Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

When trying to download 4.3.3 for iphone 4 with firewall off and antivirus off but i keep on getting the error code 3259 - sometimes it times out after a few seconds other times it will be half anhour - can anyone help?

Hi,
When trying to download 4.3.3 for iphone 4 with firewall off and antivirus off i keep on getting the error code 3259 - sometimes it times out after a few seconds other times it will be half an hour - can anyone help?
Thanks

Before beginning the download, try temporarily disabling the antivirus, anti-adware, anti-spyware, and any other anti-whatever that is required and is running with that secure OS.

8520, call ends suddenly after a few minutes, repeatedly! (grey phone icon appears)

Hello, i have this problem today, when somebody calls me, after about 10 mins talk, the call suddenly ends, and the phone kinda shuts off because if they try to call me, my answering machine jumps out. After a few minutes, the icon that appears, which is like a missed call icon but all grey, goes away and people can call me normally again, but again after a few minutos the call hangs out and the icon comes back again.
Any idea how to solve this?
thank you.

Hmmm...well, if we take what your provider told you, then your best course of action might be to do a clean reload of your device OS. I'd suggest these steps:
Backup your BB:
KB12487 How to backup data on a BlackBerry smartphone
Do a clean reload of your device OS:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Device-Software/How-To-Reload-Your-Operating-Syste...
Do selective restore of your critical data only (don't to a full restore as it might restore something that was causing the problem -- just restore, for instance, your calendar, contacts, tasks, and email databases...select the least amount that you can get by with):
KB10339 How to restore data from a backup file to a BlackBerry smartphone
Then run for several days with it in this bare minimum state to see if the problem happens. If it does, then head back to your service provider for additional support. If it does not, then start slowly adding your other things back on, waiting several days between. When the problem happens again, you will know exactly what is causing it as it will be the last thing that you added back.
Good luck and let us know!

Firefox 4 unfortunately collapse (crashes ? ) after a few minutes of operate. I install-uninstall 3 times, but always works a few minutes only. I have windows-7 64-bit. What would be the problem ?

when firefox collapse does not open any website including these ones which opened a few minutes ago. There are no "crash" report but it writes "connecting" without any connection with the website.

I am having similar issue but on a large scale. I have only a few printers that drop off while others stay. I notice this on my iOS devices, but if I check my macbook they all still display, so only on iOS devices it is disappearing.

My mouse wheel stops working after a few minutes every time I load Firefox. I've searched through various fixes, but none of them have worked for me. Help!

I have a Lenovo desktop and mouse. I haven't had this problem with any other program.

It could be the work of one of your add-ons, or even add / mal-ware.
Look thru your add-ons list and make sure you know what each one is
and what it does. Also, check the programs that are on your computer
'''Windows:''' Start > Control Panel > Uninstall Programs.
'''Mac:''' Open the "Applications" folder
'''Linux:'''
* [http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/articles/see_all_your_installed_applications_ubuntu_unity Ubuntu Unity]''' {web link}
* Xfce: Applications Menu category sections
* options depends on the package manager and the desktop environment
Go thru the list. If you find something that you don't
know what it is, use a web search.

Facebook shuts down unexpectedly after a few minutes.

When using Facebook on Safari, Google Chrome or the app it shuts down unexpectedly after a few minutes. I tried restarting my iPad, reloading the app & deleting the cookies. It's frustrating.

Humm.... my first thought is that the new iMac's only come in 21.5 and 27" and the second is that your not giving us much to go on. You know things like, it ran fine for the first hour, day, week, month, I checked the power cord to make sure that the connections are tight, I followed the User's Guide, it was working fine until I upgraded the RAM, plugged in my printer, an External Hard Drive, I started having this problem after I downloaded xxxx, it fell off the desk, I dropped it down the stairs on the way from the car to the house, the UPS driver kicked it off the back of the truck, you know the basic stuff like that.

Firefox hangs after a few minutes and freezes whole system -- tried all the help suggestions already

I just updated to the latest version of Firefox and now it hangs after a few minutes of use (maybe when using Facebook)...I tried all of the existing help suggestions and none of them worked. Once it hangs, I can no longer use my machine as it freezes everything. I have to shut down...and even that takes forever to happen. :(

Hello cswatson,
Try clearing your Java cache, and History.
If you're not sure how to do that go here. --> [http://www.java.com/en/download/help/plugin_cache.xml I'm a Link].
If you still have problems, and are running a 64 bit processor you may want to install Waterfox instead of Firefox. On the case that you are running a 32 bit operating system do not install Waterfox. However, if you are running a 64 bit operating system you may want to install Waterfox. If you do install you should update your plugins on the Waterfox Download page below.

Video freezes and resets after 2-3 minutes

I use adobe flash play to play archived sporting events on two different websites. I can open and play the video, but after a few minutes the video will freeze, look like it's loading, and then reset back to the beginning of the video. THIS IS INCREDIBLY ANNOYING AND UNACCEPTABLE!

Safari and firefox stop working after a few minutes of browsing, regardless of what site I'm on. I have to restart my computer to get internet access again but it only works for a few more minutes, then I have to restart again. Please help!

