My browser takes minutes to open then when the tab is fully loaded it will start saying "Connecting" and slow down or freeze.

When I open my browser, it takes 3-5 minutes to fully open. When I get to a website, randomly the tab will say 'Connecting' and slow down and take 10-15 minutes to function or freeze completely. This almost always happens on sites that require Flash Player use. I have uninstalled and reinstalled my Flash several times. I've added memory, as someone suggested it was a memory issue. It's so frustrating, please help!

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that 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 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.

I have started using Roboform Lite 2.0.0, after Roboform it takes to much time to open Firefox and when i open a new tab, until the tab is fully loaded, Firefox is not responding. Please help.

After installing Roboform 2.0.0;
Starting Firefox started to take too much time.
When i open a new tab, until the tab is fully loaded and Roboform realizes which website it is, Firefox does not respond.
When i tell Roboform to fill the username and password fields in a tab, until Roboform submits Firefox does not respond.
I mean, as if Roboform is not working background and Firefox cannot work multithread because of it. When i navigate from one tab to another, Roboform is also checking the tab and meanwhile Firefox is waiting for Roboform to finish its work.
Please help me about this problem.

ICloud mail is down again...mine allows mail to open, then when trying to address an email I get a beach ball and it stays until I quit mail. Anyone experiencing this and what is apple doing about this?

I like many have been experiencing mail problems since I migrated to iCloud. Was working fine for a bit, then I now either get crashes or a revolving beachball when I attempt to type an email address. Have tried quitting and rebooting...you name it. What is Apple saying or doing to fix the problem. Been like this all weekend.

iCloud mail is down again...mine allows mail to open, then when trying to address an email I get a beach ball and it stays until I quit mail.
That doesn't necessarily mean the mail is down in iCloud.
You can always check iCloud system status here.
If you are using Safari to access iCloud.com, go to the Safari menu bar click Safari / Empty Cache.
Now go the menu bar again and click Safari / Reset Safari.
Select the top 5 boxes then click Reset.
Quit then relaunch Safari, go to iCloud.com
Try Mail.

Dialog with a lot of XML content takes minutes to open in IE7.

Good day to all.
This is my first week with JDeveloper ADF, so, please, be forgiving. I have a page, which has this code
<af:commandButton text="Show XML" id="cl2"
action="dialog:showxml" useWindow="true"
windowHeight="200" windowWidth="500"
partialSubmit="true">
When clicked, this one is invoked:
<f:verbatim>
<jsp:include page="xml_original.xml"/>
</f:verbatim>
The xml file is 500KB. The dialog pops up very fast in Firefox, but in IE7 it takes minutes to open. When opening it in the page, without the dialog, the performance is fast.
Please help.
Thank you.
Edited by: user608849 on Sep 10, 2009 10:21 AM

Does it open fast when you load the xml file manually in IE (without using it from the ADF / dialog)?
something like http://<host>:<port>/..../xml_original.xml ?

Pdf take minutes to open inside of an extracted zip file

I received a zip file in an email. I extracted it and there were 3 pdfs inside. I cliked on one and the hour glass would just appear and at the top of the pdf it would say "not responding". It finally will open but it takes minutes. Same issue for the other 2.
What is preventing this from opening? I have checked Control Panel and deleted all other pdf applications. Ran Registry Cleaner and cleared Temporary internet and Windows Files from my Norton Security Suite
I do not have any problem opening individual pdfs that I receive or create from insurance company pdf creators inside of their software.
I am running Adobe Reader 10.1.1 on Windows Vista. I have a friend who also seems to have the same problem who is also running Windows Vista.
I have a new laptop running Windows 7 64 bit but there is no issue opening the pdf in that same zip file received.
Thank you.

Hi Michael.
I went back to the zip folder, right cliked on it and cliked on extract all. Then tried opening each one and it just hangs. It still hasn't opened and it is now at least 5 minutes.

I had saved one copy as an .asp but then resaved it to .xhtml
I'm assuming this is a static web site. Rename (F2) all your pages with .html or .htm extension.
.xhtml is not a valid extension.

