Also, when I try to close firefox and restart it, the process doesn'y get killed with the normal Command + Q in Mac.
I need to use Force Quit instead.
Try updating Flash. You appear to be running an older version dating from September 2010 which might be the cause of the problem. Download from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
If the problem persists after updating, try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it functions properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.

When watching youtube the video randomly jumps to the start of the video even if the cursor is not on the video. This happens randomly and does not seem to be a problem with the videos as they run fine. what is going on?
Several times every day YouTube shuts down some of their servers to update stuff. Be patient if YouTube is slow, stuck or mangled. Transmissions from YouTube to your computer are done in multiple tiny packets of data and flash at a time. That's why sometimes you may get any of these scenarios: bits and pieces of text/thumbnails in weird places; sluggish loading/buffering; the spinning circle going on forever; or the player being blank. This problem could fix itself within a few hours or by the next day.
If your YouTube continues to behave slow, stuck or strange, it's very possible that your directories of "temporary internet files" and RAM (sometimes known as "cache") are close to the maximum and just cannot take anymore, the end result being any of the above scenarios or videos that: A) come to a complete freeze; B) start/stop/start/stop in a choppy way; or C) never even make it onto your screen.
"Temporary internet files" are tiny bits of webpages that get permanently put on your hard-drive. They will remain forever on your computer, gradually plugging it up like hair stuck in a sink drain, until you finally get rid of them once and for all. Thus, exit out of YouTube, then clear your "cache" of all its "temporary internet files", "cookies" and "history". It is best if you shutdown and reboot afterwards. You'll be amazed at how "fresh" and "new" your YouTube will be. -

hey guys ive got issues with my macbook pro that i bought not a year ago, and for the last week its just randomly restarting especially when im watching a video or using finalcut pro x can someone help me?
What do you mean "Leave them my laptop again"? do you mean you have had it worked on before? for the same problem or a different one?
You need to take it in to Apple ASAP. No matter how long they have it, you want it fixed and fixed correctly.

When I switch between tabs the page jumps down about 20 lines. Why? And how do I stop this?
I am running on Mac, OS X 10.9.1 .
When using Firefox if I switch between tabs or open a new tab from a link the page will jump down about 20 lines. This does not happen on all websites. Most notably on Facebook, but a bunch of other sites do it as well.
Help would be nice.

