  • I have an old Ipod and am trying to sync the music from it onto my new (Windows) Computer. When it links us it says it must remove and sync the music. Does this mean I will lose the music from my ipod forever?

    Yes, that is exactly what it means.
    The right way to do it is to first rebuild your library on the new computer, and then sync the iPod. 
    You can rebuild your library by copying the library from the old computer or from your backup.
    If neither of those options is available, you can extract the songs from the iPod, although the process is a bit hairy.  See this guide for the procedure, written by Forum member Steve/turingtest2.

  • I am receiving a "couldn't load XPCOM" error. I know that I can reinstall Firefox but how do I save my bookmarks?

    I am receiving a "couldn't load XPCOM" error. I know that I can reinstall Firefox but when I went to do that it erased all of my bookmarks so I did a system restore. How do I save my bookmarks?

    Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
    *Download the full Firefox installer and save the file to the desktop<br>https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
    If possible uninstall your current Firefox version to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
    *Do NOT remove "personal data" when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords including data in profiles created by other Firefox versions.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
    *(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
    Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure NOT to remove personal data when you uninstall Firefox as that will remove all Firefox profile folders and you lose your personal data.
    If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

  • New Window takes awhile to open

    Whenever I try to open a new window, either by clicking New Window, hitting CTRL N, or clicking on a link to open a new window, it takes the window 30+ seconds to launch. While it is in the process of opening Firefox works normally and I can work in other windows without issue. Creating a new tab or opening links in a new tab works fine. Disabling add-ons did not fix the problem. Neither did uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox (same profile though). Doing a Refresh and having Firefox reset the profile DID fix the problem. However, as soon as I set up Sync again with my primary desktop to restore my settings, etc. the problem came back. I have had this problem for as long as I can remember, but just didn't have time to troubleshoot it until now. I am guessing there is a setting buried in one of the files and I am hoping someone can help me change it so I don't have to start from scratch rebuilding the profile the way I like it. Thanks for your time!

    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
    '''If Firefox is open,''' you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
    * Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    '''If Firefox is not running,''' you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".

  • Question 1: new website takes forever to load.

    I just published my first website. The first page is all words and yet it takes forever to load. Why is this?
    The site is: http://shortpoem.org/
    Any suggestions on how to speed things up? Thank you.
    (The credit page mentions Sandvov, however I removed those pages.)

    It could be that the audio track is the biggest part of the file size. CD audio (AIFF format) is about 10MB's per minute and, if that's what you used, reducing the quality and adding compression could dramatically reduce the file size.
    iTunes can open AIFF and convert it to AAC or MP3 formats. Use half the frequency (22050) and a bit rate of 96 to get it down in size.

  • New version takes longer to load & nrowsing session times out very quickly

    I have recently installed the latest version of Firefox. I have enjoyed using it as a browser in the past. However, this latest version takes longer to load and my browsing sessions time out quicker. Do you have any fixes?

    I ran into similar issues with projects that run up to 14MB in size.  Allen Partridge produced a blog post "Nearly Instant Download & Playback of Captivate Files Online" (http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate/2010/06/nearly_instant_download_playba.html).  I followed Allen's instructions but still found that my projects still took too long to load from the LMS.  After an e-mail exchange with Allen, he suggested that I convert my slide audio's to object audio's.  Seems like slide audio when the course is published become a huge audio string and this string needs to load before the project is launched.   So I place a transparent text box on all my slides that had slide audio and attached the audio to the transparent text boxes.  My load times went from 30 to 90 sec's to 5-10 sec's.  Not sure if you have slide audio but if so try this to see if it helps.
    Good Luck

  • New I pad won't load certain web pages unless I clear cache and history every time

    New I pad 64gb with Telstra pre paid.
    Full signal 3G
    Everything up to date.
    This is the scinario I am getting, and it's getting worse. I am actually writing this on my other I pad as the new one won't load this page!!!! Not happy!
    Lets say I'm on e bay searching stuff and suddenly it won't load any more pages from the search results. I can open a new tab and load other sites so the internet is working, but at this instant i cannot look at any eBay pages on the new I pad.
    I go into settings and clear browsing history and the cookies, go back into safari and I can now load eBay and view the page that wouldnt load before. Sometimes this method will work for an hour, sometimes only 2-3 mins.
    This fault is happening more and more frequently, I was on yahoo earlier reading news. Then the page wouldn't load. Couldn't load previous page either exactly the same as with eBay.
    So I go on apple.com.au and sign in to support to ask them. Page won't load . GRRRR!
    Clear the cache etc and it's fine for a few mins then the same so I am writing this off our old I pad 1, using the Internet tethered from the new iPad that wouldn't load this page
    It's happening more and more I don't know if it's a problem with Telstra or with the I pad? Is this a common problem?
    I have tried Mercury browser and Terra browser and the fault remains.
    Seems to be on any website it can happen now.
    And now when it does, I can't check e mail, load maps, carry out speed tests anything Internet related.
    I can tether the I pad and it works fine on my old one.
    Maybe faulty I pad?

