Firefox stops working after a short time of running, I keep getting a Net Error message
I am very frustrated with Firefox! I can load firefox fine in the morning, but after a short time it quits working & I get a Net Error message. I notice it most on Facebook! When I click like, it won't do nothing but sut there working, if open in a new tab, I get the net error message. I try to open other websites & get the net error message. I checked & I am running the latest version. I am running fine on IE, but I like Firefox! I've been using it for years with no problems, but after an update is when I started experiencing problems. I waited thinking, firefox will fix it with another update, but no fix! I am running Windows 7 on a Gateway computer & have had no problems with older versions of Firefox. I'm sending all this information via Internet Exployer since Firefox won't work!

Why do the "SAVE", "SAVE AS" and "UNDO" functions of InDesign CS6 stop working after a short time?
Why do the "SAVE", "SAVE AS" and "UNDO" functions of InDesign CS6 stop working after a short time?
Normally they don't. You might have some sort of problem on your system, possibly a conflict with other software, or corrupt ID prefs or application. Trashing the prefs is easy, and good place to start: Replace Your Preferences
It will help if you tell us the OS version, whther you've installed the 8.0.1 patch, and how you are trying to access the commands, and what happens when you do. Is this isolated to one file, or does it happen with all files? -
everytime i open my firefox it says it can't open the site.
Nothing is kept by Mozilla.org unless you use the Firefox Sync.
There are two things that can help you.
1) Go to the '''''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/ Mozilla Add-ons Web Page]''''' {web link}
(There’s a lot of good stuff here) and Log in.
When ever you decide to download an add-on or whatever from here,
On the top right side of the add-ons page is a button marked
'''Add To Favorites.''' If you need to find them again, just go to your
user profile at the '''''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/ Mozilla Add-ons Web Page]''''' They are all listed in your profile.
2) These add-ons can help you a great deal;

FEBE allows you to quickly and easily backup your
Firefox extensions, history, passwords, and more.
In fact, it goes beyond just backing up -- It will actually rebuild
your saved files individually into installable .xpi files.
It will also make backup of files that you choose.

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." -
after unlocking over the phone from ATT and resetting iphone 3gs I keep getting the same error message "could not activate phone" neither Apple Store Tech or ATT were able to fix this .
Itunes displays a message saying "there is no SIM installed in the phone you're trying to activate" even if there is the same SIM that was working minutes before.
The SIM works on a different phone I tested it.
Any ideas?? TKS Sandro“Could Not Activate EDGE” error message Update ...
Well it’s going on day 6 and still sporadic to no EDGE on my iPhone. At one time, it was thought to be a defective iPhone – since my partner’s iPhone works just fine.
After over three hours on the land line with AT&T and Apple, I was sent to the local Apple store for a replacement. Of course, as soon as I walked into the Apple store my iPhone worked just fine. ;-( The local store replaced my iPhone and suggested I go home and activate the phone as a NEW iPhone, that way if there was a bug in my data it would not carry over to the new phone. Did that and well… still sporadic to no EDGE. By the way, I have the Big White “E” to the right of the 5 bars and AT&T .
AT&T said last week they has “Software” issues in my area, but the CSR I talked to did not know what the issues were or if they were the cause of my problems. He did say they would call me back today to see how my iPhone was doing, but alas, no call back.
When I’m next to my partner, trying to access the same feature, his iPhone is just so fast. Mine hangs up, draws out and finally I get the error message, “Could Not Activate EDGE”. I am updated to version “1.1.4(4A102)”. New (refurbished) iPhone direct from Apple.
I remember reading a while back about some problems others had when they upgraded to from 1.1.3 to 1.1.4. I never had those problems, but it sure looks like they may have started. Does anyone remember what the problems with 1.1.4 were, what was done if anything to correct them, and best of all any suggestions?
By the way, this is Seattle, not some small – out of the way place where connection and signal strength is expected to be second rate. Also, I had full function of my iPhone from the day I bought it in June 2007, all the way up to Thursday March 20, at 2120.
Thanks

After the most recent iPhoto update, I keep getting the following error: "iPhoto quit unexpectedly while using the Sonix SN9c201 webcam plugin." This seems to happen after *every* iPhoto update. Is there a fix on the way?
As you can see below, when I right click, I have no such option. In the User Account Settings, I'm operating as the "System Administrator".
Any other suggestions? -
FireFox stopped working after I tried to update my settings
I have just built a new computer; x58 Gigabyte, 920 cpu, windows 7 Ultimate. I downloaded and installed the latest version of Firefox and everything was working great. I updated my bookmarks and everything still worked fine. I tried to update my personal settings by copying a file in my personal folder and Firefox stopped working. "Can't run because it is already running". I rebooted, no help. I removed and reinstalled no help. I am at your mercy please don't make me use Internet Explorer
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== today ==

Add-ons for android Firefox stop working after reboot
I have Firefox (ver. 21.0) installed on my Ramos W30 tablet running ICS (4.0.4) and my UG007 android stick running JB (4.1.1). They both have the same problem. After a reboot, the add-ons stop working. If you look at the add-ons, all the info which would show below "options" is gone. The only way I've been able to get them working again is to uninstall and reinstall the add-ons.
Any other way to fix this or prevent this from happening?I only use 2 add-ons and it happens with both. I use adblock and tabstothefront. They both stop working after reboot.

