My first step would be to get rid of "Norton protection". Boot from your OS 10.6 disc, navigate through your hard drivve and trash anything that is Norton. Empty the trash.
Next, run Disk Utility and ask it to repair the hard drive.

  • The loading bar at the bottom of my browser has disappeared and I want to reinstall or reactivate it. How do I do this please and what is this bar called? I use the lastest version of Firefox 3.6.3 and Windows XP.

    The loading bar at the bottom of my Firefox browser has suddenly disappeared and I want to reinstall or reactivate it. How do I do this please and what is this bar called? I use the latest version of Firefox 3.6.3 and Windows XP. I have many add ons and I usually automatically install the recommended updates. This problem has never happened before and switching my browser on and off again does not solve the issue.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I am not sure why this suddenly happened. I think it may have been after my usual updates but I am not sure if that has anything to do with it at all.

    Loading Bar? Maybe the URL/address bar where you type sites you want to go to (like www.google.com)? See Navigation Bar below. You may also need to see the first item "Can't see the Menu Bar".

  • Hi my iphone 3g is stuck in recovery mode and now has the apple logo with the loading bar at the bottom it wont switch off! what do i need to do to get it back to normal

    hi my iphone is stuck in recovery mode and when i went to swtich the phone off the apple logo came up and the loading bar at the bottom. what do i need to do to get it back to normal.

    If you want to start the Restore Process over then follow these simple steps. Restart computer. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB Cable. Hold both home and power buttons until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. Usually takes about 20 seconds of holding both buttons. Click Restore button of iTunes.

    It is a Mac OS X.
    We still don't know your model--OSX is the operating system, not the hardware model. Please do "About this Mac" from your Apple menu to see a window like this:
    Please tell us what your computer shows for the contents of the two lines I've indicated with red arrows. The processor type will at least tell us to which of the four basic iMac families yours belongs. That's a start and can help you avoid getting advice that is not appropriate to your Mac model.

  • I bought a book through iBooks and was reading it then I put it back in library when I went to read it again it would not open.  What can I do?

    I bought a book from iBooks and was half way through then I returned it to my library.  When I went to my library and tried to open it again it would not open.  What do I do?

    There are a few things that you could try :
    Close the iBooks app completely. From the home screen double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the iBooks app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    You could also try deleting the book and re-downloading it.

    Quit iBooks and restart the iPad and then try the book again.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button.

  • I have loaded and reloaded Reader 9.  I cannot open a pfd document.      I can save it to desk top then open it via a drop down box that has a "open with Adobe Reader 9".  How can I avoid having to do this?

    Hello Michael,
    Thank you for your response.  My operating system is XP.  When I try to open a pfd document I just get a series of letters and symbols in a dialog box.  The top of the box says "select the encoding that makes your document readable".  I can choose Windows, MS-Dos, or other (there is a long list to choose from).  None seem to make a difference.  If I save the document to my desk top I can right click on it and choose an option "Open with  AdobeReader 9" and it opens fine.
    Thank you,

    Hello:
    What operating system does your computer use? What happens when you attempt to open a PDF document rather than saving it first? Please include any/all error messages. Also, have you tried opening documents from other locations or just one in particular?
    Thanks,

    My app is stuck on one page of the ibook I was reading. How do I close the ibook and get back to the main library?

    A number of extensions can cause that problem, you'll need to do a little troubleshooting to find out which extension is causing that to happen for you.

    Thanks again.
    When you log into you icloud account on your computer you are viewing data that you sync to icloud not the backups.  You can't view the backups.
    Look at the two links I provided.

  • HT1040 trying to make an ibook and have 800 photos, want format of 8 photos/page, but default is not that- "create" the initial book from iphoto "album" it loads less than 800 pics and then when i change layout i have blanks.

    trying to make an ibook and have 800 photos, want format of 8 photos/page, but default is not that- "create" the initial book from iphoto "album" it loads less than 800 pics and then when i change layout i have blanks.
    if i clear the book so that it is all blanks and then try to load in the pictures i have it loses the chronology of the pictures that i had established in the album.
    is there a way to import photos into an ibook template and keep the original order of the photos without having to do them one at a time?
    also, is there a way to insert a photo rather than just dragging it? i have tried the cut and paste funciton but it doesn't seem to work, the target site doesn't seem to register with iphoto.
    many thanks for your help.

    Photos are added to book in chronological order.  So if you want to add them to a book in the order you have placed them manually in an album do the following:
    1 - select all the photos in the album.
    2 - use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Date menu option as shown here. Select any date and add 1 minute between photos.
    3 - select just one photo from the album and create a book from it.
    4 - in the book click on the Options button ➙ Book Settings button and make sure the checkbox for Auto-layout pages is unchecked.
    5 - drag the album with your book photos onto the book icon and they will be imported into the Photos tray of the book in your pre-determined order but not into the pages themselves.
