To free up hard drive space the best bet is to move data files that you don't need access to all the time. Likely candidates are music, video, and photos. Things like word processing and spreadsheet files can also be moved but they tend not to be very large and so don't free up much space. The problem with moving the above mentioned files is that iTunes and iPhoto need to know where the files are stored.
Here's an article explaining how to move the iTunes folder. You can move the iPhoto library using the Finder but there is a slight complication. Start iPhoto, open the Preferences and click on the Advanced tab. The first option is "Copy items to the iPhoto Library". If this option is checked, copy the iPhoto library to your external folder (drag it from the Pictures folder to your external drive) and then delete it from your Picture folder. If this option is not checked, it is a bit more complicated and we'll need to talk a bit.

Gets hot while taking video and screen goes off so many times

Sounds like something is obstructing the proximity sensor on your phone. It is usually at the top of the display next to the ear speaker. You didn't say what you have. Usual suspects are a screen protector or dust.

Firefox freezes, if clicked the screen goes white and says firefox is not responding. How do I fix this?

At seemingly random times, firefox freezes, and if clicked the screen goes white and says not responding. At times it makes watching any video impossible. I have tried everything I've seen in help forums. I've removed and reinstalled firefox, adobe, silverlight, realplayer, and anything else forums have suggested. So far the only effective solution I've read about this problem is to switch to google chrome. I'd rather not do this.

Start your '''Computer''' in safe mode. Then start Firefox. Try '''Safe''' web sites.
Starting The Computer In Safe Mode;
If running, turn your computer off.
Remove any disks and thumb drives that are in your hard drives or ports.
Now start your computer but also;
'''Windows; '''Press the <F8> key repeatedly.
'''Mac: '''Hold down the Shift key.
'''Linux; '''Using the command line, Linux/Unix computers can be booted
into various run levels that determine which resources are loaded.
For example, "runlevel 1" is typically the equivalent to Windows and
Mac safe modes.
* Source; '''[http://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/Linux+Safe+Mode Safe Mode; Free Online Encyclopedia]'''
When the '''Boot''' menu is displayed, release the key you were pressing.
You must now choose what mode you want. The most used are;
* Safe Mode; The computer runs with only a minimum set of programs.
* Safe Mode '''With '''Networking; Same as above, but with internet access.

Constant "not responding" and screen whites out

Ever since I've been using Firefox 3.5 or so (currently Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.17) Gecko/20110420 Firefox/3.6.17) I have constant messages in the window bar (Not Responding) and the open page whites-over and Firefox quits responding. it's happened 4 times while I've typed this far. It makes the browser completely unusable. What is causing this? There's also a little grey box up by the search-bar that has "2c" in it I never noticed before where logos for various browsers I've used in the past usually have a logo.

It still happens when I turn off all extensions and in safe mode. I have 3 gigs of ram, Win 7 and if Firefox is open the thing constantly does this white-out, not responding thing. Same browser on my eMachines desktop and Toshiba Satellite laptop with XP is just been fine. Upgraded it to FF 4 on less used eMachines Saturday, though I don't really like the look and feel yet. Don't know if this is a Win7 problem or Firefox. Another weird thing is that bookmarks imported from Toshiba now won't let me save new bookmarks. Usually truncates the folder I put new bookmark in. If the browser crashes on the Win7 machine, recent bookmarks just disappear. Sometimes even when I do a controlled shutdown, they still disappear. Is the install corrupted possibly? And is there a way to wipe and reinstall it?

I keep getting "firefox.exe application error" and program shuts down

When I attempt to boot up Firefox I get the following message "firefox.exe application error" and the program shuts down. "The application 0x10008d30 referenced memory at 0x10008d30. The memory could not be "read"

Hello,
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.
More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-and-diagnose-firefox-problems?esab=a&s=troubleshooting&r=3&as=s#w_5-reinstall-firefox here].
<b>WARNING:</b> Do not run Firefox's uninstaller or use a third party remover as part of this process, because that could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u>
Please report back to see if this helped you!
Thank you.

Updated to IOS 8 and now power button does not respond and screen is frozen with apple logo.

Updated iPad to IOS 8 -- screen locked. Now screen is frozen with apple logo and the power button is not responding.
Thanks for any help!

That is normal while it is loading the update. Give it some time(shouldn't be more than 40 minutes). If not, hold the home & sleep/wake button until it is black, and then it restarts.

