Got Unresponsive script message. Whether I click on Stop script or Continue, it doesn't respond and browser has freezer. Can't even restart my iMac.

I clicked on a link and immediately got "Warning: Unresponsive script." Clicking Stop Script or Continue does not make a difference. It just froze or got hung.
I just got your email asking me to confirm the account I created with the username marlener by clicking on the link provided on the email. I clicked on it but it's not going anywhere because my Mozilla browser has frozen. Like I said, I can't even close it. I attempted to restart my iMac but it won't because it says I have to close Mozilla first.
I often get the Unresponsive script warning now that I've switched to iMac. I don't remember getting this msg too often on my Windows desktop. Is Mozilla more incompatible with iMac compared to Windows?
The screen has now turned white but the box with the warning msg is still up and I still am unable to close the browser.
The menu at the top doesn't show so there is no Help window for me to open.

Firefox may become very slow to respond because of badly coded JavaScript causing infinite loops on certain websites [28]. This problem can usually be cleared by closing the window or tab for that website. You can also temporarily disable JavaScript to view the problem site, but the website may not work without JavaScript. Read Firefox CPU usage for more information and also see the related article,Unresponsive Script Warning.
If the web site hangs Firefox (you can't even exit Firefox) try running in Safe Mode and see if you can get an Unresponsive Script Warning. Watch the status bar and see if this frequently occurs while it mentions a specific URL. If so, try blocking that URL using a content-blocker such as Adblock Plus. The problem URL may be fetching an advertisement or side panel that you can do without.
If none of this helps, try using a different browser (such as IE or Opera) or try accessing the site at another time. This might help you determine if the problem lies with Firefox, a poorly designed website, or content that changes over time, such as ads.

    The instalation process runs smoothly without any error message and iTunes has been installed in my computer before. The problem started with the update no. 12. Any idea what's going on? Thank you

    if itunes will not run, you probably have mangled windows badly

    TonyE is correct the plugin version comes with Adobe's Reader X.
    The failure in communication is two parted:
    1. Reader X is not Acrobat (Mozilla Plugin Checker)
    2. Acrobat is not mentioned in the Reader X download Page (Adobe)
    therefore confused clients.
    For readers '''CAUTION''' check the minimum requirements for Reader X.
    Here: [http://www.adobe.com/products/reader/tech-specs.html Adobe's Reader X requirements link]
    Do not waste the time to download (80+MB and Site is Slow) if your machine does not have the resources to execute it. ie. '''aging''' Hardware
    Unfortunately the Adobe DLM only checks the requirements after it has
    downloaded BEFORE the install occurs.
    This is '''very expensive''' for both the sender and receiver
    It might be why they called it READER X and READER 9 will not sense an update...

  • HT4628 I updated to Mountain Lion 10.8.5 on my 2008 model MacBook and now I cannot turn on the wifi.  I go to System Preferences, Network then click on wifi.  I click Turn Wi-Fi On but it doesn't respond.

    I updated to Mountain Lion 10.8.5 on my 2008 model MacBook and now I cannot turn on the wifi.  I go to System Preferences, Network then click on wifi.  I click Turn Wi-Fi On but it doesn't respond.
    Whats the fix?

    Forget all the suggested solutions for correcting the WiFi connectivity problems with the 2008 MacBook Pro. None of them work. Just purchase a Bear Extender (bearextender.com), install its software, turn off your computer's WiFi (and don't turn it back on!), plug the Bear Extender into your USB, and you will have consistent WiFi connection. Bear Extender never drops!

  • I get the error message "unresponsive script" when I try to open Firefox, and then I can only delete the message by going to Task Manager.

    After I downloaded the Firefox update, when I tried to open Firefox I got the error message: "Warning unresponsive script...etc". This happens every time and the choices in the message ("continue" etc) are unresponsive. Further I can't delete the error window without going to Task Manager to end the program. The problem also disabled Internet Explorer which will now simply not load. Google Chrome is working. I assume it relates to the update since the problems (for both Firefox and IE) occurred immediately after the download.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • I keep getting an error message ''dbghelp.dll is missing.  please reinstall itunes''  did that 3 times and same results.  can't sync my iphone or even open itunes

    i keep getting an error message ''dbghelp.dll is missing. please reinstall itunes''  did that 3 times and same results.
    i can't sync my iphone and i can't open itunes
    how do i resolve this issue?

    Taken at face value, you're having trouble with a Windows OS dll.
    Perhaps try an sfc /scannow. For instructions, see the following Microsoft document:
    How to use the System File Checker tool to troubleshoot missing or corrupted system files on Windows Vista or on Windows 7

  • I open a text message to respond and my screen freezes

    I keep getting the "low on space" message pop up, and when I went to open a text message it would tell me that there is not enough space and I need to delete apps. I deleted some works in the text dictionary and then suddenly my phone started to act up. It wont let me delete blank works in my dictionary. Also, when I go to open up a text and respond I type in one letter and my screen freezes. When I finally get it to the home page the keyboard is still there and is making everything slow and or not work. I have to keep turning my phone on and off. I have already taken out the battery 3 times already and let it sit. 
    Anyone have advice on what to do??? 
    I don't want to have to do a factor reset because I am scared I will loose my calendar appointments, pictures etc.

    Your internal storage is getting too low. These phones require a little bit of maintenance from time to time.
    Check your internal storage. Settings > sd card & phone storage
    Clear cache from the applications. Settings > applications > manage applications > all tab > menu button > sort by size. You will have to go through the apps one by one and pressing the white clear cache button. Browser, market and games seem to be the usual suspects.
    Backup your text messages to the sd card or send to an email address. Search the Market for sms backup. If you want to save mms messages, you will likely have to choose a paid application.
    After you have backed up the text messages, delete as many threads or individual messages as you can stand.
    Clear call history. Not sure if there is an application that will back that up for you. I use Lookout which has that as option.
    Move what applications you can to the sd card. The steps will be similar to the clear cache steps above.
    After completing all that go back to get your internal storage level and hopefully be amazed how much space you have gained.

  • Can't get itunes.  I get the following message when I click on either the shortcut or the program.  It says ITunes has stopped working and I can either check on line for a solution and close the program or just close the program.

    When I click on the itunes shortcut or the program  I get the following message:
    ITunes has stopped working.  My two options are:  Windows can check on line for a solution to the problem or close the program. 
    It seems that my entire library is not there.  If I sync my ipod will it add it back into my library on the computer? 
    I've even tried installing again and nothing works.  Tried the "repair" and it says that ITunes is loaded but I stil get the above error when I try to open the program.
    Thanks

  • I keep getting an error message when i click view headers. i am unable to view column headers and am unable to sort by sender.

    erro message when i try to view full header (cannot view any header)

    Assuming that you are referring to '''email''' ''(based upon your use of the word sender''), Firefox doesn't do email, it's strictly a web browser.
    If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.
    If your problem is with Mozilla Thunderbird, see this forum for support.

  • My IPad Doesn't respond and let me pass the ICloud backkup note after I click the OK botton.

     

    Try this.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    BTW - backup the iPad like you should. That will keep the message from reappearing.

    You have to delete the messages from the individual device. If you delete messages on one device, messages on the other are not automatically deleted.
