My Gmail Inbox flashes up on the screen for about half a second and then disappears, leaving a blank screen with 'Done' at bottom left.

I can log in to Gmail as usual, but when it loads I get a very brief sight of my Inbox which then disappears. Sometimes it will load properly if I hit the Back button, but not always. I can load Gmail fine with IE. I have tried deleting cookies and cache, and run a full virus scan, with no luck. I have had this problem now for several days.

Hi, sounds like at least seriousHardware problems, most likelyVideo care/Logic board problems.
Have you blown thedust out lately?

One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.

I have trouble with my computer accepting an audio CD for I Tunes to download. It remains in the computer for about 10- 15 seconds and then spits it out again. Why???

I have trouble with my computer accepting an audio CD that I want to download to ITunes. It will remain in the computer for 10 - 15 seconds before ejecting it and not allowing me to download. My ITunes is open. Why does this happen or what am I doing wrong? I have done this dozens of times before. What makes this different and does it have anything to do with recent upgrades?

I'm not sure? I'm new to lightroom and it's lightroom 5 that I'm using. What is happening is I go to develop the picture in the developing section in lightroom and it gives me this message that says " Develop module is disabled Please purchase a license to reactivate the develop module." I shouldnt have to do anything else after already buying the cd and downloading it initially. It's already paid for? I'm so confused!!
why is the adobe lightroom 5 asking me to keep downloading the CD I bought at Best Buy store. I have already bought the CD and downloaded it on my computer but for some reason it gives me 10 days a then I have to download it again!!! Why is this its so an

The sound on my computer hiccups every minute - it's like a blip or a bump for about half a second and then it comes back on.

Any ideas on what it might be or how I can fix it? It happens across the board on all my applications - iTunes, Spotify, Chrome, etc.

There isn't much besides a failing hard drive or other hardware fault that can cause those symptoms. Run the Apple Hardware Test, or just take it to an Apple Store for testing.

I click on a yahoo new article, it displays for a few seconds and then I get a blank screen.

It happens only in Firefox,not explorer. When I click on a yahoo news article, it displays for a few seconds and then goes to a blank screen. I've run virus scans, eliminated all cookies, all to no avail.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Firefox freezes the computer for about 20-30 seconds (not even Alt+Tab works), the screen blinks black and then it shows the desired page. Does that several times at the beginning, then sort of stabilizes.

Firefox freezes the computer for about 20-30 seconds (not even Alt+Tab works), the screen blinks black and then it shows the desired page. Does that several times at the beginning, then sort of stabilizes.
This happens even if I simply hover the mouse over bookmarks, not even opening a page.
And waiting for this to happen some times or closing and re-opening seems to make it work ok again.
I've already disabled almost all add-ons (I'm using only one for Flash and NoScript right now), reinstalled Firefox (8.0.1), restoring only the bookmarks from an older version.

'''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Don't select anything right now, just use "'Start in Safe Mode"''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.
Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''

When I try to open the "markets" page on the Firefox hompage, it displays for 3 or 4 seconds and then drops off; I get a white screen; this does not happen with Explorer.

When I open "markets" from the homepage, it comes up but drops off after a few seconds and
I get a white page. This does not happen with Explorer. A similar but much more extensive
problem happened a month or so ago (I couldn't open attachments). I called Microsoft and the
fellow messed about with my computer for an hour or so, but ended up saying he couldn't help
me. However, when he went away, the problems went away.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== two weeks ago?

If you have RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin '''extension''', disable/remove the RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension in the RealPlayer Preferences (RP: Tools > Preferences > Download & Recording) . Restart Firefox and test.
See Noah_SUMO's illustrated answer in this thread if the above is not clear: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/forum/1/557689?
The RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin '''extension''' adds some extra features like saving media files.
Be sure not to get confused with the RealPlayer '''plugin''' (Tools > Add-ons > Plugins) that plays media files.

'''Update Java''': your ver. 1.6.0.17; current ver. 1.6.0.20 (important security update 04-15-2010)

SAVE the installer to your hard drive (Desktop is a good place so you can find it). When the download is complete, exit Firefox (File > Exit), locate and double-click in the installer you just downloaded, let the install complete.
IMPORTANT: I have found it wise to always restart your system after doing anything with Adobe products.

I have an iPad 3 model A1416 16GB. It is about 1 1/2 years old. When I opened it today the screen for my password came up and then before I could enter it the screen went blank. I can not get it to do anything now. It had about 24% of charge left. I plugged it into the charger and still nothing. What do I do? How do I get it to work?

Try the following:
1. Reset
Hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple logo

Hi, I can not get my iphone 4 voice over function to work. I turn it on and then it turns off automatical. I ok the message the message stays on the screen for 30 secs or so and then turns it off????

I am unable to turn on the voice over function on Iphone 4. The meesage appears informing me of what the functions does, I press ok and the the message stays on the screen for 30 secs or so and then it automatically turns the voice over function "off" - why???? what am I doing wrong?

I just had this same issue. It occured after I joined my school's Wi-Fi. Suddenly, my home ATV2 and iPhone4 weren't on speaking terms. All five other iphones, ipads, and macs were operating as they should. My phone was not. I tried everything: unplugging and restarting ATV2, deauthorizing all my devices and reauthorizing them, deleting and reinstalling remote app, and countless home sharing on and offs on all devices. Finally, I turned the Wi-Fi off and then on in the setting of my iphone. Boom. Situation remedied. I hope this helps.

I recently downloaded an album and two of the songs on it play until about half way through and then cut out! What is happening and how do i get them back?

I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entries, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.
(Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

When I try to turn on my homesharing on apple TV it says that either my apple id doesn't exist or the password is wrong. However, I've been using the id for almost half a year and I even changed my password and it still wouldn't work. How do I fix this?

Not sure if this Term is Relevant towards an iPhone but, my iPhone won't Post unless if it's plugged into a Charger.

HT203175 Reloaded Itunes on an XP machine. Reloaded because Itunes would not open. Now when I play a movie that is in my library, The movie plays for aprx. 60 seconds and then reverts back to my Itunes library. Any ideas on a cure?

Reloaded Itunes on an XP machine. Reloaded because Itunes would not open. Now when I play a movie that is in my library, the movie plays for aprx. 60 seconds and then reverts back to my Itunes library. Does it with all movies in the library, Most where downloaded from Itunes. Any ideas on a cure?

This "original file cannot be found" thing happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

I've had my new iPhone 6 Plus for about a month now and I'm just now syncing it with my computer to put music on it and it has been on Step 5 of 5 for hours now. I have reinstalled iTunes to see if that was the problem with no luck.

All it says is "waiting for changes to be applied".

HT1277 I can recieve emails but I can't send them out. The blue bar at the bottom left of the Mail page gets half way across and then the pop-up "Cannot send message using the server" comes up? What do I do?

I have my Yahoo Mail "poped" over to Apple Mail. I can recieve emails but I can't send them out. The blue bar at the bottom left of the Mail page gets half way across and then the pop-up "Cannot send message using the server" comes up? What do I do?

Your outgoing mail server is different than your incoming server. Usually the outgoing mail server will have smtp in it. I noticed yours said "cannot send message using the server mail.wavecable.com". That sounds like an incoming mail server. Try setting your outgoing mail server to smtp.wavecable.com
I hope that helps.

Ok I think it's a problem with my router. I went to my cousin's house and the Wi-Fi worked there perfectly. I was even able to download many apps. So I guess my router probably can't take in more connections. Oh well thanks anyway.

My iPad does not restart, I have kept the button for more than 10 seconds and will not turn off. Please if anyone has any idea that I do, let me know. thanks
