Firefox process is running but the GUI doesn't show up.

System description:
ThinkPad T61, Windows 7 X64 with both Firefox 3.6 and 4.0 beta installed.
Now both version of Firefox won't show their GUI when I start them but the "firefox.exe *32" process is running.
I tried to clean up all the customize information about the firefox, uninstall both of them and reinstall the 3.6, but the GUI still won't show up.

Did you create a new profile for the Firefox 4.0 beta version?
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_Manager
If you use the same profile for both versions then create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems
See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]]
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"
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)

Am told firefox is already running , but task manager doesn't show it

am told firefox is already running , but task manager doesn't show it. I installed Firefox 3.6.10 on a new computer (win 7 home premium), deleted the profile given and copied my old profile in its place (win vista premium). I get the above message and am told to close the existing process, or restart the system. Can't close and restarting doesn't help. Please solve this for me, i so don't want to use Internet Explorer

g'day people... a dude called "moopenguin32" showed me the way... alleluia
1. Copy your Firefox shortcut (what you click on to open Firefox) to the Desktop.
2. Right-click on it and click on Properties.
3. Go to the end of the text in the "Target" field. The end will say: firefox.exe"
4. Enter a space followed by: -profilemanager
5. The end result will look something like this: "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -profilemanager
6. Click OK to save the settings.
7. Double-click on the shortcut you just changed.
8. Delete the profile listed. It shouldn't matter that you're deleting it because you're trying to restore a profile anyways. You should have the profile you're trying to restore saved elsewhere.
9. Close the profile manager.
10. Start Firefox using your regular shortcut. Firefox should open properly. Close Firefox.
11. Now to restore your profile, open the profile folder you have backed up and copy the contents of it rather than the actual folder.
12. Go to your existing Firefox profile and open it.
13. Delete the contents of the existing Firefox profile.
14. Paste the contents of the Firefox profile that you're trying to restore (the one you copied in step 11).
15. Open Firefox and everything should be there (including your extensions).

iTunes 11 picked up on my entire extensive movie, tv show and music collection flawlessly, but importing a new movie into iTunes 11, it shows up in the list view, in the get info window the assigned artwork shows up, but the movie doesn't show up in the non-list (with artwork) view.
The media collection is on an external drive. And on my older Snow Leopard machine, the newly imported movie also shows up (with artwork) as it should.
Just not in iTunes 11 non-list )main movie) view.
Any ideas on this?
Cheers!

Wait - I meant to say that on the older machine the newly imported move shows up correctly using Front Row, not in iTunes.
Besides, i just noticed that my my hardware profile is not up to date - I am referring to an iMac running MountainLion 10.8.2

I have updated to the latest version of iTunes (11.2.2.3). However, when I connect my iPod it shows in My Computer and iTunes opens automatically when the iPod is connected but the device doesn't show in iTunes. Any ideas?

When i add a new contact to my phone, their details are saved in my contact list, but the name doesn't show up when they ring or txt me, how can i change that?

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely. Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

I'm trying to set up time machine to back up on an external HD connected t my airport extreme, but the disk doesn't show as an option in the time machine selecting a disk, any suggestion anyone? My mac "sees" the airport extreme ??

The first important thing to consider here is that Apple does not support Time Machine backups to a drive at the USB port on the AirPort Extreme, so that may likely have something to do with your difficulties.
If you want to continue to try this, the drive must be formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and you almost always have to use a powered USB hub with a drive at the port of the Extreme...even if the hard drive has its own power supply....because the port on the Extreme is under powered.
Most users who try this unsupported method have corruption difficulties sooner or later, but we do hear from some users who seem to be able to make it work.
The bottom line is that there is no support from Apple on this if you have difficulties, so you may want to consider a secondary backup plan for your important data.

Two apps running, but the Dock doesn't seem to know about them

In the last couple of days I have quit and restarted Firefox and then Safari. Both apps are up and running with multiple windows and tabs open, but according to the Dock they are not running. The light is not lit up next to the app icon, and when you right-click on the icon the menu doesn't show any of the open windows, just the "Open" option like you would expect for an application not running. If I click on the app icon, it does bring the app to the front, and the menus and user interface seem to work fine.
I've had this happen before, with Firefox, but now it seems to be spreading to Safari...
Huh?

