I have tried everything; no toolbar and only a black square. Hours and Hours I have tried all your suggestions.

Last week for the first time in ever having zero problems with Firefox for years all I had was a black screen. I've uninstalled and reinstalled several times, searched for hours for solutions, I feel like I've tried them all to no avail. Almost every troubleshooting tip says to start with the toolbar, I have no toolbar in Firefox any longer, only a clear window where I can see my desktop behind it and a black square. Interestingly enough, from memory of course, it's said something about incompatible XP but I've got Windows 7, never had XP on this computer.
Anyway, I'm using Explorer now and I don't really like it. I've really enjoyed Firefox for years and I miss it intensely. Never had a problem on my other computer, either, but it has XP and I don't use it online any longer.
Please please please don't ask me to try any troubleshooting that involves starting at the toolbar, again, I have no toolbar, literally a black screen and only the minimize and close buttons. That is all. Thank you.
I've currently uninstalled Firefox for about the tenth time so as far as I can tell I would have to reinstall again. Thank you for any help that would help me get my Firefox back.

hello KathyAZ, other users with this problem all had an embedded intel hd3000 graphics card with an old driver present. in case this also applies to you, here would be a link to update the driver, which in turn should also address the black firefox problem: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=23764 (for win7 64 bit)
in case this doesn't solve the issue or does not apply to your system, start firefox into safemode '''by pressing the shift key while the application is launching''' & disable hardware acceleration in the firefox ''menu ≡ > options > advanced > general'' (that setting will take a restart of the browser to take effect).

My iPad won't let me type and has a black square around and thing I touch

my ipad won't let me type and has a blck square around anything I touch. Have done everything online so far...

Your Users Guide has a whole chapter (at the end) devoted to what you do when things aren't going well, generally following the sequence of
Restart - red slider, then boot up again
Force Quit apps - either via Sleep/Wake followed by Home, or via Recents Tray
Reset - hold Home & Sleep/Wake to force reboot
Reset iPad Settings - Settings > General >Reset
Erase All Content - same as above
Restore iPad Software - iTunes or iOS 5 equivalent
You start at #1 and work your way through until the issue you're seeing goes away. If you get through all of the steps and it still doesn't work, you're pretty much out of gas and have to start talking to Apple.
So, firs thing to try? Just power it down and then restart. If that fixes it, great; if not, move along and try the rest of the steps in order.

Iphoto will not open my iPhoto library......have tried everything. This has only happened in the last week.

Iphoto will not open my iPhoto library......have tried everything. This has only happened in the last week.
I have tried everthing suggested on the forum.

Did you follow these directions?
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.>Click on the Add Library button,
2 - select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
3 - make sure that in the rebuild window the checkbox "Scavange orphaned photos" is checked.
4 - now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
5 - in the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed. Click on the Create button.
Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
Note 2: Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

Hi,
I would try a Safe Boot first. (This will take longer than a normal Boot and you will need to Restart afterwards).
If it were an older OS I would also suggest going to System Preferences > Displays and making sure the display is set to Millions. (My MacBook Pro does not have this option in Snow Leopard so I did presume Snow Leopard does not have it).
With some laptops there have been some issues with the cable up the back of the screen pulling loose with regular and frequent use of the lid, but this will not apply to you based on your specs. (it does take time to appear and is also somewhat rare). However it seems enough contact with the camera can make it appear in System Profiler and power it on but not give a pic.
If a Safe Boot does not work I would also try a PRAM reset.
Shut down the computer.
Restart it holding down Apple/CMD (or ⌘)+ALT( ⌥)+P+R Keys until you have heard three Start Up Bongs.
This is actually "less" destructive in that it clears less memory items than Safe Boot but they are different enough to warrant trying.
Do you have an older version of iGlasses installed ?
The one for Leopard does not work for Snow Leopard.
Do you have Web Browser open ?
This may point to Google Video Chat Plug-in and Flash Conflict. It would be rare to allow another app to access the camera even if not displayiong a Pic.
(Chrome Installs the Plug-in as does the standalone download).
Knowing what "any application" exactly you are trying might help us pin it down.
Any additional downloaded apps that can use the camera ?
Do you happen to have something balck in front of the camera ?

