I often am unable to re-open Firefox in my Windows XP based latop after I have just closed a previous session. I have to wait 30 plus seconds or more. I get this message when I try to open immediately
I eventually can open a new session
Firefox does take a little time to close all the files that might be open while it is running (like 5 seconds), but if the process '''''hangs''''' for as long as 30 seconds or more as you said you may have an add-on or a security program that is causing Firefox to take too long to close completely.
[https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox%20hangs#w_firefox-hangs-when-you-quit-it Firefox hangs when you close it]
You need to look in the Processes tab for '''firefox.exe'''. But if you "kill" the process you could lose data. "Session" data is probably the first type of data that could be lost. Also, closing Firefox with a lot of tabs / windows open or rapidly closing tabs or windows immediately before closing Firefox can result in an extended shut down time.

after installing maverick i get this message when i try to open itunes:Unmark the 32bits modus-but i have unmarked it several times!The new iTunes requires 64bits modus so what shall i do?
I upgraded my 2007 iMac (20") to Maverick. Should never have done this! Lost mail, lost my mail archive, lost numerous programs/applications, lost all my installed hardware, spend 4 days on getting it running again with the (supreme) help of Apple Care. However it should not have happened at all!
iMac Computers with less than 4Gb of internal memory (as explained by Apple Care), or less than (estimated) 150Gb of free disc-space should not upgrade! Simple as that and the App Store should warn you about that and not simply let you pick up your free copy of Maverick! -
I did the iTunes update yesterday and now I am getting this message when I try to open iTunes - “This copy of iTunes is corrupted or is not installed correctly. Please re-install iTunes. (-42037) Can anybody help me out resolving this?
Download iTunes using the tab at the top of this page, re-install. Back up your computer first.

I'm getting this message when I try to open iTunes: This copy of iTunes is corrupted or is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. (-42037) What do I do?
Do a back up then try reinstalling.
You should always back up before do an update, upgrade, anything with the system in case something goes wrong. That way you still have a current copy of your data.
Try starting in safe mode, then running the update. This will disable most 3rd party sofwarelike anti virus and other things prople put on their machines that can cause problems.
Safe mode:
Power off, power on holding the shift key, continue to hold until you see the progress BAR then re;ase and allow to finish booting. Note this will take longer than a regular boot. Login and try running software update or use the link here to download. Use an ethernet connection if possible as it is much less prone to corruption than wireless.

After download and install logout and restart normally. -
I keep getting this message when I try to open FCP X. "The storage location 'brianmassman1' on this computer is already in use by 'brianmassman1' on 'Brian-Massmans-Computer-7". To access the location, quite Final Cut Pro on 'Brian-Massmans-Computer-7' or remove the location."
I have no idea what this means. Particularly the part about "Brian-Massmans-Computer-7." I don't even know what computer that is.
I'm guessing it could have something to do with the fact that I've still got FCP 5 installed. But it's not running.Try repairing permission in the Disk Utility and rebooting,

I tried to delete my old version of firefox because it wouldn't open certain websites that safari would, when I download new firefox I keep getting this message when I try to open
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile:

I continuesly get this message when I try to open some 3rd party plugins ?
I have just updated battery to ver 3 its been about 2 weeks now and I have just opened a project and I get this message Error code -1 was returnd by core audio driver . Does any one know what this means ? I have been crippled
G5 Quad G5 dual 2.0 Mac OS X (10.4.8) R.M.E firface 800 Logic 7.2.3 PT 002R PT TDM DP 5.1I would guess that it is a generic error meaning that the audio unit plugin could not be initialised and failed to load - usually due to an installation or authorisation issue in the plugin.
Does the affected plugin work in other hosts, such as Garageband? -
I can not open itunes on my computer. It started when an upgrade appeared. Now I get a message that states This application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem. I tried to reinsall the application but it did not help. I also get a message iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes Error 7 (Windows error 126) Please Help me!
Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

What can I do to get this to work?
We were getting the same error on a Win 7 machine which had Acrobat 7 (running in compatability mode) and Reader X installed. When the user was trying to open the link from an email the error 'There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat.....(0:521) would appear and the pdf would not load.
Investigating the problem I can across an article to uncheck the option "Display PDF in browser" (in the application choose Edit -> Preferences -> Internet). Undertaking this procedure in Acrobat Reader X however, I could not uncheck this and the path the app was showing was for Acrobat 7!?!
Therefore, opened Acrobat 7 and undertook the same procedure. Unchecked the "Display PDF in browser" (in the application choose Edit -> Preferences -> Internet) which I was able to do, saved and closed the application.
Rechecked Acrobat X and the "Display PDF in browser" could be deselected and the path was now for ..\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe
Retried the original email with the link to the pdf and it now opens without error.
Not too sure if this will help but just thought I would share. -
I am running Windows 7 . It happened without any changes being made. I downloaded the install file several different times and even turned off my Kaspersky A/V when I installed.
Perhaps try downloading and saving a copy of the installer to a different (64-bit) PC. Copy the iTunes64Setup.exe installer to an external hard-drive, or a large-enough thumb drive or burn it to a CD-R. Carry the installer back to your PC, copy the installer to your hard drive. (Don't run the install from the ExHD, thumb or CD-R.) Start the install by doubleclicking the iTunes64Setup.exe file.
Does that go through any better for you? -
I am running Windows xp home edition 5.1.2600 and Firefox 3.6.12. I can use gmail in the HTML view, but would prefer the standard view.
Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? <br />

Every time I install iTunes 12 I get this message when I try to open it:"This copy of iTunes is damaged and it has not been correctly installed. Please, install iTunes again.(-42404)".
The instalation process runs smoothly without any error message and iTunes has been installed in my computer before. The problem started with the update no. 12. Any idea what's going on? Thank youif itunes will not run, you probably have mangled windows badly
one feature of windows 8 is the refresh that saves libraries,
because you are using windows 7, you will need to backup all files to another storage device
