I cant use any site's search bar

today i went to go on youtube and realized that i cant type in the search bar. i tried another site and it was the same. my norton safe search bar is unusable aswell. i went into internet explorer and had no problems so it has to be firefox.

Is that the search bar on the Navigation Toolbar or a search embedded on web pages?
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] 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.

Cant use any search engines bing , google,as soon I type a search Firefox 4 hangs

my firefox4 hangs as soon I try to load an search engines, Bling or google,cant copy URL as all freezes

I just upgraded to FF4 and I also find it hangs when I use any of the search engines. The Task Manager shows Firefox is grabbing more and more memory and is showing the "not responding" message. In Firefox the cursor wheel just spins and spins.
I restarted FF using the "without add-ons" option and everything worked fine!
How do I find out what add-ons I have installed? Presumably one of them is causing a problem.

Why does using Google in the search bar (and only Google) not let me open search results in the same tab?

Hello,
When I use Google in the search bar, I have to open the search results in a new tab. If I simply click on them to open in the current tab, I'm inevitably redirected right back to the main Google site. This has only started happening in the past month or two -- I'm considering switching to Chrome after 5 years with Firefox because of this. Please help! It's incredibly frustrating to consistently have to remind myself to open all search results in a new tab. It's quite a waste of time over the course of a day.
Here are the basic steps:
1) I do a search using Google in the search bar.
2) As is supposed to happen, the search returns results in the current tab.
3) When I click on a result link, I'm immediately sent back to www.google.com.
4) If I hit back to try to return to the search results, I'm taken to the page that was loaded BEFORE I even did the search.
5) If, and only if, I instead right-click or Mouse3 click on the search results and open them in a new tab, I can successfully go to the search result pages.
--Thank you

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs. 
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. 
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

Re: after update 4.3.5 i am facing touch sensitivity problem the iphone 4 is acting funnily... corner of the screen is not responding at all i cant use any apps, letters, numbers at the corner of the screen

Recently i have updated my iphone 4 to latest 4.3.5 update using itunes... from the time i have updated... i am facing problems... like touch sensitivity... like cant attend the call at one swipe... cant use any applications at the corner of the screen... some times i touch message icon... it moves to next page... some times in the applications without touching the screen in the app the features get activated... is it the problem with the software update or my iphone is having any problem with screen...
please let me know what should i do...

Do the basic troubleshooting steps described in the User Guide, Appendix B:
Restart phone
Reset phone
Restore in iTunes using a backup
Restore as a new iPhone, without using a backup.
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPhone_iOS4_User_Guide.pdf
Also, remove any screen protector.
If none of the above works, there is a hardware problem that needs evaluation by Apple or whoever provides iPhone warranty service in your country.

I uploaded all my apps and now it tells me that i dont have enough space and i cant use any of my apps please help me what should i do

please help me i uplaoded all my apps and now it tell me that i dont have enough space and i cant use any of my apps please help me.

Is the message saying:
Not enough storage
Not enough/low memory?
For the former delete some items from the iPod.
For the latter.double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory.

Firefox stops responding for about 30 seconds after hitting Enter on any website's search bar, even the built in Google search or when signing into Facebook.

As the title says, I run Firefox Beta 6 and just reinstalled Windows 7 Professional on my system due to seriously messed up Windows update, and when I downloaded and installed Firefox, I noticed every time I searched using the Google search next to the URL bar, FF would freeze for about 30 seconds to a minute, with nothing running in the background and no other programs running. I also disabled all Add-Ons and it still continues to act up, so that leads me to believe it's a FF issue, but even on every other website when using the search bar as soon as I hit enter, it locks up and stops responding then goes back to normal about 30 secs later, or if I sign into Facebook it does the same, and even when I had the FF 5 Beta before I had to reinstall I never had a problem.

I managed to solve this problem as my computer has been giving me problems lately and completely froze on me the other day thanks to Game Booster Beta 3 and completely screwed with Windows 7 to the point I almost had to reinstall again, but I managed to fix all my problems and if you would just follow my link here over to my post on Seven Forums then it would be easier then explaining it again.
http://www.sevenforums.com/system-security/180714-windows-7-professional-64-bit-logs-but-almost-frozen-3.html#post1550277 The reason for this is if you shut down your computer while running Firefox, it's possible you corrupted your User Profile for FF and if you follow my instructions you can repair it instead of making a new, so just follow the link, read my post and if you have anymore problems just message me on Seven Forums. Have a nice day and hopefully you get it all fixed. :b

Can apple unlock my iphone? i bought iphone in japan and i cant use any sim.

please help me make use of my iphone 4 16gb. i cannot use any simcard, its like i bought an expensive ipod touch.. please help...

No. Apple can not. ONLY the carrier can authorize unlocking. Not all do. All iPhones sold in Japan are permanently locked to Softbank. You can not get it legitimately unlocked.
Sell it and purchase an unlocked phone from a country where they are legitimately sold.

HELP! I cant use any of my disc drives...

Being a hardcore PC user for years I eventually saw the light and bought a MAC.
To date I have tested my music apps successfully and installed a few freebies and I even have all my music in iTunes. The problem I am now faced with is with my internal and external disc drives. For some reason whenever I insert a disc internally,it ejects the disc. If I try and insert it into my external Freecom drive it cannot read any discs I attempt to burn to or read. What could be causing this?
It's not been such a happy affair to date and I only hope it gets better. Having parked my iMac for long enough to see my extended support expire, I find myself hunting and searching for clues.
Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer on this..
Regards, Michael

I cant access icloud, my email address has changed recently and I cant use any emails and passwords or set up a new id, cant get hold of apple support for help, very frustrated!

I can not access icloud, my email address changed a while ago none of my email addresses and passwords work, I have tried to get a new password but that dosent work!, tried to contact apple support, no luck there either! What can I do?

If you are trying to change the iCloud ID ("email address") you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted. If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

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.

Since updating to 4.3.2 i cant use any Apple related apps, Mail, Safari Itunes even the app store crashes.... please help I rely on my phone!

After installing 4.3.2 Safari, Mail, Itunes and App Store crashes on launch, I have restored and reinstalled but it still isn't working... My phone is like my right arm! I need it working soon!!! Heeeeelp!

When you restored did you restore from a backup or from a fresh install?
Sometimes when you restore from a backup you will get corrupt files that will continue to show up as long as you are restoring from that back up.

Numeric keypad starts page search I cant use googleplugin VOIP

I am using Zorin OS with firefox - added Google 'call phone' - now, when I go to use the phone a search bar pops up at the bottom of my page and I can no longer continue dialling a number.... where should I start looking for a fix? Is this Zorin or Firefox ? My previous setup was Ubuntu with FF and it worked just fine - but dumped Ubuntu because of a 'disk full' glitch. Is there a way to turn off the "search" unless the Ctrl is used? I have multiple numeric codes I enter at work daily, if I cant free hand the numbers in it takes FOREVER to mouse click them in please help!

I couldn't wait, sorry.... installed chrome and it works fine now... but another PC is having issues that the plugin is asking to be downloaded even though I've BEEN using it and thats Win7 so will point to the plugin as the issue.
Thanks for your input! :)
