Firefox is completely useless when it comes to filling in forms and comments in Facebook and Picasa
Does anyone else have the maddening experience of filling in a comment, not just in FB but also in Picasa or any other "modern" interactive webpage, in which your changes are not saved and the page must be reloaded several times, the comment reentered, reloaded, reentered up to three or four times, before the damn thing "sticks????" I am SICK of having to write everything in a text editor, copy it, paste it, reload and then repeat and repeat. This is why people OD on pills. Can't you software engineers take a couple of years OFF and leave us all alone to work and enjoy the technology as it is until you go around "improving" it again and... screw it up worse than it was before??? GO AWAY! Stop upgrading. Enough is enough. Now. How much do you want to bet that this comment wont stick? I have it copied just in case. Stupid.
I'll give these a whirl, but actually, Google Chrome does the same thing, and I am wondering if it is Mac OS X. Whatever... it just seems like since I began with computers in 1996 there have always been these types of issues, new technologies that are incompatible with God knows what, causing a person to spend hours troubleshooting or just bearing it trying not to throw the damn thing out the window. Which by the way, I have actually done.
Capitalism SUCKS if that is what is behind all this "creative" energy being pit one against the other in endless competition to "improve" which only ends up making everything conflict and... well, maybe Ted Kazinski wasn't all wrong.

My macbook turns off randomly but not completely because when I tap the touchpad it goes to the password screen and I am back to it in seconds. It's really annoying. HELP!!!
1. Non volatile random access memory (NVRAM) is where the computer stores user's settings, like time and date, speaker volume, energy saver settings etc.
2. Reseting NVRAM has no impact on anything on your hard drive, or anything else on the computer.

I have recently purchased a Mac computer (updated to Maverick) to go with my Epson Stylus Photo RX500 printer which has given excellent service with my old Windows computer. However, when trying to print pictures or photos via Photoshop Elements 11, the best results I can get are using the Colour Management and Epson Colour controls in the printing options box.
My problem is that after printing the first photo or picture, when I come to print a second, both the Colour Management and Epson Colour Controls are greyed out and showing No Colour Management, The only way I can reset the controls is to shut down the printer and computer and restart.
Could there may be a setting somewhere that I need to adjust please? I have been in touch with Epson and they say that the Epson Colour controls are part of the Photoshop Elements software but a post on the Adobe forum brought no results and I am unable to contact Adobe.
<Edited by Host>Hello Garry. Thanks for the reply. I guess I should have used a different title from "How do I post a question?" That should come after trying to resolved the colour settings first. However, to answer your question, after experimenting with all the different settings in Photoshop Elements and Epson software, I now start with PSE11 Colour settings then click "no colour management" then after clicking Print, I choose "More Options/Colour Management/Colour Handling/Printer Manages Colour" then I choose "Page Setup/Layout/Colour Matching" which then shows Epson Colour Controls but I also choose "Layout/Colour Management" which then shows "Colour Controls/Mode" I then of course choose an Epson printer profile depending on the paper I am using. I get good results but as I said, the Colour Matching and Colour Controls are then greyed out. Hope that makes sense.

As the title states, when using Acrobat 11.0.07 it crashes when i attempt to fill in forms. when i click on a form field to fill it in, it crashes to desktop.
I am having the same problem... It just started. Can anyone help with this issue??

When I try to fill out forms on line my I cannot send as it says my email isn't valid. I ve tried with my gmail and my work email and no luck. It will recognise my partners email with no problem. Please advise
Assuming that you can send email on the iPad, Maybe something is corrupt in Safari that is causing this. Try clearing Safari and see if the sites will accept your email address.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button. -
Mozilla Firefox has worked fine for several years. Beginning two days ago I would click on the desktop icon, I would see the little whirling circle for about 1 second and then nothing would happen. Later when I shut down the computer, suddenly I would see the mozilla firefox page come up for an instant and then shut down. The computer was telling me that it was open, but I couldn't see the home page or use it. Then I decided to try uninstalling it and reinstalling. The uninstall went fine. But after downloading the latest version, which my antivirus program told me was safe, the computer refused to install the executable program, telling me it was corrupt. I have already lost all my bookmarks, etc. It looks like my only solution is to use another browser. However I really prefer Mozilla. Any suggestions?
Do a clean (re)install and delete the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 10.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data because all profile folders will be removed.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

