I keep getting an alert when I launch Firefox and it won't open websites. Alert below

Get this alert when I try to open new version Firefox I just downloaded. I trashed the old version and re-downloaded and installed new version. Alert meaage: Could not initialize the application's security component. The most likely cause is problems with files in your application's profile directory. Please check that this directory has no read/write restrictions and your hard disk is not full or close to full. It is recommended that you exit the application and fix the problem. If you continue to use this session, you might see incorrect application behaviour when accessing security features.

  • I keep getting this message when I launch PP "Premiere Pro cannot find any capable video play modules"

    I keep getting this message when I launch PP "Premiere Pro cannot find any capable video play modules". I've read through a few threads and made the recommended changes but still no luck, it crashes everytime. I have a Mac Pro 2010 with a Nivdia Quadro FX 4800.

    Hello and thanks for the response. Yes, I've read that post and many others, I still get the same message when trying to open. I've realized there's no way to get tech support for any of the products I'm using. Is there another place hat can help me with this problem? I really wanted to try PP but looks like I won't be able to.
    Thanks

  • I keep getting this message when I launch itunes: The file "itunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes

    Itunes was working fine until i plugged in my 6th gen shuffle.  itunes wouldn't read the pod and it kept showing an error message telling me i needed to uninstall and reinstall itunes.  So i did.  Now, itunes won't open up.  i keep getting the same message, " The file "itunes library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes.  HELP!!! 

    Problem solved by doing the following:
    Open PC/Mac and search for iTunes Library.
    From the list, select the most recent version of iTunes Library. Save this to a folder.
    Delete iTunes from your computer.
    Install latest version of iTunes.
    When I opened the new version of iTunes, everything was there as before.
    I didn't need to import the saved version of iTunes Library. Maybe this happens automatically?????

  • When I close Firefox and then try to open it, it says it is already running and I have to close it which I can't do. The only way to open it is to first restart my computer which is a pain. If I can't fix this I will use an other brouser!

    I am not sure what more I can tell you. I close firefox. So when I click on the icon it should allow me to open it again but I get a message that says it is already running. Either close it out which I can't do since I already did that or restart the computer.

    Try holding control, alt and delete down in succession and then a dialogue box will appear with windows task manager. Once open click on the Processes Tab and look for firefox.exe. Highlight this and then click end process. It should come up with a warning but just click Yes. This should then close firefox and allow you to reopen it from your desktop without shutting down your computer. Hope this helps.

  • I keep getting an error when trying to update and reinstall Acrobat 7.1.4

    I am running Win Vista Home Prem 32 bit.  When I updated to Acrobat Pro 7.1.4, during the update, I get the error "Cannot write to C:\....\ActiveX\iehelper.dll.  Clicking retry doesn't work.  Now my Acrobat doesn't work--it just returns to the installation process, and the same error occurs.
    So, I uninstalled Acrobat Pro with the intention of reinstalling it.  During the reinstallation of AP 7.0, now I get the same error.  I tried to change the attributes of the folder, but I can't do it.  I am logged in as Administrator.  I tried running setup as administrator, but I get the same error.
    Finally, I just tried to delete the folders, hoping that the installer would work right.  I can't delete the Acrobat folder/subfolders.
    I know this is probably a Windows question, but I thought I would try here first.
    Thanks.

    YAY!!! Saved it in my Mac's Firefox Bookmarks for easy future access!
    Hope you are having a lovely afternoon today! I'm about ready to go bobo....I have an early meeting, and I don't want to oversleep! The nice part is that I work remotely, so I only have to wake up 15 minutes or so before the meeting.... I don't even use an alarm clock anymore (really, my iPhone alarm, which is much more pleasant), unless I have to get up at 6:30 or something....

  • Keep getting "invalid url" when searching title bar and built in google search.

    When I use the title bar, or the home page to search using google, i get "invalid url". If I manually type in www.yahoo.com, or any other site, everything works fine. Usually if I restart the computer, everything is normal again. This does no happen all the time, but once it starts, it wont go away. I even restarted in safe mode and then disabled all add ons and still nothing.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode

    You can reset the browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone pref via the right-click context menu to the default on the about:config page and close and restart Firefox to restore the about:home page to its default.
    * Open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location bar
    * Type in the Filter bar: mstone
    * Right-click the browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone line and select: Reset
    * Close and restart Firefox

  • Keep getting 'unidentified error' when entering apple id and password

    Can anyone help.
    Just trying to upgrade to Maverick but when it asks for my apple ID and password I get a message saying unidentified error. All details are correct and double checked.

    Back up all data.Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Reboot and test. If there's no change, restore the item you deleted from a backup, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Otherwise, you may need to recreate some of your settings in the Network preference pane.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • HT4623 I keep getting error 21 when trying to restore and update my 4 day old iPhone 5?

    I try to update and restore my new iphone 5 becasue it is stuck in recovery mode but i come across error 21 message every time during restore. VERY FRUSTRATING as i only got this wonderful product 3 days ago!

    Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 36, 37, 40
    These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.

  • When I launch Firefox 5, two (2) windows open: the "What's New" window and a second window with the correct Home Page. How do I stop the "What's New window from opening when I launch Firefox 5?

    Further: I'm running Windows XP.
    This happens every time I open Firefox 5 and began just after I upgraded to 5.0.
    Note: I've tried suggestions from the various posts in this forum from people who have similar problems, but with no luck. The problem still persists. Does anyone have any suggestions ??

    hello, this might happen when firefox is not able to properly save preferences in its profile folder. please try this: Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and then click help [[Image:Help-29]] > troubleshooting information > profile folder - "show folder". then a new window will open up. in this window look out for a file named '''user.js''' (it might be used to overwrite your custom settings). in case it is present , delete or rename this file and restart firefox afterwards.
    for more information and other steps please also see: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]]
