Invisible video download in the background will not cancel or go away even after closing, shutting down, uninstalling/re-installing?
I tried downloading a video the other night but it never showed up in my downloads window/tab. I wanted to cancel it but could not because its not there to cancel but I do see the progress in the icon background in my windows task bar. To cancel I figured I would just close Firefox and re-open but it restarted the download again when I loaded Firefox back up. I restarted my computer and still, there it was restarting the download in the background. I uninstalled/reinstalled Firefox and yet it was still there when I loaded the browser up again. It is clearly trying to download in the background but have found o way of getting to it to cancel it. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
Mozilla Firefox has the option to resume downloads if the program is
shut down while one is in progress. Did you try '''<Control> J''' ?
Go to the '''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/ Mozilla Add-ons Web Page]''' {web link}
(There’s a lot of good stuff here) and search for download managers,
and download.status.

HT3176 my apple remote will not link to my appletv even after changing the battery
my apple remote will not link to my appletv even after changing the battery. can anyone help?
Your Apple TV may have become paired with another remote. Hold the remote close to and pointed at the Apple TV, hold down the menu and Rewind buttons together for 6 seconds or until you see a broken chain icon on screen.

I have recently upgraded my mac and ipad to IOS7 and find that Safari will not load onto my iPad. It just shuts down the app. Any ideas? I have been onto Mac who took me through a very long iPad robot, but the problem is still the same! Help appreciated
Do you mean that you did a soft-reset ?
Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies And Data and also Clear History
If that doesn't fix it then try closing Safari via the iPad's multitaskingbar and see if it works when you re-open it :double-click the home button to open the taskbar and then swipe or drag the Safari app's 'screen' up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
After trying the above you could also do a soft-reset (even if this is what you've already done it might be worth trying after clearing Safari's cache and closing the app via the taskbar) : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot. -
Help!!!!!! my iPod touch nd gen will not turn on at all even after charging it for 2 days straight what's wrong???
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

When selecting file or drive icon or text, the mouse will not release the item. Pressing esc will release item but only back to original location.
I presume drag lock isn't checked in System Preferences, but it sounds like maybe it's been set elsewhere, like by a corrupt prefs file? Can some OS X guru provide a Terminal command to disable drag lock just to be sure?
I have a problem, also on a new MBP 2010 i7 /10.6.4, that isn't the same but might be related. The time required for the system to "release" an item selected by the pointer is exceptionally long. And if I try to click elsewhere before the pointer has been released, it only serves to extend the time. It's annoying and reduces productivity.
Speed settings in Sys Prefs has no effect, and no other hardware is attached, using just the trackpad.
I hope there's a setting that can be changed via Terminal; can anyone suggest the right terminology for the parameter(s) that need to change? -
Video downloads content, but then will not complete download process.
I have emailed this problem to tech support quite a few times and get crazy answers. It appears that they don't actually read my email. They look at a couple of words and send me a form email.
Background:
I can download music.
I have also downloaded music videos successfully.
I use a cable modem.
I have over 15G of memory left on my computer.
I have made sure the anti-virus firewall and Windows XP firewalls allow iTunes files through.
I close all other programs before downloading, am not uploading stuff to my ipod while downloading, and am not playing music while downloading.
The Problem:
I am trying trying to download Season 2 of Desperate Housewives. It will download an episode and add the ID3 files. I can go look at the file that is being created and see that it is increasing in memory. In the end, the video file does not save. iTunes moves on to trying to save another episode. I end up with all of these 0 byte files in the "downloads" folder that is in my iTundes music folder. I have tried deleting these files and downloading the season again. No luck. If I let this process keep running, I get an error message telling me that I have timed out. My internet does not time out...does iTunes time out?
Please help if you know what I might be able to do. The emails from tech support do not help. They just tell me things I have already done or already know.
Gateway Desktop Windows XPI was having the same problem and got the exactly same responce from tech support, ( the tech support is a joke) Here is what I finally did to get mine to work, the probleml was with my company firewall,
These steps worked for me:
Go under EDIT
Click on Preferences
Click on Advance Tab
Under Itunes Music Location,
Hit Change and write down the locaton incase the new locaton does not work for you.
Under temp hit the New Folder button
Delete the old location ( you might not need to do this )
Type in new location
I used the following: C:\TEMP\Itunes
Hit the ok and it will take a few minutes to move all your libary to new location
Go back to Advance
Click on the Check for Purchased
This worked for me and I hope this helps you out
My personal opinion is that we pay big money for these IPODS and Apple cant even support us .....What a shame!! -
The app I want to download from the cloud will not finish downloading and keeps restarting.
I tried to update the I Am T-Pain 2.0 app, but the update failed. I tried starting the download process over and over again, but it would not download. I had experienced a similar issue before so I deleted the app and the temporary files from the download and tried downloading the app from iCloud. It didn't work. The download will start all over when it is about to finish. Really annoying.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to resume the download.
And you did try rebooting like this? Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons -
My ipod touch is stuck on the home screen, will not respond. Displays a gray background with the ipod logo, sliders are unresponsive. Bottom slider displays many different languages, none of them english. Maybe a virus or malware?? Restoring with itunes does not work, neither does holding down the home/sleep buttons to reset.

- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

hello, i have recently purchased an ipod touch.i am having trouble with apps. i have bought apps off itunes but it wont appear on my ipod. i have synced the ipod with the computer multiple times but still no luck. i think it has something to do with my settings but i am not sure.please any helpwill be very much appreciated.thank you
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. -
Firefox will not allow me to use the enter button or even tapping the key pad on the go/magnifying glass button in the search window. I can type in a few keywords in the google or yahoo keyword search window in the top right tool bar but it will not let me enter. It also will not let me search or enter on any website with a search window. I can't even type in a username/password to access my banking. This just occurred several days ago. This is a linux Acer 8gig netbook.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== A few days ago.This may or may not be the problem but clips need to be in a storyline, not just butted back to back, to apply transitions. Meaning if you lift clips form the main storyline and just have them back to back on the line above (but not in their own storyline) they will not allow effects to be applied. You need to either move them back to the main storyline, or create a new storyline containing the clips, and then apply the transition.

