FireFox keeps telling me that it can't find a server. It will sit there and think for sometimes as long as a minute when loading a page. Is this a router, modem, airport, hardware, or software problem?

Pages sometimes take as long as a minute to load. Other times they're just "there" like they should be.
I don't know what info would be helpful in figuring this out. It's not a certain website or time of day. I've got cable internet, a netgear router, and an arris modem. I'm running OS 10.5.8 and I believe I have all the current updates for the airport.

Are you talking about Locations? Not that, i meant the list on the left, use the - and + buttons at the bottom to delete/add connections ... deleting the old connection and creating a new one always works for me. Click the AirPort and click - then click + and add a new AirPort and configure it.

  • I recently bought Mac book air and was doing a fresh install of 10.7 and I erased my hard drive and now want to reinstall osx but it keeps telling me that it can't find install information for this machine and to call AppleCare.

    Any one have any suggestions?? AppleCare is closed right now

    Hmmmm... 
    When you say OSX, which version do you want to reinstall? 
    Was the MacBook Air new when you bought it?  Did it originally come with Lion?  Mountain Lion? 
    When you say you erased your hard drive, did something go wrong while you were installing Lion? 
    Were you installing it from a file downloaded from the App Store, or from another source?
    When you press and hold "Option" while you boot up, does "Recovery" come up as an option to boot your computer?
    If so, you can reinstall Lion from the recovery part of the drive and (hopefully) everything should be fine.
    Let me know if you still need a hand with your MacBook and we'll see if we can get you going again.

    You will have to upgrade your operating system version and possibly your whole computer.  We cannot provide more information easily until we know more about your system.
    Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About This Mac", then "More Info..."  Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).
    Apple does tell you about required equipment for the iPhone -- in 8 point medium gray type on a light gray box.   The Store associates kind of automatically assume everybody is running a new model computer and the one I met when we bought our iPhone had never seen a pre-2008 Mac and was somewhat puzzled why anybody would own such an antique.

  • Firefox keeps telling me that I have an outdated Firefox, I keep downloading Firefox 4, but Firefox keeps repeating the outdated message. How do I activate Firefox 4?

    I do not understand what more information you require. I have downloaded Firefox 4 four times, but Firefox keeps telling me that I am using an outdated Firefox!

    Please do the following.<br><br>
    #Go to [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/?ref=logo Download Firefox 4.0.1] and download the installation file to your desktop.<br><br>
    #Then go to Add/Remove Programs, scroll down to "Mozilla Firefox" and remove it, choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc., (''don't checkmark the box'').<br><br>
    #Then reboot and delete the folder called "Mozilla Firefox" at this location: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox<br><br>
    #Finally run the installation file you downloaded to the desktop earlier.<br>
    Your bookmarks, customizations etc., are maintained in a different location and will become available to you again once you complete the installation.<br><br>
    After you complete the installation, please go to the [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ Plugins Check] page and update where necessary.

  • I frequently get the message that "safari can't find the server" or "you ate not connected to internet" when I definitely am.

    Why do I frequently get the messages that "Safari can't find the server" or "Your are not connected the the Internet" when I definitely am. This happens most frequently when I try to access the App. Store.

    I'd try the following document with that one, debra:

    Safari does have occasional work carried out and there could have been some recently. 
    Incidentally, your profile is a little out, I think you mean 10.9.1 Mavericks for your OS, not iOS 7.0.4. which is for ipads, phones etc.  (A bit picky of me because you did say late 2013)
    Thanks for the star.

    Hello Susanne.
    You may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
    If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.

  • TS1436 When I try to durn a CD, I get a message that iTunes can't find CD Burner. I have downloaded and re-installed latest wersion for Windows 8 several times, to no anvail. What to do next?

    I suddenly can't burn a CD in iTunes. It says it can't find the CD burner. I have previously burned a CD successfully, when I converted a vinyl to CD. I have re-installed the latest iTunes (version 11.x, 64 bit, for Windows 8)  several times. Still no dice. What to do next?

    Hi 10sMan,
    It sounds like you may have a device filter causing you to see that issue.  I recommend this article to help troubleshoot not being able to find the CD burner:

  • Why can I send email from my iPad, but my iMac which is connected to the same modem keeps telling me that it can't send the message using the same server?

    I have an iPad 2, connecting via Wifi to an Actiontec Q1000 modem.  The iMac (3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB 1067 MHz RAM, running OS 10.8.2) is also hard wired to the same modem.  Internet access is via CenturyLink.  Main email is from Shaw cable in Calgary (Phoenix is a vacation property), not through CenturyLink.
    Can receive email on the iMac, but every time I try to send, I get a pop up saying "Cannot send message using the server .......".  Further prompts me to verify the address in the email, and SMTP settings in Mail preferences, or to select a different outgoing mail server.  I've tried using a number of servers, always the same result.
    Using same settings in both devices.

    Mail is not my forte, but what I noticed was that you have Centurylink and presumably have your Mail set up with their settings? But then you mention Shaw/vacation property/etc - you can send out email only through the server that you have set up as an account using the ISP you are using. If you switch places, do you have separate accounts set up with both Centurylink and Shaw so you can switch and use whichever one you're at? A Phoenix ISP won't work with a Mail POP account unless you're in your home - Phoenix - area.
    Do you have a data plan with your iPad? That would explain why that works - it'll function sort of like a cellphone - works anywhere where there are signals.

  • Why does Firefox keep telling me that it is using too much memory, (eg: 235MB) and I should restart Firefox?

    Lately Firefox has been popping up a warning while I am on the internet saying, that "Firefox" is using too much memory. It suggests shutting down Firefox and restarting Firefox. It also told me how much memory that is in use at that time. It is usually about 235MB or more. What is normal memory use for Firefox to use while I am on the internet? Does high usage mean that some other person is trying to get into my computer?

    You appear to have AVG installed:
    *See --> http://forums.avg.com/ww-en/avg-forums?sec=thread&act=show&id=173969#post_173969
    From reading on the internet, it appears that when there is a spike in memory usage, AVG "interprets" that as a memory leak, possibly caused by malware. AVG could be incorrect concerning that assumption. Maybe they are being a bit too conservative about memory usage; just my opinion.
    The decision is yours to turn off the "advisor" or leave it on.