    I'm thinking it may be a DNS issue. I cleared my DNS cache using OnyX and my problem went away. OnyX is a free utility and is very useful. You can get it here:
    http://www.titanium.free.fr/download.php?sid=b94ceb83c26f4f935b661c52a5f8bff1
    Ever since I did that, I haven't had any other issues. Good luck!

  • I updated Firefox and the extensions and keep getting "restart firefox for changes to take effect." Even after restarting, none of the add-ons actually update and do not appear, for instance, noscript. Please help!

    There are a bunch of add-ons that recently were updated, including noscript, adblock, etc. These add-ons were updated successfully and say in the add-on window they will be installed the next time Firefox restarts. There's also a bar that says "restart firefox now" and even when clicking restart firefox, none of the updates seem to load. I had to manually download the noscript the last time to get it to work but alas with the latest update, again, same problems. i tried disabling other plugins with no impact either. Anyone else having a similar problem and does anyone know how to get this resolved?

    Delete the files extensions.* (extensions.rdf, extensions.cache, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox [[Profiles|profile folder]] to reset the extensions registry. New files will be created when required.
    See "Corrupt extension files": http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
    If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the "Find Updates" button (in Firefox 4: right-click the extension -> "Find Updates") to do a compatibility check.

  • Firefox crashes for 10 seconds when trying to download files, deleting downloads.sqlite, reinstalling firefox, disable all add-ons doesn't solve this problem. Help!

    I am having this problem for weeks now.
    What I tried:
    - Defragmentation
    - Reinstall Firefox on a different location
    - Change download location
    - Start Firefox in safe mode and try download
    - Disable all add-ons and plug-ins
    - Complete malware/spyware scan
    - Complete virus scan
    - Delete downloads.sqlite in the profile folder
    - Uninstall firefox and delete the entire mozilla folder in Roaming location
    - Disabling antivirus
    Nothing helps! I'm only having this problem in Firefox. Downloading with Chrome for example doesn't give any problems.
    How can I resolve this problem? I'm really desperate.
    Thank you in advance!

    Thanks for your input but I already said that I deleted downloads.sqlite.

  • Trying to move files to trash takes forever, and finder windows take forever to load files/apps

    after recently installing Mackeeper (yes, I know..) and attempting to uninstall, my macbook pro 13" al. is taking forever to move a file to the trash, and it equally takes forever to open a finder window. running 10.6.8.

    MacKeeper is an exception to the rule that system modifications should be uninstalled according to the developer's instructions. Although not generally recognized as such, MacKeeper is in fact a trojan, because the developer distributes an uninstaller that purports to delete it, but leaves behind something that causes popup ads to appear in the user’s web browser. Try following the instructions here:
    how to uninstall MacKeeper « Phil Stokes
    I can't personally vouch for the accuracy of those instructions, but others seem to have had success with them.

  • I have bought a 'brand new' iphone 4 from e-bay. The seller said it was on o2, but it will not take an o2 sim? Tried all of the major networks and it will not take any of them. Seller is very unhelpful and I don't know how to find the original carrier. C

    Hi
    I have bought an Iphone 4 from ebay. It was listed as brand new and on o2. The phone has never been activated but it won't take an o2 sim, in fact I've tried the majority of the UK networks and it just keeps saying sim not supported please insert the original sim. The seller is very unhelpful and I'm a bit lost now. Can anyone help? I'm an iphone novice, am I doing something wrong?

    The only option here is to contract 02 and ask them why the phone won't work.  If the phone is supposedly locked to 02, then they are the only ones who can help you.  Try contacting them to see.
    If they can't help you, then I'm afraid that you have been had on ebay and it is never a good idea to purchase iPhones and anything of an expensive nature there - you can never trust what people say.
    You need to contact the seller and either ask for the original sim card for the phone and if the phone is actually locked to 02 or you just tell them that you are returning the phone for a full refund.
    If the seller is not being helpful, then you can file a dispute with ebay and ebay will then sort it out for you and you should be able to return the phone for a full refund.
    Bottom line:  Don't buy an iPhone from ebay and if you want an iPhone on 02, go to an 02 store and buy one - they have plenty in stock - my local branch has iPhone 5's in stock and they still have the iPhone 4's if you want one.
