Firefox is "not responding" when I open it from my desktop.

PLEASE HELP.... When I click on Mozilla Firefox from my desktop to open it the Home Page/Yahoo comes up but will not go any further when I click on something or attempt to open another tab. At the top it states (Not Responding). I have to go into the Task Manager to close it down.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

After effects cs 5.5 not responding when I open up a project file

I was recently working on an intro for a youtube channel and my project had been running smoothly the night before. But now all of a sudden I open it up today and it starts not responding when I try and open the file. It is running on a mac with 8 GB of memory and a 2.1 GHz intel i7 processor, I have no idea what's happening and I really need help. Thank you for your time.

I can understand that my info was vague, but I am as well a novice in after effects. I have a good bit of experience with it, but not a professional standard. I have 1 video file of average length, a photoshop file, and a word layer, no other effects really. My comp size is 1280 by 720, and I don't know what other info I could give. My other projects run fine, it seems to just be this one now that you mention it. Should I try starting a new project and just working off of that? I can understand that you need to know a lot more, but I was also just asking a general question because I felt that it might be common issue of a setting that I may have had to change, so I'm sorry my info was so vague, but that was my reasoning. I don't believe that saving and backups are my problem, but if you believe it's a means to the solution then by all means please justify that. Thank your for your time and help.

Everytime i open Mozilla Firefox Version 15.0.1 it always seem to crash or not respond when it opens.

It always stops working everytime when i open it and i cant do nothing about it. I Tried uninstalling and installing it but it keeps repeating itself and keeps lagging.

Started having a similar problem on a freshly-imaged corporate PC where we do not have local admin and have to install Firefox inside the local Windows profile directory. Some people have the problem, others don't. Only with certain sites, but seems to be most sites. When it hangs on a site, it does so immediately, and you can't even X out of the window - you have to kill the task. Same in safe mode.
I tried uninstalling, rebooting, deleting %userprofile%\appdata\local\Mozilla and \Mozilla Firefox, reinstalling, and no go, no matter whether I choose to import from IE or not.
Also, have the same issue with Firefox at home on a separate Windows box starting at about the same time as I and a couple users here noticed this. Would seem like an update.

Firefox does not respond when trying to upload photos or files to Facebook, Google+, or similar sites.

When trying to upload photos to various websites, Firefox brings up the pop up to view and select locations on your computer, but it never fully loads, it just kinda freezes, never allowing you to select files. I eventually get a 'This program is not responding' message and have to force close.

Second times a charm!!!
Maybe the link I had 1st time had a bug or something... I had installed it, restarted computer and all, exactly same process... and it had done nothing.
But download page wasn't the same. Real weird.
Good thing is, now it works!
So to anyone who has had same problem, tried the "patch download" solution and didn't have any success (like me previously - which is why I posted)... TRY AGAIN! The link above works!
Thanks

Firefox will not respond when trying to delete history.

When I go to "clear recent history" and click on "clear now" it immediately states that the program is not responding. Does the same after reboot. It's not letting me clear my history, and I've tried 6 times, all with the same results... I have to close the program from the task manager. Is there a fix?

How much history do you have?
You can type a common character like a colon (:) in the search bar in the History Manager (Library).
You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.

Mozilla seem to be losing the plot. In the past, people expected Microsoft to release software which contained security problems and then re-release it, only for it not to work properly. Now it appears Mozilla is taking over that role! And the solution to this? Install a Beta version, a version still under development!
I suspect that the very great majority of software users look for stability, for a program which works well and meets their immediate needs and which will continue to do so for some time - certainly months rather than, as it appears, days, before a new, "improved" version is developed. Maybe Mozilla should think along these lines; meanhwile, I'm going back to the latest 15 release.

Mac is running SUPER Slow, applications not responding when i open them, Beachballs everywhere

Whenever i open an application (Take Google chrome for an example) it bounces like 20+ times, then on activity monitor it says "Application Not Responding". Whenever i type too fast on spotlight or finder, my whole desktop freezes, im suspecting this can be maybe HDD failure, i have repaired my MacintoshHD probably 3 times this past week. I have 150GB free out of a 250GB hdd, and i have 4 GB RAM. PLEASE HELP! Im currently enrolled in college and this is vital and needs to be fixed ASAP.

