I'M TRYING TO GET INTO YAHOO GROUPS AND GET A "CONNECTION HAS BEEN RESET..." TYPE MESSAGE??

I'M SORRY FOR THE CAPS BUT I HAVE OLE EYES, ARTHRITIS AND CARPEL TUNNEL!!!!
I STARTED HAVING THIS PROBLEM A FEW WEEKS AGO AND IT HAS PROGRESSED TO TOTALLY BLOCKING ME FROM GETTING INTO MY YAHOO GROUPS AT ALL!!! EVERY TIME I TRY IT GIVES ME THIS SAME MESSAGE AFTER IT TELLS ME AT THE BOTTOM THAT IT IS CONNECTED TO THE GROUP -
The connection was interrupted
The connection to groups.yahoo.com was interrupted while the page was loading.
The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
THE CONNECTION IS OK - BUT I DON'T KNOW ABOUT FIREWALLS AND PROXY THINGS BUT I GET ALL THE OTHER SITES I LOG TO!
THIS ALSO KEEPS HAPPENING WHEN I TRY TO ACCESS FACEBOOK BUT IT DOES LET ME IN SOMETIMES?!?!
I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO OR WHERE TO LOOK ON MY SYSTEM TO FIX THIS (NEED COMPUTERS FOR DUMMIES 100!!!! 101 IS TOO ADVANCED!!!!) I'M ON AN HP 2000 NOTEBOOK PC WITH WINDOWS 8.
THANKS FOR ANY HELP!!!!

You can use the NoSquint extension to set font size (text/page zoom) and text color on web pages.

It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.
If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: Firefox > Quit Firefox; Linux: Firefox/File > Quit)

  • After updating my Iphone 4s to os 7.1.1 ota, my phone went into recovery mode. Yet when I try to restore it with Itunes on my windows 7 laptop it says the network connection has been reset! My phone has the itunes logo and charger symbol on it .

    After updating my Iphone 4s to os 7.1.1 from 7.1 over the air, my phone went into recovery mode. Yet when I try to restore it with Itunes on my windows 7 laptop it says the network connection has been reset. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network is active, or try again later. My phone has the itunes logo and charger symbol on it, as well as an arrow pointing at the Itunes logo. After holding the sleep button down or even doing the hard reset the same screen comes up on my phone regardless of whether it is plugged in or not to my computer. I have turned my computer off and on again. It is plugged in and charging as it's battery life is very short. I also reset my modem and the same error message pops up. The only option on my computer when my phone is plugged in is to restore it. My firewall also allows Itunes through it. I have literally tried everything I know being someone who knows very little about technology. I also do not want to hear about how the update worked for other people. My phone has been in recovery mode for 5 hours at least now so it will just make me more frustrated if a bunch of people post about how the update worked for them.

    Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything... and you must continue with the Recovery...

  • I am constantly getting hte "connection has been reset" message. I followed instructions in the help section for this & now it's worse. I am using 6.0. Please help!

    I cannot do anything online because I constantly get the "connection has been reset" message. This has never happened before. I followed instructions on Firefox help page for this message and it only made it worse!

    Firefox 2.0.0.20 is the last ever version of Firefox for Win98 / SE / ME.
    You can get it from here, but you are better off using K-Meleon (derived from Firefox) or Opera instead an old version of Firefox:
    [ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/2.0.0.20/win32/en-US/]
    You can try KernelEx to get Firefox 3+ to work, but it would be very slow with an old PC of less than 750Mhz. 3.5 and later supposedly doesn't work.

  • Cannot get into Yahoo answer website, why? this has happen before , what shall I do?

    I am trying to get into Yahoo Answer website and it keep telling me sorry cannot find what you are looking for. also have problems getting into a State of Kansas website too. what going on?

    Connect to the computer you usually sync to and restore:
    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone and iPod touch software.
    If the issue continues after updating and restoring your device, refer to this document.

  • HT5622 seems like every 3-4 days I get an email from Apple saying your password has been reset,if you didn't change it go to etc'

    ipad 4
    ALmost every few days I get an email from Apple saying your password has been changed.... if you didn't change please go to Apple and change your id password
    I have had to do this for the 7th time in 4 weeks

