Switched from IE8 today and can no longer print Fed Ex shipping labels. Fed Ex help desk says its a Firefox problem and they are unaware of a fix.

We used IE 8 at work, with a Vista 32bit O/S. We switched to Firefox today, and can no longer print using our Fed Ex shipping printer, through FedEx.com. If we switch back to IE8, we can print labels.

Does the label appear in File > Print Preview, and it just won't print? <br />
Do you have the correct size "paper" selected thru Properties for that printer when viewed thru Firefox? <br />
See if anything here helps: <br />

If that doesn't help you, I don't know what else to recommend. Without being able to login to FedEx and without access to their printer, there isn't anything I can do to see what the problem with Firefox and their printer might be.
IMO, FedEX should either tell you that their printer software is made to work to IE only or not. Considering that they are a worldwide company and that Firefox has like a 30% worldwide market share, they might be disappointing like 30% of their customers with vague help responses like that. Plus, IE is for Windows OS's, what are their customers running Mac OSX or Linux supposed to do if it doesn't work in Firefox?

  • Switched from W7Beta to W7RC:  Can no longer see Windows partion in OSX

    Hey all,
    It's pretty much all spelled out in the title. Microsoft is pretty clear that upgrading is never an option with beta software. In light of that, I knew I would have to re-install the OS from scratch to upgrade from the beta to the retail candidate. I decided to just boot up from the installation disk and re-install the new version over top of the same boot camp partition. Everything works great now except for one thing: OSX no longer recognizes the other partition as a windows one. Instead, it just shows up in disk utility as "disk0s3" and its all greyed out.
    In the big picture, I guess its not a big deal since W7 has to be on NTFS anyway (so I can't really use it much from the mac side anyway). I was just wondering if anybody knew how I could fix this. (Without having to reformat the partition with bootcamp...I don't care THAT much )

    I needed the wmp plugin to view webcams in the latest firefox, some websites would show either nothing at all or just a black screen. I reinstalled the wmp plugin (v1.0.0.8) from [http://www.interoperabilitybridges.com/windows-media-player-firefox-plugin-download here]. If there isnt an SP3 version available, try SP2. The x86 plugin for an old 32-bit system, x64 for 64-bit, but it still only worked in IE. Firefox remained black.
    I managed to eventually (somehow) fix the issue by clicking on tools>addons>extensions and then disabling all that were switched on, restarting firefox, and then re-enabling those I did want once more. After restarting firefox once again for the last time all webcams were working and showing again. I guessed from that, it may have been an incompatible extension that was installed, causing the wmp plugin to also not to work, or that the wmp plugin simply wasnt registered/installed correctly.
    Make sure that the wmp plugin is showing in the firefox "tools>addons>plugin" list. If that doesnt help, try the same with the firefox plugins (removing all that you dont work and/or disabling all except for the wmp plugin/re-starting firefox/re-enabling all+restarting firefox once again.. There are a few plugins and extensions that are no longer compatible with firefox 4. Im not sure if any of that will help, but at a guess if wmp streaming videos are set to play in IE, that may also be causing issues with streaming videos not playing in firefox?

  • I upgraded my AirPort to 5.6.1 and can no longer print to my HP Photosmart C6180 all in one printer from my MacBook? - help.

  • Video's are missing and can not post any video's and can no longer see on Facebook after upgrading mac software.  Facebook says content is unavailable.  Is this a facebook issue or is there something that I can do to fix on my mac.

    Video's are missing from facebook album under photo's.  It shows that I have 99 and only shows 24.  These are not copyright problems.  I have had them up for years.  Now, I can not post any video's  too.  Message says that content is currently unavailable. It seemed to happen after I upgraded to 10.7.5 but it could be coincidental.  Of course, I have not got any email from facebook to help with this problem and I am really frustrated that I can not find my video's and post any new ones anymore.  Any help would be appreciated.

    I would like to add that Comcast is my internet provider. Perhaps that is part of the issue although the Connection Doctor confirms the mail box is connecting to the internet. No other function processes when Connection Doctor program is used to find the source of the issue. I have read forum posts but am unable to find a way to get my Apple mail to be delivered to my computer. It worked fine up until I chose to transfer mail to the Cloud. My mail account is a .mac account.
    Still hoping someone out there can help me.
    thanks,

  • I updated to Reader 11.0 and can no longer print PDF files

    I have restarted my computer and tried PDFs from multiple sites, including ones I have previously been able to print.  Adobe repeatedly tells me there are no pages selected to print.  There are definitely pages selected.

    What is your operating system?  Reader version?

  • UPGRADED TO ADOBE 11.0.06 AND CAN NO LONGER PRINT PDF'S RUNNING WINDOWS 64 BIT.  SAME ON 2 LAPTOPS

    When i hit print a pdf document since i upgraded , no document goes to my printer Q...nothing happens?
    Any fixes?
    Same is hapening on my wifes computer.

