Firefox just disappears, my HD lights are running, Firefox comes back in 10-15 seconds. Sick of it doing this.

I am on Firefox 19. The previous versions have also had this problem. Firefox loads fine, but while on a webpage it just disappears from my screen, I see my HD light running, and Firefox reappears about 15 seconds later. This is very annoying. I can be in the middle of something important and it will do it. Starting to piss me off. I see this has been a common problem with Firefox since last year.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

HT5538 i can't find the facetime on my iphone i was using it before 1 month after that it's just disappear i need your help to get it back . thank you

hello everyone i need your help please
i can't find the facetime on my iphone i was using it before 1 month after that it's just disappear i need your help to get it back .
thank you

FACETIME MISSING
The governments in some middle eastern countries have banned Facetime and it is disabled on iphones purchased in those countries. The countries include KAS, UAE and others. There is no way to get Facetime on such phones (for example it cannot be downloaded and installed) and taking the phone to another country does not cause Facetime to reappear on such phones. In support.apple.com/kb/ts3367 it says “Note: FaceTime may not be available, or may become unavailable, on devices purchased or used in certain countries, including Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Check your device's region of purchase for more information.”

All my contacts just disappeared from my iPad can I get them back

Try a reset:
Hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple logo.

Should the admin/user folder and all of its sub folders be moved to the hdd or just parts of it? (eg. picture, movies, documents) What is the best way to go about doing this. Also should a 2t hdd be partitioned.

iMac with 256ssd and 2t hdd. Should the admin/user folder and all of its sub folders be moved to the hdd or just parts of it? (eg. picture, movies, documents) What is the best way to go about doing this. Also should a 2t hdd be partitioned.

Yes, you can move your user directories to the HD and keep your OSX and Applications on the SSD drive.
Whether you partition your HD or not depends on how much data you have and how you propose to use your HD.
Are you planning to use your iMac as a Time Machine backup volume? If so, partition it off.
Do you have huge data files, eg video, music, photos?
How much of your 2tb drive will be "free" once it is loaded with all your data?
A little more information is required before the optimal configuration can be recommended for your use.

Nano shuts off during run then comes back on

I purchased the Nike+ ipod kit in late December 2006. I love the product and it has been great for motivating me to run. I am currently at 400 miles and during the last week I have experienced issues with the kit and do not know what this is from.
The issue is losing run data while I am running.
I am running and everything is working fine and then at around 6 miles or around 50 minutes in the iPod turns off mid song (goes to Apple screen) and comes back on and all my data is gone. This occurred 2 times in the last 4 days and I lost over 12 miles - so now it seems to be demotivating. The iPod battery life is full or near full when this occurs. The Nike plus is 3 months or 400 miles old.
What could be causing this problem to occur? I really like this as a training partner but I need it to be reliable. Please advise what it is that that problem could be.
Thanks.

I learned that some podcasts can cause this. I deleted some recently downloaded podcasts, and this exact problem was solved on my nano. So, I would try clearing any recent audio you added, taking yourself back to the contents prior to finding the problem.

I was quite surprised by that. And I've been off for a little because I've been giving final exams at the college where I work. Now with break I will be spending a little more time on here until I have to start getting ready for the Spring semester. I have experienced a couple of interesting posters in the past week though. I wa afraid one was going to reach through the CAT 5 and grab me around the neck.

You'll need to upgrade to Parallels Desktop 7 to regain compatibility. Good luck....

The scroll bar on the top pane of my email (I use AT&T Yahoo) suddenly disappeared. How do I make it come back?

The top pane of my email window lists my emails. It always had a scroll bar on the right side, allowing me to scroll down the list of emails. Yesterday, it just disappeared. I still have a scroll bar in the bottom pane, where I read a specific email, but none in the top pane. Had tech support from AT&T, but found that since scroll bar is there in Internet Explorer, it's not my email program that's the problem, but FireFox.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: Command+Shift+F).
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-to-use-full-screen
If you are in full screen mode then hover the mouse to the top of the screen to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear. 
Click the Maximize button (top right corner of the Navigation Toolbar) to leave full screen mode or right-click empty space on a toolbar and choose "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press the F11 key.

HT4908 Just purchased iPad 2,want to download photos from MacBook.we have different e-mail address. Does this cause a problem?

Finding my way around my new ipad2. I have an iCloud account to transfer photos from our MacBook to my iPad. Having problems doing this.

