Pop-up windows no longer working! HELP

Hello,
When I click on a button inside my shopping cart software that would normally bring up a Popup window so that I can select Options or Related products is no longer working.
I tired rebooting, reseting Safari, clear cache, history and all that but nothing works.
So I installed Firefox fully expecting this to solve the problem, but dang, no popup windows. Yes, I disable the block popup windows feature on both browsers, but no luck.
My iMac is only a couple months old and the popups windows where working fine last week and I have not installed any new software that I can think of.
I can use my PC with Interner Explorer an the popup window selection works fine.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mike
San Diego,CA

Thanks. I will give this a try and let you know.
I also tried the other iMac we have here and it has the same problem, however my PC with IE works fine. Very strange. It almost seems like there was a software update recently that broke something.
Just to be clear....I am trying to click on a button inside the "control panel" of my shopping cart software (www.quikstore.com) When you click on this button, a new mini window should pop up so that I can select an option like Small, medium or Large, as an example. This popup worked fine last week.
Thanks,
Mike

Since installing 3.6.9 my Joomla content editor pop-up windows no longer return the URLs selected

I recently upgraded to Firefox 3.6.9 and found that when using the editor in a Joomla 1.0.15 website , the content editor pop-up windows no longer return URLs selected (eg: image or file URL to be used in a link). I have been using the site with no problems for many years, and the problem was cured when I reinstalled 3.6.8

Thanks cor-el but the problem is not in my web development but is a new issue/problem in FireFox which was not present in all versions up to and including version 3.6.8 and was only introduced in version 3.6.9. I have also established that the same problem also exists in FireFox version 4 beta 6 and have therefore also raised a second question today.
My understanding was that I should raise these issues in this forum, but I will also check out the other forum.

FF 3.6.6 :: Address Bar No Longer Works - Help?

After updating Firefox to version 3.6.6 on Windows XP SP 3, the address bar no longer works for navigating to pages. When entering any URL and pressing enter, the page reloads with google.com (which is my homepage in FF). Clicking some bookmarks works. However, navigating from search results in Google does not. I have tried reinstalling. Also, I have tried to start up in Safe Mode. Nothing helps. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

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]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

My 'run with administrative privileges' script no longer works - help

Hey all. I have an applescript that shuts down the computer that I made a while back. I pulled it out today to use it and it no longer works. Here's part of the code I'm having trouble with:
do shell script ¬
"sudo shutdown -h now" password "myadminpassword" with administrator privileges
On old machines this worked great, I would just put the admin password where myadminpassword is and it would work perfectly. Now though, I run it on my machine and I get the prompt to enter my admin username and password before it will shutdown.
Now this is going on a remote install so I need it to work. Any ideas? The machine is running snow leopard, but it seems to still work on an old leopard macbook pro.

Well, for one, do not use sudo in do shell script.
The whole 'with administrator privileges' part takes care of elevating your privileges. sudo has no place in do shell script.
Don't know if that's your issue, but it's the first thing I'd fix.
If that doesn't help, are you running the script as your admin user?
Nowhere in your script are you defining the username to run the command as, therefore it will attempt to run as the current user who may not be the same as your admin user, nor have the same password. You might need to include the username:
do shell script "shutdown -h now" user name "admin" password "myadminpassword" with administrator privileges

IMac sound is no longer working- help?

This morning i turned on my iMac and the sound is no longer working. When i turn on the computer the start up chime in audible, but after that nothing can be heard through itunes, safari, or anything. When i hit the volume keys on my keyboard it shows that the volume is maxed and underneathe there is a circle with a cross through it. I first tried to resolve the problem by going into system preferernces and disconnecting my keyboard from bluetooth and then reconnecting. That didnt work, so i then put my computer to sleep, then restarted it, then shut it down. Still nothing has changed. I followed this up by resetting the SMC and PRAM, but that also has done nothing. Im not entirely sure what to do! If someone could help me out thatd be great. I feel like there should be a simple solution to this problem, but im just missing it!