    If you are receiving e-mail messages that indicate that someone is trying to reset your Apple ID password, they may be phishing scams. Do not click any links in those e-mail messages, and if you make the mistake of doing so, do not provide your current Apple ID password on the page you are directed to.
    Unfortunately, in this case, there's nothing to be done except treat those messages the same way you would any other spam.
    The other possibility is that someone is actually trying to reset your Apple ID password. This may be due to a malicious attack, but more likely, it's just someone who thinks your Apple ID is actually theirs (due to a typo, faulty memory or something similar) and is trying to "regain" access. In any case, this is merely an annoyance, but you can put an end to it by enabling two-factor authentication on your Apple ID. This will require an additional piece of information that only you will possess in order to even start the password reset process.
    If you are actually seeing your password getting changed, and are having to reset it yourself to regain access, you are being hacked. This could be because your password is not strong enough to withstand a brute-force attack by a botnet. It could also be because the attacker already has access to your e-mail address, and is able to intercept the reset e-mail and complete the reset process. Because of that danger, you should change the password for the e-mail account associated with your Apple ID. You should also change the password for your Apple ID, making sure that it is a strong password, and enable two-factor authentication as mentioned above.

  • My unibody macbook (latest 2010 model) wont connect to my home wifi. When it does which is rare, it is very slow. I have tried everything from renewing DCHP lease and such. This has been going on for two months.

    It will not connect but my other apple devices can connect and the wifi works very well. I have moved houses to my house wifi isnt the same as the old one. Also, i have to type in the password every time even if i click autosave. Sometimes it also says invalid password or connection timeout. This has been going on for two months and is getting really annoying. I've tried most of the solutions listed on other discussions, none of them work. Any other tips? Thank you. Ps i've had this macbook for 3+ years

    Two questions:
    1. Your profile says OS 9.2.x. Is that correct?
    2. Impossible to provide "other" tips without knowing what you have aleady tried. What have you tried?

  • How do I get into a disabled phone If the code has been forgotten?

    My son changed his code to keep his brother out, and either enteres it wrong or is remembering it incorrectly.
    I have never had to deal with this before and I'm not sure what to do.
    He tried multiple codes and is now locked out for 60 minutes.
    How many times can you even try?
    The device is a new iphone 5 and hasn;t yet been synced to itunes.
    What's next?

  • I'm trying to change my apple ID and it says it has been verified, but it still will not change on my phone, so I cannot access my iCloud or iMessage, what am I supposed to do to fix this problem?

    I have been trying to change my Apple ID for my iPhone account because the e-mail on there is an old e-mail that I cannot use anymore. I have went on the website and went through all of the steps of changing it, and I've changed everything to my updated e-mail and verified it as well. On my phone, it still has my old e-mail address, and keeps popping up any time I try to access iCloud, iMessage, etc. that my password or e-mail is invalid. I'm not sure why it's not changing on my phone or what other steps I'm supposed to take in changing it.

    If they are no longer in your camera roll, save them to your camera roll before deleting the account (open your my photo stream album, tap Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon -- box with upward pointing arrow, the tap Save to Camera Roll).

  • I have the following problem: I try to open Google, Youtube or some other pages and I can't use them. All I get is the "Connection has been reset" message. Help?

    The only way I'm able to use Google and YouTube is by using HTTPS, but the thing is that by using HTTPS, I can only use SSL Google, which lacks Images and several other useful features.
    As for YouTube, it's perfectly normal.
    Wikis load like snails, and some don't even load at all. Not even with the HTTPS. Also, when I try to update Java, it tells me that my Internet Connection Settings are wrong. Not sure if that's the problem, though.
    If it's any plugin I'm missing, I'll gladly install it (just don't trick me into viruses, please).
    I've already cleaned my cookies (15 times, no kidding), checked the firewall, etc.
    I haven't checked my Internet Settings because I don't want to screw things more than they already are. But I doubt that's the problem.
    I checked for viruses, spyware, and the like, but my anti-virus software (ESET) detected nothing.
    I've also went to the Network "Repair" in "My Computer" and restarted my PC twice.
    I really need things back to normal, so any help would be really appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • TS1424 What do you do when you get an error message that says "Network connection has been reset"?

    I tried to purchase a song through iTunes just now, and received the above error message about the network connection being reset. I also can't download to iTunes several Apps that have been purchased on my iPad and iPhone. I am using a PC with Windows 7.  Thoughts?  Thank you.

    Disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall during the download and update usually resolves the timeout error.

  • Keep getting a message in iTunes that "network connection has been reset"

    cannot process info or something like that. Any clues as to what might be the problem or is there just an iTunes issue tonight.

    I'm sorry i can't be of help but i can relate because I'm having the same problem.
    The error message occurs when I login to buy music and says:
    "We could not complet your iTunes Store request. The network connection was reset. Make sure you network connection is active and try again."
    I'm having no internet problems at all... maybe this error is due to the recent patch/update? i bought music a couple days ago and was fine, and now I can't log in. HELP!
