Firefox will not open iTunes or open the correct link in iTunes

When I click on an iTunes link, sometimes iTunes will not open at all. I just get the "install iTunes" box. When it does open iTunes, it does not open the item linked.

Input Text will not allow me to access the correct answer!

Hi All
i am trying to create a simple quiz in school. I have one test question which requires the answer to be -1.
I have created Input text and assigned the variable answer for this question.
I have a button with the following AS2 script:
on (press, keyPress "<Enter>") {
 if(answer eq "-1" or answer eq "minus 1"
 or answer eq "Minus 1" or answer eq "Minus one" or answer eq "minus one")
 {_root.gotoAndStop(2)
 } else
 {_root.gotoAndStop(3)
Firstly whatever you type the numerical keys are immobilised on the keyboard when the .SWF file is built
Secondly I cannot enter the correct answer!! If I type in Minus 1 etc it goes to frame 3.
I have tried flags rather than frame numbers - same problem.
i have tried remaking the quiz as a separate file.
using CS4 and CS5 flash - windows 7 PC.
Please help!!

Thanks for the reply. I had instances for all elements but had code on teh but (Instance Enter). I have tried your code with my instance names. The button is Q1 (I was going to add more if it worked). The vaiable name for the Insert text box is ans1 so I used the code below. I added the code to frame 1 in teh timeline. I think this is what you meant so a frame script as opposed to a buton script. i have always scriped buttons (very simple). I have played around with the trace(); function but i am not sure where to run it from. I have added it to the script below. I tried Q1 which is the button and ans1 (variable). It must be wrong as I cannot see any output. Last thing. Is it not right ot use eq and or?? I am using Actionscript 2.
The disabled keys is the same running the code on my mac and pc!
Q1.onRelease = function() {
    if(ans1.text == "-1" || ans1.text == "minus 1" || ans1.text == "Minus 1" || ans1.text == "Minus one" || ans1.text == "minus one") {
         _root.gotoAndStop(2)
     } else {
         _root.gotoAndStop(3)
trace(Q1);

Firefox will not start (crashes on opening) following upgrade to Ubuntu 10.10; crash report specifies IcedTeaPlugin.so

After upgrading to Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) beta, Firefox will not open. A crash report is generated each time. Looking at all the crash reports, they specify the IcedTeaPlugin.so @0x7cec as the point where the crash occurs.

I was also having the same problem but it disappear once I removed the icedtea plugin from synaptic. After that I tried to re install the icetea plugin again and there was no issue in firefox, it started normally.
My icetea6-plugin version is 6b20-1.9.1-1ubuntu3

Since installing the latest update, Firefox will not load; it gives me the following error -- XML Parsing Error: not well formed.

since installing the latest update, Firefox first operated with some errors but now will not load at all; it gives me the following error --
XML Parsing Error: not well formed
locations chrome://browser/content/browser.xml
Line Number 1191, column 20:
utton id="back-forward-dropmarker" type="menu" chromedir="&locale.dir;"-------------------
please note that the words "utton ID" are exactly as the error message gives it; and at the end of the message there are exactly 19 hyphens.
I don't know why this faulty code is referencing things to do with "chrome"... the Chrome browser is not installed on this PC or anywhere on our network.
Also, this is not the first problem I had after clicking Firefox's prompt for the latest update. Before Firefox retreated into this error message, it was loading but running with some faults...
1. the bookmark symbol was not appearing on the right hand side of the URL line, so I had always to click on "bookmark this page", after which the bookmark symbol did appear; however I don't know if the bookmarking function worked properly.
2. the back and forward buttons were not highlighted, as if I had not come from a previous page; so once I clicked on a link to a new page I could not go back to where I came from because Fiefox thought I hadn't come from anywhere.
3. there may have been other errors, but I did not find them.
How do I reinstate my Firefox program to work properly please? do I have to download the latest version and reinstal? if so, do I have to remove the old version first? or is there a fix?
Even to write this message I have been forced to use (yuk -- I don't like to say this!!!) Internet Explorer. So please -- I need help urgently.
Thanks,
NOEL

Some how I solved my problem by opening a user account and downloading Firefox 4.0 beta and installing it, I did try it, worked fine, so I did close the user account and did go back to my own account(switched user), the main page that I had problem with Firefox which would not open, I dabble click on Firefox it start working again!! I hope that solves your problem too.

HT1719 my ipod shuffle 4th generation will not charge or connect to the computer, I updated iTunes and I got a new charger.

