I like Firefox . Before I buy a new laptop. Windows 8 is being offered on many new computers. I don't want them if I can't have Firefox . What's the fix

I want to know if Windows 8 is compatible with Firefox. If it is not then I don't want computer windows 8. If it is compatible is there something I need to do to make it so???

I have had no luck running Firefox 17 or 18 Beta and Windows 8. Both freeze within 10 seconds of launch. Firefox 16 works fine for me, and I've just downgraded until the issue is fixed. Others have reported the same problem and blamed the problem on Flash, but I don't think that's the issue, at least in my case. It crashes even on non-Flash pages.

  • Need new iTunes but don't want to lose library-can anyone help?

    my mom got an iPod shuffle for her b-day and it needs a new version of iTunes. i'm not sure how to update it and i don't want to do something wrong and lose my music library

    I have an ipod 30gb then i bought a shuffle just because i wanted one. I had to also update my itunes software for that and it kept everything in there perfect. Ive had to update my software many many times actually and nothing ever was deleted.. The only time something was actually deleted was when i didnt update it when it told me to. Id say youd be safe to update it. If you are really worried about it you can back up your music first!!

  • Firefox keeps blocking my webpage from changing to a new page - I don't want it to do this. How to I stock the blocks?

    When working in several different programs (Auctiva is one) I get a message that Firefox blocked my webpages attempt to direct me to a new page. Sometimes I can click allow, but sometimes the message is gone so fast i have No Option. In most cases this page switch is necessary for what I am doing to happen - in Auctivia my listing won't post to eBay for hours if it can't switch pages. How can I stop Firefox for blocking these page switches. It is happening more and more. I have adjusted everything I can think of in settings, but nothing helps.

    I'm sorry I've never done that before - just tell me how to reach about:config!

  • After upgrading to IOS 5 on my iPad only some books in iBooks show content. They were fine before the upgrade. I made a new version in Pages and reinstalled them on the iPad. Still nothing. What is the fix?

    I just got the iBooks update and that fixed the problem, except the book covers look like they were done in a government printing office.

  • HT1212 my screen is broke and cant type my passcode in. plus i never plugged my phone up to this computer. how can i backup my phone so i keep all my information before i buy a new one?

    my screen is broke and can't type my passcode in. plus i never plugged my phone into my computer. how can i backup my phone so i keep all my information before i buy a new phone?

    It's too late for that. Maybe you should consider setting up your next iPhone to backup to iCloud... it happens automatically without user intervention once it's set up. All that's required is a power source for the phone and a WiFi internet connection.

  • Songs in music library downloaded from a CD and synced to my old IPOD are not recognized by my new IPOD classic.  What is the fix?

    Songs in music library downloaded from a CD and synced to my old IPOD are not recognized by my new IPOD classic.  What is the fix?

    If you are using automatic syncing with your old iPod, select that iPod in iTunes and go to its Music tab (next to Summary).  Note how this Music tab is set up.  Maybe you can do a screen shot.
    Now, select the new iPod in iTunes.  Go to its Music tab, like you did for the old iPod.  Set up the new iPod's Music tab exactly like the old iPod, and Apply the change. 
    The music on your new iPod should now match the old iPod.

  • I can't play any purchased movies. Sounds like it is the 6.0 update. So what is the fix? Am I just stuck not being able to use my Apple TV until...?

    I can't play any purchased movies. Sounds like it is the 6.0 update. So what is the fix? Am I just stuck not being able to use my Apple TV until...?

    Sorry I can't help but I have potentially a similar problem.
    We have an Apple TV 3 and after the most recent software update (potentially coincidental timing), our purchased movies & TV shows will no longer play for our US account. We can play previews but that's it. We also tried renting a new movie but that didn't work either. No error messsage, just select play, it thinks about it, then returns you to the same screen again.
    Any help greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

  • Firefox updated to 19.0.2 and now cannot access aol emails...simply will not open; OS windows 7, 64bit -- what's the fix?

    after update to Firefox 19.0.2 supposedly optimized for aol, browser seems to work fine except for aol mail.
    AOL mail opens, however after selecting new mail it will not allow one to open a new email by double clicking the message as is a normal way to open an email. It can be opened by right clicking the selected email message and selecting open in new window; however this mail cannot be replied to, saved or any other option as the option buttons on top of new window are inoperable. What's the fix- never was a problem in earlier versions of Firefox

  • I have an Ipod Touch and i have had it for about 3 years now, the screen has smashed just now and i was wondering if anyone knew how much it will be to replace the screen? I cant afford to buy a new ipod so I just want to replace the screen?

    If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5s. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
    iPod Service Support and Costs
    iPhone Service Support and Costs
    iPad Service Support and Costs
    There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
    1. iResq or Google for others.
    2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit

    Hi it's me rabia and i'm apple user
    I want to change my cell phone because it's having scratches on it and i also feel like its home button did't work correctly
    So i want to know that can i have a new cell phone on replace of this one at any nearby of my house App store without any cost  ?
    But i'm not having any line yet on my phone i use it on net mostly so what is the scene can i have or can't ??
    please inform me soon !

    Is your phone still covered by warranty?  If so, go to your nearest Apple store and depending on what happened, this may or may not be covered by warranty.  If it is, then you can get a replacement exactly as the phone you already have.
    If out of warranty, then there is nothing you can do and you'll have to pay.

  • Lightroom 5 file edited in photoshop cc 2014 does not appear back next to original after save. Is anyone else having this issue? If so what is the fix.  The edited image appears back in lightroom in a new folder.

    Lightroom 5 file edited in photoshop cc 2014 does not appear back next to original after save. Is anyone else having this issue? If so what is the fix.  The edited image appears back in lightroom in a new folder.

    I'm performing a normal "Save", not "Save As". Work flow I'm using is as follows:  Select photo in Lightroom 5.7 >" Edit In" Photoshop CC 2014 > (after working on photo is PS) > Save > close PS. Photo returns to Lightroom 5.7 in a new folder rather than next to the original. Prior to purchasing the monthly plan and upgrading to PS CC 2014, I performed this same work flow using Lightroom 5.6 and Photoshop CS6 without any issues.
    Just for fun... I attempted to move the edited file back into the original folder. I received a prompt that said the file already existed in the original folder, however I can't see it except the new folder that LR created. I tried several different sort orders, etc without any success.
    *** Follow up: Was unable to resolve the issue using Photoshop CC 2014. Uninstalled PS CC 2014 and went back to using Photoshop CS6. Return trips from LR 5.7 to Photoshop is now performing as it should: returning edited photo back to the original folder in LR 5 and placing next to the original image.
    Should anyone have a suggestion on getting Photoshop CC 2014 to do the same, I would love to be educated.
    Thanks for the help, dj_paige.

    I caught my phone 4. Had to buy a new one, lost all contacts, and calendar photos. how can I recover them?

    What does "I caught my phone 4" mean?
    All contacts, calendars, photos etc should be on your computer as the iphone is designed to be synced to your computer.
    Just sync them to your new iphone.

    yes you can do it and not void the warranty.  Those are the only hardware changes that Apple permits.  Instructions on how to upgrade the ram and remove and replace the hard drive are even included in the owners manuals for MacBook Pros.

    Experimental advice (in this particular context) coming up.
    Open your QuickTime control panel (either via the Control panels, or by going "Edit > Preferences > QuickTime Preferences" in the Quicktime Player). In the Advanced tab, uncheck Enable Direct3D video acceleration:
    ... and click OK. Quit and restart the QuickTime Player prior to checking to see if the settings change has had any effect.
