Installed runs for 10 seconds then turns off continues doin it

i installed firefox 4 it runs for about 10 seconds then turns off i re apply the programe thing runs a short while then turns off i have re installed from different sites several times still no joy

Which PowerMac is experiencing the issue ? (It's a powermac forum)
Which Mac OS ?
and which AirPort software version ? (use Get Info on AirPort Utility)
Which encryption method are you using on the Mac ? (it's been known to get it wrong)
ie. WEP 40-bit, WEP 128-bit, WPA, WPA2, WPA2 Personal (open Network Prefs, select AirPort and click Advanced).
Which encryption method are you using on the WiFi network ? Be exact.
There's a big difference between WPA, WPA2 and WPA2 Personal (and a few others).
Does the WiFi device have any filtering on it ? That could be anything from MAC address filtering to only using the wireless N protocol, which may xclude your wireless G (or wireless B) PowerMac.

  • My laptop (dv6910us) will not boot up. Blue lites come on for 1 second, then turn off.

    My two year old Pavillion laptop DV6910us model will not boot.  I push the start button, the top line of blue lite glow for about a second, then all the lites turn off.  If I push the button again, the same thing happens;  blue lites for a second, then dark.
    I've tried this with or without the battery; same result.  With or without AC power supply
    ; same.
    Anybody got a clue?

    Here are some options:
    Option 1
    Option 2
    Option 3
    If you can remove the motherboard yourself you save money. You can search around on eBay and call some of these providers until you find someone you are comfortable with. Look for their feedback and ask for references. 

  • PS4 turns on for split second then turns off (Not BLOD)

    My PS4 was purchased via preorder on launch day here in South Africa - Friday 13th December. After working for 2 days,it now fails to turn on. I've read about the blue light of death that just pulsates continuously but what I'm getting is a beep and blue light for less than a second before it turns off completely with no light.
    If I then press or hold the power button again, I get nothing. I have to unplug it from the wall and replug it in and then if I press the power button again, it does the same as before - beep and split second blue light before going dead. Here is a video I took of it:http://t.co/VIrDS9KI1G I can't get into safe mode. If I try to hold the power button down, it just does the same as above. It doesn't stay powered long enough to reach 7 seconds. I've also tried removing the HDD and booting without the HDD in to try and force safe mode but again, it does exactly the same as above. I've tried using different plug points and adapters that I know work and I've done so with no other devices plugged into these points or adapters. In my highly amateur opinion, it feels like a power supply issue where power is cutting practically immediately.

    It's a power issue, I've noticed this because I was moving my PS4 from downstairs where I tested it, to my gaming room where it'll live FOREVER! lol... and the power was unplugged, but I touched the button as I lifted the console. It beeped as if it was going to come on, then because it had no power it just went off again. Just like you describe. So the console is acting like it does when it has SOME power, but not enough in my opinion.
    Once I got it upstairs and plugged in the power, it came on and all was ok.
    I recommend:
    Giving the PS4 ITS OWN PLUG SOCKET, don't plug it on a multi-adapter where it's power might be shared/weakened.
    Give the PS4 a moment of being plugged in so it can store enough power to turn on.
    Make sure your cables are all good,

  • When I try powering up my phone it stays on the logo screen for a few seconds then turn off, whats wrong with it?

    When I try to power up my iphone 4 32g, it will stay on the apple screen for a few seconds then turn off. even when I try connecting it to my computer it turns on for a few seconds then turns off. Whats wrong with it? and what do I do about it?

    Have you tried charging it with another known working USB sync cable?  After letting it sit to "charge" for at least 30 minutes, have you tried resetting the device by pressing and holding both the Select/Center and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

  • I'm trying to use a madcatz controller on the mac but it turns on for 2 seconds and turns off. the system profiler picks it up as a xbox 360 gamepad but says its not been configured. how can i allow my self use this with my games.

    i'm trying to use a madcatz controller on the mac but it turns on for 2 seconds and turns off. the system profiler picks it up as a xbox 360 gamepad but says its not been configured. how can i allow my self use this with my games!

