Having issues with speed with opening/dowloading/installing from some websites

Had speed issues with my ISP and they seem to think it is because of the browser, and that I should be using IE. Knowing my ISP is not going to take responsibilities if the fault was on their side, I did not believe it. However, when Microsoft stopped support for XP operating system, I tried to download a security program from another website and again I had nothing but problems. The program would download and some times even get all the way to be installed but the program logo would hang on for ever while installing, and I could not launch the program. If the program installed I would have to remove it before going forward. Their technical support said it was because of the browser as well. I do have IE installed but I never use it as my browser unless I have no choice. Today, my ISP rep called to solve my issue and at her request opened IE as I could go no-where with Firefox. I was right, my ISP is full of it as she could not solve my problem with or without IE. However, I left IE opened and downloaded the other program which it is now working great. Will I have to be forced to use IE so that speed and downloading improves? I hope not.

I can give a few tips.

  • Will not open a document from a website in another tab.

    When I am trying to open a document from a website link, a new tab opens in the link but the document is not there, the screen is blank. This happen EVERY time. For example, I just wanted to print a coupon from a department store and I clicked on the link, it opened in another tab and it was blank. The way I solve this is I open up Safari or Google Chrome and open the website and I can then get the coupon to show up. Other people have had this same problem with Firefox. I work at a store that uses printed coupons and people come in and tell me this. This also happens with PDF file links.

    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

    No. You must restore it to factory settings, without restoring the backup. There's no other way to clear your phone.
    If this seems unpleasant to you, keep in mind that 1) the prolonged effects of having malware on your phone would be far worse, and 2) you brought this on yourself by engaging in software piracy.

    Anyone having issues syncing iPhone 3GS with Microsoft Outlook 2007?  iTunes says it is syncing but it will not update calendar or contacts.  It just stopped working a few weeks ago.

    I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only person struggling with exact issue.  I've rebooted, upgraded, re-installed, pulled all my hair out as nothing works.
    The biggest dissapointment with this thread is that nobody seems to have responded with a solution.
    And yes I've managed to pull together enough intellegence to tick the box "sync to outlook" in iTunes - still nothing man.
    Definately does not sync from phone to PC and is very hit and miss on PC to Phone.  In other words now running 2 seperate calendars - Not helpful Jan.

  • CS6 Install issue asking to insert disk, but install from desktop

    Dont' understand what the installer is looking for, the install files are on my desktop (also tried installing from root c:\) can't get past:
    "Please insert disk AdobeMasterCollection6-EnglishJapan to continue"

    Perhaps the installation files have been damaged?  Please try downloading a fresh copy of Master Collection from https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=master_collection.

  • I am unable to open PDF's from a website since I downloaded Lion last year...can't seem to resolve

    I am unable to access PDF's (open them) from a website since downloading Lion last year...help!

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • When I open a document from a website in the browser a copy is saved automatically by download helper even if I just want to view.

    When I click to view a word, excel, PDF or other file on a website I am presented with a window that says
    "you have chosen to open ........etc What should Firefox do with this file?
    Open with
    Save file....."
    If I choose the option "Open with" the file opens and I can view the file but the file is automatically downloaded and saved. I then have to navigate to the folder on my hard drive by right clicking on the item in the downloads window, selecting open containing folder and then physically deleting the file. If I don't do this then the containing folder saves the unwanted downloaded file.
    Do I have a setting wrong/how can I stop Firefox/download helper from automatically downloading files I only want to view?

    A new tab opens by default as a blank tab (about:blank).
    If that isn't the case then an extension has changed that behavior.

  • Itunes install on windows - not enough space with 80 gig open, itunes install on windows - not enough space with 80 gig open

    Hi
    had itunes installed (windows vista 64), after lots of errors and refusing to sync nor repair nor upgrade - I uninstalled. the next step was that it didnt want to reinstall due to older version... have now removed all with Revo uninstaller pro. Now i cant re install as it tells me I dont have enough space even though i have 80gig open? dont know what else to try.

    Best to remove all music and re-sync from the Mac, which you can do without doing a complete Restore of the iPhone.  Assuming that you auto-sync music and not manually manage music on the iPhone:
    While connected to your Mac iTunes, change your sync settings by un-checking the "Sync Music" option, then apply the change to delete all the music.
    Since there seems to be some funny business with iCloud, where some music downloads stubbornly remain on the iPhone despite attempts to delete them, disconnect from iTunes and check your iPhone to make sure all music really was removed.  If you still see music, first turn off the "Show All Music" option (Settings/Music/Show All Music/OFF) since songs with a cloud symbol really aren't on the device.  If after doing that you still see music on the iPhone, go to Settings/General/Usage/Music and swipe left to right across "All Music" and tap Delete.  Hopefully that deletes past cloud downloads you may have done.  If not, I've had to change to manual sync mode, manually deleting remaining songs by navigating into iPhone via iTunes, backing up, restoring from backup, then changing back to auto-sync mode.
    Re-connect back to iTunes and change your sync settings to allow music syncing -- either your entire library, or selected playlists, genres, albums, etc. 
    You mentioned that your library is "only 14 GB" but consider that if you have a 16 GB iPhone you don't really have 16 GB of storage, so perhaps you're running up against a real capacity issue if you own a 16 GB model, or have a larger model but other things taking up space.  So perhaps you can no longer sync your entire library as you expect.
