Firefox worked fine yesterday, but today it wont load. I tried unstalling and downloaded a new version. Got message the extended attributes are inconsistant.

ATried to open Firefox browser to read mail but it wouldnt open. An error message indicated something about version 12 and version 11 issues so I uninstalled Firefox and used Explorer to download a fresh copy. Wouldnt install.
Keep getting a box that says " The extended attritbutes are inconsistent"

Thank you for the reply. I forgot to mention that I did run scans for viruses and malware and came up clean.
I ran the System File Checker and it told me there are corrupt files that could not be repaired. I dont understand all the info that I read on the CBS.log, but from what I gather from the link you provided I'll be doing a reformat today. :(
What puzzles me is the fact that all was well when I shut down my computer but by morning there were corrupt files????? Strange no virus, no malware so what on earth happened? The million dollar question.:)
Sincerely appreciate your assistance.

TS1717 My iTunes worked fine yesterday but today I can't get it to open. What could be causing this?

I don't understand why my iTunes worked perfectly yesterday but today I can't get it to open at all. I did the autoruns.zip and that didn't help at all. I also redownloaded the iTunes but that didn't help either. Can you help me? Thank you, Lynne Heimann

Alas, I have tried that. I have also done this complicated uninstall and reinstall process. I have figured out in my battles with iTunes today that it will open when I am not connected to the Internet but as soon I turn on the wifi and go the iTunes store, iTunes crashes again.

My iPhone 4s was working fine yesterday but today, the volume has stopped working entirely. A song will play for approximately 9 seconds and then will cut the sound completely. It has done this on YouTube, Music, and my ringer. How do I fix it?

My phone played music fine yesterday. Today, headphones plugged in or not, my music (including YouTube and ringer) stops working. The timer still counts up as though it is still working but the volume turns gray or not at all and the little circle volume control disappears. How can I get my music working again?

Firefox was working fine yesterday, but today it simply opens as a blank window. How can I fix this?

When I open Firefox, it appears as a blank, black window with nothing to click on. Everything was working normally last night. Problem only appeared this morning. I tried System Restore, but it failed to complete successfully.
I'm running Windows 7 on an MSI notebook. It's about three years old.

Here's a screenshot of what I'm experiencing.

HT1476 myi phone 5 wont charge or turn on, it was working fine yesterday but today it just wont charge and has a black screen. what should i do?

my i phone 5 wont turn on or charge?

First thing to try, press and hold both the home and lock buttons until you see the apple logo on the screen, about 10 seconds.

After adding plug-ins to block ads, my firefox no longer opens--it hangs/freeze--i have tried to restart, even deleted firefox and downloaded a new version--to no avail! please advise--

Last night I aded a few plug-ins to block ads including Google's--after restarting my computer (Mac OS X 10.6.8), my firefox no longer opened, i.e. it hangs/freeze when I open it--I have tried to restart, open in safe mode, even deleted firefox altogether and downloaded a new version, to no avail! Please advise! I have been trying to revive Firefox for hours today--

Hey rumon,
Have you tried starting Firefox in Safe Mode? Hold down "option" while Firefox is starting up. If the crash doesn't happen in Safe Mode, you should read [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]].
There is also a lot of useful stuff in the [[Firefox crashes]] Knowledge Base article. If you've recently upgraded, you might want to check out [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/latest-firefox-issues#w_firefox-crashes-when-i-start-it this article] as well.
Hopefully this helps!

My IPAD won't accept my wi-fi password. I have tried resetting all settings and network settings but still won't accept it. Can't download to new version of IOS either, says software update server could not be contacted.

Yes I have put in the correct password, its all numbers so can't get it wrong really.
It has connected before as has my iPod and that won't connect either. I have checked that they aren't on the blocked list of the wi fi. Managed to download the new version of iOS and that hasn't made a difference.
I have the wi fi plugged directly into the computer rather than the booster hub as the computer won't connect to it when its in the hub. I did get the iPad to connect to the internet when it twas in the hub but once I upgraded the iOS it won't accept the wifi password in the hub either.

My mac book air was fine yesterday but today it has a black screen and wont wake up

My mac book air was working fine yesterday, I left it turned on. When I went to use it today it has a black screen. I have tried many keys but no response.
Help!

Try pressing the power button.

My iPhone 4 worked fine yesterday an today the sound won't come out of the speakers from music and videos but worked on earphones and without earphones all I can hear is when Someone's calling me

Idk what I did

I got it out!
Here is how.
None of the Apple-suggested ways worked. However, before totally giving up I started Roxio Popcorn and pressed the big eject button on it. It came out effortlessly!
So, I thought "Weird..."
I put the CD back in and reproduced my original problem. I got it out just as easily using Roxio Popcorn Eject feature.
So, I then thought "Maybe it is the disk?" There is nothing wrong with the disk as far as I can tell. It is perfectly round, has a smooth label-side surface. It is not even a label, it is a standard software install disk you buy in stores.
I inserted a different disk. The mini mounted it, I browsed it, and then ejected it by dragging it to trash. Worked fine.
I tried a few other disks.
The drive seems to work fine.
Maybe that CD is cursed, I dunno. I tried that disk in my PowerBook and it works fine there.
Who knows ?
I am still backing up my hard drive as I type this message in case I need to take it to the store.

