Firefox is causing my imac screen to go blank (crash) and I have to restart. Most of the time its random, but recently it did it everytime I finished listening to an audio file online. Is there a solution for this?

Firefox is causing my imac screen to go blank & I have to restart. It's been happening randomly for weeks now. I haven't been able to tie an action that causes it. Firefox is open while I work in other adobe software. Recently it has done it every time the audio file finished that I'm listening to online and that makes me think it's tied to Firefox. Is there something I can do to fix this? For now, I am going to quit firefox while I work and see if that doesn't improve my situation for now.

Does it still happen if you disable all plugins?
Did it start happening after a Firefox update or a plugin update?

    Upgrading my work PC is NOT an option, but I'd like my Mac to be able to recognise the attachment for what it is
    Let see, you are using a proprietary file format that is only supposed to work with Outlook. It doesn't work for millions of Windows or Mac or Linux email users that depend on other email programs like Outlook Express, Thunderbird, Apple Mail, webmail, etc.
    Microsoft has had to publish instructions so that their program's users can make themselves compatible with the rest of the world.
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290809
    You are causing your own problem by not making a simple change in your program's options. Changes in the Outlook preferences can be made either Globally or by the Recipient.
    Follow these steps in Outlook 2007 to turn off TNEF:
    1. On the Tools menu, click Options.
    2. Click the Mail Format tab.
    3. In the Compose in this message format box, click Plain Text or HTML, and then click OK.
    Don't know of a better way to fix this problem for everyone concerned. Even if you get the fix to work with your machine, you will not enable all of the people receiving your emails to be able to work with you. That's a losing battle that's been caused by Microsoft.
    Now if Microsoft created a Mail plugin for other email programs like they do for their video format's and services (flip4mac, Office Live Plugin, etc), then I would consider using their email program to deal with my clients. Until then, I need to be compatible with many different programs in other countries, on different platforms. Maybe that's going to change when they bring out the new Office 2011 with Outlook for the Mac...

  • I transfered a picture folder to my tc and now it occupies space on the tc but I can't open it. I there a solution for this?

    I transfered a picture folder to my Time Capsule (3Gbit) from a external USB, drive thru my Macbook Pro, and now it occupies space on the Time Capsule  but I can't open it. Is there a solution for this?

    This is super fun with Yosemite.. that cannot open files on network drives..
    Have you got the drive mounted in Finder?
    Try and change the permissions of the folder in TC.. but I am not sure you are going to find this easy.
    I think the best way to fix this is to copy the whole lot back to the external USB via the terminal using a full root login.
    So open terminal.. type sudo su
    Type in your main administrator password.
    Then you can use any of the command line copy tools.. I have just done this with rsync..
    The command is rsync -av /source/* /destination/
    You should mount both the source and destination in finder.. and you can then drag the folder into the command line.. it will then copy the exact source and destination you want.

  • HT5457 since I installed ios 6 on my iPhone 4S Siri has been verrrrrry slow - is there a solution for this?

    since I installed ios 6 on my iPhone 4S Siri has been verrrrrry slow - is there a solution for this?

    There is no issue with iOS7.
    The issue is with specific iPhones. 
    I know multiple people with iPhones that have all upgraded to the latest iOS and none of them have experienced issues with the update across multiple models.  Even with the postings here, if you search through them, some go back as far as iOS5 and these Wi-Fi/bluetooth issues occurring which clearly shows it is not the iOS update that is killing the hardware.  The issue is with hardware on specific devices that is boarderline working and an update is causing the hardware to fail.
    Apple offers an Out of Warranty replacement for a reasonable cost or the user can choose to replace the device with a different one (newer iPhone or some other device).
    Regardless, ranting here is pointless and against the terms of use.

    Download the music to your ipod when you are in a wi-fi area.
    It will be stored on your ipod.

        That's quite odd Rob8, but we can definitely get to the bottom of this. When did it start? Do you delete heavy and older threads? Please go to Settings>General>About. What is capacity? What's available?

  • I just bought the new PowerShot G1X. Aperture cannot read the raw files. Is there a fix for this?

    I just bought the new PowerShot G1X. Aperture cannot read the raw files. Is there a fix for this? I am using Aperture 3.2.2 with a MacBook Pro.

    I don't know -- sorry.  I don't think it matters -- once your camera is supported, you can easily force a re-processing of the Masters.  If you can import them as RAW+JPEG pairs, I would.  Set the JPG as Master until Aperture can convert the RAWs.
    I don't use RAW+JPEG.  Can someone who does offer some suggestions  .
    (Added:)
    And _always_ back up your files.  In this case, if you have to, you'll be able to re-import them.

    There isn't a separate app icon for Facetime for the iPhone like there is for the iPad and iPod Touch.  Facetime is built into the iPhone's iOS.

  • TS4436 hi, when zooming in to capture still images, the image is really blurred and out of focus. is this a hardware issue and is there any solution for this?? or is my device faulty?

    If you are using the iPhone camera zoom then remember that this is a digital zoom not an optical zoom. The zoomed in area will have fewer pixels and not appear as clear. The more you zoom the worse it gets. It's like cropping a picture after it has been taken.

    Content and Apple IDs -
    Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with one Apple ID with a new Apple ID.

    Hello talaldanaf,
    You may need to back up, then restore your iPhone.

    If your iPhone continues to restart when you pull down the Notification Center, I would recommend restoring the iPhone as a new device.

  • I see my emails come in and then they disappear from my ipad2.  Is there a solution for this?

    I see my emails come in and then they disappear from my ipad2.  Is there a solution for this?

    Do you leave the email client on your computer launched and running actively checking the account for new messages and downloading new messages while the iPad's Mail app is doing the same?
    If so stop, and see if there is any difference.
    More than likely there will be. Although it is possible to access a POP account with more than one email client, a POP account is designed to be accessed with a single email client only and there are some limitations.
    No such problem or limitations with an IMAP account.
