Firefox not connecting internet, also not in the safe mode. Have tried most of the options, no success. But I need my favorites... It happened after the update on 29/10/10. How can I restore firefox ?

not connecting to internet? no add-ons visible? safe mode does not function?

Thanks for checking in, BDAQua.
Problem solved.
In the docs that came with my Powerlogix accelerator card, I found this sentence buried:
"If you reset the PRAM, the NVRAM code for OS9 compatibility is cleared, so you will have to boot from the Firmawre Update CD and perform this process again in order to boot in OS9."
The "process" it's referring to is the process of setting up the NVRAM for booting into OS9 from the CD.
Fortunately, I was able to find the disk, and it worked as expected. I can now, once again boot into OS9.
Conclusion: My (unadvised) attempt to load Leopard on this old machine apparently reset the PRAM on the accelerator card and cleared the NVRAM code for OS9 boot. Although I did attempt to reset the NVRAM via Open Firmware, it did not reset it on the accelerator card.
So, thank you BDAQua, for your "Ah yes" . . . that's all I needed to steer me in the right direction.
Gratefully,
tupester

Looks that your current profile isn't working properly.
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile:
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

HT201413 My ipod shuffle is not recognised in itunes or my computer. I have tried most of the remedies - but nothing seems to work.

I have a brand new ipod shuffle and my computer and itunes does not "see " it when I plug it in.
I have tried most of the remedies listed but still cannot get it to work - what is wrong?
Please someone help?

To all
I have managed to solve the problem with the help of the Apple Support.
I did not have a USB driver installed for the IPod. This is now fixed and is easy to do.
Hope other people can gain knowledge from my learning curve!

HT1476 My phone was fully charged and while talkng, it went to a blank screen. It will not come back on. I have tried turning it off and back on, but it doesn't do anything, just keeps the blank screen.

While talking on the phone this morning, it was fully charged, the screen went blank and I could no longer use the phone. I tried turing it off and then on, but it still ghad a blank screen. I even tried charging the phone, but it still has a blank screen.

I am sorry to hear about your phone.
You could try connecting it to your laptop and see if itune recognises the phone.
If it does then make a backup of your phone.
You could then restore it and see if it helps.
It shouldn't be much of a problem if its a software issue but if something went wrong with the hardware then you might have to go to an Apple store.
Hope this helps

Downloaded 4.o firefox, my mac even tho it is osx,is not compatible,replaced the older version with new...now new won't run, old is gone.. want my older version back,bookmarks,etc...how can i restore ,or at least download the 3.6 i had before?

have tried to recover files from hard drive,folders..etc...figuring the older version must be somewhere on my computer....but i haven't been able to locate it,or successfully download my old version

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.

I want to be able to type an address into the url section. Google is on the main firefox page and I cant get rid of it. How can I restore Firefox mozilla only please?

I need to enter the www.address. on this computer I can only enter the address in the google or yahoo section, not where the address should be. On the firefox home page the area where you search Google is the only way I can enter my address. There is no place where I can type an address.

Open the Firefox SafeMode and use '''Reset toolbars and controls.''' - only.

Firefox 9 offers only a simple non-hierarchical list of bookmarks, not an inverted-tree with some branches expanded; is there a cure, or else how can I restore Firefox 8?

The old Firefox offered a bookmark screen on the left with an inverted-tree structure. e.g.
Finance
CNBC.com
finance.yahoo.com
BBC glossary of business terms
Fidelity Investments
Lookup
yahoo.com
ZIP code finder
google maps
Chase personal banking
www.amazon.com
Film
imdb.com
Turner Classic Movies
Weather
Astronomy
Science
Science Times
periodic table
Schrodinger wave equation
Geology
This is like the computer folder/subfolder(or file) structure. Some folders can remain closed until needed, e.g. weather, but others remain expanded until closed, and each visible bookmark can be clicked on immediately (without opening another list).

Hi joelgibson,
Are you talking about the bookmarks sidebar? Trying hitting ''CTRL + b''. Is that what you are referring to? You can also create a navigation bar icon to enable this sidebar if you don't want to use the keyboard shortcut. Take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[Navigation Toolbar items]] for details.
Hopefully this helps!

My 5 year old iMac's hard drive is at the point of failing. I'm trying to save al files on it, but it wont allow backup via Time Machine to an external hard drive. How can I keep from losing all the files and programs if the hard drive fails?

