I updated to Ubuntu 12.10 and firefox wont work anymore

Ok, so, I updated my Ubuntu from 11.10 to 12.10. Now firefox will not work. All it will load is stuff in the first tab. If you open another tab and try to navigate away from the tab page, or if you open a link in another tab it just refuses to navigate away from the tab page. What is going on here? I mean, it worked perfectly in 11.10, what happened?

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 or otherwise make changes.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Creating a profile":

There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

Safari and Firefox wont work on my work server

When I am at work using my macbook on the wireless server certain web pages will not load on both safari and firefox. Other people here have the same computer as I do but do not have the same problem. Images will not load in my emails and websites like Amazon, Target, etc will not load properly. I know that I am allowed to access these websites since my coworkers are able to on their computers.
I was wondering if I have to change the settings somewhere. The weird thing is that when I am at home using a wireless network the images and pages load perfectly fine.
any suggestions?? thank you!!

When you say don't work, try totally shutting down the apps, double click the home buttons and then find the Safari and Youtube apps hold your finger on the the apps for a few sec then tap the red minus sign. Then try to use the apps.

Connected to internet - IE and Firefox wont work

I am connected to the internet, Safari and MSN work. When I try to get on FireFox or IE it says my connection is being interrupted. I had just downloaded Microsoft Office, and the problems started after that.
I checked my firewall to see if that was the problem, but it is not even enabled.
Any suggestions on what is blocking these two programs?

Hello daroberts02!
I just want to remind everyone to either purchase Microsoft Office software in the box or download from Microsoft.com. Downloading from any other source puts your system at grave risk for malware infection and is likely non-licensed or pirated software.
daroberts02, if you are using Microsoft XP or Vista operating system (OS) you can try using Windows System Restore if enabled on your computer (Start> Programs> Accessories> System Tools> System Restore) to perform a system roll back before your download. Otherwise, if you would like convenient options for a resolution, call 1-800-GEEKSQUAD, chat with an Agent on GeekSquad.com or locate a Geek Squad® Precinct near you. Let us know how we can be helpful!

Please help! I have been trying to update iTunes 10.5.3 and it wont work?

Please help! I have been trying to update my iTunes for a few months with no luck! I click install and it will make it to 10% then tells me it has been interupted, so i resume and then it pops up with "iTunesSetup.exe couldnt be downloaded." I have done the repair thing and still nothing! This is driving me crazy!! I need iTunes updated to update my iPhone.

If your profile is correct you are using 10.6.8 Snow Leopard. The latest iTunes version for that OS is 11.3.1 If your profile is wrong and you have 10.9.5 Mavericks, then the iTunes version is 11.4. You cannot use Mavericks versions on Snow Leopard.

Yosemite update to Mac pro keyboard and mouse not working anymore

Updated to Yosemite on my Mac pro, worked perfect for about 2 weeks then my keyboard and mouse stopped responding, both keyboard and mouse were replaced and still won't work. The computer turns on but won't respond to the USB mouse &Keyboard. Help

I have seen 2 out of the 6 mac pro's in my office do this. I am about to go to the apple store to show them.
When the computer is doing this I have tried using every wired apple keyboard in my office and none of them work. If I try the same keyboards on a windows computer or my macbook they work fine. If I use any non apple usb keyboard they work fine. My problem is if I turn the computer off for a few hours the usb apple keyboard works again so when the computer has been off all night and I pack it up to take it to applecare it is working by the time I get into the store.
I think there is a small flaw in usb port on the mac pro or the apple keyboard that when heated up from use stops the pins from contacting completely. It might be a manufacturing defect and it might be an unintended problem caused by how apple slightly modifies their USB ports.

MacBook Air 13", Keyboard and Trackpad wont work anymore. Any suggestions?

Hey my new Macbook Air 13" 1,8Ghz had a defect with the keyboard and trackpad. None of these input devices can work, therefore i am not able to logon to my system. Has anyone similar problems, or a solution for my problem?

This is not likely to be an issue with the OS version - if the keyboard and trackpad are both inoverative, there isn't a setting or system property in Lion that could cause it.
I would try an SMC reset - it's detailed in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US but the procedure for a macBook Air is:
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.
If that doesn't help, and given the lack of responsiveness from the keyboard it may not, and assuming the laptop was bought through an authorised Apple reseller, the warraty should be valid and is worldwide, so it should be possible to have it examined by Apple or an Approved Service Provider in her area.

Safari and firefox stop working after a few minutes of browsing, regardless of what site I'm on. I have to restart my computer to get internet access again but it only works for a few more minutes, then I have to restart again. Please help!

