If my computer has been open for a short while, when I open firefox, it freezes and shows this script-problem: chrome://ylayers/content/overlay.js:280
A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete.
script: chrome://ylayers/content/overlay.js:280
The only way to move on is to access the jobmenu and close it manually, then restart the computer. If I stop using the web for a while, the problem reoccurs.
I have windows vista home premium on dell and firefox 14.0.1.0
This issue can be caused by an extension (ylayers) that isn't working properly.
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.

My track pad is not working. The computer has been off for 10 days and I changed the batteries
Can someone help me with my iMac track pad? My computer has been off for 10 days and when I turned it on the curser will not move. The green light on the track pad would come on then off so i replaced the batteries in the track pad but it still does not work. Not sure if the grandchildren were on it over the holidays could something be locked on the keyboard?
1. Make sure that battery is in normal condition.
2. Shut down the computer.
Clean the trackpad with moist not wet microfiber cloth.
System Preferences > Point & Click
Try turning off three finger dragging and then turning it on after testing.
3. Is there any Bluetooth device nearby with failing batteries? If so, replace the batteries.
4. Reset PRAM: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14222
5. Reset SMC. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Choose the method for:
"Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
6. Close all windows and quit all applications.
Click the Spotlight -the magnifying glass icon- in the menu bar. Enter Disk utility in the box.
Select Disk Utility. When the Disk utility window opens up,
select Macintosh HD, then First Aid.
Click Repair Disk Permission
Ignore the time remaining estimate.

I'm trying to sync my phone. My computer has been down for a few months. I go to try to sync it today, and it tells me my Apple Mobile Device service is not started. How do I fix this? I dont know where to check for what operating system I'm on.

3 year old iMac 24 running OS 10.7.4. After it has been on for a day or so, it stops going to sleep and becomes very slow. This only happens when Safari is running. Quitting Safari solves the problem. Has anyone else have the same problem? Does not happen on MacBookpro only on iMac.
Hello Albert, see how many of these you can answer...
See if the Disk is issuing any S.M.A.R.T errors in Disk Utility...
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH7029
Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
How much RAM & free space do you have also, click on the Memory & Disk Usage Tabs.
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
In the Memory tab, are there a lot of Pageouts? -
I rented a Movie and it has been loading for 3 hours now. Internet connection is fine. Have never had a problem with this before. What's really annoying is that the 24 hour time limit is counting down even though we cant watch it. Any suggestions?
The first thing to check would be your internet download speed, you can do this at www.speedtest.net.
HD movies require a recommended speed of 6 Mbps, while SD movies require a recommended speed of 2.5 Mbps.
Additionally, your 24 hours don't start until you begin to watch the movie, you have 30 days to start watching the movie. -
I'm in London for a semester and I met someone here. My iMessage has been useful for chatting with friends from home, but I'd like to add this guy to my contacts and iMessage him. I can't iMessage him (he has functional iMessage on his iPhone). Why doesn't my phone recognize him to have iMessage? Do I have to turn my data on and my airport off to send a message before it recognizes that he has iMessage?
Call AppleCare, because, according to Apple, removing the devices from your support profile should have fixed this issue. You can also try changing your Apple ID password, but given what you've done, I doubt this will help.

