HT5493 If I have three web browsers, do I have to download three plugins? Download one plugin three times? Download onece/
The latest update says it will install a new java, and uninstall browser plugins. I have Safari, Firefox, and Chrome. Would this update only affect Safari? Will it break Chrome and Firefox? Thanks.
The following solution is useful for people who have the full version of Acrobat 9, but are getting the error message "the Adobe Acrobat plugin has crashed". You probably want the features in the full version of Acrobat, but still need to be able to open PDF files from your Firefox browser.
Go to Tools > Options > Applications. Scroll down and change all of the Adobe Acrobat files to open with Acrobat 9 (or whatever version you have) instead of "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)". This may not be as handy as having it use Acrobat inside the Firefox browser, but it will still let you open PDF files without having to uninstall the full version of Acrobat. Hope this helps.

I have two external hard drives. One is my Time Machine backup drive. The other I use for external storage of files (documents, photos, movies, etc). Can I set Time Machine to backup BOTH my Mac hard drive and my other external hard drive?
Yes you can make multiple backups on one hard drive, for example if you’ve 1TB hard drive installed in your PC and you’ve two Mac Machines with 500GB drive each then you just make two backup images with size of 500GB each.

When trying to delete web pages from my history at the location bar drop-down area, I do as Firefox instructs by hitting the 'ctrl, shift, delete' keys but some web pages remain. Even if I highlight each page and hit delete, they remain. How can I eliminate these web pages?
If you visit a bookmarked site then that site will become a history item and shows as such in the location bar drop down list.

This happens with small sites as well as major ones such as amazon.com. It happens frequently with many different websites both when typing in a URL or clicking on one from search results or other pages. If I am opening it in a new tab, the page is blank and the correct URL shows in the address bar even though it didn't load. When I get the message "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded" I have to click okay and then click on the link again or click refresh. Sometimes it loads on the 2nd try; other times I have to refresh multiple times to get it to load.
Anyone know what is causing this or what will help?* "Clear the Cache": Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
* "Remove the Cookies" from sites that cause problems: Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Why would you allow firefox to update computer web-browsers if you have an idea that it will no longer work after the update? And why would you not include instructions for, how to fix the problem? Help Please! Can I go back to the old one?

[email protected]Mozilla, like many other software companies, thoroughly test their software before releasing it to the public and I'm sure that no problem you are having is intentional.
I do not work for Mozilla but I do have experience of releasing software for public usage.
Firefox has no way of knowing what other software is already on your computer and with millions of combinations it isn't always possible to test for every scenario.
You can go back to the old version of Firefox but that won't always solve your problem.
The web site below tells you how:

Any website I try to visit using Firefox won't load, it just keeps saying that it is unable to connect. I tried other web browsers, and they work no problem. I tried following the proxy steps provided, but did not help.
Did you check your security software (firewall)?
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.
See [[Server not found]] and [[Firewalls]] and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firewalls
If you use a Firefox 4 beta release then you should create a new profile exclusively for the 4.0 beta version and create a desktop shortcut with -P "profile" appended to the target to launch that profile.

