I looked on my C:\ for plugin-container.exe and deleted the file as it kept slowing down my computor, however now when I load firefox it crashes, how can I re-install this plugin to disable it properly?
My computor had been overly slow which was not normal when looking at processes running in task manager I found plugin-container.exe to be using alot of memory. I looked online and found that this was an update of firefox which was not essential, I then looked on my C:\ drive for the application and deleted it hoping this would solve the problem as I could not find it when looking at my firefox plugins. However now when I open firefox it quickly crashes, how can I reinstall this? Do I need to reinstall firefox completely or is there a more simple solution? I have done the firefox plugin check and it can find no problems.
Probably the easiest way is to download Firefox again from http://www.mozilla.com and re-install it.
If you want to disable plugin-container, see the section on "Disabling crash protection" at http://kb.mozillazine.org/Plugin-container_and_out-of-process_plugins

If someone steals my iPhone and deletes all pictures, that will sync to my Mac. So then all my photos are lost! How do I safeguard against this?
If your phone (plus syncing) is the only place you keep your pictures you are asking for trouble, theft or not. Back up onto an external hard disk which is only mounted when you need it, then nothing external can erase them. Then make use of Apple's facilities for protecting your phone:

Hi there,
I was using MacPro with older snow leopard just now i install OS X LION,before install i backup all deta to time machines about 70GB,now when i connect i dont know how can backup the old deta to OS X LION,but it just backup the recent deta to time machine,pls guide me how i can backup my old deta to my computer??
Will be much appreciated !!
Thanks.>Step 1. Backup existing data using time machine.
Time Machine is nice, but you have very little in terms of ability to verify that your data is all backed up. I find Time Machine is better for the occasional recovery of previously written data at specific times. A good backup solution that survives an erase and install (there is no clean install in Mac OS X), is a clone, and preferably TWO clones. See my FAQ*:
http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
Time Machine can work as good as a clone, and in fact I once had to rely on it because my hard drive died. Thankfully it did recover everything. But I had my clone just in case it didn't work. Now I feel more comfortable since clones allow you to boot themselves, and thus prove all the important system information got saved, and not just the user data.
Clones are also easier to import with the migration assistant. -
The tool bar called MyWebSearch has replaced the Mozilla Firefox start page which is Google. I want to remove it. The Plugin-container.exe is something that I do not know about.
Thank you.
Bernard Mosesplugin-container.exe is an integral part of Firefox, for details on it and how to disable it if you do not want it see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Plugin-container_and_out-of-process_plugins
You can normally uninstall MyWebSearch from the Windows control panel.
# Close Firefox and any other browsers
# In the Windows taskbar, from the "Start" menu select "Control Panel"
# Select "Add/Remove Programs"
# In the list of installed programs select "My Web Search Bar"
# Click "Change/Remove" and you should be asked to uninstall it

Ended process plugin-container.exe and now it refuses to run again
OK WELL plugin-container.exe was using 95% cpu and i basically could not do anything, so i ended the process.
i figured it would run again when i reopened firefox but as you can see this wasn't the case.
So well, now i'm trying to figure out how to get it to work again since i can't even go on youtube without it apparently haha.
I've tried restarting firefox, my computer, manually running it, and uninstalling and reinstalling firefox :/ and nothing is working.
Not sure what to do?Make sure that your firewall doesn't block the plugin-container precess.

Defining event handlers for renaming, moving, copying and deleting of files.
Hi every one.
I had created a tool for InDesign CS6 written using Javascript to manipulate portions of text in nested way by marking them with small non-printing small anchored text frames contains sequenced numbers and storing these portions as snippets in a spicific folder beside the InDesign documents.
This tool is open source and free of charge, the only this that I want from you (after downloading) as a user to feedback and as a developer to improve it and join me.
sourceforge.net/projects/livesnippets
My question is not about this but I want to trace when the user rename, move, copy or delete a file of these snippets or any container folder and interact according to that by reserving the links between snippet files and their instances which interspersed in InDesign documents.
Thanks.Here is an example of using Bridge events… What this scrript will do if you add it to Bridge scripts… is set *all* indesign snippets in the folders you browse to… to be locked/readonly… This means that users will get an extra dialog if they want to delete the file… Finder or Bridge… You can't just rename the file Finder or Bridge… and Bridge's Batch Rename will only function if the user makes copies to new location… You could set this property using the File Object with indesign…
#target bridge
onDocLoaded = function( event ) {
if ( event.object instanceof Document && event.type == 'loaded' ) {
lockIDSnippets();
return { handled: true };
function lockIDSnippets() {
var i, count, doc, thum;
doc = app.document;
count = doc.visibleThumbnailsLength;
for ( var i = 0; i < count; i++ ) {
thum = doc.visibleThumbnails[i];
if ( /\.idms/.test( thum.spec.name ) ) {
thum.spec.readonly = true;
// Register event handler
app.eventHandlers.push( { handler: onDocLoaded } ); -
Installed java and deleted the files---NOT ABLE TO INSTALL java AGAIN
1) I installed jre,jdk1.6 and then without uninstalling i deleted the files.
2) I now want to install java for creating web application.
But I am not able to install. While installing I get a "file corrupted" message and the installation aborts.
What can I do to install java again?With the info provided the best advice I can give is reformat your drive and start fresh.
If that doesn't sound palatable, then you could maybe tell us at least what OS you are running and if you really want help the exact version of the OS.
Then you can tell us what you have already tried. Like running the uninstaller now, installing to a defernt directory, etc.
Also have you tried redownloading the JDK? Maybe the file really is corrupted.
And while file is it saying is corrupted.
Like everything else here, you need help, we don't need to help you, and we can't read minds. So if you are willing to put forth a tiny bit more effort to provide as much info as possible, you are more likely to get a meaningful response with a solution.

