Firefox jumping back and forth in time Mac

I have the most up-to-date version of Firefox (11.0 if I recall correctly) and Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) updated on my . I have just recently been having an issue where firefox seems to jump back and forth through time. The time difference is at most a minute or two, but it gets very frustrating.
For example, while I am writing this question, Firefox will jump back to a point where only half of the first paragraph is written, jump back to the 'present', jump back a bit, and then return to the 'present'. This happens with scrolling through websites as well.
I updated yesterday because I bought Diablo III and wanted to make sure everything was current to let it install smoothly (which it didn't... >.<). I noticed upon the restart that my background will switch to a blue background from my picture. When I try to change the background back, it will revert to the blue background after 5 seconds or so. Perhpas this is related to the Firefox issue?

Same specs here, but not seeing the issue you are describing, I suspect yours is a isolated issue.

Well lets eliminate Firefox and the add-ons/plug-ins as a possibility first.
1: User Firefox to uninstall all add-ons, then uninstall FF.
2: Use Safari to check the status of your Flash and other plug-ins using this site
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
3: Install FF again, then install your add-ons over time, one at a time, to try to determine when the problem occurs.

Sounds like another issue, but localized to that particular account.
Create another user in System Preference and see if it continues there as well.
You can delete your
com.apple.systempreferences.plist
file in your User/Library/Preferences folder and reboot, the file will be recreated minus your preferences which you reset.
Also download and run all of the free OnyX's mainatainance and cleaning aspects and reboot at the end (must), your machine will get a enema of sorts that might clear up the glitch.

When I open certain emails the scroll bars at the side and bottom flash and jump back and forth along with the email content

I recently upgraded to the latest version of Yahoo mail. Ever since then when I open certain emails the scroll bars jump back and forth and flash. This happens when I open my AT&T bill or something from Amazon for instance. A message appears at the bottom such as "Transferring data from mail.yimg.com", or "us.bc.yahoo.com". This doesn't happen when I use Safari.

Compressor frame count jumping back and forth

Hi guys,
I've never noticed this before, until last night when compressing a 25-minute film in Compressor at 'DVD-90 minutes, high-quality'. What in the past on this film might take an hour or so, last night took about 14 hours (i.e. all evening and through the night).
Compressor was advancing through the frame count, but then would return to an earlier frame, then jump forward through the frames again, then jump back to 10 or so frames earlier, advance forward, go back, etc. It took ages for it to get through a dozen frames or so.
It seems to me in the past when I observed Compressor, it works its way consecutively through frames, advancing forward one frame at a time.
I guess Compressor was reinterpreting data from an earlier frame, but is this normal? My film only has one of two video layers, up to 8 audio layers, some imported Motion QT files, and a very large PICT image file (scrolling end credits).
When examing the frame count where Compressor seemed to get bogged down, it appears it was towards the end of the 25-min. film (around the 42,000 mark). It seemed to be stuck there, jumping back and forth all night. Must have been when it was trying to digest the PICT end credits... Eventually it did complete the task and the export was OK.
If Compressor is having problems with the PICT (?), perhaps I'll test this out by putting my end credits on a seperate FCP sequence, export them as a QT file, then re-import that back into my film and see if Compressor is happier...
Any thoughts?

Ongoing changes? What do you mean exactly? Anytime you add filters to a clip and render you are slightly lowering the quality...slightly. But exporting, expecially via Compressor, will add even more. How many changes are you making?

Is it better to use just one project or to jump back and forth?

Greetings,
I am using Captivate 4. And I am wondering if it is better to use just one project or to jump back and forth?
I have one main project and rather than make one big project, I wondered about jumping off to small projects and returning to the main one.
I was trying to figure out the suggestion of jumping back to slide 10 and jump off to another project and then back to slide 20.
Do the projects have to be published to see this work?
I am just learning about Captivate so I am unsure of the best practices.
Thanks.

It's not that easy in Captivate projects to jump to a particular slide midway through another project. Captivate is set up by default to just launch each project from the first slide.
There have been workarounds published on this forum that allowed jumping into the middle of another project, but they can require some complex coding in either JavaScript or ActionScript.

How to jump Back and Forth?

In C, we can use the "goto" keyword in combination with a label to jump back and forth to anywhere within a method. However, how do I implement this mechanism in Java?

Take a good book of structured programming and they'll tell you the answer: You don't!. If you are so eager to do it anyways, you can do it with pseudo-loops. But don't blame me if you can't read your code after two days:
l1: do {
continue l1; // jump back to beginning of loop
break l1; // jump behind the loop
} while(false);

Eclipse: Jumping Back and Forth

I often use the built-in <F3> shortcut to jump to a method or class definition, which is a useful feature.
Then I want to jump back to where I just came from. Is there a way to do that?
Thanks,

I don't know of a hotkey (doesn't mean there isn't one) but there are little yellow arrows on the toolbar to do this.

For a few months now my ical keeps jumping back and forth. It's very hard to use my calendar as it doesn't open on today, it may stay a few seconds and then it goes backwards to random dates and forwards. It doesn't sit still so I can see what I have on

My iCal is driving me nuts.
It won't sit still when I am looking at my calender. I try holding it still with one finger, two fingers and it just moves. It jumps to random dates and I have no confidence in it any longer. I use my calendar all the time and this just isn't good enough.
I have gone into the apple store and they said they hadn't seen that before. It did it while I was there. They restored the phone and it didn't make any difference.
I have turned the calendar off in settings - mail - icloud - deleted and then turned back on again. It didn't help.
I put the Google Calendar app on in the hopes I would have a calendar that wouldn't frustrate me and it is so slow in responding, I have deleted it.
I see online that many others are having the same problem with their iCal.
It would be great to know the solution.
Please help

Hey everyone in Apple world!
I figured out how to fix the flashing yellow screen problem that I've been having on my MBP! Yessssss!!!
I found this super handy website with the golden answer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
I followed the instructions on this page and here's what I did:
Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
I went through the 6 steps above twice, just to make sure I got rid of whatever stuff was holding up my bootup process. Since I did that, my MBP boots up just like normal. No flashing yellow screen anymore!!
(Note that I arrived at this solution when I first saw this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570?viewlocale=en_US)
Let me know if this works for you!

