The Reset feature adds a folder on your desktop named Old Firefox Data. I recommend hanging onto that for a few weeks in case you discover something essential that the Reset feature left behind.
This article has a list of what is migrated and what is not during a Reset, in case you're curious: [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]].

    Hi,
    I lost my airport connection when I was using internet and when I wanted to re-reconnect to airport it gave me connection timeout error, I changed my password on router but still doesn't work. How can i fix my problem?

    Hello there hastibahreini,
    It sounds like you were using your Wi-Fi network from your Airport base station and the connection cut out. You have reset the password on the device but the issue persists. I would try the 3 resets outlined in the following article in order to help resolve the issue. If it persists, is the Wi-Fi connection issue happening on more than one device or computer?

  • Despite ticking the box "remove all website data", when I reset Safari not  all stored cookies are eliminated. How can I overcome the problem? Or is it a bug?

    Despite ticking the box "remove all website data", when I reset Safari not  all stored cookies are eliminated. How can I overcome the problem? Or is it a bug?

    I have done a little experimenting: 1-close all open windows (I found that I had to do this step in order to keep Safari from hanging-will be explained later). 2: Remove all data in Prefs. 3: Immediately close the prefs window (no window should be open at this point) and quit Safari. Try to complete step 3 fast as possible; I have it down to a few seconds. The reason I urge you to close all windows is that Safari hangs until forced to quit upon immediately quitting after removing cookies. I think the auto page reload in Lion is the cause of these hiccups but I can't be sure about that. The hasty quit I found is crucial to success. Don't know why that is but it could prevent the data from re-populating. A quick flush, if you will.  Hit me back if you need any of my suggestions clarified; a bit wordy, I know

        Lmercer81,
    Thanks for the update! Let's continue to take a closer look. What model phone do you have? Do you have any bars of signal on the device? Has this effected data or text? Are you able to receive incoming calls?

  • HT4943 Error during download - I keep getting this error message when installing or updating apps

    I subscribed to wired magazine and I am trying to download the first mag, however I keep getting an error message stating "error during download, try again later". I also get an error message when trying to resume paused updating of apps. I've tried turning ipad2 off and then on again but this doesn't  work. Can anyone help?

    There are all basic troubleshooting steps that have worked for other users in the past that were having problems downloading and updating apps. YMMV .....
    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
    You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
    You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.

  • I started getting Operation canceled when I deleted Firefox 4 beta version from my computer. How do I fix the problem?

    I ran Firefox 4 beta version on my computer for about 2 weeks. When I loaded something from my e-mail program it would take me to the beta version. I was having problems with the Face Book book program Mafia Wars when I used the beta 4 version. I deleted the beta 4 version so I could use the 3.6 version I started receiving the Operation Canceled message. This occurs when trying to go to a website from my Outlook e-mail program.

    Thanks for posting back, Glad it worked.
    There are the two entirely separate methods of resuming with the previous tabs. As mentioned in the first part of my message, the method you have chosen is to specifically start with the last set of tabs instead of starting with a home page.
    The other method is to (maybe more as a one off) select to open with previous tabs from either the button in the default page, or from the history menu. It is this method that previously had the question as you closed down, there is no longer the question asking if you want to save the open tabs, although you do still get the option to use them on startup. It is a more sensible method, but it does cause concern for those of us used to being asked on closedown.

  • HT4623 My daughter update my iphone using her itunes acct., which caused all her apps to download onto my iphone. Now when it asks for my password it has her email address instead of mine. How can I fix the problem?

    My daughter was updating her iphone to the iOS6 and everything went great. So, she was going to update mine. She used her itunes acct. instead of mine and it downloaded all her music and apps onto my iphone. Now when it asks for me to enter my password, it has her email address. How can I fix this???

    plug your iphone into your computer with your itunes account signed in to update it, (if you want your own apps ect.) if all you want to do is change accounts signed in on the iphone than simply open settings and scroll down until you see itunes and app stores touch the apple id tip top and signout, sign yourself in. any apps she has "purschased" that you have not.. i imagine will just cease to work.
    if you both share the same contacts, it won't be a big deal, however if you have work and her shcools numbers ect, and she just has mom/dad/buddies you may have double numbers and apps and what not by doing this, so if it does become a mess.. just get on itunes log into your account by clicking the store menu in itunes and going down to the account id on the bottom of that menu and just restore your phone.

