General failure -the browser fails to perform especially after computer has been left switched on for a while.

After the computer has been switched on for a while and I try to access the internet - it fails to do so and the message I get is : -General Failure - followed up by the specific address/site which it cannot open. This is happening with increasing frequency especially when I try to open email links etc. I then switch off the computer and after a few minutes or even half and hour, i reboot and it then becomes possible to open whatever was not possible before. This is quite irritating however.

Thank you for the suggestion and having tried it with other browsers, I can now confirm that it only happens with FF. I like FF a lot and hate to bother with other browsers but it I have to, I will most reluctantly abandon it.
By the way, having downloaded 36 of your recommended ADD-ONS, I had to get rid of them(uninstall). They not only cluttered up the start-up page but noticeably slowed down the computer. ( I left about half a dozen). Moreover, what is the point of them unless there is an icon or a button that I can click on for instant access to an ADD_ON. Instead I had to search hard to access the ones that I wanted and even then was unable to engage them. For example, I download clocks and a currency converter but was unable to use them.

My computer struggles to log in. I have to shut it down each time the computer has been shut and asleep for a few hours. The first day it happened my desktop photo was reset.

Have you tried a PRAM reset?

When my MAC has been in sleep mode for a while and you try and get it started again the mouse makes a splotchy movement across the screen and i have to reboot

When my MAC has been asleep for awhile and I move the mouse it makes this digitized blob run across the screen and erases all below it. The only way I have found to get it to quit is restart the computer. Does anyone know what is making it do this?

okay, you know this is for the Mac pro (desktop mac) rather than the MacBook pro, right? That being said, sounds like you have a problem. Turn off your screensaver, if it's on. if it's a hardware problem, eg the GPU, then take it in. If it's software, try running disk Utility and repair permissions. Failing that, get out your original install dvd's, boot up from them, and try "Archive and Install"

One song on my iPhone only plays the background music on the build-in iPhone speakers. The song has been on my phone for a while and it used to play just fine. With the headphones on it plays normally.

Please help! (I'm actually doing this for a friend but still)
All you need to know:
- iPhone 4 16GB
- iOS 6.0.3 (I think, not the latest iOS but the one before that)
- Song which started to act strange: niggas in Paris
- All songs work fine on headphones (including above)
- The song has been on the iPhone for a couple of months and used to play without any trouble
- When you play it on the iPhone's speakers you either only hear the background music, no sound at all (for a few seconds) or a weird old FM-radio noise
- Plays fine on iTunes
All help is appreciated!
Thanks.

I have this issue too. Same specs, newest OS. Happening on "O.N.E." by Yeasayer, but doesn't play the vocals through the speaker or headphone jack, unlike your issue. I just get all but the vocal track no matter what. Plays fine in iTunes. If you never get that distortion through the speaker any other time, maybe you can delete the song.
In my case, I can't delete the song through the phone since I use iTunes Match, but if you actually sync the songs/download them, that would be my first suggestion (swipe across, hit "delete."). Maybe that would work? Then resyncing or redownloading.
If not, maybe resetting or restoring may be the fix.

Ever since the latest version of Mozilla updated, my computer has been moving ultra-slow, probably because my computer is so old and only has Windows 2000 on it - not even XP. I don't know how to uninstall this version and return to the previous one.ng

The latest version of Mozilla is probably not compatible w/ my computer and operating system. The computer is 10yo, and the operating system is Windows 2000. How do I uninstall the new version and return to the old version?
Thank you!

It is working now. I no longer get the message about the item not being available in the US and I can access the store.

How do I find the total time (number of hours) my computer has been used?

I am not looking for battery cycles or idle time but time in actual use. I'm curious for a number of reasons. Anyone have any idea how to figure this out?
Thanks!

I do not know of any other place that records operating times of the MBP. Look for third party applications.
Ciao.

Iv downloaded the 0845 wizard from the App Store. Registered my details and it has been working. But for some reason it won't let me log in and keep saying failed every time I try to use it. Iv deleted and re-downloaded the app and it still says the same?

I would say to start by looking on their web site... unfortunately, that appears to be dead.
Based on the horrible ratings on the App Store (1 star for the current version), I'm not surprised it doesn't work well.

I performed a software update and the system is installing an update but it has been running for over 24hrs and keeps saying "This may take a few minutes, don't shut down your computer" Can anyone help?

Hello cor-el, thanks for your reply. I changed my settings for downloads to desktop and it has appeared on there. When I double click I am asked which program I want to open file. I click firefox and another box "opening install" says I have chosen to open the file which is an application and do I want to save it. This is the only real option so I press save file. I get a box saying this is an executable file which may contain viruses - do you want to run. I press ok and the final box showing C drive file name and desktop appears stating application not found.
This happens the same whenever I try to install.
To my untrained eye the application is not being recognised as an application and I cannot work out how to get it to do that.
My plugin is still showing as out of date.
Is there anything you could suggest. Thanks for your time.