Application Not Responding When I Open a Library

Clearly Final Cut Pro 10.1 created libraries when I upgraded.
I have a collection of critical clip projects on an external drive which were put into a Library.
Every time I attempt to open them — from inside or outside the app — then the program freezes and I have to force quit.
Is this upgrade just dreck, or do I not know what the **** I'm doing?
I have a TON of work that was so easy to access and work with in the previous version. Now I'm dead in the water.
Help.

That almost sounds like Final Cut did this automatically before you had a chance to open it for the first time. Is that the case or were you initially able to work within the app after updating? (If you've never been able to open it, then skip over the next paragraph.)
If the app opened for you initially, you should have gotten a dialogue window asking you whether you wanted to update all or some of your projects and events now or to update later. If you clicked Update All, it should have created a library for every mounted drive and event for each library called Updated Projects. Did you try to open any or all of the Updated Projects events? Did you move any of the files among events and/or libraries – either in the app or in the Finder? Did you do any
Also, for each mounted drive FCPX should have created a folder in the Finder called Old Projects and Events. Can you find the folders?
Do you have a backup of 10.0.9 – either that you archived or from a Time Machine (or some other utility) BU you could restore from?

Firefox keeps 'Not Responding' when I try to load something

When I close and open Firefox again when I go to a website and for example I go to click on a picture, it doesn't crash but it doesn't respond and after about 30 seconds it works, this happens a lot now and I have reset my firefox but still it keeps doing this and it is quite annoying. After sometime it seems to settle in and it works, but I would rather this not happen because this has never happened before.

My iTunes keeps freezing/not responding when I open the program?

I am trying to restore my mum's iPod nano after it just died and won't work- but everytime I open iTunes it crashes! It works for about 1 minute of use before it stops responding and I have to end task, but then when I try and re-open the program it doesn't open unless I plug my own iPod in!
Someone help me try and fix this- mum wants her iPod back and I want my iTunes working again!
My computer operating system is Windows 7
iTunes is the latest update (I think). Any solutions?

I tookyour suggestion and SUCCESS! I can now access the Itunes Store. A simple fix, and thanks so much!!.
Below is the advice you forwarded:
I found a solution to my problem.
> start menu
> accessories,
> right click on the command prompt icon and choose "run as administrator".
Once it opens, type in the following command...
netsh winsock reset
hit enter
You should get a message that the winsock reset successful and you will need to reboot your computer.
Reboot and when I reloaded itunes the store loaded fine.
Thanks again, -Dean Stoneburner

You cannot use Internet Explorer on Windows Vista to run Web Forms.
But you CAN run web forms through Netscape or Firefox. But you first need to disable Java in the browser.
And to run OC4J on Vista, you need to set its compatibility mode to Windows XP.
See my notes on OC4J and "Browser Settings" in this thread: 
Forms 10g installed and running on Windows Vista

ITunes not responding when I open it

After not using iTunes for about a week, I opened it and was prompted to download the most recent version of iTunes. I did so, and followed the commands throughout the downloading process (or so I thought), but now when I click to open iTunes, it does not do anything. Even when I connect my iPod to my computer, it iTunes does not open or recognize it. What should I do? If I remove and reinstall iTunes, will I lose all the music already on there?

Im having the same problem. I always open up the Windows Task Manager. When I click on the shortcut, ITunes appears in the Processes Tab, but then disappears after a few seconds. This has been happening to me for about a year, and i used to be able to open it by following the instructions below:
1) Go to "start" and click "run"
2) Type in "msconfig" and click OK
3) Click on the "servives" tab
4) MAKE SURE TO CHECK "hide all microsoft services"
5) Click on "disable all"
6) Check "Ipod Service"
7) Click on the "Startup" tab
8) Press "Disable All"
9) Check "Itunes Helper" and "qttask"
10) Click OK and Restart
I hope this helps. In the past i have been able to use this, but i guess there's a different problem with my iTunes this time. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
Hope i helped!