My Internet company sent me a notification saying I had a "BOT" virus on my computer and that they would shut down my internet access. They given 28 hours to remove this virus. How Can I remove this thing!?
Flashback is only one possibility. See About the Flashback malware for information about it and how to get rid of it.
Unfortunately, these kinds of problems can happen for a variety of other reasons. There's very little malware that actually can cause a Mac to become part of a botnet. You could have an infected Windows PC on your network. (Perhaps because of a visitor or because you're using an open, unencrypted wireless network and have a "squatter.") Or it could be false positives.
If you do all the checks mentioned on my Flashback page and still can't find any infection, you need to lock down your wireless network (change the security to WPA2 with a strong password) and check out any Windows machines that are on your network.
(Note that my pages contain links to other pages that promote my services, and this should not be taken as an endorsement of my services by Apple.) -
On upgrading to FireFox 4 from 3.6.15, I noticed that my capability.policy.default items in the prefs.js file were no longer working (the custom site that I run locally needs access to this attribute, amongst others) - how can I go about returning this feature back on?
Example CAPS entry:
user_pref("capability.policy.default.Location.href", "allAccess");
I've had to downgrade again to 3.6.15 until I can get this to work.
Tested on Windows XP (SP3), and using existing/new profiles in FF 4.0 and using prefs.js and user.js - nothing can get the Javascript code to read the location.href and getting an error generated in the error console.
Also tested on Mac OS X 10.6.7 with FF 4.0 - still no luck getting capability.policies to work.
Please help...I've been beating my head against this problem for a few hours, and I finally solved it. I'd been trying to set a capability policy using the "magic" default policy, and nothing would work - I could disable properties and functions of the Window object, but not the Location object.
It turns out that if I set a custom policy name, and named the specific sites I wanted the policy to apply to, it works! The only hitch is that you'll have to build a whitelist of sites that are allowed to have this kind of access, instead of allowing any site to access it by default. I think this is prudent security policy, in order to prevent XSS attacks.
So, for your case, instead of this:
user_pref("capability.policy.default.Location.href", "allAccess");
use this instead:
user_pref("capability.policy.policynames", "hrefaccess");
user_pref("capability.policy.hrefaccess.sites", "http://example.com http://www.example.com");
user_pref("capability.policy.hrefaccess.Location.href", "allAccess");
I haven't tested this code, but a similar implementation for my problem did the trick. I hope this helps! -
After a computer crash, how can I re-install my CS5 Production Premium?
My laptop is crashing, and before I do something about it I want confirmation that I can re-install my CS5 Production Premium. I need this suite for work purposes, and I don't care if I have to wipe this laptop as long as I can still get my CS5 back. I couldn't find an answer anywhere, and Adobe showed me to this forum, so here I am asking. I think it's the computer itself, and not Adobe programs causing it, however Illustrator was the first program to not open, and then Photoshop, and then my itunes, Word, picture viewer, and then it all went downhill. Now my laptop is only good for Internet, when it wants to be. Any information/insight is welcome!

I am unable to import all photos to IPhoto on computer. At a certain photo the following message appears: IPhoto cannot import your photos
because there was a problem downloading an image. How can I circumvent this particular image and import all other photos?I'm having the same issue. i have imported everything but the offending photo from my iPhone. problem is, with over 5000 pics, i have no idea how to find THAT ONE pic that won't import (bc I just get a greyed out pic image - with no data in iPhoto)
any idea how to get "date taken" info of THAT ONE pic out of iPhoto (or any metadata) so I don't have to search 3 years of pictures?
