Firefox was fast when I first started using. Now, very slow to open and freezes often. Frequent message is "Warning-unresponsive script". Do I need to switch back to Internet Explorer?
Switched from Internet Explorer because seemed slow. Firefox was fast at first. Then upgraded to Firefox 4 and frequently have trouble opening. Sometimes page doesn't open, or is very slow. If I try to open again I will get Mozilla Firefox Unresponsive or a message that say "Warning-Unresponsive Script". Often have to restart and do the whole thing again. Don't really want to switch back to Internet Explorer, but getting tired of taking a half hour to get into my emails!
I am having the same problem, but not sure what's causing the slow down. Restarting in safe mode fixes the performance problem... but disabling all plug ins and extensions in normal mode (and restarting firefox) still shows the bug. Any ideas?

Firefox is very slow to open and freezes often. Frequent message is "Script Error Message:
"A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete":
This is one of the scripts that always appears after the mozilla screen freezes for 2 minimal to 5 or more sometimes minutes, not only that the screen freezes, i can't support anymore this slowness, i need answers now, i don't want to switch to internet explorer or chrome or wherever. A search that took me 1 minute before, now takes me 5 minutes.
The Error Scripts:

My Google toolbar was deleted when I downloaded the latest version of Firefox. It will not re-load because it is not compatible. Is this problem with Google or with Firefox? Will it be fixed soon, or will I have to go back to Internet Explorer?

I have an I phone 3gs. When I go to Settings, then General, then Cellular, only Cellular Data and Enable 3G appear. There is no Roaming"" option to turn on or off. When I first started using the phone it was there, and I turned it off. Why is it no longer there? What can I do to get it back? I am being charged roaming charges!!
My iphone 4s has the Cellular Data and Data Roaming but does NOT have the option of ROAMING Voice&Data. Do you know how to enable it?

When I first started using my iPad 3,I thought Safari was just a suggested homepage offered by Apple. I replaced it with Google. This was about 3 months ago(due to illness) don't really remember exactly what I did. Could anyone help me restore Safari? Please,would so appreciate it. Mar.cia
If you want Google as your homepage, open Safari.
Type www.google.com in the address bar
Then tap the action icon (box with a right facing arrow just to the left of the address bar).
Then tap: Add to Home Screen
That you can access your homepage directly from your Home screen. -

When I first started using Collections, I followed someone's advice and always clicked 'create virtual copy' -- so I now have a huge number of unused/useless VCs that I would like to clear out. Is there any way to 1) filter to show all virtual copies that have not been changed (but keep the ones that I have edited or changed in any way, 2) delete the unchanged virtual copies but keep the collection that holds them intact? I can picture a work-around for the second part by color coding all the unused VCs along with their original, deleting the unedited VCs, going to the folder and selecting all the colored originals, dragging them to the colection and then removing the color lable. Cumbersome, but doable.
Umm no not that i remember. It just randomly started happening. I reformatted the hard drive for mac (journaled) but it was working fine since i did it until now

