Little circle turns/ page doesn't load/ problem triangle comes up almost all the time

The little connecting circle comes on and turns no matter what -- whether it's from a bookmark, an email, a typed in address. It turns and turns, then either times out or says problem loading page ALMOST all the time (I can't figure our why or why not). I just downloaded the latest versions of both Firefox & Thunderbird. I check my AVG and Firefox has a clear pass.

It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

    Hai Matt
    I have a problem with download a new app. While I bought iphone5, I take iphone to shopkeeper for download some app and videos that he used his Apple ID . That's t problem now.. Not all the time his ID is appearing but some times his Apple ID is appearing that time I can't download app, videos, songs.. So please guide me to remove that ID or how to solve that..
    Regards
    Babu

    Check Settings/iTunes and AppStore/AppleID and make sure that your AppleID is filled in. If not , sign out and sign in with the correct info.
    To make sure that no other apps or videos are on your device than the one you bought, set it up as new device, explained here: How to back up your data and set up as a new device
    Content that is not bought with your ID can't be used on your phone, that's why his ID and password is asked when you try to use those apps downloaded in the store.

  • Any problem leaving my MacBook on all the time for the new AppleTV?

    I now have two new AppleTVs, both of which Home Share with my one MacBook.
    Home Sharing only works when my MacBook is powered up and iTunes is running.
    Questions are...
    Is there a problem with leaving my MacBook plugged in and turned on all the time? Battery health?
    Is there any way to make iTunes Home Sharing work with the cover closed?
    Suggestions?

    I'll clarify my questions. I am using my MacBook the same way you would use a home computer, like a MacPro or a MacMini. I have it hooked to a home TV and I use a bluetooth keyboard and magic pad to operate it. It just sits next to the TV like cable box does.
    Issue #1) My MacBook is plugged in and turned on all the time, 24/7. This is not a problem for a MacPro or MacMini since neither one has a battery, so my first questions are: Will this destroy the battery's ability to maintain a charge when I do occasionally use my MacBook as a portable? Also, could this be a fire hazard since laptop batteries tend to get warm?
    Issue #2) With the cover closed, the MacBook continues to operate as long as it is receiving periodic input from the keyboard or trackpad. However, once the TV that it is connected to is turned off, the MacBook goes to sleep since it's no longer hooked to a display, either it's own (cover closed) or the TV monitor (turned off). Next question is: Is there any way to keep this MacBook and iTunes operating in this condition (turned on, but cover closed and TV monitor off) so that I can continue to HomeShare with the other AppleTVs in the house?

  • Macbook battery life,  is there a problem If I keep it plugged almost all the time?

    Hello.
    New Mac user here, so I was wondering if there's a problem if I keep my MBP plugged all the time.
    Most of the time I'm on my room using my MBP fully charged and I don't disconnect it.
    Is there a problem with my batter life if I do that?
    Or it's recommended to unplug and use it till the battery run off and then charge it again?
    Because I work a lot on my MBP and that way in a simple day I could charge it and run uff the energy of the battery 2 to 3 times at day.
    What's better for the life of my battery?
    And if you could give me some advices to maintenance my battery and Macbook pro (also programs) I would appreciate it.
    I own a Macbook Pro 13-inch, Mid 2012
    2.9 GHz Intel Core i7
    8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB
    With OS X 10.9
    Thanks

    No. I do that most of the time.  Perhaps monthly I discharge it to the 40% level to keep the battery happy.  Do not discharge the battery completely.  If you are forced to use only battery power and you see the battery is low warning terminate your session or plug into AC if you can.
    Here are Apple articles with official battery usage guidelines:

  • The page is asking if I want to close it all the time for no reason and even if I say yes it does nothing. This happens randomly and constantly and I cant do anything unless I get rid of it.

    this happens every time I use firefox and constantly

    when I am on the internet and using firefox a popup screen comes up and asks me if I want to leave this page. I have not tried to close anything at all and it happens all the time.

  • Page outs going crazy for basic tasks - Mac stalls all the time - what's up?!

    Hey, guys. So I have no idea what the problem is. Basically my mac is just going extremely slow and stalling sometimes for the most basic tasks. Mail, Safari, iTunes. It's a late '09 model, basic.
    Check this out:
    [IMG]http://i44.tinypic.com/2ewkri1.png[/IMG]

    There is excessive swapping of data between physical memory and virtual memory. That can happen for two reasons:
    You have a long-running process with a memory leak (i.e., a bug), or
    You don't have enough memory installed for your usage pattern.
    Tracking down a memory leak can be difficult, and it may come down to a process of elimination.
    When you notice the swap activity, open the Activity Monitor application and select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected. Click the heading of the Real Mem column in the process table twice to sort the table with the highest value at the top. If you don't see that column, select
    View ▹ Columns ▹ Real Memory
    from the menu bar.
    If one process (excluding "kernel_task") is using much more memory than all the others, that could be an indication of a leak. A better indication would be a process that continually grabs more and more real memory over time without ever releasing it. Here is an example of how it's done.
    The process named "Safari Web Content" renders web pages for Safari and other applications. It uses a lot of memory and may leak if certain Safari extensions or third-party web plugins are installed. Consider it a prime suspect.
    If you don't have an obvious memory leak, your options are to install more memory (if possible) or to run fewer programs simultaneously.
    The next suggestion is only for users familiar with the shell. For a more precise, but potentially misleading, test, run the following command: 
    sudo leaks -nocontext -nostacks process | grep total
    where process is the name of a process you suspect of leaking memory. Almost every process will leak some memory; the question is how much, and especially how much the leak increases with time. I can’t be more specific. See the leaks(1) man page and the Apple developer documentation for details.

