Firefox stopped downloading from internet & so did Thunderbird. But MS Explorer still brings up the data. Firefox works offline. Reinstalling firefox made no difference. Help!

When I start Firefox, it fails to bring up the homepage (google.com) with the label "untitled" on the 1st tab. Clicking on any bookmarks leaves the page blank. Switching to "offline" will bring up old websites, but no "refresh". At the same time, Thunderbird stopped working with the message "Looking up pop.gmail.com" without contact.

Stop downloading from internet on CISCO1941/K9

Hi,
Pls. suggest some commands to stop downloding from internet on CISCO1941/K9.
Reg

On Windows I usually get two files: a placeholder for the real name and then the .part file which grows during the download and then disappears when it is complete.
Maybe try changing the location where you save downloads, it's on the General tabs of the Preferences dialog. If you normally use "Always ask me where to save," you have to change that temporarily in order to access the directory setting. Perhaps that will sort out Firefox's internal settings.

Pdf files unable to be downloaded from internet explorer

I have just purchased my first ipod nano, 4th generation. Since I have downloaded itunes to my computer I cannot view pdf files from internet explorer. I then removed itunes from the computer and pdf files could be downloaded from internet explorer. I then downloaded and installed itunes again and had the same problem all aver again. Could someone please tell me why this is happening.

Hi there mba,
Check out this thread, here a post from dansmith details the following steps:
"The issue is caused when Windows creates the printer profile in the control panel that it doesn't correctly create it with the drivers.
We're not going to completely uninstall all the HP software, instead we're going to remove the corrupt Windows printer profile and reinstall it. Total time for this on an average computer is about 5-10 minutes to completely repair (including reboot).
1) Navigate to Start Menu > Devices and Printers or Start Menu > Control Panel > Printers
2) Select each printer profile for the printer with an issue, then select remove device/printer.
3) Reboot
4) Navigate to Start Menu > All Programs > HP > insert model # here > Add Printer (or Setup Wizard)
5) Follow the setup prompts to reinstall the printer profile and it recreates the Windows printer.
6) Run the HP Update Tool from Start Menu > All Programs > HP if your printer installs it, rebooting afterwards if necessary.
7) Test by printing google.com (uses very little ink when the test page comes out)."
Try his steps out and let us know if it helps. '
Best of Luck!

Download from internet to my mac an then to USB, but from UBC in can't download to PC! Why?

Appologize for wrong typing (UBC instead of USB!) I would to know why when I download music to my mac laptop (that goes to itunes), and download to USB, why tthrough that USB the music can't be transfered to a PC type computer or or cell phone (not iphone) through that USB?
Is it itues that doen't work for PC, or it's the same USB that can't work with both mac and PC?

Program downloaded from internet are you sure you want to open

Hi Guys
I've got an issue i cant solve.
basically when opening programs i've downloaded from internet i.e .dmg files, and there installed in my applications, im getting the prompt that
" this program was downloaded from the internet, are you sure you want to open it? "
i can open and close the application and will still get the prompt, after reboots.
any suggestions
i've tried running cleanups with programs such as onyx as well but doesnt help
Cheers

If it keeps coming back after the first time for that app, then try repairing permissions using Disk Utlity.
It will report a lot of stuff that you can safely ignore. I'm not sure if it will fix the problem, but it might.
The Quarantine attribute is supposed to be stripped off when you OK it, but it appears it is not. It could be a problem with permissions that is preventing the attribute from being removed.

Unable to download candy crush on iPad, all restrictions are off but blank page appears when directed to download from internet

Have updated software to latest version, ensured all restrictions are off, can only find guides and cheats in App Store but not the actual game. Have tried to download from internet but get redirected back to App Store where blank page appears and nothing comes up....

I also encountered this problem. I'm afraid I didn't meticulously document my work, but here are the step I took that might be relevant. I downgraded to IE9 and then down to IE8. I tried the
BypassSSLNoCacheCheck and BypassHTTPNoCacheCheck settings in the registry, which didn't work for me. I tried moving the location of the temporary internet files folder by modifying it directly in the registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer \ User Shell Folders
HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer \ Shell
This didn't work either. While I could see that I had the invisible content.ie5 folder in there, plus the randomly named folders, there was nothing cached in those folders. Cacls.exe showed
that the user had full control, and I could past files into those folders. This seemed to rule out a problem with permissions on the temp ie files folder.
The big clue for me was this thread when someone said that it worked for the administrator account, but not others. While logged in as the affected user, I tried deleting:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer (the entire folder, with all its subkeys)
and also: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings (again, the entire folder, along with all its subkeys).
I tried running IE again, and downloads work again! In the internet control panel, I now see a path listed for the temporary files folder (the path I specified), and the cache is set to 50MB
now instead of being stuck at 0. I haven't tried updating back to IE9 yet.
I suspect that changing the location of the temporary IE files folder was unessecary, and that all that I really needed to do was delete the two regkey folders. IE10 may be adding some setting
there that gets left after uninstalling it that causes IE9 and IE8 to choke. Hopefully this will save someone the trouble of rebuilding profiles.

