hello Singyt, the bug report associated to this kind of crash indicates that it might be a malware related issue.
your crash report also shows a file named "urixalog.dll", which doesn't turn up any search hits on google, which is also slightly suspicious. could you search for that file on your pc and upload it to a site like virustotal.com in order to analyze it.
please do a full scan of your system with the security software already in place and/or a different tool like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes].

edit: the bug report also suggests that a monitoring program named spector pro/360/... which essentially acts like malware, might cause the issue. in case you have that installed please remove it. otherwise [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Firefox%20crashes%20when%20you%20open%20it#w_backdoor-ulrbot-c here] would be a removal guide for urixalog.dll

Reh... Doesn't work on my 2012 Mac mini. A function key set in Sys Prefs worked in Leopard and Lion on my MB but I cannot get any key to work using SysPref Dictation & Speech. It is befuddling and now I have to go to Edit-Speech to turn on and turn off speech to selected text.
I have used Macs and Apple 2es since cave man days and Apple is becoming so befuddling I am wondering if there is even an advantage to it over Windows XP. I spent a lot on this little box, it looks good (the first one had to be exchanged as it wouldn't link to my keyboard ???) but Apple intuitive does no longer seem meaningful.
If speech to text no longer is accessible by short cuts using Fkeys, why bother to have it in Syst Prefs?
Apple is losing its way. The pleasure is gone and no one at Apple seems to care.

I had the same issue I bought my MacBook Pro in Jan. my harddrive was bad and they had to replace it. I know the guy held down the shift botton for a little then pressed the power botton while still holding down the shift botton and it turned on but not completely since my hard drive was bad.

If the calendar is on iCoud.com, all you would need to do to get it on your phone is go to Settings>iCloud on your phone, sign into your iCoud account and turn Calendars on. The iCloud calendars will then download to your phone.

model is in RESTORING state and I dont know how to fix it. I am running simple backups, so I have a somewhat recent backup of model.bak but when I attempt to restore it I get an error:

other forums suggest manually updating the status column but i dont know if my syntax is wrong or it just cant be done in sql server 2008:

2> update sysdatabases set status=16 where name='model'
3> ;
4> go

update sysdatabases set status=16 where name='model'

yet another forum suggested taking a cleanly shut down model.mdf and model.ldf from another sql server 2008 instance and placing those in the data directory while moving the 'restoring' ones to a backup location. this didnt work either. any help is appreciated im new to sql server and this is very frustrating! thanks in advance!

Will not start on New Install. Opening goes straight to Crash reporter

Will not start on New Install. Clicking on icon does not open a window and goes straight to Crash reporter. I cannot access a window to try to open in safe mode (unless there is another method than outlined in the help article).
I run Windows XP and trying to install the latest 15.0.1 version. Before install, I did disable my Symantic virus protection. I have never used Firefox and would like to try it, but I'm having little success so far to even get started.
Please let me know if anyone has any other ideas or need more information from me.

Firefox Application will not start unless in PC Safe Mode

== Issue
==
I have another kind of problem with Firefox
== Description
==
A couple of days ago after seemingly working fine the day before Firefox suddenly decided to stop working. I seem to recall updating both my Adobe Flash and my Java on that day, and I'm also not 100% sure that I didn't change my Overclock settings too (but I think I did that and Firefox was still working)
Basically if I "start" Firefox from any location be it shortcut, direct executable or otherwise the application does not "run" I get the process but that is all. I have tried renaming to various combinations but still nothing appears to have any effect. Using the -profilemanager suffix in my shortcut / startmenu search and creating and using a new Profile has no effect either as does deletion, and Firefox Safe Mode shows the settings window but after choosing to open in safe mode nothing happens and I am left with the Firefox process hanging there doing nothing. I have tried multiple compatibility and administrator run settings but no effect.
I have uninstalled, reinstalled. Done full cleans deleting everything to do with Firefox and its Profiles. Uninstalled Flash and Java, and then Reinstalling FF. I have scoured the registy deleting anything obviously connected to Firefox, Mozilla and even Java to no effect (I have not cleaned out for Flash due to having multiple Adobe apps which I would prefer not to screw up.) I have downgraded from 3.6.3 to 3.6.2 and as far as 3.5.1 and then doing upgrade to the new 3.6.4. All with the help of my CCleaner to tie off any loose ends, but nothing seems to work. Can't restore pc to earlier date as I only remembered about it after I had already made too many changes.
The only time I can manage to run Firefox properly at all is when I am in Windows Safe Mode, I am sick of Google Chrome as it feels really slow and I also dislike Safari, Opera and Internet Explorer. I really do not know what else to do and would really appreciate some help so that I may use the only good browser that I have found again.