If it works in a new window then you can drags tabs from the not working window to that new window.
You can also try to close the tabs via Ctrl+W and restore the closed tabs via Shift+Ctrl+T

In itune did you play any of the songs downloaded. If so plug your ipod back in an manualy check off to sync all music. If that doesn't work you might have to restore the ipod.

Pausing swfs and audio in a browser when the tab is out of focus

I'm trying to code my flash file so that the html will pause all swfs AND audio when the tab is out of foucs. I found this code on http://frontenddeveloper.net/wiki/index.php?title=JavaScript_and_VBScript_Injection_in_Act ionScript_3 and it works,but not completely. It only pauses the movie clips that are in the Flash file and not any that are exteranlly loaded with audio included.
How can I adjust it to pause the externally loaded swfs that are loaded to a mc within my main movie clip and the audio OR what should I use in place of this code? Someone mentioned on a different post that I needed to use a window.onblur funcition, but they didn't give details.
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.utils.setTimeout;
// This is a more "safe than sorry" setting, since multiple domains
// have entry into my site. Can be removed or hardcoded if you feel
// secure or insecure, as you see fit.
flash.system.Security.allowDomain("*");
// Throw any errors around to make sure somebody actually gets them.
ExternalInterface.marshallExceptions = true;
// This is not the most ideal way to toggle animations on and off, but
// it's thorough, generic, and simple. Iterate all movieclips within
// clip, shutting them down each in turn. A better, but much more tedious
// method would be to target specific clips using dotpath notation, telling
// each in turn to turn off or on depending on what we need.
// BUT this is just a demo, and what we're really interested in is the
// event-handling mechanism that actually calls this routine, and not the
// routine itself.
function toggleAllClips(doAnim, clip) {
if ( clip is MovieClip) {
if (doAnim) {
   clip.play();
} else {
   clip.stop();
for (var i = 0; i<clip.numChildren; i++) {
   toggleAllClips(doAnim, clip.getChildAt(i));
function animOn(e:*=null) {
toggleAllClips(true, this.mainMC);
function animOff(e:*=null) {
toggleAllClips(false, this.mainMC);
function injectPrep(e:*=null) {
try {
ExternalInterface.addCallback("jsanimOn", animOn);
ExternalInterface.addCallback("jsanimOff", animOff);
} catch (e) {
trace(e);
function injectListeners(e:*=null) {
try {
// Object/Embed ID of this movie needs to be inserted into the
// JavaScript before we actually wrap and send it to the browser:
var jsfix=js.toString().replace(/xxx/g, ExternalInterface.objectID);
ExternalInterface.call(jsfix);
} catch (e) {
trace(e);
// Using timeouts ensures the movie is actually done loading before
// these fire, helping compatibility for a few browser versions.
setTimeout(injectPrep,0);
setTimeout(injectListeners,100);
JAVASCRIPTS
JavaScript needs to be wrapped in a tag, a cdata, and a closure
function in order to be wrapped up and sent to the browser.
Note that an ActionScript function will replace all instances
of "xxx" with the actual ID used for this SWF.
We're battling some major bugs and crossbrowser idiosyncrasies
here:
1) In Internet Explorer the 'onblur' event is implemented
    incorrectly (as opposed to Firefox/Mozilla browsers). It is
    wrongly fired when focus is switched between HTML elements
    *inside* a window. As a result, we have to use onfocusout
    instead of onblur, and keep track of which element is active.
    If we focusout and the active element is not the previous
    active element, then we haven't actually "blurred" and dont
    want to trigger Flash.
2) Firefox has problems interpreting both getElementById and
    document["swf"] when dealing with "twicebaked" object/embeds.
    Adobe's method of finding the swf fails to address the fact
    that document["swf"] sometimes returns an array in this
    situation rather than an object ref, and getElementById
    sometimes confuses name and id.
3) When a window is created in Firefox, it doesn't actually have
    "focus" (event though it appears to) and therefore won't "blur"
    unless you actually click in it first, i.e if you open up a
    window, then immediately send it to the background, it never
    gets the command to halt the flash. So we have to explicitly
    focus the blasted thing to get it to work properly.
4) Because of irregularities caused by Ajax, the way browsers shut
    down, and other factors, there's a good chance our swf won't
    be there when a blur (or focusout) event occurs. Therefore we
    need an explicit check within the event handler itself.
5) Finally, we want to wrap everything inside a wrapper-closure
    function, to keep everything safe from being stepped on. Lucky
    us, we have to do this anyways to get everything to fit inside
    a single ExternalInterface.call event.
var js:XML = <script><![CDATA[
( function() {
var active_element; // tracker for ie fix;
var bIsMSIE = false;
// Modified version of Adobe's code resolves a bug in FF:
function getSWF(movieName) {
    if (navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft") != -1) {
      return window[movieName];
    } else {
      // Resolves a bug in FF where an array is sometimes returned instead of a
      // single object when using a nested Object/Embed.
      if(document[movieName].length != undefined){
        return document[movieName][1];
      return document[movieName];
// Need to check for swf each time we try this because the swf may actually be gone
// because of ajax or a window closure event. Prevents error dialog from popping up.
// Future release should check for this condition and then remove the calling event
// so it doesn't keep triggering.
function animOff(){
    if (bIsMSIE && (active_element != document.activeElement)) {
      active_element = document.activeElement;
    } else {
      var logoThang = getSWF("xxx");
      if(logoThang){logoThang.jsanimOff();}
function animOn(){
    if (bIsMSIE && (active_element != document.activeElement)) {
      active_element = document.activeElement;
    } else {
      var logoThang = getSWF("xxx");
      if(logoThang){logoThang.jsanimOn();}
// Add the listeners. Hear ye, here ye.
if (typeof window.addEventListener !== "undefined") {
    // Firefox, Mozilla, et al.
    window.addEventListener("blur", animOff, false);
    window.addEventListener("focus", animOn, false);
} else if (typeof window.attachEvent !== "undefined") {
    // Internet Explorer
    bIsMSIE = true;
    window.attachEvent("onfocus", animOn);
// Another bug: window.onblur ALWAYS fires in IE, so
// we have to keep track of what we're clicking using
// another method:
active_element = document.activeElement;
document.attachEvent("onfocusout", animOff);
// Necessary to trigger toggling in FF if the page hasn't actually been clicked in and the page
// is sent to the background. Can be commented out if necessary, e.g. if you don't want the page
// popping to the top or want focus to remain somewhere else like a form field.
window.focus();
]]></script>;

