I close FF and when I go to reopen it later it says it is running and I need to rerstart the system, if I Ctrl/Alt?del it is not shown as being open.

Firefox is not closing when I click on the X to close it, it seems to stay running in the background. So when I try to open it later I get a mesdsage that says FF is running, but is not showing up on my list of open programs. Windows XP. The only way to get FF to open again is to restart the computer.

I close Firefox then when I try to reopen it later it tells me its still running and I should close that before opening it again... But its NOT running in a way where I can close it!?! What should I do?

I am using Firefox in a Windows 7 64-bit environment. I have what I feel is a fairly standard set of programs installed. MS Office, Adobe Photoshop, Nero Burning ROM, Diskeeper... etc. And I have the latest regular version of Firefox installed, version 3.6.13.
And lately 2, out of 3, times I close Firefox it must not be closing correctly. But I cannot tell until I need to reopen it. Then I get an error message saying that it's already running and I should close the "current instance" of the software. Now I can either start up the task manager and kill it ... or I can restart my computer. And I've done both. But it keeps happening.
So I am wondering what might be causing this to happen? And If there is anything I can do to correct the issue?

Got a new car and when I plug in my older shuffle it says to check firmware. How do you update the firmware?

Got a new car and when i plug in my older shuffle it ask me to check the firmware. What do I need to do?

It's possible that your new car audio system is not compatible with your older shuffle, or it may not be compatible with shuffles, period. You should consult the documentation for the car audio system (or its tech support) to check the list of compatible devices.
There is no firmware upgrade for an old shuffle with will make it work, if the car audio system does not support the device.
NOTE: As an alternative, you can buy an inexpensive USB flash drive. Maybe you already have one. Load it with your favorite songs. Here's one that barely sticks out of the USB port

with several times the storage capacity of a shuffle. No dangling cable and more resistant to extreme heat/cold, and you can leave it connected to your car audio system.

I restored my ipod and when i try to see my pics, it says they're downloading and its been 5 hours and it wont come off. help??

I have a 4th gen white iTouch and I use iMessage alot. Sometimes the messages on there won't send and I don't know why. Today I clicked on
"Reset All Settings", because last time I did that, the iMessage started working again. But today it locked me out on the startup screen that shows when you first get the iPod. When I came home, I decided to just restore it to the original settings so I connected it to my laptop and did that. Everything went good except that when I go into "Photos", not all of them show up, and it says it "Dowloading 74 of 136". It has been saying that for the past three hours and I had to delete all my photos and it still won't stop saying that. and right now, iMessage isn't working again. I also deleted my account on iCloud because it just messed my iPod up even more. How exactly does iCloud work? And please, in simple terms.

Firefox browser will not close, even when using ctrl/alt/del

I downloaded the 4.0 beta firefox today, and have been using it most of the day with good success. Then I noticed when I closed the browser, the icon stayed active on my task bar. I clicked the icon and the browser reappeared on my screen. I tried several times to close it, the last time using ctrl/alt/del and task manager to cancel it. Nothing worked. I have a Dell Studio 1749 with Windows 7 , 64 bit, which may be the sorriest OS since Windows Millennium. Any help I can get would be greatly appreciated.

Isn't it {Shift+Ctrl+ESC} to open the Task Manager in Win7?? I know it was changed to that key combination in Vista.
As far as the problem with Firefox 4.0 not properly closing, see this: <br />

Firefox 9.0.1 keeps hanging once I access a website with video, when I write e-mails etc. If a press ctrl+alt+del, opens a window to confirm closing, and firefox works again. When I close that confirm window, firefox immediately hangs again.

It stops working if I access websites with videos, and all sort of more complex flash. It I try to write an e-mail, it also stops. I can't do anything. PC keeps working, though. So I press ctrl+alt+del. It opens that window asking if you want to close all the tabs. I notice that firefox start to work again, behind that window. But, once I close the window, it stops again. Sometimes I can close the tab with the video before it hangs again, which can take a few ctr+alt+del's. It doesn't happen with other browsers! It started 1 week ago. Is it an extension? Or a virus (i use avast)? Thank you!

Well, I rebuilt the entire workbook... that was a few months ago and so far, the problem hasn't resurfaced. It really wasn't fun to do, but whatever glitch there was in the file, I eliminated it.
I think I should mention that I am using Office v.X, NOT Office 2004. I got a new Intel iMac this week and yesterday when I opened up my files, it opened up the test drive (a JOKE of a program if you ask me) Anyway, some of the very minor issues I had with Office v.X were solved in the 2004 version. (When opening up large multi worksheet files without Excel being already opened, the tabs have white text) Anyway, I am still going to wait for the universal version to come out, but it seems that the newer versions may have fewer glitches (as is to be expected)
At any rate, best of luck to you!

Maybe:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

I have Lightroom 4 and a new 70D camera and when I try to important my photos Lightroom says it doesn't recognize my CR2 files. I have downloaded plugin for the camera, but it still doesn't work. Can you help?

I have Lightroom 4 and a new 70D camera and when I try to important my photos Lightroom says it doesn't recognize my CR2 files. Can someone help? I have downloaded 8.3 from Adobe, but still doesn't work?

Lightroom doesn't use the Camera Raw plug-in. All of the Camera Raw technology is part of the Lightroom program. You will either have to upgrade to Lightroom 5 or use the DNG converter to create digital negative copies that can be used with Lightroom 4.

I close FF and when I go to reopen it later it says it is running and I need to rerstart the system, if I Ctrl/Alt?del it is not shown as being open.