Version 5.0 on a MAC will not let me switch between tabs. I can open a new tab, but when I try to go to a different tab, it just shows me the contents of the tab most recently opened. Help!
Also, pop up blocker works for some time and then just stops working. I have to close and restart Firefox to get it to work again. Help!I had the same problem, but with Firefox 4.0. My first thought was to update Firefox (after of course restarting FF), but that didn't help it and I had the same problem.
Among others, I had an extension installed and enabled called Tile Tabs 4.10 that I thought could feasibly creating this problem. So I went into my add-ons manager and disabled it, restarted Firefox and the tabs worked properly again. Unfortunately, the Tile Tabs extension is my favorite Firefox add-on and I use it almost every day for managing my web work tasks. I went to the add-on page for Tile Tabs and saw that there was a notice that version 4.10 didn't work properly on Mac OS, and to install version 4.9 of the extension. I saw they had a new, not-yet-reviewed version 4.11 that addressed the Mac OS problem, installed it, and everything seems to be working properly.
I have no idea why all of a sudden I had this problem, as I hadn't updated Firefox or the Tile Tabs extension recently. Also, obviously this might not address your problem, especially if you don't have that add-on installed and enabled. But our problem started at the same time for both of us it appears based on your post time, so its probably not coincidence.
But its worth a look, and you might want to check out other extensions if you don't have Tile Tabs that could be causing the problem. -
when i leave my computer alone for a while and i'm signed into ichat, instead of it putting me to away like the settings are set to it just signs me off...how do i fix it? i want it to stay logged on until i sign out
Hi,
This is mostly about what is called Away as a Status and setting an Away Status Message when going Idle.
Idle happens when there has been no Keyboard or Mouse input for 10 mins.
(read as for any Input device like Trackpad, Graphics pad, Trackball etc)
The Bottom section of the General Section of the iChat Preferences is abouut what happens when you go Idle. (The Orange Arrow and Text in the pic Below)
(Your Status indicator will go Amber)
Some of this does depend if you have Set "Block others for Seeing me as Idle " in the Accounts section > Account Info Tab on AIM Logins.
It is also linked to Fast User Switching (your Mac User Account could go Idle whilst you are Logged in as another Mac User Account).
The Blue Arrow and Text points out you can make sure iChat stays at the Last Status (And Message) you used on Quit (The default is for this to be Ticked and iChat to change to Available).
The Red Arrow and Text is about whether you appear as Fully Off line on Quit and Sleep.
On Quit iChat does not fully log you out of the AIM Servers.
You will appear as Off Line to your Buddies but the AIM servers will keep Off Line Messages for you (well, if you have never replied "NO" to the first Off Line IM you ever got)
However it does seem that in certain Combos of these settings that you can "Seen" by your Buddies as Away rather than Off line.
Picture of General Section of Preferences
If you add in to this mix a shorter time than the Idle time to make the computer go to Sleep then you can also create other "states" as well.
So...
In it's default settings:-
1) iChat will always set you to Available on Launch.
2) At 10 mins of no input you will go Idle (Amber)
3) For Fast User Switching you can set iChat to go Off Line or to Go "Away" (A Status Message setting).
(It has been so long I forget what the Default was)
4) iChat is set by default to show you going Idle (See the Accounts section of the Preferences)
5) If you specifically set an Away Status (or Message) then iChat will do whatever is set in the bottom part of the General Section.
6) Sleep will put you Off Line and the "When I Quit iChat, Set My Status to Off Line" option will kick in
The Default is for this to be Unticked.
There is no setting to create going to Away if left alone.
I am not entirely sure on this one though as I think it can be created via "Second Pass" things.
Note:-
Example of Second Pass.
Go to the View Menu and the Sort Buddies option.
If you sort by First Name then the Buddy list is likely to Reorganise itself based on the Address Book Entries.
If you now Sort by Availability it will organise those First Names by Availability rather than reverting to what was set before.
(Screen Names Only Buddies will appear alphabetically in any list)
Now repeat by Sort by Last Name then Availability and you will see that the list is not in the same order as First Names and Availability.
At this point I am not sure exactly what you meant.
The Title bit implies that Sleep was/is getting in the way.
The actual question details leave me wondering what you think you have set iChat to do ?

Why doesn't the rotate gesture on my trackpad behave as it used to for switching between tabs when it works the same with all other programs besides Firefox?
I changed the about:config to make the rotate gesture move between tabs, and it worked great for well over a year. Now it behaves erratically as described here:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=877598
It used to be very controllable to move one tab over, now it is erratic and moves quickly and to unexpected tabs regardless of how slow I do the rotate gesture. This is the main reason I use Firefox over Chrome and I would like to continue to do so unless there is no fix to this.Just set the browser.gesture.twist.threshold to something around 15-25.

When I set black point on windows, the image switches between blank and full image, why?
when I set black point using windows, the image switches between blank and full image, why?
I set black point with alt button down while I move sllider. When black
dots show, I stop and back off a bit. That's the normal result. Normally a
white screen appears until I release the alt key. In my case, sometimes the
screen goes from white to full image. It's not all the time. I view my
power and ram use as I work and it doesn't spike when this happens. It's
as if the alt key command is not holding. I've used both alt keys with
same results.
Thanks for responding. I hope you have some ideas. -

hello, on an ipad 4, when watching a live video stream , came up with a blank picture with the quick time symbol in the middle, the sound worked perfectly but no picture ? any suggestions please ?
We have a solution that allows you to do most of what you want, including bulding the form, having people fill it out either in Reader (as an XFA-PDF) or on the iPad (as an HTML form).
You design the form once, and it will by styled correctly on the appropriate platform.

