I cannot compose a message in gmail using either FF4 or FF3.6.17 following formatting my PC and re-installing programs.

Your guess re operating system is correct, problem happens in v4.0, I uninstalled and reinstalled V3.6.17. I have not downloaded any plug-ins at all. Works correctly using MS I Explorer! Is happening in all my gmail accounts (about 5) except one! Have been using FF for years, never seen problem before.
Re-formatted PC yesterday -problem evident today.

Thanks for the reply Chris. Unfortunately after trying your remedy I found the problem still exists.
After selecting the "Compose Mail" button, the message "Loading" appears near the top of the page. Nothing else happens. The "Compose Mail" facility does not appear at all, I have left it on for over an hour and it still is "Loading". Messages can be read, reply's can be made, attachments can be opened and downloaded. The only way to get rid of the "Loading" is to refresh the page. It is also a problem in most of my other gmail accounts (5) excepting my personal gmail. I have compares settings with that account and can find no difference. The problem does not occur in Internet Explorer! The problem first occurred after reformatting my PC and installing FFv4. I was previously using FFv4 for about 2 - 3 weeks previously without a problem. I uninstalled FFv4 and installed FFv3.6.17 hoping to fix the problem - problem still exists exactly the same.
This problem does not occur on my other PC which has been running FFv3.--.-- for many months. I have also compared my internet account settings with those on that PC and can find no differences.
Both PC's are running Windows 7 Home Premium, 4Gb RAM, 1Tb HD, AVG 2011 Free Anti-Virus, the one with the problem has an AMD chip, the other an Intel chip!
Seems very wierd, if you can come up with an explanation I would be grateful as I prefer to use Mozilla FF rather than MS IE.
Thanks, Noel

HT1926 I get a message stating MSVCR80.dll is missing. How to fix? I have removed and re-installed multiple times.

I get a message stating MSVCR80.dll is missing. How to fix? I have removed and re-installed multiple times.

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

Why blank message in gmail, using Firefox

When I open a gmail message, using Firefox as the browser, several times a week the message opens up completely blank. When I opened these same gmail message using Internet Explorer they appear just fine.
What could be causing this? Since it works in IE and not in FF, I'm assuming there is an issue, plug in?? Can you help guide how we can fix this?

Updating my AdBlock filters as suggested in the thread below worked for me.

Cannot get mail message for gmail

Hi
I am having problems with mail where I am receiving this message:
There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “@gmail.com” or try again.
The server returned the error: Mail was unable to log in to the IMAP server “imap.gmail.com” using “Password” authentication. Verify that your account settings are correct.
The server returned the error: Too many simultaneous connections. (Failure)
The password is correct and I can log on to gmail directly and not have any problems.
I also have another email account for a business from a seperate server that never has any problems so I know that it is not an internet connectivity problem.
Does anyone know how I resolve this issue?
Thanks in advance

Hi PrimalKitty,
You may get this error message if you are accessing your Gmail account from multiple devices, even if your settings are configured correctly. You may find the following article helpful:

Problems with composing a message with Gmail in RTL mode

It happens in RTL mode when you mix Hebrew text with numbers or with English text.
It happens only in Firefox. No problem with Chrome or IE browsers for example.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Type some Hebrew text without hitting the "enter" key. like שנה טובה
Gmail correctly identifies the text as being from an RTL language and aligns it to the right (RTL mode)
2. At the end of the Hebrew text type some English text (or some numbers ). Happy new year January 2015
So you end up with a line with "Happy new year January 2015 שנה טובה"
3. Start clicking the Backspace key. After a 3-6 clicks the backspace is not responding. (same bad behavior with the right and left navigation keys).
Tested in a new/fresh profile.
Also tried it with a different gmail account and got same problems.
Firefox 34
Win 7 x64

You can try to experiment with these two prefs on the about:config page;

I cannot connect my external hard drives (1 WD My Passport and 1 LaCie Porsche Design). The drives were connected and worked perfect, the WD is used as a Time Capsule, the LaCie is formatted as exFAT and used for miscellaneous. They are both USB 3.0

