Since the last upgrade two days ago, my scripting seems to be wonky on certain sites - Facebook, eBay, esp.

There are a lot of sites that just won't load since the last upgrade. I have tried to re-install Flash from both Adobe and RealPlayer, but get told that :
"Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because one of the following protocols (apt) isn't associated with any program or is not allowed in this context."
I can't download Flash, I can't reach major sites... what's happening? I have cleared my cache, it's not that. It's something weird that the last upgrade of FF has done.
Please fix it quickly?? Thank you.

Do Facebook, eBay, etc., give you a specific error message? That may lead to more specific suggestions.
Adobe and Real should not be using apt:// URLs with Windows systems. That is very odd.
Could you check your connection setting in the Options dialog:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > Network mini-tab > "Settings" button
The default setting of "Use system proxy settings" should piggyback on the IE/Windows "LAN" settings but you also could try "No proxy" to see whether that works any better.
Are you able to download a full installer for Firefox? If so, try this Clean Reinstall procedure to bypass any confused/conflicting files in Firefox's program folder:
(1) Download a full installer for Firefox 32 from https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ to a convenient location. (Scroll down to your preferred language.)
(2) Exit out of Firefox (if applicable). Do not uninstall Firefox.
(3) Rename the Mozilla Firefox program folder
''64-bit Windows:''
C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
to
C:\Program Files (x86)\OldFirefox
''32-bit Windows:''
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
to
C:\Program Files\OldFirefox
(4) Run the installer you downloaded in #1. It should automatically connect to your existing settings.
Does Firefox behave more normally?
Note: Some plugins may exist only in that OldFirefox folder. If something essential is missing, look in these folders:
* OldFirefox\Plugins
* OldFirefox\browser\plugins

  • With the last update two days ago, when you load firefox the top half of the screen is burred and the middle is an black box....why, how can this be fixed

    I started firefox and it said it was downloading update. After the download the screen came back with the top half blurred and an open black box in the middle. What happen? Is there a fix?

    This could be caused by an incompatibility between Firefox 33 and your graphics card/chipset drivers. Please disable hardware acceleration as a temporary workaround. Step-by-step directions in this thread: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1025438
    Does that work?

  • Can not connect the iTunes Store, since the last update 2 weeks ago, iOS 6.1.2 has stopped working, help me, please ....

    can not connect the iTunes Store, since the last update 2 weeks ago, iOS 6.1.2 has stopped working, help me, please ....

    Ok, I am having literally identical issues with Marathon Max.
    I try to connect, and it says, "Itunes could not connect to the itunes store, Make sure your network connection is active and try again." I have contacted my ISP, and they ran a full check, and sayed I should be able to connect to pretty much all websites. I did the whole "ipconfig" thing and that was no help. I also tried the "msconfig" thing, and it sayed it did not recognize it as any kind of command, internal or external command or operable program or batch file. Whats strange is I can connect from another computer just fine, but when offered to upgrade itunes I declined for fear of the same thing happpening. I am tempted to just upgrade it and thus demonstrate that itunes has a flaw in their upgrade. I will save this computers diagnostics, and the other one's too, before and after the upgrade. I look forward to sending more feedback regarding this matter

  • Having trouble with firefox since the last upgrade

    Since the last upgrade to firefox on the 17th jan it will open up an initial tab but wont open any subsequent tabs. if I click on a link or one of my favourites it just seems to sit there going round and round and not connecting. I have never had any sort of problem with firefox before and don't want to uninstall and reinstall in case I lose all of my favourites. Can any one help?

    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
    '''If Firefox is open,''' you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
    * Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    '''If Firefox is not running,''' you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".
    ;[[Image:SafeMode-Fx35]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

  • I,m having trouble printing jewel cases since the last upgrade. The song titles all bunch up together and are unreadable.

    I'm having trouble printing jewel cases since the last upgrade. The song titles all bunch up together and are unreadable. Can you help?

    I can’t figure out how to import music.
    Import it into iTunes first, then use the media browser in iMovie '08 to locate it.

    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.

  • I cannot access Facebook on my iPad since the last upgrade

    I cannot access Facebook on my iPad since the last upgrade - I have turned the iPad off, recharged it and still brings up an old page every time.

    Private Browsing can be found in the lower left hand side in Safari. It just says "Private". I'm not sure what to tell you about the mail issue. You might
    Try a Restart. 
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
     Resetting your settings
    You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
    Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple. 
    Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

  • Since the last upgrade, aol email does not download unless I touch the e-mail icon

    Since upgrading to 7.1.1 my email does not download unless I touch the e-mail icon.  This affects both the I-pad and the I-phone 5s

    I did the update on my iPad, but not on my phone and my AOL email hasn't been pushing to my phone or my iPad for the last couple of days. This started happening prior to me upgrading.  I hoped that it would at least help my iPad, but it hasn't.  Everything was fine until late Thurs or early Friday....May 1-May 2.  I called AOL yesterday, and they said that they would have upper level techs see if they can find out if it's a server problem, etc or anything else on their end, and get back to me.  Probably won't hear from them until Monday, at the earliest.  It happened very suddenly with my "push" nolonger working for me on both devices.

  • Ever since the last upgrade, when I tap a cell to highlight it or add text a box pops up with text from other cells. How do I disable this feature?

    How can I disable a pop up box that appears whenever I tap a cell in numbers for ios? This annoying feature accompanied the last upgrade. When I tap a cell to highlight it, a box pops up with all the words typed in the adjacent cells so I can populate the cell with one of them, but I neither need nor want the suggestions.

    Hi debdor,
    I don't know where to find the setting in Numbers for iOS, but in Numbers for Mac OS X it is under Menu > Numbers > Preferences > General > Editing.
    Show suggestions when editing table cells.
    As you can see, I don't use it.
    Regards,
    Ian.

  • Iphoto is not as user friendly since the lasted upgrade

    I have had trouble with I photo. I have a Macbook Pro. Since the newest upgrade on iPhoto I do not have access to my full range of pictures and do not know how to access them.

    Photos is not really a new version of iPhoto. It's a separate application.
    You should still have iPhoto on your Mac.
    Your iPhoto library should still be there in your Pictures Folder as well.

  • Since the last upgrade, FF no longer runs on my laptop! I get the crash report box but it never restarts upon pressing that option. I can't try the safe mode or the other self-help options because no FF browser window opens.

    FF worked fine before I accepted the latest update just a few days ago. My friend who lives far away said that she also has problems since the upgrade. When I click on the thumbnail to open FF no window opens, all I see is the crash report. Without the window I can't try the self-helps or give a crash ID (from what I understand from reading the options). None of the options in the crash report restore the browser. When I click on one, the box just pops right back up.
    Other than general slowness of my system and some possible hacking which got someone into my paypal account this week, I've had no other computer issues. (I've changed my email address with PP & changed my email passwords in case someone is accessing my machine through my email...I'm not very computer literate...I don't believe this can happen, yet no other options were presented).
    Because my friend also experienced this crash issue I think this is totally related to the upgrade & what ever it did to my computer such that FF no longer loads.
    Please give me steps to fix this issue without FF running--all the self-help techniques seem to assume that I can run FF, get a browser window, utilize the links therein. I can't get a window open at all!

    YAY!! I have Safe mode!!
    um, now what?

  • I'm getting a prompt that my Itunes is either not installed correctly or corrupted which is confusing because I just upgraded two days ago.

    I'm getting the message that my Itunes is either corrupt or not installed properly.  I tried to reinstall without unstalling, but that did not work.  I supposed my biggest fear is that if I uninstall my Itunes that I will lose all my songs, videos, apps, etc.  Help!! 
    I had upgraded within the last day or two and had not been on my laptop until this evening.  Of course, I really need to access my Itunes music for a work project.

    Let's try a repair install of iTunes first.
    Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    Can you launch your iTunes now?

  • KWallet isn't working since the last Upgrade

    Hi,
    since I carried out a full system upgrade on monday (it was the first upgrade after almost 4 month), I still have some troubles with KDE.
    First of all, there was the problem, that I couldn't reach the KDM login screen. After 3 days of checking and trying everything I found out, that there's something wrong with the /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc. I just replaced it by a *.pacnew-file; now KDM is working but all my KDM-settings (e.g. themes, ...) are gone. But never mind, I can fix it later.
    The biggest problem is, that my KWallet isn't working. In KWallet I saved passwords for KMail, all my mail accounts and Pidgin. When I just startet the computer, KWallet asks me for the password to open the wallet. I enter the password (I'm 100% sure that I enter the correct password) and nothing happens. Pidgin complains that it can't use the wallet, because it's still closed. And KMail just tries to connect to the mail servers without any complaining. Also the icon in the tray shows a closed wallet. If I try to open the wallet "manually", KWallet asks me again for the password, I enter and press "Open", but again nothing happens. The windows, which actually should show all the saved passwords, remains white and emtpy. The symbol in the tray is still showing a closed wallet. So, can anybody tell my what could be happend here and how I can fix it? Changing the password isn't possible, too.
    And a second little trouble is, that there are no more sounds appearing: no system sound when KDM is ready, no system sound when KDE was started and no sound when I try to play some music, videos or internet streams. I checked the settings for Phonon, but everything seems to be okay.
    So, is there a possibly connections between my problems and the shift of files and program to /usr/bin ?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    (A) Reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    (B) Swipe upwards from bottom of screen to launch Control Center. Make sure sound is not muted (tap the little bell)

  • Why am I no longer able to use my Logitech keyboard since the software upgrade y'day?

    Why am I no longer able to use my Logitech keyboard since the software update last night? 

    Hey atinaaw,
    I would first suggest uninstalling the software that is already on your computer for the printer. I have included the document 'Uninstalling the Printer Software'. Please choose the option for Windows 8, as it will be the same steps for Windows 8.1.
    After the uninstall is completed. Please download and run the Printer Install Wizard. This will make sure that you do get the most current and compatible software for your computer, and printer.
    Please let me know if you are able to install, and use your printer successfully, thank you.
