Sites won't open from bookmarks, only in Firefox

Sites won't open in Firefox when I use Firefox bookmarks. If I type the www into the navigation bar, I go to the site. With Opera, the bookmarks imported from Firefox work. Using Firefox 17.0 and Apple 10.7.5

hello kkelley1933, can you try to replicate this behaviour when you launch firefox in safe mode once? if not, maybe an addon is interfering here...

Can open a site from bookmarks only by right-clicking and "open in a new tab". Whan's wrong?

Hi.
After some regular updates I can open a site from bookmarks only by right-clicking on it and "open in a new tab". Have this problem also on my PC and a notebook. (Win 7 & Win 8). Didn't add any new add-ons lately, seems like they all work well.
My Mozilla Firefox is ver 31.0
How this problem can be fixed?
Thank you.

I was able to get window open from the help "window" and open sites from there just not from new: window tab or bookmarks those stay invisible? I tried the help suggestions, safemode,etc.

Safari won't open from dock after upgrading to leopard

I've upgraded from OS X 10.4.11 Tiger to OS X 10.5.2 Leopard with the upgrade DVD which arrived today and all the available Software Updates (which included a Safari update). No more Software Updates are available - I've checked.
Safari and Mail will now not open from the Dock. Neither will iChat, AddressBook, iDVD (which produces a pop-up saying it "quit unexpectedly" - it didn't appear to start at all), and iCal. Safari and Mail WILL open from my Applications folder thankfully. I haven't checked the other mentioned applications, except iDVD which does the same non-opening with pop-up from Applications too.
I have run permissions verification and permissions repair from Disc Utility on the Mac HD. I have run disc verification from there too and the result said the disc appears OK. Neither solved the Dock problem.
The icons in the Dock don't bounce or anything. They remain still and un-animated. I just get a pop-up message saying "You cannot use the application "Safari.app" with this version of Mac OS X". Which surprises me as it's a native Apple Mac application isn't it? Obviously it says "Mail.app" for mail, "iChat.app" for iChat etc.
I reinserted the Leopard installation DVD and installed all the applications from the Optional Install.mpkg folder, including Safari and Mail. This has made no noticeable difference: they still won't open from the dock. I have just noticed that an additional icon for Safari appears at the far (right hand) end of the dock when I open it from Applications. But it disappears when I close Safari, so no good for opening it.
It could be worse, I can actually open some of the applications from my Applications folder. But this is inconvenient and besides, it is supposed to work from the Dock.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Can anyone help me to solve it please?
I have backed-up (not using time machine - I backed-up before I upgraded). I hope to avoid having to erase and reinstall but I will IF that will solve this problem (and not cause any others
Help please. Thanks.

Hi
Dock icons are simply alias. The ones on your dock may be corrupted, especially since you can open Safari from the applications folder. To remove an icon, right click on it and select "remove from dock", or simply drag it off the dock, where it will disappear in a puff of virtual smoke.
Then, go to the Finder and single-click/hold any item you want on the dock. Drag it there.
Try Safari or the other apps again.
Specific to the Leopard upgrade, important any 3rd party items installed in your system are Leopard compatible, otherwise you'll have operational problems when using them.
One other thought. It is possible the Dock is corrupted, causing the problem. If the above does not resolve the problem, go to the Finder: Your User Account>Library>Preferences folder. There, move the com.apple.dock.plist and com.apple.dock.db files to the desktop, then relaunch the Finder (hold down the option/command/esc keys to reveal the Quit Panel. Select the Finder>relaunch.

My Macbook pro often won't start up since I installed Lion, and I have to shut it down using power button. My desktop icons don't appear and the dock won't open. I only have the little circle of color spinning endlessly. What's wrong now!

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Elements 13 won't open from iphoto

Elements 13 won't open from iphoto. I have gone in Preferences/Advanced/ and changed the Edit photos to Elements 13.

a single user license entitles the user to install and activate on up-to two computers. but that license doesn't really permit that 2nd installation to be used by another person.
so, if you son was the user on your computer he could sign in using his adobe id on your computer and use pse on your computer (as well as his own - but not both computers at any one time).
if a 2nd user (you) wanted to use pse, they should purchase their own license.

System Prefs won't open from Apple Menu

Ay, ay, ay.
Gigabit G4, Tiger
I couldn't get rid of the blue label on Applications/System Preferences so I created an "archive" of it, tossed the original in the trash and opened the archive. The renewed Sys Prefs gave me permission to change the label, but now it won't open from the apple menu. I guess its an alias there. Where would it be? How to fix it?

Hi,
In some cases "newer" version of an App will not run on Older OS software.
For instance Leopard's iChat 4 will not run in Tiger.
You say a clean install and do not say if you moved your Home Folder Contents back.
Your Mail would have been in there as would the Address Book info.
However related to the first item, you may have issues getting the older Tiger apps to read documents/Databases created by the newer Apps in Leopard.

Hi, my mail won't open from my dock on my mac and it won't quit so I can't restart. Anyone help?

