Firefox wont close down all the way

some reason when i go to close down firefox then try to bring in back an hour later keep getting the message "Firefox is already running but is not responding" and keep wondering why this is happening tryed puting the profile to read only it helped for a week then it started back up aside from that not sure why its happening usin firefox 30.0

This was an issue with v29 that v30 was suppost to fix.
From what I have been reading from other posts on this forum, the
issue may be caused by the clear history settings.
Press the '''<Alt>''' or '''<F10>''' key to bring up the tool bar.
Followed by;
Windows; '''Tools > Options'''
Linux; '''Edit > Preferences'''
Mac; ''application name'' '''> Preferences'''
Then '''Privacy'''.
The button next to '''History''', select '''Use Custom Settings'''.
At the bottom of the page, turn on '''Clear History When Firefox Closes.'''
At the far right, press the '''Settings''' button. Turn on ONLY '''Cache''' and
'''Form And Search History''' leaving the others off.
This is not a cure but will make it easier if Firefox locks up.

Itunes library will not close down all the way

My iTunes library will not close down all the way. When I close the library I am unable to log back in or turn my computer off because itunes is still running although I x'd it out.

You're right, you shouldn't have to do that.
Well, you didn't say whether you've tried uninstalling & reinstalling itunes. Make sure it's installed with an admin user account. Then go into the WIndows Event Viewer and see if there are any error messages about any of the itunes processes in the installation package. That could give us a clue of what's going wrong.
Another thing that could be causing the problem is the "apple push" part of itunes, APSDaemon.exe. Read wiclee's post here about it.

Firefox won't close down all the way after watching a video. I exit out, and the sound continues. When I try to re-open firefox, I get a message about how I have to restart my computer. How do I fix this?

Basically whenever I watch a video and I exit out of the video I have to restart my computer to get Firefox back open. If I exit out or go to a new page while the video is playing, the audio continues like nothing has happened. I've checked my task manager and it shows that Firefox is closed. When I try to re-open Firefox I get an error message that tells me Firefox is running but is unresponsive and I have to restart my computer. How do I get it to stop doing this?

Try holding control, alt and delete down in succession and then a dialogue box will appear with windows task manager. Once open click on the Processes Tab and look for firefox.exe. Highlight this and then click end process. It should come up with a warning but just click Yes. This should then close firefox and allow you to reopen it from your desktop without shutting down your computer. Hope this helps.

Is it better for your battery if you let it run down all the way and then charge it? Or to charge it whenever you have the opportunity? Which is better for the life of the battery?

I was wondering it the life of the battery would last longer if you let the battery run down all the way and then charge it? Or to charge it whenever you have the opportunity even if it doesn't have a low battery? Which is better for the life of the battery and prolong the life of the battery?

I've had a iPhone 4s since March 2012, and it's battery is pretty useless now. I was using the app Battery Doctor (Battery Saver, Battery Life) by Beijing Kingsoft Internet Security software, which encourages the user to charge more often, whenever battery life drops below 100% full and greater than 20% full, and gives ratings according to the number of full, partial & overcharges done, but I'm concerned that charging like that actually results in worse battery life??
I now have an new iPhone 5 and don't want the battery to only last as short as the last one did
Any advice/comments please

Hi, Just bought an ipod classic 160gb and i notice that when I turn the volume down all the way, music is still heard, i.e. I cannot turn it down lower than a certain volume. Is there a fix for this? Thanks

I've got a feeling that's the way it is. I know that if I turn the volume down all the way, I can still hear the music very softly -- which is great for listening when I have a migraine!

Should I take my iPhone 4 to the apple store to get my vibrate button? Because it doesn't go down all the way

My iPhone 4 vibrate button doesn't go down all the way, could I get that fixed?

If it is defective and still under warranty then they wil replace the iphone for free.
If it is not under warranty then you can buy an out of warranty replacement. In the U.S that would cost $149

Keep iPhone on wall charger for ten minutes, it may turn ON itself. If still nothing, keep on charger and Reset, hold both home and power buttons for about 20 seconds until the iPhone begins to respond.

When i click on print menu in certain page, the pop page loaded then the print dialogue box appeared and immediately it close down all the pop up and print dialogue box without us to print it. What is the solution?

On that website (member only site), when i clicked on print menu on the site, it normally loaded the page and then the print dialogue box appear and immediately, it closed down all the pop up and print dialuge so that i cannot print it at all. It happened only after i upgrade Firefox to version 6.0.2, previous version it worked fine.

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. <br>
'''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
*Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
To Reset Firefox do the following:
'''For Firefox versions previous to 29.0:'''
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox"[[Image:Button reset]] 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.
'''For Firefox 29.0 and above:'''
#Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Troubleshooting Information''.Now, a new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
#At the top right corner of the page, you should see a button that says "Reset Firefox"[[Image:Button reset]]. Click on it.
#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.