  • I keep getting graphics errors codes when trying to run simple things

    In a nutshell, I bought a laptop, installed the game "Spore", and played it FLAWLESSLY. A couple hours later the computer started acting up, and turns out the hard drive is bad (a scanned it through a usb device on another computer and it had many
    bad sectors) So I buy a new Hard drive, install Windows 7 Ultimate on it, and updated the graphics drivers and installed the latest version of DirectX on it, but now when I try to play Spore, I keep getting the error "could not create the graphics device.
    Direct X is not available. [1002]" and when I try to use windows movie maker I get the error message: "Windows movie maker cannot start. Make sure your computer meets the minimum system requirements before trying to start Movie Maker again, and then
    try to update the drivers for your video card if Movie Maker still doesn't start."
    I used the DxDiag tool and for some reason the apporox total memory (for my graphics card) read n/a. 
    my standard VGA Graphics Adapter (AMD ATOMBIOS) has up-to-date, Digitally signed drivers
    my hardware acceleration is turned all the way up
    I have the latest version of DirectX installed
    I have an I7, 4GB of RAM, this laptop has incredible modern features.... why can't I get simple things to work when I exceed the system requirements by so far, AND I'VE USED THEM IN THE PAST ON THIS MACHINE???... the
    only reason I bought this laptop was so I can use movie maker faster and play games.... Thank you for your tech knowledge....
    -Lucas

    Windows 7 includes DirectX 11 in its baseline and it is not necessary to install another version of it.  Your problems may be caused by the installation of the version of DirectX you installed.  Uninstall the one you installed and see if you
    still have the errors.

  • I keep getting a Icloud pop that needs my password and it won't go away. How can I fix this?

    I keep getting the pop up message: "Photo Stream- Photos for the iCloud account .....cannot be accessed. Review your account information in System Preferences". It just keeps popping up over and over and over again and every time I try enter my password or try to reset my password it says it is incorrect. I've reset my password so many times now and it never takes. If I sign out of iCloud will any of my photos be deleted on my Macbook? When I try to sign out, it threatens me that it will delete any photos that have not been uploaded to the cloud. I think it has become self aware. Apple...is Skynet...anyway, what in the wide world of sports can I do to get this (!*$^# pop up to go away?!?!?! I'm starting to think my warm, happy family photos aren't worth this fiendish pop up.

    I have the same issue. My computer has also slowed down. I hope this isn't a malware. I haven't input my password into it, and dont know what I did to turn this on.
    Hope someone else can give some insight

  • This is an error from my HP scanner. How can I fix the problem? An error has occurred saving the file because it could not be written to. Check the properties for the file to make sure it is not read-only.

    I recently uploaded the Maverick operating system. I wanted to scan some things on my HP Printer/Scanner and could not . This is the error message I received: An  error has occurred saving the file because it could not be written to.   Check the properties for the file to make sure it is not read-only. I am a novice with the computer and have no one to help. I hope someone knows an easy fix.
    Thank you

    This worked for me:
    "Although it is not a 'fix' for the HP issue, I did find a workaround that helped me. In the Preferences Panel in MacOS X you can pull up the Printer/Scanner preferences and scan directly from OS X. I'd not known of this prior to posting here and it worked like a charm."
    "Of course, HP should still update their software, but it's good to know that Apple has it covered for them."

  • WHAT DOES THIS HOT SYNC ERROR MESSAGE MEAN AND HOW CAN I FIX THE PROBLEM??

    "THE HOT SYNC OPERATION WAS INTERRUPTED.  SOME OF YOUR DATA WAS NOT BACKED UP."
    "(ERROR:  EASNotify.dll failed a confirmation query and cancelled the sync operation).
    HotSync Error:  An application cancelled synchronization or failed to respond to a HotSync notification.  Please ensure that you are not currently editing data using applications such as Palm OS Desktop of Install Tool.  (8009)"
    I have spent hours upon hours trying to figure out what is wrong and why I cannot complete a hot sync with my computer.  I have done a hard reset and reinstalled the palm desktop software numerous times with no luck.  I bought a book on the palm.  No mention in the book about this particular problem.
    Can anyone out there help me with this problem???  I would be forever grateful!!

    Post relates to: Palm TX

    To check which applications are installed on your palm, you can click on the home button on your palm and make sure it says "all" on the top right of your screen. This will show you all the apps installed on your palm. Look through all the applications listed there and see if there is anything extra. You can list them here and I will tell you if there is anything that didnt come with your device when you purchased it.
    You will not need the palm cd to reinstall everything again after you do a hard reset because all the info will be backed up on your computer from your sync. You stated that all the information is on your computer after you sync'd so you dont have to worry about losing it. Once you sync again after performing the hard reset, you will be able to get all the info back again on your palm.
