I have been using aurora and updated to 12.0a2 and my computer continually freezes even after disabling all plug-ins and i have even dumped stuff from the memory on my hard drive.

i continually get the same 12.0a2 update box that pops up in the bottom right corner even though i have the updated version and i have to wait for the aurora updater to do something everytime i start a new session. i went through and disabled all plug-ins and have no extensions active and this doesn't solve the problem. according to plug-in check all plug-ins are up to date. aurora does crash every once in a while where it closes out all my windows...but i do not get the crash report anymore to report it. is there a problem with aurora? i even updated FF in case that had a factor in the crashes/freezes!! FF used to do this same thing all the timea fter a new update but this is ridiculous!! WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? typos courtesy of freezing!!!is there a problem with aurora? i can't go more than 2 minutes without constant freezing and the "not responding" message. i have run scans on my computer weekly since i updated to aurora and there is no threats/problems...why does this keep happening?
addendum...i have added the crash reports for the last week...does that give any insight into why this keeps happening?

i am not sure what this means? "not for public use"? i did not seek out another version of FF it was an option on mozilla's page when i needed to update FF!! i know that i will run into these problems if i do not keep current and it was an option so i chose it. are you suggesting that i dump aurora from my system and go back to using just FF? i'm not a developer or know anything deep regarding the physical or logical of systems...i am just trying to keep good maintenance on my system!! i need a browser that works with me and not against me...chrome does not do what i need...neither does opera...FF is the only browser that i have used for almost 4 years now and i don't plan on going back to IE or changing to those mentioned above...i just want to know that when i see new offerings on mozilla products and i accept them into my system that they work much better than what i am experiencing currently!! i get that it is open-sourced and therefore a work in progress

  • What is NSAppshell event window and how can I remove it? Have tried disabling all plug-ins and add-ons and it's still there and makes our computer slower than dial up!

    Whenever I log off of my computer I get a message "NSAppshell event window," which slows down the performance of Mozilla and anything else we're trying to run on our computer. We're forced to log off and on to reboot and this happens nearly all the time. We have tried disabling all add-ons and plug-ins, to no avail. We are using Mozilla 4.0. Thanks for any help you can provide, as we don't want to go back to using Internet Explorer if we can help it.

    I'd like you to upgrade to the latest version of Firefox, and tell me if that fixes your problem.

  • Whenever I run Firfox 4.0, my computer fan runs continuously. I have disabled all plug-ins, and I get the same result. This did not happen with Firefox 3.x, and it doesn't happen with IE 8.0. Any ideas?

    I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
    When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
    At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
    I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

  • Firefox continues to have"Not Reponding" issues. Upadated all plug-ins and disables most of them but issue still occurs, often.

    Firefox continues to have"Not Responding" issues. Updated all plug-ins and disabled most of them but issue still occurs, OFTEN.

    Thank you for your reply,
    I know that plugins aren't being outright disabled and that people need to be encouraged to keep up to date, it's just that there's a lopsided amount of focus on them as a security vector from Mozilla.
    I must point out however, that javascript security at the moment seems to consist of an on-off switch on almost every browser in existence: there is no obvious way to set "I don't want that site to know where my mouse is for my privacy", "I don't want that site to dynamically load content because it slows my browser" or the sort.
    While there is CAPS ( http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/components/ConfigPolicy.html ) it is not configurable from within the browser (and its existence at all is obfuscated) and considering a lot of javascript is obfuscated to discourage run-time modification (say using web development toolbars) or discourage CAPS usage, there's little way to know what exactly to use CAPS on without reverse engineering. The average user would not be able to do this.
    Javascript security needs to be more, much more than an on/off switch.

  • I have multiple devices backed up to the same computer each with different data. how do i keep them from syncing all data when i back up or transfer stuff from the computer to a device?

    i have multiple devices backed up to the same computer each with different data. how do i keep them from syncing all data when i back up or transfer stuff from the computer to a device? one is an iphone 6 and the others are ipad mini first gens, each ipad has 64gb and the iphone has 128, need to keep the data seperate as they are not all mine

    Itunes content and pics are NOT part of the backup that itunes performs.
    Backing up, updating, and restoring iPad, iPod touch, and iPhone software
    You should transfer any purchases from iphone regularly:  File>Transfer Purchases  , if they fail to be transferred when you sync.
    You buy one and only one download.  It is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your purchases.
    You can try contacting itunes support and asking for an exception, but they are under no obligation to allow.

