How do I return to version 6?? Ever since 7 loaded, my speed is terrible and I have had crashes. Help!
I have always updated automatically,. When version 7 loaded the other day, I thought nothing of it. It has been extremely slow and buggy since it loaded and I want to return to version 6 right away. This has happened on every connection from hotel WiFi to my Verizon FiOS at my home office.
Help
The two or three problems may not be directly related. Firefox 6 is no longer supported or considered secure, it is not recommended that you downgrade to that.
# see [[firefox crashes]] <-- clickable link -- <br/>if you are seeing crashes lets try to find the cause, please read that article and attempt to provide the crash ID.
#* please also try to explain what you see and when these crashes occur
# Speed is terrible, what is happening freezing, slowly loading, slow downloading or something else ?
#* may be interesting in looking at this advice: <br/> http://blog.bonardo.net/2011/09/30/is-your-firefor-freezing-at-regular-intervals (May already be fixed in Beta Firefox 8 ? )
#* there is also another [/forums/contributors/707680?last=42955#post-42923 issue] and iirc a developer was trying to investigate the causes of that, meanwhile again a workaround is possible.
* if you do need to downgrade currently it would be recommended you use firefox 3.6.23, that is secure and supported, but you will loose some features and advantages & fixes of the newer versions
** see [[installing a previous version of firefox]]

Hello, I was wondering how to get a version of a PDF document? My Adobe shot down and I have not had time to save my document with the notes had been taken. When I reopened there were no notes on my paper. I have a macbook pro. Thx.
Hi Erika1987,
If you have not saved the document and Acrobat closed then it's not possible to retrieve the lost data on the pdf file.

I am feeling so ripped off right now. I have wanted a Mac for years and believed the hype about it's stability and I have had more trouble with this Imac 2011 than I have ever had with a pc. It locks up with several software products from APP store. I have already had to have a technician to look at it and really couldn't figure out what the deal was. I was told that the APP store software should give me no problems but the truth is that it locks up on the software. This machine is only 4 weeks old and I am using 37 g on a 1 T hard drive. There is no reason for it to be locking up. Also, when I try to use the help program, it always tells me that I am not connected to the internet even though I have used both the mail program and the browser with no problem just before that. I successfully used the help program on my pc lots of times. I did not need a $2000. plus machine to just get email. I just wanted to unload on somebody that might understand my pain and after checking out this site...I think there is a few of you out there.

The apps downloaded from the Mac App Store are written by third party developers, not Apple. If you have problems with those apps you need to visit the support area for their websites. Launch the App Store, locate the app name. You should see a support link.

Go to ~/Library/Preferences. Move the com.apple.helpviewer.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash. Restart your Mac, try the Help menu.
If you need help finding that file, hold down the Finder icon in the Dock then click: New Finder Window. From the menu bar top of your screen click: Go > Go to Folder. Type this in exactly as you see it here: ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.helpviewer.plist That will take you right to that file.
(.plist) files stores information about a particular app or in this case, the Help viewer. Often times deleting the .plist file resolves the issue.
It's fine to "unload"... we understand that you expect your iMac to be stable but there are times when things go awry. That's why we have these forums so that you can you get help.

ever since i forgot my apple id password and changed to a new one, I am continually being asked to enter my iCloud password. It then says that this mac can't connect to iCloud because of a problem with "my username". nothing I do in in preferences helps.
You have to sign out completely in System Preference>iCloud (click 'Sign out') on a Mac, or Settings>iCloud on an iOS device (click 'Delete account' - this will not delete the account from the server). Then sign in with the new password.
Your iCloud data will disappear from your Mac or device when you sign out but will reappear when you sign back in. -

Ever since I downloaded iOS 7 my music and video sound has been really bad quality what should i do??
I had the same problem on my iPad v2 IOS 7. But it sorted itself after a hard reset (power and home button) followed by a soft rest ( just power) . I lost all sound at this point. Then restarted again with a hard reset.
Hope that fixes your iPad v2

how do i recover my purchased movies on itunes. the icloud does not show them and i have contacted apple twice before about this issue
Not all movies qualify for download on demand from iTunes in the Cloud, the rights may be reserved by the content provider and can vary by region. What response have you had from iTunes Store support?
If you have still have the computer they were on it might be possible to extract the hard drive, mount it in an external drive bay and recover the content from it.

I have updated my ipad to version 7.1 but in the process all my bookmarks and favourites have been deleted.
I tried switching off and turning back on again but they are still missing, please can someone help?Go to Settings>WiFi>Network Name - tap the blue arrow next to the name and then tap Forget this Network in the next window. Restart your iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Then go to Settings>WiFi - find your network again - enter the password and see if you can get online.
Or reboot your router - unplug it for 30 seconds and then plug it in again.
Or go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. You will have to find the network and enter the password again. -
I have an Ipod Touch and i have had it for about 3 years now, the screen has smashed just now and i was wondering if anyone knew how much it will be to replace the screen? I cant afford to buy a new ipod so I just want to replace the screen? Can anyone help me?
If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5s. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
iPod Service Support and Costs
iPhone Service Support and Costs
iPad Service Support and Costs
There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
1. iResq or Google for others.
2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit -
How to ensure that latest version of Flex application is loaded
Hello experts
I have a bit of dilemma here. I am working on application which is going to be used at various locations (globally).
Level of technical knowledge of users varies quite a lot so do operating systems authorizations of the PCs they are working on (various companies with different level of security).
At the moment I am facing issue where some users are still using older release of the Flex application even after refresh and deletion of temporary internet files.
Is there any way to ensure (using some AS code or Flex project settings) that only latest versions of SWF files are loaded (not the one from buffer/cache)?
Regards
MichaelBTW, I have added following line to the HTML template/wrapper:
<META HTTP-EQUIV="CACHE-CONTROL" CONTENT="NO-CACHE">
but it is still picking up older version of SWF file on certain PCs. It does read latest HTML (wrapper) file though. Seems that caching is only enabled for either certain file types or files exceeding certain size.
I have decided to do something a bit daft (or cheeky, depends how you look at it) as temporary solution and rename 2 main files (main SWF and HTML) to something like:
Application_name_ver_XYZ.*
It can be done in couple of minutes after release build has been exported (no need to update project itself). That way I can fool browser so it will pick up latest version (since its different file with different name).
Main application consists of 10+ modules and some of them are compiled into separate SWF files. I am loading them inside application using ModuleLoader component. I have set parameter cachePolicy to "off" as I am not going to rename all these modules each time I am releasing new version of application.
The end result is that main application is refreshed but all modules that are being loaded are picked up from cache (old versions).
So as a last resort I have decided to change folder name of my application. That way all the files (main app and modules) are considered as new files since location of all of them has changed. It is just a workaround, it does work but it carries certain risks. If user will use old link application will still load (older version) and then consequences can be catastrophic (even corruption of data).
Has anyone experienced same issues?
I know these are more browser/network issues but how do I deal with them. Some of these people cant ask IT for support (for various reasons). Is there anything else I can do to ensure that users across the board will use latest version of application?
Regards
Michael
