They don't tell how this happens, or how to avoid it....
Hmmm.

  • 10.7.2 released, don't let your head be stuck in the cloud

    Rule number one through infinity when installing anything new,
    BACKUP YOUR DATA AT LEAST TWICE BEFORE
    And an added safety precaution, shut down, and disconnect all but Apple keyboard, mouse, and any display that was connected.
    And if you really want to, for good measure make sure everything is either known to be compatible, or needs the update to run smoothly.
    If unsure, please don't hesitate to ask in the forum.  And remember, software doesn't kill hardware.  Hardware may be marginal, and updates tend to highlight that when it happens, but it doesn't mean the software caused the hardware to fail.

    Thanks a brody 
    I'm waiting until tonight. I sarted the update and it said completion in 7 hours!  I'll wait my turn.

  • FireFox says it can not establish conncetion, I have done everything on your site I have even uninstalled it. I am able to use internet explorer. There is nothing wrong with my network

    For the past few days I have tried to get onto mozilla and I can't. It says to check network, nothing is wrong with my network. I am able to use internet explorer. I have tried uninstalling it adn i have tried everything on your website. I dont' think mozilla is too busy and I keep checking the firewall

  • How to make your site DIFFERENT...

    Some have auto-playing movies, or songs...
    Some have "comment" sections...
    Some have no menus...
    What have you done to make your site different?
    What have you done to make your site eyecatching?
    How is this accomplished?
    Many of us are finding that we have already pushed iWeb to it's apparent limits, and we need more ideas!

    Thanks all for the kind words.
    Linda, as far as the images go I edited them in Photoshop.
    I saved them as jpegs using the quality slider set at 8
    (never less for quality reasons).
    The actual image "dimensions" in general are 280pixels x 421pixels
    depending on orientation and 72 ppi in image "resolution" .
    I think if you keep images no larger then 450pixels for general viewing
    they should load fine.
    The images that are the Page Headers are however W700xH400 which is the size of the default place holders in the templates, or 700x120 for the narrow ones.
    I hope this isn't getting too technical, I've even considered doing QuickTime tutorials.
    Derekbalsey: I'd say use the shapes and do things like adding strokes to a shape and use white or no fill or a complimenting color to fill it.
    I will be updating the site tonight, nothing major, just slight changes to the page headers and adding some photos until I get some more "pro" looking ones I hope.
    We'll see ho fast those load as they will be larger.
    My goal is to use simple shapes and good colors, as i don't really know how to create animations and the likes.

    completely frustrated w/your site. wasted hour this morning until your sited crashed and the last 20 minutes trying to find out how to send you a simple e-mail !!!!!!!!! Let me know when you get your act together.

    So how does a site crash? is it Firefox crashing?

  • I just updated to Firefox 4 and my Roboform toolbar disappeared. Following the instructions on your site and Roboform's site did not help. It doesn't appear in the Customize Toolbar window nor in the Extensions list. How can I get it back?

    Here's an interesting bit: iTunes will let me restore my iPod touch from backup: it's still running iOS 4.3.3. I figured as much... there's backups showing in the Preferences -> Devices list for both devices (and even my old, long gone iPod touch 2G), but my iPhone (on iOS5) isn't giving me any such option. I remember I had to downgrade before to get the backup restored (something went haywire in the setup assistant, and I couldn't restore a backup from iTunes there)... If it was possible to go to iOS 5.0 rather than 5.0.1 I would just do the same thing again, but iOS 5.0.1 isn't an option. I attached a screenshot. Hopefully Apple can get this nonsense sorted out; I think iOS 5 might be the root of this, somehow.

  • I was referred to this site because Internet Explorer would not allow me to navigate to web page. Therefore the tech-support staff sugested I try your site to get to the web page

    upon logging into this program open road x3 from the site realeflow.com. I get a msg "navigation to web page has been canceled" so I contacted the tech-support staff. They informed me that in the past this problem has occurred with internet explorer, so they referred your site to me, as a option to get into the web page from their site. I have never used your site to get into a web page before. So I do not exactly know how this works??????????