Reset the SMC and PRAM each at least 2-3 times. I don't know where you got instructions for these resets so please navigate to Intel iMac SMC and PRAM resets for correct instructions just in case.

Rename roll no longer works - help

In iPhoto (6.0.5) I used to be able to change the roll name by simply clicking on the existing name (e.g. roll 243) in the info panel at the bottom left, and then typing in a new name. This no longer works. When I click on the name in the info panel the name is momentarily highlighted, but then dims and will not permit me to rename it. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

bobio:
Run Disk Utility and repair disk permissons. Also make sure you have the Helvetica font enabled for your Mac and account. It's a long shot but worth a try
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application, iPhoto dB file backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Screen no longer works, help getting set up with external LCD?

So my Titanium Macbook Pro's screen went out yesterday and it's no longer covered so I've been trying to figure out how to get it to work with an external LCD monitor.
I can get it to boot up, and I can even get it to open itunes via Spotlight and hit play and hear music, so I know all else is (hopefully) fine.
The monitor I have is an "Acer LCD Monitor AL1916W A" and I have the adaptor going out of my MBP to a VGA cord that then connects to the Acer.
I read this page to get the idea to do this: http://osxdaily.com/2010/12/21/broken-macbook-pro-screen-turn-it-into-a-desktop- mac/
But I cannot get the Acer screen to recognize the MBP and show an image. The Acer powers up and shows it's logo but then says 'no signal'.
I tried to blindly Spotlight > System Preferences > Displays but can't get anywhere from there. I tried to restart it and close the screen but no-go.

After installing 4 add ons and restarting, firefox no longer works - help!

On my PC running Windows 7, I installed these 4 add ons: Measure it, Web Developer, Colorzilla, and Screenshot, restarting Firefox, and only the home page came up, none of my bookmarks were working. I had to manually type in a web address for anything to work. Then that stopped working too. I uninstalled all of the add ons mentioned, and restarted the computer. Now nothing works, only the browser comes up, but with an empty tab, the home page icon does not work either. HELP!

Well, what seemed to work was I uninstalled another add on I had that had to do with gaming and that seemed to do the trick. Wierd.
Thanks anyways.

Migration from 1.6 to Apex 3.1 - Popup windows no longer working

We just moved our application to Apex 3.1 from HTMLDB 1.6. The only thing that is not working since we migrated is the popup window that used to work. Now a window still pops up, but it is the login screen, not the expected window, and even if one logs in at that point, it just takes them back to the main screen, not to the expected popup window. Is there some setting I have to change to make it work as it did before, or does the code go somewhere else now? This is the code:
The URL redirect of a button on the calling page: javascript:callMyPopup('P4_PRI_CONTACT_ID');
The javascript on that same page: <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function callMyPopup (formItem1) {
var formVal1 = document.getElementById(formItem1).value;
var url;
url = 'f?p=&APP_ID.:10:::::P10_CONTACT_ID:' + formVal1 ;
w = open(url,"winLov","Scrollbars=1,resizable=1,width=800,height=600");
if (w.opener == null)
w.opener = self;
w.focus();
</script>

As of v2.0 session IDs were required for f?p URLs. Oracle® HTML DB Release Notes Release 2.0 Part Number B16374-02

HP G62 Laptop fan issue, fan no longer working HELP

Basically i have a HP G60 laptop and cleaned my fan with compressed air and it stopped my laptop overheating etc etc.
HOWEVER my other half has a HP G62 laptop and her fan is LOUD and is on the verge of overheating and shutting itself down.
So i used the compressed air can to clean her fan BUT it completely stopped spinning and now i get the error message saying the fan isnt operating properly and its not advised to continue with normal use.
I can get onto windows. but the compressed air (Which EVERYONE recommends) seems to have completely either broke the fan or blown dust INTO the fan and stopped it.
After many restart attempts it came on breifly making this ticking noise as if the blades were hitting something as it spun (which was slow might i add).
MAYBE the bios has detected the fan was blocked and stopped attempting to spin??? i dont know i need help or advice before i dismantle it to try and clean the fan manually.
which i KNOW is quite fiddly for an amatuer. fans should be the easiest thing to get to not the hardest but oh well...
HELP PLEASE
This question was solved.
View Solution.