Why my Illustrator CC is now very slow for opening a 2MB AI file (about 5 minutes), at the beginning (1 month ago) it was very fast (10 seconds).
Assuming that you system meets minimal requirements for CC, make sure you have enough space on your hard drive. By saying enough, I try not to cross 3/4 of its capacity but trivially saying, the more free space the better and the faster the drive the better (I've been considering an SSD drive but still running a regular HDD).
If you are on Windows, clean up the %TEMP% folder regularly and keep the disk neat using the defragmentation tool.
Click Start>Run>enter %temp% , wait for the files to load and select all, hit Shift+DEL to remove them permanently.
For the defrag tool, you can use either the defrag /? command from the command line or right-click the drive, click Properties > Tools > Defragmentation>Defragment Now
Other than that it requires deeper analysis to find performance bottleneck. -
I have recently transferred my iPhoto Library to my external hard drive (WD MyBook Live) and have some questions. Since I have done this and used the "alt + option" to select it as my default library I have been having some issues. When using the library on the external drive as my default drive it takes a very long time to load compared to when it was on my macbook's hard drive. Is this normal? Also, once it does load the thumbnails are only viewable when scrolling quickly through the photos and they are very blurry. However, if I were to select one randomly (because of this problem I have no way of knowing which one I'm selecting) it brings it up in the edit view and it is a crystal clear picture.
Is there a way to fix these issues? I'd love to be able to use the iPhoto Library off the external drive to free up space on my macbook but if it isn't going to work as streamlined as it would on my macbook hard drive. I have not yet deleted the original iPhoto Library from my macbook because I did not want to do so until I knew the new iPhoto library on the external drive was working properly. Does this make a difference?
Please help!The problem lies with occasional dropouts that can corrupt the library's database files if they are being written to as the time of dropout. It's the nature of wireless networks. If you have a very strong signal throughout and are willing to take a chance then go for it.
But as for the speed, it must be iPhoto 11 and it's complexity causing the slowness. I had tried using a library on an EHD connected to my iMac from my laptop wirelessly with iPhoto 7 or 8 and it was pretty fast. I think it was 7 before faces and places came into being.
Send a feature request to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html to improve wireless performance, etc.

How can I delete the apple Id sign every time I sign in and I do not want texts from phone showing up on computor
Hey dottiesue,
Sounds like you're receiving iMessages from your iPhone on your iMac, which you don't want. If that's the case, you can remove your account from the Messages app:
List all of the email addresses in the “You can be reached for messages at” list. You can find this list by choosing Messages > Preferences, and then selecting iMessage in the Accounts pane.
Or you can check with your friends and ask them to just send iMessages to your phone number instead of email, as they won't arrive on the iMac that way:
Check with your friends to see if they’re messaging you at an email address listed in the “You can be reached for messages at” list or if they’re sending messages to a phone number.
Messages can send messages to a phone number, but it can’t receive messages sent to a phone number.
If you send messages to a phone number, your friend will receive the message on iPhone, but not in Messages on Mac, iPad, or iPod touch.

THANKS.
Depending on which version of Firefox you're using, it no longer currently supports the plug-in provided with Adobe Reader. You have to use PDF Plugin 2.4.4. Just disable the Adobe plugin and use the Schubert plugin.

Free HMRC software will not run properly as it creates tabs using the browser. HMRC technical support have confirmed I must switch back to Internet Explorer to complete the required tasks, otherwise the software will not work properly.
Is there a quick way to change default web browser without having to uninstall Firefox each time?You can use an extension like IE Tab or IE View to use the IE rendering engine in Firefox.

The voice that was on when I first set up my ipad came back on and now I have to double click to get into my apps and can't use my apps because her voice is talking. How do I make the voice stop and my IPAD work again.
If you've turned VoiceOver on then see if triple-clicking the home button turns it off, and then change what Settings > General > Accessibility > Triple-Click Home is set to.
Otherwise, via 'the touch to select double-tap to activate' process you need to go into Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver and turn it off
The manual (http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad) also says that you should be able to switch voice-over off by connecting to your computer's iTunes :
Turn VoiceOver on or off in iTunes: Select iPad in the iTunes sidebar. In the Options section of the Summary pane, click Configure Universal Access. Select VoiceOver, then click OK.
So select Configure Universal Access at the bottom of the Summary tab and set Seeing to Neither -

I looked at system.log in the system profiler today and see lots of activity at 2 a.m. when I was fast asleep, should I worry? It seems to reset hostname and mentions frequent transitions for interface, looks weird to me (I'm not a teckie!)

You don't need any kind of security software.
Just surf the web carefully, pay attention to where you're going and don't install anything that you don't recognize. If you are asked to enter an admin user name and password, DON'T. Unless you know for sure that you initiated the installation from a known and reliable source (like Apple).
Mac malware relies on social engineering. No amount of security/anti-virus, blah, blah, blah software is going to help.
