I close out Firefox and a sign still comes up saying it's open and won't let me open anything else. In task manager it is not open even when the sign says so.
The task manager does not show that a Firefox window is open but it will not let me do anything more until I shut down my computer. It's a real hassle to have to do that so often and wait for everything to load again and again
Hi,
This may mean the Task Manager is "lying" and could indicate a OS malware issue. These dedicated security forums would be helpful:

Re: Quicken 2007; Mac OS 10.5
Problem: can’t import or download Qif format files into quicken from bofa or Chase. Mac can’t recognize; how do I set preferences in Firefox (or Safari).
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/new?product=desktop&category=d1&search=Firefox+for+Mac+preferences+shows+.qif+file+format+for+quicken+as+%22quicktime+image+format%22-wrong+application+and+won%27t+let+me+select+anything+else&showform=1
Hello,
I previously used Firefox on my old Mac G4 with OS 10.3.9; the above issue existed with that system and Firefox 2.00.2 (or similar). I then "tried" to move to a G5 Mac with OS 10.5, hoping that an updated Mac Operating system and updating Firefox would solve that problem.
I'm now working on my son's MacBook Pro, OS 10.5.8, 2.4 ghz Intel Core 2 Duo; 2gb Memory; 2 gb 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM.
I still have a problem in Firefox Preferences trying to download .qif files. BofA Mortgage accounts only allow downloading of .qif files. My .qfx download works fine, but the error message is as follows:
The error message is that this is a corrupted file or one that Preview doesn't recognize.
and it is still a problem when trying to download Quicken .qif format files for our B of A mortgage.
The preferences for Firefox under File Helpers won't let me name the extension I want; instead, it CONFUSES .qif (Quicken Interchange Format) with .qtif (Quicktime Image Format) for Mac.
Therefore, when I download .qif files and try to import them to Quicken, I get a message that this is a corrupted file:
thanks for any help.
Val in SeattleWell, in the end, I just gave up and deleted the photos, in the hope that it was something to do with them. Took some more photos and they seem to have imported without any problems at all.
Given that the same irksome photos loaded on the wife's macbook without so much as a murmur, how weird is that?
Still- all's well that ends well. Thanks for the suggestions- much appreciated.

In the middle of the ipad a box says (icloud backup) This ipad hasn't been backed up in 2 weeks. Backups happen when this ipad is plugged in, locked, and connected to Wi-Fi. It is frozen. It won't let me do anything. You can see the apps behind the box. help what do I do?
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Tried updating my daughters iPod touch and it just turned off. It now has a picture of a white lead and says iTunes. I don't have a computer to connect it to and just want it back to normal as it will not do anything. Can anyone help me?
You need to
Connect the iPod to a computer with iTunes and an internet connection and restore via iTunes
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -
I mistakenly added feed burner. I thought i was setting up to add blogs etc. that i was already subscribed to. Now it keeps asking me to "set your feed" and because of the drop down window asking for this it will let me do nothing else. I had to ask for this help in safari because firefox will do nothing now.

MacBook pro will not charge even when the charger is plugged in and working
So this is a strange one.
I have been using my MacBook pro for a lot of film editing and motion graphics. Recently, I noticed that my battery kept going down, even when charging. I thought nothing on it and kept using it. After around 4 hours, the battery went from 90% to 23% WHILE plugged in. This got me nervous. When I plug in the MagSafe charger, the light comes on and I get the "charging" symbol in my toolbar. The light turns orange and then, after a few minutes, the power starts to go down instead of up.
I have had this laptop since Christmas 2012 and this has never happened before. The laptop does charge, but only when I am running no application, when the screen is shut or when the laptop is powered off. Bear in mind that right now, I am on Firefox, that is the only application open, yet the charge is still going down. I assumed it was because I was using Premiere CS6, After Effects CS6 and Cinema4D, but now even when they are not open, the batter will not charge when I am using the laptop.
What is going on? Is in the charger? Any help would be greatly appreciated and I am starting to stress!
Thank you everyone for reading,
-Rory Campbell
UPDATE: I am currently only running Firefox and Finder. Now the laptop is charging as usual. However the second I open up Premiere, After Effects etc, it goes down. I have no idea what is going on!Try resetting the PRAM and SMC. If you don't know how to, don't worry. They're very easy to reset. Just google how to do it. If that doesn't work, the only thing I would suggest is to take both the laptop and the charger to your local genius bar to have them examined. If it's less than a year old, apple should replace whatever is wrong with it as long as it was a factory defect.

Hdmi cable sound wont come out even when the settings say that the sound is coming from tv
Macbook pro, new last August.
The weird part about this is that it worked about an hour before this happened and then I unplugged it and it stopped. The HDMI cable is plugged into the side of the laptop and the screen duplicator works fine but the sound doesn't come out. When I go to my settings, the sound is selected for the tv but nothing is coming out... the volume is up on the tv.i have managed to fix this issue in a way that im not even sure how..

Adobe Flashplayer not responding even after the download says the installation is complete
I have tried to go on several websites and view content - Youtube, Slacker, and some websites that I need for educational purposes. When I try to view contact or upload a song, I get a message stating that I need the latest version of the Adobe Flash Player to do so. I have been through this process several times today, but each time that I download the Adobe Flash Player, it tells me that the installation is complete; however, I am still unable to view content or listen to the songs. I have restarted my computer several times and that hasn't worked. I can see that the Flashplay is listed on my add or remove programs in the control panel, but it is not responding when I enter into these websites. I have called technical support a couple of times today with no resolution to my problem. PLEASE HELP!!!! What can I do? Thanks
Hi td, So glad that worked for you. That is always the first thing to look for as the SWO must be there and be the correct version, it is an absolute! Without that, FP will not work and you can take that to the bank:-) A lot of users get in trouble by trying every suggestion and dig a deeper hole and then it takes a lot of time and effort to recover.
The process of a successful uninstall of the old FP and the install of the latest version, if followed is really easy. Most problems occur because some steps aren't followed.
Adobe has the next FP update in Beta now, when it will come out I don't know, but post back if you like if you have any questions at that time. Preventive action is always easier than the cure, believe me. But with yours it appears you did a
good job of installing the FP update.
Thanks for marking this thread answered, it helps those looking for similar issues.
