  • Safari has been "frozen" by a pop up update1.new-flashplayers.us which I believe to be a virus. I don't want to click "ok" but my browser won't work. Closing done and rebooting doesn't help. It just comes back up and blocks safari. Please help

    Please help

    Force Quit  Safari.
    Press command + option + esc keys together at the same time.
    Wait.
    When Force Quit window appears, select the application if not already.
    Press Force Quit button at the bottom of the window.
    Wait.
    Application will quit.
    Relaunch Safari holding shift key down.

  • Firefox for Mac preferences shows .qif file format for quicken as "quicktime image format"-wrong application and won't let me select anything else

    Post to Firefox forum; Oct.2011
    Re: Quicken 2007; Mac OS 10.5
    Problem: can’t import or download Qif format files into quicken from bofa or Chase. Mac can’t recognize; how do I set preferences in Firefox (or Safari).
    https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/new?product=desktop&category=d1&search=Firefox+for+Mac+preferences+shows+.qif+file+format+for+quicken+as+%22quicktime+image+format%22-wrong+application+and+won%27t+let+me+select+anything+else&showform=1
    Hello,
    I previously used Firefox on my old Mac G4 with OS 10.3.9; the above issue existed with that system and Firefox 2.00.2 (or similar). I then "tried" to move to a G5 Mac with OS 10.5, hoping that an updated Mac Operating system and updating Firefox would solve that problem.
    I'm now working on my son's MacBook Pro, OS 10.5.8, 2.4 ghz Intel Core 2 Duo; 2gb Memory; 2 gb 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM.
    I still have a problem in Firefox Preferences trying to download .qif files. BofA Mortgage accounts only allow downloading of .qif files. My .qfx download works fine, but the error message is as follows:
    The error message is that this is a corrupted file or one that Preview doesn't recognize.
    and it is still a problem when trying to download Quicken .qif format files for our B of A mortgage.
    The preferences for Firefox under File Helpers won't let me name the extension I want; instead, it CONFUSES .qif (Quicken Interchange Format) with .qtif (Quicktime Image Format) for Mac.
    Therefore, when I download .qif files and try to import them to Quicken, I get a message that this is a corrupted file:
    thanks for any help.

    Well, in the end, I just gave up and deleted the photos, in the hope that it was something to do with them. Took some more photos and they seem to have imported without any problems at all.
    Given that the same irksome photos loaded on the wife's macbook without so much as a murmur, how weird is that?
    Still- all's well that ends well. Thanks for the suggestions- much appreciated.

    after updating got error 4005.  Now all I am getting is connect to itunes screen.  Won't let me do anything with phone

    Have you jailbroken either of these devices? Have you used the computer you are trying to update with to jailbreak a device? Have you tried using another computer to do the update? You may have to make an appointment at the Genius Bar to have the device checked, or send the device off to Apple care.

  • Can I recover photos on iPhone 4S not backed up on iCloud or computer when connect to iTunes error shows up on screen. Was trying to update now it must go to restore.HELP!

    Can I recover photos on iPhone 4S not backed up on iCloud or computer when connect to iTunes error shows up on screen? My son was trying to update now it must go to restore. HELP!

    If there is no backup of the device to iCloud or iTunes and the device has gone into recovery mode when trying to update, then the data is gone. If the device was connected to iTunes to do the update originally, it is possible the default backup was done, unless your son disabled it. To check to see if there is a backup, go in iTunes, click on Edit, Preferences, Devices and see if there is a backup listed for the date/time before the update was started. If he was doing the update OTA on the phone, then there is no backup. No backup, no photos.

    My iPhone 4 has frozen in my settings, while I was trying to update to the iOS 7. What should I do?

    Reset: Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons and don’t let go until the screen goes dark and the Apple logo appears
    The servers are overloaded. There are a hundred million people all trying to download iOS 7 at one time. I would give it some time and try again later

  • My Iphone 3GS went into recovery mode while I was trying to update to the iOS 6.1.2

    My Iphone 3GS went into recovery mode while I was trying to update to the iOS 6.1.2
    I need help fast. I'm on call and this is my only phone.

