It's happening to me too...

Hi All,
I've run into problems with Flash Player 10,0,45,2. In IE 8, FF 3.6.3 and Google Chrome (which I downloaded as a last ditch measure), some websites (such as youtube) work fine. Other sites such as wimp.com I get an empty box. I've reinstalled flash, but haven't seen much else in these forums to try to figure out what the problem is.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have the same problem with mine. Youtube and other video sites are fine. But when I go to Yahoo it tells me to install it. Or Facebook games it tells me to install it also. I don't get it.

Firefox 5 works for a while but then won't open webpages and has to be restarted. Happened with F4 too.

Running OSX 10.6.8 on a 2-year-old MacBook Pro. Everything will be working fine and then after a random interval of time (anywhere from 5 minutes to hours), Firefox won't connect to the internet any more and will display an error message.
I posted a question when this happened in Firefox 4 and it was never resolved.

You can try disabling emoticons and image previews in your IM appearance settings in your Skype options to see if that changes anything. Some people running Windows XP have had odd graphical and resource issues with versions of Skype above 7.5. The alternative solution would be to downgrade to Skype 7.5 for the time being. You can find links to 7.5 in the thread below. http://community.skype.com/t5/Windows-desktop-client/Skype-7-6-crashes-on-startup/m-p/4031560/highlight/true#M353247

FF updates happen way, way too often

Firefox 13 arrived and well, like suspected, plug-ins/add-ons are not compatible. Most important one for me is Kaspersky Anti Banner. So back to FF 12 for me.
Mozilla states that companies have more then enough time to alter their software: 6 weeks.
6 weeks? Come on, that is way to short! FF is forcing companies to work constantly on their software just to fit in their ridiculous update scheme of every 6 weeks an incompatible update!?
FF was the best browser for me but this weird, way to often update thing really brings it down. And I am not alone with this: just do a search on this way too often update cycle and you will find many, many complaints about it.
I did file it as a bug but all I got back was: "Developers are giving a 6 weeks heads up to make their software compatible. If they can not do this ... well, then it is their own fault."
Yep, Mozilla is beginning to show Micro$oft behaviour :(

this is a primarily user driven support forum, so there isn't much that we can do about it. if you want to give feedback to mozilla, use https://input.mozilla.org/feedback
my personal thoughts on the issue: most addons default to compatible anyway, so developers won't have any additional work to do for a new firefox release. if a commercial company like kaspersky decides that it wants to offer a browser addon one supposes it can't be that hard to keep up with a pre-scheduled release cycle of 6 weeks. they apparently also have the capability to constantly develop & distribute signatures every few hours.
you can also just use the adblock extension as alternative - it's free, works very well for millions of users & doesn't have any compatibility problems with new versions of firefox: http://adblockplus.org/en/getting_started

My iPad became so slow after updating it to IOS 6... It happened to someone too? What should i do about it?

Everything is so slow!!! In ios 6 my iPad used to be fast before this update... And youtube doesn't work on the safari.. It asks for flash player... Those problems weren't exict if Steve Was here...

AFAIK, downloading directly to the device is typically smaller as it only gets the stuff it needs for your specific device as oposed to the full download when downloading from iTunes.
Correct, no Siri for iTouch 4th gen.
The Maps app is there, but I moved it around, so I'm not sure where it is on your device, but its in there.
Safari is updated in iOS 6, your other apps should update in the App Store when their developers release updates, I've launched only a few apps so far, no problems with compatibility!

Touchpad y-axis upside down. Happens using GPM too.

I've just noticed in X that my laptop touchpad y-axis is upside down, and I can tap-click and side-scroll with it now, whereas before, I could never get tapping and scrolling to work.
I checked it's device name, and it's now being recognized as an "ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse". It used to called an ALPS touchpad or something.
I also tried using the touchpad with GPM and it does the same thing, so it couldn't be an Xorg problem, right?
I just recently reinstalled, so that could be it. It could also be that I just spilled water on my laptop about an hour ago. Anyway, this is great news if I can just fix the y-axis.

