MyYahoo is homepage. Can't read articles when I click on them! The say "fail". Why

I use Firefox, but my homepage is MyYahoo!. There are news abbreviated news articles on the homepage. Clicking will bring up the whole article. Recently, including today again, when I click on the lead to the article I get "fail" instead of the article. What's happening?

Hi brendalynn6,
Have you looked at the [[Opening PDF files within Firefox]] Knowledge Base article? There are a couple of different PDF plugins listed in the article. I'd suggest you give those a shot. You might also want to take a look at [[Using the Adobe Reader plugin with Firefox]].
Hopefully this helps!

  • I have thumbnails in my iPhoto library but when I click on them the screen is black

    I have thumbnails on my iPhoto library but when I click on them the screen is black.  I have had my computer in 2-3 times for this issue and the library is corrupt, or so I was told.  This doesn't make sense since the photos are obviously in my library some where.  Any thoughts what is going on?

    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button,                         
    and select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
    Note 2:  Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

    # Question
    I am informed by FF that there are updates. When I click on them the window just says it's trying to connect to the server and never does. I am never able to update and I believe FF is now up to 3.6.17.
    I have a Mac Powerbook with 10.4.11 and FF 3.6.13.

    That is because that Firefox 3.6.x version has been released later than the Firefox 4 version.
    If you have problems with updating then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
    * Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded

  • After I sync my iPad to my macbook air, I can't open my apps on my computer. The apps are there in itunes but when I click on them nothing happens. Why??

    After I sync my ipad with my macbook air, the apps show up in my itunes on my computer,  but when I click on them nothing happens.

    Kristyn,
    Those Apps listed in the iTunes Apps library will only work with iOS devices. They are not designed to work on your Macbook Air system.

  • Some pictures in I-Photo seem to be corrupted. When I click on them, the photo comes up for a second, then the picture turns black with a white fuzzy circle inside it and what looks like an explanation mark. Some older, some newer,  no common thread.

    Some pictures in I-Photo seem to be corrupted. When I click on them, they come up for a second, then turn black with a white circle in the middle and what looks like an explanation mark. There does not seem to be any rhyme or reason to the photos that are a problem, some older ones, some newer, some albums have none, some albums have a lot.
    Thanks,
    Mark

    time to time (when I have a chance), I will go to Finder, bring up ALL Images and start going through them to label them (before I put a label on them, they are simply listed as 123 jpg, 124 jpg etc.).
    You're damaging the Library doing that, and that's the cause of your problem.
    Never, ever, ever use the  All Images search and work on items in yoyr iPhoto Library. They must only be accessed via the iPhoto window.
    Restroe from abck up or try rebuild the Library:
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places 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.
    Next: You need to learn how to use iPhoto. There's no need to be dragging things to the desktop:

  • The links toolbar is not working. I can drag addresses to it, but when I click on them, the sites don't open. How can I fix this?

    There is a toolbar feature in the lower right corner of the taskbar. I tried to set up the Links toolbar. I can drag addresses to this, but when I click them, nothing happens. What should happen is the site/page whose address I clicked should open.
    How can I fix this? Is it a problem with the Firefox I'm currently using?

    I checked out the links you provided. One is dead, one is for Windows 7, which doesn't apply to my problem because I'm using Windows 8, and I've been checking out the third.
    I'm a novice and may not have the right vocabulary to explain myself. The Links toolbar is accessed from the bottom right side of the taskbar at the bottom of the screen. Apparently Firefox is necessary to use this, as everyone I've talked to swears it's not visible for IE.
    What I'm referring to is Right-click "show hidden icons." Scroll up to Toolbars. Scroll over to Links. Check it to enable it. Then what should happen is I should be able to drag the address/url from the top of the page to this menu and click on it when I want to go back to that particular page. That is what is not working. Nothing happens when I click the addresses in the Links menu.

  • Droid Maxx- Outgoing email messages stuck in outbox. When you click on them, it says- message is being sent and cannot be opened- how can I clear them out?

    This is my work email. I still receive emails. I just can't send any outgoing. They are stuck in the outbox. When I check my email on my computer at work, nothing in the outbox, and they don't show as being sent. Log jam. How can I remove them? Already did a restart, etc.

    I have had the same problem - stuck for 2 days, but I still can send & receive emails. I tried your suggestion - it worked! Thanks! 

  • Why can't I play games on facebook anymore? When I click on them the screen stays white. I updated my flashplayer still nothing

    For Grand Theft Auto, the only version I found that "Officially" still run native on the Mac and are in the Mac App Store are Grand Theft Auto II I released in 2010-2011 and Grand Theft Auto Vice City released in 2012.
    The more recent versions of GTA IV and V are PC ONLY. NO official Mac OS X version for these.
    There are no other versions available on the Mac App Store! so those should run on your Mac with little issues as it is designed to run on OS X 10.6.6 and later OS X versions.
    From the GTA website posted in Feb 2014,
    https://support.rockstargames.com/hc/en-us/articles/200147266-Macintosh-system-r equirements-and-specifications-for-Grand-Theft-Auto-III-Vice-City-and-San-Andrea s
    AND, the GTA web link does not mention any support for OS X 10.7, 10.8, 10.9 OR 10.10.
    So, I am not sure what versions of these games you purchased and where, but it would appear the recent versions of these games are NOT OS X supported.
    You would need to install the proper version of Windows on your Mac to play these games.
    If you are running the latest Tomb Raider that is available on the Mac App Store either Tomb Raider Essential or Tomb Raider Underworld, both should be able to run on your Mac. Tomb Raider Underworld runs on OS X 10.6.6 or later and Tomb Raider Essentials runs on OS X 10.9.1 Mavericks and later.
    You might be having issues with these on OS X 10.10 Yosemite as users are still having issues with the new OS X.
    Did you ever play these under OS X 10.9 Mavericks?.
    I suspect issues with these games under Yosemite as Yosemite, itself, uses more hardware overhead. Based on numerous issues posted here about Yosemite, seems Yosemite is more taxing on both RAM and the GPU.

  • The apps on my iPhone 6 are grayed out and say "Waiting-" when i click on them.

    I just upgraded to an iPhone 6. I backed up all my apps from my old iPhone 4 to my iTunes on my computer (MacBookPro). I then plugged in the new iPhone 6 and did a restore using the files from my old iPhone.
    Everything transferred over perfectly but now, about half the apps I purchased on my old phone are grayed out. When I click on them they say "Waiting…" but nothing happens. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

    I am having the same problem. I have many dark icons that say waiting. I can't do anything with them. I can't even delete them because they do not get the little x on the upper right corner like the light apps get. I do not know what to do. If I call Apple they will charge me for support as my phone is over a year old.

  • I know where my iTunes backups are stored, but when I click on them, there is nothing in the folders.

    I needed to restore my iPad without doing an update because my computer has a virus and fails to download iOS 8. My iPad is jailbroken so I can't do an OTA update either. My plan is to restore my iPad, so that the jailbreak can be removed, and do an OTA update. When I tried to restore without updating, I had to find the backups and when I click on them, it says "no items match your search,"

  • This is probably a dumb question, but I can't find an answer. How do I make the text on my calendar larger so I can actually read it when I print it out?

    This is probably a dumb question, but I can't find an answer. How do I make the text on my calendar larger so I can actually read it when I print it out? I am using a MacBook.

    Press "Command P" and when the Print dialogue box comes up, towards the bottom there is an option allowing you to choose the text size, i.e: small, med, large.
    Hope this helps,