I have just upgraded to the latest firefox.
I have a problem streaming videos on youtube. Typically, when you stream a video on youtube, you can see on the "timebar", that the video is being downloaded shown in a lighter red, with the solid red the indicating which of the video you're already at.
However, in the latest version firefox, I longer see the streaming (lighter red) on the timebar, so I have no idea how much it has downloaded/streamed. I have updated my flash etc...but doesn't solve the problem. Can anybody help? Thanks!There has been a change in where Firefox searches for plugins and the plugins folder in the Firefox program folder is no longer scanned for plugins, so Firefox won't find them anymore if they are installed in the plugins folder instead of the "browser\plugins" folder that Firefox now scans.
You can set the plugins.load_appdir_plugins pref to true on the about:config page to make Firefox scan the "<install>/plugins/" directory for plugins like the WMP plugin (np-mswmp.dll).
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
You can alternatively move plugins from "<install directory>\plugins\" to "<install directory>\browser\plugins\" (create this folder when missing) to make Firefox find them again.

Why do some youtube videos run for a while and then freeze in firefox
HI i am having a problem with the lasted firefox browser. You see when I go to this website to watch a video witch is through youtubthe video will play for a little bit and then it will freeze but the audio of the video will keep playing but the video will still be frozen. I have went into firefox and I did go into tools and under privacy where it says clear recent history and I did put a check mark into clear catche, cookies, website preferences and push on the continue button. Then I went back to the website and again I did try and watch the youtube video with the same problem as described above. So then I did uninstall Adobe flash player and shockwave player and re downloaded both flash player and shockwave player and reinstalled them again. This changed nothing the youtube video keeps freezing and the audio keeps plays even when the video is frozen in firefox.
edit: I was wondering can your antivirus cause videos from youtube to freeze.
Help would be appreciated please.

Try these tool that may help solve your problem. Sometimes Video loads slowly depending on your network speed subscription from your network provider.
The Refresh feature (called "Reset" in older Firefox versions) can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your bookmarks, history, passwords, cookies, and other essential information.
'''''Note:''' When you use this feature, you will lose any extensions, toolbar customizations, and some preferences.'' See the [[Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings]] article for more information.
To Refresh Firefox:
# Open the Troubleshooting Information page using one of these methods:
#*Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Troubleshooting Information''. A new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
#*If you're unable to access the Help menu, type '''about:support''' in your address bar to bring up the Troubleshooting Information page.
#At the top right corner of the page, you should see a button that says "Refresh Firefox" ("Reset Firefox" in older Firefox versions). Click on it.
#Firefox will close. After the refresh process is completed, Firefox will show a window with the information that is imported.
#Click Finish and Firefox will reopen.

How can I make a "Youtube" style video gallery for offline, '.air' use?
I work for a language company and we've put together a set of videos for use in computers, not online. Currently we're using Apple's Keynote to present our videos to to the student. This has the advantage of allowing us to put videos in a sequential order, with absolutely no work in the development department, and most importantly was easy for any student to control and navigate.
Things have now changed.
Keynote can no longer hold the size of our videos and we are constantly adding and changing videos all the time. Now that CS5 is out, I would like to build a stand alone flash application for our system modeled after the same look and functionality of youtube.
Key features would be:
• Main video player that links to our resident video files
• Something that generates and displays a title for the current video
• A text box below the main video player for notes and instructions
• a side bar of thumbnails for all related videos, with titles displayed
Future features would be an easy way for us to change videos in and out of the library (by "uploading" and "downloading" using a form for the videos, although not to the net, but again, on the resident computer).
It looks like CS5 would make this possible. My plan is to make a youtube-like site using flash catalyst. I think I can do it myself since the first version only needs basic elements and design, but I know I'm going to run into some problems because I'm not sure the limitations of catalyst for this style of interactive video gallery.
What I'm looking for is someone to just quickly guide, tell, or yell me in the right direction, and I'm really keen (hell-bent?) on trying it out using Flash Catalyst... is this the way?
Keeping in mind that my first draft only has to be a simple working version of the system, and I can play with the rest later, is any of what I said possible using flash catalyst?
Thanks in advance to whoever can help me out!I doubt MU can do this. It's pretty limited in scope & I don't think it supports server-side code which you would need to parse feeds. But feel free to post your question in the MU forum. Maybe somebody there has a workaround.
