  • Hi my itunes program crashes when i try to access the itunes store.  Have tried to uninstall and reinstall to no avail.

    Hi my itunes program crashes when i try to access the itunes store.  Have tried to uninstall and reinstall to no avail.

    Me too - running iTunes 10.5.3 on Windows 7.  Will allow me to sign in to iTunes, download app updates and then if I either close iTunes or try to sign out of my iTunes account it all freezes.  So frustrating, because my understanding is that iTunes saves the library file when exiting.  So, everytime I update apps I lose all the downloads.

    It's possible that you need new drivers from HP, in order to be compatible with OS X 10.8.3. Looking at HP website, they haven't released new drivers since last November. You might need to wait for new drivers or contact HP to push for an update.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    * [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • Final Cut Pro 6 installed. Now won't open. Help!

    Installed FCP 6 a week ago. Need to edit reel asap. The program now won't open, thus I can't edit. If anyone has ideas on how to solve, extra bonus points and gold stars. Deadline for TV reel was yesterday. Can anyone advise? Have restarted, and tried everything. My clips are all captured and ready to drop, drag and make DVD and link. I'll be up all night... if anyone can assist with this. THX.

    >It's FCP 6 and was fixed by Apple, then doesn't open.
    What's this?
    Did an Apple Store repair your Mac at some point?
    If so, it sounds like they reinstalled the OS and then migrated your applications from the old HD.
    Bad. Bad. BAD.
    The Final Cut Studio installer places many files at system level, some are in folders that are normally invisible to the user. Migration does not bring those files across, so FCP will not work properly and will typically refuse to open.
    Back to the digitalrebellion site for you.
    This time, get a free copy of FCS Remover. Run it and then completely re-install FCS from the original DVD set.

  • How do I stop Firefox from thinking it crashed and doing a recovery when forced to use Windows Task manager to close a bad URL that I never want to go back to?

    Long question, I know :~) There are web sites that I may visit that will not allow me to exit the site, so I use Alt-Ctrl-Del in Windows to start the Task Manager and force the site to close by ending the program. The new version of Firefox (31.0) thinks that Firefox crashed and send me right back to the source of my problem.
    Your documentation for this process is as follows:
    After a crash
    Due to unexpected issues such as problems with a website, software errors, or an accidental loss of power, Firefox may unexpectedly close. In these situations, Firefox can restore the pages that you were visiting when it is restarted. Firefox will automatically restore your previous session, the first time you launch it after a crash.
    If Firefox crashes a second time, the Restore Session (i.e. "Well, this is embarrassing") page will appear when you next launch Firefox.
    ...and this is what I found trying to stop this process. Next, when I am forced to use Task Manager to close Firefox a second time to stop a badware site, then the 'Well this is embarrassing' dialog appears and I am finally safely away from the URL.
    I do not want Firefox automatically sending me back to a problem site.
    Thank you for any procedure you can suggest to stop Firefox from restoring problem web pages, Art Clapton

    I am unwilling to attempt navigation away from these sites. The pop-ups that occur on the attempt to leave a site or to close the browser are exit traps offering incentive to stay.
    Once upon a time, when the internet was less dangerous, I would be willing to close the exit pop-ups. Now, after twice being infected with malware trying to close the pop-ups, I now force close whichever browser I am using.
    Recently, I clicked on the red X to close one pop-up, and it installed a trojan that I had to pay to be removed. When I clicked on 'Leave' in another exit pop, it didn't exit and it turned out I was giving permission to run a script file. Now that criminals have learned these exit pop-ups can be used to force a click action, the sites using them have become dangerous.
    If I force the browser to close using Task manager, Please tell me how to stop FireFox from sending me directly back to the same site because it mistakenly believes it crashed when it did not. I forced it to close because I was on a site that had taken control of my browser and was not allowing me to leave the site.
    No other browser sends me back to the potentially dangerous sites. I prefer Firefox, but the new version must have a setting that allows me to get safely away from a problem site?

  • Firefox crashed and now won't open - it freezes and I have to keep force quitting it.

    I have uninstalled and re installed firefox on my macbook. I have restarted my computer. It started crashing when a friend asked me to video chat on facebook. I tried three times and firfox wouldn't comply so I went to safari. when I came back to firefox - firefox was not working at all. I get the spinny wheel as soon as I open it and it doesn't go to any webpage. I don't even get the this is embarassing window anymore. How do I get it to work again? I prefer firefox over safari.

    UPDATE:  From reading some other post I believe that my large video files in iphoto are lagging my imovie so I guess I should have never imported the thumbnails, but the question is now how can I delete them from imovie?  (so i can just import them manually when I work on a video)  I go into the iphoto folder and see a folder labeled "thumbnails" and in that are 3 folders labeled 2011 2012 2013 and one more item (not a folder, but a piece of paper icon) but its labeled imovie data.  I really dont want to delete anything  but was wondering if this has anything to do with it.

  • Firefox 37.0.1 crashes every time I try to print. Thunderbird cannot print either. IE and other apps have no problem printing.

