Firefox kicks out or hangs with inactivity of the mouse in few seconds is there an easy rememdy

if i walk away from my computer and come back my firefox seems to be in a loop or it kicks out, the screen turns white and it never refreshes only way is to restart it and go back in
really is a pain because firefox is my default browser and i like it better than all the rest

While logged into another admin account, delete the bad account, selecting the save data option, recreate the bad account using the same username/password combo, log out and back into the new account. If the problem's are solved, open the saved data dmg file in /Users/Deleted Users/, open the /Library/Preferences/ folder from the saved data, open the current /Users/restored account/Library/Preferences/ folder, and slowly copy plist files from the saved data folder to the current one that don't exist in it. Log out and back in to ensure there's no conflict and things still work correctly. Resolving conflicts or identifying corrupt plist files is a laborious process. Good luck.

My mac seems to have a virus thats connected with a few apps i use and i can't use them without my computer glitching out even though i've reinstalled the apps a few times.

My mac seems to have a virus thats connected with a few apps i use and i can't use them without my computer glitching out even though i've reinstalled the apps a few times. It's very frusterating especially when i'm doing someting when my computer randomly freezes or justs logs out for no reason when i'm using the apps.

Matthew,
if you boot your MacBook Pro in Safe mode, do those apps still behave in the same way?

When I record with my iSight camera, after a few seconds it stops recording and tell me there is "Dropfame" images. What do I have to make?

A few weeks ago, my camera doesn't do that, but since 1-2 weeks it becomes impossible to record with it.

Firefox Version 36.0 Hanging with odd Script: chrome://browser/content/places/browserPlacesViews.js Errors / Lost all bookmarks including Sync.

Hello - Yesterday 4 different PC's updated automatically to Firefox Version 36.0, they are all Windows 7 x64 Systems with the latest patches, one of them is a work / corporate PC running a slightly older version (34 I believe).
Since the update all of my bookmarks have been lost and seems that sync got wiped out as well. I had a few thousand bookmarks all organized in folders and they are all gone. Whenever I click on the bookmark menu item firefox will hang and eventually give me the following error with different numbers at the end of the line (varies on each system as well as the same system). See attached for an example.
Script: chrome://browser/content/places/browserPlacesViews.js
Even if I start Firefox in Safemode I get the same results / behavior (the hanging) I can't even access the bookmarks menu to try and restore them from a backup. When I do that Firefox will hang and never come back, I have to go in to task manager and end the task.
I've tried "Refreshing" at work I tried uninstalling / installing the newest as well as a version 35 version of firefox and have the same exact issue. I removed all of the plugins, I've even tried a full on reset of firefox and have had no luck whatsoever .
It appears that I have lost about 10 years of various bookmarks but seem to have a somewhat up to date copy on one system with Chrome but Firefox won't even allow me to import the bookmarks as it will just hang.
I have Malwarebytes running on 3 of the systems, it hasn't found anything, I also have Microsoft Security essentials running and did full scans of each system and haven't found anything, there isn't any kind of add on / plug in that I can see that is causing this
Please help as I am now in a huge bind at work without all of my bookmarks!!!

Ok this did not resolve the issue, I downloaded the Places Maintenance Add on and ran it with all of the options selected, I also verified that this is not a permissions issue and ran chkdsk on the disk.
I am unable to make a backup of the bookmarks it just hangs and never makes the backup, I can't even export them either.
I went to the next step and renamed the places.sqlite file and restarted firefox which did restore my bookmarks from a previous backup but I still can't click on the bookmark menu option without firefox locking up .
How do I resolve this and how do I get my data back in to Sync?
If this file is corrupted does that mean that all of my linked browsers downloaded the same corrupt file from Sync? How do I resolve that, is there anyway to recover my history from any of my other PCs?
All that I did was when I was logged out of sync but want to know how I go about getting the info back in to Sync.

Process chains time outs and hangs with no error msg - in SP13

Hi all,
We are having all kind of weird problems after we patched our system with SP13. Our process chain time outs and hangs, but surprisingly we never get any error msg. And scarier part is, the problem seems to be intermittent. PC runs fine on some days and hangs on some.
Further analysis into the dump as below
Termination occurred in the ABAP program "SAPLRSSM" -
in "RSSM_SLEEP_DEBUG".
The main program was "SAPMSSY1 ".
In the source code the termination point is in (Include) program "LRSSMU39".
This refers to an issue that appears to have been addressed by OSS Note
934648(meant for SP8). This notes also indicates to populate RSADMIN table to
exclude "RSSM_SLEEP_DEBUG". Not sure if this note is valid for SP13? However we went ahead and populated the RSADMIN table.
So now we have no clue whats going on and where to fix the issue.
As per SAP suggestion we applied the following notes:
0000653996 Analyzing lock situations
0000893563 Correction: Deadlock on completion of a remote chain
0000994007 Corrections: Deadlock with external status query
0001005481 Correction: Process successful, but there is no instance
0001047174 Correction: Incorrect scope when locking in process chains
0001051957 Correction: TIME_OUT during dialog confirmation of processes
0001083660 Report for error stack analysis
Nothing seems to help us. And SAP suggested a few options, which we implemented to no rescue.
Im sure that many of the customers have applied SP13, and want some feedback from them, if this is happening in their systems too?
If so, how did you fix this issue?
Or this situation is unique to us?Please note that no settings were changed as of SP13 to that of what they were in SP12(unless it is a side effect of the patch itself). Everything worked fine with SP12 and is still working on the BIP system. All the problems are in BIQ patched to SP13.
Any pointers or insight would be appreciated. We have a customer msg open with SAP, and going back and forth, but nothing seemed to work as of today.
Thanks,
Voodi

Not sure which OSS helped us get past the issue, as SAP asked us to apply a ton of notes. But along which the notes, SAP has some suggestions for us, which we think did the magic. After the implementation of the suggestin we never faced the same issue again. The suggestion by SAP:
move the process chain callback in a batch job by executing
program RSSM_TRACE_SWITCH and selecting the flag "verifcation
of asynchronous processes - execute in batch".
Lemme know if this doesnt fix the issue, I can give all the notes that SAP asked us to apply.

