If a power cycle of the TC works then the issue is simply Lion.. and there is as yet no fix.. and may never be..
Apple do not seem to acknowledge the issue but plenty of people have it.. It doesn't happen with SL.. one very good reason to not bother with Lion.. Maybe ML will fix it.. without Apple having to ever admit an issue.
In the meantime, if possible downgrade TC to 7.5.2 .. it has less issues than 7.6 or later.
Reset the TC and change all names, TC and wireless names, to short, no spaces, no special characters.
If it is the main router, set the dhcp lease to a short time.. 10min I recommend.
The above will probably not fix the issue.. but it might go a bit longer before a reboot is needed.. going back to SL would fix it.

In Mac OS X v10.7, the $HOME/Library folder is a hidden folder.
Open Finder and use one of these:
* Go > Go To Folder (Shift-Command-G) and in the dialog type: ~/Library
* Open the "Go" menu and hold down the Option key to make the Library appear
You can also use this command in a Terminal window to remove the hidden flag.
* Mac HD > Applications > Utilities > Terminal
* chflags nohidden ~/Library

Why do I get this message when logging onto itunes "File Ituneslibrary cannot be read because it was created by a newer versiion of itunes

Why do I this message when trying to open itunes on my desktop computer "File itunes cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes" How do I overcome this?

Hello johnc1936,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like we may need to recreate your iTunes Library.itl file. The following article outlines how to do so:

Could not initialize the application's security component. The most likely cause is problems with files in your application's profile directory. Please ck that this directory has no read/write restrictions and your hard disk is not full or close to full.

This is an Alert when I open the browser. It isn't functioning at all. I've cleared ample space on my C drive, but I cannot find the application's profile directory to check the read/write restrictions.

I get this message when I start up mozzila firefox

A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete.

That appears to be a problem with a Kaspersky add-on for Firefox. A check on the Kaspersky forums recommended uninstalling and re-installing Kaspersky.
You can also try disabling the Kaspersky extension in Firefox to see if it helps. In the Tools menu select Add-ons. Go to the Extensions section, click on the Kaspersky extension in the list, then click on Disable. If the proiblem goes away when you restart Firefox it will confirm that this add-on is causing the problem.

IGet this message when I start firefox, TypeError: Components.classes[cid] is undefined

upgraded firefox a couple of days ago now i get this error message, and the upgrade file starts to download again.
message ; TypeError: Components.classes[cid] is undefined

This type of error is usually caused by an add-on you've installed. It could be anything from an antivirus link scanner like AVG Safe Search, or McAfee Site Advisor, or something similar.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it functions properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.

I keep getting this message when I open Firefox - "uninstal set", can't do anyting with out it popping up continuously.

The problem is specific to Firefox as i can do anything in any other program without it only when i open firefox. Tried re-downloading the program and still happens

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

I get this message everytime I start Firefox..."We noticed you may have signed in or signed out in another window. Click OK to reload your page." How do I get rid of this?

Every time I'm finished with the internet, I close/exit out of Firefox, but every time I sign into Firefox, I get that annoying message telling me I have signed in or out of another message. What causes this and HOW DO I GET RID OF IT?
Thank you for any help.
I have contacted ATT DSL service, and they told me it must be my browser.
