Mac Lifer using MacBook Pro - why is the performance and network SO slow now?

I'm a 15+ year experience designer that lives on my machine. I'm in Adobe, Safari, Mail, Skype and Gotomeeting every day. Skype audio is spotty, Safari lags, Mail lags, and Adobe Photoshop CS6 fonts seem to give it a ton of grief. I would take it in to a store, but don't have the physical time.

See ds store's excellent user tip - Why is my computer slow?
You don't say which model you have, how much RAM, how much free space on your internal hard drive, etc. Information like that can be useful.

When using HDR pro why do random patches of bright colours appear now?

I have limited knowledge of HDR pro, however I have used it without these extra patches of colour appearing and when I tried to recreate an image which had been succesful these patches of colour are appearing.
I suspect I have changed something but I can not work out what.

The random bright yellow patches on the pavement and furthest house are not in the original image, nor is the blue or the magenta on the other buildings. I can understand the blue on the windscreen of the car. I have managed to do HDR images on CS5 with great success but I am doing a college course and I wanted to do screen shots to show how I did one of the images and when I tried to recreate it I had these random patches of colour which I can't get rid of unless I turn it mono!!
I know I was using the same settings as a starting block as I had some advice from a friend with CS6 and he had a CS6 book with a suggested setting to try which I noted and have used with success until now, although I have tried everything within the HDR side of things and the colours are not going away.
I really would be very grateful for any help.
Thank you

I open Firefox. It tries to install an update. Updating fails and I get a message" "Another copy of Firefox must be open. Close it. " A second copy is not open a far as I'm concerned. I have to refuse the update in order to use Firefox.

I don't know what more I can tell you except that I have to refuse an update in order to use Firefox.

■ Have a look at these two articles that may help

Take care if you update by the last resort method mentioned in the linked article, if you delete settings it will remove all bookmarks etc from all versions of firefox

Can't use the "send by e-mail" button on forms created in Acrobat Pro 9 with Firefox

I created a form in Acrobat Pro 9.5.2 with a "send by e-mail" button as usual (not using LiveCycle Designer). Since a few months, users cannot send forms using that button USING FIREFOX works fine in Explorer. I've been creating and using those forms since 2 years whitout any problems but now this is A BIG PROBLEM for our office as all our reservation forms uses this technology.
Steps to reproduce bug:
1. create a form using Acrobat Pro. add an action button " send a form". send the Entire PDF form not just FDF. go in advance tool to give all rights to end-users (in French it's "étendre les fonctions d'adobe reader" I think it’s enable the usage rights for Reader ion English.)
2.publishing the form on my website (or send by e-mail to someone who use reader)
3. filling the form
Results:
when the user fill the form he can't send it by e-mail using the button. Nothing happens when hitting that button. It is not possible to save the document as well. Nothing can be done, not even printing or saving it. I've tried almost all browsers I know and nothing works.
Expected results:
the form should be send by e-mail (as an attachment in general) like before. please help me! this is really important, our office have a lot of calls and we are just 2 people here (non-profit organization). should we buy Acrobat Pro X ?
I can send you the form, my e-mail is rgelinas at canadianclub-montreal dot ca
thanks all!

When your customers opened the PDF form (which was as an email attachment) on iPads, it is highly likely that Apple Mail (not Adobe Reader for iOS) was displaying the preview of the PDF form. Please note that Apple products on iPad/iPhone (e.g. Apple Mail, iBooks, Safari) do not render field contents or annotations (sticky notes, highlight, underline, strikeout, freehand drawing, etc.) in PDF documents.
The Mail sections of the following FAQ documents describe how to open PDF attachments in Adobe Reader for iOS.
For iPad, see How to get PDF documents into Adobe Reader for iOS (iPad on iOS 7 version)
For iPhone, see How to open PDF documents in Adobe Reader for iOS (iPhone on iOS 7 version)

Firefox refuses to start on my laptop. Why is this happening now, I have used it for years?

Firefox requires to be downloaded via another server each time I try to gain access to the internet.

Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
Please report back to see if this helped you!

How can I turn off or disable/remove firefox 36 so that my browser only uses adobe flash?

When I'm completing online training for my airline work, I get a warning from their site detecting that it is running firefox 36 instead of adobe flash and I can't proceed to launch the window which will work just fine outside of firefox. Is there a way I can disable firefox 36 so that it doesn't use the mozilla version but only uses adobe flash player to launch the app?

I think it would be easiest to load your training in Internet Explorer instead of Firefox. You don't need to remove Firefox to do that. You might need to change your default browser from Firefox to Internet Explorer. Here's how:

My computer restarted automatically, and since then, Firefox refuses to load, it crashes instantly as I try to open it, I cannot access any of its options that way. What can I do?

Last night, as I was asleep, my computer restarted automatically, most likely due to an update of some sort. Usually, that is not a problem, as everything works just fine afterwards. HOWEVER, this time, it was not the case. Since it restarted, Firefox (3.6) refuses to start properly, and crashes immediately.
I can see the white page popping up for a split second before getting a message saying that it crashed, and that I should send a report. I tried looking at the help FAQs on this website, about how I should be able to get a code for that specific crash's details. The problem is, however, that my last submitted report, according to my computer, is in june 2010, and we're currently in september 2010.
I still tried to refresh after the report has been completed, but nothing. So I figured I'd try to check in the details of that latest report, but 'lo and behold, it doesn't work, even though I followed the explanations provided on this website perfectly.
I did try to restart my computer again, and even download the latest Firefox version again, and reinstall it (even though that's what I had), but to no avail. It still does the same thing.
At the moment, I am using explorer, and would very much like to be able to use Firefox again, as I have most of my bookmarks in there and usually prefer to use Firefox, although I've been having other issues with it lately. I don't think they're related to the constant crashes, but if you insist on me sharing those, then I shall do so.