Safari and firefox stop working after a few minutes of browsing, regardless of what site I'm on. I have to restart my computer to get internet access again but it only works for a few more minutes, then I have to restart again. I don't get a spinning ball, it just stops working at whatever page it's on. I can close the program just fine but when I re-open it, either safari or firefox, it freezes trying to load the hompage. This started a few days ago after trying to stream a movie on my computer. I'm on a Mac Air OS X Version 10.6.8 and have downloaded all updates. When I go into finder, it says I have over 80 gigs available. Is there some other memory cache that I need to check? Thanks so much for your help.

It's not a router problem as I explained in my post. If it was a router problem then I wouldn't have the problem everywhere I go. It is an issue with the software.
Then I guess the millions of people running 10.5.7 with no issues are just hallucinating that their machines are working fine?
I'm not trying to belittle your issues; you're certainly having them and I know first hand how annoying an intermittent AirPort issue can be. (In fact, mine was due to an AirPort driver bug that no one else seemed to suffer from.)
The single best diagnostic you could do is take your system running 10.5.7 to an Apple Store, and try using their in-store network.
If your machine performs flawlessly, it may be a router issue.
If your machine has connectivity issues there, it may be a hardware problem with your machine.
There have been numerous people in multiple threads over the years who swore that an update was buggy because things used to work, but returned later to sheepishly admit that they took their machine in, a problem was found and fixed, and now their Mac works flawlessly with the newer software.
But simply reinstalling 10.5.5 in no way means the explanation of how firmware bugs may be at play here is incorrect.
In the context of that explanation, all you've done is possibly reinstall software that asks to add "2 + 3."

While updating my ipad to new software through itunes it got stuck and does not work anymore - it just displays the screen with symbols of itunes and the cable to connect to it - help - what should i do?

Disconnect the iPad, do a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is 'appsolutely' safe!, reconnect and follow the prompts.
If that does not work then see here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

I was in the middle of updating to 7.0.3 and Itunes stopped working. Now my phone is stuck in limbo (apple logo with status bar under) My power button doesnt work (of course) How do I get it back to normal?

I have same issue. I click on the home button and Wake/sleep at the same time for 30 seconds or more and then the phone entered in Recovery mode. It is erasing my content now and installing the update. Let´s see how this ends. I have iCloud, iTunes match, and backups from previos versions, hope I can restore all my content.
Otherwise I´ll go to the Genius Bar to do a checkup.
Good luck!
It did not work the first time... The iPhone4 kept in limbo. Then I did disconnect as suggested above and tried again to enter in Recovery mode. This second time it works. And after restoring the iPhone4 with 7.0.3, it asked me if I want to recover from backup. I did recover from my latest back up and now it is syncing the content.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
This is the image contained in the file causing the problem...
I certain the original is contained in the Combo updates and on the OS disks.
As a temporary fix, click on the image above to open it.
Use Screen capture (Shift+Command+4) and click on the opposite corners of the image.
It will be saved as a Screen shot 2011-mm-dd at hh:mm.png
Right click on the filename in Finder and rename it to mwmac_white.png
I'm not certain, but the file might need to be moved into the Documents directory in the Subdirectory named for the website name you are editing. That's where it is on my system, but I moved a bunch of files when I restored from Time Machine about 18 months ago.
I also have many copies of mwmac.png, a separate copy one for each web page where the image appears in my website.

Keyboard and mouse wont work unless booted in safe mode.

So my keyboard and mouse wont work at all when i start up normally, so i coudnt even log on, then i tried safe mode and i was able to use the mouse and keyboard and log in, then when i loged in i got some messages:
*+System extention cannot be used+*
+The system extention "/system/library/extentions/IOUSBFamily.Kext" was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the products vendor for an update.+
And 2 others: MicrosoftMouse.kext and msdosfs.kext
Im pretty sure how i got this problem, i was using bootcamp and i got this program called MacDrive (bad Idea)and it corrupted my HD or something so i had to use disk warrior to fix it. I also used disk utility in safe mode but there were no errors it said.
and this is probably a hardware problem but i cant use DVD's anymore, my drive will only read CD's now, must be broken....
so ya, i dunno what to do exept get my drive fixed and to a backup and reinstall OS...

Hi
There are no many options which could solve this problem.
It can be a hardware problem or software related issue.
Can you use the internal keyboard within the BIOS?
Check this.
If this would not be possible, I assume the hardware is faulty.
Additionally I recommend testing the keyboard and touchpad using the factory settings.
Recover the notebook and check if the keyboard would functions. Otherwise you will need an helps from an notebook technician in order to replace the keyboard and touchpad
