Firefox starts but then I get halfway through what I am doing and it crashes?
I start firefox and sometimes it lets me get into a program and then crashes or sometimes crashes right after I start it. I have tried your instructions on your pages but nothing seems to work. That is one of many crash IDS
If it is asking you to update your security information it is most likely wanting you to update your security questions. If you update them, you should be able to download.

Firefox starts but all i get is a white blank screen
i was having a problem with my computer, it would start but then it would like do nothing. it wouldn't let me log on. so after doing all kinds of things i finally figured out it was the cable going into the monitor that was messed up. but after that when i tried to go into firefox all i get is a blank white screen with a tool bar on top that says mozilla firefox. how do i fix this problem? i have to use internet explorer right now and i hate it. i'm about to take this computer and throw it out the window.
i am certain i didn't do anything to the firefox while i was trying to get my computer to run. i don't know what happened to it. any help someone could give me would be great-> press '''F11''' to bring the computer out of FullScreen
-> Tap '''ALT''' key or press '''F10''' to show the Menu Bar
-> go to View Menu -> '''Zoom''' -> click '''Reset''' -> '''Page Style''' -> select '''Basic Page Style'''
-> go to View Menu -> Toolbars -> select '''Menu Bar''' and '''Navigation ToolBar''' -> unselect All Unwanted/Incompatible Toolbars
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> General -> '''When Firefox starts : select "Show My Home Page"''' -> Type the address of the website which you want to be your HomePage e.g. http://www.google.com

1) Block Pop-up windows 2) Load images automatically 3) Enable JavaScript
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Privacy -> History section -> '''Firefox will: select "Remember History"'''
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Security -> place Checkmarks on:
1) Warn me when sites try to install add-ons 2) Block reported attack sites 3) Block reported web forgeries 4) Remember Passwords for sites

I am having all kinds of trouble with itunes and updating my ipad. I open itunes up but it doesn't do anything except open to a blank screen. I try to access the itunes store but it won't go there. When I connect my ipad, and try to update it, it starts and then I get a message that says backup cannot be saved on this computer. I have tried everything suggested to no avail. This is the 2nd or 3rd time I have had problems with itunes. Sometimes I even get a message that I am not connected to the internet.
I have uninstalled and re-installed. Any help?You might not have enough space left on your hardrive.

My iPhone 4 is using 4.3.3 and I want to update to iSO 6.1. I can back it up and it starts to download it through iTunes but then I get an error message 0xE8000067.
Tried all the things on the apple support site (checked USB port, deleted the 3 exe files in Task Manager, tried a new cable). None worked. Got the same message on my old computer.
Any ideas??Amazing help from apple support over the phone. Restoring the computer fixed the problem.

My ipod songs get halfway through song and then move onto next song automat
Hello,
I'm rather frustrated. Got ipod as gift at weekend and have downloaded a couple of songs from ITunes.
They play fine on my laptop, but when I play them on my ipod, the song gets halfway through and will then automatically skip onto next song... sometimes it only gets 16 sec's into song and then moves straight on...
Have restored back to factory settings and then put the songs back onto my ipod and they're still playing up... can anyone help me???Hi Ab,
See this post for potential fixes:

Good luck,

I have a first generation MacBook Air that has been refurbished via the Apple store. I installed Snow Leopard about a year ago and now, my computer wont update! It will download the updates restart my computer, but then I get an error message and the computer wont restart!
What is a error message and what do you see when it appears?
Haven't much problem with Airs around here, since they have a SSD they tend to be more reliable.
Perhaps it was a bad update, have you ran through this list of possible fixes?
Do as many as possible, starting with #1. Until the problem is resolved.
Use the boot 10.6 USB instead of the disk of course.
Step by Step to fix your Mac -
Download starts but then stops...
So I've read other forums and searched this website for one, but I still can't find the answer. Whenever I try to download the file it will start but then after some time get stuck on a percentage(different every time) and then stop all together. I've tried using different browsers and a download manager, I have plenty of storage space also. It still won't work
I've heard that this may have something to do with my internet and secruity? Or something? Can someone tell me how to fix that? My technical skills are very very low and this is the first time I've used a mac.Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2. -
Just updated my Ipad operating system and one of my apps starts but then the screen turns white, with only the advertisment at the top showing
The normal suggestions.
Close the app,off fully. Double tap the home screen then touch and hold any of the icons on the task bar until they jiggle, then close them all off by touching the - sign.
Then reboot the pad and try the spp again. If same issue, delete the app, then reload it. ( no charge). You may just have a bad copy. If continues, write to the developer, they may need to do an update. I have an older version of the same app and it works fine.

Firefox starts, but fails to display websites with no error message.
Firefox starts, but when it tries to connect to a real website, i.e. google.com, mozilla.com, etc. it just... doesn't. There is no error message. There is no progress bar. No "Loading...". Nothing. It just continues to say "Untitled" in the tab name.
I tried updating to the latest firefox version. I tried reinstalling firefox. I tried creating a new profile. I tried clearing cache/cookies/etc. Nothing I did caused any change.
I have noticed that if I attempt to type in a random string of characters (clearly not a real website) or a made-up ip address, then it displays the proper error message... intermittently. I just tested it again, and apparently it doesn't always work.
*sigh* What now?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I went back to firefox after using Chrome.I have mac. And I have the same problem.
First page loads - and I can click on any link from that to continue opening it in tabs. But when I open new tab cmd+t and enter a website address to location bar, nothing happens.
I don't have a firewall.
I already deleted Firefox from applications and reinstalled. -
Why can I no longer install iTunes updates on my computer? I keep getting messages saying it fails, and to do it manually, but then I get popups questioning whether I have the authority to make these changes. And it never updates.
Make sure you are running as the Administrator of the Account.

I solved the problem. Had nothing to do with Mac or iphoto. Problem must be my the internet connection to my provider.