just to let you know i have fixed it, the fan seemed completely broken with no movement and its cos i spun it too fast with the compressed air or blew the clumps of dust and lint back into the fan and clogged it. either way i just got it working by taking a womens hair pin and poking it through the slot carefully and turning the blades, it got a bit difficult like there was something stopping it, but after i pushed past that point i spun it with the clip a few more times then it fired up no problems when i powered on.
thanks anyway your advice was spot on!

Windows no longer working

I've been trying to figure out what's wrong with my Windows for a bit now. It reported a corrupt file in my external hard drive (some file for a video game. It often occurs when Windows decides it doesn't want to be connected properly to the external). I went to use command prompt, which I've used before (Windows prevented me from deleting a file by using the argument that it didn't exist enough to be deleted) and the chkdsk command. If I recall it correctly checked the main disc (not the external because I forgot to specify that) and when I went to check the disc AND delete or repair the corrupted file(s) I received and error. After restarting Windows I found that I get the error every time I log into the computer (it has a number like 0.5000x in it or something). My computer goes to the desktop but there is no icons, no start menu, nothing. Just the desktop.
So if any is unfortunate enough to have had this same Windows error then please give me information on how to solve it.
If not, I was already planning on just reinstalling everything that is connected to Windows (the odds of having the same Windows error seem so small these days). I did not install my Windows in the first place so I don't know the order of things. I think, correct me wherever I am wrong, Boot Camp is installed on Mac, then Boot Camp creates a partition for Windows, and finally Windows is installed on the partition.
I looked in the help sections already but it says that to upgrade Boot Camp to the newer versions (I actually have the BETA version of Boot Camp, something I didn't realize) I have to do install it on the Windows side and have Leopard installed.
Basically, I am all confused about how to reinstall both Boot Camp and Windows on my computer. I will shortly be getting Leopard hopefully so if that's a requirement don't worry. I need the order of what needs to be installed and deleted and the sides of the computer (Mac or Windows) that things need to be done on.

Last time I stuck the Windows disc into the computer and started with it, I didn't press a button in time (it says 'press any button to boot from disc' in top left corner but it goes away really fast and I apparently wasn't watching for it). I managed to get through the steps on the page you linked to and I repaired my Windows. NOW it gets some error about not enough memory existing for something about API. It then proceeds to restart the computer, get the error again, restart the computer, get the error...
If it weren't so annoying I'd say the infinite startup would be cool. I think the easiest way to fix my problem is to uninstall Windows and then reinstall it. If that actually would be guaranteed to solve the problem, them please tell me:
1. How to uninstall Windows (I assume that the cd key can then be reused)
2. How to install Windows
3. Remind me that I need to do something or other with boot camp by sticking the Leopard cd into Windows (I am pretty sure that's what the help here said).

New ISP, Time Capsule No Longer Works - help!

OK, today, I changed ISP with a new router.
Everything was going OK, all iOS devices, all wi-fi printers, Apple TV, and Airport Express all connected and worked fine. The only issue is my Time Capsule. I just can't get it to work.
It was setup to 'Join An Existing Wi-fi Network' and everything used to be fine with my TM backups going to it.
Now, Airport Utility (6.2) won't see it at all over wi-fi, and if I connect to the router via ethernet, AU sees it. I tried to change the configuration, but there is no 'Connect to an Existing Wi-fi network' available, just 'create new' or 'extend existing'.
Even if I try either of these options, it doesn't work. After a couple of minutes, I get a 'an error occurred when trying to update the configuration' message.
I have tried holding in the reset button, but to no avail.
Can anyone help? I'm on 10.8, by the way.

