My first generation iPad suddenly stopped opening Safari. I cleared history, cookies, and cache, and Safari still won't open. Any suggestions?

When I attempt to open a Safari window on my first-generation iPad, it opens to a blank screen. I can see the web address bar and the search box, but the rest of the page is white. I cleared cookies, history, and cache, but still nothing happens. The iPad is 3G, and I have tried to open Safari using both 3G and my home WiFi. My wife has an iPad 3 WiFi, and hers opens without issue. Any suggestions on what I might do? Thanks!

1. Double-click the Home button to close all Inactive Apps in Task Bar
2. Hold the Apps in Task Bar down for a second or two until you see the minus sign
3. Tap the minus sign to close Apps
4. Tap center of screen to return to Home Screen
5. Reset iPad. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 second until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider

Assuming you have these accounts set up in Mail, open preferences and under Accounts tab, edit the SMTP outgoing server list. Do you have a .mac address in the list? If so, delete it.
Are you using iCloud?
For the troubled account, select the correct SMTP server for that account in the box and check the box to use only that server with that account.

I cannot access the internet, I tried to answer that said to go to settings, safari, tap clear history, cookies and cache, cut off, then on, but it did not work. When I go to internet the screen is grey??? please help I am a new user!!

I cannot access the internet the screen is grey, I have tried by using the answer from someone but it does not work...I went to settings, tap safari, then clear the history, cookies, and cache, then turn off ipad. When I did that twice, it did not work. How long does it take for the clear history to work? I am a brand new
user of the ipad2 and I am disappointed that this is happening already.

Have you been able to access the internet previously and now it's suddenly not working, or are you still trying to access the internet for the first time on your iPad? Are you at home trying to connect through your home router? If you are at home, did you put your home routers encryption code as your password? The encryption code is what your iPad is looking for and it is usually found on the router and is typically a 13 digit combination of letters and numbers. Let us know......

I cannot open images from my new NikonD3300 in Elements 11 , I have downloaded and installed CameraRaw 8.4 and DNG convertor but still won't open!

I wonder if anyone can help with the above question about Elements 11 and my not being able to open Raw images, I have tried downloading and installing Cmaera raw 8.4 and DNG convertor but still not opening have not had truoble with D200 or lumix G5. thanks Yvonne

The D3300 requires Camera Raw 8.4 but Camera Raw 8.4 is only compatible with Elements 12 and later.
Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
Camera Raw 8.4 is not compatible with Elements 11 and never will be.
You'll have to either a) upgrade to Elements 12, or b) use the DNG converter to convert all D3300 Raw files to DNGs then edit the DNGs in Elements 11.
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
The D200 requires Camera Raw 3.3 (or later) and the Lumix G5 requires Camera Raw 7.2 (or later) both of which are compatible with Elements 11.

I erased all my cookie history for everything and my hotmail account still won't open. Help?

I used this support page to erase my history thinking that it would help. http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Websites%20say%20cookies%20are%20blocked
But all it did was allow me to go to the sign in page and then it didn't load my inbox again. all that came up was a white page with a little box in the top left hand corner and a browse button. This was how it came up even before i cleared all the history. I've reinstalled firefox...i don't want to have chuck it out and loose all my book marks. Any suggestions?

There's an HTML5 compatibility issue with Windows Live / Hotmail that affects the Firefox 4.0 betas. A Hotmail rep has said that will be fixed before the Firefox 4.0 Release Candidate comes out.
Try hitting the '''Esc''' key to stop that "cycling".

My ipod touch (4th) suddenly wont connect to my wifi. Other gadgets are connected though. I tried resetting the network and turning the wifi (and ipod) on and off but it still wont work. Any suggestions on what to do?

My ipod touch (4th) suddenly wont connect to my wifi. It connected fine before and all of my other electronics (tablets, computers, laptops, gaming systems, etc.) are connected and working completely fine. I tried turning the wifi setting on my ipod on/off as well as the actual ipod itself. I also tried resetting the network settings but neither of these options worked. Any suggestions on what I should do?

Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

After updating to Firefox 15 on my Vista machine Firefox will not open. I have removed and reinstalled it but still won't open. How do I fix this?

I am running Windows Vista Home Premium and after doing the update for Firefox 15, firefox won't start. I get no error messages or anything it just won't start. I removed Firefox and reinstalled but that didn't help.
What is next to try?

