I am now getting unresponsive script that locks up my computer. It takes forever to shut it down. help
I have just started getting this message over the last couple of weeks. Often when I haven't used the computer for a while and I try to, I get this unresponsive script message and I have to do control-alt-delete for about 5 minutes to get everything to shut down. It has never done this before. It first started doing this when I downloaded Mozilla 4.0 Beta. I thought that I had gotten rid of 4.0 Beta and gone back to 3.6. Why can't I stop this? When I tried to reload 3.5, it had me upload 3.6.
Mention of Time Warner, leads me to think you could have AOL as your ISP, I am not sure; but seem to recall years ago AOL seemed to prefer you to use its own modified browser.
There is a possibility the particular site or ISP may be part of your problem. Is your problem specifically that deleting AOL webmail addresses may cause the unresponsive script/hang. The workaround in that case may be to fall back on using IE for that particular task. It may be interesting to know if many other users have a similar problem, it could even be worth starting a thread with that problem as the title. [ or maybe that is already a known problem I have not looked around the board in detail]
Another thought is that if you are intensively deleting bookmarks that may be part of a [[Firefox hangs#w_hang-deleting-bookmarks-folder| known issue]] as per the link in my last post. There is a additional information in : [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_hangs#Hang_deleting_bookmarks_-_Firefox_3] If you are deleting (or presumably moving/copying large chunks also) bookmarks part of the advice is to make changes in small steps.

Still getting "unresponsive script"
I have changed the value of dom.max_script_run_time to 1000 and *still* I get "unresponsive script" notices.
The only time it ever happens is when I am downloading something, and take a moment to create a new folder to hold the new item.
Then, because there are now 2 dialogs wanting a response (the save box, and the 'unresponsive script' box) Firefox locks up and I cannot click either of the buttons.
So then I have to do a Force Quit and reopen Firefox.
Even with a value of 1000 (seconds?) it always interrupts at about the same time as the default value.
All the Firefox KB suggests is that if changing the value doesn't help, then set it back to the original value - while giving no further suggestions as to how to prevent it happening again.I've been using the file picker for years without problem - it's annoying to have that feature whipped out from under me.
What other application is there that won't give you time to create a folder on the fly?
The suggestion to create folders first is a *backwards* step. Sure, it's the only practical answer in the meantime, but I'd already figured that out.
Does no-one have an answer for killing that warning? -

I downloaded the latest version of itunes. I am now getting the message that my ipod is in recovery and needs to be restored. When I click to restore, it says it does not recognize this device. Now my ipod is frozen with an image of a cord and an arrow pointing toward the itunes icon. All was working fine before the download!
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

After moving all photographs from my first catalogue, which was a mess, to a new catalogue, it all worked fine. Until that is I tried to open the new catalogue, which had worked OK all day. I now get a window that says "Unexpected error, select another catalogue."
OK, restart in Safe Mode, this will clear some caches. It's possible one or more is corrupt. To restart in Safe Mode when you hear the start up tone hold down the Shift Key until you see a progress bar. Let it fully boot then restart normally and test.
Also I am assuming you have checked Finder - Preferences - General and see what boxes are checked in "Show these items on desktop." You can also mount an item in Disk Utility, simply highlight it and then look in the File menu for Mount..... -

I purchased a song on this Mac, an authorized computer. I am now getting a message that this computer is not authorized to play the song. When I provide my username and password to authorize my computer, the song is still not authorized. Why?
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases - http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1389. If your country permits re-downloads, delete the file and re-download.

I keep getting "Unresponsive Script" errors in random "jsm" files several times a day. Why?
Several times a day I get "Unresponsive Script" popups as I browse the internet. They're almost always different. Sometimes its in tabbrowser, sometimes it has something to do with a YouTube page I have open, and sometimes it occurs when I try to save a file with the built-in download manager.
I don't know why it does this so often. I don't have many Addons.
I also copied the technical information about my browser to help out if it can identify why these Unresponsive Script Errors keep appearing.Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).<br />
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]<br />
<br />
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.<br />
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.<br />
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")<br /> -

I have updated my Apple ID and password, but am now getting a message that iCloud can't sync. On my iPod Touch, it still is showing up as my old Apple ID/email address.
Thanks! I found an earlier post making reference to deleting the account and then signing back in with the new info -- basically the same idea. Thanks for your help!

Am using Photoshop Cs5 12.0 32 bit.. ma os iz windows 7 ultimate... now I have noticed that ma 3d panel in ma ps is disappeared.. Plz help me.....
I have already uninstalled and reinstalled the applications. When we purchased the new computer it was set up from scratch, but as I said the old user profile was transferred. The original problems of photoshop freezing and the system locking up continued, and so everything was set up again from scratch I believe.
Also, I may have been unclear as to my definition of crashing. It was freezing everything previously, and then two days ago, just the photoshop program started "quitting unexpectedly" on opening, each and every time I tried to use it.
The new user profile worked for the majority of today, but froze the screen during a photoshop distort transform and I was unable to do anything, but switch the machine off at the back and reboot. (this is what was happening prior to me receiving the error report I copied onto the original post). I can only presume it is going down the same route and will be doing the above again once I am using it at full pace again.
The old user profile is still on the computer, and on the new user profile we have not included the Outlook software as we weren't sure whether this may be affecting it, as the problems have become increasing worse since this has been on computer.
Because everything has been ongoing and on two machines, it is starting to become very unclear as to whether it is a hardware, software/ operating system problem, or network issue. The computer has also been configured to run windows bootcamp.
I have been passing on the information as it is coming in, and any more ideas will be gratefully received. I have already been told we can return the original RAM into the computer next week, to see if this helps, and I may try to download CS5 from the Adobe website, rather than using the CD's as it was suggested that this may help??! Either way I am unable to carry out any of my work until this resolved so I am willing to try any solutions!

Thanks. I have followed all the instructions as recommended and nothing has worked so it looks like the restore/update may have been interrupted - would loss of internet connection do this?
Yes it would, possibly even brick it.
Have successfully connected my ipod nano with iTunes so looks like the device driver is working.
Can I use my ipod nano USB connector to check?
It is not much help to you, since the device that you need still not recognized.
Anyway looks like I may have to swallow the loss of data. Have set-up a call for tomorrow with Apple support so will wait until after this before doing the factory restore!
Good luck, but if you expect miracle from that call good luck again.