  • All plug-ins and Adobe add-ons gone after this last update! I want them back!

    I have 4 critical Topaz plug-ins and several Adobe add-ons that make my workflow so much easier but after this last update they've disappeared. I found the Adobe AO's briefly in 'Extensions' and Features needed an update, I did and then it disappeared! I restarted and now 'Extensions' has NOTHING in it! I want my stuff back! How do I do this?

    Thanks! I did redownload them and everything works again. AND my Adobe add-ons suddenly reappeared too! Thanks!

  • URGENT Trying to wipe and reinstall Leopard 10.5 on my 2008 imac8,1 from the disk but my hard drive doesn't show up

    So to give a little big of a background on my computer.  I got it January 2009 as a graduation gift, because I was going to get a degree in Graphic Design and Animation.  I only worked on it [mostly brousing the web, and itunes]  for about 6 months because I was taking all of my general courses for college.  I then met my boyfriend [late 2009] and moved in with him, my boyfriend has a macbook so I left my mac at my parents house.  I was only Using it every now and then and it would be idle/ or shut off the rest of the time. 
    Fast forward to fall 2011.  Me and my boyfriend live in a condo so I brought my computer over because I am now taking graphic design courses and need my computer.  I installed a free 30 day trial of adobe cs5.5.  It made my computer kind of slow and it froze alot even though I still have over 250gb's of memory in it.  After the trial ended I kind of stoped using my computer again,  rather installing the free trials of cs5.5 on my mom and my boyfriends macs until I had enought money saved up to buy it.
    Here's where it gets tricky.
    So now its March 2012 and I tried uninstalling the trial of cs5.5 on my computer since it was just taking up un needed space.  I had to uninstall all of the programs one at a time other wise it would freeze up.  I have had to hold the power button down to get it to turn off because i couldn't even move the mouse even after waiting a while.  Anyhow I get to the last program and it keeps freezing, I tried shutting down my computer via<apple< shut down. But when I start it up again I got a file with a question mark flashing on my screen.  So I looked up how to fix that and had to locate where to start up [I selected my hard drive] then I was able to get on to my computer.      
    So then I go to disk utilitys and do a repair on my internal hard drive to fix if there were any messed up files. After the files are repaired I figure I'll restart it and let everything get up to date.  When I do I get the gray screen with the apple and the spinning wheel.  This happens OVER and OVER.  I tried soft reseting it, manually turning off the computer, you name it.  But it still keeps happening.  So I figure I'll just wipe it clean and reinstall the whole thing. [I have it backed up on an external drive]
    I try to reinstall leopard 10.5 from the disk that came with my computer, all goes well until I gets to the 3rd screen where you select where to save it to, my hard drive doesn't show up.  But if I connect my external hard drive it shows up right away.  I try seeing if it pops up on disk utility, and it doesn't show up there either. 
    Is it possible that my hard drive is shot?  I haven't really used my computer that much.  Its pretty much sat at my parents house for 2 of the 3 years I've had it.  So its not like I used it a whole lot. 
    Help! I'm a college student who needs her mac now more than ever for my design classes!

    The battery alone is a $5 to $15 part.  Hard drives vary in cost, and depending on the iMac, they may or may not be able to install a third party hard drive, or one resold through Apple.    The resold through Apple drives tend to cost more.  This article discusses the varying successes of third party drives on iMacs:
    http://blog.macsales.com/10146-apple-further-restricts-upgrade-options-on-new-im acs 
    The labor costs depend on the store as well as the time to get the parts in stock.    Call around.

  • I want to replace the hard drive on my IMac but want to know how to transfer from the time machine external hard drive to the replacement drive?

    I have reached capacity on my IMac hard drive.   It is a 250 GB drive.   I have an external drive backing up using the time machine utility.  My question is once I replace the HD on the IMac, how do I load the new drive with the back up from the external drive?