Firefox will only open in safe mode and other issues in Firefox 3.6.8
Rig / Set-up:
Win 7 (U.S.) / Ultimate 32bit
• P.O.S. Internet Explorer not installed…
• Firefox Default Browser
This Event:
1. Firefox will immediately close after opening 2 blank (Untitled) tabs and /or 2 (Untitled) windows.
2. Firefox will not open a 2nd time.
3. Firefox will only open in Safe-mode (.exe))
4. Firefox excruciating slow Start-Up
5. Firefox web –surfing unbearably slow
6. Firefox unpleasant web page hanging behavior
7. Firefox awful flash content behavior / Obnoxious Adobe Flash Player has always been and will always be crap.
The Cause:
Session Manager = Corruption …!!!
o This issue was created by faulty and inconsistent and flawed M$ Win 7 legacy software support for Hardware.
 The Keyboard / Hardware would generate a separate session manager event with the action/Web key.
 Firefox and/or TabMixPlus session manger were corrupted in the event process.
The Source:
A: Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate32-US Version = substandard legacy device handling :
B: Hardware/Keyboard (shortcut) Customization Software Conflicts causing Corruptions of Firefox-Session Manger.
The Fix..!!!
I. Remove from Add and Remove Programs (Win7) Hardware/Keyboard Software “only”. ..Special note: Win 7 Updated- Hardware/Keyboard Device driver does not have to be removed...!!
II. Clean and remove all Instances of Keyboard software.
a. The “Best-est and Safest” Registry Cleaner is jv16 2010 Power Tools.
b. Restart Computer.
III. “If” available install an older version of your “Hardware/keyboard software” compatible with Win 7 that will allow some customization of Hardware/Keyboard-keys.
Confirm fix by:
1. Restart Firefox from Hardware/Keyboard key (shortcut).
2. Clean-up Internet crap and corrupted session managers...
3. Test Launch keyboard shortcut of Firefox.exe [“after” a clean-up of all internet crap]…
4. Test launch keyboard shortcut again / use Firefox extensively or normal use for any recurring bad web behavior.
If Corruption events occur again:
i. Use different and / or Older Keyboard “software” with win 7.
ii. Or you will have to wait for a Win 7 Hardware/Keyboard software update for keyboard installed.
Note:
“Do not use the hardware or keyboard shortcut-key for Web Browsing… Or else: // This Event (See Above): …Will Continue..!!!..”
And it is “not” a Firefox 3.6.8 issue.
So, look elsewhere.
Look @ the main culprits:
a. Substandard legacy device handling: Micro$oft Windows Operating System in combination / with.
b. Customization Software for your keyboard or other hardware that generates web functions and web sessions. / Hardware driver may not be the problem.
Add-on:
Flash Switcher Win / 1.0.2_
DownThemAll! / 1.1.10__
Personal Menu / 4.3.2__
Tab Mix Plus / 0.3.8.4__
Theme Font Size Changer / 0.2_
MR Tech Toolkit / 6.0.4__
Menu Editor / 1.2.6
It is with hope that this solution may help someone.?
Happy Foxing..!!!

Windows XP will not update to latest version of iTunes, any ideas

iPhone will not connect to PC (Windows XP) because PC requires 11.1 or later. When I try and install the latest download it states "the feature is on a network resource that is unavailable, enter an alternate path to "iTunes.msi". What does this mean, any fixes out there?

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Final cut studio 3 will not start unless connected to my old mac

Ok. I bought a new 2.3 gig processor, 12 gig ram, 512 SSD, 17" macbook pro, unfortunately with lion preinstalled. I installed my copy of FCP studio 3 and no problem. However the FCP install is forcing me to log into my old laptop that has FCP installed. this will not work for me as I am about to wipe that laptop and regift it to a different employee in another state. Has any one seen this and how do I fix it. TXA

Okay I found the solution. Here is what happened, I installed from the original disc, however when I opened FCP to test the application, I was also logged onto my old machine and transferring files from my old home folder. FCP saw a similarly named home folder and assumed that the FCP document folder on my old machine was the right scratch disk. So later I tried to open FCP and found that I had a "missing" scratch disk and I repointed to my raid. then the FCP froze, requesting I log into my old mac. I did so, imediatly posted this issue on the forum. However sense then I have ejected the network drive of my old machine and restart FCP. the error no longer show up. I am sorry for taking up folks time with this, but I wanted to post the solution incase someone else blunders into the issue.

