Having bad hanging problems?
I've used Firefox for the past 3 years and have never had a problem. This past week, Firefox has been hanging and not responding. I've made sure that I have all the current updates...but the problem still exists. I've been using Internet Explorer the last 2 days and have absolutely no problems.
Try in [[Safe Mode]] and look at [[Basic troubleshooting]] and also [[Firefox hangs]].
Sorry I can not give an immediate answer it could be one of many things, read the linked articles please and post back with how you get on, someone will try to help if you you do not solve it yourself with that information.

I'm getting issues (In Chrome and Safari) where I go to a page and just see the HTML but no pictures. Or a youtube video will not load sometimes I don't get CSS or Javascript but I do get HTML. If I turn off the wireless network I see broken picture images. However when I am at home plugged into my TB display it goes to Gig-E and stuff loads again, in a few minutes that will stop working and I turn wifi back on and it works for a few more minutes. After a while I get sick of it and do a PC thing and reboot. The reboot makes the computer function like a Mac for a few hours to a few days then we are turning wifi off and on again.
I've had this problem on all the networks I have tried. This problem never happened when I was on Lion and I don't think it happened on Mountain Lion until recently but not sure. I blamed Time Warner for the problem for a while. There are 2 other Mac Book Pros in the house and the late 2011 is having the problem but the recently purchased 2012 non-retina is not having the problem... yet.
I'm running 10.8,2 and patch everything I can as soon as it is ready. Having USB3 issues as well.Sig,
Thanks for the advice. I finally tried a solution after doing nothing. LoL. What I did do was change the channel the router was on from 9 to 7. I think I've done something like this in the past when I had slow internet and that worked out well too. I thought that would help and so far so good. Not an interruption so far but we shall see. To the guy or girl who expressed that they had the same problem as me I would try changing the channel of your router like I did. I will monitor the situation and see if it totally solved my problem or not and keep this thread updated. Thanks people -
We have a 10 person office - all either use Acrobat XI or Reader XI. One person is on Windows 7. The rest are on Windows 8 (not 8.1). I say this because I thought it was a Windows 8 issue, but having the same problems on the Windows 7 machine. We are all having problems opening pdf's sent to us from other firms. This has increased in frequency over the past two months. We've checked with the various firms, and their other clients are not having problems. Some pdfs open but with a lot of missing content and strange formatting, others won't open at all. There are different error messaged depending upon the doc. Some are regarding the fonts, for example "can't extract the embedded font...." Others are "insufficient data" errors. There are more, but for purposes of keeping this short, I won't include them. Another unrelated issue is that we are having trouble printing excel files to pdf. The files end up with bad formatting. I've worked with adobe "chat" support, our IT consultants with no resolution. I also haven't found any similar "known issue" online Would very much appreciate any assistance. Thank you
The font embedding can be a problem if not done and you are trying to view the PDF and do not have the font on your machine. Acrobat will often try to find a replacement, but it is not always a good choice. Sometimes the "Use Local Fonts" button can be changed in state to resolve some of the viewing issues.
If you are trying to copy or export info, then it is important that you have the fonts on your system. Otherwise, the message you are getting about embedded fonts would not be showing up.
As for Excel formatting, be sure that the Adobe PDF printer is selected in the printer screen before you look for the paging and formatting of the file. In most OFFICE programs, if you change the printer the application will reflow the document to best match the printer (called "using printer metrics"). So check before you create the PDF that the layout is correct. -
I just downloaded iOS 6 on my iPhone 4 and now can no longer open internet links that were texted to me. Anyone else having the same problem or know how to fix this?
The SMS links thing is highly annoying. You don't have to copy/paste however. You should see an icon like this: (>) to the right of the text bubble with the link. Tap on that, the in the screen that opens, tap "Visit".
Alternatively, you can tap twice directly on the link, then hold your finger down after the second tap.
Still unnecessarily difficult, but not as bad as copy/paste.
What I don't get is why can't I find any mention of this change or how to fix it (if even possible) elsewhere online? -
Apple macbook pro with retina display is having yellow screen problems in which screen is not perfectly white and is yellowish. More over the service frm apple's part is ridiculous as they have faulty spare part. Does ne1 hv email of senior person?
Apple service centre employee told me that they do not have this 14 day offer in India.
And My mac book pro is taken in by Service centre people to run test etc and I will be informed the next day if they accept it as a fault or not ?
I feeling ridiculously bad. -
Looks like there's a problem with iTunes 8.2.1 hanging when left running. I have three Macs (Mac Mini, iMac and MacBook) all Intel, all very reliable until this upgrade. Each hangs if you leave iTunes running and a sync device connected. For example:
Mini: iTunes hangs and has two AppleTVs it syncs with.
iMac: Syncs iPod Touch - hangs if you leave iTunes running and the Touch connected.
MacBook: Syncs iPhone and iPod Nano - hangs if you leave iTunes running and either device connected.
On all Macs, I tried fixing permissions, no resolution.
This is not an insignificant hang. It's a hard hang, can't force quit, can't even shutdown using the bash command 'sudo shutdown -r +0'. Have to literally hardware shutdown (hold the power button).
Apple, please either offer 8.2 for re-download or fix the problem. This is a major pain.
Any help?
Thanks!
GregI am having the same problem, which seems to be related to whether my iPhone is connected to my computer or not. If my iPhone is connected, iTunes hangs, regardless of whether it is connected upon startup, application launch, or connected after the application has been launched. When I open the "force quit" window, I can see iTunes' status change to "not responding" when I connect my iPhone.
I trashed all my preferences, even went so far as to trash iTunes 8.2.1 and reinstalled 8.2, but it didn't help. Trying to install an even earlier version of iTunes won't work either, because the earlier versions can't find my iTunes library.
I wish that Apple would provide a customer service/support line for downloads and updates of its own software. -
Bad Buffering Problem When Typing E-mail because of Yahoo Ads
I'm having the same problem!! I've blocked pop-ups, reset my browser, checked browser add ons...talked with tech support at least 6 times and problem is still not resolved. What is the deal with ATT and their foreign tech support (in India!!)?? It has been suggested that I have a bad virus, I should change my internet browser, I should reset my browser, I need to delete cookies and other suggestions that can't remember at the moment...I finally gave up on tech support. ANY IDEAS???
I use my e-mail for business and type lengthy e-mails. For the last 3 weeks, I've had a horrible time with buffering when the Yahoo ads change. I type without looking, then when I look back up at the screen, half of the info is missing (because of buffering). I've blocked pop-ups, but it doesn't work for Yahoo ads. I've talked to 3 people @ AT&T Tech Support and they tell me that's tough. I've got an AT&T e-mail address, Home Page Yahoo.com and log into Yahoo Mail. Any help out there? Talk down to me - I'm "fair" when it comes to fixing computer issues. mwlmhi39

