I get an ALERT

On opening Firefox (Mac) I get the Alert:
Could not initialize the application's security component. The most likely cause is problems with files in your application's profile directory. Please check that this directory has no read/write restrictions and your hard disk is not full or close to full. It is recommended that you exit the application and fix the problem. If you continue to use this session, you might see incorrect application behaviour when accessing security features.
What do I do? (The Alert is one amazingly uninformative message!)
Thanks

Try to remove or rename secmod.db (secmod.db.old) in the Firefox profile folder.
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
If that didn't help then rename the cert8.db file in the Firefox profile folder to cert8.db.old or delete the cert8.db file to remove intermediate certificates that Firefox has stored.
If that helped to solve the problem then you can remove the renamed cert8.db.old file.<br />
Otherwise you can rename (or copy) the cert8.db.old file to cert8.db to restore the previous intermediate certificates.<br />
Firefox will automatically store intermediate certificates when you visit websites that send such a certificate.

    When I am writing an email, I get an alert message that says “The message could not be copied or moved to the drafts folder. Writing to the folder failed. To gain disc space, choose Empty Deleted and choose Compact Folders and try again.”
    If I do that, I get a message saying “There was an error copying to the Sent folder,, retry?”
    If I retry it sends the uncompleted email. All I can do is keep deleting the message and carry on. Then the whole business might repeat itself.
    Help!

    Because the location for each song in your library is on your hard drive.  If the hard drive isn't there, how can iTunes play it?
    You'll have to move/copy the music from your hard drive to your computer's hard drive.
    Basically, EASIEST way to do all this, if you don't care about your play counts, etc...
    -Delete EVERYTHING from iTunes, so that your library is now empty.
    -Go to "Advanced" inside of the "Preferences" window, found in the "Edit" drop-down.  You can also access Preferences by pressing Ctrl+, (Press Ctrl and the comma key)
    -Change your iTunes Media Folder Location to something simple, but on your computer. I use C:/iTunes.  Make sure "Keep iTunes Media Folder Organized" and "Copy files to...." are both checked.  You can close Preferences now.
    -Now, drag and drop your music from your hard drive into your iTunes library.  iTunes will automatically add the music to your library, as you would expect, and also creates a copy of each file to place into that iTunes Media Folder you just created.
    Shouldn't have any more problems...

  • Why do i keep getting an Alert message saying "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded "?

    Why do i keep getting an Alert message saying "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded "?
    This happens a lot regardless of the web page. I continually have to restart FF and it persists still

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    * [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • On startup I get an Alert dialog that tells me that some security feature is not working and I should correct things in the Firefox profile. What's going on?

    If I click OK, it goes away and Firefox seems to work fine, but I don't like this situation. Anyone know what this is?
    I've trashed the old Firefox (which left a few dynamic libs open and I had to restart to empty the trash) and I installed the latest Firefox (3.6.14), but the problem remains. I found a profile for Firefox in the /Library/Cache folder, but I don't know what to do with it. My disk has plenty of room.
    Any help or pointers appreciated

    There are a few possible causes of that error, for details on fixing it see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Could+not+initialize+the+browser+security+component

  • How to get email alerts ??

    Hi all,
    I have my work email account in Office 365, I have configured the account in my iPhone 4 running 7.1.1 & it's working fine.
    But i have a problem here, i use outlook at Work & i have created folders & folder rules for different people working in my office the folders have been synced to my iPhone but when i receive a mail from a specific person for whom the folder is created i don't get an alert & if the mail comes directly to my inbox everything works fine.
    I have to manually go to the folder & update it for syncing the emails. I am missing some of the important emails which i shouldn't have missed.
    Please, some body from the forum help me with this.
    Thanks,
    Pranay.

