Firefox will not pin to taskbar when installed to C drive, but will when installed to D. Why?

I used to have Firefox installed to the D drive, which used to be the C drive. New install of windows, and half a year later, was running firefox off of the D drive. I upgrade to Firefox 4, and I want to switch it to my C drive, which is a SSD. When I open firefox 4 from C (runs fine), and try to pin it, it says it pins it. I close it, and it says that the file has been deleted or moved and that no such file exists on the D drive location. I right click on the .exe file in the C drive and pin it there, and that works, but every time I open it, it opens new programs next to it on the task bar. Pin those and try to use them and it gives the same error. Why in the world would this happen?

I have exactly the same issue. After FF upgraded on its own to version 5, it won't open from start menu, taskbar, desktop icon, or even by pressing firefox.exe in program files directory. It does so by pressing a link at msn messenger, inside Outlook etc.
Disabling all addons, didn't help. Moreover, I can't start FF in safe mode or start profile manager (Start > Run> firefox.exe -ProfileManager).

My ipod touch 4th gen. will not allow me to adjust volume with my speaker, but will with headphones. How do i fix this?

My ipod touch 4th gen. will not allow me to adjust volume with my speaker, but will with headphones. How do i fix this?

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack or other hardware problem

We appreciate your feedback on this matter, gingerspice913. I've not come across this issue before. Do you know how long it has been since the issue began? Please try to reset the network settings to see if it helps http://vz.to/1swAJbD?

DVD Drive will not recognize any movie DVD disk in the drive - thus will not play any dvd movies.

HP G71 449WV dvd drive will not recognize any dvd disc that has a movie on it. Will not play movies, keeps saying to insert disc when there is a disc in there. It will recognize a dvd data disc or a blank dvd, it just will not recognize any dvd movies. I've tried the microsoft fix it, downloaded new codecs, using different dvd playback software but none of that works since the drive will not recognize there is even a dvd movie in the drive. Computer is out of warranty.

Hello crollinsphoto1, welcome to the HP Forums.
It appears that you're not able to play movie DVD's in the DVD player in your notebook. I will try to assist you with this.
I'd recommend starting with this document:
Resolving DVD and Blu-ray Movie Problems (Windows 7).
Also, are these purchased DVD's or burnt DVD's?
Do the movies play in other sources? (DVD player, other PC)
Let me know how this goes.
Thanks.

Safari Will Not Play Flash Games or Videos on my account but will on others

As of last night my MacMini will not play videos at mlb.com, YouTube.com or flash games at ClubPenguin.com. When I log out of my account on the same computer and log into my kids' accounts it will play all of the above mentioned sites quite well. The problem cannot be with the websites not being compliant with Safari since they are playing normally on my kids' account on the same computer using the latest version of Safari.
Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.4.10) iBook, iMac, iPod, iPod Mini, iPod Nano

Well most issues are either A. system wide, or B. User specific.
In this case the issue was user specific because it happend only in your user, not your kids accounts.
There are prefernce files (plists) for pretty much everything. When something goes wrong, a good place to start is to pull relevent plists from YOUR user library. home>library>preferences
If this issue was system wide and happening in all accounts, you would start pulling plists from the library under your hard drive. harddrive>library>preferences.
When the machine is restarted or logged off after pulling these, when you log back in the preferenece files are regenerated back to standard settings.
Yes you can trash those plists now with no problem.
excuse my spelling errors, im typing while on break for 5 min!
hope this helps

A draft will not 'stay' deleted,it doesn't reappear in drafts but does when I attempt to comopse a new gmail message//os 10.6.8

Cut, delete, commandX all delete a line of "s's" from a new compose message..HOWEVER the line of "s's" reappear when I open a fresh compose message (ie) doesn't delete the single line of s's from the discarded draft. I'm using gmail via a/my university "account."University IT help punted me to the www. Help appreciated. ted

Positive...a bit more. I haven't a clue re POP or IMAP re the university/gmail. With/in Eudora I could pull it up. (I still like Eudora but that's another subject.)
Yesterday I tried Firefox with the same results..didn't check my settings. In Safari/webmail/gmail I checked my settings and the "s's" line didn't show under signature (ie) nothing to delete/cut.
Then at your mention today of trying another browser, I did. When I was in Firefox/webmail/gmail I did deletes/cuts in/on the compose message with the s's (ie) they kept reappearing. Then I thought "go try the settings." I checked my gmail settings (while in Firefox.) And I found the s's line and deleted it + saved the changes. No more s's when I open compose. Bingo.
Thanks for the brain massage.

