My browsers freeze in 10.2.8 but not classic?

I have a G4 450MHz dual running 10.2.8. I'm on a wireless broadband connection. I installed a new Xerox 7400 printer 2.5 weeks ago by ethernet and have had browser freees ever since. (Safari and Explorer) About the same time I downloaded Windows media player which I have since trashed. I installed Unsanity's windowshade on 10/04/05 which worked fine but have since gotten rid of it. My e-mail works and I can get to google but no further. I can use Explorer on Classic fine. Xerox swears the printer CAN'T be the problem. When I turn the printer ON my e-mail quits - if it is off my e-mail works. ISP says basic router is working I tried bypassing the wireless lynksis and it didn't change. My laptop won't connect from across the room either. Could it be my ethernet hub? My other printer hooked up to the hub is working fine. or would upgrading my OS fix things?
I have plugged and unplugged things dozens of times.
I have a business and am really stuck

First, welcome to the discussions,
If I may suggest, a couple of things.
I would recommend getting completely away from IE for Mac even though it is still usable. Microsoft has for over a year said it would no longer support it for Mac, Now they have announced beginning as of January they will no longer support or even the downloadable version for Mac period.
I would also try disabling OS9 or Classic and then try Safari,
The Installation of your Printer shouldn't have been an issue with the operation of your browsers.

If I may I would look at the older browsers offered by Mozilla, and Opera for OS9.
Next your printer,
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107060
This link may help. but bear in mind that the move to 10.3 fixed several issues, including some printer inconsistencies.
Many users opt not to do the Operating System Upgrades and thus, some suffer from the issues as you have described above,
Often these are hard to sort out especially using newer printers with older operating systems when it comes to getting drivers to work.
Xewrox
Be sure that you have downloaded the latest drivers for your printer and operating system, sometimes they update the drivers for the older operating systems, sometimes not, you may have to trial and error..
Hope some of this has helped. Don

IMac G5 freezes and mouse will move but not able to click on anything.

iMac G5 frequently freezes where I am not able to click on anything. The mouse arrow will move around but I get no response when trying to click on anything.
Also, at times the mouse arrow will dissapear when I'm moving it around. Are these two problems connected?
I've already tried moving the mouse usb from the keyboard to the back of monitor. That doesn't help.
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

These are the iMac (early 2006) forum. For better informed responses to your question try posting in the appropriate IMAC G5 Forum here: http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=881
Although from what you say (freezing up randomly, inability to click mouse), it sounds like a bad memory stick. Did you, by any chance, put additional RAM on your machine? Check the memory in system profiler to make sure they are all ok.
As for the mouse pointer moving around uncontrollably, try a solid colored mousepad, as some mousepads with stripes and intricately colored designs tend to "throw off' or confuse the optical lens of your mouse.

9630 freezes periodically while typing, but not when radio turned off

In December I got my third replacement 9630 in less than a year. From the first day this one has had a single maddening flaw. If the transmitter is on, after every 25 seconds of typing it freezes for about 10 seconds. I can then type again for another 25 seconds, and then it freezes again. The only way I can use the unit without this happening is to turn off the radio, type my email or text, and then turn on the radio again to transmit. I originally thought the problem might be due to a memory shortage, but then why would the radio setting matter? Any suggestions?

That does help, thanks!
Have you ever upgraded your device or did it come with that OS?
Regardless, one thing that may help in this case is to reload the software from scratch using the steps located here:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Device-Software/How-To-Reload-Your-Operating-Syste...
Given that stuff that you tried previously doesn't seem to have helped, this should. If it doesn't, that would suggest to me that there is something more at play here (e.g. a potential hardware issue?). But try that, and then let us know how it works out.

just as I said, I'm afraid it might be a virus.

Internet freezes with Safari, Firefox & Chrome, but not when using MS IE

When using my macbook wirelessly and am in the Mac OS, my internet freezes after 5 minutes, doesn't matter if I am using Safari, Firefox or Chrome. If I shut down and boot up Windows XP and use IE, it does not freeze up. I use my iMac with the same router wirelessly and never have any issues with Sarari... Can anyone suggest what I should try? I have removed and reloaded Safari, Firefox and just tried Chrome, with the issue still happening...
Thanks,

The web sites visited are pretty much the same on either the iMac or MacBook. These are well known sites for the most part. I always keep updates current with any of the software I use including Adobe...

Prints in OS X and when booted to OS 9.2, but not Classic environment

This is for an iMac G3 400MHz with 256MB running a fresh full installation of Jaguar 10.2 and OS 9.2. The printer is an HP LaserJet 2100M with a Netgear FM114P print server.
I first installed the printer under OS X, and that works fine. Then I booted to OS 9.2, installed under that, and it prints fine when I boot to OS 9.2. But it does not print from the Classic environment started in OS X. No error messages are generated. Mac OS seems to think everything is fine. On that point, it may be worth noting that the print server only offers one-way communication (but that works fine when I've booted to OS 9.2).
Anyone recognize this problem?
Further notes: The Netgear is a firewalled wireless/Ethernet router with print server that is now set up in access point mode rather than router mode. It is an access point for a 2Wire gateway. The LaserJet is the only thing connected to the Netgear.

I thought about trying to install the printer a third time, from the Classic environment, but did not figure out how. (Classic environment only shows the Desktop during startup.) I think it would require starting a Classic app, opening the Apple menu from there, and doing something .....
At any rate, I found a solution: print in the foreground (no spooling). From the Print window within an application (File | Print), choose Preferences | Background Printing | Print In: Foreground (no spooling). Then click Save Settings to make this choice the default.
This tip appeared in Apple article 106687, "Mac OS X: How to select an LPR printer in Classic" for the case when "the job doesn't print as expected."
If you try to print with Command-P rather than using the Print menu, printing still spools and thereby fails. I don't know why this is since foreground printing is now the default and does not needed to be selected afresh from the print menu. It seems that Command-P runs the job with certain defaults rather than the the user's saved settings.

Air play gives audio from itunes (sometimes) but not browser

Apple TV used to work fine from all devices on all apps/browsers. Now I get video but not audio from my Firefox browser via Air Play & if the settings are just right then I can get audio from iTunes ONLY. HELP!

UPDATE:
Well, the nice folks at AJA were kind enough to send another card out.
It just arrived today. I swapped it out with the older card, and then - - - - - the problems still persist.
The computer revved up into turbo mode, and there are still a few glitchy things happening with some basic functions in OSX. (I even did a re-install before putting the new card in).
Checked / updated the firmware / etc.
Starting to think this is a MAC issue, but dont' know how to proceed.
Thanks so much for the help already, but I'd sure love to see this problem resolved once and for all somehow...
Ideas?

Could you share a link to the page?
Seeing it in context and in our browsers is much easier to debug.
If not, make sure to run the validator here The W3C Markup Validation Service and clear out any problems. HTML errors, especially structural ones, will cause all kinds of display problems in various browsers/versions/platforms.

X305-q725 freezing up, but not in safe mode

Yo hi you guys doing!
I have showed up on this website a couple times now regarding my qosmio x305 Q725 for support, And I always appreciate the help from some people in this forum . So here I am AGAIN XD !!
Today (Actually yesterday) the problem I am having with my gaming laptop seems to be just as unique as the other ones (the usual).
To sum it up, I was watching HD videos with VLC on my laptop, when the PC froze on me with a glitching and looping sound (like a CD player attempting to read a scratched cd). ctrl + alt + del wouldn't do a thing, mouse was frozen as well... Only the power off button held for a couple seconds seemed to do something useful (somewhat anyways).
Though my laptop originally came with a 64 GB SSD with vista (32 and 64 bit) and another 320 GB D drive, I replaced both of them about 7 months ago. The new items are now: a 128 GB SSD drive with Win7 64Bit, a 500GB 7200rpm d drive.
In order to make a quick check wether or not it was the windows at fault here, I changed the C drive quickly from the 128 SSD with Win 7 back to the original 64 SSD with vista 64bit on it. Normal start up with either drives will result in another freezing and lock up laptop a couple seconds after starting it up normally, so there really is nothing to be done on that front. But when I start it in safe mode, I was able to keep it running for a good 5minutes and actually shut it off normally!
From device manager, there was no exclamation points or irregularities (Like when my graphics card stopped functioning). The laptop seems to make the normal mechanical noises (vents, cd player, hard drives being waken up) as usual.
There you have it! Think I did not miss any points. So I guess I am wondering if this is a: Hardware problem?! though device manager won't see it... Or a software problem?! Though even my old vista exhibits the same symptoms, problem is definitely repeatable with both windows, and therefore 2 very different set of drivers (those in win7 being newer then those in the Vista drive). Maybe even a BIOS issue here?
Thanks for reading my wall of text this far , and maybe for the future help! (Using my room mate's Mac, I won't be online all the time! But I will check up asap!).
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Problem's been solved for a week now, I thought I would post the solution to help other users who would use the search index.
It was a VIRUS (Actually a couple of them) which was affecting my OS most likely on the D drive (not the C drive). Though I didn't thought it could possibly be one since my Norton Antivirus 360 never picked up anything, also I changed physical C drive (Replaced the C drive from a 128GB SSD with Win7 to a 64GB SSD with vista on it which was working well the last time I used it). Completely changing C drives didn't solved the problem at all, I had no idea viruses could also be taking shelter in the D drive as well. The good people of Geek squad solved my problem quickly by analysing both hard drives with an antivirus from another computer so that the affected drives wouldn't be in use by windows directly (Hopefully I explained this right, but roughly, if your drives are in the computer, scanning for viruses may very well proove useless.... yeah !!!).
As far as they told me, if I had scanned them using another computer with an up to date antivirus in a way that the concerned drives are connected through USB, and are concidered by the computer as external devices, the antiviruses should be able to detect the threats, but not if you connected it through SATA or other "internal" device. So if you guys don't want to spend $200 at best buy I suggest you try this!
So there you go hopefully I will help other people with this explanation. I know I am not very clear in explaining it but I did my best, my knowledge is limited with computers!

My iPhone 5 keeps freezing when I connect to wifi, not just freeze the wifi, but freezes the whole phone and have to hold home and lock button. Locks up completely and instantly when I turn on wifi and connect. Solutions?

My iPhone 5 keeps freezing when I connect to wifi, not just freeze the wifi, but freezes the whole phone and have to hold home and lock button. Locks up completely and instantly when I turn on wifi and connect. Solutions?

1. If you are really on iOS 7.1, you may wish to try upgrading to 8.1.2 which is the latest (basing this on your signature).
2. If updating the phone doesn't help, is this only when you connect to a specific wifi network? Or all wifi networks (including public with no password)? If it is ALL wifi networks, you may have a hardware problem. Genius bar would be the next step.

I can not get Firefox to play music backgrounds on pages in browsers it works in IE and other browsers but not firefox, what HTML or Jave script do I need too use to make them work?

I'm having a problem with firefox playing background music on some sites, it works with IE and other browsers but not with fire fox, what html or java script do I need to add to the pages so that they play the music?
I develop my pages in Front Page and I know that the music only works in IE, so if someone can tell me how to correct this problem as it is important as I use fire fox as my main browser.
I thank you in advance

If a website uses BGSOUND then it will only work in IE.
BGSOUND is not compatible with other browsers like Firefox.

Have you tried to reset it? Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds and see if you can get it to reboot.
