Have to keep refreshing Firefox to see messages received on Facebook, and videos do not play in Firefox 3.6.9. What's the cause?

While on Facebook, I always need to refresh the page to know I received a message, comment or whatever else. Also, while on game sites such as Gamespot, Firefox does not play any videos. All this is happening in version 3.6.9. What is the cause for this?

How ram does your machine have have you tried shut the machine down pull the power plug for a few minutes and plug it back in and restart the computer. The only thing I can think of is Low onn Ram or the speed of your connection. It might be the player you are using as well. download VLC Player itwill play everything.

Hi,
Try a clean installation of the flash plugin/activeX as follows.
First, download the Flash uninstall utility on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
Flash Player Uninstaller.
When the download has completed, close all browser windows, open your Download folder and run the uninstaller. After this has completed, restart the notebook.
When windows has reloaded, download and install the latest version of Adobe Flash. Note: You may want to deselect the option to include McAfee Security Scan Plus before downloading.
When the installation has completed, restart the notebook.
If the above doesn't correct the issue, then try the following.
First of all, download and run the Shockwave uninstaller on the link below.
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/shockwave/uninstall/win/sw_uninstaller.exe
After this has completed, restart the notebook.
When windows has fully reloaded, download and install the latest version of Shockwave on the following link.
http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/
Again, after this installation, restart the notebook.
Regards,
DP-K

TS1389 All of the options above have failed. I purchased 14 Jimmy Buffett "Fin City" songs and four will not play. I get the same authorization message, but nothing works. Please help!

Purchased 14 Jimmy Buffett songs from "Fin City" and four will not play. All remedies suggested on Apple Support have failed.

If only some of the tracks from the album are throwing authorisation errors at you, that suggests that the tracks are damaged.
If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the tracks and try redownloading fresh copies:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

Bad news: It sounds as if you were sold a jailbroken iPhone.
Good news: File a SNAD with eBay. Make sure all your correspondence has been through eBay Messaging. The fact that the seller has been ignoring you will not sit well with them.
You will get 100% of your money back, including shipping. Paypal will simply seize his funds and return what is yours.
Lesson: Don't buy a used iPhone.
It's much worse for the seller. His PayPal and eBay accounts will be frozen. Until he squares up with both you and eBay, he's out of money and out of business.

I have spent probably a few hundred dollars on movies, music and apps on itunes. I have only ever downloaded this on my iPhone. I plugged my iphone into a laptop and now all my music and videos are not showing up on available downloads. WHAT DO I DO?!

All of my music is gone. I have no idea how to get it back and Im worried because it isnt showing up on available downloads.

Isn't iTunes 10.5 r 9 a beta release for developers? If that's the case then isn't there a special web site for developers to discuss issues (and they are not supposed to discuss them on the public forum)? If you're not a developer and have this through unofficial channels then I'm not sure you can expect full functionality.

I noticed after switching from IE9 to Firefox that some website videos will not play. How is this corrected?

I sometimes want to look at how-to videos. Some play and some do not in Firefox. When a message does come up on the screen it says someting like 'sorry, but the video will not play...do you wish to download the plugin?'. Because I am very catious about what I download, I am not confident about downloading a plugin. Does anyone know what I need for Firefox to play all website videos?
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I am adding this to my original question:
I see that quick-time is an available plugin...Is this soething that will work?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Thank you

You're welcome. Glad I was able to help you.

Video will not Play in Firefox 7.0.1

I was getting a blank screen and video would not play. I tried URL Below in IE Explore 32bit and 64bit and video played fine.
I first disabled Flash Player in Firefox went to http://www.weather.com/weather/videos/news-41/top-stories-169/cat-stares-down-mountain-lion-22257 video !
Video would still not play. So I went to control panel in Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit Programs and Features and removed Flash Player, Note there where several version, one was 10. something and the newer one 11.0.1.152. After renewing I again went to link above and was advised I needed to install Flash Player. I re-Installed from Adobe and verified that it was installed in Windows and received no video again. Note there are 2 versions installed one for 64bit and one for 32 bit but both have almost the same name. One has X64bit and the other has 64 bit. It is noted at Adobe the 64 bit contains both 32bit and 64bit install. I still can view video after re-install in IE 32 and 64 with no problem. Same thing happens at this URL that I view all the time http://www.ky3.com/weather/ video is under Latest Video Forecast. It plays in IE fine.

Do you have fix for Photo Booth Audio and Video are not syncing properly, Do you have fix for Photo Booth Audio and Video are not syncing properly

My audio and video are not syncing properly. There is a lag from the audio to the video. Does anyone have a permanent fix for Photo Booth where the Audio and Video are not syncing properly?

If you monitor the "More Like This" box (top right), other threads appear. Opening them usually displays other threads. You aren't the only one having this problem.
One person having a Photo Booth problem, although not the same one as you are having solved it by running Disk Utility/Repair Permissions.

I cannot sync my iPhone with iTunes for Windows. Even if the computer is authorized, it keeps on displaying an error message that tells that this computer is not authorized. I already tried to do the resolutions you have given in case this situation happens.

