I go to the BBC News website and it's a "white screen" but shows the correct URL. It ony happens on my PC. Help!
There is nothing wrong with the BBC News website, but just using my home PC I get a white screen where the webpage should be. Press F5 to refresh - nothing. Go to another website - fine. Go back to BBC News website - white screen.
I have checked add-ons etc, but nothing can be blocking just this one site on my PC as the URL still shows in the address bar.
It works okay on my laptop in the same room using the same wifi hub connection.
Help !
'''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Don't select anything right now, just use "'Start in Safe Mode"''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.
Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''

flash player has been installed multiple time without errors but bbc news website and even flash player help say it isn't. How do i get out of this loop? - using windows 7 ultimate and latest IE11
I have had the same problem for WEEKS and I cannot access any sites that use Flash. Flash has been installed on this computer since I bought it in 2012. I have allowed auto updates but for weeks the updates never get past Step 2 - is this because I do NOT want the Google Tool bar? I use NO tool bars as there is only 6 inches of vertical screen space. Is this because I uncheck wanting Chrome as a default browser? It is already installed, I just don't use it. I came to this site and ran the check is it installed and the system says it is either not installed or not enabled. Version 14 just downloaded about 30 minutes ago - but did not progress to Step 3 although a pop up screen came up with a finish button, which I clicked. WHAT is the problem and how do I fix it? If this were just a compatibility bug between IE11 and Adobe they have had plenty of time to fix it.

Why do I see "Blocked Plug-Ins" when I try to play a video - this is generally on the BBC News website. I haven't tried elsewhere.
I have an old Mac 2009.Hello alymarvellous,
Take a look at the article linked below, it provides information about the plug-in alert that you’re seeing when browsing specific websites on your iMac.
Safari 8 (Yosemite): Safari troubleshooting
Problems with plug-ins
If a webpage has trouble showing plug-in content such as video, you may see a placeholder with a button that describes a plug-in problem. For example, the plug-in might be old, missing, or blocked.
Try clicking the placeholder button to resolve the problem.
For more information, see If a plug-in is missing and If a website has plug-in content.
Cheers,

Hello I just found a problem with my Ipod nano 6th generation. It worked fine an hour ago but then the screen turned a dark grey. Did the restore through Itunes and then it went white. But now it's totally unresponsive and seems to be off even when it is plugged into itunes. Can't even restore it. I get Error 1415?
Hi clarity,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
You may want to first try removing and reinstalling the latest version of iTunes by following the steps in this article:

My icons are missing from my bookmarks and when I click on let's say chase banking, I am taken to BBC News.
A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Why doesn't the local news part of the bbc news website update when content changes?
i have BBc news as my home page and in Internet Explorer it updates regularly to show changes to local news headlines but this doesn't happen in Firefox. i have to change my location to get the lasetst local headlines. the only person who has enquired about this problem a few months ago seemed not to have resolved it. does anyone have any idea what i can do or should I just go back to using IE?
This url was not asking for a location: [http://www.bbc.com/news/]
You can change it to never ask for the location with these steps:
# Click on the padlock or globe in the url bar
# Click on "More Information"
#Click on Permissions
#Uncheck Use Default under Access Your Location and click "Allow"
Restart Firefox, when you start it does the news refresh? -
In fact I just tried another and it opened the Yahoo home page. All the bookmarks in the Bookmarks Toolbar work fine, but anything outside of that doesn't. Mostly it opens the http://news.bbc.co.uk.
Any help would be much appreciated.

I need to modify an incorrect mailing address on my AppleCare Protection Plan certificate.

I've been trying for several hours to find a way to modify my address on the AppleCare site, with no success. Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated!

I don't know what to do with my ipad2?
I'm guessing you did not buy the iPad from Apple. If you did not buy it from Apple, it may very well have an older software version. Only iOS 5 or later is PC independent. If you have an earlier version, a computer with iTunes loaded is required.

