My back/forward buttons don't work - have done 'reset toolbars and controls', but they still don't work

When I downloaded the latest version I got a new screen with the orange Firefox tab at the top. That was fine, I could find what I wanted, but back/forward buttons didn't work. I checked the help section and went right through the suggestions down to 'reset toolbars and controls' - this did reset and I lost the orange box - that doesn't matter, but the back/forward buttons still don't work.

Do you have more than one tab open? If you didn't go to another site in a single tab, then yes, the buttons will be greyed out. If you went somewhere in another tab, then those sites should be accessible by right clicking either button.

Back & forward buttons won't work after going full screen

I have a Logitech cordless mouse. When ever I'm watching a
video, like on You Tube, and I go to full screen, my mouse
back/forward buttons won't work, and I have to re boot my computer.
I have tried every thing Logitech told me to do, but still have the
problem. They think it's a flash player problem. I saw that one
other person in the forums has the same problem. Any ideas?
Thanks, Shawn.

I can't find the preferences section of itunes. where is it because it isn't at the very top of the screen and I didn't see it anywhere else. i hasn't told me that the back-up is corrupted so I don't know about that. I just know that it always comes up with the error message 50 when I try to get the back-up restored to it.

What error do you get if any?
Have you tried connecting to another network besides your own?
Do you use DHCP on your router or static IP address?

You could try syncing the contacts with yahoo or google contacts, then sync them to the iPhone. Or, export the contacts and then import them into one of the aforementioned servicse, or iCloud, then sync to the phone.

Before you restore the iPod from the backup that Dave had you make yu have to transfer stuff from the iPod to the computer since the backup does not contain the apps themselfes, music, synced phots and some other stuff. To see what a backup contains see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946
To transfer iTunes purchases:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- For other stuff you need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support CommunitiesA lot of thos are paid, especiall for more than a limited number of items. It is harder to find one that does synced photos.

Can anyone please tell me how to stop email previews from appearing on my screen. I have turned off the preview option in settings on both my ipad and iphone, but they still keep appearing. Thanks

works ok on mine - (5, 7.1.1). Try again. with previews set to none, mine shows the sender and the subject line only. (you cannot get rid of the subject) with the other settings, you get the sender, subject line and however many lines you selected.

Why are the back/forwards buttons no longer working after upgrade?

Hi, I recently upgraded from Firefox 3.5 (I believe) to Firefox 4.0.1 and now the back and forwards buttons no longer work. I tried resetting the settings under the toolbars > customize, etc. That didn't work. FYI, I'm using a mac. Any solutions? Thanks in advance...

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Bookmarks_history_and_toolbar_buttons_not_working_-_Firefox
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Mouse back/forward buttons no longer work in v29

firefox 29
windows 8.1 update (1) - IE all M$ updates installed
logitech M570 mouse
my mouse back and forward buttons no longer work in v29. i tried FF safe mode, i tried with logitech setpoint 6.5 enabled and disabled, resetting setpoint. i don't want to "reset firefox" because i just did a fresh windows install and fresh firefox 28 install before upgrading to FF29 a few days later.....
BTW the back/forward buttons work in all other installed programs as well as FF28 in my windows 7 machine.
thanks in advance for any replies....

apologies for another reply. also, the back/forward icons (to the left of the URL area) work just fine. it's only the mouse buttons that don't work and after years of using them, i REALLY miss them!
thanks

I have the latest plugins and firefox but it still says 'adobe flash plugin has crashed' How do i fix this?

Every time I go on YouTube, it comes up with: 'adobe flash plugin has crashed'. I have tried refreshing and restarting my laptop, I have also got all the latest flash and Firefox, but it still won't work.

I'd start with disabling Hardware Acceleration, as described in the video troubleshooting guide below:
Video playback issues
If that solves the problem, make sure that your graphics drivers are current.
If it *still* happens with current drivers, please give us detailed information on the graphics card and driver, so that we can disable hardware acceleration on this configuration and start a conversation with the appropriate vendor.
The best way to get this information is to do the following (on Windows):
Open a command prompt
Type: dxdiag
Hit Enter
This should launch the DirectX Diagnostic Tool
Click Save All Information (or whatever that save button says).
Paste the contents into a reply here, or you can click Use Advanced Editor in the upper right of the reply window, and then attach the file using the link at the bottom right of the reply window.

After upgrading to FF4, my back, forward, buttons no longer work

After I upgraded to FF4, my back, forward, and refresh buttons no longer work. I have tried restarting with Addons disabled, still an issue. Even the Alt-back arrow does not work. As well, the URLs no longer appear in the address box when I use Most Visited shortcuts.

duh, I thought that I had disabled all the addons, but I hadn't. The culprit turned out to be: Favicon Picker 2 0.6.1.14.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/favicon-picker-2/
After disabling this add-on, everything went back to normal.

Back/Forward button tweak not working

I've tried Rick Stone's Skinny on Skins suggestion for
tweaking the code to make the Back and Forward buttons to work for
navigation. To refresh, the Back and Forward buttons only work for
Previous and Next topics for browse sequences. Back and Forward for
topic navigation are not enabled for WebHelp. The tweaking is
supposed to make it work for Back and Foward. I have tried his
suggestion, and the code resests itself to the original (to support
browse sequences) upon compilation.
Any suggestions?

Ok, I spoke to soon. The new buttons show up in the Preview
of the edited skin, but when I re-generate, the buttons do not show
up at all once I view the result, however, when I preview them
again in the edited skin dialog box, they are there. Any
suggestions?
I tried to use a different skin and that didn't work. In
addition, I imported some new skins from Adobe's site, and they
aren't showing up in my skin folder in RoboHelp (in my project
folder, labeled !SkinSubFolder!), but are showing up in Windows
Explorer. So I can't choose any of the new skins I've imported. Why
is this happeneing?
This type of thing keeps happening in my project. This has
also happened with my baggage files. I add them, compile, they are
there, and then mysteriously disappear after a little while.
Sometimes I can get them back, most times not. Do you think these
two problems are interrelated?

I have been using a Time Capsule as my modem and back up for the last 6 months, suddenly it has started flashing amber light. I have tried resetting, soft and hard, but no success. On reset, the message is that it does not have access to internet.

I have tried resetting, following instructions on Apple support.
2 amber lights are showing, saying no internet, and no dns servers.
On the same network I have direct link to TV, working fine.
The TC does not seem to be able to pick up IP address even though directly connected with Ethernet cable.
I'd appreciate any help possible.

So what kind of modem is it.. is it cable.. if so you need to power it down and leave it off for 30min or so .. maybe shorter or longer depending on the ISP.
Do a full factory reset on the TC.
The Factory Reset TC Gen1-4. Or AE Gen1-5
Unplug your TC/AE. Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
Plug into the TC by ethernet from computer and setup as router .. ie dhcp and nat.. if it fails please give info on the firmware of the TC and the actual modem model number.
