General failures after installing on new windows 7 laptop.

I have installed FF12 and earlier versions on my new Win7 laptop and have encountered some problems.
1. I type a url into the address line, hit enter and nothing happens. I type the address, click the arrow and nothing happens.
I can usually use the search box for a usable link to my target. Links on websites also work. This problem does not happen with Chrome or IE, or any other app.
This is very annoying, and I like my FireFox.
2. My password manager has disappeared. I still have the password list, but the manager is no longer found in the tools menu. Passwords are not filling in at sites where they were saved.
Please help!

Start Firefox in -> [[Safe Mode]] to check if your add-ons/extensions are causing the problems.
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* Check and tell if you are able to type URLs in Location bar abd surf the web normally while using Firefox [[Safe Mode]].
For Passwords, see these articles:
* [[Username and password not remembered]]
* [[How do I make Firefox remember my usernames and passwords?]]
Check and tell if its working.
Not related to your problem but some of your Firefox Plugins are out-dated

If you failed to create recovery media, obtain it from Toshiba. Scroll down to Get Recovery Media here
See the instructions in the section Restoring from recovery media, which begins on p. 56 of the User's Guide.

Catastrophic windows 10 failure after installing virtualbox

Hello,
I recently experienced complete and unrecoverable failure with the TP right after installing virtualbox and restarting my laptop.
The symptoms:
-Black screen with cursor on boot, windows would not load any further after multiple restarts and waiting one hr+
-Unable to recover with the win10 boot disk i made, kept running into errors with any of the available options
After a little bit of internet sleuthing I found a post mentioning that virtualbox resets the networking on the PC, which in turn breaks the TP on reboot, same thing that happened to me.
I'm also unable to reinstall the TP with the win10TP boot usb I created, it keeps saying that none of the partitions match. Right now it looks like I will have to do a full reinstall of win8.1 and load a backup image and restart.
Hopefully this doesn't happen to anyone who wants to use virtualbox with the tech preview

Hi codyvieira,
Thanks for your sharing.
Due to current build is for technical testing, there might be compatibility issue existed between Windows 10 Technical Preview and old software.
We may wait for new version software for Windows 10.

After installing a new version of Firefox, I get the error message "The procedure entry point JS_GetOperationLimit could not be located in the dynamic link library js3250.dll" when I try to start firefox. Elsewhere in the forum a complete reinstall is suggested; however, I can't do that because of my company's IT policies. Is there any way to solve this problem WITHOUT a complete reinstall? Thank you!

If you can't reinstall Firefox yourself then you need to contact your IT department and ask them to check the Firefox installation.
It is possible that some files got broken with the latest update.

After installing the new Yosemite OS on my iMac I can no longer send email. I can receive email, but not send. I use gmail and can send email on the gmail (google) site, but not on "mail" on my iMac. Any others with this problem? What should we do?

After installing the new Yosemite OS on my iMac I can no longer send email. I can receive email, but not send. I use gmail and can send email on the gmail (google) site, but not on "mail" on my iMac. Any others with this problem? What should we do?

My gmail, which is correctly configured for Mail with gmail SMTP and Google IMAP, works for awhile on Mail, which I leave open while working on other applications. But several times a day I get msg from Google: "We recently blocked a sign-in attempt to your Google Account" . . . and requiring me to verify my account details, re-enter passwords, confirm security settings (or change them from "disable" to "enable less secure methods" and so on). In Mail I also have tried "taking all accounts online", and re-entering my gmail password inside Mail account settings. These steps successfully re-set comms between gmail and Mail ... for awhile, then it happens again. Enough occurrences over a work day that I just quit Mail and revert to accessing gmail directly. Apple Care advisor and an Apple knowledge base article say that Apple can't deal with this, as gmail is third-party app, and they refer me to gmail, and so far I've found nothing helpful there.
From today I also have several instances of a window saying "Mail has unexpectedly closed" and asking me to Re-open it.
I also use Yahoo mail, which stops working with Mac Mail at the same time as gmail, but I do not receive notices to re-verify from Yahoo.
I recently upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite. The Mail problem happened occasionally with Mavericks but is far more frequent with Yosemite.

Problems installing update PS CS5 on new Windows 7 laptop w/ prior PS vers. already installed

Hi,
When I first got my new Windows 7 laptop, I tried loading PSCS5 onto it, but since it was an update disk, and previous versions weren't there, it didn't load. I finished my work during a 30-day trial period on a recent sabatical, I uninstalled it and all PS files except images saved, and have now gone through the following process in attempt to load it:
1) Loaded PS 6.0 from a CD and serial number that I own--no problems
2) Loaded PS CS2 from a CD and serial nuimber I own--no problems
3) Loaded PSCS5 from an update CD also purchased, and got an error message saying something about CS4 needing to be uninstalled before CS4 could be properly loaded.
Puzzling because A: I never loaded CS4, and B: was not trying to. So I uninstalled everything conceivably troubling from Adobe, even Flash Player, Patch files, but not ASA or Adobe Download Helper. Some Adobe files left behind I deleted and emptied the recycle bin and restarted over several different times. To my knowledge, my CS5 has only been used on one other computer. Do I need to de-activate it on the other one? I don't find it on a 3rd computer, but if it was simply uninstalled, without de-activation, would I need to re-install it to deactivate it on the 3rd one. I'm hoping somebody can help me tell how many computers have CS5 activation.
Now, I've tried simply loading the CS2 disk and going to the PSCS5, and that failed, so I re-did steps 1-3 after purging also Lightroom3 and DreamWeaver CS3, thinking something from them might've been the culprit (though they earlier loaded flawlessly after a de-activation of DW on another computer). This time the Adobe Support box came up and after searching the system or whatever, said 'no problems could be found', and that I should contact Adobe Support. No FAQ's address this problem and a scan of forums was not helpful. So here I am.
Any ideas? If it is lack of a Registry entry, it would be helpful to know exactly which one and how precisely to get it and patch that into Windows 7 for those of us who are not IT geeks. I'm guessing this might be a recurrent issue and it would be helpful to simply have that code to patch in, if it is known.
Otherwise, I'm stuck using CS2, which while OK, is not CS5.
All my Adobe products have been purchased originally purchased and activated by me.
Thanks for any help,
Michael J Kissane

Hi Jeff,
After reading your mail, I've un-installed the previous versions now
(both 6.0 and CS2), including manually some files listed as
impossible to uninstall under the PS 6.0 wizard (Adobe Program files
x86, something). I restarted the computer (Lenovo running Windows 7
Home Premium).
I then tried to run the PS CS5 Upgrade disk directly and it failed
with suggestion to go to the ASA, which said quickly "Inspection
could not identify any issues. Please contact Adobe Support for
further assistance"... and the website for same.
I recall I did get a box with a request for the qualifying
prerequisite's serial when I first tried this in December, but not
having that on hand and after failing (I believe I even tried getting
serials from 'My Adobe' resource) I punted and went for the trial
period to finish my project. The rest I've written about in my forum posting.
I'm hoping info from Maggie_8 from the forum
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3880631#3880631 may get me through
it. Otherwise, I don't know if I can save what's on the new laptop to
an external HD and start all over after back tracking to a previous
point (this was possible in older Windows OS, I recall, but one lost
anything not saved elsewhere as the clock was turned back, so to speak)
Frustrating...I had problems with Adobe Reader, too, and I hope I've purged it.
Will persevere, but without wasting eons of time. Other fish to fry
and all that...

I see that i have a problem after installing my new hard drive on my macbook pro mid 2009 version. I put a new hard drive, with all of my information from my old drive installed on it, into the computer. but now have the blinking question mark folder

i see that i have a problem after installing my new hard drive on my macbook pro mid 2009 version. I put a new hard drive, with all of my information from my old drive installed on it, into the computer. but now have the blinking question mark folder. I see that it means that it isn't reading the new hard drive.
did i miss a step between transferring all of my information from my old hard drive to the new hard drive and installing the new hard drive into the computer. I believe that i installed properly. it was quite easy.
thanks for your help

It means there is no bootable system on the drive. If you still have access to the old drive, then I suggest you boot from it then clone it to the new internal drive. Use OPTION boot to boot from the Recovery HD on the old drive:
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
     1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu then press the Continue
         button.
     2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
     3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
     4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it
         to the Destination entry field.
     5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
         the Source entry field.
     6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Source means the external old drive. Destination means the new internal drive.

After installing the new software to my iPhone 4S , my dream zoo either will not start or when it does it has a blank screen that has a few icons on it that wont work. How can I fix this is it possible to go back and reinstall the older software ?

Unfortunately I tried that and it didn't work. Thanks for the help though. I tried to uninstall and it said I couldn't because the file is corrupt or something, but I think I finally got it uninstalled and/or deleted or whatever, but now I try to reinstall/download it again from the beginning and I can't. No matter what I do I can not get Firefox working again. No matter how many times I try to redownload it. Any other suggestions?

TS1398 I can no longer transfer photos from i photo on my mac to my i pad via iCloud. According to i photo the photos are on i cloud. There is plenty of storage space available. This happened after installing a new wi fi printer

I can no longer transfer photos from my mac to my i pad via i cloud
Accordong to i photo on my mac the photos are in i cloud
There is plenty of storage available
Don't know if it is just a coincidence, but problem arose after installing a new wi fi printer

There are apps such as Simple Transfer which allow you to transfer photos to/from your iPad and your computer via your wifi network - they will copy into the Camera Roll album in the Photos app on your iPad

My telus email no longer works after installing the new os Yosemite

my telus email no longer works after installing the new os Yosemite

This is a problem between Telus and Yosemite. Telus, of course, blames Apple.
Check the box that says "Allow insecure authentication" That will get your email working.
However, this box will get un-checked when you stop start Mac Mail. The next time you start Mail, you'll have to re-check it for each Telus account. (This is the bit that Apple needs to fix.)

After installing a new hard drive can I install snow leopard directly from snow leopard disc

After installing a new hard drive can I install snow leopard directly from snow leopard disc. Or do I have to install previous versions first. iMac 7.1 (2007) 2.8ghz

You can install directly, assuming the disk is newer than your computer and not designed for a different Mac, but doing so won't install iLife.

Camera app doesn't work after installing a new screen

I have been fixing broken iPhone screens for quite some time now but have never come across something like this. After installing a new screen the camera app won't show the camera and the shutter never opens. I thought I didn't put one of the cables in right so I double checked and sure enough they were in good. I restored the phone and tried it again with no luck. I then switched out to another screen I found and the camera worked perfectly. This is so bizzarre to me but can anyone explain to me what is wrong? Or what has happened? I have never seen anything like this.

I keep getting an error message of (0xE80000001)!