I'm concerned that my iMac, purchased 5 years ago, is about the crash and I can't back up my files and programs to an external hard drive via Time Machine because the computer freezes after only a couple hundred MB and gets nowhere near the required amount.
How can I save these files and programs if the computer hard drive fails or has to be replaced without the backup being able to be done? I need to do something quickly, but I'm not sure what I can or should be doing.

Get an external hard drive, some good ones that I like are the OWC, http://www.macsales.com Mercury Elite Pro drives...they are very good and reasonably priced.
Get the drive, connect via USB or FireWire, then use Disk Utility to format the new drive as Mac OS X Extended (Journaled), and then use Disk Utility to Restore the current drive to the new drive. Restore actually clones the drive so you will have a bootable backup on the external drive.
After you have formatted and named the external drive, click Restore in the main Disk Utility window, drag the name of the old hard drive to the Source box, and drag the name of the new external drive to the Destination box. DU will make an exact clone of the internal drive on the external drive.
That clone will be a complete backup of the operating system and all of your data.
You can test it by restarting the iMac and hold the Option key. That will give you a grey screen showing all bootable drives. Just click the external drive, then click the upward pointing arrow under it and the iMac will boot from that drive.

I lost my GoodReader software app after i upgraded to iOS 5. How can I restore/find it?

I forgot to mention that i was upgrading my ipad 2 to iOs 5. after it was done I could not longer find my GoodReader.
Any suggestions on how to recover it would be appreciated.

You should be able to re-download it via the Purchased tab in the App Store app on your iPad. If you updated the iPad via your computer's iTunes then was the app in the Apps part of your computer's iTunes library ? A backup doesn't contain your apps, just their content and settings, so for a restore to copy back an app, that apps need to be in your library.

Frequently, when I click on a link, try to return to the previous screen or close a tab, an option box comes up that requires a choice rather than simply doing whatever was originally requested. How can these option boxes be prevented?

Frequently, when I click on a link, an option box will pop up asking whether to open in a new tab or new window and several other options, rather than simply opening in the same window or tab. When I try to return to the previous screen, it often will not let me, or provides options that I do not want. When I try to close a tab, an option box comes up that has several choices that I do not want and "close tab" at the bottom of the box. How to prevent these option boxes from popping up?

Turn of JavaScript. These are "per site" and generated by the site. They are not the normal function of the browser. This usually occurs on attack sites. I'd stay away from them.
The only "trusted" site I ever saw do something like this is Google, which asks me if I'm sure I want to close the tab that has their search results. I really pisses me off, but I have yet to find a way to stop it.
It is certainly bad coding behavior on the part of whomever designed the site. When a user clicks an action, it should be presumed, unless the action is potentially very destructive, that they intended to perform that action. A UI should never incessantly second guess the intentions of a user.

TS1398 my iPod 2 gen says that I'm in range for wifi, but does not allow me to use it after all the times i have tried. it works on every other device, but mine. Need help please?

HELP

Have you:
- Tried another network?
- Does the iPod see the network?
- Tried a reset.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Powered off and then back on your router

I have windows 8, 64 bit. I am trying to install ITunes 64 bit installer, but keep getting an error message that says a .DLL file is missing. How can I fix this?

After installing, whenever i try to open the application, it keeps popping up that some or the other .dll file is missing.
When I install that particular .dll file and then again try to re open, it says that someother file is missing. It keeps
coming all the time.

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

How can I tweak firefox to use less of RAM?100MB+ is too much for my system.thanks

Ok,
I have latest updated version of firefox.
I have hp510 laptop with 1 GB of RAM.
My problem is that firefox is really good but uses too much of RAM(100 MB or more) while in usage.
How can I tweak firefox to use less RAM, as my system gets hammered.
Thank you.
Danny

thanks.
I opened my extensions, and all are disabled, except ADBLOCK.
I usually clean my history on weekly basis, sometimes even on daily basis.
When I use firefox, most of the time ther is no other application in use by me (I don't encounter all those back apps for the system).
Most of the time, I have only 2 windows open , very rare there more.
The issue is that even at starting of firefox session I can see in task manager there is minimum 95 MB or charge, without any work done by me.
I usually have charge about 370-390 MB of RAM, but when I open Firefox it gets me up to 500 or more.

Firefox not connecting internet, also not in the safe mode. Have tried most of the options, no success. But I need my favorites... It happened after the update on 29/10/10. How can I restore firefox ?
