For about the past week, Facebook has been taking forever to load (or just not) on my mac (OSX 10.5.8; Safari 5.0.6). Other sites are fine. I routinely empty the cache, clear history, cookies, etc. each time I shut down. Suggestions?

I don't use Facebook, but I can say that clearing the cache every time you shut down is excessive - unless you're sure the cache is corrupt you should leave it alone. It exists to speed up your browsing experience by loading frequently requested items from your drive rather than downloading them fresh from the internet each time. So, I would say stop clearing your cache and see what happens.
As for clearing cookies: I'm not sure what method you currently use, but I would recommend you download and install CCleaner. It's free, and allows you to build up a list of cookies that you want to clear and those you want to keep, before deleting them.
Both of these may help speed things up by reducing the amount of work Safari has to perform whilst browsing. Regardless, I'd say that, unless there's a reason you've not mentioned for performing the "purging" that you do, making these two changes should see improvements in general web browsing if not specifically when loading Facebook.

You can retrieve the certificate and check who issued the certificate.
* Click the link at the bottom of the error page: "I Understand the Risks"
Let Firefox retrieve the certificate: "Add Exception" -> "Get Certificate".
* Click the "View..." button to inspect the certificate and check who is the issuer.

Safari has stopped opening certain webpages and says can't connect to server... This started 3 months ago with FB and now randomly with another site... all other sites are fine.. Help?

Safari has stopped opening certain webpages and says can't connect to server... This started 3 months ago with FB and now randomly with another site... all other sites are fine.. Help?
I've tried resetting safari, deleting all webpage data and setting time/date to automatic, but no such luck.
The message that comes up is: "Safari can't establish a secure connection to the server 'Facebook' "
I'd be genuinely impressed if anyone were to actually work out what was wrong.

Hi ..
Might be a cookies, cache, or extensions issue.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click: Remove All Website Data
Then delete the cache.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that doesn't help, troubleshoot Safari extensions.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

I have to reinstall hp 802.11 abg wireless lan each time i shut down,

each time i shut down my touchsmart iq790uk, on restarting i have to reinstall the lan driver, after which it works ok, is there a cure?

No. I, myself, made the mistake of assuming Discoverable meant the mouse, or whatever Bluetooth device you have paired, is discoverable and, therefore, needed so the computer can find it. That's not what it means. It means the computer is discoverable by other devices. And, other devices would include someone else nearby attempting to hack in by way of Bluetooth. I suppose if you live on a farm in Utah with the nearest neighbor fifty miles away, it's a moot point.
I just realized what discoverable means because someone's SMART Phone in a nearby apartment yesterday was attempting to pair with my computer, I think quite by accident. I got a message to that effect and denied. It may also have meant that they left their phone, unwittingly, on Discoverable. In any case, Discoverable should be disabled
On further research, I found that it's also advisable in Bluetooth Prefernces> Advanced to leave "Blutooth-PDA-Sync Modem" in "Serial ports that devices use to connect to this computer" unchecked (the default is checked, so uncheck it) and "Share my Internet connection with other Bluetooth devices" unchecked, as well.
"Open BT Setup Assistant at startup".... "Allow BT device to wake" and "Prompt for all incoming audio requests" should all be checked.
If your mouse is paired and made a Favorite, you should not drop the connection. Mine is now set up as above and I'm not having any issues staying connected.
Perhaps leaving "Open Bluetooth Setup Assistant...." checked, the default, presents a security risk. For the time being, I'm leaving it checked.

Why won't Firefox suddenly won't display SoundSlides files -- new and ones displayed in the past? I've cleared history, cookies, etc. Also deleted and reinstall

Firefox will no longer display our university news website news.wsu.edu correctly, AND it will no longer display SoundSlides files that we have posted. See our front page at news.wsu.edu as well as SoundSlides example at http://news.wsu.edu/pages/publications.asp?Action=Detail&PublicationID=32021&TypeID=1

'''It appears it works for me. Possibly you have a problem because of Flash Player 11.3 use.

