  • When I select System Preferences in Apple menu, nothing happens. ?hat can I do?

    when I select System Preferences in Apple menu, nothing happens. What can I do?

    Try a PRAM reset:
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.

  • Acrobat 8 Professional 8.1.2 crashes When selecting "Rotate Pages" from the "Document" drop down men

    When selecting "Rotate Pages" from the "Document" drop down menu Acrobat 8 Professional 8.1.2 crashes. Every time, no error mesage. Have run "Repair Acrobat Installation" with no success. Any suggestions? Thanks

    I am also experiencing the same problem only recently.  I have used the program for almost a year without any problems except now.  Adobe Acrobat 8 standard, ver 8.1.5.
    Whenever I insert pages or rotate, I get an immediate shut down window, “Adobe Acrobat 8.1 ahs encountered a problem and needs to close.
    I am no longer able to use this program.  Abobe Acrobat 5.0 still works fine.  Does anyone have a solution?  I already did a repair and reloaded the program.

  • How do I get Javascript to work? It is enabled in options but nothing happens when I select something that begins "javascript" on the status bar at the bottom of screen.

    When I tried to download a file from the Canon U.S.A, I clicked on the "I agree - begin download" button and nothing happened. The information in the status bar at bottom of screen, when the mouse cursor is over the download button is "javascript:downloadFile()". I got following from the error console -
    Error: The stylesheet http://www.usa.canon.com/wsss/GeneratedPages/wsss_xsl/global.css was not loaded because its MIME type, "text/html", is not "text/css".
    Source File: http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/printers_multifunction/i_series/i950_series?selectedName=DriversAndSoftware
    There were also many warnings about parsing of commands.
    This sort of thing seems to happens whenever whenever javascript is involved.

    I checked out the "Unable to download or save files" section. The only thing that seemed applicable was the "Reset download actions" section. I renamed the mimeTypes.rdf file to mimeTypes.rdf.old but it didn't seem to have any effect on downloading the file I wanted. There was still no response when I asked for the download.
    I have noticed another problem that occurs when I try to download this file. I exit Firefox, then try to restart it. But nothing happens. I have discovered that in the Task Manager that the Firefox process is still running. When I end the Firefox process in the Task Manager, I am then able to restart Firefox.
    By the way, I am able to download the file using Internet Explorer without difficulty.

  • I've downloaded iTunes on this computer but now nothing happens when I plug my phone in the USB port.

    I had a software update on my phone and tapped it to start the update then decided to cancel it. Now it will not let me back in my phone and has a picture that is telling me to plug into iTunes. I had to download iTunes on this computer first because it wasnt on this computer. It has downloaded, but nothing happens when i plug my phone up to the USB port in my computer. The picture telling me to plug into iTunes is still on my phone.

    Try carefully following the steps outlined in this Apple support document to put your iPad into recovery mode.

  • Nothing happens when connect iTouch to mac - is the cable already dead?

    Last week when I connected my (4 week old) touch to the right-side usb port, nothing happened, but then it connected fine to the left-sided port; bit funny I thought, but got on with my syncing etc. Today, nothing happens when I connect on either side. Do I have a problem with the USB cable?
    Thanks in advance for any help...

    Macs can get USB errors just like any other computer. Try restarting or shutting down and restarting and then try syncing again.

    When I try and select these buttons, nothing happens. This is a brand new netbook and the first thing I did was download firefox. Is there a way I can correct this?

    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]]

    Hi Mariah ~
    It's Shaunn, the original poster. Thanks for your posting. I'm glad I'm not the only one that's having this problem.
    Now that you mention it, I'm having the exact same problem on Facebook as well, when I play Family Feud.
    I wish someone would investigate and post a solution to this problem. No-one from Playlist has responded, and no-one "Officially" from Firefox either.
    So Mariah, I appreciate you and your post.
    If you find anything out...from anywhere...would you please let me know. You can post it right here and I'll get an email from Firefox.
    I'll do the same for you.
    Enjoy your day and good luck.
    Shaunn

  • How can I change preferences to enable javascript on mac (nothing happens when I click on preferences)?

    I am using Firefox 3.6.13 for Mac. I disabled Javascript (in Preferences) to see if it would affect problems with browsing speed. I then discovered I need Javascript for my email, so I went back to Preferences to enable Javascript, but when I click on Preferences now, nothing happens.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]

  • Nothing happens when i type a subject in the status bar

    when I type a subject or something I want to find e.g. wikipedia or red sea, dogs etc in the box in middle of screen, nothing happens. I am not rerouted to any page.
    The only way I can access a page is to write the address in the menu bar at the top or go into the smaller google toolbar at the top right hand corner of the screen

    You're presumably talking about the Firefox home page. After you type in a search term, hit Enter.
    If that doesn't work, then update to Firefox 4.0.1 by clicking Help | About Firefox | Check For Updates. Then try again.
    If the problem persists, disable AVG Safe Search by clicking the Firefox button, go to Add-ons, then Extensions and you should be able to find it in there.
    If you don't have the AVG app installed, try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it functions properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.
