Firefox works at mcdonalds with windows but not with linux

I have Windows 7 Pro and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS on my laptop. I use firefox browser on both OS's. I am able to connect to internet when I use Windows OS and run firefox at McDonalds. But, when I try to use firefox and Ubuntu OS it will not connect while at McDonalds. Otherwise, the Ubuntu distro and firefox work fine everywhere else.

Thanks for the response. To narrow this down a bit more, the wireless makes the connection to their router, but, mozilla does not bring up the splash page that is needed to accept their connection. Again, it only happens when running firefox with Ubuntu; not when running firefox with Windows.

  • Javascript works on Safari for Windows but not on Safari for Mac (2.0.4)

    One part of our mail's web-based interface is not working properly when I use Safari on Mac (2.0.4). However, it works on Safari for Windows and Firefox. I browsed through a lot of the forum entrees with java/javascript on the subject and it seems that java processing is a common problem. I have checked all the necessary settings suggested on the forums but it still does not work.
    We tried using the new Safari on another machine and it works. However, I also see lots of forum entrees asking how to uninstall Safari 3!
    I also have a window on the open-source SugarCRM not working properly on Safari 2.0.4. Any fix coming?

    I noticed that as well. I have to wonder if it's due to not making note of the the different end of line characters between Mac OS X and Windows in code.

  • URL.openStream() works in Windows but not in Linux

    To me it would suggest a bug in the VM that you are using.
    Solutions
    1. Use a different VM
    2. Write your own code to process the http code. Depending on licensing for the VM in use and the VM itself. you might be
    able to find the bug in that code, fix it yourself, and then use your fix (start up command line options for VM.) Otherwise
    you have to duplicate the functionality. You might look to jakarta commons, there might be code there that does that.

    The following is mostly an educated guess, but it is based in some understanding of how the different OSs work.
    In linux sockets are handled by the driver(read: kernel part) that converts the actions on file descriptors to actions on network sockets. When a program shuts down, said driver continues to run, but receives a close request on the file descriptor, so it proceeds with a standard socket close.
    On windows, the sockets are the property of the program, not the network driver, and when the program shuts down the sockets simply abort as they are discarded. The network driver is not allowed to temporarily hold the socket until its operation completes. They are simply thrown away.
    Anyway, a proper solution that would be helpful for all OSs is to actually close the socket within the program, rather than hope the OS has a "garbage collector" for sockets. The same applies for all OS resources(files, pipes, GUI resources, etc). On certain OSs, certain resources may actually remain allocated after program shutdown, if not formally disposed.
    On a side note, socket libraries for windows usually support socket auto-close on disposing of the socket object. I'm surprised the Java library doesn't (seem to) follow the same pattern. Then again, I've seen programs(non-java, of course) cause system freezes over stuff like that.

  • My iPod Classic is seen by Windows but not by iTunes.  I have reset it, gone to disk mode and it won't show up in iTunes.  There appears to be music on it in a file called MUSICSAVE.  How can I get this to work with iTunes again?

    My iPod Classic is seen by Windows but not by iTunes.  I have reset it, gone to disk mode and it won't show up in iTunes.  There appears to be music on it in a file called MUSICSAVE.  How can I get this to work with iTunes again?

    1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
    2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
    3. Check the USB cable
    4 Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
    5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
    6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job
    7. Check for third-party software conflicts.

    my ipod classic is visible in windows but not in itunes, this happens on 2 different computers where my iphone and ipod touch work fine which leads me to think something is up with the ipod itself and i cant find any threads to help.
    any thoughts anyone??

    Perhaps the reason you haven't had any replies is because there is no such thing as an 8GB iPod Classic.
    I suggest that you begin by correctly identifying which iPod you have.

  • TS1363 "iPod: Appears in Windows but not in iTunes" Isn't working!

    I've tried all of the things in the "iPod: Appears in Windows but not in iTunes" but none of them work.
    I'm on Windows 8 and those are the instrucations I've followed.
    The only thing I haven't done is reset my computer to factory mode but that Isn't an option for me cause I got saved games that can't be backed up.
    I've literaly tried everything in that help page and it doesn't work.
    All I get is the iTouch charging, asking me to trust the computer, I say trust, nothing happens, I check the device manager and it doesn't shw the USB no matter what, I restart the ipod services and the apple software services, nothing happens, I completely take dwn my McAfee firewall and scanning system, it doesn't work, restarting it to make sure no viruses attack, uninstalled Razer Synapsis because it has been a pain in the butt before, that doesn't work, I emptied my Temp file and that didn't work, And in the end the iTouch is charging but not even being see by Itunes and no updates, restarts, reinstallations, uninstallations, checking, researching, and anything else I can do works.
    Can someone please explain why apple tech is such a pain when it comes to Windows 8 and how I can fix this without losing 2 years worth of school and saved games?!?!?!?

    Try a full teardown as in Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates?
    A recent poster to forum is suggesting uninstalling WMP from Windows?
    Connect the device to a different compuer and back it up there. You should be able to copy off the library to a portable hard drive. See also Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • Image.source in ItemRenderer works in Windows but not Mac

    I have a Flex (AIR) application that is giving me problems on
    the Mac. In one of the
    Datagrids, I am using an ItemRenderer with an image control.
    Some code in the
    "set data(value:Object)" function assigns a file path as the
    source of the image
    control as follows.
    imgThumb.source =
    File.documentsDirectory.resolvePath("pdqtemp").nativePath +
    "/" + data.strJPGFileName;
    This works correctly in Windows , but not on the Mac.
    In this case, the path resolves to the following on the Mac.
    /Users/brian/Documents/pdqtemp/artist_01t.jpg
    I have verified that the file is in the right place and when
    using the path in
    the command line console, it correctly addresses that
    directory and file. I
    don't normally develop apps for the Mac so I am sure there is
    something I am
    missing.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi Jed,
    Thanks for responding
    That is the exact path assigned to the Source of the Image
    control. However, it isn't exactly a trace of the Image.Source
    property.
    The code in question is attached
    The alert shows the path I originally posted and shows that
    the fileImgThumb.exists returns False.
    As I mentioned, this works perfectly in Windows. There is
    some code elsewhere in the app that creates the thumbnail. That
    does work on the Mac as the thumbnail image is created and saved
    where expected.
    I am not sure what I might be doing wrong.
    Thanks for your help,
    Sid

  • Can manually subscribe with Windows but not with Mac

    For some reason I am able to manually subscribe to the below feed just fine with iTunes on my PC (Windows XP) but I get an error when trying with my iMac (OS X 10.5.8):
    *http://feeds.feedburner.com/Metalspeak*
    The error I'm getting with my iMac references "An unknown error occured (400)"
    I was troubleshooting a different feed and am getting similar results: it works fine with the PC, but not with the iMac:
    *http://feeds.feedburner.com/MetalsPeakPodcast*
    The error I'm getting on this feed however states "The file might be corrupted, or a file type that iTunes cannot play"
    Can anyone think of why these feeds work with Windows but not with Mac? Any advice is appreciated!

    The problem lies with the URLs for your media files. The one for the top episode is
    http://www.metalspeak.com/episodes/MetalsPeak 10 - GenresPeak.mp3
    This URL contains spaces, which are not allowed in a URL. Browsers - and from what you say iTunes in Windows - handles this by substituting the code %20 for each space when requesting the file; iTunes for Mac does not.
    You need either to change the filename for each media file, removing the spaces or substituting something such as an underscore, and then amending the feed accordingly: or at the least to amend the feed by replacing each space with %20.
    It's the same problem in the other feed.