Web browsers fail intermittently with fast user switching
I have a Core2Duo iMac (the first ones, so its the White case) that my wife and kids share. They leave all three accounts logged in most of the time.
Frequently Safari will stop being able to connect on one or more accounts. The internet connection is good as Mail, iChat and pinging apple.com from Terminal still work fine. But Safari and FF both throw errors about being unable to reach xxxx server.
Many times I can just change users and it will work on the other account. Most times if I log out the troubled account and then back in, it will be fine as well.
I am fairly network savvy and unable to determine what is failing. There doesn't seem to be anything of interest in the console logs. Seems to be somehow specific to web browsers.
Also, until we added the account for my 7 year old a couple months back, this hadn't happened that I am aware of, since there was a third account in use all the time, it has become a regular occurrence. Initially it seemed to only happen on his account, so I created a new one for him and deleted the old one, but it now has happened on his and my daughters' accounts. They both have parental controls enabled, though we aren't blocking web sites at all.
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions,
jackThanks for the info, nice to know its not just me
Have tried EVO67 suggestion and its still the same, any suggestion on which plist files to remove?
And yes I mean accounts not profiles, sorry!
If I turn off FUS then it doesnt happen but that is the same as logging out of one account, same result. -
I have replied to you three times now without reply. I DID NOT authorise a payment of £9.99 for NowTV. What is the solution to getting my money refunded. I think you assume I will go away after being Ignored. No I will not go away. I find now that you have DISABLED MY APPLE ID. Is this a punishment you use to anyone who takes up a stand against charges being made unauthorised on their account?. Please tell me why you have disabled my account. When will my account be restored? If not when will you refund ALL my purchases made to APPLE/ITUNES? I can then move on to another brand and hopefully better customer service. After reading articles regarding APPLE ID DISABLED it appears common practice from your company to DISABLE anyone's account if they question unknown charges. Please reply with your intentions regarding the unauthorised payment and the DISABLING of my account.

After uploading our phones with the latest update, we have noticed that the battery life has deminished considerably. I now have to charge my phone overnight and two or three times a day. Prior to the update, my battery life lasted me at least a full day. We have several phones in our office and the ones that have updated (4) now have issue holding a charge/battery life. I really liked this phone and can not believe that you are now going to charge us $79 a battery to fix what is most definately a problem with your latest update. I know other people outside of our company that are having the same problem. Not to mention when I called AT&T it was confirmed to me that they are hearing the same issue and then some from other customers as well. Your own people, once I talked to them earlier today, told me they are showing a history of issues that are showing up after the update was put in place. Of course she tried to say, "Maybe the age of the battery and the update both contributed". Whatever.
I want you all to know how disappointed I am in your company for the handling of this issue. I always thought "Apple" was the line I didn't have to worry about having any types of issue. And that you all would stand behined your product 100%. Now I am not so sure.
I would love to hear back from your company on how you perceive the issue with all of these phones that prior to the update didn't have any issues and how after the update THEY ARE NOW having issues. I do not believe this was an issue due to the age of a battery and that was pretty lame to say so. It was fine and now its not.
Please feel free to contact me and help me figure out a way to pay for all of the batteries that will be needed for our company to contiue doing business as needed.
Thank you.