Join a wireless network is not in v6 utility.. thanks so much apple.. you are a great help.
Mind you .. we do not recommend at any time using "join a wireless network".. it is slow and likely to cause issues at some point with corrupting the backup.
The best idea is to install v5.6 utility on your Mac.. this can be done.. google for various methods.. here is mine which is free.. others use a tool you have to pay for.
How to load 5.6 into ML.
1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
2. Download and install unpkg.
http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Run unpkg on the desktop.. it is very simple.. drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. drill down.. applications utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
You cannot uninstall 6.1 (now 6.2 if you updated) so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. so just ignore the toyland version.. the plastic hammer.. and start using 5.6.. a real tool.
For screen shots see this post.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4668746?tstart=0
If you want to do the job correctly though.. start from a factory reset.
To do this hold in reset button and then power on.. keep holding in reset without releasing for about 10sec until the front led flashes rapidly.
Do all setups using ethernet. I recommend you bridge the TC and use roaming setup for wireless. It works very well.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4260
Even if you mix with a non-apple router, you simply create a wireless network on the TC.
Exactly the same name (SSID) as the main router .. same security WPA2 Personal = WPA2 AES and is the only suitable security nowadays.
Same password for wireless. 8-12 characters is enough .. up to 20 if paranoid. pure alphanumeric.
The only thing different is wireless channels. Set them both to auto may work or maybe chaos.
At 2.4ghz there are only three non-overlapping channels.. make sure the main router is set to 20mhz only.. and use one of the channels, 1, 6, 11. Then set the TC to one remaining.
5ghz in the TC use lower channels.. 36, 38, 40 etc work much better than 150's
So in your real utility it looks like this.

HT4897 I have forgotten my original MobileMe account password and the email address that I used to use to retrieve my password no longer works - help!

I have just upgraded to mountain lion and want to use the icloud. However, years ago I set up a mobile me account and can not remember my password. The email account I set up originally as a default email no longer exists so when I try and set up a new password I am unable to because I can't access the email address I put on file. Can anybody help?

Are you particularly attached to your ex-MobileMe email address? - it sounds as if you haven't actually used it for very long time. Your easiest option would be to use the ID you have logged in with here to open an iCloud account and choose a new @icloud.com address.
If you really want to reactivate the MobileMe email address (which is also the ID for that account) you will need to contact Support. Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; select 'All Products and Services' in the first column, 'More Products and Services' in the second column, then 'Apple ID' in the third column. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' in the first column then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password' and click 'Continue'. You will be offered options to contact Apple by phone.

The iTune Dock pop-up notification no longer works since last software update.

Previously i was using the pop-up iTunes notification, enabled by entering"defaults write com.apple.dock itunes-notifications -bool TRUE;killall Dock' into Terminal to activate it once only.
Since installing the last OS software update every time i change songs in iTunes, instead of popping up and saying what song is now playing as it used to, the whole dock dissapears and reappears when i change songs instead of the pop-up appearing.
How can i fix this?

Open System Preferences > Printers & Scanners > Print
If you see the HP PSC printer, select that then click - (minus)
Then download and install the driverrs for your printer model and v10.9 here > Software & driver downloads HP PSC 2350 All-in-One Printer | HP® Support
Then go back to System Preferences > Printers & Scanners > Print then click + to add the printer.
If that doesn't help, follow the instructions for Resetting the printing system

Super Drive no longer working- Help required

My new MPB's optical drive has stopped working.
I was mid way through a burn when it started making some unusual noises and eventually the burn failed and ejected the blank DVD.
I have had this computer for no more than 3 months and used the drive itself no more that 15 times.
Since the burn failure the drive will no longer recognize any CD or DVD I insert into the drive.
Any advise will be most appreciated.
Thank you
