  • Firefox keeps getting slower and slower as the day goes on

    It's exactly as the title suggests - it works fine first thing in the morning, then gradually gets slower as the day goes on. Last night, for example, I couldn't get on any sites for love nor money - all it kept saying was 'transferring to...' 'loading...' whatever site I was going on, YouTube videos keep freezing etc (I have to keep pausing and waiting for the little grey bar to extend a little; such a trivial thing, yet so annoying! I also unchecked the 'Use hardware acceleration where possible' thing in 'Options', to no avail).
    I've done all the usual tests (scan, virus checks etc), all of which have come back perfectly clear. I used Internet Explorer, yet that works perfectly OK, aside from a little slowness in getting a page to load, but I think I'm using a rather dated version of IE (I got my computer September 2012, and this version of IE was already installed on there!), so maybe that's to blame.
    I've reset Firefox, to no avail. It's getting on my nerves!! The YouTube part of my problem only started Wednesday night, and the slowness of Firefox started yesterday. As bizarre as it may seem, may the weather be causing the Internet to go slow, as it is unbelievably hot and humid here in the UK at the moment! I remember my Mum saying she had the same problem around this time last year when it was boiling hot!
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    While you are in safe mode;
    Press the '''Alt''' or '''F10''' key to bring up the tool bar.
    Followed by;
    Windows; '''Tools > Options'''
    Linux; '''Edit > Preferences'''
    Mac; ''application name'' '''> Preferences'''
    Then '''Advanced > General.'''
    Look for and turn off '''Use Hardware Acceleration'''.
    Poke around safe web sites. Are there any problems?. Then restart.

  • Desktop display randomly getting smaller and moving to the upper left of the screen.

    Hi all.
    I am hoping someone can shed some light on an issue I've been expierencing. I have scoured the web and have been unable to find much, if anything, in way of solutions. 
    All little difficult to describe, but I will include a pic as well as a visual.
    We are using some Q180's as media players for digital signage. For the most part they have all been working fine except for 2. Randomaly, the signage presentation will re-size itself and move into the upper left corner. This happens randomly and not at the same times each day. They are hooked up to a LED tv via HDMI. I have tried switiching the HDMI cables, ensuring all drivers are current and tried most all the basic troubleshooting. 
    A simple re-start will get everything back looking and running fine. Again, this is a digital signage application so we cannot tell if this has occured until the client calls to let us know which is not good for us. 
    I do apologize if this is not too clear of a description. Please refer to the image for a visual. Also, please feel free to ask me any questions you think may help you.

    I appreciate your advice. 
    Thanks!

    I found if you adjust the refresh rate (in display settings) then back again it stopps snapping.
    Do you all have an AOC monitor connected by HDMI?

    Outgoing ports are...

  • I am trying to uninstall itunes and keep getting a reject that reads "the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable."  Its windows...help!

    I am trying to uninstall itunes and keep getting an error that reads "the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable."  Itunes on windows.  Help!

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • ESET NOD 32 cannot scan past this point. I keep getting stuck at 56% at the following; C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Application Data\ Mozilla\Firefox\Crash Reports\Pending. Is this a problem with NOD32 or with Firefox? Thank you.

    I ran into a glitch on my system that I tried to fix myself. My NOD32 was always showing the yellow warning circle as my protection status when I started my computer. I tried to fix this every way I new how.
    Then I started to get pop ups asking me to fix and then send system error reports to Windows. Some stating they were '''''critical.''''' So I sent NOD32 the e-mail below.
    '''Me:''' I cannot seem to run a complete system scan. I keep getting stuck at 56% at the following point. C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Application Data\
    Mozilla\Firefox\Crash Reports\Pending
    I also keep getting messages to send error reports to Microsoft constantly. I also have this code C:\pagefile.sys-error opening
    Thank you for your assistance.
    '''Their solution:'''
    Based on the information you provided, we recommend that you upgrade to latest version of ESET NOD32 Antivirus and see if this makes a difference.
    Please click or copy/paste the following ESET Knowledgebase article into your web browser for step-by-step instructions:
    '''Me''' : I did as they requested and am fully upgraded and licensed with their new edition.
    Ran a new scan same problem.
    I sent them a new e-mail but now wonder if it is a Firefox issue as, C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Application Data\
    ''Mozilla\Firefox\Crash Reports\Pending'' this is where the scan stalls.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Try delete the files in Pending folder and make the scan again, do not be afraid to delete the files see : https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/679996
    thank you

  • HELP I keep getting an error message on my IPHONE 4 that says Unable to connect to Cellular Data. How do I fix this?

    HELP I keep getting an error message on my IPHONE 4 that says Unable to connect to Cellular Data and I have tried to reset network settings and factory reset but nothing helping so far. Took it to Verizon and they couldn't fix it either, said it's a problem with the phone itself and to contact Apple. My warranty is expired so Apple isn't much help either. How do I fix this? I have a data package so confused and I have had my phone for over a year but never had this issue before.

    I am getting this message also.... mine cant update too...

  • HT3500 I keep getting an error message that the "spools are full".  How do I access the spools and how do I empty them?

    I keep getting an error message that the "spools are full". Where do I find them and how to empty them?

    You may be able to determine the reason for this error by examining your Mac's logs with Console. To do that find the Console app - it is in your Utilities folder and looks like this
    You can find it by selecting Utilities from the Finder's Go menu.
    Open Console.
    If the log list column on the left is not already displayed, show the log list by selecting Show Log List from Console's View menu.
    Locate system.log in the list and select it. Many date and time-stamped entries will appear, hundreds of them, and you must find the entries relevant to your Mac's problem. To do that choose Clear Display from Console's toolbar. Leave Console running while you choose Print from iPhoto again. Examine any new entries logged in Console. If there are any, copy and paste them in a reply.

  • Please help.  Keep getting a conversion error when trying to convert a PDF to a .docx. Advice?

    Please help.  Keep getting a conversion error when trying to convert a PDF to a .docx. Advice?

    Sara,
    Please see my answers in bold below.
    What browser are you using? Try clearing the cache, or using a different browser. N/A
    Are you converting from within Reader, or directly via the ExportPDF website. Within Reader.I disabled the OCR and this did not work either. Try converting from within Reader, and disable OCR as detailed in this document: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (OCR) when converting PDF to Word or Excel.
    Are you on a networked computer? Make sure that there aren't any firewall/proxy settings that are preventing you from uploading files to the Internet. Not having problems uploading the file--that works fine.
    Make sure the file is within the file-size limit of 100 MB. It is <40.
    I get the error message, "File failed to be converted using Adobe ExportPDF online."
    Thanks for your help in advance.
