I am unable to type emails after updating. What I type does not resemble what I see. The mouse has a mind of it's own, and scrambles the words I type..

Firefox crashes a few times every night (it crashed instantly when I updated tonight!) That is not a huge problem, but this is. The last time I updated I had problems typing emails.
I begin to type an address or subject and the text is highlighted and scrambles instantly. I have never had this problem before. The browser tag seems to "flash" too...
I reboot the machine (using a mac laptop) which seems to help a little, but this is both infuriating and time consuming.

You can do a check for corrupted and duplicate fonts and other font issues:
*http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/multipleappsquit.html - Font Book 2.0 Help: Checking for damaged fonts
*http://www.creativetechs.com/iq/garbled_fonts_troubleshooting_guide.html
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.

    after installing lion, time machine does not always back up.  The back up disk is occasionally not recognized.  Help!

    This is easy one.. for most.. just restart the TC.. ie pull out the power.. count to 10.. plug in the power.
    If the simple doesn't work you can see more info here.

  • Mac OS X 10.5: Unable to log in after an upgrade install fix does not work?

    Hello:
    After running Software Update, I am unable to log in.
    I found the following support article:
    Mac OS X 10.5: Unable to log in after an upgrade install
    Article: TS1543
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1543?viewlocale=en_US
    However, upon step 8 of the instructions, the following error appears:
    delete Invalid Path
    <dscl_cmd> DS Error: -14009 (eUnknownNodeName)
    This is actually after an update (not an "upgrade"), so I'm not even sure these are the appropriate steps.
    This is the second time that I have been unable to log in after an update. The first time, I attempted to reset the password with the installation DVD; however, this resulted in "No LDAP Master" errors and I installed Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard Server on a second internal drive and configured everything again. After setting everything up on the second install, I was going to reformat the first boot drive. Unfortunately, I'm just back to where I started after running the updates. I'm not sure if having two volumes with Mac OS X Server installed makes a difference in the instructions in the article mentioned above or not.
    Another question: Is resetting the password with the installer DVD the same as using the Single User approach ("launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.DirectoryServices.plist", "ls /Users", then "dscl . -delete /Users/username AuthenticationAuthority")?
    If so, I'll just do that; however, I am hoping that the Single User approach might somehow avoid "No LDAP Master" errors again.
    Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

    Thanks! I think a week would have gone by before I realized this on my own.

  • After update 3.1 - 3G does not work after phone sits idle

    Updated from 3.01 to 3.1 - went smoothly, no problems. Restored my latest backup without issue. All is good. A few minutes later I tried to make a call and it failed. I tried to access the web - failed. Rebooted phone comes up as expected. Made a call, access to web working. 10 minutes later tried to make another call - failed; access to web failed again too. Switched over to Edge, rebooted. Calls and web access work. Waited 10-15 minutes, tried again; Edge still working. Switched back to 3G, rebooted. Same issue - calls/web work initially but after a short time, all calls and web access fail. I went through the 3.1 restore process again -- started over like it was a new phone. Again, the update worked without any issues/errors. I was able to restore my backup and all was good. But, same 3G problems occurred. So just for fun, I ran the Iphone config utility and captured the console log during a phone reboot sequence. After the phone booted up calls and web access were working with 3G. Then, let the phone sit idle for a while and saw these event occur in the log; the first 5 entries were made when I successfully sent a text message. After that message was sent I let the phone sit for a while. The next couple of entries were interesting. After the 'deactivated PDP context' messages appeared I could no longer make calls or access the web with 3G. Anyone else see this?
    I never ever had this problem with 3.01 software.

    I thought I'd post you a quick response because you described exactly the issues I was having. After my phone was idle for a while, my iPhone would refuse to get data over 3G.
    I've tested this thoroughly and I'm able to "trip up" the phone into a state where it can't download data from the 3G network. But turning airline mode on for about 30 seconds then off again resets forces a renegotiate with the cell tower/3g and everything seems to work again about a minute later.
    Nothing untoward listed in the console at this point either - The PDP context that you mentioned that was deactivated was more than likely the Internet Tethering. (It's usually PDP context 1, by the looks of things).
    I think I might switch off 3G and see if that helps until Apple fix this issue. It is related to the wifi issues that others have reported - As I've seen my iPhone unable to download information via 3G if wifi is turned on, but you don't connect to a wifi network. But I can't seem to reproduce this reliably.

  • After updating Adobe Flash, Firefox does not work

    I have Windows Vista.
    I just recently downloaded Firefox and it had that bar at the top of the internet url saying to update Adobe Flash or that the Adobe Flash plug in doesn't work. So I clicked on that and it took me to the Firefox site with the raccoon, with a list of things I might need to update.
    So I updates Adobe Flash to
    ActiveX: 11.4.402.278
    Plug-In Version: 11.4.402.278
    After that Firefox will open to my homepage which is the most visited with thumbnails of websites. But when I choose one, enter a website in the url, or click a favorite it fails to load.
    What do I do now?

    Thank you so much for responding to my question right away! You really helped me out. I've been so swamped in my school work and job I haven't had time to do anything else. Thanks alot for giving me a fast, straight to the point answer :) my problem is solved!

  • App Store says I have apps to update but opening apps does not show any apps in the update tab

    Apps says there are apps to update with the number 4, I go to the App Store nothing shows up on the updates tab.  When I show purchased apps tab all, I see two that need updating and tap the update button and then the apps icon drops to two but still nothing there when opening the app.  Tried shutting off and turning on and did not do anything. 

    There have been numerous reports on the forum today regarding this issue. It seems to be an issue at Apple, but no information has been posted on the status site.

  • After installing Firefox 6 Vimeo does not seem to properly recognise the browser and the Adobe Flash Player.

    I automatically upgraded to Firefox 6. Whenever I try to view a video on Vimeo I either am told that:
    'The video cannot be played with my current setup' and to switch to a browser with native H.246 support or to install the Adobe Flash Player.
    or
    That no mobile version of the video exists.
    I have the Flash player installed and have reinstalled it. I have also reinstalled Firefox 6.

    From what I can tell, the problem is not Silverlight, it is the flash plugin (10.3). I uninstalled and went back to FLASH 10.1 and Netflix, flash videos, flash based applications, etc all worked again on my brand new computer. Very unfortunate and frustrating.

    Hi tania184,
    Have you contacted your email provider to make sure there are no problems on their end? If they say their email servers are working properly, check the outgoing and incoming mail servers entries on your iPhone to make sure both are entered correctly. Enter the outgoing mail server even if the account setup indicates that is optional.
