  • Could not bring up Firefox even after reinstalled the application. Still get "Could not initialize security componets" msg

    I initial received the msg that Firefox is still running in the background and won't open. I check the Task Mgr and Firefox was not running. My storage is only 50% utilized. I finally reinstall Firefox and the new msg "Could not initialize the application security component......." come up. I tried rename the cert8 and the secmod files but still receiving the same "Could not.........." msg. Please help and thanks for your time.

    Try to 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.
    Otherwise you can rename (or copy) the cert8.db.old file to cert8.db to restore the previous intermediate certificates.
    Firefox will automatically store intermediate certificates when you visit websites that send such a certificate.
    If that didn't help then remove or rename secmod.db (secmod.db.old) as well.

  • I keep getting 'failed to initialize'

    i keep getting 'failed to initialize' regardless of what approach i take wich of the many download sites i try, which of the forum suggestions i follow, or whether or not my anti virus software is off or on.  i have tried for 2 days now just to download Adobe reader so i can watch video content on the webpages i wish to view. please help.  thank you

    Adobe Reader is not used to watch video, perhaps Flash Player is what you want. Second we cannot help you if we do not know what OS you are  using. Please download Flash Player

    If you have any problems with Flash Player, please post in the Flash Player forum.

  • I have a problem , i want to reset my security questions and i dont get the email to reset them what can i do?

    i have a problem , i want to reset my security questions but i dont get the email to reset them what can i do?

    If the email hasn't arrived after a few hours and isn't in a spam filter, you need to ask Apple to reset them. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • I started getting messages 3 days ago that my Safari cannot establish a secure connection to Facebook, and it will not open that website. It worked fine for years before this occurred 3 days ago, what can I do to fix it?

    I started getting messages 3 days ago that my Safari cannot establish a secure connection to Facebook, and it will not open that website. It worked fine for years before this occurred 3 days ago, what can I do to fix it?  OS 10.8.3, Safari 6.0.4

    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
    Click:   Remove All Website Data
    Then delete the cache.
    Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If nothing above helped, troubleshoot Safari extensions.
    From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

    Hello codyfromseminole,
    After reviewing your post, I believe your device is under Activaltion Lock. The following article will provide you with more information about the feature:
    iCloud: Activation Lock
    With iOS 7 or later, Find My iPhone includes a feature called Activation Lock, which is turned on automatically when you set up Find My iPhone. Activation Lock makes it harder for anyone to use or sell your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch if it’s ever lost or stolen. 
    With Activation Lock, your Apple ID and password are required before anyone can:
    Turn off Find My iPhone on your device
    Sign out of iCloud on your device
    Erase and reactivate your device
    Important:    Make sure to remember your Apple ID and password, and that your password is unique and secure—someone else shouldn’t be able to guess it. For more information, see the Apple Support article Security and your Apple ID. 
    If you want to give away or sell your device, be sure to erase your content and settings (in Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings). When you erase your content, Find My iPhone and Activation Lock are also turned off. 
    If you no longer have the device, follow the instructions to remove a device you no longer have. For more information, see the Apple Support article What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. 
    For more information about Activation Lock, see the Apple Support article Find My iPhone Activation Lock in iOS 7.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • HT5312 i cant remember security answer , what can i do plz?

    i cant remember security answer , what can i do plz?

    The page that you posted from tells you how to reset them i.e. if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then steps 1 to 5 on that page should let you reset them : go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account, then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use

    e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then try Apple ID Account Security
    or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57

  • I can't get passed the 3 security questions to download an app why is this?

    Why  can't I get passed the third security question when trying to down load an app - what is the solution to this -this is happening on both my iPhone and iPad

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    You might try to see if you can change your security questions. Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account > Password and Security.
    I'm able to do this, others say they need to input answers to their current security questions in order to make changes, I'm inclined to think its worth a try, you don't have anything to lose.
    If that doesn't help you might try contacting Apple through Express Lane (select your country, navigate to iCloud help and enter the serial number of one of your devices)

  • HT5312 I can't remember my security questions, what should i do?

    I have followed all the steps on the support website. i logged in, went to manage my apple id and clicked on security questions. To my surprise there was no option to click "reset my security questions", what can I do? I have an alternate email provided I just cant find the link to reset the questions!

    The reset link will only show if you have a rescue email address on your account - an alternate email address is not a rescue email address, and you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions, you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699

  • My facebook app seems to be frozen and i can't get it to work.  What can i do to fix this or remove the app and reinstall it?

    My facebook app seems to be frozen and i cant get it to do anything.  what can i do to fix this problem or uninstall the app and then reinstall it?

    Try closing the Facebook app completely and see if it works ok when you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Facebook app 'open' on-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 Facebook 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.
