Firefox updated last night and now when I click on an external link I get a message saying "There was a problem sending the command to the program".

I've tried opening a link to a POP3 email account off of a messenger program as well as other site links sent to me through a messenger program. I get the same message, each time.
Also links sent to me in Thunderbird do not open in a browser window.

Just restored and updated my ipod and now when I connect it to my computer I get a message saying "this ipod cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started" what does this mean?

I'd start with the following document with that one:

After updating Firefox to 10.0.2, when I click on a link in an email, I get an error box saying "There was a problem sending a command to the program".

I have not changed/updated my mail client, Windows Live Mail, so I assume the problem is with the updated Firefox.

Hi,
Have you try to un-select the Ignore other applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) setting?
Click the Microsoft Office Button, and then click Excel Options.
Click Advanced, and then click to clear the Ignore other applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE)
check box in the General area.
Click OK.
If the problem cannot resolve, the Run as administrator may selected.
Go to Office default install location: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12.
Right-click EXCEL.EXE > Properties >
Compatibility tab.
Under Privilege Level, uncheck Run this program as an administrator
check box.
Best regards.

When I try and download a document from my email I get a message saying "There was a problem with the Windowslive Hotmail Service (a temporay network connectivity issue that has noting to do with your computer

The details are listed in the question. However when I try to send an email message I get a message that says mail can't be sent but when I look in my sent file it shows the message sent.

yes it should be covered using 1 year warranty. You cant get refund unless you have some customer protection program. So call applecare, I dont know the number in the UK.

On trying to open a URL from an external program or a saved webpage I get an error saying "There was a problem sending the command to the program." It did not do this in the last version I was using, I am now using FIrefox 8.

It happens with all programs, including the default Explorer.exe (for saved pages).

It somehow decided to fix itself? It just worked for some reason after I said something here (well, a few hours later).

HT201413 updated last night and now ipod says to coonect to itunes which i cant because apple application support was not found. tells me to uninstall and reinstall itunes. Will i lose all my music or is it still on my ipod?

Updated ipod last night and now when turned on tells me to coonect to itunes (picture of usb cable with arrow to itunes). I can't connect to itunes on computer because apple application support can't be found. Tells me to uninstall then reinstall itunes. Will I lose all my music or is it still on my ipod?

Under normal circumstances, an uninstall/reinstall doesn't touch your content. (That being said, it's still always a good idea to maintain a current backup at all times in case of disasters.)

Updated iTunes to 11.0.3 and now when I try to use Airport Express I get a message in iTunes that states, "an unknown error has occured (-15000.) I gave the Airport a hard re-start, so I don't think that is the issue. Using Windows 7.

Looks like I fixed it., thanks to another post I read. I went into my Norton Security. Under Settings. Chose Firewall. Program rules. changed the itunes setting from "auto" to "allow" This also fixed my error (-3212) which would not allow me to connect to the iTunes store.

I go to an internet company and try to download a document from it. A tab pops up saying the download was successful, but all I see is a blank screen with UI at the top. I don't understand where the download is going.

Thanks so much for your reply fanboy20.
Yes, just made sure of that. I do have the latest version of Flash player. But I have just staggered upon the answer. Chalk it up to being a newbi. I was not putting my apple tv to sleep and it would not allow me to see
you tube on my computer while it was still operating on my TV. When I realized that, I put the apple tv to sleep and bingo, my computer runs you tube fine. Thanks again for your response.

When going from the desktop to a website, I get the following message. "There was a problem sending the command to the program" Even though I get this message, I still connect to the website.

As reported in earlier replies, the annoyance disappeared after I upgraded to Roboform 7.5.6, from 7.5.4.

I cant get my iphone to show up in my itunes...i downloaded the update last night and now it will not sync at all

I cant get my iphone to show up in my itunes. I downloaded the new update last night and I havent been able to sync it since

See section 5 of TS1538: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows.
If that doesn't help it may pay to tear down and reinstall iTunes in the following manner...
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

Help!! I downloaded the update last night, and now my phone wont even turn on!

I downloaded the update last night for my Pearl Flip, and it did the usual (turn on/turn off) during the update.
When it was finished it turned off-figured it had to reboot to take effect-now it has a new hour glass on the main screen when you open it up, and wont get past the 'app world error' reset page.
It thinks/thinks/thinks and takes me about 20-30min to get the error. I've done the reset it asks me to (mainly b/c thats the only option).
So I think it's reseting, then I get the same darn thing. HELP

Yikes...a 200 error...while the official KB for that is not presently available, the usual fix is to reload your OS...something during the update did not go right.

Hopefully, you already have a good backup of your data...because it is already gone.
Good luck and let us know!