Remote workflowhow to keep sending packages back and forth multiple times?

I'm a designer and I've gotten one of my clients to purchase InCopy to make their own edits to a project. My question is what to tell my client about how to save the incp package on the second round... We've successfully gone through one round of edit, I've made changes, and I've sent the package back to her. But, now she's run into trouble with my changes not showing on her document. Can someone describe how she should be opening the second package? And she wants to keep an archive of the older files, of course. I think that's where the problem lies.
thanks!

Actually I think he's (the OP) is encountering a more subtle problem.
After updating your ID file with the editor's changes (the returned .indp), you're saying you edit the ID file, save changes (updating the assignment as necessary), then select his assignment and package it again for InCopy, right?
When the editor opens the new .incp you send, InCopy unpackages it into an InCopy Assignments folder on his hard drive. On Windows the folder in in My Documents; on Macs it's in the user's Documents folder.
The InCopy Assignments folder contains subfolders, one for each .incp the editor has ever unpacked. Each subfolder carries the same name as *the assignment as shown in the Assignments panel* (not the same name as the .incp, and not the same name as the actual .inca file, which could be different).
If you didn't change the name of the assignment in InDesign (by clicking its name in the Assignments panel) when you packaged it up the second time, then when your editor unpacks it, InCopy sees that the unpacked folder already exists in his InCopy Assignments folder. So it opens *that* assignment. And so your editor doesn't see your changes.
I think it's a bug.
The fix is for you as the designer to change the name of the Assignment in the Assignments panel before you re-package it. Do this each time you send out the same assignment as a package. You could just add "v2" or "v3" after the name if you want.
Note that this does not change the name of the actual .inca file. The new name is carried in one of the supporting xml files that are created when entries in the Assignments panel are renamed.
I've found that if you do this, when the editor receives the new .incp file and unpacks it, InCopy creates a *new* subfolder in the editor's InCopy Assignments folder, and the new folder has the same name as the renamed assignment. When the assignment opens in InCopy the editor will see your changes.
See if that helps or not.

Jumping back and forth, probably because some keyboard shortcut.

this is the 3rd time i m typing this is it keeps going back for no obvious reason. i wrote that i think it go something to do with the backspace button as it is used for going back, but sometime it does it without the backspace. just minute ago i started typing "happening" and it jumped 3 pages back. sometimes it causes what i wrote to disappear, anyway, it drives me nuts.

Jumping back and forth, LR and CS3

I do most of my work in LR 2.5 but always go to CS3 to finish things up. At times I would like to take the incomplete image back to LR for some additional work and then again return to CS3. How do I go from CS3 to LR and then back again?

Save the image back from Photoshop CS3, apply additional edits to the saved file in Lightroom then choose Edit in Photoshop CS3 again. You will be presented with the dialog shown below. You want to choose Edit a Copy with Lightroom Adjustments.

Curson jumping and browser pages jumping back and forth

We've installed XP home edition and:
in all browser windows and some applications like iBank and Quicken when clicking an option the command executes and then I hear another click and the original window returns.
Other apps work fine for a while and then do the same thing.
We've checked normal mouse settings and cant resolve the problem.

One website is redirected to another url and they keep switching back and forth

When I try to open a particular site (nwherald.com), Firefox automatically switches between that url and m.nwherald.com. When loading, the two jump back and forth. This doesn't happen with any other url, and I can open nwherald.com just fine in IE. What gives. It's not much of a newspaper, but it's all we have.

Did this problem occur recently with Firefox? The link runs fine for me; do you have any Firewall rules or antivirus settings that may block links?
It is strange that it is trying to force you to a mobile site, and then back to a desktop version. Would you happen to have Flash disabled? I am wondering if the site is detecting a missing plugin and trying to bring you to a more compatible version.
When you go to the site, you can check if the Web Console shows any errors:
* Tools (or [[Image: New Fx Menu]] > Developer/Web Developer > Web Console
If it is redirecting too quickly, you can temporarily disable redirects:
* Tools (or [[Image: New Fx Menu]]) > Options > Advanced > General
* Check "Warn me when sites try to reload or redirect the page"
Also I doubt this is related to your problem, but I notice you have two versions of Adobe PDF Plug-ins:
* Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape 11.0.9
* Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape 11.0.8
Having multiple versions of the same plugin can cause problems as well.

Question on how to use a variable in report object's horizontal formula to shift back and forth at refresh interval.

Hello All;
I have an SSRS Report that displays some slider objects. The report auto-refreshes every 5 minutes.
This report is displayed on a big screen TV and I want to shift the images back and forth every time it refreshes to prevent possible burn-in on the screen.
I see you can use a formula on the Horizontal position of objects, and I think a variable that gets added 10 and then subtracted by 10 every refresh could be used to display the objects in different positions each iteration, but I don't know how to do that
in SSRS. I have read up on variables, and I think I need a global variable, but not sure how to update it on each refresh iteration.
I read the links on using Silverlight to shift things, but that adds a whole other level of complexity.
I could even do something in the DB and then pull that into the formula field if needed.
Thanks in advance.
