I have firefox 6.02. Why does it keep freezing on me lately for the last week or so?

Every few seconds, the firefox just freezes & I need to wait a few minutes & I can't do anything else with firefox until it cleares! WHY?

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the files sessionstore.js [2] and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

For the last week or so I have been unable to stream anything using Safari on my Mac. Using Firefox I can; any ideas? ThanksDave

Hi RMH1405,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on exactly what kind of streaming you are talking about or what you are seeing when you try to do so in Safari. If the sites in question are Flash-based, you may need to make sure that Flash Player is up to date in Safari, as noted in this article:
Adobe Flash Player updates available for OS X on December 12, 2014 - Apple Support

For the last week or three Firefox refreshes two or three times for each refresh, and sometimes for no obvious reason..

For the last week or three Firefox refreshes two or three times for each refresh. Sometimes it refreshes for no obvious reason. For instance, I'll be in the middle of typing into a forum's post block & it refreshes. Or filling out an online form. Or simply viewing a page.

You can check for issues caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

WHY DOES PHOTOSHOP KEEP FREEZING?

i have photoshop cs5.1 and everytime i try to close a project it freezes and i have to force quit. i have a 2010 macpro, but most importantly when i open a new project it doesnt allow me to type anything, i hit the text tool and a small dot comes on the screen and i cant write anything, help me please. oh and why does it keep saying rendering type everytime i hit a button in the tool side?

Have you tried resetting preferences?
Have you tried disabling all third party plugins?
Can you use Sampler or the Activity Monitor to get sample of what Photoshop is doing when it appears frozen?
(my guess is that you have a corrupt font, and it's hitting a bug in the OS font engine, which causes other problems)

Why does iPhoto keep freezing when I edit pictures, forcing me to have to keep quitting it?

Hi.
I have an imac and an iomega external hard drive on which I store the pics in iPhoto.
Each time I decide to edit a picture, after about three steps ( crop, change to B & W and then sharpen for instance), the thing just locks up, which is when I have to 'force quit' the application.
It is driving me to absolute distraction... this should be a simple task.
Any answers as to why this happens would be much appreciated.
( All software is up to date)

I have not used iPhoto '08 in a very long time, so I hope TD is still following this thread.
This 2008 Mac has 1GB of Ram, which I don't think I can expand/add to?
If you can add to the RAM will depend on the model.
But 1GB might be insuffícient, if you are processing very large image files. What kind of images do you have? Are you processing large scans or moderately sized jpegs?
I'd refrain from running any other programs concurrently, while working with iPhoto. Close Safari and any other app that might be needing much RAM.
If you did not import anything new, I'd try to repair your iPhoto library. Make a backup, before you do that.
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.

Why does Yosemite keep freezing?

I have a MacBook Pro, 2012 I believe. For the most part, it's been one of the best computers I've owned so far, running smoothly with few glitches or errors. Then I updated to Yosemite.
Now, I'm lucky if a job that took a few seconds on the previous system takes less than five minutes on the new one. The system lags and hangs pretty much every other action. It has to 'think' about everything, but especially typing. While writing this, the system paused for over fifteen seconds, unable to do anything, before continuing with typing out my sentence. Here's a little bit of what keeps going wrong:
1.) While typing in Microsoft Word, the system will continually and consistently freeze, often in the middle of a word I was tying, sometimes for upwards of a minute. May or may not complete the word or phrase I was typing when freeze occurred (literally just happened while typing this sentence; so Firefox is buggy too) Saving and opening files also takes an inordinate amount of time.
2.) Using iTunes or 3rd Party software for music and/or videos is pretty much impossible. Audio will repeatedly pause and glitch for upwards of thirty seconds before resuming, or just cut out entirely. Video doesn't fare much better, however video will sometimes freeze while audio continues on for a few seconds before freezing as well. Other times video and audio will pause at once and then resume. Problem is also present (but less pronounced) for YouTube videos.
3.) Accessing files takes upwards of a minute (depending on size and location) and will necessitate no other activity on other programs in the meantime (system will lock up temporarily and then resume as file opens).
4.) System will often stop and lock up even when I'm not doing anything; evidenced by the spinning 'busy' icon appearing and the system not responding when prompted.
5.) System seems to have a problem with scrolling through menus or websites as well.
6.) Possibly the cause of -or related to- these problems: Filevault will not stop its encryption process. I left the system running on cord power (modifying the appropriate energy-saving settings so the computer wouldn't go to sleep automatically) for upwards of 24 hours with no programs running, and the progress bar hasn't moved. (Occasionally it'll jump to full and then return to half-full)
I love my computer, but this new OS has made me pull my hair out and want to bash my head into the wall, repeatedly. I have no idea how to fix this, or how I would implement a solution, if any. My only thought is that I should re-download and install the previous OS, but it'd be a tremendous hassle and I'm worried about compatibility issues with some of the newer files. Could someone please explain why this keeps happening and walk me through a solution? Bear in mind that I am the DEFINITION of 'Stupid end-user'. I know nothing about how computers or coding works, and I'm just trying to get mine fixed.

