I cannot access the internet using firefox. The little toolbar identical (the far upper right in the screen) pops up and nothing else happerns. This has only started very recently and I have not had this problem in the past.

When I click on the icon for firefox, a little toolbar (the one you see in the top right corner of the screen) pops up and nothing else happens. I'll close it out and retry, with only the same results. I tried Firefox safemode, with the same result. Like there is something blocking me, but I don't know what. It doesn't matter if I've been on the computer for some time or just started up, I cannot access the web thru Firefox. This has only started in the last couple days. Previously, I've never had this problem. I haven't loaded any new programs anytime recently to account for this. I use Norton for my anti virus program which is the newest and had since end of December. I am not happy having to use the windows internet explorer, so would be very happy to get this resolved. Should I uninstall the mozilla program, and then reinstall it?

"I have an ethernet cable in port 1 on my computer. That is configured manually to access ther office network."
Do you have a "real" IP address or a private (192.168.x.x, 10.x.x.x, 172.x.x.x) IP address?
"The wireless router was connected to the company server only for the purpose of getting me online through Airport because I couldn't access it using an ethernet connection"
Could not access it because their network security blocked you by intent, or had some unknown technical difficulty?
Unless you are blocked by intent or ommission (if they have to explicitly allow your machine) I can think of no technical reason why your wired connection should not both get you on their network and on the internet in general. You should not need to be dual homed (though dual homing should work as well).
Please answer the questions above when you can - I think solving the wired LAN issue will be easier if you are not being intentionally blocked.

    When I ring someone from my iPhone 4 they can't hear me sometimes and other times they can hear me fine. This has only started happening since I updated to iOS 6 it was perfect the day before.

    Good news! I believe I have fixed my phone!!
    A friend of mine was having the same problem that I was having where you could hear other people but they couldn't hear you.
    We fixed the problem by redownloading the 4.2.1 update. 4th post down on this page: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1052794&page=5 is a list of links to the update files. I downloaded the one for my phone and did a restore (from a backup) after downloading the file and double clicking it so iTunes opens. Since I've done this my phone has been working perfectly again!
    It might take you a few tries, it took my friend 3 tries until his worked right and it worked for me on the first try. I'm guessing something was screwing up during the download.

  • Some sites I pull up in firefox load very small and almost unreadable. I have not had any problem in the past with these exact sites.

    The sites I pull up seem to be half the size of normal. It normally has only been one site, but now it is happening to another site that I use frequently.

  • The back and forward browser buttons are NOT ALWAYS available to use, so once I open a web-site I can not go back to what I was looking at previously. This has only started happening recently?

    The back and forward browser button always works when we first get online, and then over some time it will not work and then will work again (working again is happening less). I have re-started the computer many times to fix the issue.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions 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.

  • My Iphone 4s has started freezing up. I have not had a problem until now

    Are there any fixes for the IPHONE 4s freezing up?

    I am having the same issue and now I had to restore my phone but the big problem is now that the battery is so low I don't think it has enough juice to finish the restore. What the heck is going on?

    It would appear that you are destined for the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum since your question is related to Photoshop Elements and not Premiere Elements which is the focus program where you have posted.
    But, while the arrangements are being made, here are a few things for you to think about if you have not already
    1. Reset Tools - Select Brush Tool, then
    2. Delete Settings File
    Go to Full Editor/Edit Menu/Preferences/General and click on the option "Reset Preferences on Next Launch".
    We will be watching for your progress.
    Thank you.

  • I am getting an error when trying to download  the new Game of Thrones shows. The error is err = -61 You do not have the privilege to make changes. (err = -61) you do not have the privilege  to make changes. I have not had this problem before

    I am getting an error when trying to download  the new Game of Thrones shows. The error is err = -61 You do not have the privilege to make changes. (err = -61) you do not have the privilege  to make changes. I have not had this problem before

    Solution:
    Open Disk Utility.
    Select your external hard disk and run a “verify” on it. After a few minutes (depending on the size of your drive), you should be good to go. You don’t need to run a “repair” on it... (at least I didn’t have to). See photo for reference.
    This should fix the permissions issue, because on my Mac running Mountain Lion I was unable to edit the permissions in the get info dialog window even after "unlocking" the drive.