    So many possibilities.
    I am not an expert, but I have learned this much is doable:
    Buy an external enclosure to re-use you old drive.
    Buy a new external drive at least as large as as your intended new internal drive.  Make it self-powered.
    Download CarbonCopyClone (free download, relatively small).
    Make a CCC clone of the original disk on the new external disk
    Install the original disk in the external enclosure.
    Install the new disk in the main system.
    Boot from that new external drive that has the carbon copy clone.  CCC will be installed on it and it will be bootable.
    Use CCC on the external to directly clone back to new drive you install in the main system (the "bootable" flag will copy).
    NOTE THAT AT NO TIME IS YOUR ORIGINAL DISK BEING OVERWRITTEN IN THIS PROCESS.  YOU CAN ALWAYS GO BACK AND REINSTALL IT.
    Step 1 makes your old disk resuable as a spare copy for "anything".
    Step 2 gives you something to use as CCC for after the recovery process.
    Step 3 gets the software needed for cloning
    Step 4 makes a bootable saved copy of your current system
    Step 5 shifts your old disk to a usable place
    Step 6 positions your new disk
    Step 7 boots your existing install of OSX (just from a different drive)
    Step 8 puts your original install on your new disk.
    Now you have a bootable larger hard drive, and a bootable copy on a drive large enough to save all you can store on your new internal drive.  And you have your old disk to use for "anything".
    Now you have TM backup in one place, and CCC backup in another.
    Two backups is better than one, and one of your backups is bootable in case of system failure.

  • After resetting all plug-ins a recently installed plugin no longer works and will not reinstall. It will not show up in the add-ons depsite saying it installed

    I recently had to reset my plugins using Firefox 12 in safemode to get rid of an extension/add-on causing a redirect problem. All has been well, except a plugin I needed no longer works. It is called "missing-e" and is for Tumblr.
    I have tried reinstalling it at least 5 times, per their instructions, and am now here after they said it was a browser issue. I do get prompted to install it to firefox, I have it install, I get the message it was installed correctly - but then it never shows up in either the Extensions or Plugins area under Add-Ons area (though nothing ever shows up in Extensions). And the features it enables in tumblr are not enabled.
    The 'missing-e' people sent me here saying they believe this is a browser problem.

    Are you talking about plugins or extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) as you mention Safe mode?
    It is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
    Delete the files extensions.* (e.g. extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini, extensions.cache) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Profiles
    New files will be created when required.
    See "Corrupt extension files":
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Unable+to+install+add-ons
    If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left side of the Search Bar (or click the "Find Updates" button in older Firefox versions) to check if there is a compatibility update available.

  • Firefox won't start even after disabling all plugins and reinstalling

    Two days ago I updated my graphics card drivers (nvidia geforce) and it had some problems. I went into live chat support and after reinstalling some files it worked. Right after that Firefox wouldn't open, prompting me to restart or close. Hitting restart would take me the same place. It only opened in safe mode, where I deactivated the plugins related to the graphics card, and Firefox started normally.
    Yesterday it didn't start again, even with those plugins deactivated. so I started in safe mode and deactivated all other plugins and it started. Today happened the same again but now I didn't have anything to deactivate so I could never start it. I unistalled and downloaded the installation file again and installed. The problem remained.
    I went to the page Firefox crashes - Troubleshooting and filled in the crash report to mozilla crash reports page with the ID: 6cf4a525-9152-46f9-96f2-7ef282131023
    The problem looks like it has something to do with the file mswsock.dll, but I'm affraid of deleting it.
    Please help me.
    Thank you,
    Pedro

    hello pedro, this crash is caused by the "Media Accelerator" part your nvidia graphics driver. please see if you can selectively disable it in the nvidia control panel or even uninstall it. otherwise please try [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL|updating your graphics driver]], or in case this doesn't solve the issue or there is no new version available at the moment, disable hardware acceleration in ''firefox > options > advanced > general''.

  • In fact, all plug-ins and extension can be integrated as 'PLUG-INS"

    in InDesign CSx (x=cs3/cs4/cs5/cs5.5/cs6)
    1. Why does Apple not like FLEX ? Is it just because Flex/Flesh builder an wrap of cocoa framework on Mac?
    2. Will adobe have a compressed version of InDesign for iPad or even iPhone?
    he-he!

    Go Logic Pro>Preferences>Audio and enable coreaudio.