Downloading a movie from i-tunes, it won't stop downloading from i-tunes but it is already downloaded to my i-pad how do you get it to stop downloading from i-tunes?

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
If those don't work - sign out of your account - Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad and then go back to Settings>Store and sign in again.

How can I save the .mp4 files downloaded from internet to ipad memory so that I don't have to download everytime to view them again

How can I save the .mp4 files downloaded from internet to ipad memory so that I don't have to download everytime to view them again. Also they might remove them from internet so I can't rely on the bookmark to them.

I'm trying to send home movies to my 10 year old nephew who lives across the country. He doesn't have a computer. He has an iPod touch. His parents have computers. But I don't want everything I ever try to have him do result in "you need your parent's computer for this." It's getting really embarrassing. I have converted my family over to Apple computers but now they want to buy iPhones, iPads, and iPods even though I tell them to go Android. It took a decade to convert them away from windows now I'm trying to keep them away from these freedom limited iOS devices and they won't listen. Then it becomes my responsibility to make their iPads print to their fancy pre-airprint color laser jet printers, get home movies onto them, and countless other things. It's driving me nuts.
I have converted these files to a format that the iOS devices will play directly off of dropbox. Now, how do I get the infernal devices to save it instead of play it?

Why won't Adobe reader no longer let me view previously download (from Safari) pdf's? I am running OSX 10.8.5 and have uninstalled and reinstalled latest version of Reader?

Why won't Adobe reader no longer let me view previously download (from Safari) pdf's? I am running OSX 10.8.5 and have uninstalled and reinstalled latest version of Reader. I get this error message "Adobe Reader could not open 'OD Test Bed Proposals_0.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)." I have tried changing the 'open with' options too. Thanks

Try this:
Go to: Mac HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins
Trash the AdobePDFViewer.plugin and AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin files
Empty the trash
Relaunch Safari. You can now download undamaged PDFs.

Again without stating the trouble shooting steps you have taken, its hard to direct you with any information.
Try a different port on the computer.
Does the iphone beep when u plug it up. ?
Plug iphone into computer and give it 3 to 4 minutes to see if it connects and is running slow.,
Delete the apple mobile device from your computer.
Upgrade itunes to newest version.
Is you USB cord defective ?
Any USB 3.0 on your system ? .
Delete or Disable any antivirus program on your computer ?
I will tell u the problem is your computer not the phone.
We could do this for hours.

How can I stop iPhoto from reidentifying faces I have already 'crossed', while still being able to identify and sort new faces.

iPhoto has detected faces of people I dont know, in my 'iPhoto faces' whenever I click the cross in the corner of the face (when sorting faces) the face temporarily disappears, but once I have uploaded a fresh batch of photos (and want to identify new faces) it automatically re-identifies the old photos that I don't want to have to sort again. How can I stop iPhoto from reidentifying faces I have already 'crossed', while still being able to identify and sort new faces.

Thank you, that makes sense (I think!) However, I need to be able to tell iPhoto who the people identified in my photos are, does that make sense? How do I identify the people in my new photos without clicking 'find faces'. I know that button searches through my photos to find faces, but it also gets me to the place where I identify the faces as my friends and family, is there a shortcut to get to that place without clicking 'find faces'? That is what I really need, please help!!

I have an external hard drive from my time capsule that stopped working on me. I am attempting to access the data with a hard drive reader on my MAC. I am able to see the drive in disk utility and under system info USB. But I am unable to access the data.

I have an external hard drive from my time capsule that stopped working on me. I am attempting to access the data with a hard drive reader on my MAC. I am able to see the drive in disk utility and under system info USB. But I am unable to access the data and it does not show on the desktop when connected.

Ok if disk utility was able to verify the drive I doubt there is any problem.. are you trying to open a TM backup??
You need to mount the sparsebundle then check the actual info inside the bundle.
Don't use disk warrior.. if the disk has verified then unless you deliberately deleted files there is nothing that is going to do.
Pondini has a lot of stuff about getting access to the sparsebundle.

But if you have copied info to the TC that is now gone.. and the disk is ok.. I am not sure.. the TC will not have deleted the files itself.

I run Tiger OSX on one MacBook and SnowLeopard on another. Photos were downloaded from Tiger to SnowLeopard, and now iPhoto won't open on the Tiger Mac. Will upgrading iPhoto fix this problem?

What matters is the version of iPhoto you have on the different machines. Can you tell us what they are, and what exact error message you get.