Safari and firefox stop working after a few minutes of browsing, regardless of what site I'm on. I have to restart my computer to get internet access again but it only works for a few more minutes, then I have to restart again. I don't get a spinning ball, it just stops working at whatever page it's on. I can close the program just fine but when I re-open it, either safari or firefox, it freezes trying to load the hompage. This started a few days ago after trying to stream a movie on my computer. I'm on a Mac Air OS X Version 10.6.8 and have downloaded all updates. When I go into finder, it says I have over 80 gigs available. Is there some other memory cache that I need to check? Thanks so much for your help.

It's not a router problem as I explained in my post. If it was a router problem then I wouldn't have the problem everywhere I go. It is an issue with the software.
Then I guess the millions of people running 10.5.7 with no issues are just hallucinating that their machines are working fine?
I'm not trying to belittle your issues; you're certainly having them and I know first hand how annoying an intermittent AirPort issue can be. (In fact, mine was due to an AirPort driver bug that no one else seemed to suffer from.)
The single best diagnostic you could do is take your system running 10.5.7 to an Apple Store, and try using their in-store network.
If your machine performs flawlessly, it may be a router issue.
If your machine has connectivity issues there, it may be a hardware problem with your machine.
There have been numerous people in multiple threads over the years who swore that an update was buggy because things used to work, but returned later to sheepishly admit that they took their machine in, a problem was found and fixed, and now their Mac works flawlessly with the newer software.
But simply reinstalling 10.5.5 in no way means the explanation of how firmware bugs may be at play here is incorrect.
In the context of that explanation, all you've done is possibly reinstall software that asks to add "2 + 3."

'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
*In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".
:[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit 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 others with the same problem.

The symptoms you describe with and ALS model are indicative of a power supply failure, and not an issue with electrolytic capacitors on the logic board.
I was speaking about the components in the power supply, although the Logic Board components are also in visually good condition.
My concern is; replacing the PS may place greater pressure on the components of the Logic Board, which are obviously of the same age. Precipitating a similar failure in the LB at an early stage...
£100 for a power supply is one thing, then the probability of £200+ for a LB replacement is quite another. £300+ is not a viable repair for a 5 year old iMac in my opinion.
A dealer or service provider can replace the power supply, which should completely address your issue EXCEPT to the extent that repeated, abnormal shutdowns have damaged your drive directory. Using Disk Utility as a first pass may address any such concerns. More extensive directory damage will require a utility like Disk Warrior.
Quite capable of replacing PS my self, not too worried about the warranty aspect now!
Agreed, repeated shut downs may have messed the directory. The contents have been duplicated throughout the life of the machine, so backup is not an issue, a reformat and zero of the drive would be a natural progression from replacing the PS, if we go that route.
The part required for replacement in an iMac 17 inch (ALS) model is the 661-3627. In the 20 inch (ALS) model, it is a 661-3625.
Thank you for your observations and help, also for the confirmation of the part #. There are some new on UK eBay right now @ £80 - £100.

Hey gwscrt,
Since iTunes directed to you to restore your iPod, I'd check out the following article that goes over the steps to do so:
Restoring iPod to factory settings
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1339
I would read the document in full, but here are the applicable steps for you:
How to restore iPod
Verify that you have an active Internet connection, because you may need to download new versions of the iTunes and iPod Software.
Download and install the latest version of iTunes if necessary.
Open iTunes. Connect your iPod to your computer using the USB or FireWire cable that came with your iPod.
After a few moments, your iPod will appear in the Source panel in iTunes.
Select your iPod in the Source panel. You will see information about your iPod appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes window.
Click Restore.
If you are using a Mac, you will be asked to enter an administrator’s name and password.
A progress bar will appear on the computer screen, indicating that stage one of the restore process has begun. When this stage is done, iTunes will present one of two messages with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models).
During stage two of the restore process, the iPod displays an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remain connected to the computer or iPod power adapter during this stage.
Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see, because the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
After stage two of the restore process is complete, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear. It will ask you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences, as it did when you connected your iPod for the first time.
Have a good one,
David

Freezing after a few minutes of screen sharing?

Hello, when setting up a screen sharing session on mountain lion with a lion laptop (the ml is being controlled by the lion laptop), the 10.8 laptop freezes after a few minutes of the session. The mouse cursor still works locally, however no clicking or keyboard input is accepted. The remote controller also loses the connection, and a hard reboot is the only thing to bring the computer back.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Dan

Yes, that is exactly what I am experiencing.
I followed instructions and found that computer was set to log out after 120 minutes. I don't know if that is the default setting or not, but I know I never set it that way myself, didn't even know the option was there.
I have always had the computer set to start screensaver after 15 minutes, display sleep after 30 minutes, and computer sleep after 1 hour. The computer never logged me out with those settings until a couple of days ago when this problem started. I had changed computer sleep to never so I could see if remote desktop on my ipad would be able to connect to the imac, and that is when the problem started.
I am trying setting screensaver to 10 minutes, display sleep to 15 minutes, and computer sleep to never, and see if that solves the problem. I also unchecked the box to log out after 120 minutes.
Thanks for your help, I appreciate it.
Lewis