    In Firefox 3.6.4 and later the default connection settings have been changed to "Use the system proxy settings".
    See "Firefox connection settings" in [[Server not found]]
    You can find the connection setting here: Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection
    If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select No Proxy
    Another possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that,.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.

  • I had spilled soda on Mac keyboard the other day. Dried it as best I could , took battery out Nd hard drive. I let it sit for a little bit and turned it back on and I get a beeping sound. What do I need to do?

    That isn't good.  The RAM is probably damaged, hopefully not the RAM slots.  This article explains why.
    Never leave food nor drink near your computer again.

  • HI,  I need to jre 1.6 update 26 on my mac system to make some aaplication work. However latest available is jre 1.6 update 29. Could you suggest how I can get jre 1.6 update 26? I tried downloading older version on java. COuldn't find it on your site.

    HI,  I need to jre 1.6 update 26 on my mac system to make some aaplication work. However latest available is jre 1.6 update 29. Could you suggest how I can get jre 1.6 update 26? I tried downloading older version on java. COuldn't find it on your site.

    What are you missing?
    I inherited this app and signing the third party jars is how it was setup, I was wondering the same thing too, why was it necessary to sign the third party jars?
    The applet runs in either JRE 1.6.0_13 or JRE 1.6.0_27 depending on the other Java apps the user uses. JRE 1.6.0_13 does not have the mixed code security (so it is like is disable), but JRE 1.6.0_27 does have the mixed code security and the applet will not launch with mixed code security enable, so we have to disable it. With all the hacking going on in the last two years, is important to improve security; so this is a must.
    Yes, I always clear up the cache.
    Any idea on how to resolve this problem?

  • I downloaded to the latest Firefox yesterday 5-5-2011 & everything was screwed up. Uninstalled Firefox now how do I get it back, not the latest version? Been to your site & it will not download. Thanks Pat

    Can't think of anything else to add, just want to download Firefox. The older nor newer versions will not load, I click where it says if downloading does not start, just stays at 0%.

    See;

    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_backup
    Did you check your security software (firewall)?
    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.

  • How to remove "Get started with your site"

    Hello,
    I am in the process of automating the creation of a site collection using PowerShell. Everything works fine but I would like to remove or hide the "Get started with your site" that we see the first time we open a site. Deactivating the Getting
    started feature will not remove it.

    For other readers, here's the full script needed:
    # First, get a reference to the target web app:
    $web = Get-SPWeb "[TargetSiteURL]"
    # Assuming that 1) the web page file that you want to examine is
    # the default landing page and 2) Publishing has been activated
    # for the containing site collection, the following gets you a
    # reference to the web part manager:
    $wpm = $web.GetLimitedWebPartManage("pages/default.aspx", [System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.PersonalizationScope]::Shared).WebParts
    # Note the "pages" in the path. Next, the following lists out
    # all web parts on this page:
    $web.GetLimitedWebPartManager("pages/default.aspx",[System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.PersonalizationScope]::Shared).WebParts
    # Review this list, and then identify the PartOrder of the web
    # part you want to remove. It its, say, its "5", you get a
    # reference to web part like so:
    $wp = $wpm.WebParts[5]
    # Now delete the web part:
    $wp.DeleteWebPart
    # and close the web app reference:
    $web.Close()
    It's easier to remove the web part directly from the page, while it's in edit mode, but then the scripted method also works when automation is needed.

  • Is it possible to turn off the fluid grid function in dreamweaver during the process of building your site by mistake? It was working fine and simply stopped and I don't see how to correct what is wrong.

    Is it possible to turn off the fluid grid function in dreamweaver during the process of building your site by mistake? It was working fine and simply stopped and I don't see how to correct what is wrong.

    There is no specific function that turns FGL on or off.
    When you say that it has stopped, do you mean that the handles no longer show?
    If that is the case, then I think you may have modified the CSS to such an extent that Dreamweaver no longer recognises it as belonging to FGL.
    There are a couple of avenues for you
    Redo the site and make sure not to touch the FGL CSS
    paste the code here so that we can see what has gone wrong.
