How do I fix this? Dialog boxes won't open completely and competion boxes don't work.

I'm using a Mac Book Air and OS X Lion 10.7.5. Firefox has been hanging up periodically and recovers after closing and re-opening, but the the frequency of hangups has been increasing. All other programs operate correctly and don't hang up. This also happens in safe mode. I've removed and reinstalled Firefox several times, but the problems remain. I've disabled all plug-ins and the problems remain. I'm led to believe that some Firefox files that are not replaced by reinstalling are corrupted and causing these problems. Also...I have screen shots but am unable to upoad them.

Firefox reinstall, does not remove profiles from pre-existing installs:
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from [https://www.mozilla.org mozilla.org] (or choose the download for your operating system and language from [https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ this page]) and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (or open the Firefox menu [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and click the close button [[Image:Close 29]]).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [[Troubleshoot and diagnose Firefox problems#w_5-reinstall-firefox|here]].
WARNING: Do not use a third party uninstaller as part of this process. Doing so could permanently delete your [[Profiles|Firefox profile]] data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. These cannot be easily recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device! See [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]. 
Please report back to say if this helped you!
Thank you.

Unfortunately I tried that and it didn't work. Thanks for the help though. I tried to uninstall and it said I couldn't because the file is corrupt or something, but I think I finally got it uninstalled and/or deleted or whatever, but now I try to reinstall/download it again from the beginning and I can't. No matter what I do I can not get Firefox working again. No matter how many times I try to redownload it. Any other suggestions?

If the problem persists, you'll probably have to make another apple id, it wont take off any games or music or apps or anything you've bought it will all stay there, i have two apple id's and i don't have a problem with anything.

Try:

- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

As I replied in your duplicate thread, these are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here.
You can contact iTunes support via this page :http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then probably Purchases, Billing & Redemption

HT3529 I have just updasted to the IOS6 and now my Imesasages and FaceTime won't work at all How can I fix this problem Please help I'm deployed and that's how i talk to my loved ones.

I have just updated my Iphone and Ipad to the newest IOS that Apple has available. And now none of my Imessages work or facetime. How can i fix this?

Try giving your iPad a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot and try again.
How are you charging it? its's best charged plugged into the wall not via USB. So if you're trying via USB, try using the supplied power block plugged into the wall.

Fast answers:
1. Try resetting NVRAM/PRAM and SMC. Doesn't usually 'cure' keyboard problems you report, but it costs nothing and only takes a few minutes.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3819550?start=0&tstart=0
2. Try plugging in a USB keyboard. Doesn't absolutely have to be a Mac keyboard. A PC keyboard will work for a test. If the typing problem does not occur with the USB keyboard, you have a temporary solution until you can arrange to visit a repair facility.
3. If your MacBook is older and has a user-removable battery, shut down the computer, remove the battery, and examine it for signs of 'bulging' or swelling. Then connect the computer to the Magsafe power supply, without reinstalling the battery, and turn it back on. If the keyboard problem has gone away, it was likely caused by a swelling battery.

How do I fix a project that won't open?

I have a few Final Cut Pro X projects that won't appear in the Project Library.
Here's a link to the file, could someone try opening it on there system to see if it works for them?
https://www.dropbox.com/s/nswzlfw285ys936/CurrentVersion.fcpproject
I'm on FCP X 10.0.9 running on OS X 10.8.5.
A few facts:
I beleive the .fcpproject file is corrupt somehow.
I have projects named "Draw_01" through "Draw_13", but all the projects after "Draw_10" don't show up.
Since each new project began as a duplicate of the last, I believe that some sort of corruption must have happened when I created Draw_11.
I'm pretty sure that it's not related to the names themselves since I played around with renaming working and non-working projects with no change.
Each time FCP X opens now, it asks to update projects to the latest version. I say Okay and yet next time I open the program it asks again.
I see no error messages. I only notice that the projects in question don't show up.
The Old Version folder on the problem projects are filled with over 126 files wheras the working projects only have 4 or 5.
Almost all of those 126 Old Versions files are the same size (8.1 MB) with the same date (Oct 10, 2012 9:11 PM).
And a new one is created every time FCP opens up and tries to update the version of said project. And it has the same date and size.
I've tried removing everything in the project folder and leaving only the .fcpproject file, to no avail.

Yes, I tried the Backup and I tried different projects from the Old Versions folder, to no avail.
As long as the file was the same size (8.1 MB) and therefore probably the same content, it wouldn't open. I tried an earlier project from the Old Versions folder that was smaller and it successfully opened. But of course it was missing most of the changes to the edit.
Obviously, at one point these all worked in a previous version of of FCP X, but along the way, maybe as it got converted by FCP for new versions, something got corrupted.

How do I fix this? Dialog boxes won't open completely and competion boxes don't work.
