How do I get rid of the spinning disk in the middle of my screen when I access a web page?

Nothing to add.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

  • How do I get rid of the update request on screen when I am running version 21

    How do I get rid of the request to update my version of Firefox below my search request on the front page when I have already updated to Firefox version 21. My search engine is http://www.google.co.uk/firefox
    Thanks for any help.

    Try to use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
    *https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
    Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
    Current Firefox versions use the default search engine (pref: browser.search.defaultenginename) to set the search engine that is used on the about:home page.
    Check the <b>browser.search.defaultenginename</b> pref on the <b>about:config</b> page and make sure that it is set to the default value Google.
    *browser.search.defaultenginename
    Currently selected search engine:
    *browser.search.selectedEngine

  • HELP! How do I get rid of the volume noise that plays when I switch from internal speakers to external speakers?

    How do I get rid of the volume noise that plays when I switch from internal speakers to external speakers? I'm trying to watch something on my TV through an HDMi cable (& apple adapter) and when I go to switch the sound control in preferences from internal speakers to SONY TV, the annoying "popping" noise occurs on my TV's speakers.

    Go to Edit > Preferences > General > Import Settings and check the box for error correction, and then try one of the problem CDs again.

    how do i get rid of the annoying wifi connect screen, even after i have rejected and cancelled using it and revert to 3g?

    Actually just turn off "Ask to join networks". Settings ->  Wi-Fi -> Ask to Join Networks. This way your wi-fi will still work at home or anywhere that you want to use it but you won't get prompted to join unknown networks.

    Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.<br />
    You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.<br />
    Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

  • How do I get rid of the infuriating button that appears when I am scrolling?

    This button is apparently intended to speed up navigation within a document, website page, or email. In my opinion it appears unexpectedly, often overrides my input and causes me inconvenience. I don't want it, don't where it came from, don't know how to get rid of it. It's just more programmer masturbation, IMHO.

    Do you mean the button to autoscroll the page?
    *Tools > Options > Advanced > General: "Use autoscrolling"
    You get this auto scroll button when you middle-click with the mouse scroll wheel on a web page.

    How do I get rid of the spinning beach ball?  It's quite annoying.  Please help. 

    You want this moved to OS X forum? to MBP? An FAQ on system repair and maintenance?
    Try booting form OS X DVD and go to Utility: Disk Utilty and Repair Disk Drive - for starters.
    Unplug everything.
    Reboot holding Shiftkey - called Safe Boot, might want to look that up.
    Add more RAM, free up disk space. Delete temp and cache files (I don't recommend using a "cache cleaning utility" though Onyx has been around for years).

    Attempted to create a slideshow (version 9.3) and get the dreaded spinning ball that will not go away; iphoto locked up when open.  how do I get rid of the ball.  Have forced quit seveal times and opens with the spinning ball.

    Make a temporary, backup copy if you don't have a backup copy of the library (select the library and type Command+D) and  apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4
    Launch iPhoto and try again.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