Recent crashes of certain multimedia contents (this includes Youtube videos, certain flash games and other applications) in conjunction with Firefox 13 are most probably caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and/or a malfunctioning Real Player browser plugin.

Clearing history (cookies, etc..) locks up firefox 4 and 5 in Win 7 64 bit

I have 4 completely different PCs running Windows 7 64 bit. Every time I manually clear the history/cookies/etc.. firefox locks up and crashes. This has been happening since firefox 4 and still exists in firefox 5. Also, closing firefox (4 or 5) doesnt always kill the process. So later (even hours later) when I try to open up firefox, I get a message that an instance is already running. Its not killing the process. I have to kill it manually.

You could copy CD/DVD of BC 4 to Windows C:. I keep various BC versions in a C:\MacSaves folder.
You could then delete the Drivers\ATI folder and try Setup.exe without it.
If that fails, you'll see Bootcamp(64).msi in the Apple Folder. You could try to run this by itself.

Google and Facebook show 'This connection is untrusted'; other sites are fine. What's wrong?

Hi there,
Yesterday I could log into sites like Facebook, Google and others fine, and now when I try to log in to them it comes up with the following message:
'This connection is untrusted.
www.facebook.com uses an invalid security certificate.
The certificate is not trusted because no issuer chain was provided. (Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer)'
I managed to get onto other sites like BBC News and Outlook without any error messages. Strangely, Google Images comes up fine from a bookmarked link, but then goes to untrusted as soon as you search for anything. I've seen this message come up on the support site before, and have tried the following suggestions:
-Cleared the cache
-Cleared cookies (including individual page cookies)
-Deleted internet temp files
-Cleared Downloads folder in Firefox
-Opened Firefox in Safe Mode to rule out add-on problems
-Chosen 'No proxy server' in the Network options
-Reloaded the page using Ctrl-Shift-R
-Reloaded the page from a History tab when it was working (yesterday)
-Used the bookmarked link
-Typed the link in directly
-Reset Firefox
-Deleted the 'cert8' file in the Firefox folder
-Synchronised system time and date with time.windows
-Full antivirus scan on computer (which showed nothing)
-Checked web security settings in Bullguard (no interference there)
-Uninstalled/reinstalled Firefox
I managed to get Google working eventually, then the Mozilla Support pages said they were untrusted, so I'm currently posting from Chrome, which is becoming my backup browser more frequently :(

Any idea what else I can try? Facebook I'm not too worried about, but I need Google for work and pretty much everything else!
EDIT: I gave up, went and had a pint of tea and when I came back everything seemed to be alright again! Not sure what the hell happened. Does anyone else have any idea why this comes up, or is it just something that happens now and again?

this is similar to your question.just go-through it or if you stuck then reply back for more info on this problem : https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/974711

I have ordered the latest Mac Pro since launch in December, and it has been taking forever to arrive!

Have you guys been having the same problem or is it just my order taking forever? Til date I have yet received my order....

I too ordered a customized Mac Pro in December (19th). Just last week Apple finally dinged my debit card, as arranged. I got all excited but this last Tuesday the money was put back in my account and it's gone back to "Processing Order". I guess my order wasn't as ready to ship as they thought.

Only the first page for a particular site prints. All other sites are fine.

I'm running Firefox 10.0.2 on Windows 7 SP1 and when I try to print the web page of the affected URL ( http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Connect-to-another-computer-using-Remote-Desktop-Connection ), only the first page is printed. It prints fine in IE 9. I tried printing in safe mode and it still only prints the first page. I only tried printing it once, after that I used print preview alone. I used print preview on a dozen other sites and it works fine. By the way, on the web page I'm trying to print you must "Show All" at the bottom to expand all of the text. It's just this one web page. Can someone else with a similar setup try print preview on this page for me? I just want to know. I printed it using IE. Interestingly, if you scale the print preview down enough, all of the text shows up. Thanks...

