Macbook frozen reboot won't work. Firefox won't quit . Opened iMac to search answers froze on opening what is going on????

My Macbook crashed when Firefox opened at start.I Did a restart same thing but even less responsive ended up with grey screen. have tried rebooting from DVD and using disk utility as was not sure of problem. MacBook is completely unresponsive now. Turned on old iMac to search for a Mac fix it shop and iMac crashes instantly upon opening as Firefox opens automatically. IMac had not been used for 5 months at least. Can't be a coincidence, nothing like this has happened before. I only other new thing is I changed providers the same day computer crashed... For first hour or so it was just slow. Thought just bugs needed ironing out. I had just bought an external HD to back up to. This is my work computer..my life is in there and I can't access it HELP!!! Please I am using a friends Ipad to post question on!

My FaceTime won't work it won't let me sign in but my wifi is working on my brother what can I do to fix it?

Are you trying to FaceTime to your computer, or iPhone with your iPod? Do they share the same address? If so change the address to one of your devices, otherwise it's like trying to call yourself from the same phone. If not the problem, then I'm not understanding your question. Could you restate it with a little more detail. Good luck.

Try resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next try connecting the iPod to your computer and restoring the iPod from backup via iTunes.
- If itunes does not see the iPod, see if placing the iPod in recovery mode will make it visible so you can restire it. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

First of all, why did you say yes to Nero Back up before researching what it does with files already on the HDD? When I install Nero, the Back Up is the first thing I disable, it is a nagging pain, there are much better backup programs available. There are several file recovery programs out there to recover deleted files, that is, if that is what happened. Also, if you haven't overwritten the files, so you should be able to find them.

After migrating to a new MacBook Air from an older MacBook, iPhoto gets stuck on uploading cache, it just "spins" forever. I downloaded a new iPhoto app and replaced it but when opened it just does the same thing? What is going on?

Is there a better app?
Thanks, Chris

Take the system to an Apple store to be fixed or replaced as the one you have has defective hardware.

Hard drive sensor or logic board failure.
Try a SMC Reset, only thing I can help.

Check your tones with this sounds like it's not recognizing the RAM, perhaps it's not seated well or making a bad connection or it's defective.

I just updated to mountain lion and now pandora won't work, videos won't work, i can't access my iTunes.... the list goes on. HELP!

I recently updated to mountain lion and many of my most used programs won't work....
pandora
itunes
hulu
any vidoes.... says pop up blocked
somehow I can't change any of my security preferences
SUPER FRUSTRATING

So what happens if you go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General? Are you able to go there at all? If you are able to go there, can you unlock the preferences using the lock in the lower left and your login name and password?
If you are able to do this, can you change the "Allow applications downloaded from:" to Anywhere?
Best of luck.

Firefox on my Mac has been so slow the past few days, what's going on?

The past week, every time I click on anything - an e-mail in gmail, something on a website I want to go to, the arrow to scroll on a page, the Mac colorwheel comes on and it takes forever. I finally got so frustrated I switched back to my old Safari. But this is a new problem, and I didn't do anything to the computer to cause it. My internet connection is fine (cable) as Safari works great. So what's going on? (I have version 3.5.9)

You should also update Flash.
See http://www.mozilla.com/plugincheck/
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Firefox is a web browser not a homepage.
It sounds like you you have the old www.google.com/firefox/ start page that used to be the default homepage in Firefox before Firefox 4.0 sometime. It is not being maintained by Google anymore so either ignore the message or while in Firefox go to Tools->Options->General->Homepage section and change your homepage.

I just downloaded the new 4.0 an now when I click on the tab it won't even load up, it'll look like the page will show up but then it won't an the it'll look like I never even clicked on it. What is going on? Why won't firefox work?

My firefox was working perfectly before when I had the 3.6 but now it just won't load up at ALL! I've dealt with it crashing on me while I was on the internet but I've never clicked on the tab OVER an OVER again an still not even having the home page show up on my screen. Its getting really frustrating and I now really wish I'd of just left my firefox the way it was. . .can you please help me??