Why does my iPad 2 only store emails from the last 3 or 4 days?

Why does my iPad2 only store emails from the last 3 or 4 days? I have it set up to store the last 1000 messages but I can't seem to keep them...

What is the account type - POP, IMAP, or Exchange?
If a POP account, are you also accessing the account with an email client on your computer? If so, what is the account setting for removing messages from the server after being downloaded with the email client used on your computer for accessing the account?

Why does my wife's calendar app ask for the password to my calendar account?

My wife and I used to have iPhone 4's. We each have a Google calendar, and we had our calendar apps set up so that each iphone would show both calendars. We never had any trouble.
Recently my wife and I switched to iPhone 5c's. Since then, whenever my wife tries to enter something into the calendar, the app asks for the password to my account. I don't have that problem on my phone. I'm pretty sure the phone apps are set up the same way. What gives?

It is possible that those 2 calendars are syncing Google accounts and being shared. My friend shares her calendar with me and it shows up in my calendar.

Why does itunes keep freezing?

While importing CD's to itunes with windows 8, it keeps freezing up and I have to end itunes through the task manager and restart. Any suggestions?

There is an Apple article on troubleshooting freezes here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302856
However it could be a bit of a pain to do if your problem is intermittent.
If the problem is system wide (see article) trying MSConfig to look for conflicting processes might help. I used to get a lot of several second hangs with norton 2005 which went away when I installed norton 2007 for example.

Why does Safari keep freezing?

When on Safari, it will freeze and the loading colored ball will come up and Safari will stop working. This happens every.. twenty minutes or every time I open a new tab. I can use any other program, and I have to Force Quit or it will just sit there. This has been happening for about a week. Please help, not even a year old Macbook. Thanks.

HI and welcome to Apple Discussions...
Please take a moment and click My Settings on the right side of this page. Tell us which Mac you are using and which Mac OS X. That way you have a forum profile set up which makes it easier for troubleshooting. Thanks!
As for Safari. If you have Safari Extensions installed, from your Safari Menu Bar click Safari / Preferences and select the Extensions tab. Turn Extensions off. Relaunch Safari and see if that makes a difference.
If you do not use Safari extensions, it could be Safari third party add-ons causing the "freezes" Go here for help with that. Safari: Add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
You can also try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file. Open a Finder window. Select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. It has a small house icon. Then open the Library folder then the Preferences folder. Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop. Now launch Safari. If Safari speeds up loading web pages, them move the .plist file to the Trash.
Check for duplicate or corrupted fonts, instructions here.

Make sure you have enough free space on the startup disk. Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you always have a minimum of 10% to 15% free disk space at all times.

Fox News is my home page, but firefox won't load it...for the last week. Works fine with MS Explorer. Ideas?

About a week ago (15 Aug or so), Firefox began just waiting when I would launch it. My home page is Foxnews. If I wait long enough (minutes) it will tell me it is unavailable or moved and tries to offer alternate websites. I can go to any other website by selecting from history or typing in the url. When I launch explorer, it works without any problem at all. So, I've been using explorer. Today, 19 Aug, it is still doing the same thing. I haven't done anything recently. Running Vista Home for OS.

Thanks for the suggestion.Working my way through, but no success yet. excite.com comes up but as soon as I click on "sign in", I get the error screen even though I have enabled cookies and java script.

TS1631 On an off for the last week or so I have had same problem with my iPhone 4. No sound or no bars show up when trying to increase the volume. I've had it for 14 months and no problem. I've tried all the little tips re turning it off and also holding

Sound on my iPhone 4S is messed up, tips and suggestions left by others not working any more. At first turning it off for a while worked, when turned it back in the keyboard click would work for a few keystrokes but now not even that. Had the phone for a bit more than a year, so I know my sound is on and checked all my settings. Posted suggestions from support is not helpful. I guess next step is to take it in for repair? Or is this Apple's way of telling us to upgrade? :(

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
FYI, Apple does not repair iPhones. If basic troubleshooting does not resolve either purchase a new iPhone or take the device to Apple for an Out of Warranty replacement which is $199US for the 4S.
