One feature in a game on Facebook will not work; I've cleared cache, updated all plug ins (Flash etc). What else might I try apart from the game maker's suggestion that I revert to Firefox 5?

I play Mafia Wars via Facebook. In the game one can 'ask' for gifts, help etc from other members of one's 'family'. These all work for me bar one (recently changed in it's presentation); once names of the people I want to 'send' to have been selected I have two options, I can 'send' or 'skip'. The only option that works now is 'skip'!!
The game makers suggest
1) I clear the cache (already done)
2) I change to Chrome or another browser (I would like to stay with Firefox)
3) I revert to Firefox 5 (I would prefer to remain with the most up to date version).

i'm also having major CPU problems w/ FF 29.0.1. when i restart the app it calms down again but after loading tabs it steadily climbs up to 100% after not too long. i have checked out the 2 CPU links/articles above and do all the basic troubleshooting and tips, but with all the FF tools & add-ons isn't there some sort of CPU monitor that has the ability to display which extensions/scripts are hogging the CPU? Activity Monitor on Mac just shows the total used by the app. it's impossible in my case to efficiently disable dozens of add-ons & scripts, restart, and test each one by one b/c it can take several hrs before the CPU starts to spike high again. i have no time for this.
thanks

    Are you saying that you bought the game from the App store and made another copy onto a dvd so you can play it on another computer too?  If so, you can not do that, you have to buy it again for the other computer.

  • I have an 8 year old eMac G3. It will not start up. I need to erase it before putting it in recycling. Apple refuses to open the case and warns me that I will be shocked if I even try. They say no way to erase hard drive. They say use a hammer. Any ideas?

    PLug it into yrou computer to sync/back it up.
    Is it set to back up to iCloud now?
    Or do you have wifi backup enabled in iTunes?
    Plug it in while on wifi and it will automatically back up.

  • One of my audio books will not play.  My music plays.  And my other audio book plays.  When I try a listen "the singularity is near", It does nothing.  I try and move he cursor to the middle of the track and hit play, but it moves back to the beginning.

    Audiobooks purchased from Audible.com.  They play on iTunes on my computer.  They have been playing on my iPod Classic until two days ago.  I'm in the middle of two books and now one does not keep track of where I am and the other does not play.  I also have other books not playing on the iPod that use to play.  They all play on iTunes on my computer.

    I would try a restore just to see if it could be something software related, but if that doesn't work I would recommend taking to an Apple Store to see if it is a serious hardware issue and if it is, assuming you're in warranty, then they would be able to replace your phone.

    Force iPad into Recovery Mode
    1. Turn off iPad
    2. Connect USB cable to computer; leave the other end alone
    3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
    5. Release the Home button
    6. Open iTune
    7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
    8. Use iTune to restore iPad
    Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times.

  • Library Update Fails, Itunes will not work with new 9.0 update

    I just recently updated the Itunes software.
    Since doing it, when I plug my Ipod 180 gig into my computer, or just try to open Itunes, the Library starts to update
    I can do nothing else and then when it finishes, it fails.
    Itunes closes and I am back to square one.
    WHY?!?!?!
    It was fine before I updated. Everything was running smooth.
    This new update is messed up!!
    What do I need to do to fix this issue??
    Elwood

    OK - to answer my own question, Apple recommend 8.2.1, but you can install 9.1.1 and it will run on a G3. Very slowly. Looks like this is the only option. Get it here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1036. You need OSX 10.4.11 or later though....

  • Adobe flash player will not install. When asked to install missing plug ins, nothing comes up.

    I go to install adobe flash player and nothing comes up. Firefox says I need to install missing plug ins, but when I go to install the missing plug ins, nothing comes up. Says something about doing it manually. I don't know what that is.

    You can download the manual installers and run them to install Flash. Details are shown in the Adobe troubleshooting guide - http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html#main_ManualInstaller

  • Exchange email will not work after IOS 5.1 update. Anyone else having same problem. Its been three days now I cannot get mail.

    Exchange Email not working on Iphone 4S is anyone else having the same problem and is there a fix for this?

    @ w3nitro
    I'm having the same issues, except only one of my Exchange accounts took a dive after upgrading to iOS 5.1.  My Gmail account (set up as Exchange) works flawlessly but my native Exchange account (work e-mail) stopped working after the update.
    Post update to 5.1:  (work Exchange account) I could view my inbox and view individuals emails in the inbox, but I was unable to send any emails.  Mail started asking for my password after the update (for the affected Exchange account) but once entered, it failed to verify.
    I completley removed the Exchange account and rentered all the account settings but again, failure to verify any information.  I was hoping my password might have changed but it did not.  Also, maybe the IT guy at the office (not very bright) changed some settings but the only difference is the new iOS update.
    And while playing with the iPhone trying to make it work again, I noticed something really weird.  Old emails (2-3 weeks) from multiple email accounts to include the inop Exchange account started showing up again on the pull down notification menu.  I would clear these out of the notificaion menu but they always kept reapearing; very strange. 

  • Wifi sync will not work since 5.0.1 update

    since i did the IOS 5.0.1 update, itunes now will not wifi sync on my mac.
    I've restored, ive reinstalled the IPSW manually...ive ticked and unticked sync in the options, ive deleted the backup file and set up as a new phone...
    ive ran out of ideas...
    PS, this seem to only be an issue with macOSx as wifi sync works on a PC with this restore...
    Theres no new software installed and seems to be a mac vs iphone issue as my other half also has the same issue now with the mac.
    Any ideas or is it a trip to the apple geeks?
    thanks in advance

    Same problem here with iPhone 4 and iPad 2.
    Apple have just released iTunes 10.5.1 which I hoped was a fix but no.
    Wired sync still works fine on both devices.
    Ran iTunes diagnostics and the sync test caused iTunes to crash on several with both devices so there obviously seems to be a problem with the software.

  • Facebook will not work on my laptop. it comes up with the toolbar at the top but no information loads up.

    it is only on my laptop as i have tried my work computer and that is fine.

    yeah tried all that. the only thing that i havent tried is to delete itunes completely and restart. its the same with the ipad. i havent done a master reset. i just think it has to be something rather simple as it acknowledges that i have plugged in the ipad as it makes the noise it just come up usb not recognized. it shows up as an unknown device that doestn have  any drivers
    its driving me round the bend at the minute

  • Firefox crashes several minutes after opening every time I use it. I think Firefox was updated shortly before this started. Uninstalling and reinstalling have not helped. Updating all plug-ins has also had no effect. Would appreciate help fixing this.

    Browser starts out working normally but within a few minutes it freezes, stops responing and I have to close it using Task Manager. When I open Task Manager, it shows two Firefox programs running with different icons even though I only opened one window.

    iTunes saves out a new copy of the entire library file every time a change is made to the library. This is not new behavior.
    The slowdowns I have seen like this have ususally been caused by:
    A virus
    or
    Some anti-virus software is incorrectly interpreting the rewriting of the file and is causing a problem.
    Either way, you should definitely update your anti-virus software and definitions to the latest, and run a full scan of your system. If that does not help, you may want to recreate your iTunes library.

  • Yelp is not working properly, and I have been advised to enable cookies and Java Script. I have been trying for 1 hour using suggestions that don't work. Help.

    Someone suggested to go to firefox > options> content > and then there is supposed to be a button that enables Java Script. It is not there. Where did it go, please? The cookies problem I have no idea how to address. Have not gotten past the Java Script problem yet. I have updated Java many, many times in the past couple of months at the suggestion of Avast.
