It happens with many sites on a daily basis and is so annoying that I'm considering going back to Explorer. Sometimes the site appears and so does the box (sometimes with multiple boxes and I must delete each one before I can continue. On other occasions I'm blocked and cannot open the page

  • I keep getting an error window saying that this URL is invalid and cannot be loaded. If I exit this window the page loads or the error message reappears a few times then the page loads. Frustrating. Started about 9 months ago.

    This only seems to happen using FF3.6.6, not IE.
    The page will eventually load but it may need this error closed a few times. Some pages load without problems. I'm using XP SP3 on an Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 3Gb.
    Also after a recent FF update on an Apple MacPro 8 core (about 2-3 months ago) , OS10.5 - I keep being asked to approve the use of a couple of fonts despite ticking "do not ask again"....

  • I get a "URL is invalid and cannot be loaded" message, and will not load any web pages

    I use Firefox to get onto the internet but when the Firefox page comes up I get a small pop up on the screen that says "URL is not valid and cannot be loaded". I try to type what I am searching for in the google or yahoo search bar and this same pop up still occurs. I cannot go on any websites at all. Help!

    Hi. I'm a Mac user. After entering the redemption code from Adobe Photoshop CC, I keep getting an error saying "This card was purchased in a country that does not match your Adobe ID. You can try signing in with a different Adobe ID or get in touch with us if you need help." What should I do?

    Did you purchase the software in another country than where you live?

    I keep getting a message saying this accessory is not optimised for this iPhone, what does this mean? I haven't downloaded anything

    If you are getting it when your iPhone is not connected to anything it probably means there is line/debris that is causing a short between the pins on your dock connector. Get a soft brush and clean it.

    My icloud emails arent arriving most of the time and a few days ago my iphone and ipad started showing "Can't Get Mail" box. This has not happened before since I set up the iclud email address with the purchase of my ipad about a month ago.

    That's one of the weird things.. it recognizes it maybe 10% of the time. And usually, only after I do the two-button reset. Problem is.. since it won't charge above 2%, anytime I try to do a restore or anything like that using iTunes, my device shuts off and I lose whatever progress I'd made.
    So, an update... after reading through a bunch of similar complaints (there are literally 1000's of them so there's NO WAY this isn't somehow ios7 related, thanks a lot APPLE ) I decided to try a restore in recovery mode. After 3 hours and several disconnections... I ended up having to just set it up as a new iPad, as the restore did nothing. Weirdly though... as I was doing the restore in recovery mode.. I noticed I'd gotten up to a 10% charge.. higher than it's been since September, so after setting it up as a new device, I turned it off and plugged it in using the wall charger. 2 hours later and I was up to 38%. Still not great, as my iPad, before ios7 could've fully charged twice in the amount of time it took for me to now get 28% more of a charge. And that's with a fully cleaned out device.. so that really ***** and I'm now more confused than ever.
    But I'm gonna leave it overnight charging and see what I come up with tomorrow. Sadly, when I paid $600 for it in February, I never expected to have to play "wait and see" with it...

  • Dialog box says-"Bridge encountered a problem and is unable to read the cache. ... purge central cache" For one, I can't find the central cache and two, I've purged the cache in bridge. Shouldn't that help.

    Our Bridge has been acting very strange. It keeps giving a dialog box of "Bridge encountered a problem and is unable to read the cache. ... purge central cache" For one, I can't find the central cache and two, I've purged the cache in bridge. Shouldn't that help? There's just all kinds of weird stuff going on. I suppose it does have something to do with the central cache, so maybe someone can tell me where to find it.
    When I use the burn/dodge tool sometimes it drags and staggers and takes forever to complete whatever I'm burning/dodging. When I try to delete an image from the dock, it won't disappear but it won't display either.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    The Central Cache is the Bridge Cache.
    It's referred as the Central Cache to differentiate it from the individual folder's cache or even the individual image cache.

  • This workbook is corrupt and cannot be loaded

    Hello All,
    I am on SAP GUI 7.20 (Patch Level 1) -- SAP BW 7.0 (Service Pack 19) -- BEx Analyzer 7.20 (Support Pack 2, Patch 1) -- Microsoft Excel 2010.
    1. I tried saving a new query that I had created in BEx Query Designer 7.20 (Support Pack 2, Patch 1) .......... into workbok in BEx Analyzer. So this is an abosultely new query and I opened it in Excel 2010 and then I tried saving it as a workbook.
    2. Then I log out off BEx and log back in. Then I go tried opening the new workbook that I had created and I get the error message " The workbook is corrupt and cannot be loaded". I tried saving other queries into workbooks and tried to open them.... but I am getting the same error for all of them.
    3. But strangely, already existing workbooks are opening fine.
    Is there any logical explanation behind this issue? BTW, I saw Note# 1498919 and its related to my problem. In that note, it talks about problems when moving from Excel 2007 - 2010, but here I am already in 2010.
    If anyone has faced this problem or has some suggestions .... please advise.

    Patrick,
    I found a solution to the problem. Just as you, I'm running  "SAP GUI 7.20, Patch Level 7" and "BI Addon SP4, Patch 2 and are using Excel 2010.
    You need to go to "Excel options" -> "save" the you have to choose "always save in this format" set it to "97-2003" and now it works. you can create and open your workbooks in Excel 2010. I know is not the best solution but it works and you can always reset your settings after using Excel for Analyzer.
    I hope you can use my advise.
    Best regards

  • I keep getting dialog box saying " The itunes Library file cannot be saved. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation"  I am the only user on this computer and only one library! how do i change access privileges please?

    hi I keep getting the dialog box " The iTunes Library file cannot be saved. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation"
    How do i  amend this  as i only have one account and one library. I cannot save new work or delete duplicate files

    A belated reply, as the problems itunes has have discouraged me from using it much. If you uncheck the "read only" box, it doesn't stay that way! Next time you use it, the box comes up checked.
    I'm still having that problem, even when I open iTunes as administrator.
    I've yet to see the answer to this problem. I use itunes mostly to download audiobooks, and I'm ready to download more, and want to save them!

    when I click to open the internet through Mozilla Firefox, I get this message; "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000006). Click on OK to terminate the application."
    When I do this, I have to click on it twice before the box goes away. I still can't access the internet through Mozilla.