Hi lwhealon
try from Start > Run > and type to check 1 of :
firefox -safe-mode
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -safe-mode '''or'''
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -safe-mode
(to enable the Run box in win 7 see: [http://blogs.msdn.com/b/tims/archive/2006/09/18/windows-vista-secret-3-bringing-back-start-run.aspx enable Run box win 7] )
also check if [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firewalls Firewall] or/and other security software blocking firefox start (like ad-blocker, web-accelerator etc).
[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Kill_application With Firefox completely closed] (probably because you can not start it), open the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installation_directory application folder] (by default, C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox on Windows) rename firefox.exe to firefox1.exe, then double-click firefox1.exe. If Firefox runs without problems, it could indicate that your firewall is blocking Firefox.
good luck

Hi my name is Jeanette cantwell , I'm having problem with my iPhone 4 my Facebook app wont work for me I re installed it many times and delete. But still won't open Can u help me pls

Hi I'm Jeanette , I'm having with my Facebook app, I deleted it many times and reinstalled many times but still my Facebook app won't work for me, everytime I press fb app it will just go back to fb icon or window on my phone, I have iPhone 4 , hope u can help me

Holding down the center/select button and the menu button will reboot your ipod. See if that helps. Also, I'd recommend something else- I had nothing but trouble with my ipod classic until I spent $20 to get Mac OS Mountain Lion. It did what you said and sometimes wouldnt play, or wouldnt power on...
Try rebooting your ipod and let me know what happens and maybe in the future obtain Mountain Lion to aide your ipod in functionality.
Good luck!

I have a first-generation ipad. We just purchased a laptop and I had to change my password as I couldn't recall it

I have a first-generation ipad. We recently purchased a new laptop (not an Apple) and I had to change my e-mail pasword as I couldn't recall what it was; it auto-populated on the old computer. I changed the password on my ipad and the new laptop (no issues), then a few days later, I couldn't send out any e-mails on my ipad, but could on the laptop. I have been around and around with the e-mail provided, and they cannot help me.
Anyone out there with the same problem?
Thanks.

If you had a yahoo or gmail account, we might be able to help you, but Earthlink is the source you need guidance from. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

Right. If you are using delegated privs and sudo, make sure that sudo is configured to pass on the PERL5LIB and ORACLE_HOME environment variables at least.

hi

Since about 2 weeks ago for no apparent reason, the internet on my iPad suddenly stopped working (when I open Safari, it says: "Safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the Internet"), even though the Wifi icon in the top left corner still shows full signal. However, I noticed when I went into Wifi settings (Settings>Wifi) that there is no checkmark next to my network name (only the spinning circle icon, as if it's trying to process something). This only happens at home (I can browse the internet while connected to Wifi at university). My other Apple devices (MacBook Pro and iPhone 4S) work perfectly fine at home.
I've tried resetting my router, restarting my iPad, resetting Network Settings on my iPad, and tried following Hynes' instructions on this thread:https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2453187?start=15&tstart=0, but nothing has worked so far (although I have to admit that I found the instructions on that thread somewhat confusing, so there is a chance that I accidentally did not follow them properly).
Could someone please help? It'd be VERY much appreciated.

We have a first generation iPad. All of a sudden it will not go to "GROUPS" in Facebook. It gives the message "Page not found" We can go to the "GROUPS" page on any other device that we have. Why will the iPad not go to "GROUPS"

We have a first generation iPad. All for a sudden, in will not go to the "GROUPS" page on Facebook. It gives the message "Page can not be found" It will bring up the members of the group. We can pull up "GROUPS" on all the other devices we have, but not the iPad. What has happened? We have not changed any settings. Yesterday afternoon, it worked last night it would not. It still will not work. What as happened!?!?!?!?!?

if you mean facebook in safari and not the facebook app
then the mobile facebook page have allways been odd and defect
which is why they made and is pushing the app

First generation iPad keeps shutting down safari and other problems.

I have a first generation iPad. It is currently running on iOS 5.1.1. Now I just updated the software on my iPhone to is 6.1.2. Does the iPad not follow the same update schedule? It doesn't say it needs to be updated.
Anyway, on to my original problem. My safari will randomly close down. I'm not sure if it's considered crashing because no dialog box appears. It usually happens on particular sites like Facebook or news sites. If I go back it happens again. But I can go to a different site and it will work without closing down. I am also having trouble typing emails or message board responses. I will be in the middle of typing and it will stop responding. I have to close the keypad and then fetal the screen so I can resume typing. This can happen several times. I'm not sure what the problem is. I went through and cleared out a bunch of old apps hiking maybe my memory was getting to full. That didn't help. I reset my iPad and used my back p to get my apps back. Didn't help. Finally I reset my iPad to factory settings. I didn't even restore my backup. It's still happening.
Any ideas?

You should try restoring the iOS software now if resetting the iPad did not help. This explains how to do it. I hope that you have a backup, because restoring the software erases the device, but you have the opportunity to restore from the back after the software is installed again.
iTunes: Restoring iOS software - Support - Apple
Pay close attention to the very end of this article - the section titled Additional Information. That will take to a link that instructs you how to use Recovery Mode to restore if the first method does not work for you.