Has anybody had a similar problem , after charging my iPhone 5s (with the Apple charger and cable ) , the screen on the phone has locked with the Apple Symbol , the phone will neither switch on or off for me to take any action , restore , upgrade etc
I think your iPhone must be stuck in Apple logo. If so, you need to read the help guide: iOS: Not responding or does not turn on - Apple Support

Firefox 3.6.6 will not allow Windows 7 to log off or shut down
I have a HP DV6 laptop (32 bit) with Windows 7. Firefox 3.6.6. seems to work well but the computer became slow and unresponsive and it will not log off, shut down or restart unless in safe mode. I uninstalled FF 3.6.6. and Adobe Flash 10 and now it works fine. On my Compaq Desktop (64 bit) with Windows 7, FF 3.6.6. and Adobe Flash work just fine.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I upgraded to FF 3.6.6 and Adobe Flash 10 ==
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/4.0; GTB6.5; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0; OfficeLiveConnector.1.5; OfficeLivePatch.1.3; .NET4.0C)I had same problem where Firefox 3.6.8 would not start or open. Spent many hours trying different things to fix it. Uninstall of previous version and reinstall did not make any difference. Finally, after uninstalling Firefox, I searched for Firefox folders and files on my computer, deleted and removed all Firefox folders and files - deleted anything and everything related to Firefox so that it will be as if I was going to download Firefox for the first time ever. Then, using another browser, I downloaded Firefox 3.6.8 and installed it. It could be that some Add-Ons or something else from the older version of Firefox or profile was interfering with the new one. It was easier to delete remove everything and install all over again clean than to figure out which part was causing the problem.
Keep in mind, when you delete all Firefox folders and files from your computer, you are deleting all your bookmarks and all your Add-ons. If you want to keep those bookmarks, you might want to save the URLs someplace safe to bookmark them again before deleting them. You need to re-install the Add-ons also. Upon installation, it asks if you want to import bookmarks and settings from another browser or settings you might have. I imported them from my other browser. Now, Firefox works. I also installed up-to-date Add-ons.
I hope this helps. Always keep more than one browser functioning on your computer, just in case one fails. -
I recently installed firefox so I could use an adblocker. It installed just fine, and it worked just fine for about three days. Then yesterday it stopped opening. I'm on a Toshiba running Windows 7. The icon highlights when I click on it, but then it stops and won't open the browser at all. When I try to run it with the manual command "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -p, I get the error message, "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\ refers to a location that is unavailable. It could be on a hard drive on this computer, or on a network. Check to make sure that the disk is properly inserted, or that you are connected to the Internet or your network, and then try again. If it still cannot be located, the information might have been moved to a different location." I installed it to that location, and I don't need a disk. I'm connected to the Internet just fine and my other browsers (Chrome and IE) work the same as always. But they're swamped with ads and I really was happy wih Firefox when it was opening...how can I fix this issue?
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#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).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#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! -
The problem I've got is I'm currently running Puppy Linux on my laptop.
Now I've tried everything I can to get Java working under either Firefox, Chromium or Seamonkey (I have all three browsers on my computer).
For firefox and seamonkey I have tried the following -
downloaded the tar.gz file for java
unpacked it to /opt/java
gone to /user/lib/mozilla/plugins and run the command
ln -s /opt/java/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
to create the symbolic link to the plugin
checked that the plugin is executable (actually even tried giving everything full permission to read/write and execute it)
For Chromium done a similar thing but put the symbolic link in /usr/lib/chrome-linux/plugins folder instead.
Restarted the web browser, even tried restarting X Server in case the browser is running somewhere in the background.
All three browsers can pick up all the other .so plugins in that folder except Java.
When I click check plugins on firefox I get to the page about "Missing Java? - For your safety Firefox has disabled your outdated version of Java. Please upgrade to the latest version".
However the version I've downloaded is Version 7 Update 9 which is exactly the same one that is available as the latest version from Java themselves (it was only downloaded from that link a couple of minutes before, I've even tried re-downloading it just in case there has been an update within those 5 minutes).
If I go into the Java folder and run ControlPanel the Java control panel pops up and it knows where Java is installed and everything.
So what on earth is going on? Am I installing the plugin in the right directory? I'm guessing so as that is where all the other plugins are stored and Firefox, Chrome and Seamonkey are picking all the others up fine, or could there be an older version of Java lurking around somewhere on my system that Firefox, Seamonkey and Chrome are all trying to use?
I've also tried downloading the RPM and installing that into the /usr/java folder and replacing the symlink from /opt/java to the one in the /usr/java folder and still nothing.
I just really can't understand it 'cos it's picking up all the other plugins like Gecko and even installed Flash in the same way and that works fine.Thanks cor-el looks like Oracle need to update their linux installation instructions then. If only I'd have known that before doing all sorts to get it working.
I now have Java in Firefox, Chrome and Seamonkey :) :) :) :) :). -
Firefox will not open on my computer, even after reinstall. Please help?
I've been using Firefox for a long time and it's been working well. I'm on acer Windows 7. However now it will not open even when I try to run "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe". Chrome or Internet Explorer work fine. I also reinstalled Firefox and it still doesn't work.
Here's the id of my latest crash (from 30.4.2014): bp-4e981129-aea6-4b23-87a2-739b42140430
