    When I try and select these buttons, nothing happens. This is a brand new netbook and the first thing I did was download firefox. Is there a way I can correct this?

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]

    Hi Mariah ~
    It's Shaunn, the original poster. Thanks for your posting. I'm glad I'm not the only one that's having this problem.
    Now that you mention it, I'm having the exact same problem on Facebook as well, when I play Family Feud.
    I wish someone would investigate and post a solution to this problem. No-one from Playlist has responded, and no-one "Officially" from Firefox either.
    So Mariah, I appreciate you and your post.
    If you find anything out...from anywhere...would you please let me know. You can post it right here and I'll get an email from Firefox.
    I'll do the same for you.
    Enjoy your day and good luck.

  • How do I get Javascript to work? It is enabled in options but nothing happens when I select something that begins "javascript" on the status bar at the bottom of screen.

    When I tried to download a file from the Canon U.S.A, I clicked on the "I agree - begin download" button and nothing happened. The information in the status bar at bottom of screen, when the mouse cursor is over the download button is "javascript:downloadFile()". I got following from the error console -
    Error: The stylesheet http://www.usa.canon.com/wsss/GeneratedPages/wsss_xsl/global.css was not loaded because its MIME type, "text/html", is not "text/css".
    Source File: http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/printers_multifunction/i_series/i950_series?selectedName=DriversAndSoftware
    There were also many warnings about parsing of commands.
    This sort of thing seems to happens whenever whenever javascript is involved.

    I checked out the "Unable to download or save files" section. The only thing that seemed applicable was the "Reset download actions" section. I renamed the mimeTypes.rdf file to mimeTypes.rdf.old but it didn't seem to have any effect on downloading the file I wanted. There was still no response when I asked for the download.
    I have noticed another problem that occurs when I try to download this file. I exit Firefox, then try to restart it. But nothing happens. I have discovered that in the Task Manager that the Firefox process is still running. When I end the Firefox process in the Task Manager, I am then able to restart Firefox.
    By the way, I am able to download the file using Internet Explorer without difficulty.

  • Aperture 2.1.4 with Snow Leopard opens but unable to customize toolbar. Nothing happens when I select view/customize.

    Installed 2.1.4 on an iMac with 3GB Ram using 10.6.8 OSX.
    Experiencing two problems for now.
    1. Attempts to customize toolbar has no response. The boxes appear but no screen with the tools to import.
    2. I did the standard install over AP 1.5 and all library photos for 1.5 appear in 2.1.4 but
    when opening a project/folder picture it will open and the "Loading" message appears but the wheel is not moving?
    I'm using 2.1 over 3.0 because I have it and not ready to spend more until I get this working. I plan to go to LION OSX
    once Aperture functons correctly.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Updated to snow leopard and had the same problem that when the thumbnails where placed on the bottom I could only scroll left or right when no picture was marked... so I placed the thumbnails to the left side and scrolling worked normally even with a a marked picture...I also had bad color sync problems and switching screens would cause my windows to become almost black and unreadable..... I reinstalled my Leopard clone drive shortly there after... oh well... it took a while before leopard was ready for professional use.... I didn't really expect Snow leopard to be different... I will check back in at 10.6.4 or so LOL

    These are Java files.  http://www.java.com/en/ is where you can get the latest Java for your operating system. If your Java files need an older version of Java, there are instructions on the web to downgrade Mac Java, but it is difficult, and poses security issues.

  • Nothing happens when connect iTouch to mac - is the cable already dead?

    Last week when I connected my (4 week old) touch to the right-side usb port, nothing happened, but then it connected fine to the left-sided port; bit funny I thought, but got on with my syncing etc. Today, nothing happens when I connect on either side. Do I have a problem with the USB cable?
    Thanks in advance for any help...

    Macs can get USB errors just like any other computer. Try restarting or shutting down and restarting and then try syncing again.

  • I am connected to the internet and when I google a topic the screen shows what it found, however the screen is gray and nothing happens when clicking on the screen to select the topic.  Is something wrong on my settings.

    Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (and Clear History)
    If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    A third option is a reset : 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.

  • MAC: Premiere Pro won't play. Nothing happens when pressing spacebar, nor play button on timeline

  • I am trying to "pin" to pinterest through a dialogue box and nothing happens when I hit "pin" and I also tried to send a message through linked in dialogue box and nothing happens when I hit "send"

    Why does nothing happen when I'm trying to perform an action/command through a pop-up dialogue box, such as sending a message on linkedin or attempting to pin on pinterest?

    All future installs/updates of Muse (and most other Adobe apps) are through the Creative Cloud desktop app. Thus you do need to have it installed.
    Are you on Windows or Mac? What OS version?

  • Nothing happens when I print.

    Nothing happens when I try to print if I'm using Photoshop, or Acrobat. Sometimes nothing happens in InDesign, but it worked fine with illustrator. I haven't had any printing problems with other non-adobe applications. Also Photoshop can find my scanner and scan from it just fine. The printer is an Epson all-in-one and the drivers are up to date. My os is OSX 10.9.2 but I had this problem before a recent os update.
    Just to clarify if I'm in a program and I choose print, I go though and select the settings I need in the box, and hit print. Then Nothing.

  • Nothing happens when I press PRINT via wireless printer sharing

    I have Mac G5 and Mac Mini, both with Mac OS X 10.4.7, both with Airport Extreme cards connected wirelessly to my Linksys router. I have Printer Sharing enabled on the G5 and selected "shared HP printer" on the Mac Mini. Everything appears to be setup correctly. However, I display the Print... dialog on the Mac Mini and click OK and nothing happens. I can click until I'm blue in the face. Nothing happens when I click Preview either. This has been this way for a long time. I THINK, and I repeat, I THINK there was a known issue with this that was fixed in, say, 10.3.x, and I recall ONE TIME was I able to print. I'm trying to recall, but I think when I upgraded to 10.4 I'm back to nothing happening.
    Any clues? I'm Mac savvy and, as far as I know, have everything set correctly--not that it should require much effort. Second, as a possible linked problem, similarly, when the Mac Mini sees the G5 in the Network Browser and I click "Connect..." the connection is made, then disconnected a few seconds later. So I'm thinking something may be hosed in the sharing department of the G5, but I wouldn't know what or where.
    Thanx for any assistance!

    This thread may be of some help, though I am not completely sure if it applies to wireless printer sharing; it's the same symptom though:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=424795&tstart=0
    Another possibility is to make sure the machines have the same version of the HP drivers.
    Hope this helps.