Satellite P20-771 with Windows 7: no sound and screen goes white

Hi all.. I installed Windows 7 Ultimate on this machine. I tried latest Realtek AC97 drivers, the driver installs and everything seems fine but no sound is produced at all. As for Video Card I used some modded Nvidia Drivers 97.xx I found at Guru 3D.. there's no way to activate AERO, the pc hangs if I try.
I set the system to turn off the screen after 10 minutes of no use.. it goes white instead. How so? Any clue? Also, does anyone know if there's any modded driver that can run AERO? All the ones I tried did not work.

No, it's just a driver issue. I once had Vista running aero on an Nvidia 5200. It seems that FX 5700 can run Aero with Nvidia Modded Drivers 97.46 as for this post: http://www.vistaheads.com/forums/microsoft-public-windows-vista/78791-driver-per-toshiba-laptop-p20-771-nvidia-ge-force-fx-5700-trovatiiiiiiiiiiii.html
However those same drivers won't enable aero under W7.
Anyone knows anything about the audio issue and the white screen? I tried different modded drivers.. some will produce garbage on screen, other will reboot the machine if DX9 is involved. These 97.46 won't produce garbage but for example won't run Google Earth (hang the program) while 174.xx can...

MBP 15 is running and screen goes white with thin vert lines

Running normally and if I adjust the screen angle it goes white with lines. Just started happening. 10.5.8 about 4 years old

Based on your post, that seems the most likely problem but it could be something else. Before any repair is attempted, the problem has to be properly defined. You may try iFixit.com and see if they can advise you, have a replacement part and attempt to fix it yourself. This certainly depends upon all the chips falling into the right place with no guarantees of success. You must also consider the age of the MBP and its worth vs. the cost of the repair.

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.

Firefox 4.0 freezes, crashes, closes, changes screens, does not respond, and runs 8X SLOWER than 3.6.

Firefox 4.0 is the WORST browser I have ever seen. It freezes, crashes, closes, changes screens, does not respond, and runs 8X SLOWER than 3.6. Tasks I used to do in 30 minutes, now takes me 40 minutes or more. I went back to 3.6 and immediately had a tremendous improvement.
Mozilla needs to get rid of this load of lies about a new crap program, and go back to the 3.6 version. Version 4.0 is WORST than any other program I have ever seen.

The slow / hesitant scrolling problem seems to be an artifact of the database Firefox uses to keep track of where you go, what you do, etc. It uses sqlite databases which get fragmented over time.
There are several fixes:
Some are add-ons and work internally, such as Vacuum Places (search the addons for it).
Some are external. Speedyfox is one I just tried, and found to work quite well. I think it did a better job than Vacuum Places, but requires Firefox to be shut down before it can work properly.
Find Speedyfox using a web search.

I recently installed Adobe Flash Player 11 ActiveX--11.4.402.265 and when I open My Mozilla Firefox browser I keep getting this message flashing on my screen: '

I recently installed Adobe Flash Player 11 ActiveX--11.4.402.265 and when I open My Mozilla Firefox browser I keep getting this message flashing on my screen: 'Adobe Flash Player 11.4 r402 has stopped working" and then "Windows is checking for a solution"
This flashes a few times then usually stops but not always.
It happens every time I try to open a new page.
I fixed this problem by uninstalling Adobe Flash Player 11 and installing Adobe Flash Player 10.3. However, now my IE browser wants me to install Adobe Flash Player 11 again. Although I don't use my IE browser frequently, I DO have to use it sometimes. Will there be an update to Firefox 15.0 to correct this issue?

Thank you, your solution worked great.

My firefox keeps sayin Not Responding and frezzes on me every 5-15 mintues

I have windows7 and my Firefox keeps freezing and saying Not Responding and is out for a minute or two, it does this frequently (5-15 mins), and i dont get any crazh reports and it doesnt close the window on me..

I have 4 computers in my home office and I also have a laptop. Firefox hangs on all 4 of these computers under windows, and on my laptop, and even under linux. Flash simply doesn't work on Firefox. This has been true on all operating systems from windows XP to windows 7. I haven't tried windows 8, but I'd be surprised if it works there. It performs poorly on ubuntu 12.04 as well.
I usually see the hanging behavior within about 10 minutes of starting firefox. Visiting utube or other flash heavy sites exacerbates the problem.
I am always astonished when mozilla claims that it's only a small minority of users who see the hanging behavior. I have never seen firefox be stable since they went to the rapid update cycle. For this reason I now exclusively use chrome, even though chrome's UI is pathetic, and I hate chrome actually.
Unfortunately Firefox is unusable. If Firefox were so bug free, then why has it's market share plummeted over the last couple of years? Frankly they need to fix the bugs for all platforms prior to another useless update. Fast light and robust would bring back the fanbase.
Here is a little you tube video that causes an instant hang for me.