Firefox stops working after computer goes to sleep 37.0.1
Running Win7 Home Premium and Firefox 37.0.1. Since this upgrade, when any of my three computers goes to sleep, Firefox stops working. Sometimes the process can be exited, but regardless, Firefox cannot be reloaded and the computer must be rebooted. When the computer has gone to sleep, and Firefox has stopped working, other browsers, such as Explorer also say they cannot connect to the internet. The fact that this problem simultaneously appeared on different computers following this upgrade suggests that this is a Firefox problem. The only way I can avoid this is to exit Firefox after every use. In many cases, the only web page visited during a session is google.
This is a known issue, and the programers are looking at it.

My Microsoft Office 2004 stopped working after upgrading to Mountain Lion. How can I get it to work again, or, how can I uninstall MT?
Office 2004 Applications Won't Work in Lion
You must have Office 2004 which is a PPC-only suite and will not work in Lion. You need to upgrade to Office 2011 - Mactopia - or you can try the freeware suite, Libre Office, that is functionally similar to Office 2007 for Windows except it works on Lion.
You may want to consider as well:
These two suites are similar to Libre Office but not as current or as well-supported:
NeoOffice
Open Office
And, then there is Apple's iWork suite:
Pages - word processing and layout
Keynote - presentation
Numbers - spreadsheet
Each can open and save Office compatible files. They may be purchased separately via the Mac App Store for $19.99 each.
(Access to the Mac App Store requires Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or higher and an Apple ID.) -
Every time my system updates I get system extension error messages.
Every time my system updates I get system extension error messges. It reads that certain extensions could not be loaded/used which seems to be an apple issue. Unfortunately, unless you have apple care there is no way to contact them. I am on LION and my updates are current. Is anyone else having this issue?
A "clicking noise" is often a sign that a hard drive is malfunctioning. Suggest that you power down the device and take it to an Apple store to have them take a look, or contact Customer Service at Apple for instructions.

Hi, I have numerous different Apple products, an iphone 5c, iPad mini and iPod touch 5th gen.
I have had them all for only relatively short periods of time yet the lightning cable has stopped working on all of them?
On the touch, charging has stopped completely?
Is this a manufacturing issue with the new charging system?Hi, yes I'm using the original apple cables.
This definitely isn't user error nor confined just to me, the devices are used by different people in the home.
On a quick sample around the office (survey of 7 people let me add) 4 of them said the cables had broken on them and had to be replaced.
Having also searched through the forums it appears this is a fairly widespread issue.
It's defo not user error! -
Headphones stop working after a certain time and the notification for sound change has disappeared
HP Pavilion dv6-6176sa
Win7 64bit.
I have a Pavilion dv6, and occasionally no sound will go through headphones when the jack is plugged in. The headphones themselves are not at fault, they are brand new and work fine.
When the headphones are plugged in, the sound will only go through the laptop speakers. I've tried updating the drivers, fiddling with the jack and socket (as I read on google), the only resolution I have found is to restart the comp, which is a bit of a pisstake in all fairness and I'd rather not do that every time it happens.
5 minutes ago I was watching a TV show, listening through the headphones, when I pulled out my USB mouse (and accidentally the charger with it). The sound then switched from the headphones to the speaker.
If I open the sound settings, it will display the headphones as being plugged in, but the sound indicator bar (thingy) will only rise and fall on the speaker icon bar.
Currently I have the audio jack pulled out about a centimetre, this allows sound through the headphones, but the sound is noticeably different to what it should be.
I had rolled it back to "High Definition Audio Device", then reinstalled it to the most current driver. This hasn't fixed it.
Also, this may be a related issue: (I guess) around the same time, the beats audio notification that pops up on screen when the volume is changed has disappeared and doesn't display when the volume has changed.
In microsoft sound control panel, it has the default speakers and the headphone logo, when i plug in the jack, a green phone circle thing appears by the headphone option, meaning it works i guess. However, the description changes from "ready" to "default communications device" and nothing changes for the regular speaker device.
When I go to >configure, and test each (L/R) speaker, if the headphones are plugged in, the noise is louder then when they're not plugged it
But yeah, brand new headphones, brand new laptop, it's mad. What's madder is that the headphones will work for x amount of time, then stop working when I next try to use them...bump...

My wired Apple mouse stopped working for a short time. Trying to figure out why.
System OSX Version 10.9.5 Processor 3.5 GHz Intel Core i7 I was surfing the web & my mouse was stuck on the screen. Could this be some kind of virus- spyware or malware? Never had this happen before. The keyboard the mouse is connected 2 kept working but the mouse stoped working momentarily. I pushed F3 & unplugged my mouse & plugged it back in. this fixed it but I am not sure that had anything to do with what caused my mouse to stop working.
Could be the USB port within the keyboard may have a problem in sustaining
a good connection. Sometimes those extra ports in keyboard fail. You can
see in the hardware portion of the activity monitor software in OS X what is
visible to the system as part of the chained USB items attached to the Mac.
To have a known-good spare mouse, keyboard, and any cable extensions,
is always a fair idea for the sake of troubleshooting and to get past a failure.
I use powered USB hubs with my Macs; but plug the keyboard directly into
the computer so as to have few issues with cold startup keyboard shortcuts.
The mouse does OK plugged into the hub, and a hub positioned so it can
be accessed easier than ports on the back of the computer makes sense.
If there is another hardware issue, or odd software extensions or add-ons
in your main user account, you'd have to test for those possibilities. To
try a second account to see if the same kinds of applications make it fail,
or run the Apple Hardware Test in the main user account, may not take
into the result any software that you'd use when normally at the Mac.
Sometimes the wire to the mouse can get weak and fail near the mouse;
so when that happens, it's best to have a spare on hand, ahead of trouble.
On the other hand, software conflicts could cause a frozen mouse or any
kind of odd pointer activity.
Good luck & happy computing!