  • After a recent comcast / xfinity update I have been unable to even connect to the internet using firefox. I can using internet explorer.

    After a recent comcast / xfinity update I have been unable to even connect to the internet using firefox. I can using internet explorer.

    Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, until the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    Restart the router. Many problems are solved that way.
    Step 2
    Change the name of the wireless network, if applicable, to eliminate any characters other than letters and digits. You do that on your router via its web page, if it's not an Apple device, or via AirPort Utility, if it is an Apple device.
    Step 3
    Run the Network Diagnostics assistant.
    Step 4
    Back up all data.
    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    Enter the name of your wireless network in the search box. You should have one or more "AirPort network password" items with that name. Make a note of the name and password, then delete all the items. Quit Keychain Access. Turn Wi-Fi off and then back on. Reconnect to the network.
    Step 5
    You may need to change other settings on the router. See the guidelines linked below:
    Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    Potential sources of interference
    Step 6
    Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.
    Step 7
    Reset the System Management Controller (SMC).

  • I haven't been able to access the internet using Firefox for over a week. What is causing this? Is there an issue with Firefox?

    I can't access the internet using Firefox. My internet connection is working perfectly fine as I can access the internet using internet explorer. I don't feel safe using internet explorer and prefer Firefox. Please help!

    See --> [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Cannot%20connect%20after%20upgrading%20Firefox Cannot connect after upgrading Firefox]
    Your firewall may not recognize the new version of Firefox; it is just doing its job. You may need to remove references to Firefox from your firewall's allowed applications list, then try to go to any website, let your firewall detect the new version of Firefox, and give Firefox the permissions needed by your firewall to access the internet.

  • I have purchased two audiobooks from iTunes. They play perfectly for about 13 minutes and then abruptly stop. I have purchased other audiobooks and have not had a problem. Please, any ideas on why this is happening and what can I do to fix it.  Thanks!

    As long as you use your computer like King Penguin stated for Report a Problem, you should be fine. If you can't get to your computer, are not using your computer, or your computer is not longer in the mix since you have been using your iPad, email iTunes support about the problem.

  • I have not had any problems with iOS 4

    I don't know about you guys, but I have not had any problems yet for the new iOS 4 update on my iPhone 3g. I followed the instructions provided on apple's website on how to download the new update and also downloaded from apple's website the new version of iTunes (9.2). From there I proceeded to update my iPhone the way you normally update. iTunes then backed up my iPhone, restored the original iOS software, installed the new iOS 4 software, reloaded my iPhone with all apps (in their proper spots), no music (i forgot to check sync all for my music tab), all contacts, all calendar updates, all settings, all photos, everything went perfectly fine for me. I do not know why so many people are having problems, but though if I posted up exactly what I did maybe we could compare the methods that did not work and determine the problematic issue at hand.
    The computer i used was a Power Mac G4 with Mac OS X Server V. 10.5.8
    The iPhone that I am using is an iPhone 3G update from 3.1.3 to 4.0
    The iTunes store was the updated 9.2
    I hope we can figure all this out for everyone

    I wouldn't surprise me either, particularly since in my direct experience I know personally of one person who had problems because they thought that the update process had finished when it definitely had not.
    We're left again with mixed emotions:
    1) Delight that the updates to all of our devices worked flawlessly;
    2) Guilt that some others had problems, particularly when some of that 'some' seem to think that everyone has the same problems as themselves;
    3) Isolated because we feel sort of left out having no problems to fix for ourselves and too many of those we try to help only want to blame Apple rather than 'fess up' to their own errors.
    Ho hum....
    Perhaps telling enough people to be patient with all updates might help for the future?

  • TS3274 I have an iPad 1 and have not had any problems until recently and now find I am continually being kicked outnofcwebsites and have to go back into them, why?

    I have an iPad 1 and until recently I have not had any problems. Lately I find I am being kicked out of websites and have to start again. There does not seem to be a problem with my Internet connection as it is okay when using my laptop.

    The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
    Restart... Reset... Restore from Backup...  Restore as New...
    Restart / Reset
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    Backing up, Updating and Restoring
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    Try this First... You will Not Lose Any Data...
    Turn the iPad Off... ( if it isn’t already )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...
    Turn the iPad On...
    If you try all these Steps and you still have issues... Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...
    Be sure to make an appointment first...
