Needs reboot after single FF use, buttons freeze, etc, etc.

Firefox problems - second request, last one two weeks ago
System claims FF is running when Task Manager shows no such thing
FF can no longer load previous tabs with the This is Embarrassing screen and I have to click to restore
FF will never reload a second time except after a reboot, it can last hours or punk out in a half hour for no apparnet reason
Recently it has been refusing to answer clicks on any of the upper chooser buttons, including the tab row
Constant reinstalls of the latest 3.6.13 FF do nothing.
eBay refuses to enlarge item pictures though it will after clicking Explorer
FF has turned into a monster in the last few months and I at my wits end. I use eBay and the Net religiously. Is there anyone monitoring current FF problems, particularly those who engineered it? At present, this is not a program to be proud of.

HT4623 my iphone 4 needs rebooting after trying to update through air, but i dont have access to itunes. Is there any manual way to do this?

my iphone 4 stop working after trying toupdate, how can i reboot without itunes?

If you mean it's in recovery mode, no. There is no way around it. It must be restored using a computer running iTunes.

WRT160N v2 needing reboot after only one day?!

Hi all,
My D-Link Gamer Lounge died so I went to Best Buy and bought the Linksys WRT160N v2. Brought it home and performance was approximately equal to dialup. Took it back to Best Buy and exchanged it for another WRT160N v2. My thinking was that the first one was perhaps dropped on its head or something.
The second one worked like a champ and I was up and flying in no time flat.
Got home from work today and none of my computers could connect wirelessly. That is, until I rebooted the router. Then all connected just fine without any issues. Hardwired computers worked fine the whole time (have two hardwired and five wireless). This doesn't give me any "warm fuzzies" about this router.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks,
Mike

Try to upgrade the firmware from www.linksys.com/downloads.
Reset the router and reconfigure it .
1. Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds.
2. Then, unplug the power keep holding down the reset button for
another 30 Seconds.
3. Plug back the power back in, and keep holding down the reset button
for 30 Seconds.
4. Release the reset button.

Application Server - Always needs reboot after application update?

Hi,
Every time I release a WPF application (4.5) via copy-paste assemblies) onto a dedicated application server -note I am not updating the version number of the exe or anything special) and override the executable already present in the server, my
end-users do not see the new application changes. I am having to restart the app-server so the server can "see" the latest exe.
Is this some sort of caching issue with "exes"? That the application server caches it and then instead of picking up the newly update exe it picks up the old one from some "cache"? Note that restarting the "client" machine does
not solve the issue, only restarting the server does. If so, how can I clear this "cache"?
Thanks,
-Alejandro

Laptop rebooted after virus

My laptop needed rebooting after it got infected and i lost everything. I have loaded itunes 8 and want my ipod nano to be syncd with the laptop but it is still linked to the laptop as was before it crashed HELP.

1). Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod.
2). When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
3). Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you only want to copy your purchases to the computer that can be done using iTunes, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
For everything else (including purchases) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
Comparison of iPod managers
A selection of iPod to iTunes utilities:
TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
SharePod Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod2PC Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
YamiPod Mac and Windows
iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows
Floola Mac & Windows
iPodRip Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
Music Rescue Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
4). Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync.
5). I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

Need to reboot after using XTorrent

Hi, I am using Airport Extreme, and it is working perfectly fine, except if I use XTorrent all night. Then the other users are unable to connect to Internet, they cannot even see the base. So I have to reboot Airport everytime I use XTorrent for a long time. Do you know if there is a way to avoid this?