Well, poop.
I just rebooted and everything is back to normal. Where's my water bottle...:D

Does this happen to you too??

On my computer all of the volume works. When I open itunes and play a song there is no sound feedback. Does anyone else have this problem?? Anyone have a solution to this??

Have a look at:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93610

Every time I open my homepage (not the Firefox page), another tab opens that is an ad. My pop-up blocker is on, so I don't understand why this is happening.

My homepage is whitenoiseplayer.com. Whenever I open Firefox, this additional tab opens. It is an ad that says something like, "Congratulations Wal-Mart customer!" and says I've won something. I don't think it's a virus, because I already did a virus scan. Could it be a problem with my homepage? I've been using this homepage for quite some time, and this has never happened before. It doesn't happen when I open any other websites.

This kept on happening to me too! I finally figured out the problem! I had downloaded something and it set it as my homepage automatically. Only mine was a google search of something and it was highly annoying, but the same problem! At the top of mozilla push firefox>options>options>general. Look at the homepage part.
It should only have your chosen homepage, but it doesn't! Just delete the other link and press save! I guess firefox allows you to have as many home page's as you like! Odd, but cool.
Well, I hope that helped! (:

Can't figure out why colors don't totally change when you select type with curser? It looks like it has by looking at it, but when you highlight the area after the old color is still there. It happens with objects to. Driving me NUTZ. Help!

Can't figure out why colors don't totally change when you select type with curser? It looks like it has by looking at it, but when you highlight the area after the old color is still there. It happens with objects to. Driving me NUTZ. Help!

Select the text, and open the Appearance palette (Come on guys, text highlight is irrelevant, it happens to objects too says the OP), and see what's listed there. For a simple text object, there should only be a line item "Type", followed by "Characters", and when double-clicked the Characters line item expands to tell you the stroke and fill color. For a basic object, there should be a fill and/or stroke.
What happens sometimes, is that you end up adding extra strokes/fills to objects or text, and the appearance palette is where that will be noted. Especially when you are dealing with groups, and/or picking up a color with the eyedropper, you may inadvertently be adding a fill or stroke on top of something. You can drag those unwanted thingies from the Appearance palette into its own little trash can.

I cannot move my gadgets in iGoogle to make my homepage appear as it was previously. What happened?

Sometime over this weekend, my homepage has been altered. I use iGoogle and now data does not load into the gadgets. Nor, can I move gadgets where I want them on my homepage.

This happened to me too. I had notes on my iGoogle page and the data all disappeared. My date & time addon was empty. I just updated to Firefox 5 & the same problem persists. I'm about ready to give up on this browser- so many problems these past months.

Firefox is displaying pages incorrectly, spreading portions of content horizontally, while the rest of the page is okay. E.g- Amazon's header is stretched, with spaces between letters & words. Google results headings spread. Wells Fargo has problems too.

I am using Safari to send this question, as I am upset by in Firefox on many sites, where the horizontal spacing is busted. e.g.:
My display is 1920x1200 but still not wide enough to show the whole site horizontally in these sites! In addition, the text is all over the place.
At https://www.wellsfargo.com/biz/ for example, it is as if Firefox is not reading the css for the text, some of which is in narrow columns and some scattered!
Amazon.com, -- the header at the top is so wide I have to scroll to see it and many of the words have huge gaps between letters. In the home page body, most of it is okay, but down the right some items have prices that look like this: $56. 3 8
At Google, the linked heading of the results are stretched out horizontally.... not all, but on some searches it was prevalent.
What on earth is going on? I think I am going to try to get back an earlier version from my backup and reinstall that for the meantime... this is really a drag.
I put amazon in the url below, but note the examples above too.