It's an endless circle.
See if these instructions help: iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases

Ever since upgrading to Mountain Lion, my AOL messages sometimes, but not always open with a blank page. If I open AOL in Firefox, the messages open fine. This does not happen with any messages by any means, and it is not any type of certain message

Ever since upgrading to Mountain Lion, my AOL messages sometimes, but not always open with a blank page. If I open AOL in Firefox, the messages open fine. This does not happen with any messages by any means, and it is not any type of certain message. In fact, in the same screen I can often open an email from the same sender with email intact. This is weird. Sometimes I close the page and open a new page. Sometimes that works and sometimes it does not. It is a very annoying thing.

Hi,
When you start Messages fro the first time you are asked for an Apple ID
When this is verified and entered it appears in Messages Menu > Preference > Accounts and is Enabled.
The App should have also picked on on those iChat Accounst you had before.
These should be Enabled if they were when you last used iChat.
Exactly which "Accounts" are logged in can be seen in Message Menu > Accounts and will include the iMessage "Account" and Bonjour.
In the Window menu you will see CMD +0 for the Messages window and CMD+1 for the "Buddies" window which is a combined list at this stage.
Go to the Preferences > General Section and Untick the "Collect all accounts into one list".
This will give you separate iChat type Buddy lists.
You can check if that account/Buddy list is set to Invisible or if in the Preferences > Accounts > Security you have settings that will block some people from seeing you as On line.
You are saying Buddies can see you as On Line which implies they are still sending to your AIM based Names (@Mac.com is a valid AIM Screen Name)
I am not sure from your post if you are trying to iMessage their email IDs thinking they are Apple IDs and that they are using Messages as well.
There is no Buddy list for iMessages side
No-one can tell you are "On Line" until they have your details in the "To" spot in Messages with the correct iMessaged contact info (iPhone Number or Apple ID)
Obviously an Apple ID can be an email or look like one.
In some cases they are also valid AIM Screen Names as well.
In the case or the @mac.com name you may have linked this Apple ID to iMessages as well.

Ok so I cant open my Itunes due to Windows Error 2 and the message says to uninstall and re-install Itunes but I'm pretty sure that would wipe the library right? Is there any way to fix the problem and keep my library?

Hi neffn!
I have an article for you that can help you go through that process of uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. If you have Windows 7, you will want to see this article:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
and if you are using Windows XP, you will want to reference this article:
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925
Note that, as it says in those articles:
iTunes Store purchases or songs imported from CDs are saved in your My Music folder by default and are not deleted by removing iTunes. While it is highly unlikely that you will lose any contents of your iTunes Library when following these steps, it is always a good idea to ensure that your iTunes library is backed up. If you're unsure how to backup, see iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive.
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

TS3408 I keep on getting this error message on my Yahoo and Safari You're almost there, but your web browser doesn't support the newest version of Yahoo! Mail

I keep on getting this error message on my Yahoo and Safari all of a sudden;
You're almost there, but your web browser doesn’t support the newest version of Yahoo! Mail
The links it gives to upgrade don't work !

I have used the Disk Utility to rparir files and rest Safari. I have deleated Firefox then downloaded a fresh version, still the same error messages ! Please help it's driving me nutts.

Perky --
You do not need any "Cleaner" app for Macs. I would not be at all surprised if that didn't actually damage your Mac, especially if it were MacDefender. Applejack is OK, but I'm not sure what it erased. Do you know?
You also don't need any Virus Barrier. That could also mess things up.
The fact that all of your browsers are now messed up indicates that it is not a Safari problem, but more system-wide.

1st, you will not be able to activate your PPro1.5 on ANY new computer, see next link for the special version you MUST use

2nd, you already mentioned Virtual XP, so if a direct install doesn't work, that would be the way to go... or, to just do what SHOULD work from the start, just do Virtual XP

Problem with seeing messages received on msn messe...

Hi,
I've had the nokia X6 for 3 months now (my future father in law sent it to me as a gift! ) and i absolutely love it, but i have a problem with msn messenger. After i start a conversation with someone, i'm not able to see messages received until AFTER i send a message again, so my messages end up being a delayed response. I don't get any sort of message alert (like i do on my laptop) to make me aware i've been sent a message.
It really annoyed me a few days ago because I was trying to talk to my fiance via msn on my phone, but my responses were slow as i had to send him a message first in order to read his one. He suggested i join this forum, so please can someone help me?!
I know it may sound silly trying to get it solved now, considering i've had it for 3 months, but i wasn't really using msn on my phone till recently. This is the first time i'm able to use the internet on my phone, so i'm extra excited, but this msn problem has been bugging me. Please, please, please can someone help me solve this?
Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

LOL yeah, i've got a cool future father in law No, it's not on WLAN or gprs, but yeah, i need to check msn settings and probably call nokia support as well.
Sorry for the late reply. I was subscribed to get an email when someone replies, but i didn't! It's good i decided to check today if there were any responses to my question!