The forum chopped the rest of my post:
You are almost assuredly running out of RAM and therefor paging out to disk. Test by looking at the Page Outs number under System Memory on the Activity Monitor app before starting a work session; recheck after working and if the page outs increased significantly during operation your workflow is RAM-starved. Ignore the other info in Activity Monitor.
If page outs increase significantly during operation add RAM and/or try to run Aperture by itself. On my C2D MBP with its max of 3 GB RAM I always did a restart prior to a heavy Aperture session to clear any memory leaks and make sure no other apps were open. Browsers in particular will often suck RAM Aperture would otherwise be using.
If your test of page outs does show that you are paging to disk the speed of your drives and connectivity becomes even more important than normal. Drives slow as they fill so keep drives underfilled. No more than ~70% full is a good maximum guideline, but less full is faster. Use Firewire rather than USB for external drives when possible.
IMO all Aperture users who can should routinely bump RAM to at least 8 GB.
Go to 8 GB RAM from Crucial or OWC http://eshop.macsales.com/ and you may be OK.

You need to restore the iPad.

TS4080 apple thunderbolt display image on display intermittently goes dark, does not wake from sleep after clicking mouse or keyboard, but there is "bonk" sound after clicking mouse or pressing keys. Rebooting by pressing the power button resolves issue.

My apple thunderbolt display (which I purchased 1.5 years ago; OS 10.7.5 Mac Mini) intermittently goes dark, does not wake from sleep after clicking mouse or keyboard, but there is "bonk" sound after clicking mouse or pressing keys, so am thinking it is a hardware problem with the display. Rebooting by pressing the power button turns the screen back on, but the same phenomenon has occurred several times. Could this be a software issue, or do I need to have my display repaired? Your feedback would be appreciated.

Hi ED, tough to tell, but it does sound like it's waking with the bonk, just not displaying.
Long shot but...
I wonder if it's a variation of this, of which I've seen many different symptoms...
Resolution
Move the mouse or trackpad cursor over the center area of the login window so you can see the user icons. Click on the icon of the user that you would like to login as, type in the user's password, and press Return.
If the login window is configured to show only the name and password fields, type in the user's name and password into the fields, and press Return (even if you cannot see the rest of the login window).
Additional Information
This issue will not occur if the display is not sleeping when the account is logged out. Use the steps below to confirm that the account is not configured to log out automatically while the display is sleeping:
1. Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General. Click the padlock to unlock the preference pane and enter your admin password. Click the Advanced button at the bottom, then see if the option "Log out after N minutes of inactivity" (where N is the number of minutes) is enabled.
2. Open System Preferences > Energy Saver and configure Display Sleep to occur after the account is logged out, by dragging the slider to a number of minutes that is greater than N was set to in the previous step.
Important: If automatic log out is not needed, disable "Log out after Nminutes of inactivity" in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General. This will also prevent the issue.

The buttons in main the vi get locked after opening a vi reference in a subpanel and using buttons within the subpanel.

I am trying to open a reference to a vi in the subpanel of the main vi. However after the vi opens in the subpanel and after pressing a few buttons in the subpanel the buttons in the main vi get locked, i.e. I can't even close the main vi or control anything else. Is there any way how I can avoid this happening?

This is most likely happening because in either the top or sub panel,
there is an event structure that is queuing events, and is set to lock
the panel until the events are handled, and because of the logic in the
diagram, the events aren't being pulled from the queue.
So, you have a deadlock. You are waiting
on the panel. The panel is
waiting on the diagram. And the diagram is waiting on something else.
So, if there are indeed event structures involved, determine where in
the diagram things are delaying. Also, if you do not need the panel to
lock until the event is handled, you can change the setting in the
events dialog on the structure. But the events will still be queued
until the diagram starts executing.

After updating to Yosemite, I updated iPhoto. Alert said to convert my library to new iPhoto. Then alert said I needed to repair permissions. Then a freeze. Then iPhoto won't find and show my library. How do I fix this?

After updating to Yosemite, I updated iPhoto. Alert said to convert my library to new iPhoto. Then alert said I needed to repair permissions. Then a freeze. Then iPhoto won't find and show my library. How do I fix this? I can see the library icon on my external drive, but it doesn't show as a library in iPhoto. When I double click on the icon, nothing happens. When I choose it from alternate menu, doesn't open. Where do I get help?