Under Snow Leopard my web browsers no longer display thumbnails.
Since installing Snow Leopard neither Safari not Firefox display thumbnails on certain web sites. The most notable being Google picture search. Everything works fine except the thumbnails are empty white rectangles. If I click on an empty thumbnail I will get taken to an image which displays fine. The problem is thumbnails and thumbnails only.
I downloaded Googles own Chrome and even it can't display thumbnails on a Google picture search. The problem exists also on many other picture sites such as Getty images, but not, for example, on Wikemedia. It happens in all browsers - all of which are completely up to date as is my OS X 10.6.2. My video cards and monitors are all Standard Mac issue from Apple and the drivers supplied by Apple as part of the OS.
In all this confusion the one thing that is absolutely 100% certain is that the problem started from the moment I first powered up Snow Leopard. Of that there is NO doubt. Before then there was never any problem. I am a graphics professional and constantly need to picture search. For the time being I have had to dust off my old G4 and use it as a picture search machine and then network the downloads across to the Mac Pro. That is hardly satisfactory.
Has anyone any suggestions for this bizarre problem? I have done a mass of web search and have found no reference to anything similar.
Getting rather desperate after months of this ...... :o((Well lepkitty I can report success. My browser is now thumb-nailing faster than ever before.
Problem solved!! You get a gold star!!
In case others with the same problem stumble on this thread here is the solution. I am no techie so It will be simple .......
Problem:
Safari, or any other OS X browser doesn't thumbnail Google (and many other) picture searches but hangs forever loading the thumbnails leaving empty white rectangles on the screen. Google maps don't zoom, pan or update. The problem is unique to Snow Leopard.
Cause:
When OS X and Safari (or other OS X browsers) perform certain operations, of which picture searching is one, they speed things up my making multiple simultaneous connections to the host. Rather than loading the thumbnail images one by one they will make multiple connections, to say Google image, and pull down multiple thumbnails simultaneously. Leopard makes up to eight simultaneous connections at a time. Snow Leopard, however, can make as many as sixteen.
This where the trouble starts. Many router's firewalls interpret too many simultaneous requests as a "SYN flood" (This is a form of malicious attack using multiple simultaneous connections. If you really need to know - more here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SYN_flood) It seems quite a lot router's firewalls set the simultaneous connection threshold at 10. My Phillips did and Belkins do too. Any attempt to create more connections than this will be treated as malicious and will be blocked by the router.
Solution:
The solution is to change your router's firewall settings. Every router is different so these directions are rather generic. The precise menus, and wording will change from one to another but, trust me, I am no techie, it's really not difficult .... this isn't going to be rocket science ......
Here is what you do:
You access your router by entering "http://192.168.1.1" in your browsers address box. You will be asked for a user name and password. You should find the default setting for these in your router's manual. (On most it is "admin","admin")
Once in your router's menu you need to look for firewall settings. You may need to look for "Advanced" settings first and then look for "Firewall".
Once you have found the firewall menu you need to look for "SPI and Anti-DOS" (On my router it's inside a menu called "Intrusion Detection")
On the SPI Anti-Dos page you should find a list of options that you can set.
Among these should be the option to change the number of simultaneous connections. On my router it is called "Maximum incomplete TCP/UDP sessions number from same host". It will probably be set to 10. Raise this to 20 and then click OK, Save, Confirm or whatever your router's menu asks for, to confirm and save the new setting.
That's it! Done and dusted. This has not only fixed the problem on my browser but it has given a real and noticeable boost to all my browsing.
So let's hope the earth moves for you too ..... ;o))
... and a huge vote of thanks to lepkitty for pointing me at this.

Quick Time Hijacks Windows File Associations Only From Web Browsers
It took me 6 hours this morning to conclusively prove that Quick Time (latest version) isn’t playing well with web browsers on my Windows XP Pro (SP3) machine (nothing new here I guess).
I develop web sites which get their content from local hard or DVD/CD drives (as opposed to from the internet). All my Windows file associations for audio/video file types point to Windows Media Player (WMP) so that when one of my web pages looks for a file type of say .mpg or .mp3, WMP is opened and the file is played. Pretty straight forward and has worked fine for years.
Some time in the last few months (and I now strongly suspect after a Quick Time update) my browsers (all of them….. IE, Firefox, and Chrome) started opening Quick Time instead of WMP when my HTML goes to open any media file type. I’ve checked my Windows file associations which all still point to WMP. I also note that when I open one of my media files from a file utility such as Windows Explorer or my aftermarket file utility (as opposed to from a browser), they correctly open in WMP. So…….. its only from browsers that QT hijacks my intended media player.
In Internet Explorer I’ve gone to “Manage Add-Ons” and “disabled” Quick Time. This in fact causes QT not to be opened but instead a blank web page appears containing only the browser’s little error box with a big red X in it which usually means a picture file is missing…… WMP is not launched even though it is enabled in Manage Add-Ons and QT is disabled.
The only way I’ve found to fix this problem is to uninstall Quick Time in which case everything works fine. (My objection to Quick Time as my default media player is that even the latest version doesn’t reliably play video created for Windows file types.)
Can anyone tell me how to make Quick Time co-exist on my computer without hijacking my attempts to get at WMP from browsers?
The only reason Quick Time has existed on my computer in recent years is so I have access to iTunes. I’ve uninstalled both Quick Time and iTunes till I find a solution to this problem which means iTunes isn’t selling me anything in the mean time.I'm having the same issue that Quicktime hijacks file associations.
I recently reinstalled my copy of Windows 7 64-bit and have installed basically hardly anything on it. I have however installed iTunes (+Quicktime) for my iPhone and Winamp (and not even loaded Windows Media Player).
Basically when I uninstall Quicktime, I can just type an url in the IE8 address bar with the .mp3 extension and download and save the file there and then. Only after installing Quicktime the browser will open the .mp3 in the window and play it embedded with the Quicktime player.
This is something I do NOT want, and I am really ****** off that Quicktime just takes over this feature without asking me first!!
That being besides the point really because I also cannot find the option in Quicktime's settings to undo this!!
When I go to Quicktime's settings -> Browser -> MIME types
It just shows that .mp3 is linked to Winamp (like I want it to be), but it still opens as a Quicktime Control Object.
Reinstalling IE8, resetting its settings, disabling the iTunes & Quicktime addons, even removing the Quicktime Control Object class from the registry... Nothing worked!