July 18,2011 AOL toolbar update install. I cannot open Firefox to uninstall the update or the toolbar because everytime I open Firefox it freezes and jams up. I have to shut down my computer as it will not even respond to force quit command. I cannot read my mail (aol) or access my bookmarks all for work.
Try the Firefox SafeMode. <br />
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
# You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
# Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
You should be able to uninstall that AOL toolbar extension while running in the Firefox SafeMode. -
My iPhone 4 has been dead for 24 hours and I've been charging it for 12 hours and it still won't turn on. I have tried holding the lock button and home button down, even connected it to computer but nothing's happening, it randomly died on me.
Hi Lauren,
When troubleshooting power issues, we want to make sure we have followed all steps outlined in the following article:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
- Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
- Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion.
Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
- Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
- After at least 15 minutes, if:
- The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
- The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
- Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
- If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
- If the display turns on, go to step 4.
- If the display remains black, go to next step.
- Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to
restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
- If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
Thanks,
Matt M. -
HT2500 I want to know if an email I sent has been opened. How do I do this
I want to know how to get a notification that an email I sent has been opened. How do I do this
Short answer, you don't.
There's a pseudo-standard for read receipts that purports to tell you, but it's easily circumvented, either by the recipient using a mail client that doesn't support the 'standard' (hint: most don't), or by the recipient turning off read reciepts. In short, not getting a read reciept does not mean the message wasn't read, and therefore the whole concept is junk.
There are some other options that might get you further along... for example, if the message includes images or other HTML content then you could check the web server logs and track back who requested the image content. This does, of course, require that the user has their mail client set to display images and 'rich content' - if they don't download the image you can't know.
If the recipient is in your domain (or in a domain you control) then you could query the mail server logs - you'll see the message saved to the user's mailbox and can be pretty sure it's downloaded to their mail client the next time they POP or IMAP in. However this only implies it was delivered, not read, and is only valid for mail domains you control (you don't have this level of visibility into other mail servers).
At the end of the day, the only foolproof answer is: ask. -
My ipod has been disabled for 23 000 000 and I do not know how to solve the problem. can someone please help.
Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
If you previously synced to the computer then you may be able to recover use of the iPod without erasing the iPod by following the instructions here:
Disabled Recovery-must use syncing computer. -
My macbook won't start-up, so i tried "safe mode" booting but the computer has been on for 8hrs
I'm Ubam, I have been using Macbook pro 500gb 5400-rpm hard drive, 4gb of 1333mhz DDR3 SDRAM, 2.4GHz dual core Intel core i5 processor; for 2yrs now.
The problem i'v encountered now is, I pressed the power button to shut down & it did, so now it won't start up, so I tried putting it on but everytime I press the power button it shows the screen light before login it then goes off, so I tried a "safe mode" by pressing the shift key, after that the Apple logo comes on & it has like that for 8hrs & I'm still waiting. ThanksHi ibiubam,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

I can't load pages into a new tab anymore even when i right click a link and say open in a new tab it doesn't yet i use Firefox 28.0. even when i tried 29 alpha it still had the same problem.
What is the solution?'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item:<br>
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]<br><br>
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem. -
It's been a while since I've synced with my computer (yes, I'm still on iOS 4.0). Tonight I finally synced all my music, apps, purchases, etc. Tried to import all photos into iPhoto (tried 3 times) and about a third of the way through my 3,000 files it quit on me and didn't import a single thing.
After I did a manual backup of the phone, iTunes said it would download the file to update my iOS to 5.0. Took almost an hour to get the update file... and now iTunes no longer sees my iPhone as "Erica's iPhone," it's just a generic iPhone symbol and it says "Set up your iPhone" / "This computer has previously been synced with an iPhone or other device" / "Restore from backup" which started automatically. Am I about to lose everything on my phone?!?!?!

Time Machine backup for old computer has been named for new computer
On my new Time Capsule, I backed up the entire disk from my older computer. While consulting with a live help technician for an unrelated problem, he had me reset the Time Capsule using the newer computer. To resume use of the Time Machine backup from my older computer, I had to gain permission . . . and subsequently discovered the reason why. Reseting with the new computer caused the backup volume to be renamed with the new computer's name.
Sooo, 1) how do I correct the naming error, and 2) will further confusion occur when I then go to back up the new computer?It may or may not ask you to reformat the disk when you set it up as the backup for that new computer. If it does, I think you can cancel it.
What I would do is open Migration Assistant, then import your applications/documents/etc. onto the new computer, and then use the Time Machine disk for backup (formatting it if it asks you to).
You'll at least have recent files and stuff like that, which may not be as good as an incremental history but at least it's something. -
Svchost.exe taking up almost all of my cpu after the computer has been running for a number of hours
My computer is almost a year old and it is a custom build gaming rig with the following specs
Intel Core i5-3570k CPU @ 3.40GHz
8.0GB of Ram
AMD Radeon HD 6870
running windows 8.1
The issue is that after a few hours my computer starts to drastically drop in performance. This is due to two reasons. Firstly explore.exe starts to use up my cpu. I can easily stop this by using process explorer to close the offending thread (only 1 thread
i causing the issue, the rest are using minimal cpu) killing this thread reduces the cpu and appears to have no concequence in terms of functionality of my pc.
After this on average ten minutes later what happen is that svchost.exe starts using from 40%-60% of my cpu at which point if I do not quit any game I am playing my computer will crash. using process explorer to find the offending threads lead me to a thread
with a TID of 1836. If I kill this process I lose internet connection. Yet before this happens there is no sign of this thread. It appears to not be present until the issue appears and when it does appear this process is essential to my internet connection.
Please can someone help mePlease provide us with your Event Viewer administrative logs by following these steps:
