Popup error window that disappears in an instant on OSX Lion
Every once in a while, I get a small error window that pops up in the middle of my screen. It comes on and disappears too fast to read, but it disrupts full screen and general browsing.
It started happening after I installed Lion 10.7.1 to my MBP.
I'm on Firefox 6.0.2
It's an obscure issue, I know, but it's a hassle. Has anyone else experienced this?
So far, you're the only one that has replied. I just run it by hand.
I just hate to lose my iTunes library further down the line because of something like this. I can't take rating and making all of those playlists again.

Yesterday, since I downloaded the latest version 3.6.6, every time firefox opens and when I click on something, I get multiple error windows that say "ERROR: Security Manager Vetoed Action". I can't hardly use if anymore because of all the window pop-ups. What can I do? Can I go back to an older version?

== I downloaded version 3.6.6 yesterdayhello, when this is happening after you've already updated firefox with your admin account, try to delete the ''updates'' folder and ''active-update.xml & updates.xml'' within the %localappdata% folder of your restricted account like it is described in http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update#Software_Update_not_working_properly

I have been trying to burn newly purchased (as well as last year purchases) ITunes to a disc. I had burned some of these songs to a disc last year and all went well. Now I have been getting this popup telling me that the AppleSync Notifier has stoped working & the corefoundation.dll needs to be re-installed. Also that Windows will try to fix the problem. Every time I try to burn the disc, the computer sends the disc back out and the screen tells me to put in a blank recordable disc. I have tried 4 different new discs now and the same thing happens.
I am running Windows Vista.
Have been to the Roxio web site for help as well as Apple.
Have tried many "fixes" such as: updating latest version of Direct X from the Microsoft website; Disabling startup items; going to local disc C and into the Apple/Apple Appplication support and right-clicking on the SQLite3.dll and moving it tomobile support device window. Nothing has worked. What can I do to get some music recorder? Should I buy a new cassette deck and record onto tape like I did 20 years ago? This is a very important disc I am making as a gift & I need to get it done by this weekend. Is there anyone that can offer good advice?love paying a lot of money for something that doesn't work right, thanks apple

Installing CS5.5, got an error window that says "windows cannot open this file"
I download the CS5.5 files. Clicked on the larger file to open it and received an error window stating that "windows cannot open this file". Any suggestions?
@caroline,
are both files in the same directory?
are you clicking the exe, not the 7z?
if yes to both, right click the exe and click 'run as administrator'.
if that fails, run the cleaner (Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6) and then click the exe. -
Why the Error Window that Will Not Leave?
I keep getting an error window, usually it occurs whenever I turn on my printer, & sometimes when I turn it off. This window, despite having an "OK" button, never leaves the screen, necessitating my having to move it around, as it gets in the way. It will only leave when I reboot my computer.
The ironic thing is, there is NOTHING WRONG with my printer, the connection, or the function of my printer! The only thing wrong is this rather LARGE, and uninvited error window!
The exact wording is:
Failed to connect to the device
-Check the I/F cable connection between the device & your computer.
-Please turn OFF the device once, and then turn ON the device
Then try again.
(MTW005)
and then there's an "OK" button

Look for a "TwainBridge" driver in Activity Monitor, then kill it/force quit it.
Maybe try reinstalling it...

How can I fix a Window that disappears Off Screen
Hi,
I'm running a new installation of MAX/msp and the output window does not appear on my monitor. When I use exspose the window comes in to view but when I click on it it disappears off screen to the left, therefore I can't grab it with my mouse.
I think the problem stems from when I was using dual monitors, one of which burned out so I am now only using one.
So far I've deleted all the MAX/msp preferences that I can find.
I've looked in System Preferences - Displays - This shows that my mac only expects to see my single monitor.
I remember in OS9 there was a key command to allow you to move windows without the use of a mouse - If there's one for OSx it would probably solve my problem but I can't find it.
I'm using a G4 dual 867 OSX 10.4.7 with a SyncMaster920n monitor
Any help appreciated

Firefox 4 has an error window that pops up asking to "uninstal set". Any suggestions?
The window pops up with the title JavaScript Application and asks to "uninstal set". (note spelling error) How can this window be suppressed?
No guarantees this will fix your problem, but I too just experienced the same thing.
Try this: while running firefox4, open your "tools" menu and go to "add-ons" and
open it up. Check the version of Java you're using. If you are not using v6.0.24
upgrade to that version. After you've upgraded, open your "add-ons" menu
again and delete any of the previous versions listed.
One other thing, my problem cropped up after installing the Yahoo tool bar...
Don't know if this was part of the problem or not, but I uninstalled it, and did the
Java upgrade, then deleted the previous two versions in my add-ons and the
problem went away.
I hope this helps, and good luck! -
Can any one help me with this problem??
Hi garryw,
What version of Reader are you using, and are you on Mac OS or Windows? Do you get the same error when you try to print other PDF files, or is the problem specific to one PDF?
For starters, please try the solutions listed in this thread: Re: There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat /Reader. If it is running ,please exit and try again.(0:104)
Let us know how it goes.
Best,

Error window that (annoyingly) keeps popping up
I have no idea where this comes from or how to stop it.
But regularly this shows up in the middle of my screen, especially during iPhoto and now Aperture and Rapidweaver use. I don't have a G4 anymore, haven't in a year - and I just want this to stop.
This morning I was adding a photo album page in Rapidweaver, the error message popped up and froze my app.
Connection failed
The server "bz's G4" may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again."
Your help is greatly appreciated.
BohdanChoose Force Quit from the Apple menu, close Safari, and then launch it with the Shift key held down. If that doesn't work, temporarily disconnect the computer from the Internet.

I'm running Mac OS 10.6
I also have the same issue with McAfee SiteAdvisor and FF4 on a MacBook Pro running the latest version of Snow Leopard. I have put in a service request with McAfee and will update this post in approx 48 hours unless they respond sooner. Seems like a far to common app to somehow have "missed" testing on a browser release that was scheduled for a while.

Since I upgraded to firefox 8, I get this error window that pops up says something about java. My tabs flicker or flash, the tabs will close and open in a new window then everything stops. Then firefox does not respond. When I get this error message, I have to close all tabs wait a few seconds then open it back up it will work for a little while and then do the same thing. I have disabled plug-ins that I do not use, I have cleared my cache and cookies, I am not happy at all with this new version. I waited a while before updating. The first time I was going to update, firefox would not let me keep my anti-virus plug-in. PLEASE HELP
Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.