Rebuilding aMacBook 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo, hard drive failure so rebuilding system. Aircard will not stop self-assigning IP address. Any ideas how to resolve successfully?

Had hard drive failure on MacBook 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo, so had to rebuild the OS on new drive. Was on Lion 10.7.5 prior to failure, but had to reinstall Snow Leopard 10.6.3 since that was most recent OS on media I had. After finally getting ethernet connection to router working, was able to get to internet and download / upgrade to 10.6.8. I assume I can probably buy the upgrade to Mountain Lion 10.8 from there.
Problem is this, Airport will not stop self-assigning IP address for my wireless connection, and unless I can get wireless back on this laptop, doesn't make a lot of sense to continue the rebuild and reinstall of all the software that was on it prior to HD failure. Only way to my home network and router is ethernet now. Everything else on my network (Apple MacBook Pro laptops, iPhones, desktops, and non-Apple printers and laptops) is hooking up to router wirelessly fine.
Any ideas how to resolve successfully so that the airport will stop self-assigning and allow the router to assign the IP address?

my iphone 3 will not sync with itunes, it says Apple mobile device is not started, also doing it with ipad - can anyone help??? thanks

Restart your computer. Run iTunes and check for updates. If there is a later version of iTunes available, download and install it. Then try again. If you still cannot see your iPad listed in iTunes make a list of all the things you have tried so that we can see exactly what steps you have taken.

For about a week now, Firefox will not start unless I re-install it, then it works for about a day and does the same thing. I have gone through all of the fixes

I am on the current Firefox version. I am running Windows 7 Professional with all current updates, and I run McAfee. As stated, I have tried all of the possible fixes your site discusses and have made sure McAfee is setup to allow Firefox full access. I am not sure what to do. Doing a reinstall fixes it for 12 to 24 hours. There is no message, just does not start and there does not seem to be a process running.

Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox and any leftover program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps one by one:
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu) and confirm all upcoming messages.
#Now, uninstall Firefox by following the steps mentioned in the [[Uninstall Firefox from your computer#w_uninstall-firefox|Uninstall Firefox]] article.
'''IMPORTANT:''' On Windows, the uninstaller has the option to remove your personal data and settings. Make sure that you do '''not''' check this option; otherwise all of your bookmarks, passwords, extensions, user customizations and other Firefox [[Profiles|user profile data]] will be removed from your computer.
After uninstalling Firefox on Windows, delete the "Mozilla Firefox" program folder, located by default in one of these locations:
* '''(On 32-bit Windows)''' ''C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox''
* '''(On 64-bit Windows)''' ''C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox''
#Go to the Windows Start menu and click on "Computer".
#In the Explorer window that opens, double click Local Disk (C:) to open the C:\ drive.
#Find the "Program Files (x86)" folder or "Program Files" folder.
#* On 32-bit Windows, double-click the '''Program Files''' folder to open it.
#* On 64-bit Windows, you will see a "Program Files (x86)" folder AND a "Program Files" folder. Open the '''Program Files (x86)''' folder.
#Look for a '''Mozilla Firefox''' folder. If you find one, right-click it and select ''Delete'' and confirm that you want to move the folder to the Recycle Bin.
Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
#Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
#Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
Please report back to see if this helped you!

Iphone 4 will not play audiobook purchased in itunes. Any ideas

Purchased an audiobook on itunes. It worked well until I got to about chapter 7 of 10. Now it will not play on my device. It will appear on the screen as if it is playing, but no sound comes out whether I am using earbuds or the built in speaker. I don't think it is the media itself because I can locate it in my computer and double click it to play it, and itunes will come up and it will begin to play. Have not tried it on any of my other devices yet.

Same exact problem- a $44 book!

HT4623 i have restored my ipad and now it will not activate......any ideas

I have restored my ipad trying to update to the latest version and now it will not activate....... can anyone suggest any thing

Hi Griff W, Thank you for your response. I had found that article and did everything. I am on my MacBook Pro right now and this device, as well as my phone, smart TV, the Wii and Xbox are all reading our wi-fi connection (and I can see about half dozen neighboring networks). The issue with the iPad is that no list appears to choose from, much less forget and resign in. It worked fine before the update to iOS 5.1.1. I have tried everything I have read and could think about and come up with the "choose a network" with the thinking wheel just spinning and no list ever appears.

On cold boot or restart, MacPro will not start unless CD Tray is open. Any ideas why ?