PDF will not save via Save Icon on Web Browser (All), but will save using Print option. How can I resolve this issue?

Good morning all!
I am trying to publish a fillable form to a website for users to fill out. The trouble is that I myself can fill out the form when I click the link, and save it using the disc icon. However when I have other users click it, they can fill out the form on the PDF in the internet browser, but cannot save it using the disc icon that pops up on the bottom right hand corner. I discovered that if I Save As Adobe PDF, it will save my information. When I try using the disc icon to save a physical copy, the information is completely missing from the field in the PDF, as if I never filled it out before.
Since other users of all walks are going to be using it, I can't exactly give explicit instructions on how to use the work around for this, since it's intuitive to click the disc icon. Can anyone offer help regarding this issue?
Some other pieces of information:
I am using the Save as Other -> Reader Extended PDF -> Enable More Tools (Includes form fill-in and save), yet users cannot save the information typed in on the web browser PDF form.
Thank you for your time and help.

Thanks for your reply.
We're using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro 11.0.10 (Latest update)
This looks to be the only PDF with the issue on fillable forms, but we have not yet posted any others with this issue.
From that link, you can fill out the form, but when you click the pop up Disc icon on the bottom right, it does not save your typed in information. This happens on Firefox, Chrome, and IE. However when you click the print icon and Print as PDF, it saves the information you typed in.
Thank you for your help.

Probably either never, or not for a very long time. Firefox for mobile requires an ARMv7 processor, your phone has a v6. While the development team is considering supporting ARMv6, it is in the beginning stages, and may not happen, or at least not for a long time.

Hi..I have just recently got an iPhone and I had installed some apps already but now when I try to install and download any apps it just sits there on "waiting" and will not download.. Im able to erase it but no apps will download now. What Do I do?

Hi..I have just recently got an iPhone and I had installed some apps already but now when I try to install and download any apps it just sits there on "waiting" and will not download.. Im able to erase it but no apps will download now. I have tried logging out of the app store but it still did the same thing. I also tried resetting it and that didn't work either. I've tried everything I can think of but still just sits there saying "waiting." what do I do?

- Maybe here:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Unknown error containing '0xE' when connecting
- Try redownloading the app directly to the iPod by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Lately, Firefox often won't open the links when I click on them but will only open them when I ask it to open them in a new window or tab.

Often when I open Firefox, in the middle of a session it'll stop responding to my clicking on a link to open it in the same window. It'll show the url in the bottom when I hover over it but will do nothing when I click on it. It will only work when I either right click on it (then select open in new window/tab) or command click on it (opens in new tab automatically). I've noticed that it happens a lot when clicking on a link for a Google search result, but I know that it's not exclusively there, and it probably just sticks out more in my mind.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Firefox does not work on my new motorola razr i (XT890). Will my phone be supported soon?

Firefox does not work on my new phone, motorola razr i (XT980). When finishing the download from googlePlayStore it says, that the package is invalid. (I use the german interface, so I don't know the exact translation being used). I suppose this is because of its Intel processor. Will it be supported soon?

Yes, I have this very problem on my newly bought device too.

I am in mavericks disk utility recovery mode as my mac book will not boot up & stays only on the grey apple screen. When I verify the disk I get open error5 :input /output error on Syst stuck on 1 minute pouring out over 50 error messages & still counting

I am in Mavericks disk utility recovery mode as my mac book pro will not boot up & stays on the Apple grey screen . When I verify disk permissions I get
Open error 5:"input/ output error" on syst with over 50 of this messages & still counting . Disk Utility says 1 minute
But this has been going on for over 10 mins .
I can not verify disk or repair disk .
I have tried to reinstall mavericks operating system but it says my hard drive is locked which is very strange .
Does anyone know what is going on here ?
My system looks like it has been totally corrupted . Thanks Andrew

Could be. The "lock" isn't actually looking for a password.
WARNING: This will completely erase the ENTIRE hard drive.
What you would need to do is boot to recovery > disk utility > select the MAIN drive on the left side > partition > change partition layout from CURRENT to 1 PARTITION > ensure on the right side it says Format : Mac OSX Extended (Journaled) then push APPLY.
Then if it will allow us, close the windows until you see the 4 options popup again and select "Reinstall Mac OS X" select the Mac HD and you should be good to go!