Video runs slow on firefox and out of sync with audio with abode flash 12.

Ever since I installed adobe flash player 12 my videos run slow and out of sync with the audio it is like it pauses for a couple seconds and starts back working and keeps doing that.

Hi jth10,
The troubleshooting steps provided by Adobe can be found here: [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_For_Windows_users]
* Are there any settings in the Flash settings manager that changed when you updated? [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager03.html]
*These are the recommended settings for specific resolutions [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/poor-video-quality-flash-player.html]
You can also try to disable hardware acceleration in the Adobe settings menu.

I just had to install a new hard drive, windows 7,itunes and outlooks 2010 on laptop and want to import contacts, calendars and photos. it seems sync wants to wipe out my phone with whats on the computer unidirectionally. whats the fix?

Hi guys newbie here.

Firefox 21 whole window goes black after being opened for a few seconds

After most recent update (21 I think), Firefox window goes all black - no buttons, anything, a few seconds after opening. Sometimes it'll last a few minutes before going black. Start menu remains so I can minimize it, close it, etc. Audio if playing on the page will continue to play after blackout. Tried all basic tricks including uninstall/reinstall.
Windows 7 64bit ATI Radeon 5XXX 4gb ram. Other browsers work fine. All else seems to be fine with Firefox before it goes black.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

Have have much problems with my both iphones 4gs and 3gs with coverage of the networks !!! Is there a solution for it

Hello Gentlemen ;
I have two iphones , one 4gs and one 3gs !
With both of the phone i have problems with the network coverage where other phones don't have problems !!!
Can i do something about this ?
Thx a lot

If you syncing both iPhones from same PC/Mac then first i will advice you to create a new User account(on your computer) then restore both devices and configure as new device( make sure you have a backup of both devices in the regular user account) this link may help you out http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137, after doing so try using both devices with the data for say 24hours to see if you got same issue..if same issue the call apple phone support, or visit the closest apple store in your area..but if the issue is resolve after the restore and setting up as a new device then i will advice you to do a manual sync of all information(i.e don't restore from backup) hope this help's you

Portion of the browser screen are flashing intermittently and when trying to select a link out of my drop-downs, clicking the mouse selects the link above it.

These issues occur only while using Mozilla Firefox. I'm utilizing a Lenovo Thinkpad:
1.Website seem to flicker on images, videos, maps as the mouse moves around the screen.
2. hovering the mouse over a link in the browser and left-clicking activates the link above(if there is one)
Not encountering issues with google or ie. this started a few days ago.
Thoughts?

Hello paulo.eichelberger, try '''disabling graphics hardware acceleration'''.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
#Open Firefox ''Options'' window as follows:
#* click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and select ''Options''.
#In the Firefox Options window, click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select ''General''.
#In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
#Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

When workign with video, logic freezes for a few seconds then playbacks

Dear all,
When i am working with video in logic 9.1, the playback freezes for a few seconds and then plays smoothly. This is irritating as when u score for movies, u cant sync the sounds. I tried converting the mov file into various formats, but still no luck. Strangely, the demos given with logic(the ones with videos) plays smoothly without the freezing.. pls help ...
thanks
Message was edited by: Rishikesh hari

Ken,
Yes , you were right. i researched on video formats and found, logic will only support uncompressed video formats. Like u said, i opened quicktime and exported my movie to DV coding. It works fine.. I also found out that, to have less CPU load, convert you video to "photo jpeg" coding.. Its smoother !!!1
Cheers

Help with making JLabel visible for a few seconds only

Hello guys,
I need help with making a JLabel object visible for a few seconds only and disappear when a JButton has been clicked.
Here is piece of code where I add mouse listener to the JButton object in my case is (jrbFigure1) and
when is called sets icon and text to the JLabel jlbl object:
jrbFigure1.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
jrbFigure1.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
jlbl.setIcon(cross);
jlbl.setText(wrong);
This piece of code is in a switch statement, the statement is in a method.
The JLabel jlbl object is added in a panel in the constructor of the class.
I really hope someone could help me on this issue.
I would like to thank you in advance for any help or advice given.

I want the label to appear for X seconds when then button is pressed and disappear after that.Then a Swing Timer is what you want to use.
I need to do this in a number of cases from a switch statement because I several buttons.Better to have several ActionListeners, one for each button or each type of button, rather than one ActionListener with a large switch statement, a so-called switch-board listener. They're messy to debug and upgrade.
I tried to use Swing Timer, but I cannot set it properly.Go through the Sun Swing tutorial on Swing Timers. It's all outlined for you there: [http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/misc/timer.html]