First thing I would try is to restart from a complete shutddown. Sometimes fixes minor glitches like that.
Have you tried moving ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist to the trash? I've never done this, but I'm guessing it will remove all your Dock settings. Then, killall Dock log out and back in. (Or just try killall Dock first) Don't empty the trash just yet, if no improvement, use File>Put Back.

I'm trying to run the installer for firefox on widows 8, but the installer doesn't start.

Earlier today I tried to run Firefox and it didn't start, so I went and uninstalled it, then tried to reinstall it, but the installer would not pop up. But in the task manager I see Firefox 32bit installer is there.I've tried running it with my antivirus off. The installer worked before, and I was able to run Firefox. None of the other programs I've download are doing this.

please run a full scan of your system with the security software already in place and different tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes], [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner], [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx microsoft safety scanner] & [http://www.kaspersky.com/security-scan kaspersky security scan]. also make sure that your security software isn't blocking the installation of firefox though...

I have problem that seems to be Firefox-specific: the url loads correctly but the page doesn't show. The other browsers are unaffected.

The page urls load properly but the pages generally don't show. I have been using Firefox 5 on Linux Mint 11. I have no idea which Firefox version I have on the Windows 7 PC as the Firefox "About Firefox" page doesn't display. Some web pages don't seem to be affected by the Firefox problem. As a workaround, I am using non-Firefox browsers like: on Linux- Konqueror, Opera, Seamonkey, Chrome; on Windows: Internet Explorer, Opera, Chrome; the iPod Safari and Android browser.

Upgrade your browser to Firefox 8

I create a new calendar on My mac and share with my wife's mac. She accepts the sharing but the calendar doesn't show up on her Calendar or her iPhone.

How can I add a new calendar to my Mac and share it with my wife's Mac. I execute the normal process and she receives the email and accepts sharing but the new calendar doesn't show up on her mac or iPhone.

Hi,
I would point out that I did say...
Of course the Contacts List has to have people listed in it.
The Error seems to be that you have not even got an My Card.
The OS when the computer is brand new and you set up the first Admin Account should create at least once Card entry for the Address Book/Contacts which has the Head and Shoulders icon (the My Card)
The does presume the the first account on the Mac doers have a person's First name and Last name to work with.
Of course not everyone sets things up this way.
Anyhow
To Check the Contacts List open the app.
Go to the Preferences.
Go to the Accounts section.
This should list at least two "accounts
One is for Syncing with iCloud and the other is for storing the Info on the Mac itself
In System Preferences > iCloud you can only set up one Apple ID to be the iCloud ID.
If you do or have changed this you may have extra accounts in the Contacts > Preferences > Accounts

When I'm in a call, I can hear beeping like I'm getting another call but the name doesn't show up and the only way I can see who called is if they leave a voicemail

I have an employee who has an issue when on calls. When he is in a call with someone, he can hear another call beeping in but no name shows up. The only way he can see who called is if they leave a voicemail. He says the phone is up to date with software. Wondering if anyone can help me figure out what is going on.

App says new update but the update doesn't show up

Whenever I click on the app it loads but won't open because it says update here. I click on it and there isn't anything that says download. It just says open like normal.

Is the update/download "waiting"?

HT5085 I purchased the Veronica Mars movie and it shows in my purchases but I can not download the movie. When I look at downloads it says all previously purchased items have been downloaded but the movie doesn't show in my library and it won't download

I purchased the movie Veronica Mars. It shows in my purchases but it does not show in my library. When I check for downloads available it says that I have downloaded all purchases in my account but this one is not there. So frustrated with this whole system.

Does it show via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes for downloading ?

ITunes says it's syncing...but the music doesn't show up. _

Hey all, I'm new here and I'm desperate for some help.
Well, this all started a couple days ago. To make a long story short, my ipod (5th gen video) was plugged in my cpu charging for almost 2 days straight. When I got back home, all the music on my ipod was erased. Before these 2 days my ipod and i tunes were working fine. Now, whenever I hook up my ipod, itunes says that it is syncing but when it finishes the music isn't on my ipod...I'm not sure if it being hooked up for too long had anything to do with it, but I can't figure this out for the life of me...I fear it might be something simple and I'm a complete idiot(lol), but I just wana get this fixed if possible.
Help...anyone?

it's probably worth checking to see if you're getting a Windows drive letter confusion here. see the following document:
Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear
