  • Adobe story online isn't loading. I just get the loading bar going on for hours. I've restarted my browser, deleted my cookies, installed the newer version of Flash and still no loading.

    Nope still nothing going incognito, or doing it through different browsers. I guess the other thing is a an online picture editing program told me I needed to update my flash, so I tried to install it several time but am not sure if it actually did. Now some video players (that had previously worked) command me that I need a newer version of Flash. What happened?

    Try a reset.  Hold the on/off and home buttons together for about 10 seconds till the Apple logo appears.

  • When I click on a link in Thunderbird, Firefox 4 starts, but just shows the home page, not the page I clicked for

    When I click on a link in an email in Thunderbird, Firefox 4 starts, but only shows the home page(s) not the page of the link

    I think i've found how to fix this issue when it appears. Don't know what caused it to happen, but that's up to the devs.
    In Thunderbird, you need to re-register http and https to make them open with Firefox (or open well with firefox in this case).
    How to to this?
    Well... open the about:config in thunderbird. You can achieve this by clicking configuration-editor in the advanced tab.
    search for the strings: network.protocol-handler.warn-external.https and network.protocol-handler.warn-external.http. Set both to "true".
    The next time you click on a link from within Thunderbird, it will ask you to set wich program you'd like to open it with.
    Be Aware now!!! Firefox may already be listed in there, but don't pick that one. instead... choose to browse for the app and point to the binairy/exe of firefox.
    (for example: /usr/bin/firefox or c:/program files/mozilla/firefox.)
    You will notice that firefox now does open up with the page you just clicked on.
    If it doesn't right away... just restart thunderbird and check again.
    Please respond if this works for you too on all platforms. It's more interesting to know it does than if it's not.

  • Went to turn my ipod 4g off and it just shows the loading button.

    Went to turn off my ipod and it just keeps showing the loading button. plugged it into the computer and it gives me an error. I can't turn it off or on or even charge it. What dod I do?

    Any error numbers or messages given with the error?
    Try to reset your ipod by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again.
    If this does not help, connect in recovery mode to restore: iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to restore

  • How can I configure my Macbook Air to always show the menu bar when in full-screen?  I hate, hate, hate it popping up and then going away all the time.

    I cannot find a way to change this in System Preferences.  When I have applications open full screen, my menu bar disappears.  Then when I try to move between tabs, I find it is always popping up & then disappearing.  I really just want to set up my computer so that the menu bar always displays in the foreground. I find this popping up & disappearing intrusive and annoying.  How can I fix this?  I hate, hate, hate this about my MAC...
    I have searched the full User Guide, Quick Start Guide, etc.  and cannot find a way to fix this.

    Don't use the full screen arrow in the top right corner of the window.  Instead, use the green + in the top left corner.  That takes the window full screen just below the menu bar.

  • Automatically connects to sync and will start playing music all the time even when not using sync

    My iPhone 4S will automatically start playing music as soon as I start my vehicle with sync.you can't hear it but on the screen it shows its playing even when listening to the radio

    Try resetting it if you can: hold the on/off and home buttons until you see the Apple logo (ignore the off slider that appears first), then release.  If you can't, try to connect it to iTunes, go to the Summary tab of your sync settings and click Restore to restore it.  If that doesn't work you'll have to force it into recovery mode to restore it as outlined here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.
    You can check in iTune to see if you have a backup.  They are listed in iTunes>Preferences>Devices.  However, the backup may not bring your contacts back as contacts are only backed up as necessary to preserve the recent call and call favorites lists.

  • I cannot load the Zynga game Pioneer trail, the game shows the loading bar as full but will not progress past the load page, The game works in other browsers.

    Only goes as far as the load page, and loading bar shows 100%

    You can check for problems caused by recent Flash updates and try these:
    *disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
    *disable protected mode in Flash 11.3 and later
    *disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin
    *downgrade the Flash player to version 10.3 or 11.2
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash#Troubleshooting
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode

    Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

  • Youtube Post comment & Load more videos buttons will not work, just shows vista loading ring and does nothing

    I have been having this problem since last November.
    When attempting to post a comment on a video in youtube when I click on the post button the button turns grey and then I simply see the Vista loading ring. I can wait hours or even leave my computer over night however it never successfully posts the comment.
    I am logged in to my youtube account and was able to post comments prior to November.
    I am currently using Firefox 20.0.1, I have attempted disabling all of my add on's with no effect.
    I have an additional issue which I believe is related due to the similarities.
    When browsing youtube videos from any channel the "Load more videos" button does the same thing.
    for example the following page http://www.youtube.com/user/BdoubleO100/videos?view=0
    if I scroll to the bottom and hit load more nothing will happen, as such I cannot browse to older videos.

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Creating a profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
    If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

    Try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.

  • System preferences cannot open because it may be damaged or incomplete??.. and now iphoto wont open... it just shows the loading circle.

    I have not deleted anything... I've used the applications install dvd... I've tried following along with previous conversations BUT nothing seems to be working.. can someone please help me?
    Oh! And since this has been not working... my iphoto won't load aswell.. does anyone know how to fix that issue?

    Diane,
    Your photos are in the iPhoto Library. Almost certainly that is intact, so don't worry.
    Go to your Home folder and open the folder called Pictures. What you want is in there, iPhoto Library. Don't do anything there, this is just to reassure yourself.
    So it is a matter of getting the iPhoto app to work. Apps are in the Applications folder. Find it and trash it.
    Next download iPhoto:
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/iphoto/id408981381?mt=12

  • My iphoto just shows a loading symbol when i open it and doesnt do anything...?

    help please.

    They are not showing because you're posting the location of them on your hard drive.
    You need to put them on the Internet for other people to see them. Note the Camera Button on the reply box? Click on that to upload a photo to the forum.
    As to the core issue:
    Assuming you are using iPhoto 09 or later:
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .
    Regards
    TD

    Because the iPod is sick.
    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Why would apple not automatically show the side bar in iTunes.  Wasted 20 min trying to find out why my ipod was not showing up.  Really really bad idea, Apple.

    Why does the side bar not automatically show up when you first download apple iTunes?  Really really bad design.  It took 20 min to fine the setting that enable the side bar.  ***?  I could not access my iPod for 20 freakin min!  Just show the **** side bar always!  Maybe apple is too big and is starting to lose common sense. 

    Because Apple update iTunes to do it that way. Apple has not said why.