Peter
Do you have a back up? What version of iPhoto do you have? Assuming 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 Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
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.

IMac 24-inch 2.4 GHz (circa 2007) freezes, reboots after several hours

Looked through all the other discussion topics and saw somewhat related issues, but my older system is acting very strange.
Starting back in October 2010, the system starting slowing down (heard the HD writing (clicking away)). Seemed to happen when a lot of windows were open. Reboot after reboot. About 2 weeks ago the system wouldn't reboot - tried all the special boot letters and buttons, no help. Took the system to the local "genius bar" - not much help, but they were able to reboot the system. They recommended backing up our personal data files in case it crashed. Did that. System continued to operate progressively slower each day. Thanksgiving weekend, wiped the HD and reloaded all the software, loaded Mac OS X (10.4.11), my older system can't load 10.5 or higher due to compatibility.
Now experiencing same problems as before, but iTunes now skips (new problem), system becomes unresponsive - freezes. Attempt to reboot results in the white screen of death with the question mark in the folder icon in the middle of the screen. But, after waiting a long time, overnight or 3 to 4 hours after being off, the system does reboot and operate fine. This seems very strange. Why would the system become so inoperable after performing fine? The only thing I can think of is that the system is overheating. So I loaded the temp widget (iStat Pro - very cool app) which provides instantaneous temp info on internal components, but I can't figure out how to data log the temp data so as to track temp rise trends.
Anyway, anybody have any recommendations?

It sounds like your HD is failing. First _do a full system backup immediately!!!!!!_
Then you can do some checks, first is check the S.M.A.R.T. status in Disk Utility (Applications-Utilities-Disk Utility) The status should say Verified, if it says anything else then your disk is definitely in trouble.
If the status is Verified then do an Apple Hardware Test following the instructions here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1509
This will test your system, if it comes back with error codes please post back and we can give you an idea what they mean. However as I mentioned originally I think your HD is getting ready to fail.

I need to create buttons in which the color changes, and stays on after you release the button

I need to create buttons in which the color changes, and stays on after you release the button. The hard part is the buttons must change independently of each other.
To get an idea of some of things I’ve tried I’ve tried making the movie with two frames.
When I click the button it switched to the new frame which would show a movie clip,
Unfortunately all buttons would change color together and don’t see how to make it so that they change independently.

you must use movieclip buttons and code for their frame changes.

Fresh Win7, freeze while rebooting after video driver installation

Yesterday when I opened my laptop it froze while booting when the Win7 logo appears. Rebooted in safemode, all was good, didn't know what to look for exactly.
Today, I decided it was time for a new Win7 reinstall so I did it. Also, did a complete format of my SSD where I keep only my OS.
While it was rebooting after installing the AMD video driver it froze again, in the same spot. Restarted the laptop, chose last known good config and noticed in device manager that one of the video cards had error 43 (Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43))
I tried to install the driver for Intel then, but I got an error saying my laptop does not have the minimum requierments (even for older versions of the driver)
I tried every possible combination of installing, uninstalling, enabling, disabling one of the cards.
When I install the AMD driver, the Intel driver installs itself too.
When I leave AMD graphics enabled, it freezez at Win7 logo while booting,
When I disable AMD and leave just Intel enabled, then it boots normally, but right after the reboot, device manager shows them both with yellow triangle and "!" with error "This device cannot work properly until you restart your computer. (Code 14)", and of course, if I reboot then it freezes again.
I have already spent 10h on this and couldn't find a way to fix it.

Hi
Using Advanced boot options ( F8 at start up ) go into Safe Mode with Command prompt , Once Safe mode loads with command prompt type rstrui.exe hit Enter .... This will take you into System Restore ... Follow the onscreen instructions to Restore your system to the time before the AMD driver was installed . You can choose from multiple restore points if they have been created by you or your system .
Post me your Findings