I added this code and it removes the externally loaded swfs. I don't want that, I want them to pause and then resume when the tab is back in foucs. Also, the main code restarts the main movie clip upon refocusing too.
Added code:
function toggleAllLoaders(doAnim, loader) {
if ( loader is Loader) {
if (doAnim) {
   loader.play();
} else {
   loader.stop();
for (var i = 0; i<loader.numChildren; i++) {
   toggleAllLoaders(doAnim, loader.getChildAt(i));
I added the new function to all of the places that had the "toggleAllClips" function.

How are you trying to play them, in the iTunes store or the Music and Videos apps ? Downloaded and synced music and videos should be in the Music and Videos apps, and you can stop content that is only in the cloud from showing in them via Settings > iTunes & App Store > Music and Videos 'off' (under the 'show all' heading).
If you don't have your music and films/TV shows in those two apps then you should be able to download them into those apps via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app.

Same happens when they call me.
Data over the phone - to Vodaphone - is fine. I can browse. With or without wifi.
My speaker and mic work fine.

I think the fault just developed out of the blue. I called somebody left the phone on the table downstairs the person tried to call me back 11 times and I never heard them. When I tried to call later in the day the phone had an error.
When try to phone my iPhone from the land line the ring tone is perfect but I get the same problem with my iphone just echoing my voice and nothing else - and the landline having loud static and nothing else.

Quit the messages app and reset your phone.
Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it jiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal. Then restart the app and see if it works normally. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart.
After the phone restarts go into Messages and delete the thread containing the problem message.

My browser takes minutes to open then when the tab is fully loaded it will start saying "Connecting" and slow down or freeze.
