One day everything was fine with Firefox 7.0.1...next day it crashed and although I've managed to re-install successfully, I can no longer enable add-ons, extensions or personas. Any suggestions as to what I can do?
With any kind of add-on, extension or persona enabled, Firefox crashes on start up...I just get the crash-report dialogue coming up. I then have to restart in Safe Mode and disable all add-ons to continue running Firefox.
Pity, because I've never before had a problem with Firefox and consider it the best browser, but I'd like to be able to get my Nectar search bar and AVG search bar back as well as my favourite persona.

I got this message when I just finished my online ordering. "We're Sorry. Something went wrong with your request. Please try again later." and I didn't get confirmation email yet but I've been charged from my credit card already. Any suggestion please?
I am having the same issue. When I try to update my payment information I receive an error that states, "We're sorry, something seems to be wrong on our end. Please try again later.
After Adobe's servers were breached I received a phonecall from my bank, stating that someone had used my credit card at a hotel in Mexico (I live in Ohio). I closed that credit card and was issued a new card. I want to update my card information on my Creative Cloud subscription. I chatted via the web with a customer service rep today. He was anable to help me. He suggested I call the Care Center. The hold was estimated at 2 hours. All I want to do is update my card information so the next time Adobe automatically bills for my subscription the transaction doesn't bounce. -
I use my 6th generation Ipod strictly for Audible downloads. In the past, I have been able to move titles back and forth from the Ipod and my Itunes library, to control the amount books on the ipod. Recently, an exclamation mark has appeared next to the titles as I try to transfer to the ipod, and the book does not transfer. Any suggestions on how to regain access to my purchased library?
1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
How much free space on it now? -
I just bought an HP deskjet 3510 printr and I can't install it. It tells me I have to have MAC OX S version 6. How can I upgrade to this version?
Found a way to utilize the HP Deskjet 3510 with the MacBook OSX 10.5.8!
As you may know, there is NO existing HP printer driver useable between this printer and the OSX10.5.8 (you need OSX 10.6 or higher) However, it IS possible to use the printer and even print from it - however, it is a bit complicated. Read the PROS vs. CONS and see if you want to proceed OR...if you can, return it and get your money back. Unfortunately for me I didn't have this option - if I returned it, I will lose 55% of what I paid for return shipping and restocking! .
PROS: You can print documents, photos, files, etc.
CONS: You can't print it directly as you would a normal printer. It will not work either with USB or via wireless. It must be sent as a document via e-mail (more explained later!)
PROS: Copy/Scan-To-Print function works without needing a driver installed.
CONS: Scan-To-Computer function will not work because there is no driver compatible.
PROS: Documents sent to you via email (on a personalized HP email address) will be printed out automatically when received. You don't even have to be there to receive the email!
CONS: It WILL print automatically. You can turn off this function but you will have to remember to turn it on everytime you need to print.
OKAY. Here it goes. This model of HP Printer (Deskjet 3510) has a function called ePrint (you can find more info at http://www.hp.com/global/us/en/eprint/). Basically it is a wireless function on the printer that as long as you have Wifi at your home or business, you can connect this printer virtually. This ePrint works with any computing devises, including MacBooks, Mac Desktops, iPhone, iPad, and iPad Mini - it will NOT work with iPods or any devise that does not have internet/wifi capability.
This is what you need to do: Set up the Deskjet 3510 as if you would any other printer. That means, remove it from the box, unpack it, plug it in, follow instructions on the mini-screen (for date, language, etc), install cartridge, print test sheets, scan test sheet, etc. Make sure that the machine actually works!
Then comes the tricky part: You will notice three buttons on the bottom. Left one is the Power Button. Right side has two buttons: first is the Wifi button, second is the ePrint button. Before ePrint can be set up, you need to set up the printer for Wifi.
CLICK on the Wifi Button (a flashing blue light) and look on the bottm left. There is a menu section with 'Settings" - CLICK the button left of that menu (above the power button) you will see the wireless menu. Make sure the Wireless is "On" and Wireless Direct also "On". Use the arrows on the right of the screen to go up and down the menu, "OK" button to select it.
At that same menu, scroll down to "Print Report" and click "OK". Select the second option "Configuration Page" and print out the page. If everything went smoothly with the Wifi connection, you will be able to see information. Look for the URL(s) for Embedded Web Server on the page, either on the top by the General Information or under Wireless Direct. You need the Server address for the next step. Mine looked like this:
http://192.168.223.1 (last four digits of yours may differ)
Go up to your Airport Wifi menu and look for something like "HP-Print-44-Deskjet 3510 series". Select that from the Wifi menu (from this point, you will NOT be on the internet). Once you see the Wifi signal pop in, on the address bar of your web browser, type in your Server address in the address bar (http://192.168....).
Then you will see a web page of inner workings of your computer. It's quite amazing actually!
Look for a section that shows Wireless Setup Wizard and follow to make sure you're set up to your network and connected to the internet. Choose your wireless network name, put the password in. It should connect to your network. Do the same for the ePrint section.
Switch back to your Wifi network (via Airport so you would have internet access), go to https://h30495.www3.hp.com/c/46324/US/en/ to set up your printer with HP for ePrint. This is where you get that private email address at HP (you can personalize it as well) so that any device that can email you can send documents, photos and files to be printed directly.
SO the trick to printing with a MacBook OSX 10.5.8 with the HP Deskjet 3510 is this: Once you set up your private email address (let's say it's [email protected]) you can send attachments via email as if you were writing yourself (both the email AND the attachment will print!) or when you are about to print a file or a photo, select from the Print menu, the PDF section where you have an option to Mail PDF. It will connect with Mail Program, send it to [email protected] (or whatever your private email name is : **********@hpeprint.com) and it will print the file without printing an email header.
PRINTING NOTE: If you are printing a photo, you can set your presets to Photo print so that it will come out nice. If you happened to be by your computer during the printout, you can install the photo paper (flush it to the right side) or else it will just print on normal paper.
NOTE:If at any step the printer won't recognize the Wifi connection or ePrint, turn off the printer, count 30 seconds and restart it. Mine worked fine after that!
Whew~! Hope this was clear and was helpful! Best wishes! -