It's great to see that narcissism is alive and well (Raul, I'm thinking of you buddy). Apparently if Raul's iPhone isn't working, then no one has an iPhone that is working. If you think your iPhone is working, then it's because you're an idiot who doesn't know how to make or receive a phone call properly.
Unfortunately many posts of people who claim to have no issues with their 3G iPhones sound pretty much the same.
"If my iPhone 3G is working, then nobody can have one that is not."
"If you think your iPhone is NOT working, then it's because you're an idiot who doesn't know how to make or receive a phone call properly."
"If you think your iPhone is NOT working, then it's because you're an idiot who doesn't know squat about cell networks and 3G.
Please note, this is not aimed at you, but a general observation.
If their Iphone 3Gs work great then all of them have to work great and those of us who have a really bad iPhone 3G experience are just too dense to use them, are one the wrong network, clueless about 3G or generally just technologically challenged dimwits who don't understand neither the wonderful world of 3G nor how beautifully the iPhone 3G works, even when it doesn't.
Again, I had more dropped and failed calls with the iPhone 3G in four hours than I had with My Nokia 6280 on the same 3G network in almost two years. The network is also very clearly not overloaded, since I never had another another dropped or failed call after yanking SIM card out of the IDoorStop 3G and putting it back into the Nokia. -

Ever since version 6 was released I have been getting a very bad hang every 15 minutes or so regardless of what I am doing, so I cannot pinpoint the issue. I hope that your new update strategy doesn't create more issues like this that werent an issue with previous versions. I am a web designer and love how I have everything organized in Firefox, which I have favored for years but am getting frustrated and am starting to look at alternative browsers.
Firefox may be doing some maintenance to some files.<br />
Make sure that other cleanup or security software isn't preventing access to files in the Firefox Profile Folder