Well, I've made a little progress. I saved the web page source locally and then added the following HTML snippet to the <head> section:
<style type="text/css">
div
page-break-before:always;
</style>
When I display this, the "Show all" does not work, but the page text is still long enough to do "Print Preview" and expect more than one page. The result is a blank first page (expected) and then ALL of the page text is printed on the next two pages.
But I think you are correct "the-edmeister" in saying that Firefox may have a problem when the DIV tag spans more than one page. The reason is that the third page only contains the footer, so I can't say for sure if the whole DIV block was printed. But at least the footer did show up this time.
If I can get the "Show all" block to expand then maybe that question will be answered. Any thoughts?

Running Firefox 4.1 on Windows XP Pro. The issue I'm having is that each time I shut down Firefox, I get an "Quicktime failed to initialize - Error #0", often multiple times. I have upgraded recently and my daughter loaded itunes (since removed).

This happens at least twice each time I close Firefox. I have done web searches and seen this issue posted, but found no solution.

Pages is saying it has been downloaded and installed but it is not on my Mac Book

I have just downloaded Maverick and Pages, keynote and numbers are all saying that a new version has been downloaded and installed but they have changed the software I had already been installed, I know this because my ipad3 has had the new upgrades and the icons have changed.
Can anybody help me please?

No, the download doesn't change the older Pages 09. The icons on the older pages documents on the Mac changes but not the Pages 09 application. You still have the application in the Application folder.
What you see on the iPad I can only guess. I don't have an iPad.

Since I upgraded, I can not open my email files. I've unblocked pop-ups, cleared history/cookies, etc. What's next

I installed Firefox 4. Now when I go to look at my emails I cannot open them. I've called my provider and they can, so it has to be something with this computer. I've checked all the settings I can think of- unblocked the pop-ups, cleared anything I can think of.

OK there is a solution to opening the .asp files in Dreamweaver whith a double click. The clue was here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/6091711#6091711 for PC users.
HERE IS THE MAC EQUIVALENT: in the Finder, RIGHT CLICK any .asp file. select "Get Info" Select "Adobe Dreamweaver CC" it may not show up at first, you will have the option to locate it in the Applications folder.
DON'T FORGET to click the button below: "Change All" forcing ALL .asp files to open within Dreamweaver. *note: I tried everything else listed, including installing the "ASPNet_Support.zxp" extension found in "DisabledFeatures" in the "Configuration" folder, which did cause the icons inside of Dreamweaver to actually appear as DW docs. However try the finder option first it may be the quick fix.

HT2478 how do you make the setting to change desktop background every time you shut down your mac

how to make setting to change desktop background every time you close your mac
because i want to make it if anybody tries to change my dekstop picture i want it to go backto set desktop picture

Don't let other people access your Mac in admin mode - they might change something a lot more important than the Desktop picture.
However you can use Automator: create an Application in it, and select 'Set the Desktop Picture' from the Library. Choose the picture you want. Save the application, then go to System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items and select the Automator application you just created. This will then run at startup and set your chosen picture.

Cache clear history

how and where can i see the cache clear history time.
lets say,if i have cleared total cache 3 times today and 4 times yesterday,where can i see the todays 3 times time and yesterdays 4 times time.
Thanks in advance

This information is captured in NQQuery.log file @ OracleBI\server\Log
You will find the lines like:
====
Administrator:fffe0000:fffe0001:----2011/09/22 12:26:17
-------------------- Cache Purge of query:
SET VARIABLE QUERY_SRC_CD='Report';SELECT TIME_DIM."YEAR" saw_0...
=======
This will give the timestamp for individual SQLs BUT all the cache purged together will have same timestamp..
Hope its clear...Give a try and do some unit testing ..

For about the past week, Facebook has been taking forever to load (or just not) on my mac (OSX 10.5.8; Safari 5.0.6). Other sites are fine. I routinely empty the cache, clear history, cookies, etc. each time I shut down. Suggestions?