My partner has deleted everything from my phone and returned it to factory settings accidenly. Our old computer crashed and we have been trying to get all the stuff from our phones onto the new laptop. He managed to sync his phone but then he done mine and it deleted it all. Someone help please x
On iTunes on the computer, go to:
Edit, Preferences, Devices and see if there is a backup listed for your iphone.
If so, restore it from that backup. -
I have been using Firefox for a long time. I installed ESR 17 recently. Since then I can't open DOCX files in my e-mail (optonline.net). It comes up as "eFax Messanger files". It obviously does not reconginze the file extension because whe i try to open it using Word it reads it as if it was a text file. If I use IE I have no problem opening the same attachment in my e-mail. I know atleast two other people who have the same problem.

i am getting the following message "safari could not download the file (440 MB) because there is not enough disk space. please delete files or download to another disk." when i check system information it tells me i have 249.82 GB of disk space available. any suggestions as to what i can do to resolve this problem.

thanks for your suggestion. that is the same advice that i got from the geek squad at the local apple store.
i did what he instructed but it did not work. i have since called apple support twice regarding the problem. they had me start the computer in safe mode, going into the library and deleting a phlist file (i think) do a repair disk permissions, do a repair disk, empty the cache, and finally the last guy told me to unplug the computer from the wall socket and restart.
when i mentioned the advice you and the apple store guy gave me they sort of poo pooed it saying that was done when they did all this other stuff.
i am now waiting for the download to be completed to see if unplugging the computer had any effect.
thanks again for your kindness in answering my concern. -
When printing envelopes, I have a logo next to my name on the return address. I would like to remove the logo but I cannot figure out how. Any suggestions?
Hi Shayes,
You can change the default download location by going to ''Tools > Options > General''. The [[Options window - General panel]] has some extra information on all of the options available.
Hopefully this helps! -
hello
The problem appeared two days ago is that I can't open my mail app. everything was fine and functional. Now I double click on the icon and it does not respond. it receives mail and I can see push notifications on the mail icon but when I try to open it is no use. OS Y 10.10.2 (14C1514)Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder—not just its contents—to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Restart the computer. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. Any custom stationery that you created may be lost. Ask for instructions if you want to preserve that data. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window.
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return. -

You should remove his AppleID and restore it as new. -