My iPod is stuck on a whit screen, but not the typical white screen problem.....i
it's a 3G, when you push on the screen sometimes it works but recently it stopped completely and whenever I push it, it does nothing
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Firefox 3.6.12 crashes whenever I try to play a video on BBC news website.
I'm running Os x 10.5.8 and have fully updated my adobe flash for firefox. Every time I try to play a video on the BBC news website Firefox freezes, then crashes. Sometimes, but rarely upon reopening the video will work and it wont crash again. This problem only started with the latest patch on firefox. I run "NoScript" and "Adblock" but even with these turned off the problem persists.
I'm on Mac OSX 10.6.5 - and exactly the same problem. It seemed to start with Firefox 3.6.12 and 'latest' Flash upgrade (both done at the same time). Ive tried going back to the previous versions, but makes no difference.
Seems to be on 'auto-play' news video clips within the BBC news website, the loading info is 'stats.bbc.co.uk' as the dots spin - then crash...
Very annoying - is anybody looking at this Mozilla? -
Links to the BBC News Player don't start video streams.
On the BBC News website there are numerous links to video news streams which should start playing in the BBC News Player (a new popup windows with either web content and a video stream in either Windows Media Player or Real Player format).
Whenever I go to the BBC News website (http://news.bbc.co.uk) and click a video link it:
1. Opens up the BBC News Player in a popup window.
2. Shows a short BBC News Logo clip of 3 seconds.
3. Then does nothing.
What it should do for step 3 is to play the relevant video stream.
I've tried this in several Mac browsers:
Safari (2.0.2) = FAILS (as described above)
Inernet Explorer (5.2) = WORKS (but without CSS the html looks messy)
Camino (0.8.4) = WORKS
Opera (8.0.2) = WORKS
Firefox (1.0.2) = WORKS
Q1. So why does it work in all the above browsers, but in Safari.
Q2. Do other people get it work in Safari or not?
John.iBod,
I'm more baffled now! I created a couple of new accounts (one admin, one standard) and tried them. Both had the same outcome:
1. Started Safari.
2. Went to http://news.bbc.co.uk
3. Clicked link to display a video news clip (was one about dummies!).
4. BBC News Player window popped up, asking if I wanted Real Player or Windows Media. Chose Real Player.
5. Window refreshed with the correct video clip.
6. Quit and restarted Safari and tried again. OK.
7. Quit and restarted Safari and tried again. Not it fails persistently. (By fail I mean the player window comes up but the video clip is only a 3-second clip of a BBC logo.)
I tried the second new account and similarly. For the first few goes it works properly. After a few goes it fails.

BBC News website appears in "text mode"
The BBC News website has just started appearing in a "text mode". Previously the items were separated and the font was "filled in". Now the articles are all run together and the font appears as an outline.
The problem seems to have cleared.
I used System Restore to go back to a point before I had installed a plug in to enable FF to look at a TV web site. No improvement. (See attachment).
because I had gone back a few days a couple of Win 7 updates had been rremoved. On closing down the pC they were re-installed. Restarting showed no improvement.
I then started to use IE to browse the web and looked at a couple of sites. Then I went back to FF and the BBC site is running perfectly. -
Help........
I will starting afresh website in my iWeb, when I start the program it only shows the head or the command line and the command new website is inactive - what do I need to start over - what have I done wrongDon't quite understand what you mean, but it says at the bottom that you are still using iWeb 08 so depending on what OSX you are running, you might consider upgrading to iWeb 09. This works with Lion, Mountain Lion and Mavericks.
Apple no longer sells iWeb so if you decide to upgrade, then you'll need to purchase iWeb by going to Amazon and buying the iLife 09 or 11 boxed sets, both of which contain iWeb 09.
Install this on your Mac and it might solve your problems, or just ditch iWeb and start again with one of the newer programmes out there that are still being supported and updated, such as RapidWeaver, Sandvox, Freeway Pro/Express, Flux 4, WebAcapella 4 and EverWeb (http://www.everwebapp.com).
