I downloaded an update to Firefox last night, and now Firefox just hangs and won't connect. It started out okay this morning, but now it won't work at all.

Even with a brand new computer, Firefox frequently hangs and/or quits spontaneously. I downloaded the latest update last night, and it worked okay for about a half hour this morning, then quit.

Do you have Internet Security Software turned on in your Internet Explorer?
I turned mine off, as I have Norton AV. Go into Internet Explorer and check to see if you have that on and try turning that off...and then try to get back onto FF. You may have to restart your computer, I'm not sure, as I'm not a techie. I just know that the Internet Security Software clashed with my Norton AV.
Good luck!!!
Donna
PS Go with the user's suggestion above me, sounds the right way to go...thank God for the techies, eh? :)

    What cloud service or contact manager was she syncing them to? They should still be there and she should be able to sync them back.  If she was not doing so, they are gone.

  • My iPhone 4s randomly shut off last night and won't come back on. what do i do?

    My iPhone 4s randomly turned off last night and it won't come back on.  It shut off with plenty of battery life last night, but just in case, I've had it plugged into the charger all night. Still nothing has happened. Any advice?

    hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release.

    I should add that this has never been Jailbroken. I keep reading that a lot of times this is the case for a jail broken phone.
    I have also gone through the not very helpfull steps on apples site to fix this.. It is not a security issue since i dont have an antivirus or any 3rd party software for my computer.

  • I updated my software last night and when I came back to the computer its says there was a problem and I need to restore factory settings. How do I get my photos and videos off the phone

    I plugged in my phone to update to the latest software. After a while, I went back to the PC and it said there had been a problem and that I needed to restore the factory settings.
    I am worried that I will lose all the photos and videos that I have on the phone. How do I get them off.
    When I now plug the phone it the screen looks like when you first get it - i.e. itunes logo and asking me to plug in.

    If the device has been used as designed, the pics and via taken with the device would have regularly been copied off to a computer.
    The first step in the update process via iTunes on the computer is a backup.
    Restore the device from the most recent backup.
    If data is lost, then it is merely the fault of the user for not backing up the device or saving their data regularly.
    Once the device is in recovery mode, the ONLY option is to restore.

  • My iPhone 4S turned itself off last night and won't turn back on.

    My iPhone 4S randomly tuned itself off last night (whilst on charge) and now it won't turn back on. I've tried holding down the home and power button, charging it, and connecting it to my laptop, and nothing. I'm just left with the apple on the screen. Please can anyone help?

    Toggle the Mute switch a couple of times. The hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time until an Apple logo appears, or 30 seconds have gone by. If you see nothing you have a hardware defect in the phone. If you seen anything at all on the display follow its instructions, which will probably be to connect to iTunes and restore the phone.

    I have a monthly subscription for PS and Lightroom.
    When I opened Lightroom this morning, it told me an upgrade was available through CC. I probably did something wrong, butI couldn't get it to download.
    I came on the forum and read a couple of discussions on your pages and found a reply that posted links to the pages where Lightroom 5.7 could be downloaded.
    I clicked the link and downloaded the update fine.
    However, now when Lightroom opens, it is asking whether I want to BUY or have a free 30 day trial and won't progress any further into the app.
    My CC icon reveals that my software is up to date but I can't get past this register screen, without selecting BUY or FREE 30 TRIAL .
    can anyone help please?

  • Help! I downloaded and installed the a security update for safari last night and after it rebooted my system quit recognizing my password and quit working, taking me to a utilities window.

    I let my system download and install the latest security update for Safari  yesterday, 28 Apr 14, and when it rebooted, it wouldn't let me login.  Instead it took me to a utilities windown that allowed me to verify my h/d then told me it couldn't be repaired so I would need to save all of my documents (not sure how since it won't boot up) and reinstall OS X.  Help!

    terrelld,
    if you’ve been making regular backups to date, then you could just restore from the last update which you’d made before installing the most recent Safari update. If you haven’t been making regular backups to date, you can try the method provided on this Apple page, in the “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility” section. If you’re not already making regular backups, then I’d highly recommend purchasing an external disk for use as a Time Machine backup destination once you’ve gotten this resolved, so that this sort of problem would be more easily resolved in the future.

  • Updated iPad software last night and did Angry Birds update, now AB won't open.  Help?!

    When I now click on any of the Angry Birds I updated, it tries to load, but then goes back to my home screen.  I have tried restarting and relodading the iPad.  What else can I do?
    Thanks.

    Try This...
    Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...

  • HT1725 I downloaded an album from iTunes last night and some songs won't play through to the end. One stops after about 34 seconds and one stops after about 9 seconds every time. I am running the most up-to-date version of iTunes for Windows

    The album was Grateful Dead Sunshine Daydream Concert 8/27/72. Songs #11 and #12 start but don't finish on either my library or the ipod. There may be others too, but these two I noticed. The downloads were completed ok, the songs sync'ed ok and they appear to be the right length. I thought maybe I need to re-download them but how do you do that once they are purchased? Is there another issue? Thanks for your help

    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the incomplete tracsk from your iTunes library and redownload them via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes.
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if they re-download with the same problem then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • I updated Lightroom 5 last night, and now it won't open. How do I uninstall it so that I can reinstall?

    I thought it was a catalog issue, but it won't even open at all. I just want to uninstall and reinstall. When I click the gear button in my CC, it say uninstall unavailable.

    Operating system?
    Did you install from CC desktop?
    When it fails to open - any error message?

  • My iphone 4s froze last night and won't do anything.  I have iOS7, my power button is not working, so I can't reset my phone.  I've tried to restore through iTunes, but it's telling me to turn off find my phone. I can't do that if my phone does nothing

    I've tried all that I know how to do.  My power button quit working awhile ago so I use the Assistive Touch to lock my screen.  Once my phone froze, the screen went black.  The only thing I can do now on my phone is hold down the home key and Siri will beep but she says "not taking requests at this time, try again later."  I can't reset my phone without the power key or the Assistive Touch button.  I've tried plugging into iTunes to restore the phone but I get an error message to first go to Settings in my phone and turn off "find my iPhone."  I can't do that either as nothing will come up on my screen.

    Make sure iTunes is up to date and try again.

  • My phone died last night and won't turn back on again even though I've had on charge ever since and i tried to use the whole pressing both button but my top one is broke what do i do?

    it has been over 20 hours now

    Well, if you can't reset it, you can try hooking it up to the computer your sync with and try restoring it:
    IOS RECOVERY MODE RESTORE
    If the device is not recognized by iTunes, you will have to make a trip to the Apple Store.
    Best of luck,
