Hello,
Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
#Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
#Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
#Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
# Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. <br/> <br/>[[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] <br/>
# Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
# Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
# Restart Firefox.
This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
Does this solve the problem? Let us know.
</blockquote>
thank you for responding.
this does not solve my problem, as i mentioned the problem is with the HTML5 player, i've been using flash player since forever and used to open up to 50 tabs without having any problems, with the new default html5 thingy i cannot open a couple of tabs without the browser dying slowly.. my original question was how can i disable the HTML5 player and make the flash player be the default player

I have now downloaded all of my CD's to my itunes library and have since only purchased new music using itunes Store. This itunes library is stored on an old Dell Desktop that I am getting ready to replace with an iMac; how can I move the music? 86GB
Is the music I downloaded from my CD's already in the iCloud or only the music I purchased on itunes?

Remove age from birthday notification: I don't know the years most of my contacts were born, so I keep getting a default year 2000 birthdate. How can I turn off the age (xxth birthday) in Birthday Calendar - it really is very annoying!

Where do you see the default birthday showing as Nov. 30? If you can explain that, I can probably modify the below script to do that clean up.
In response to the original problem:
I'm not sure why I missed the original reply, but here is an Applescript that will change all the years of any selected contacts to 1604 (default for no year).
tell application "Contacts"
          set thePeople to selection
          repeat with aPerson in thePeople
                    set theDate to birth date of aPerson
                    if theDate is not missing value then
                              set the year of theDate to 1604
                              set birth date of aPerson to theDate
                    end if
          end repeat
end tell
copy and paste it into a new Applescript Editor document. Select all the contacts you want to change (in Contacts), then run this script by clicking on the green Run button in Applescript Editor.

I keep getting my browser is no longer supported. how can I upgrade from mac os x 10.6.8

I keep getting my browser is no longer supported. how can I upgrade from mac os x 10.6.8 . Any help would be appreciated

Open the Mac App Store and try downloading Yosemite. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.

A photo upload application in my business software will no longer work, as I keep getting the message "Application Error General Exception"; how can I fix this?

Continuing from the original question above...
The full error message reads:
Application Error
General Exception
Name: com.aurigma.imageuploader.ImageUploader
ClassNotFoundException: com.aurigma.imageuploader.ImageUploader.class
This seems to be tied in with an update to Java 7, but my software won't allow me to proceed w/o the update. As soon as I update Java, the system gets corrupted and I just continually get the above message. I've done all I know to do, and I'm on my 4th 'restore', all the way back to June 14th. I really need this resolved, as my livelihood depends, in part on uploading pix I take in the field.
I'm using a 2.3Gh dual-core PC w/ 4 Gs of RAM on a totally updated WIndows XP operating system using Mozilla Firefox.
PLEASE, if there's a fix readily available, or if you can help me find one, I would be most seriously grateful.
Thank you!!!

Does this software run in Firefox, or is it a stand-alone program?
Assuming it is a stand-alone program:
If you need to stick with an older version of Java until that software is updated, you can disable Java in your web browers to protect against its vulnerabilities. Naturally this will disable some website features (for example, this uploader on sites that use it). To disable Java in all browsers, you can use the Java control panel, security tab and uncheck the box to use Java in browsers.
(I don't know whether that takes effect immediately or after exiting and restarting the browsers.)

I keep getting drafts of mail I send. How can I prevent this?

Just upgraded to snow leopard...In my mail, each time I send a message it duplicates a copy in my drafts folder.
How can I prevent this from happening?

Would also like to know. Getting annoying!

Firefox keeps getting slower and slower as the day goes on

It's exactly as the title suggests - it works fine first thing in the morning, then gradually gets slower as the day goes on. Last night, for example, I couldn't get on any sites for love nor money - all it kept saying was 'transferring to...' 'loading...' whatever site I was going on, YouTube videos keep freezing etc (I have to keep pausing and waiting for the little grey bar to extend a little; such a trivial thing, yet so annoying! I also unchecked the 'Use hardware acceleration where possible' thing in 'Options', to no avail).
I've done all the usual tests (scan, virus checks etc), all of which have come back perfectly clear. I used Internet Explorer, yet that works perfectly OK, aside from a little slowness in getting a page to load, but I think I'm using a rather dated version of IE (I got my computer September 2012, and this version of IE was already installed on there!), so maybe that's to blame.
I've reset Firefox, to no avail. It's getting on my nerves!! The YouTube part of my problem only started Wednesday night, and the slowness of Firefox started yesterday. As bizarre as it may seem, may the weather be causing the Internet to go slow, as it is unbelievably hot and humid here in the UK at the moment! I remember my Mum saying she had the same problem around this time last year when it was boiling hot!
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Poke around safe web sites. Are there any problems?. Then restart.

Firefox keep lagging,freezing and crashing since update 4 when many tabs opened (3 windows, about 150-200 tabs total)

After upgrading to FF4 problems with flash plugin started, even gif animation keeps lagging. With so much tabs previous version could perfectly manage. I have a 4-core processor, so 64-bit version would be awesome

Because you still have problems with Firefox in safe mode, I think the problem
is with something in the computer. Check that everything is updated. Even
if you are sure it is.

Upgraded to Maverick itunes wont work and keep getting the message about 64 bit mode how can i resolve this

32 bit mode not checked so guess this is a problem that others are having. How do I fix it Anybody managed to resolve this ?

Hi No I am on 10.9.2 I spoke ot apple support and updated itunes to the latest version but am still getting the message Any ideas?

The letters on my firefox is getting smaller everytime i'm on it. how can i restore the size and how do I stop it from shrinking?

the letters are shrinking and i can barely read them. how do i restore the size and how do i prevent this from happening?

In case it is zoom, you can try resetting the zoom level by pressing Ctrl+0 (that Ctrl and zero). Zoom can be changed by scrolling the mouse wheel while holding the Ctrl key. There also seen to be some touchpad swiping techniques that can change zoom even without holding the Ctrl key. If you can figure out what's causing it, there might be a way to turn it off.
If resetting zoom doesn't restore the text size, does it affect all sites? Particular fonts?

I continue to get error 306 when trying to access the iTunes store. I have tried the numerous things listed by Apple to no avail. Does anyone know how to resolve this issue..

Perhaps try the iTunes Store loads partially or returns "Error 306" or "Error 10054" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document:

My "Hanging with Friends" app keeps crashing whenever I try to open it. I have deleted and re-downloaded the app, restarted my iPhone, and even restored my iPhone all together, and nothing is working. How can I get this app to work again?

Can you start Firefox in [[Safe mode]] ?
You can also do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that 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.
You can initially skip the step to create a new profile, that may not necessary for this issue.