    I have exactly the same problem.
    I'm a little peed-off with Microsoft on this. The original wireless controller I have doesn't work either since the cable I'm using is 'just' the charge and play cable, so a direct connection to my Mac won't work with this cable. It's a cable for god's sake. Why on EARTH put any limitations on this!?!?
    Next I learn I need an additional USB wireless receiver from Microsoft to get my original 360 controller to talk to my Mac. As I certainly don't want to fork any more microsoft dollars on this, this is not an option.
    Next I think, yes! I have a MadCatz 360 wired USB controller. This should surely do the trick just plugging it in and the way I go. But oh no, for some reason I plug my MadCatz Xbox360 controller in, it flashes a few times then switches off and can't be turned on again.
    The System Profiles recognizes it as a MadCatz 360 device controller but that is about it, but the ontroller software I download for the System Prefs (360Controller, USBOverdrive etc) don't even recognize the controller as being plugged in.
    What the **** Is The Microsoft Deal with all of this!?!?
    PS: Oh, and I forgot to mention, there are No drivers for device 4716 that I can find on the MadCatz website, or am I going blind?
    If anyone has a link, it would be appreciated.

  • My time capsule stopped working. amber light comes on for a few seconds then turns off.

    my time capsule stopped working. When I try to power it up the amber light comes on for about 10 seconds and then turns off. That's as far as it gets. Any ideas on how to solve this problem.

    Kazandjaz, Welcome to the fourm!  There is a 99.5% chance that your problem is caused by a failed internal power supply unit (PSU)!  If you have operated it for about 18 months or so, that is the cause.  Take it to your nearest Apple dealer and ask them to check it out.

  • How to hold a texts scroll for 3 seconds then scroll off?

    I'm using tweenlite. How do I hold the scroll for 3 seconds and scroll off the screen?
    Here is my current tweenlite code.
    TweenLite.to(txtField, 40, {x:-stage.stageWidth*2.25, ease:Linear.easeNone, delay:0.5, onComplete:Inspiration});
    Thank you.

    Okay, I'm not getting what I wanted. Here is my code:
    TweenLite.to(txtField, 3, {x:200, ease:Linear.easeNone, delay:0.5});
    var timer:Timer = new Timer(3000, 2);
        timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, scrollOut);
        timer.start();
    function scrollOut(e:TimerEvent):void{
        TweenLite.to(txtField, 3, {x:-200, ease:Linear.easeNone, delay:0.5, onComplete:Inspiration});
    I want the tweenlite to wait 3 seconds and the proceede with scroll off the screen that's why I have the scrollOut function; however, the effect is that the scrolling from right is pausing for 3 seconds every 2 seconds. How do I modify this?

  • My computer will turn on for a second then shut off.

    I had just shut down the computer 30 min before so when i go back to turn it on i press the on button sounds like its starting up then shuts off it has a full charge took out the battery and tried it again. still doesn't work i kept try to turn it on and on but itll just act like its starting up then shut off. sometimes if i let go of the on button too early the light will just come on then immediately shut off. what do i do everything i own thats apple has been breaking this week.

    - If it is only one app try deleting the app and then redownload/install the app.
    - Reset your iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore your iPod.  First from backup and if problem persists restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • P67a-C45 powers on for a few seconds then turns off

    got a core i7 2600 with this board, my problem is when i power on, the 4 blue leds on the mobo turns on, cpu fan spins up and 5 seconds later it goes off again and then turns on again and keeps repeating - no beep codes - mounted the mobo on a board to minimize potential shorting but same problem - switched power supplies and still the same - any ideas

    Always best for initial first time startup, to do it with just one RAM stick in the primary blue dimm slot. A couple thoughts, first is use just the one RAM stick & load the OS & all the drivers, then add the other sticks. The other thought is to try each RAM stick individually in the primary slot to rule out a bad or failing stick.

  • Startx: X server runs for split second, then dumps me back to shell

    I'm trying to install an X server on a newly installed Arch Linux VirtualBox guest machine, but when I type "startx", the X server only runs for a split second, and then dumps me back to the shell. Here are my ~/.xinitrc and /var/log/Xorg.0.log files posted via wgetpaste. What could be wrong?

    I'm not sure but i dont see any desktop or window manager in your .xinitrc .
    .xinitrc is used to execute a window manager or a desktop when the x server starts.
    So you need to install a desktop or window manager that you like.

  • I have used FF for years. Yesterday I could not get it to open. The clock comes on for a second then goes off. IE works OK. I uninstalled and reinstalled FF

    I uninstalled FF and reinstalled it with the same results. IE and Chrome work fine. This is something that just started yesterday afternoon. Can you help?

    Hello,
    '''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.
    Thank you.

    That's because iTunes 11 requires Snow Leopard or higher.