Hi, my mail won't open from my dock on my mac and it won't quit so I can't restart. Anyone help?

Hello ward886,
Thank you for the question. It sounds like Mail is unresponsive, and you are unable to access it or restart your system. In a situation like this, I recommend force quitting Mail and restarting your computer.
Use one of the following methods to force Mail to quit:
Using the Force Quit feature of OS X makes an application close, even when it is not responsive.
Important: Normally you should not need to force quit an app to close it. When an app is forced to quit, any unsaved changes to open documents are not saved, so try these methods to normally close the app first:
Choose Quit from the app menu. For example, in Safari, choose Safari > Quit Safari.
Choose Quit by right-clicking or control-clicking on an app's icon in the Dock.
If your app does not close using the steps above, use any of these steps to force the app to quit:
Switch to another app, such as the Finder, then choose Force Quit from the Apple menu. Select the unresponsive app in the Force Quit window, and click Force Quit.
Press Command-Option-Esc, then select the unresponsive app from the Force Quit window that appears, and click Force Quit.
Hold down the Control and Option keys on your keyboard, and click the icon of the unresponsive app in the Dock. Select Force Quit from the menu that appears.
Open Activity Monitor from the Utilities folder or the Spotlight menu. Select the unresponsive app in the Activity monitor window. Choose Quit Process from the View menu, or click the Force Quit button in the toolbar of the Activity Monitor window.
If you cannot switch from the unresponsive app, press Command-Option-Shift-Esc for three seconds to force it to quit. This key combination tells OS X to force quit the frontmost app.

Site won't open in browsers

My fledgling site will not open in Safari, nor in Firefox.
At first I got a 404 error: "Not Found. The requested URL / was not found on this server."
[Below this message was a plain line, and below the line was another message.]
"Apache/2.2 Server at www.mousenstein.com Port 80" [Their italics.]
I believed I resolved the problem when I discovered that my remote root-folder was incorrect; i.e., I was using a single forward slash "/" as the address instead of the correct address: "/www/", which I then corrected and uploaded to the server.
However when trying to access the site now, I get a 403 error: "Forbidden. You don't have permission to access / on this server." [Again, beneath the damning message was the line and beneath that:
"Apache/2.2 Server at www.mousenstein.com Port 80"
Question 1: Why am I getting these errors?
Question 2: What, if anything, does "Apache/2.2 Server at www.mousenstein.com Port 80" to do with it?
Note: My Web host is Your-Site.com.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

My Remote Site root directory is entered as /www/. I entered it as /www/ rather than simply /www because I was directed to by Your-Site.com Support.
I don't think the syntax is particularly crucial.
All they really say is
"When you connect via FTP most clients will log into the "root" or "/" directory. You must change to the "/www" directory before you start uploading.
Most FTP clients have a section that displays the remove server - when you first login you should see a "/www" directory; if you do, try double clicking it to put yourself into the www directory. If you don't see a www directory check to see if you're in it already.
Once you're in your www directory you should upload your files."
http://accounts.your-site.com/support/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticlei d=109&nav=0
Provided you're pointing DW to the www directory on the remote site, the setup is correct.
Have you spoken to your host about why the site is not showing up?

AU Lab downloaded from Apple web site - won't open!

I just downloaded to my iMac running OS X Mavericks and I get the following error message:
"AU Lab" can't be opened because it is
from an unidentified developer."
Any suggestions?

Hey bsouthj,
I found the following information about that message you encountered, it has to do with your security settings:
The app you tried to open was not registered with Apple by an identified developer. This doesn’t necessarily mean that something’s wrong with the app. For example, some apps were written before developer ID registration began. However, the app has not been reviewed. Also, there is no way for OS X to check whether the app has been modified or broken since it was released. A common way to distribute malware is to take an innocent app and insert harmful code into it, and then redistribute the infected app.
The safest approach is to look for a later version of the app from the Mac App Store or check for an alternative from an identified developer.
In addition to apps, other types of files may not be safe. Scripts, web archives, and Java archives have the potential to cause harm to your system. Of course, not all files like this are unsafe, but you should exercise caution when opening any such downloaded file. An alert appears when you first try to open these files.
You can choose to override your security settings and open the app anyway:
In the Finder, locate the app you want to open. Most apps can be found in the Applications folder.
Press the Control-key, then click the app icon.
Choose Open from the shortcut menu.
Click Open.
The app is saved as an exception to your security settings, and you will be able to open it in the future by double-clicking it, just like any authorized app.
For more information about protecting your Mac from harmful software, see:
Protect your Mac from malware
via: OS X Mavericks: The app is from an unidentified developer

Site won't open after recent update

I am working using an OLD version of iweb (1.1.2 I think) and after the most recent software update it will not open my existing pages any longer. All I get is the option to build new pages. I can find the files for the old ones, but they won't open. It used to ask me which domain I wanted to open, but now it just goes straight to opening the app and asking me to create a new one. Am I the only one with this problem??? If not, does anyone have any ideas? Help!! I really don't want to have to re-build the site from scratch again. Thanks.