I have a MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard. After connecting my HP Photosmart D110 to it, the printer works but the scanner doesn't. The message is"The scan cannot be performed because another program has control of the HP imaging device". Can anyone help?

Found the answer on the HP site. It's the original software that works with this printer OS X 10.6!!

On Apple TV, my pictures have loaded, but I cannot get the slideshow function to work. It has been "loading" 28 pictures for over 5 minutes. What is wrong?

I don't have any direct experience with D-Link equipment, but I may be able to provide some general advice. See if you can use a Web browser to connect to the D-Link's configuration screen. This probably involves visiting a URL such as http://www.192.168.0.1 . If you haven't changed the sign-on parameters, a quick Google search should find them for you.
Once there, note as many configuration details as you can find. You'll need those to configure your Time Capsule.
Use the AirPort Utility to configure the Time Capsule.
One last thing: It's quite possible that the Verizon network will have locked onto the "MAC" address of your D-Link router. Something needs to be done to reset this. If there's a separate box at your house that came with the FIOS equipment that's "upstream" from the D-Link router, I'd cycle power on it to see if that does the job. Otherwise you'll probably need to call Verizon to ask them to reset things once your Time Capsule is installed in place of the D-Link router.

I had my iphone 4 locked to vodafone uk carrier. I connected the phone to itunes on my pc and tried to update the version to ios 6 through itunes. But it has been locked and asks for sim of previous carrier. how can i return to previous state?

You cannot return to previous state. The update re-locked the iPhone
to the original carrier. You must contact the original carrier to see if
they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>Carrier?
Be advised that if your iPhone had previously been hacked/modified/
jailbroken to work with other than original carrier, it may be impossible
for the original carrier to unlock it properly.

My computer has been seen at Genius bar 6 times for freezing up, reloaded all original settings and even went to the apple shop where they replaced the battery and logic board. Still freezes after I try to reload iTunes stuff and app stuff from apple

my computer has been seen at Genius bar 6 times for freezing up, reloaded all original settings, all of their diagnostics, and they even sent it to the apple shop where they replaced the battery and logic board. Still freezes after I try to reload iTunes stuff and app stuff from apple, especially iPhoto which is seems to refuse to load and then begins freezing up all over again. Anyone else have this problem. Other than this, I have had absolutely no problems with this computer. Now, it's a file of junk.

Hi Ronald ...
Have you checked lately to see how much free space there is on the disk? Especially since iPhoto freezes at launch ...
Click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage
Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.
And make sure the OS X software is up to date.
Click the Apple  top left in your screen.
From the drop down menu click: Software Update
If you have anti virus software installed or are using third party Mac cleaning utiliites, that may be part and parcel of the your problems.

In Lion the command to back up library to disc has been removed? How do I do this now?

In Lion the command to back up library to disc has been removed? How do I do this now? Apple Support has given me a case number and accelerated it with a call back in a few days, and even the techs were surprised by the removal of the ability to incrementally back up to any kind of disc any items added to the iTunes Library since it's last back up.
While this command was in all previous iterations of iTunes, even most of the techs are working from iTunes 10.3, the Lion version has this removed. Help only mentions Time Machine as the back up method. Sorry, I've had too many hard drives go bad, and not one DVD or CD has failed when I needed to retrieve a past purchase or addition of any kind to the iTunes library.
Purchasing from the iTunes store just got less viable, IMHO.

Dave-
Thanks for the feedback. Those nasty old deprecated features, eh? Seems you are correct that it will now be a third party solution.
I just finished chatting with Mike Bombich about using his Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1 ( http://www.bombich.com/index.html ) to do the job.
He gave me a rough outline of how to set it up for incremental back up of iTunes ~/Music/iTunes or
~/Music/iTunes Music. Creating filters ( http://help.bombich.com/kb/explore/excluding-files-and-folders-from-a-backup-tas k#creating ) tells how to create and save different tasks.
I'l check it out and report back shortly.

Errors in the OLAP storage engine: A duplicate attribute key has been found when processing

Hi dear MSDN Community,
I am facing a problem while processing a cube with a customer hierarchy as follows:
Global Account --> Main Customer --> Master Customer --> Customer
The data comes from a flatted parent child table, that is, I create an extra column for every level of the hierarchy in the customer view. If a level is empty, then the value is filled with the previous value. Then I can use the property:
HideMemberIf = OnlyChildWithParentName for the intermediate levels (Main and Master Customer)
HideMemberIf = ParentName For the leafs (Customer)
HideMemberIf = never for the root (Global Account)
Consider this example:
Then, for the root level I am using as the key the fields in yellow in order to avoid duplicates. However, I am getting the error message "Errors in the OLAP storage engine: A duplicate attribute key has been found when processing" while processing.
I analyzed the query that SSAS issues to the server (select distinct ....) and I think it should work but it is still failing.
I had similar problems with the intermediate levels but I was able to solve it using a similar procedure.
Any help will be appreciated.
Kind Regards.

When are you having this error? While processing the dimension or during cube processing?