    You should have the option to Push other mailboxes for your account, which should then provide you with notice. If not notice, at least it will sync those folders without your needing to manually refresh them.
    Go into Setting>Mail, Contacts, Calendars and select Fetch New Data. Select the account you want to Push. From there, you should get a selection box for you to chose which folders you want pushed. Try that to see if this improves your experience.
    Chris this wouldn't work for a subfolder right?

    "Current browser"? When viewing anything, or just when using an APEX app?
    Ans .. Just when using apex app....even if the apex app is minimised ..The current browser will be the one where I am using apex app...
    What i am looking for some scheduler .. to check ..in the table every 5 minute for change if there is a change..then a popup alert be shown...
    Split it into [at least] 2 components, database and browser. I'd expect someone calling themself a "DBA Architect" to have some ideas about the database side of things, even if not clued up on JavaScript and AJAX?
    I dont think its a database isssue... When i say to check every 5 minutes ..it could be easily done via dbms_scheduler ...I am having issue in getting the popup alert message...
    in apex... Dont know wether there is a plugin like modal window(available from skill builder) which shall help in this scenario,.Or might be have to use java scripting and ajax ..
    and if it is that (Java scripting and Ajax) .....then shall have to be familiar with java scripting and Ajax...and this shall be a bit time consuming..
    Had a feeling this could be accomplished via java scripting and ajax.. ...but still looking for some easy way..

  • I have a new iPhone 5C, have the sounds alerts set up. But I'm not getting sound alerts for new voicemail, only the red circle on the screen.  How can I make the sound alert work?

    I have a new iPhone 5C, have the sounds alerts set up. But I'm not getting sound alerts for new voicemail, only the red circle on the screen.  How can I make the sound alert work?

    I have had this same problem for weeks now with my 4S.  I just got a new 5S after being extremely frustrated and the same thing - no sounds.  After searching posts all over, I couldn't find a solution. I just told my friend of the issue and he asked "Do you have the Do Not Distrub on?"  I didn't even know such a function existed.  Upon looking that was exactly the issue.
    To resolve, go to Settings> Do Not Disturb> Manual.  If it is green, turn it off.  You will now get phone calls and text alerts.
    This functionality is also on your quick access utility menu (slide up menu).  I assume this is how it was enabled on my phone.
    I will post on other sites since I searched for weeks for this solution and didn't see it anywhere.  Good luck!

  • Hey. I have received an iTunes gift card, so I was all excited, punching the code into the "redeem" option on iTunes on my iPad2; however, I kept on getting the alert, "This is not recognised as a valid code". It is very legible, though. How come?

    Hey. I have received an iTunes gift card, so I was all excited, punching the code into the "redeem" option on iTunes on my iPad2; however, I kept on getting the alert, "This is not recognised as a valid code". It is very legible, though. How come?

    The obvious answer I think is that maybe you are not entering the letters and numbers correctly. I almost never get it right the first time when I use a gift card.
    Try entering the code again - slowly and methodically. If it still doesn't work - look here for help.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1292
    One final thought - if you are using a gift card that was purchased in another country - say like you have a Canada gift card and you live in the U.S. - that card will not work in the U.S. iTunes store.

  • Why am I getting an alert saying the connection to my hotmail has been reset when I can connect to other sites?

    I get an alert banner saying my connection has been reset. This only happens when I try to connect to hotmail. It works fine when I connect to other sites, including this one. This is a new problem and I have not experienced it before, even though I have had problems with broadband connections. There are unusaul movements on my hotmail like when I delete messages and clear the delete folder, the deleted messages reappear when I reopen my hotmail. I have also had messages missing and reappearing even though they are from several year ago. The new problem with the alert message started about 10 minutes ago. I was able to access my hotmail via Safari but I get the alert message everytime I try with firefox.

    Hi ...
    Try here > Mac App Store: "An unknown error occurred (100)" when purchasing
    If that doesn't help, drag the App Store icon straight up off your Dock so it goes, "poof".
    Now drag the App Store icon from your Applications folder to the Dock. Try updating your apps.
