Have noticed that after closing Firefox -- when I try to reopen it - get mesg that it is already running -- Am using vers. 6
Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system.
Must be the "hang at exit" problem. <br /><br />

when i start firefox, everything starts normal then my homepage (igoogle) starts to load, gets to about 30% and stops. from there i can click on links or bookmark and a new tab will open but no page will load. i can't get anywhere. then when i close firefox it appears to close normally but when i try to reopen firefox i get a message that firefox is still running but not responding and the only way to shut it down is to reboot. when it first occured i was running beta 6 (since it became available, i also used beta 4 & beta 5) i then uninstalled beta 6 and downloaded and installed ver 5 same problem. i then did a system restore to a time before the problem.. no luck. i'm not sure what to try next. IE & chrome both work fine
I'm in exactly the same boat - dead at blue screen, only option is to salvage using target mode.
I don't currently have access to another Mac to do target mode. I was planning to buy a new Mac this fall anyway, though. 2 questions in preparation for that purchase:
1) Is there anything I can do before buying a new Mac to make the salvage process more successful? ie, should I spend the time and money going to the genius bar to have them help me get from totally crippled to partially crippled? (As for expertise, I'm a proficient consumer-grade user, but Apple Support walked me through the safe-boot process, etc.)
2) Is Apple going to provide 10.5 once it is released to people who buy a new Mac in these 6 weeks pre-release?
Thanks for your help,

I have just installed i found the material that i want i the store but when i try to purchase i get message unable to connect to store and I have found that this has been going on for several years and still not been fixed. Is there anyone else having this problem
Purchases are tied to the Apple ID they were purchased with. If you use a new ID, you have to buy again.

For about a week now when I have closed Firefox down then I try to reopen it the screen message states that Firefox is already running and I have to restart my laptop every time. This is becoming very frustrating and time-consuming.
I have the same problem on my notebook but I don't restart. Just do the control, alt, delete and bring up your task manager. Then scroll down to Firefox, end process and close. Now you should be able to restart FF. Not a fix but better than having to restart your laptop.

I really have had a problem with Firefox responding sluggishly for the last 6 months or so. I have difficulty opening it, closing it properly, freezing up. I don't have this problem with other programs, so don't know what is going on. Also I can't use my latest version....10 of Adobe Acrobat now. Dont know if that is my computers fault or Firefox. Any help will be appreciated.

I am using Firefox in a Windows 7 64-bit environment. I have what I feel is a fairly standard set of programs installed. MS Office, Adobe Photoshop, Nero Burning ROM, Diskeeper... etc. And I have the latest regular version of Firefox installed, version 3.6.13.
And lately 2, out of 3, times I close Firefox it must not be closing correctly. But I cannot tell until I need to reopen it. Then I get an error message saying that it's already running and I should close the "current instance" of the software. Now I can either start up the task manager and kill it ... or I can restart my computer. And I've done both. But it keeps happening.
So I am wondering what might be causing this to happen? And If there is anything I can do to correct the issue?For more information see [[Basic Troubleshooting]], under

My ipod wont update when i try to update it and it says my network always times out and i get error 3259 i need some to help me please. I have also updated itunes several times but it still fails.
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode. -

I have Flash disabled but it's loading when I delete history and close the browser. Why?
Why does Flash load when it's disabled at all? It will load even when not deleting anything, just during normal internet activities.

Firefox suddenly quit opening. I uninstalled and then reinstalled it. It still wouldn't open. I tried to uninstall again and now I get a message that Firefox must be closed to prodceed with uninstall. I have even tried restarting the computer to make sure that Firefox is not running. I like Firefox and i want it back.
Thanks for this mha007 - I can now open FF with a new profile. Can I copy my settings from the old profile or will this bring over the same problem, maybe a corrupt file. If it would bring the same problem, is there any way I can check which file is corrupt, apart from taking them over one by one?

I think it's pretty self explanatory. This has only been happening since I upgraded to OS X Yosemite about a month ago. I'm running version 10.10.1 on my iMac. Another thing that I find odd is that my application icon for Pages doesn't look like the new one. It's the same old one with the purple inkwell and pen, yet it doesn't offer me any upgrade, when I find it in the App store or when I run "look for upgrades". It's ******* me off..! I'm a painting contractor and I write proposals all day. Sometimes they come back up fine when I click on the page I've been working on, sometimes I get the error notice. Even when I make a copy, duplicate or backup.
You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac and are alternately opening one or the other.
Pages 5.5.1 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '08/'09 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
Pages'08/'09 can not open Pages 5.5.1 files and Pages 5.5.1 alters Pages '09 files.
Right click open to chose the correct version of Pages for your files.
Pages 5.5.1 is a supposed "upgrade" but has over 100 features missing. I am surprised you didn't notice the huge difference in the User Interface as well.
If you are unhappy about all this mess, say so by rating/reviewing Pages 5.5.1 in the App Store.

I just got this computer today, everything works fine but I cannot connect to the internet. The Wi-Fi thing in the top right corner tells me that im connected, but when I try to open Safari, it says that I am not able to connect to the internet. I have done everything the computer has told me, and i still can't connect. I need help please!!
The problem lies between your router and the ISP.
Pull the modem or router/modem power plug, wait about 30 seconds and plug it back in to establish a new connection to the ISP.
Try another website, another device and see if that works if not then call your ISP for assistance and/or reconfigure the router.
If your router isn't secure and you had bad leechers the ISP might have suspended the access or perhaps met the monthly data cap rate.