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Bookmarks_history_and_toolbar_buttons_not_working_-_Firefox
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

After having yet another problem with my MacBook Pro and having to wipe the drive, I am now unable to sync my iPhones etc without erasing all the music on them. Is there a way around this? I have no other library!
iTunes is a mess! It couldn't find it's own libraries and I was forced to create a new one. Now I don't know where my music is or if any's missing.columbus new boy wrote:
How crap is that?
It's not crap at all.
It's not that simple. For example, I've 3500 songs on my MacBook but don't want them all on my phone, so I have to manually select each song again???
There has to be a solution.
Why not simply make a playlist with the songs you want on the iPhone?
and maintain a current backup of your computer. -
I have an iMac that around 3 years old. Just installed Mavericks when it first was released. I also have a Time Capsule (2TB) that runs my network to my other three Apple devices: iPad2, iPhone 5s and a new Apple TV. Having major Mail issues here. Everything is very delayed and extremely slow. Moving emails to other folders sometimes takes a few minutes and the same goes for deleting emails. Delete them and they don't go into the trash for several minutes. It's getting very frustrating to say the least. Mail also quits very often. Mail also will freeze with the little color ball spinning, therefore I would have to force quit Mail. When the errors occur, it's automatically sent to Apple but there hasn't been an update since 10.9.1 that has fixed it. Apparently, that update was only for gmail issues. Anyone having the same problem? Fixes please?
I have my entire network and all Apple devices setup as IMAP, not POP. If your settings are setup as a POP account on all devices, emails will not erase when deleted on your other devices. Just something to keep in mind. I'm sure you're aware of this but just wanted to throw it out there. Google IMAP vs POP. However, it seems like your having the same issues as I am. I'm going to swing by an Apple store by me and speak to the genius bar and see if they can come up with something or are aware of this issue. Keep you posted.

MY PROBLEM
I am having a DNS problem with my laptop. It connects normally to th e wifi internet but when i try to surf the net it says "DNS Look up failed"
This problem only occurs when with the internet at my house. whenever i connect elsewhere my computer works normally. My ipod, iphone, tablet and other friends computers work normally when they are connected to my internet. i use dmy neigbours nework a couple of times from my house and it wrks normally.
Also when i turn my laptop on or off i can browse for a few minutes or seconds before it fails again. My skype works like there is no problem
WHAT I HAVE TRIED TO RESOLVE IT
I have tried changing the DNS, i used open DNS and google free DNS and it still didnt make a difference.
I have rebooted router many times, nothing
I have changed my home router, nothing
I backed up my computer, resored everything it to factory setting and put everything back on; still nothing
Run a diagnostics at 'Best buy' and they say nothing is wrong; but i know there is something wrong with the DNS
I have tried different "sudo" type of codes on my comupter from stuff i got online and nothign has proved fruitful yet.
i tried using safari, Google chrome and firefox, all not loading
WHAT DO I DO TO FIX THIS?You are correct. Syncing should transfer any purchased media, including videos, from your device to your iTunes library provided your computer is authorized for the Apple ID used to make these purchases. You mentioned that you have uninstalled iTunes before, but if you didn't follow this guide exactly, uninstalling iTunes and all of its components in the order specified, it may not have been successful so you should try again: Windows XP or Windows Vista/7.

I am having some huge problems with my colorspace settings. Every time I upload my raw files from my Canon 5D mark II or 6D the pics are perfect in color. That includes the back of my camera, the pic viewer on my macbook pro, and previews. They even look normal when I first open them in photoshop. I will edit, save, and then realize once i've sent it to myself to test the color is WAY off. This only happens in photoshop. I've read some forums and have tried different things, but it seems to be making it worse. PLEASE HELP! Even viewing the saved image on the mac's pic viewer is way off once i've edited in photoshop. I am having to adjust all my colors by emailing myself to test. Its just getting ridiculous.
Check the color space in camera raw, the options are in the link at the bottom of the dialog box. Then when saving make sure you save it to the srgb color space when sending to others. Not all programs understand color space and or will default to srgb. That won't necessarily mean it will be accurate, but it will put it in the ballpark. Using save for web will use the srgb color space.