    Firefox 37.0.1 on Windows 7 64 bit. To try to fix, I have inactivated all addons, then removed all addons, then back leveled Firefox, then uninstalled Thunderbird (as this was an addition around the time this started happening), and deleted and reinstalled the printer driver. Even when I uninstalled Thunderbird and then installed Firefox 37.0.1 I cannot print. With both programs reinstalled now I again cannot print from either. I get "error encountered while printing" with Thunderbird, and a crash with Firefox. I followed all of the advice in the "Fix printing problems in Firefox" article in the knowledge base to no avail. The latest Firefox crash report is bp-1132bb48-c14b-4f20-ab65-8d58e2150415. Looking below, I see that there are installed plugins, but I don't understand how those got there as I completely uninstalled, downloaded, and reinstalled Firefox. I can't find the same issue in the knowledge base and can't fix following printer problem suggestions. Sure would appreciate some help.
    I also reset all print related config entries per advice in another support thread. Many of those were MP560 related and had that model name built into the config entry name (my printer is a Canon MP560). I notice now that those entries are missing. I also have no PRINT_PRINTER entry referenced as a config option to reset. It is missing.
    Resetting the PRINT.PRINT_PRINTER entry on Thunderbird also did not work and the entry disappeared upon reset. I believe this is what happened with Firefox, too.
    I forgot to say that I can print fine from all other programs and browsers.

    I didn't see that I could edit the question before "I answered myself." I updated the question.

  • Firefox has been crashing when I try to close it and now won't open at all.

    For some time now, Firefox has been timing out when I tried to close it, making it necessary to "force quit." Now it won't open at all. Even more strangely, I'm not able to send a crash report to Apple (I get the message "submission failed").
    I've tried downloading the newest version, downloading plug-ins, and starting in "safe mode."
    Also strange, in my bookmarks section the little icons had disappeared lately.

    Sorry I do not use Mac s Unless someone provides a better answer I suggest you start with looking at
    * [[latest firefox issues]] (watch for any updates about new issues)
    * [[firefox crashes]] <br> That article provides general tips and suggestions, and explains how to obtain a crash ID, something that you can do even when firefox will not start
    You may need to investigate the possibility of a malware problem, but try to obtain a crash ID first, that may provide a clue to the problem.

  • When trying to install Firefox in my laptop (Win 7) I recieve a message that says File is corrupt and I cant install it

    I have a Samsung laptop with Windows 7. I tried to install Firefox several times and every time keeps coming this message "File is corrupt", not letting me open it.
    Plus, I have the Norton antivirus and I don´t know if this is a problem caused by Windows version or the antivirus program.

    First repair permissions and restart your computer.  Reinstall the latest version of flash player.  Again repair permissions and restart your computer. 

  • Crashed during conform clip, now won't open compound clips!

    I have a project where I went inside a compound clip to conform the clip speed (it was previously retimed but shouldn't have been).
    At this point FCP X crashed. After restarting now I cannot open any compound clips in a timeline.
    This is deadly. I assume the project file got broken during the crash somehow.
    Is there any kind of autosave vault so I can rescue a previous version before it crashed?

    Magic Feather wrote:
    Yep.  This happend to us last week.  This is what you're going to need to do to get the cc back.
    Create a new project.  Drag the compound clip in question into it from your event browser.  Break the compound apart and you should be ok.  This will incur crashes at each step, but if you're patient you'll get it back.
    Did you start this project in 10.0.7 and update the project a few weeks back?  Sometimes little quirks like this happen when you update when you're in the middle of a project.  It's no consolation, I know, but I think that is where it's coming from.
    Please let us know if this works...
    Thanks. Will try that. Total pain as nearly a hundred compound clips in this project that were created to solve a different problem!
    Yes project started in 10.0.7 and updated to 10.0.8 yesterday.

  • After installing firefox 17.1 it will ask intermittanly to restart comptuer to complete upgrade. How do I fix this . I have already tried uninstall/reinstall

    Question
    After installing firefox 17.1 it will ask intermittanly ask to restart comptuer to complete upgrade. How do I fix this . I have already tried uninstall/reinstall . I have deleted the mozilla folder out of C:\. I have made sure plug ins are up to date. Security is not blocking mozilla.

    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox and any leftover program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps one by one:
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu) and confirm all upcoming messages.
    #Now, uninstall Firefox by following the steps mentioned in the [[Uninstall Firefox from your computer#w_uninstall-firefox|Uninstall Firefox]] article.
    '''IMPORTANT:''' On Windows, the uninstaller has the option to remove your personal data and settings. Make sure that you do '''not''' check this option; otherwise all of your bookmarks, passwords, extensions, user customizations and other Firefox [[Profiles|user profile data]] will be removed from your computer.
    After uninstalling Firefox on Windows, delete the "Mozilla Firefox" program folder, located by default in one of these locations:
    * '''(On 32-bit Windows)''' ''C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox''
    * '''(On 64-bit Windows)''' ''C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox''
    #Go to the Windows Start menu and click on "Computer".
    #In the Explorer window that opens, double click Local Disk (C:) to open the C:\ drive.
    #Find the "Program Files (x86)" folder or "Program Files" folder.
    #* On 32-bit Windows, double-click the '''Program Files''' folder to open it.
    #* On 64-bit Windows, you will see a "Program Files (x86)" folder AND a "Program Files" folder. Open the '''Program Files (x86)''' folder.
    #Look for a '''Mozilla Firefox''' folder. If you find one, right-click it and select ''Delete'' and confirm that you want to move the folder to the Recycle Bin.
    Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    #Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    #Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    Please report back to see if this helped you!