I cannot connect my external hard drives any longer. I have one WD "My Passport" used as a Time Capsule and one LaCie Porsche Design used for all different kind of data, formatted in exFAT. They worked fine, connected direct or through an additional USB hub or also attached to a Dell monitor. The Lacie helds my iTunes Library and the iPhoto library.
After I moved the iTunes library to the external drive, from time to time the drive went into a never ending loop and I had to shut down the laptop (MacBook Air).
The last time starting again the drives were not recognized any longer. I tried to connect them to another MacBook, which didn't work.
Starting with Windows 7, the WD is also not recognized at all (perhaps because of time capsule format?) and the LaCie gives an error.
Could anybody tell me if there is a chance to get them alive again? When I connect them now, they start to heat up quite fast without anything else happening.
Thanks

Hi,
Just want to clarify, have you checked to make sure the cords are not damaged (going from hard drive to computer and or any power source )?
You have also check to make sure that usb ports are working correctly?
If you have checked these things it may be that the external drives have failed.
I would google the error message from the LaCie drive before I do anything.
There are several ways that I know of, one is to put the hard drive in the freezer for a while (make sure you wrap it air tight) if this works it is not a permenint fix. You might be able to transfer information to another source.
The other method is to plug the hard drive into a hard drive connector a product like this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817707192
to do this you would have to remove the hard drive from its enclosure and still this is not a guarantee it will work.
The finally way I know is using a recovery service. This can be rather expensive, and there are no guarantees

My Firefox won't quit and gives a "not responding" message after I use Google Mail. I have tried starting in "safe" mode and the problem still occurs.

I have an issue where Firefox wont' quit and gives a "not responding" message after I have been using Google Mail. It works fine when I am not using that program. I have tried Safe Mode and the problem still happens when I go to Google Mail, so it is not connected with add-ons, extensions, etc.

I have Lightroom 5 installed on my MacBook Air but when I try to open the program I receive the message "An error occurred when attempting to change modules". I uninstalled, emptied trash and re-installed but I continue to get the same message.

I have Lightroom 5 installed on my iMac which I downloaded (uploaded?) to my MacBook Air (via wi-fi) but unlike the iMac, I'm unable to use the program on the MacBook Air. When I open the program on the iMac and click 'file', (as people using the program would know) there are 21 options - import pics, export, etc, etc - however, in the version on the MacBook Air, opening 'file' gives me four options - New Catalogue, Open Catalogue, Page Setup and Printer - and with that comes the pop-up message "An error occurred when attempting to change modules". Any ideas please?

A forum thread from 3 years ago talking about LR 1.x which had this problem seems to need permissions fixed or new folders created with the corrected permissions. You might try doing a repair permissions for your user and/or run LR as an administrator user. I am a PC person so cannot tell you exactly how to do that.

Did check the pref dom.storage.enabled and make sure that the value is true?

Cannot receive text messages after switch from iphone

After more than 2 years on an Android, my family convinced me to try an iPhone. After one week, I decided to return my iPhone and go back to Android. Now I cannot receive text messages from anyone using an iPhone. It thinks I'm still using iMessage.
I have already talked with Verizon customer service and unregistered my number from both Messages and FaceTime via my computer. Please help! This is extremely frustrating!

Appreciate the update plurrykid,
Knowing you are starting to receive them is good, but certainly we want you to receive all of them, not just random ones. I know it’s important to get them up and running as soon as possible. It will usually take Apple 24-48 hours to un-register you completely; if it has not been fully done, what you can try is resetting your Apple ID password here http://bit.ly/1kwc2va . Since you will be changing your password and the original device which still has iMessages on, will not be aware of the new password for them, it will revert to text messages. Let us know how it goes.

Moving mac mail messages to gmail through imap

Newbie question so be gentle
Looking to move my Mac Mail to Gmail through IMAP - this is to ensure I can access my mail from any machine whilst I'm on the road working plus if my hard drive dies (which it did a year ago) I won't loose any messages/folders.
Currently have a couple of email addresses coming straight into Mac Mail and have numerous folders set up. Want to know if I link the Mac Mail to my Gmail account using IMAP will all my messages plus folders simply sync online with no issues? Will the folders remain intact (I understand Gmail uses 'labels' as folders)?
Looking forward to hearing from you and thanks in advance for your time.
Peace
DK

you can configure your gmail account as an imap account in mac mail. Then you can drag and drop either way between the 2 accounts. Once you have done that when you login to gmail webmail the mail will have been added there.
If you want to configure gmail webmail to recieve mail from a different mail account other than your gmail then you need to goto the gmail website for answers as this is not related to apple.

I cannot compose a message in gmail using either FF4 or FF3.6.17 following formatting my PC and re-installing programs.
