Firefox tends to freeze at random and to fix I must use ctrl+alt+del. From there I can restore my previous session when I reopen firefox. This has never been an issue before Firefox 6
Firefox is giving me issues to where it crashes at supposedly random times. It has frozen up when merely left on but more than often tends to freeze when opening a new page. I have 4GB RAM, 3.00GHz Duel Core processor, 8800 GTX Nvidia GPU. This issue has never been so prominent until the Firefox 6 update.
Go to''' Tools'''
then '''Options'''
In privacy choose '''Remember History'''
Then go to
''General Tab''
At the start up drop down menu when firefox starts select
'''show my windows and tabs from last time'''
That should fix things

This has never been a problem before, but when I insert a CD, iTunes does not ask me if i want to import the songs. It will not play the CD and ejects it. I have tried several different CDs and cannot import or play any of them. I can play songs that are already in my library Suecq5
Try resetting the SMC Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) - Apple Support
and PRAM How to Reset NVRAM on your Mac - Apple Support
If that doesn't help you can try a cleaning disc, or a shot of compressed air but chances are good that your optical drive has failed. You can either replace it or buy an inexpensive external unit (but not Apple's as it won't work on macs with a built in drive working or not). -
Firefox browser will not close, even when using ctrl/alt/del
I downloaded the 4.0 beta firefox today, and have been using it most of the day with good success. Then I noticed when I closed the browser, the icon stayed active on my task bar. I clicked the icon and the browser reappeared on my screen. I tried several times to close it, the last time using ctrl/alt/del and task manager to cancel it. Nothing worked. I have a Dell Studio 1749 with Windows 7 , 64 bit, which may be the sorriest OS since Windows Millennium. Any help I can get would be greatly appreciated.
Michael Mayville -- [email protected]Isn't it {Shift+Ctrl+ESC} to open the Task Manager in Win7?? I know it was changed to that key combination in Vista.
As far as the problem with Firefox 4.0 not properly closing, see this: <br />

My Iphone calendar events are not showing up in iCal when I sync? Syncing has not been an issue till today?
I found this tip from a 2011 discussion on the same topic.
Open iCal and backup or export your entries. Make a note of the fie name and location, you're going to need them in a minute. Once your backup/export is completed, close the iCal application.
Open Finder and remove everything inside the "Username/Library/Calendars" folder. For instance, if your username is "Joe", then move everything inside the "Joe/Library/Calendars" folder.
Open the iSync application. It's located in the "/Applications/" folder. Once iSync is opened, go into the iSync Preferences (iSync -> Preferences) and push/click the "Reset Sync History" button. Then, close the iSync application.
Re-Open the iCal application and Import (File -> Import) a new calendar. When prompted, use your notes from Step #1 to select the file your created earlier. Once completed, close the iCal application (you should have all of your calendar entries back.)
Open the iTunes application and connect your Apple iPhone to the computer.
Within the Advanced section of the Info tab for the Apple iPhone, check the box the overwrites/replaces the Calendar data on the Apple iPhone.
Click the Apple/Sync button. New, modified and deleted entries should now be syncing correctly.
That's it! You should be all set and iTunes, iCal and our Apple iPhone should all be playing nicely as friends again. We've used the exact method to repair our own Apple iPhone at least once... maybe even twice. -
When I want to download it ask me for my password than it goes right to a security screen asking me answer three questions I never set up. This has never happened to me before. What do I do?
If it's a free app it won't charge you. Perhaps the billing info you have on file is outdated/incorrect and iTunes needs to verify it before allowing you to download anything first.
This is quite common actually. -

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
Cheers, Tom -

My Firefox homepage had a "Restore Previous Session" button but it has disappeared. SO when my Firefox crashes I lose all my tabs and tab groups, and this is very inconvenient. I have checked through all the "Options" seeing if there is some button there to enable this feature, but to no avail. I am frustrated as after a crash I spend hours revisiting all my links in my History menu to reset my tabs. Can you help?
In case you are using "Clear history when Firefox closes":
*do not clear the Browsing History
*Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history": [X] "Clear history when Firefox closes" > Settings
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Clear+Recent+History

I am being told that my current version of firefox is no longer protected. When I tried to upgrade to firefox 4 some time ago, the menu bar(?) was gone--no bookmarks. I set my computer back to an earlier date to get my book marks back and have been afraid to attempt this upgrade again. Firefox also appears to have tried to do the upgrade automatically and says I have incompatible add-ons. I have never had problems with previous updates. I have read negative reviews of firefox 4 and am frankly afraid of it. I hate to leave firefox and am afraid of losing my book marks as well. I find the "Help" forums etc. here extremely difficult to navigate and they seem to be aimed at people who are more tech savy than many of us are.
#Firefox 3.5.19 which you are using is no longer supported and is not being updated for any issues, including security problems.
#The Menu Bar (File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, Help) was replaced in Firefox 4 by the "Firefox button" in the upper left corner
#*You can turn the Menu Bar back on by doing one of the following in Firefox 4:
#**click Firefox button, click Options, click Menu Bar to select it
#**HOLD down the ALT key while pressing the keyboard letters VTM
#**right-click on an empty space in the Navigation Toolbar, then click Menu Bar to select it.
#Some information about Firefox 4 changes:
#*https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/features/
#*there is a link "watch the video" under '''''Improved Interface''''' on the above page
#You can make Firefox 4 look more like prior versions: http://www.computertechtips.net/64/make-firefox-4-look-like-ff-3-6/
Your bookmarks should be safe during the upgrade; they are in a separate place on your hard drive. You should keep them backed-up in case of any problems with your system. See:

Firefox 3.6.3 hangs up after some use. Can't find any specific site or action that causes this. Links w/in page and menu's such as most visited, latest headlines, and links like utube, google continue to work. Drop down menus (i.e. File, Edit, Tools, Help)/ will not open and I must use Alt+Cntrl+Del to get out of the page.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== 1 monthStart Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the ''Safe mode'' start window.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit") -
After updating to Firefox 5.0.1 and trying to open Firefox, it opens two tabs. One is the restore session tab and the other is the Firefox home tab. Nothing opens in the session restore tab and once the Firefox home tab loads the browser screen freezes with no crash ID's listed. The only way to get out is thru the task manager and ending the process. Firefox worked fine before updating.
Hi glivezey,
Try typing ''about:home'' into the address bar. Is that the page you are looking for? If so, go to ''Tools > Options > General'' and save it as your homepage. If that home page doesn't show up the next time you start Firefox, you should look at [[Preferences are not saved]].
Hopefully this helps! -

This has NEVER happened to me before: Idle during Log and Transfer
All of a sudden, when I try to log and transfer HD video from my Sony HDR-CX550 my clips just idle in the queue - they start to spin but then idle. I have dropped clips in the queue 100 times, 200, without this ever happening. The only thing I did a bit different was delete some footage from the camera itself last night - but that's NOTHING. I tried queueing up different clips from different days, IDLE.
I tried queueing up to different drives - IDLE