    It finally restored. I saw that a couple folks said they kept trying and finally got restored. So I decided to keep trying and retrying while I researched the techno routes folks described--DFU, tinyumbrella, and scary programming processes. I decided I'd rather put my sim chip in one of our old iphones and take mine to a shop than suffer through a bunch of complication. I switched to Apple b/c I got tired of playing programmer. I digress. After a few minutes itunes would drop my phone from dashboard yet continued showing the checking with Apple...status. So I repeatedly force-quit itunes, restarted phone, unplugged and plugged back into computer. Each time I'd do whatever itunes prompted then walk away. After about an hour of this, for no apparent reason, it went directly into recovery. Didn't lose any photos but did have to reinstall most of my apps. It has to be an Apple network issue related to this particular upgrade.

  • I have the iCloud backup screen up and it won't let me do anything.  It's stuck and I can't shut the ipad down or use the screen at all.

    The iCloud back up screen it on my ipad.  It won't let me do anything, turn it down or use any of the screen.  I have even tried to force shut it down but it won't let me use the screen at all.  I plugged it into my main computer to do a backup and it's still stuck. 
    Help

    It's rude not to share your solution and then mark your answer as correct so that it may help others. So in case anybody else reads this ....
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    That will get you out of that backup screen. There is a reason that screens shows up. You haven't backed up your iPad! Make sure you backup regularly!

  • Mistakenly added feed burner, don't have a blog and it keeps asking me to set my feed. How do i get this to stop it won't let me do anything else.

    I mistakenly added feed burner. I thought i was setting up to add blogs etc. that i was already subscribed to. Now it keeps asking me to "set your feed" and because of the drop down window asking for this it will let me do nothing else. I had to ask for this help in safari because firefox will do nothing now.

    In order to be able to find the correct solution to your problem, we require some more non-personal information from you. (You have to open Firefox) Please do the following:

  • My iPhone 5s froze while I was using an app then the screen went white and it shut off, it won't com back on... Help please

    iPhone 5s won't turn on is it killed?

    I've had the same thing happen to me when an app starts to lag, shutting it off will burn it on the screen, not allowing you to enter your passcode for the Iphone. It is frustrating but do as @kb1951 said. It worked for me.

  • I close out Firefox and a sign still comes up saying it's open and won't let me open anything else. In task manager it is not open even when the sign says so.

    The task manager does not show that a Firefox window is open but it will not let me do anything more until I shut down my computer. It's a real hassle to have to do that so often and wait for everything to load again and again

    Hi,
    This may mean the Task Manager is "lying" and could indicate a OS malware issue. These dedicated security forums would be helpful:

  • My ipod has a red circle with a red X in the middle. It won't let me do anything else. What should I do?

    My ipod fell through some bleachers recently, and since then it will not let me do anything. it is stuck on a screen with a red ex in a circle and telling me to go to this website. i cant do anything on it

    See this Apple support document.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1463
    You'll notice that the problem is usually associated with a failed/damaged hard drive, meaning you'll likely need to have your iPod serviced if you want to get it working again.

  • Facebook won't load properly. Takes forever and then I get a script page with log-in and then that takes forever and gives me further script that won't let me access anything. Other sites load and work OK!

    Started after last auto update several days ago. A few other sites are slow to load while many are good but Facebook just won't present it's usual mix of pre-programmed scripts and links but comes up eventually as part HTML script with a log-in box and when you log-in it then takes forever again and just gives HTML type script for "Friends" "messages" etc. but if you click these it goes nowhere!
    Also it won't let me clear history at all despite many tries. I removed and reloaded the program last night but no positive effect.

    I still haven't resolved this problem. Here is some more information...
    youtube is the only website that has started working, but it sometimes stops working again.
    There are many other sites that don't work, cnn.com, washingtonpost.com (sometimes), and a lot of others.
    I have contacted our internet service provider and they said that they had nothing to do with the problem.
    Some websites will not work at all. Safari tells me that it can't find the server. Some that do this are ups.com, computerworld.com, and others.
    I think that the problem is that, for some reason, our mac computers can't access certain servers where we are. (We are at a small ski resort (on the mountain) in Canada.) I think this because when a site doesn't load properly there are several errors and they are all "can't find host" errors from a couple of the same sites (ex. example.something.something).
    *Also, I ran a test on speedtest.net on the laptop and one of our iMacs and the results were way faster than anything actually loads/downloads or than the activity monitor shows, even when checking the activity monitor at the same time as running the test.