My iPod Shuffle will not charge or connect to the computer. I updated iTunes and bought a new charger. Any ideas? Thanks

My question was, when you connect the shuffle to USB, does the light come ON? From the way you answered, I'm not sure if you are answering that question, or saying that the light does not come ON when you move the power switch on the shuffle to the ON position.
Also, what happens when you connect the shuffle to your computer by itself, with nothing else connected to USB?
If you get no response (no light) from the shuffle when you connect it to USB by itself, trying both the original USB cable and a new one that is compatible with the 4th gen shuffle, try connecting something else to the USB port to confirm it is working properly. It would be best to test the USB port with something similar, such as a USB flash drive or external drive. If you can confirm the USB port works properly, it is likely that the cause for this problem is on the shuffle, such as a faulty headphones jack or bad logic board.
If the shuffle is less than one year from purchase date, it is under warranty.

Firefox will not start after I downloaded the newest version

Firefox used to work on my computer but will not start now that I have downloaded the newest version.

See [[Firefox will not start]]

Firefox will not remember passwords even tho the box is checked and there are no exceptions listed. The little bar asking to save passwords doesn't even come up.

After an online session, Firefox (6.0.1) crashed and a crash report was sent. After that, Firefox would not start and the crash window kept coming up. I uninstalled it and did a new install. It works fine now except it will not remember passwords even tho the box to save is checked and there are no exceptions listed. The bar asking to save does not come up.

Make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) [[Private Browsing]] mode.
* You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
* To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting Firefox will: Use custom settings for history
* Uncheck: [ ] "Permanent Private Browsing mode"
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

Since three days ago, Firefox will not start. None of the remedies on your site seem to work.

Internet explorer seems to work fine. When I click on the Firefox icon, the curser indicates that Firefox is trying to open but nothing else happens. When I go to task manager, it will list every time that I tried Firefox as an open session but there is still nothing else indicating that I have successfully opened a Firefox session. I have tried to uninstall and re-download several different versions of Firefox with the same results. It will still not start. When I go to the Programs folder and choose the .exe file under firefox, I still get nothing. I have run my antivirus program, done a disk cleanup and run the disk defragmenter and still get nothing when I try to start Firefox.

'''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.

Firefox will not start, so i read the FAQS and tried the suggestions and it still won't start and instead gives me an error message that says "unable to connect."

Firefox simply doesn't open. It's our favorite browser, so we want it back!
We get the message: "Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at www.yahoo.com.
The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web."
we tried un/re-installing. i tried to create a new profile, but the browser wouldn't let me. i went into my firewall settings, but nothing looked unusual. i tried restarting in "safe mode" but the same thing happened.
it looks like i'm not connected to internet, but other browsers (the awful things) work just fine.

Firefox will not restore previous session in the same window?

Hello,
Every time I open Firefox and click the restore previous session button at the bottom nothing happens. That's the first part of the problem. Next, when I click on my history and click restore previous session, it does so but opens them all in a new window. It was only 3-4 days ago that this started happening. I would like to change what ever is causing this back to how it was as it is quite annoying when I have pinned tabs and I have to keep re-pinning them.
I am running the Developer version of Firefox.
Thank you.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
'''If Firefox is open,''' you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
* Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
'''If Firefox is not running,''' you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".
;[[Image:SafeMode-Fx35]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

Firefox will not load despite following all the advice on the support website

I loaded an update from Freemaker Video Converter and now I cannot open Firefox. I have tried reinstalling (copied my profile to the Desktop), unfortunately System Restore has an error, tried reloading an older version, ensured Firefox is approved in the Firewall, tried opening the Profile Manager and it gives the "I'm sorry" error message (sent feedback). I have attempted to edit the registry, but only deleted the obvious entries. When I click on Firefox Windows thinks about it (circle with the mouse) then nothing, doesn't start a process. I have gone through all the support documentation and have run out of options.
Any thoughts?

Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
Please report back to see if this helped you!
Thank you.

Firefox will not launch when I click the icon, it worked okay previously

A week ago firefox began taking a long time to launch sometimes requireing reclicking the icon.
Now it will not launch at all.
I get no error messages, nothing happens when I click the icon.
HELP

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

On my mac iBook computer it will not let me update to the latest version of iTunes and I can no longer sync my phone, which is on ios7, what do I do?

So I have a Mac iBook and it says I'm on the latest version of iTunes but when I plug in my iPhone it says that I need a newer version And I want to move music onto my phone, what do I do?

If you have an iBook G4, (PPC) you can't do much.
But if that is a MacBook (intel) you may be able to
upgrade the OS X, if the hardware is up to it...
Since there were about nine different build models
of MacBook (not powerpc iBook) to identify what
one you have would be the first step to knowing
what OS X and RAM upgrades it could use.
If the computer is not already at OS X 10.6.8,
it can't go online to get or use OS X 10.7.5. So,
when you more accurately describe the 'Book,
detailed information is available.
When you find the serial number, there is a web
page that can be used to identify by serial no.
http://www.powerbookmedic.com/identify-mac-serial.php
That'd be a first step. Or even the Model number
which should be visible on the outer case by hinge.
Good luck & happy computing!