Toolbar disppears when control comes back to the form
Hi,
When a form calls another form and after the control goes back to the calling form, the toolbar disappears and the menu is getting disabled.
Inference:
If i change the window of that canvas(with the same old properties), it works fine.
Can any1 help me out why it's happnin?
FYI, the window name is ROOT_WINDOW. Could it be a reason?
Thanx in advance,
Natz.Yep, ROOT_WINDOW could be the main cause. Back in the very old days (before graphical user interfaces) ROOT_WINDOW had a special meaning. This is of no use anymore with the GUI environment but Oracle Forms does still seem to have its quirks with forms named ROOT_WINDOW. In our conversion to Forms 10gR2 we renamed each and every window called ROOT_WINDOW to a new name.
Be sure to also update PL/SQL code that refers to the window by name. -
Firefox slow and unresponsive with facebook and zynga and then locks up for all other tabs open
I finally had to uninstall the beta 4 version as I couldn't take the issues any longer. The browser would become slow and then totally unresponsive mostly when using facebook and zynga. however, all tabs would become slow and unresponsive and would have to be rebooted. It wouldn't be 5 minutes and it would have to be done again. Even without facebook/zynga loaded in a tab, the entire browser is unbelievably slow. I am running mac os x 10.5.8.
I went back to the old version until I hear back as I just don't have time to sit and wait and wait and wait only to have to reboot the program constantly.I found a "work around". I installed Incredible Bookmarks 0.7.3. That allows me to add an additional Bookmarks Toolbar without causing the bouncing problem.
Putting bookmarks in the IB bar was a little tricky. It allows customization, but only to the extent of choosing bookmarks by topic or by a subdirectory of the Bookmarks Menu. What I actually put on the toolbar are such subdirectories (or folders), so I normally could only put one at a time. (This problem doesn't exist with the Firefox Bookmarks Toolbar, which allows you to copy subfolders, not just individual bookmarks).
I solved the problem by moving the additional folders I wanted to put in the IB Toolbar into a folder I (cleverly) called "IB Toolbar", then selected that for the actual Toolbar. The result: a row of folders, exactly what I wanted. (Actually, it's a second row of folders, since I still have the original Firefox Bookmarks Toolbar.)
I'd still prefer MultiRow, but that doesn't appear to be working with Firefox 3.6.18 and higher, so until I upgrade to Firefox 5 (and see if the Plus version will work) this will have to do. -
Try to install FireFox computer says needs to reboot to uninstall deleted FireFox , when computer restart no install.
Had the same drama with Windows 7 64 bit this is what I was told to do and it worked for me!!
Close all applications and reboot the computer.
Delete any downloaded or partially downloaded installer files.
Clear the browser cache (of whatever browser you are using to download FF) and the Windows Temp directory.
Delete the directory C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
Shutdown any anti-virus software you are running.
Download a new copy of the full installer from www.mozilla.com
Run the installer.
Restart the anti-virus program. -
I installed Firefox successfully yesterday. But when I click on the icon, the only page that comes up is a google home page with a google toolbar. No firefox visible at all as page or toolbar. Can't figure it out. Current browser in Explorer and I have a windows 7 operating system on a desktop.
Hi druddock,
Is Firefox in fullscreen mode? Try hitting F11 to see if the toolbar and navigation bar are just hidden. If you see a small ''Firefox'' button in the corner, hit ''Alt'' and go to ''view > toolbars'' and enable the ''Navigation toolbar'' and the ''Bookmarks toolbar''. The [[Back and forward or other toolbar items are missing]] article also has some good information in it.
You should take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[How to set the home page]] and try setting your homepage to ''about:home''. This is the default Firefox homepage.
If that doesn't work you should look at the article [[Preferences are not saved]]. If you've upgraded from 3.6, you might also want to look at [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/common-questions-after-upgrading-firefox-36#os this article with common questions after upgrading].
Hopefully this helps! -
Firefox 9 completely unstable when CrossFire is enabled
My desktop PC has been having this issue pretty much since FF9 came out, and it prompted me to do a COMPLETE wipe and reload of my desktop PC today.
Guess what?
If crossfire is enabled, and I try to use Firefox to surf ANYTHING, regardless of content, the system BSODs with the stupid atikmpag.sys file and continues to do so until I disable crossfire.
Seriously, what the heck?Hi,
If the issue is only with Firefox, you can try disabling (uncheck) '''Use hardware acceleration when available''' in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Options''' > '''Advanced''' > '''General'''. -

I have no idea where to start on trying to fix it. Can somebody please help me on where to start on fixing it
You might want to try resetting its power management unit; see the following tech notes:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1895
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
The reason I'm suggesting this is that some startup settings are stored and preserved by a tiny battery that lasts about 5 years, inside the computer. When that battery dies, the computer may forget things like what time it is and which disk to start up from. If your Mac is around 5 years old or more, that little battery might be on its way out.
If you can't revive the Mac, don't panic. You can remove its internal hard drive and put it inside a USB/FireWire enclosure so that it can be hooked up to another Mac, and then you can use or copy all of the files and music off of it (assuming the startup problem has nothing to do with the hard drive). -

Apple Care is useless when it comes to over the phone help...
I called applecare the other day because randomly my macbook wasnt starting up completely and would stop at a blank white screen rather then the apple logo with a spinning gear.
After being on hold for 35 minutes I finnally got to talk to a representative. The women walked me through a couple different possible fixes for my problem but none of them worked. Everything she sugested was something I either already tried or already found in the manual. After putting me on hold for another 5 minutes she said that my macbook needed to be sent in to be repaired. After just getting my macbook back from repair for a hinge problem, I was not ready to give it up just yet.
Instead of sending me a box to ship my macbook into applecare she connected me to this number that she claimed could possibly just send me a new macbook which would be fine with me since I have everything backed up. I was connected to the COMPLETELY wrong number and was speaking to somebody about order status...***? This new rep had no idea why I was transfered to that number and said I need to call applecare back and she was really sorry.
So anyways, to make a long story short I decided to take matters into my own hands and went down to the local apple store. Since the store is always busy I couldnt get help that day but the next moring I was able to get my appointment in.
The apple genious at the genious bar did something called like reseting the PRU...not sure what it actually was but it worked and took him about 3 minutes to get my macbook to work completely fine again.
Ok I'm done complaining now...but the moral is dont always trust what applecare says...I saved myself about a week being without my macbook just by taking it into someone at the apple store who knew what he was doing.Well she told me to do the thing with holding down the "c" key and trying to boot off the disk. She also had me press another key combination while it tried to start up, but that didn't work either.
The man at the genius bar did something with the power adapter plugged into the laptop without my battery. He opened some sort of log and scanned my hard drive. All of this was not suggested by the applecare woman on the phone, and the apple genius showed me how to fix it myself if the problem happens again although I dont remember every step.