Please do the following. 
#Use Internet Explorer 8 or 9 and go to [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/?ref=logo Download Firefox 4.0.1] Do not choose "Run" when you see the prompt, but instead choose "Save" and save the file to your desktop. 
#Then go to Add/Remove Programs, scroll down to "Mozilla Firefox" and remove it, choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc., (don't checkmark the box). 
#Then reboot and delete the folder called "Mozilla Firefox" at this location: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox 
#Finally run the installation file you downloaded to the desktop earlier. 
Your bookmarks, customizations etc., are maintained in a different location and will become available to you again once you complete the installation. 
'''To reset your home page, do the following'''. 
* Go to the site you want to set as your homepage. 
* Click the orange Firefox button and go to '''Options '''| '''Options '''| '''General'''. 
* Make sure it says "''Show My Homepage''" in the first dropdown menu. 
* Click the button called "'''Use Current Pages'''" to set the homepage to the one you have on the screen. 
Here are a few tips to make FF4 look like the previous version in case you don't like the new design. 
* Right click a blank part of the tab bar and click "Tabs on top" to remove the checkmark. Tabs will subsequently reappear below the search bar. 
* Repeat the same steps, but click the top one called "Menu bar". This will reinstate the text links at the top. 
* To rearrange the layout, repeat the same steps again and choose "Customize". A panel will open and while that remains onscreen, you can move elements like toolbars, buttons etc around and place them anywhere you wish. You can also drag anything you don't like into that panel and add anything you want by dragging it out of there. 
* To replace the status bar at the foot of the page, install this add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/status-4-evar/

Firefox won't work and won't install on my computer.

Here's the situation: I was using Firefox today and it was working fine. A window popped up saying it was updating Firefox or something like that. After that, Firefox stopped working saying "trouble loading page." It is not my internet connection as Internet Explorer still works just fine. I even tried re-starting my computer which did not help. I also uninstalled Firefox and tried to re-install it with again, no luck. I really need help with this as I am taking an online class that works best with Firefox.

Was that a Firefox window or possibly a fake pop-up created by a web page?

On my Macbook Pro, the latest version of Firefox won't recognize the "Command-W" command to close windows or the "Command-C" command to copy / paste text.

I'm fine when I use Chrome and Safari -- but I'd rather use Firefox. I have done a clean reinstall of Firefox and I'm still having the problems. Any ideas?

When I'm trying to sync my iPad with iTunes on my MacBook Pro, i keep getting a message that certain recent purchases (TV shows) won't sync because the computer is not authorized. But, it IS authorized! What's going on here??

I've recently upgraded my iPad to OS 5 and I am running iTunes 10 on my MacBook Pro. For some unexplainable reason, I'm now getting a message that items (mainly TV shows I've purchased through iTunes) are not able to be downloaded because the computer is "not authorized." But the computer IS authorized. I follow the instructions to "authorize" it and, of course, I'm then told that the computer is already authorized! Still, the downloads won't sync.
Can anyone help me out with this?

I have the same problem. It is only with tv shows and only with programs I have downloaded after the software update.
Apple support sent me the above link too....but it doesn't solve the problem...my computer is authorized and the content is in my library and will play on my Mac air, but it will not sync the tv shows, it keeps saying my computer isn't authorized for it.
No answers here, but you are definitely not alone with this issue.

Desktop Problem-Icons Won't Work or Won't Adjust

Yesterday my desktop icons decided to not work. I could not open from the desktop, move folders, etc. It is as if they were all locked. I COULD open Finder, go to Desktop, and open files and start apps from there. Then I went to View Options, clicked Snap To Grid, and all icons moved. I then turned it off (None). But the icons won't respond. They are stuck in "Snap to Grid." I still can't open a folder on the desktop, but applications will now start.
This is a bizarre one. Any help would be appreciated.

I've been having this problem as well, restarting only corrects it for about an hour or so. Was not able to find the library com.apple.finder.plist file in my library and then did a universal search using that string and no results. Not sure why other people have that preference file and I don't. This is a frustrating problem that will influence my decision to purchase new Macs in the future. It's a real time waster. In addition, often when I click on a folder, it comes up empty, even though there may be hundreds of files in the folder. It seems it's part of the same problem, inasmuch as the finder can't process data nodes correctly. The only solution is to open the folder, close it, and open it again and then the files inside it appear, albeit slowly.

PS downloaded via CC seemed to download fine but won't work. Won't even open a file/document.

I recently got a new computer and I have CC so I downloaded the CC app and downloaded LR and PS. LR runs/works fine. PS seemed to download ok but won't even open a new file:picture. I am very frustrated as I have spoken with CC tech support and they were of no help, in fact that didn't even have a clue how to navigate Windows 8! I have been working on this for a week and now very behind on my editing. Not sure who to call or what to do. Please help!! Thank you!!!

What does the crash report say about the name of the faulting module?
Yes, crashes like that are usually due to the video card driver. (though I was guessing from the original description that the image was just not drawing)
Have you tried disabling GPU drawing in Photoshop before opening a document?
Have you updated your video card driver from the GPU maker's website?