Thanks anyway, but neither of these suggestions applies to what is happening.
The fonts on the websites I mentioned are not garbled and fonts on my machine are not corrupted.
The characters on the pages in question are correct, just spaced too far apart or appearing in the wrong places, e.g. scattered around the page or scrunched up in narrow columns.
In addition, portions of some web sites are enormously stretched horizontally, too, which leaves long horizontal gaps in between some words and characters.... and also makes it so that even my 1920x1200 monitor can't display, for example, the top header of Amazon.com without horizontal scrolling. Other portions of that page are a normal width, but I have to scroll way over to log in or find "view cart".
It seems to me more like the css for those sites is not being read or interpreted correctly.
Also, some sites appear normal, while others display these problems.
Something like this is happening in Safari too, though, I have discovered. Hmmm.
I should mention, too, that the sites look normal in an old version of Firefox I happen to have on an older Mac here, version 2.0.20. It's obsolete for some things, true, but it displays these problem sites perfectly.
And the problem does NOT happen in Opera at all (latest version)!
All the sites I gave as examples look completely normal in Opera!
Hmmm. I will have to start browsing with Opera, it appears if I can't find the answer.... :-( I usually only use it to check pages I have designed.

I recently upgraded to Lion and i find that my computer is running slow and applications are crashing. For example I have Word 2011 for Mac and it crashes all the time I end up losing my work. It often happens when I'm in notebook trying to record.

i recently upgraded to Lion and i find that my computer is running slow and applications are crashing. For example I have Word 2011 for Mac and it crashes all the time I end up losing my work. It often happens when I'm in class using notebook and when I press record my computer starts thinking and it freezes.
Also, I feel that it overheats often and my battery runs out pretty quickly. I had the macbook (black) and this never happened before. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if there is something with my computer.I bought my computer summer 2010, I don't think this should be happening. Please Help......

This is exactly what keeps happening to mine too. I was at a conference taking notes, and I was
using the Notebook template, and doing some audio recording simultaneously. About 3 hours into the conference (not consistently recording, but on and off with the sessions) my file wouldn't save anymore, saying something like "File cannot be modified while in use with another program" and "Invalid file name" when I would go back into my folder to look for it). I tried installing some updates from Microsoft, and when I restarted, I was at least able to open my old notes again, and so far it looks like the audio was working. However, today at the conference, the same thing happened again, but I wasn't actively recording any audio (though after I had copy and pasted my second file of notes into the original, I went back to using it after re-naming it).
Does the crash happen to you under similar cirucumstances? The update might help a little, but it is definitely not the solution. Does anyone have any solutions? Lion shouldn't be this buggy... I moved to Mac to get away from the garbage of bugs and compatibility issues...

Since upgrading to iOS 8 , my Apple TV second gen stops playback every time my iPhone rings. Anyone else have this happen?

Since upgrading to iOS 8 , my Apple TV second gen stops playback every time my iPhone rings. Anyone else have this happen?

This is happening to me too. Couldn't figure out what was happening at first then I got a phone call and the ring came through the appletv. Playback was stopping when I would open a game or something else as well.
I'm on a 5s with ios 8 and have an appletv 3rd Gen(it is updated too). II often airplay movies from my NAS through my iPad min and that stops when something happens on my phone even though airplay on my phone is off.

How come when I click on something i want to buy in itunes nothing happens

How come when I click on something I want to buy in itunes nothing happens?

I too had this problem after I redeemed two $50 gift cards. I solved the problem by uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling it. Give it a try.

Received sync verification email at my aol account, but when I click the verify button, nothing happens. I can't copy the url: aol won't let me. Now what?

Just downloaded firefox for the first time. I'm stuck on the verify step of the sync process.
I'm using aol desktop software on Windows 7. AOL won't let me copy the url behind the verify button to another browser, and it won't open the firefox accounts window when I click on verify (the tab opens, but the window stays blank....refresh does not help). I'm stuck.
I do not use outlook on this computer.

This is happening to me too. Every time I try to resend the verification email it does not work either. I am filing a bug.
Bug 1004839 - AOL will not send verification email

It's happening to me too...