  • My macbook Air can't cool down - what is the problem? ventilation is on all the time

    My macbook air seems to never cool down. Ventilation is always on.

    are you gaming, if so its normal.
    reset SMC
    SMC reset
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer. 
    Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

  • Problem: Fan at full speed all the time - even when the Mac is turned off

    Hello,
    my Mac mini suffers from a very strange problem. I've had it for half a year now and recently bought a new power adaptor since my old one got damaged. I plugged it in and everything was fine - until half an hour afterwards, when the fan suddenly made itself noticeable at full speed. But it didn't stop; it went on, curiously even when I shut the Mac mini down. That's right. even when the system's turned off. The noise is really unbearable and only stops when I plug off the power cord.
    Any ideas why this is happening?

    My Mini started doing this yesterday. I came home from work and the fan was going full blast. Even after shutting the machine down, the fan would continue to run at full speed (and it is LOUD...much louder than my full tower desktop PC with 4 80mm fans). The only way to stop the fan is to completely unplug the Mini from the power supply.
    I doubt that this is due to faulty wiring as my Mini is plugged in to a very nice UPS unit that conditions the power.
    Now, I'm willing to admit that this may be entirely my fault since I have upgraded my Mini with 1 GB of RAM, a Pioneer DVD burner, and a higher capacity hard drive. However, the Mini has been running 24-hours-a-day for 5-6 months since my final upgrade, so it would seem that my upgrades are unrelated to this issue. Also, since someone else is having the same problem, again, my upgrades seem unrelated.
    I was told on another forum to try resetting the PMU, which I will try when I get home today. If it works, I'll post. Seems unlikely though since the fan runs even when the Mini is powered down.
    If anyone has any other ideas, I'd be glad to hear them. I'm assuming that my Mini is no longer under the 1-year warranty since I have performed so many upgrades myself, so, if this problem is something that can only be fixed by Apple, then it will probably cost an arm and a leg.

  • Sign-in doesn't work properly; need to sign in all the time between windows although signed in for 2 weeks.

    popup appears out of nowhere reading "We noticed you may have signed in or signed out in another window. Click OK to reload your page" Leads you to sign in again.
    This is not a problem with the old Flock, Chrome, or IE, just Firefox.
    It appears that anytime one leaves mail or personal home page and goes to a website, a sign-in is required to get back to mail or personal homepage.
    I have run out of ideas using tools-options, etc. setups.
    I am addressing Firefox 4.0.1, and Windows XP
    Clarence

    Cleared everything, several time over several days, no change.
    Still have not diagnosed the problem and I have made a lot of changes, including re-loading M.FireFox 4.0.1 with ATT Yahoo vers. 1.8
    It sometimes appears that the sign-in times out, although I tried signing in for 2 weeks and also 1 day. ATT Yahoo has a sign-in seal one can setup and use. It is fine and works only that one day or until one signs out, than it is history.

  • There was an error loading this content...happens all the time

    at least three times I day I have to unplug and plug in the power as it gives me the "there was an error loading this content" message constantly...why does this happen?  This is a very frustrating device

    That will usually indicate a network issue.
    What is your current connection via speedtest.net
    Make sure DNS is set to auto (settings - general - network)
    If on wifi try ethernet
    You can go to istumbler, netstumbler or similar to see a report of the network, look for signal strength and noise

  • Continually allowing a page to reload automatically without havning to push "Allow" all the time

    On a Sports website (Espncricinfo.com) the website is continually being reloaded to allow the new commentary to be shown. Instead of this happening automatically, there is a notice bar at the top of the page which states that 'Firefox has prevented this page from automatically reloading.'

    Go to '''Tools '''> '''Options '''menu. In the Options window, select '''Advanced '''and then select the '''General '''tab.<BR>
    Under '''Accessibility''', make sure that there is no tick mark against '''Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page''' option. Click '''OK'''.

  • Can't load website with .jsp - get blank page?  Doesn't happen all the time

    When I try to open American Eagle Outfitters website, I get a blank page and it will not open. The site is ending in index.jsp. I have 3 computers and it does it sporatically on all 3. ie. 1 may open the website, 2 won't or 2 might open website and 1 won't or none of the 3 will open. I know this has to be something simple but it has been doing this for about 3 months and it is driving me nuts because I can't get on there to pay my bill or even shop! Help!!
    Thanks

    I'm having the exact same problem! I've been using the website a lot recently, and then just about a week ago the website just wouldn't load. The page would go white and would say "Done" at the bottom of the screen. I tried googling the website to try and go in through there, and I can only seem to enter the site through "Find a Store Near You". Only this page seems to work, and whenever I click on "Women" or "Clearance" or "WishList" or anything else the page just goes white again and won't load. I've googled "websites won't load" and I've tried all the suggested steps and nothing seems to be working. I order off AE all the time and was ready to place an order, which I now can't do because I can't even sign in to the website.
