 6 slides. I am continually running into a "Not Responding" error message. Please inquire with sugeestions on how to stop this.
Already tried:
- Rebooting Captivate
- Rebooting System
- Working just out of Captivate with no other programs running
Thank you!

Thank you for your continued help.
I had not yet tried clearing the cache - after I did (twice) the end result was still the same.
Refreshing the preferences folder sounds like something we are willing to try, but I was wondering if there were step by step directions for this process in Captivate 6? This link does not allude to any direction within Captivate 6. .http://helpx.adobe.com/captivate/kb/troubleshoot-unexpected-behavior-captivate-4.html
Thanks.

Whenever I try to sync my iPod Touch 5th gen with iTunes I get an error message saying "The iPod "*****" could not be synced because the sync session failed to start". Is there any way I can fix this?

Whenever I try to sync my iPod Touch 5th gen with iTunes I get an error message saying "The iPod "*****" could not be synced because the sync session failed to start". Is there any way I can fix this?

B-rock, thanks for posting the above. I actually have the same issue, running Windows XP and I don't have that backup location, \Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\. When I go to Documents and Settings\(username)\ there's a AppData folder followed by:\LocalLow\DataMngr\ .
I have the latest update, 5.0.1 and I have the iPod Touch 3rd gen.
I have tried removing itunes and all that is associated with it then reinstalling and keep getting the same message. I've reset my ipod thinking that would help but still, no backup.
In iTunes, Edit, Preference, Device there are no backups.
What am I doing wrong, can you help?
Thank you!

Object variable or With block variable not set error message

When processing the Rate application I get a "Object variable or With block variable not set error message" What is causing this error and how do I fix it?

Hi Brian,
I'm afraid that in some ways this reply won't be very helpful though it may help you save some time.
The error message you describe is a very generic one thrown by Microsoft .NET (the programming platform that SAP is written with, see the link at the bottom of this message) and not being 'handled' by SAP.
This means from a SAP perspective that any one of many unrelated things may be causing the error and that it gives you virtually no help in tracking the problem down in SAP.
We've plagued by this message quite a bit, my advice is to look for clues at to what may be happening elsewhere, e.g. try:
1. The windows event viewer, if you are in a multi-server environment then check the event log on all machines.
2. The SQL Server event log (this can be found in Management Studio - Management - SQL Server Logs assuming you're using SQL Server 2005)
3. IIS logs, usually these are text files in the following location -
HTTP.SYS Error Log - %windir%\System32\LogFiles\HTTPERR
IIS Website Log - %windir%\System32\LogFiles\W3SVC#
It is dull work trawling through all these places looking for error events with a timestamp similar to the time your error was encountered, but by doing this we've been able to troubleshoot some issues that otherwise would have taken us ages to rectify via trial and error.
Sorry that there is no definitive answer, but if itu2019s of any help there's many more of us out there who this error message causes trouble for.
Regards,
Iain

You can't do anything, you should just wait.

I'm getting a similar error over here. Sporadically some sites won't load specifically in Safari; they open just fine in Opera, Firefox and Camino though. This is really annoying.
It's pretty clear it's nothing network related…

I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes several times, but keep getting an error message that "the registry settings for importing and burning CD's and DVD's is missing". Can anyone help with this?

I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes several times, but keep getting an error message that "the registry settings for importing and burning CD's and DVD's is missing". Can anyone help with this?

It keeps telling me to reinstall iTunes, but it continues to come back with the same error message.

When i try to download the new version of iTunes, I get an error message saying the download was for 32bit and I need the 64bit. How do i download 64bit?!?!

When i try to download the new version of iTunes, I get an error message saying the download was for 32bit and I need the 64bit. How do i download 64bit?!?!

Which I get. But clicking on that link you provided does not give you the option of choosing between 32 and 64 bit installers.
Yeah, that was certainly a 32-bit installer file being referred to in the other message, too. (The 64-bit installer file is called iTunes64Setup.exe.)
Just in case it's an issue with your normal browser not working properly with the system-detection equipment on the page (there's a javascript control that checks for operating system specifics, and is supposed to deliver the correct Mac or Windows installers), let's try a different web browser for the download. If you use Firefox instead of IE (or vice versa), do you get offered an iTunes64Setup.exe instead of an iTunesSetup.exe?

Trying to download iTunes 11.1 but it keeps giving me an error message saying: The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.

Trying to download iTunes 11.1 but it keeps giving me an error message saying:

Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package "iTunes64.msi" in the box below.
Use Source:

iTunes.msi
Perfect, thanks.
Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Itunes will not open, error message reads: The iTunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occurred (13014)

iTunes 10.4 will not open on my macbook, error message reads:
The iTunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occurred (13014).
It won't let me delete and re-install either, thank you for any help!

are you running any anti virus software on your machine ?

Keep getting "not responding" error message as DW hangs

I have had the following problem consistently used DW 12.1, as well as the version that was with CS 5.5. And I am almost sure it has something to do with the html or other code on my pages, but I thought a DW guru might help.
Basics First: DW 12.1 with the subscription. 64 bit Window 7.
Files that I am editing will periodically freeze, and then I get the "not responding" message above the menu bar. It freezes for 10 to 30 seconds (IT FEELS LIKE 10 TO 30 HOURS) and then starts working again.
Of course it only seems to happen when I'm on a roll making many duplicate mundane edits and then BOOM... can't do anything except shoot laser eye daggers at the screen and try to prevent myself from hyperventilating.
Here's the thing. I work on many sites; and this generally only happens on the site of my main client. I work off o local copies of the site, but I inherited them and they are massively full of bloat code, scripts, etc. I would not be surprised in the least if DW is trying to run or access some of this and this is the cause.
I turned off the "Display external files" option; are there other options I should try? It really is the absolute most annoying thing in my life right now (we should all be so lucky) and I'm hoping you might have a way to fix it.
I'd be happy to post code, but this page is a typical example where I might get the error 10 times in a 30 minutes while working on it...

Firefox hangs on open wirh Not Responding

There are no other details. It simply won't respond after it opens. It sits there with Not Responding.

From what I have been reading from other posts on this forum, the
issue may be caused by the clear history settings. It was suppose
to have been fixed in v30.
'''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Start Firefox in Safe Mode]''' {web link}
Type '''about:preferences''' in the address bar and press '''Enter.'''

The button next to '''History,''' select '''Use Custom Settings'''.
At the bottom of the page, turn on '''Clear History When Firefox Closes.'''
At the far right, press the '''Settings''' button. Turn on ONLY '''Cache''' and
'''Form And Search History''' leaving the others off.
