Sporadic crash; Main Q: how do i stop going into standby automatically and then freezing when I try to restart what I am working on. Hate this new FF.

Just how do i stop this autostandby feature. It was not on my previous ff. Or maybe not set. I need to know how to swithc it off and cannot find a lead in the index or even a list of all the items in the index to help track it. I am working on something and leave to do something else and then come back and it is all on standby. Since Having the ff4 craashes a lot and infact does all sorts of aberrant th ings. Then I have to shut down (slow once crashed) and reboot. So many problems that I am threatening to give up the computer. It is wasting so much time. It never has before.

I want to put in my 2 cents as well in hopes that Apple will start to notice this based on the number of people that are posting the problem. I am having the same problem, which I will describe as well as to what I have seen. I have iTunes open already and insert an audio CD. It appears briefly on the desktop as "Audio CD" and then iTunes accesses information on the CD from the web. It then looses the information and the disk and the CD unmounts completely in the finder. I am certain of the timing, as one CD I inserted had multiple different possible matches found and when I chose one, it unmounted as soon as I chose the right item from the the dialog box. It happens sporadically with no pattern that I can see. Some disks work and others do not. I have been keeping Disk Utility open and when it happens, I just click on the CD in there and click on "Mount Disk" and then iTunes proceeds to import it just fine and then ejects it, as I have set the options. It started to happen after I upgraded to Leopard and also iTunes 7.5. I don't think I tried to import anything between doing those 2 updates.

  • How can I stop the nuisance video ads and add links being generatesd, since getting the latest Firefox update installed, I HATE them getting in the way?

    Little video ads appear at random times on the lower right of my screen. Also, in some sites a few "key words" are being converted into hyperlinks to unwanted advertisers. In some instances, we also see this appearing on the East Arkansas Community "Campus Connect" site, promoting other online educational organizations that are in potential competition with our institution. This is unacceptable.

    hello angrommet, this sounds like a problem caused by adware active on your pc. please go to ''firefox > addons > extensions'' & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc). also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and run a full scan of your system with the security software that you have in place and different other tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].

  • How am I supposed to exit Firefox when the "x" at the top has disappeared? I hate this new Firefox!

    How am I supposed to exit Firefox when there is no "x" at the top. I seem to have lost everything at the top. I downloaded the new Firefox and have had nothing but problems since. Right now my problem is that I hit "full page" and didn't know I would lose my exit "x" at the top. Now I can't find ANYWHERE to restore the old one.

    Try hitting the F11 key. I had this problem and it fixed it for me. It's a toggle that takes it back and forth, showing and not-showing the toolbars. Gives you more space to read the webpages, which on small screens could be a blessing. Hope this works for you!

  • TS3623 Ordered a movie to rent. Was watching it then it stopped and had the timer going. Turned it off, tried to watch the next day and could not get it to play. Even after going into settings and going into iTunes Store and then rentals like it said. No

    Ordered a movie to rent. Was watching it then it stopped and had the timer thing going on forever. Stopped watching it and went to bed. Tried to watch it again the next day.It Said for us to go to settings, then iTunes Store, then ck for rentals.  Still, the timer kept working and could not continue to watch our silly movie. This has happened to us many times. VERYYYYYYYYYYYYY annoying. I am beginning to HATE Apple TV. Please advise!

    If it's stopping during the movie that could be network related. As for locating the rental, try logging out of your account and signing back in again.

  • How do I stop iPhoto from repeatedly closing Event title boxes when I am in the middle of entering a title?

    How do I stop iPhoto from repeatedly closing Event title boxes when I am in the middle of entering a title?
    This problem started several months ago. I have tried typing more slowly and typing faster; neither help.
    It now takes me about four attempts to complete a title of about twelve characters, achieving about three characters on each attempt.
    I am running iPhoto 9.4.3 on OS X 10.8.3 on a 2.93 GHz Intel Quad-Core i7 iMac with 12 GB of DDR3 memory.

    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • How do i stop my programs from automatically popping up when i turn on the computer?

    how do i stop my programs from automatically popping up when i turn on the computer?

    When you log out or shut down, there will be a checkbox that asks you if you want to reopen windows when you log in. Just uncheck this box. If that isn't it, you may have login items turned on. Go to System Preferences>Users and Groups and then under your name click the Login Itens tab. Make sure nothing is there.
    If you want to stop windows from restoring when you open applications (so for example when you open Safari it doesn't open the 50 tab page you just had open when you quit) go to SystemPreferences>General and then hit the checkbox that says Close windows when quitting an application.

    Ever since I updated my iPhone 4S and my iPad 2 to IOS 6 all my iMessages are coming to both my iPhone and my IPad. How do I stop the iMessages I send and receive on my phone from receiving on my iPad as well? I have tried going into my settings and making sure I'm only set up to receive iMessages to my cell number and not my email....but that didn't fix the problem.

    Here the way to do it, for both, or for only one Go into your settings, Messages and turn on iMessage. It will then send messages that are iMessages to both your iPad and iPhone. You can also turn off this feature on the iPad if you do not want to receive messages on the iPad.