Before I install Firefox 4, I have been use Firefox 3.6 and when I was checking my yahoo mail, there was not any problem to view or download file attachment.
After installing Firefox 4, when I receive a new mail with file attachment, like as video, or document, I can not see the attachment to download it. but with other web browsers like IE, I can see the attachment of the email.Hi!
People using a Trend Micro virus scanner should disable some webmail function. You can find the solution [http://en.kioskea.net/forum/affich-33677-can-t-download-attachments-on-my-yahoo-email here]
I do not use Trend Micro, but have the same issues. I just found my "AdBlock Plus" add-on was stopping the attachment download. What you should do to see if this is your problem too: disable AdBlock Plus, restart firefox and see if your problem is solved. Now enable AdBlock Plus again and restart Firefox.
To fix this problem: In Firefox, click on Add-ons, go to AdBlock Plus, go to Options, click on Filters--> reset statistics. Go to your attachment, click on the attachment (it will fail to download of course). Go back to AdBlock Plus and sort the statistics for "Hits". Now you can see which filter is blocking your attachment download. Disable this filter and you problem is solved!

Using Color profiles and exporting for web browsers
I've been trying to figure out the answer to this question. As I'm sure you're aware Safari supports color profiles while other web browsers like Firefox do not. I would like to setup Aperture so that it displays and exports images for the widest audience possible. Unfortunately it embeds a color profile and my images on the web only display correctly in Safari. I've tried changing the proofing profiles and export settings to no avail. I didn't seem to have this problem in iPhoto, a picture there looked the same on screen as it did in Safari and Firefox but I can't achieve the same with Aperture...
Thanks for that information, unfortunately I'm not really any closer to solving the issue since I've already tried that. 1) by default, doesn't Aperture automatically embed the sRGB color profile? 2) if I set view>proofing mode to sRGB shouldn't what I see on screen match what a "dumb" application such as Firefox does when it ignores the embedded profile and display sRGB? I've tried going into the preferences>export settings and changed everything to sRGB IEC61966-2.1 but I see no difference in the final image between that and the default setting.
I guess my question is more specific to Aperture since I don't have this problem with other applications. For example, in photoshop if I do Export for Web it strips out any embedded profile and when I open that image in Firefox and Safari side-by-side they are exactly the same. But not so when I export an image from Aperture, when opened in Firefox it is desaturated and flat and of course in Safari it honors the embedded profile and looks fine. -
Font is italicized, but only in web browsers
Hi everyone,
I have a strange problem. I've started work with a new inherited workstation, and my font is italicized, but only in web browsers. And I *think* only on text that has default styling. E.g., forms, textareas, Google search results, and other unstyled text.
Is there a system-wide setting that changes web browser text styling, or have I inherited a bizarre workstation?One thing to check if it's only in the Browser, like Safari>Preferences>Advanced, does it have a custom css set there...