Hi weaver15,
You should try changing your home page to:
about:home
I think this is probably the page you are looking for. If you don't know how to change the home page, you should take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[How to set the home page]].
Hopefully this helps

Can't get div to stretch down all the way

Hi!
I hit a brick wall trying to have two graphic elements always stay on the left and right edges of the browser window while stretching all the way down. The elements need to repeat-y so I put them inside two divs. I can get the elements to fill 100% of the browser window, but it always stops there (which means that when I have a lot of content in my main_content div, the side elements stop where the 100% of the browser window height was).
I have a page with a structure like this:
<body>
<div id="I_want_this_guy_to always_stay_on_the_left_edge_of_the_browser">
</div>
<div id="I_want_this_guy_to always_stay_on_the_right_edge_of_the_browser">
</div>
<div id="wrapper_here_goes_all_my_content">
<div id="main_content">
</div>
</div>
And I have CSS like this:
html {
     height: 100%;
body {
    background-image: url(images/bg.jpg);
    background-repeat: repeat;
    background-position: 600px
    margin: 0px;
    padding: 0px;
    height: 100%;
#wrapper_here_goes_all_my_content {
    width: 855px;
    margin-right: auto;
    margin-left: auto;
    height: 100%;
    position: relative;
    min-height:100%
#main_content {
    background-image: url(images/bg_red_paper.png);
    width: 805px;
    background-repeat: repeat-y;
    min-height: 800px;
    padding-top: 125px;
    padding-right: 25px;
    padding-bottom: 25px;
    padding-left: 25px;
#I_want_this_guy_to always_stay_on_the_left_edge_of_the_browser {
    background-image: url(images/big_sidefilm_left.gif);
    width: 198px;
    min-height: 100%;
    background-repeat: repeat;
    float: left;
#I_want_this_guy_to always_stay_on_the_right_edge_of_the_browser {
     background-image: url(images/big_sidefilm_left.gif);
     width: 198px;
     min-height: 100%;
     background-repeat: repeat;
     float: left;
But it doesnt work.. The two side elements will only strech 100% of the original browser window frame and not where the content on the main_content is pushing the window to stretch.
I also made a crappy picture of the problem, allthough I'm not sure if it helps to illustrate
Any help will be highly appreciated! Thanks!

I just did this today with my new site. It's a fixed-width 960 px 3 column layout. Each sidebar is 200 px with 10 px padding all around and both sidebars are the same color.
I'm not sure if there is an easier way, but I created a 960x20 px image in PS, filled it with the main content color, then created a separate 220 x 20 px image and filled it with the sidebar color. I used copy and paste to move the 220 px image into the main image, then positioned them at each end. I saved it as a gif, loaded it as the container background with repeat-y, and it seemed to work out ok. here's a link to the site: http://www.dirtbikes101.com
Hope this helps.

Since I installed Lion machine won't power down all the way

When I go to close down, I use the Apple icon or the power button, but neither will shut the machine down. I have to press and hold the power button until it turns off. It started doing this after I installed Lion.
Any help with this?

Don't use the power button. Use the Apple menu Shutdown. At this point boot while holding down the command-r keys which should boot you into the Lion restore disk. From there use Disk Utility to Repair Disk.

Imac g4 won't shut down all the way

Recently installed OS X Tiger. When I shut down the computer all the icons and the dock on the desktop go away, but the computer doesn't completely shut off. Any ideas? Anyone? Thanks!

Hello bad dad:
Welcome to Apple discussions.
I would run the hardware tester that came with your computer to see if it detects any problem.
I would also run repair disk from your software install DVD.
I would then (if the above do not "fix" anything) probably do an archive and install to eliminate software issues that may have occurred when you installed OS X:

MacBook wont boot up all the way!!

I recently updated my computer with Quiktime and itunes applications and it asked me to restart after updates were complete. It restarted but it gets stuck on the gray screen with the apple and the turning wheel and wont go any further. I read similar posts but the problem is i do not have any of my original software with me because i am living in Europe right now. I tried the shift and power and also the command and ctrl and power and nothing has worked. is there any way i can fix this without having to reinstall?

I don't have an answer since you don't have the install DVDs or apparently even a backup drive with you, but this is a good place to point out the need for preventative maintenance to anyone who is interested.
It is always somewhat risky to install new software. It is like surgery; it is usually safe but there can be complications caused by the fact that everyone's computer is setup differently and many people have corrupted files already on their computers that they are not even aware of. Then when the new installed update comes across something that is corrupted, bad things can happen.
I think many people don't use an external hard drive as a backup because they don't want to spend the money. In this case, do what I do, as a redundancy to an ext. backup drive, partition your computer's drive such that you can install a copy of OS X on each partition. Then you will always have a functional OS in case you get caught without your install DVDs or any other method of getting back on track.
The second OS (on a partition) is also great for trouble shooting all manner of issues that might come up from time to time. The only downside is that it will consume some space on your hard drive but then you should not be living so close to the edge anyway if you absolutely need that few extra GB of disk space.
Business and industry could not possibly survive if they did not use redundancies and fail-safes to cover the unexpected. Individuals should not think that they somehow can.