Hi
1. To download Photos from your Macbook to your iPad you use iTunes to sync photos. And to download photos from your iPad2 to your computer you use a USB cable and iPhoto on your Mac.
2. For Photostream both devices need to be on the same iCloud Apple ID to allow Photostreaming to work. Is that what you mean by downloading? Photostream ismore commonly used to share photos bwteen devices
iCloud is only supported on newer versions of OSX - what version is your Macbook running?
What is the exact problem you are having??
Cheers

I want a song i purchased on ipad with my apple id transferred to our family computer which is registered to my husbands apple id. But a message comes up saying 90days before can download? What does this mean i just want to play my song through the mac

I want a song purchased on my ipad with my apple id downloaded onto our home mac mini. So i can listen to it via that computer. However the mac is registered to my husbands apple id and it comes up with a message about 90days wait needed or something. What does this mean? And how do I get one measly song downloaded?!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
It sounds like you are trying to change your login in the Tunes store through iTunes on your computer, which you can only do once in 90 days, which you don't need to do for this.
What does your iPad usually sync with.

My iPhoto just disappeared from my dock. I want it back

The subject above says it all. I was using it AM and switched from Safari to Firefox, and it disappeared. Yes; I've used it on Firefox, and it was in my Dock

Very simple to add any app to your Dock. Simply locate the app in the Applications folder and drag it to the Dock.

Firefox 4 does not update the location of bookmarks when moved anymore, Is this just me? I have to leave and come back for the effect to hit.

Ubuntu latest version. I remember it working with a Firefox beta, but not anymore.

Complaint on Adobe support - no one is really able to help and just keep saying will escalate the matter and come back in 2-3 days but of course never.

Understand this is a formum not a platform for complaint but I am just so frustrated and also found that Adobe has escaped every route and successfully avoided us contacting them so I have to steam out my anger here so that everyone is aware of their service level and best to avoid them in future.
I have so frustrated that I am not able to get any useful help from Abobe customer service rep who chatted twice with me on the below issue. I have subscribed to the PS + LR for one year since Aug and has not been able to use it since then but you have already charged to my credit card the amount. Brief summary of my case:
I subscribe and paid for one year PS+LR with order number 8853917659 on Aug 22 2014, payment charged to my credit card, then I downloaded the PS and LR, and could only use the trail version with only 30 days then after that I can use it. I checked with Adobe chat people and found out there was no subscription record in my account but the subscription order was processed and payment also processed, but the system just failed to registered my subscription record under my account so making me seems not have any subscription thus I cannot use the PS + LR. I am very sure I have logged in PS using my same email that was used for the subscription but still it only tell me that my trial period has expired but that shouldn’t be the case as I have really paid and subscribed to the one year service for PS+LR.
For this matter, I have been contacting the chat room people named Sumanth on Dec 27 case number #0214518729 while he promised he will escalate and someone will response in 2-3 days, no one show up. Then on Jan 4, I chat with another service rep named Tabassum case number #0214558799, he just repeat the same whole process and said will escalate and someone will response in 2-3 days, and yet again, on one show up.
I don’t know how many times I need to repeat this game and has no hope of someone helping me. Adobe just can take our money and do nothing and leaving us helpless. There is no contact email on Adobe website and no complaint channel. All they provided is only the chat which is ridiculously useless.
I searched the web and just realized how many similar complaints that people have towards Adobe in their customer service level and I am not the only one. I am totally losing faith in them and will be taking all my best effort to avoid them.
I am just trying my last hope to write to this email and see if anyone from Adobe is reading and show their care to their customers and do something here to fix my issue.

As you state this is a user forum. Only Adobe can help with orders and registration. Adobe program support is very poor but one thing their Customer support can handle are problems like yours. While it hard to get to Adobe Customer Support phone number frome links in Photoshop and on Adobe.com. Finding it through Google is seconds away.

Firefox shortcut on desktop is displaying a padlock. What does this mean and how do I get rid of it?

The Firefox shortcut on my desktop is displaying a padlock. It did not have this earlier today and I have no idea where it came from or what it means. When opening Firefox with this shortcut the page is then outlined in red. Does anybody know what has caused this and how to get rid of it?
== This happened ==
Just once or twice
== Today about 30 minutes ago

Maybe your security software (anti-virus, firewall) is blocking Firefox.
Did you look in the settings there?