Imovie - will record and worked fine yesterday but now.....

Ok I have problems with the fliker on my macbook. So I had to reload the hwole system. Now the display screen in imovie doesnt work, or the audio and i am working on a project that worked absolutley fine yesterday. I can record with the isight on my macbook, I cant watch or hear it, its just a white screen. Thats it, i can see my recorded files, butu they wont play back nothing. Its worrying!
Please help me.

Yep all the updates and restarted it. It has actually taken 3- 4 hours hours to get back on to macbook! VERY annoying. Its took that long to load!!!!! seriously!!! I had to put on the OS again! all the updates are on again except I cant use my tunes music now in imovie which stinks i have to re-authorise the account and its still doesnt work. In fact i have apprently got it authorised on 4 other computers!! How? its should only be 2!?!
imovie is kinda working now, but nothing else is typical. Its sod law lol
I think its no good. I had to start up the OS orginally because of a darn screen flicker which is still there. I think the logic board is gone. I was onto apple yesterday for an hour and they were very helpful, but its just no good. I am waiting for my new back up hard-drive backing up everything! Then send it off for repairs. I feel I am oing to lose eveything if I switch this off again. And to add to problems itunes is acting up... great!

Everytime I click "Update Firefox," it starts to download said update, but never does anything else. I have also tried completely re-downloading a newer version of Firefox, but that doesn't work either.

I have no more details.

If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
* Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded

Cannot open talktalk webmail inbox since updating to firefox 4. I tried uninstalling and downloading an earlier version but the problem is now permanent!

when opening my webmail page on talktalk it tells me I have undifined mail and will not open it! In internet explorer I can access it with no problems but as I prefer firefox I am now stuck!

See the work around linked below, posted by NT, it worked for me.

Can i uninstall firefox and download a newer version to change any addons i did wrong?

what is the best way to delete multiple bookmarks?

Click here, buy and install the DVD, and then run Software Update twice. If you're actually using Mac OS X Server, you'll need to phone the online Apple Store instead of using the link I posted.

Some websites keep asking to enable cookies in my browser when they are and I can't get this sites to see that, they worked fine yesterday but not now. I've restarted the browser, restarted the computer, disabled then enabled cookies in the privacy settings and still nothing. Any help?

Hi,
Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
To clear cache and cookies do the following:
#Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
#Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
#Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
#From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
#Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.

Firefox crashes upon opening, despite having tried all help suggestions and re-installing new version.

I have a MAC: 2006, but intel Core Duo; version 10.4.11
I have had some difficulties with my Firefox recently: crashing occasionally, not always loading a page on the first try, saved e-mails or passwords working off and on. I trashed my current version of Firefox (I was told by my tech guys to uninstall it and download a new version, but I couldn't find an uninstall package for mozilla, so I dragged it to the Trash) and I uninstalled flip4MAC, too. I tried to download version 4, but my system could not run it, so I downloaded 3. 16. 12 - it worked really great for a while, but then started to revert to its old problems and my tech guys said I might not have done a complete uninstall- I am a bit of a techno-peasant, so I may have not done it properly. In the meantime, I upgraded my Internet service with Bell and was going to download Snow Leopard- I have Tiger- to see if that helped, but after the upgrade, Mozilla won't even open at all; the window comes up with a tab that says "restore session" and it freezes immediately and then closes with a crash report and an icon in the apps bar called "Crash Reporter." I have copied the incident report and am including it with this email. Bell tech support says it is not their issue, it's mine, which I think is probably correct, but why did it completely crash after the upgrade?
I did go on Mozilla Firefox's website for support through Safari, and tried all the suggestions, but Safari's Mozilla Firefox only displays the search bar and not the address bar, so I used the tip to got ''library/,'' etc to get the crash i.d. I was able to get the i.d., but when I typed in the url with my crash id, I got an error message: File not Found. I tried it more than once, so I copied it from one of the reports sent to you guys and I only hope that you are able to use the crash info I submitted below (after Trouble shooting info).

We're sorry to hear that your Firefox seems to be crashing when you open it. Please perform the following steps to give us a crash report ID that helps us find out more about the cause of the crash.
#Press the following shortcut to get a Run window: [Windows] + [R]. This should bring up a window that contains a text field.
#In that text field, enter %APPDATA% and press Enter. An explorer window should open.
#From that explorer window, double-click on the ''Mozilla'' folder, then double-click on ''Firefox'' and then on ''Crash reports''. Double-click on ''submitted''.
#Now, you should see a list of files that contain reports. Go to ''View'' > ''Arrange Icons by'' > ''Modified'' to get the most recent files at the top of the window.
#Open the most recent 5 files with a text editor and copy the IDs.
#Paste each ID into the reply window on the forums.
Thanks in advance!
