Loading youtube videos crashes my browser - both mozilla firefox and safari. Now I can't get firefox to load any page, although safari still works. It started when I clicked on a youtube link on FB 2 weeks ago. Any ideas, anyone?

youtube is crashing my browser - both firefox mozilla and safari. Now I cannot load firefox browser at all, but safari still works - except for youtube, which immediately crashes it....any ideas, anyone?

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

  • IPad crashed w/ iTunes logo, Apple store restore it, now I can't get my app

    I'm pretty new in Apple world, iPad is pretty much my very first Apple product. I love it but this problem been driving me nuts in the last couple days.
    My ipad crashed last week, the one w/ the plugged into itunes logo. I had to bring to Apple store to figure out whats wrong and they offered me to restore it, alright fine...it's restored within 10 minutes. before I left the store, I asked them again will I get all my apps back from iTunes ?? and they said +"yes, as long as you download from itunes, you can re-download it again from itunes+".
    So here I am, been trying to re-download all my Apps back since couple days ago, I plugged into iTunes and can't figure out at all !! I read this support : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1391 but I didn't see any "purchased" in my iTunes 10.2.0.34.
    Please apple-itunes-ipad-guru....help this poor guy !! my 2 year old daughter been saying "+ipad ipad ipad+" but I can't give this ipad to her yet without all her beloved games, otherwise she might get frustrated

    thank you nick101 for your reply. seems like that's the only way, yes ? i wish there is a better way to re-download the whole apps by a click, instead of search it one by one, unless I miss something here ? Anyway ive been downloading all the apps one by one, hopefully it will be done soon. thanks again nick101 !!
    There's no easier way just using iTunes, which is annoying; you can make it easier by regularly syncing the iPad to your desktop and taking backups of the desktop.

    Cloud with down arrow icon should allow for download, if not...
    Try turning iphone off, then back on. If not, try resetting.  Hold home and power button approx 10 seconds until apple appears.  Back to app store and click search and look in purchased apps, or just search for your app. Should be able to download, unless it was pulled from the app store, and no longer sold.

  • Unable to load youtube videos. Neither browsing nor the youtube app are working, this hapenned after I updated to iOS6

    Unable to load youtube videos. Neither browsing nor the youtube app are working, the video start loading but nothing more happen. This issue is hapenning after I updated to iOS 6.

    Try this first.
    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.
    And then try this.
    Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. 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.
    And ... Are you using the mobile YouTube website?

  • I instAlled link gopher 1.3.2 in firefox and it wont show up on my firefox browser so i can use it

    i instAlled link gopher 1.3.2 in firefox and it wont show up on my firefox browser so i can use it. also i can not get any addons to show up. i had downthem all and i got that to to show by clicking view/toolbars/customize and dragging it to my toolbar but even that does not show up and gopher 1.3.2 does not show up in view/toolbars/cuntomize. how can i get these addons to show up?

    This is probably some corruption in the settings file that stores the on-screen position of the Firefox window. Could you try the steps in this thread: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/980358 opens off monitor screen]. Any luck?

  • Can't get X11 to load, hard crashes with Geforce 8200M

    I can't get Xwindows to load on a new laptop I recently got. Ubuntu Live 64bit works fine, even can install the NVIDIA drivers and get 3D support on it (tested this before I purchased the laptop). So in Arch Linux (64bit) I downloaded the main NVIDIA driver package, module loads fine. When I try to start Xwindows, I get a "bus error" as regular user. When I try root, my machine crashes hard (can't even toggle CAPS lock). I can't even load Xwindows with the VESA driver, it complains about MTRR not matching correctly.
    Specs on the machine can be found here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/docu … ct=3860070
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. I also tried the 190 beta drivers, same problems occur. I can get any log files if needed later, I don't have immediate access to the machine.
    Thank you in advance,

That combination didn't allow Xorg to start properly. I don't get an error at all. I get a failure or a halt when the Nvidia driver attempts to replace the ACPI hotkey events
    Are you able to load it properly using vesa of nv drivers? I can't seem to get mine to load with any driver- it always crashes hard.

    Apple's Limited Warranty http://www.apple.com/legal/warranty/ for iPad excludes coverage for damage resulting from accident, disassembly, unauthorized service and unauthorized modifications.
    The warranty will apply to the country of purchase. And if there is a problem needing repair you have to return it to the country of purchase.
    Out-of-Warranty Service
         If you own an iPad that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will replace (Apple doesn't repair) your iPad with an iPad that is new or equivalent to new in both performance and reliability for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below. (The replacement will most likely be a refurbished iPad in a brown box, however, it has a new screen, back and battery.)   
    iPad model
    Out-of-Warranty Service Fee
    iPad mini
    $219
    iPad 3rd, 4th, Air
    $299
    iPad 2, iPad
    $249
    A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if service is arranged through Apple and requires shipping. All fees are in US dollars and are subject to local tax.
    Certain damage is ineligible for out-of-warranty service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications. However, an iPad that has failed due to contact with liquid may be eligible for out-of-warranty service. See http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipad
    Make a Genius Bar Reservation
    http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/
    You may can get the iPad repaired at 3rd party repair sources for less $, however, any remaining Apple warranty will be voided.

    In trying to download itunes 11, I keep getting the message, verfiy that you have access to parental advisory. When I click yes it continually re tries but doesn`t load. Any ideas ???
    Actual message
    Error writing to file;C:\programs files(x86)\itunes.resourses\da.lproj\parentaladvisory.png. Verfiy that you have access to that directory.

    Sorry I can't help but I do get the same error. Previous versions of iTunes on Win XP machine ran fine. I have uninstalled, rebooted, and tried a new install but still get the same error. I can access the directory via Windows Explorer so not sure why the error says it can't access the directory.

  • If I load a video on a nano to give out at a business conference can recipients see the video when they open the device? Iwas told it will wipe when a new user opens the device.

    No, it will wipe it when they try to connect it to a computer and set it up under their own Apple ID. When they turn on the device the first time without connecting it to anything they will be able to see the video.

    I guess you could try but I don't believe Apple can help with activation lock issues.  They may, however, be able to determine if the Apple ID belongs to one of you and reset the password for you if you can prove your identity.
    You might want to try calling Apple by going to https://expresslane.apple.com; click 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID'.  In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password'.  Perhaps they can help determine if it's your ID and reset the password for you (and they probably have more expertise in doing this than the Apple store).