Can you start Firefox in [[Safe mode]] ?
You can also do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
You can initially skip the step to create a new profile, that may not necessary for this issue.

Firefox refuses to delete cookes

Ref, firefox not opening homepage (google search).
Secondary problem is firefox refuses to remove cookies under Options/Advanced/show cookies/Remove all cookies.
Any suggestions??

Do you have an extension like TACO (Abine) that maintains a set of OPT-OUT cookies?
* Targeted Advertising Cookie Opt-Out (TACO): https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/11073
<blockquote>TACO with Abine prevents over 100 different online advertising networks (including Google, Microsoft and Yahoo) from displaying highly targeted advertisements using the detailed information on your web surfing habits. TACO disables most behavioral advertising by setting 100+ permanent, generic, non personally identifiable "opt-out" cookies directly into the browser. 
 
Unlike other opt-out solutions, this tool will make the opt out cookies completely persistent. That is, clearing the browser's cookies will delete all other installed cookies, except these.

My security software controls the license verifications, firefox refuses to acknowledge this.

I am running BitDefender Total Security 2012, it manages all the licensing and verification for websites. BitDefender has a root kit that it keeps trying to give to firefox to show that the site has already been verified by BitDefender, but firefox will not accept it. Any website that requires a user name and password, including gmail, facebook, and websites for my school (I am an IT student at the local community college) firefox refuses to load it saying that it can't verify the site when BitDefender already verified it. Instead of loading the page it just shows the box with the yellow man holding a flag. How do I make FireFox comply?

In Firefox Options / Privacy be sure "Remember download history" is checked. To see all of the options on that panel, "Firefox will" must be set to "Use custom settings for history".
To find your OS information, on your Windows desktop, right-click the My Computer icon, choose Properties, under System on that small window is info about your OS.

Firefox Menu and some other forms show blank

When I open the Firefox side menu (the new one with the three horizontal lines) initially it shows fine, but then if I try to click anything in it or open it again, it only opens blank space and I cannot see anything. Same goes for any pop-up forms (allow add-on installations, remember passwords etc) - blank white frame where the form should be. The forms themselves are still clickable, if you can guess where the buttons are - for example, I can guess where Allow button on an addon install form is and blindly click it and it will work.
This is not an addon issue - same thing happens in Safe Mode! Also, this is only on one particular desktop and only with Firefox (has been this way for a while, so, this is not the new version). Also, hardware acceleration is disabled. Also, the regular top menu works fine.
I wish I could add screenshots to help you understand the issue...
Thanks in advance for any pointers as to what might be causing it.

You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
You need to close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
You can check if there is an update for your graphics display driver and check for hardware acceleration related issues.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers
You can try to disable OMTC and leave hardware acceleration in Firefox enabled.

You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

MV45AFZB - FORM USEREXIT_CHECK_VBAP USING US_DIALOG - incompletion log

Hello,
I'm struggling with a problem concerning the incompletion log after deleting a value in the named user exit.
I check if the profit center has a certain value in the form USEREXIT_CHECK_VBAP USING US_DIALOG. if this is the case, the system deletes the value. But my problem is that at this moment, the incompletion log is not updated. Do I have to update the table xvbuv manually with the new entry ? Or is there another way to update this ?
Thanks in advance !

That's not entirely true - it depends on the user, what changes on the line item, and what the criteria are for blanking out the value. Removing the value would be the normal trigger if the field is in the item incompletion procedure but not necessarily if done via code.
The incompletion check occurs in routine VBAP_PRUEFEN_ENDE and requires that something has changed in VBAP in order to be triggered. If the routine has already been called and then you change a VBKD-based value on the item, such as the incoterms, then the incompletion check is skipped but the userexit_check_vbap call is still made afterwards. In this scenario, if you click 'Save' after making the incoterms change, the profit center value gets wiped out and no incompletion is triggered unless you append the value back to the table (or make a subsequent check with RV_CHECK_DOCUMENT_INPUT). I'm assuming this is why the poster asked the question. Might be a bug, but SAP would probably tell you it's 'working as designed'...

Ever since updating to 7.0.1 I am unable to attach anything to e-mails sent using Hotmail with my firefox browser. I have no problems using IE. Any ideas?

(the attachment buttons are all visible, but the cursor does not change from an arrow to a finger to click on them)

@corel: Many thanks for your response.
I did all the steps suggested by you, viz. clearing the cache and removing all the cookies of all the Google products. Unfortunately, when I tried to log into my G-mail account, the original problem I had posted, '''just returned'''! ! So, I have not been able to successfully log on to G-mail from Mozilla Firefox 8, the current version I am using.
In the mean while, I found that logging in to G-mail from the Google Chrome browser works fine. But I am not happy with the Chrome, as it lacks many of the elegant features of Firefox.
Further, from the HELP forum of G-mail,
I found that they have updated G-mail to "G-Mail2" and now to "Better G-Mail2". But I was unable to get any information on how to create an account under either of those newer versions from Firefox.
So, I have to sadly report that your suggested solution did not work, nor was I able to log in to any of the newer versions.
Please HELP! Please HELP! Please HELP!
With warm regards.