My iphone 4S has been updated to the newest software and isn't detecting internet, although sometimes it connects for a few seconds and then disappears again. I have tried everything it has said on the internet about this and it still isn't working.

Ok I think it's a problem with my router. I went to my cousin's house and the Wi-Fi worked there perfectly. I was even able to download many apps. So I guess my router probably can't take in more connections. Oh well thanks anyway.

I5 still using ios6 as of last night the phone will not connect to my Internet, in settings it says connected with the check mark however there is no wifi icon at the top of phone, have done everything possible to resolve... My i4 and pads are fine, I've had this phone for 8 months with no problems until last night , AT&T not any help,apple wants $ I thing it's a software problem.. Any one had this issue?

- Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
- Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
- Reset All Settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings)
- Restore from backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 (If you don't have a backup, make one now, then skip to the next step.)
- Restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 For this step, do not re-download ANYTHING, and do not sign into your Apple ID.
- Test the issue after each step. If the last one does not resolve the issue, it is likely a hardware problem.

I bought my iPhone5 4 months ago and now the camera is not working, it only displays black in the screen. I've tried reset, restore for how many times but still the problem is not being resolve. Any help from you Apple team?

There is no Apple here, this is a user to user forum. When you said you restored, then you restore as NEW?
If you restored as New and still the problem persiist, then it time to take a trip to the Apple store.

My macbook boots up and only stays on for 30sec and goes into sleep mode

My macbook boots up and only stays on for 30sec and goes into sleep mode! Any suggestions as to why this might be happening? Thanks....

I assume you have checked your sleep settings in System Preferences>Energy saver
I also assume this has just happened recently and spontaneously, not after installing any particular hardware or software or you would probably have mentioned it...if anything new has been added recently, obviously just remove it!
It could be the battery - have your tried it just on mains? If it's a pre unibody MacBook try it without the battery at all. This could happen if you have a non-Apple (cheap Chinese) replacement battery.
Try NVRAM, PRAM & SMC resets (Google if you don't know how)
Try booting from the install media and repairing or reinstalling OS X. (Back up first!)
Just out of interest if you boot from a DVD or go into Open Firmware or Boot Select modes, does it still sleep after 30 seconds or is it just in OS X?

13" MBP died. Only a black blank screen and blinking lights are visible. Any ideas??

My friends MBP died the other night. He put it on sleep mode one night and the following morning, and when he went to turn it on the following morning it would't. Only a black blank screen and blinking lights. There is no sound or anything. BTW it is a mid-2010 MBP, no added hardware, everything stock. It wasn't custom configured, and I believe he upgraded to Lion earlier this year. I read somewhere that depending how quickly the lights are blinking could indicate a specific problem. Is this true? He is planning on taking it an Apple store, but figured we would try here first since it is a bit of a drive, and the warranty has expired. Any help would be greatly appreciated. We are just trying to get an idea of what we are dealing with. Thank you!

Looks like hardware problem.
Apple can fix it. Take it to Apple as soon as possible.

My ipod is 4g and only a few weeks old and it broke, will the replace/repair it for free?

my ipod is 4g and only a few weeks old, and i dropped it a week after and got a tiny crack and it worked fine. then two weeks later(yesterday) it fell off of this planter and when i picked it up i expected if to be all cracked and shattered, but it was in great shape, then in the car i tried to use it, adn it was off. so i tried turning it on, resetting it, connecting it to power, and everything. it wont be detected in itunes either, so i dont know what happened. will they replace it since its only a few weeks old? and i looked at my service and support coverage and it said that the warranty is still active, and on the support-repair-pricing page in small print it reads:
Warranty service for eligible repairs is available at no charge for twelve months from the date of purchase.
so willl they fix/replace it? pllease help asap

The warranty also excludes:
(d) to damage caused by accident,
abuse, misuse, liquid contact, fire, earthquake or other external
cause;
That is your case.