    Wow! At least it's not just me!
    I've been trying to do various tests, and now my results are a bit different:
    Going off Candace's notes:
    1) Doesn't work for me. This is what I used to do and want to do again: create a PDF from any application by clicking Print (eg, the Print link on web page) or pressing command-P. No file is created now.
    2) I didn't even know this option existed. It worked for me, but I don't want to print my documents there. I want to be prompted for a name and folder of my choosing in the dialog box.
    3) Oddly, this morning after reading Candace's response, I now only get prompted with one dialog box, not two. Again, I don't want to do this. I want it to work as before where after invoking Print I would be offered a dialog box asking me what to name the file and in which folder to create it.
    Thanks, Candace! I appreciate your post!

  • Can no longer print to Canon printer connected to Airport Extreme

    My Canon MP830 is connected to my Airport Extreme. Bonjour on my Windows 7 Acer laptop sees and installs the printer. I have been printing to the MP830 successfully from wired and wireless computers on my network this way for around a year. Today, I can no longer print to the MP830 unless I connect it directly to a USB port on my Acer. Bonjour can still see and install the MP830 when it's connected to the Airport Extreme, but I can't print to the MP830.
    Any ideas?

    Sounds a bit like a problem being discussed in this thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2651093&tstart=0
    I suspect some kind of update is at fault. Like you, my printer/base station setup had been working fine until recently.

    It's because the PowerMac G5 had HUGE bandwidth with a fat BUS on each processsor so they could run hard, hot and heavy.
    It's not so with the Intel processors which are multi-core and share a common bus thus bottleneck.
    The newer Intel processors can do more work on the CPU, but when it comes to in/out they are s-l-o-w.
    I've had a wickedly fast dual processor (not dual core) G5, RAID 0 pair of 10,000 RPM drives as boot and a fast video card, I could do a lot very very fast.
    You'll likely have to upgrade to Final Cut X to get more cores utilized, prepare to cry a little bit, Apple is working on the features they stripped out of it to make amends to pro users who complained loudly. (all over TV too)

    I have a uk iTunes account but have moved to the Netherlands and can no longer connect or make purchases. Do I need to change my account to a Dutch one?

    You can't transfer any content from one account to another account (nor can accounts be merged) - all content will remain tied to the account that downloaded it.
    Do you not have copies of all of your downloads e.g. on your computer or backup of your downloads/library ? Whilst you are in Australia you can't redownload your UK purchases (you have to be in a country to use its store), if you have them on your computer's iTunes library then you should be able to stream them from it to your Apple TV

  • How do I deactivate a license from a computer that crashed and can no longer be accessed?

    How do I deactivate a license from a computer that crashed and can no longer be accessed? I cannot use the software on my new computer because of too many users.

    Will you please provide a specific telephone number or chat link? I seem to be in a loop, that gets me back to the same place:
    I click on your above link ...
    Then Deactivation and sign-out problems
    Then Error "Activation limit reached" or "Sign in failed" | Adobe products
    Then Can't access your previous computer?
    Then "Don't have access to the previous computer on which you installed the application?Contact us. Be sure to have any purchase-related information ready."
    "Contact Us" takes me back to "Need help?", which eventually directs me to this forum in the first place.

    Hi Veli,
    Please check the security token timeout value and it is set to 1440 as expected by default. You can check via running the command:
    stsadm -o getproperty -pn token-timeout
    Then check the OOB recycle times of the probkematic web application pool, and add daily recycle times for the problematic web application pool. You can do as the article:

  • The context has expired and can no longer be used. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80090317)

    We have a problem with our wiki site collection. Once a day (and sometimes more), we get the following error message :
    The context has expired and can no longer be used. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80090317)
    This message is displayed to everyone, and will stay there for an hour or so before the collection is back to life.
    Doing an iisreset would get the site working but that will last for a day at the most.
    This is what we checked and tried so far :
    1. Our time zones are set and are correct.
    2. Changing the timeout or disabling the web page security validation (followed by an iisreset) didn't work.
    3. All server use the same NTP server for time sync (and they are indeed in sync).
    4. It is happening only on the wiki collection, not the other collections.
    5. We are unable to reproduce the behavior on the staging servers.
    Some particularities :
    1. Regional settings are set to French (Canada)
    2. We have 500+ wiki pages in the site collection
    3. We require page check-out / check-in for editing. Tried without, same problem.
    Any ideas as to what should we try next ?
    Regards,
    homerggg

    Hi,
    I don't think we have changed them from the default, a quick look shows ours are set to:
    Token-timeout = 24hrs
    FormsTokenLifetime = 10hrs
    WindowsTokenLifetime = 10hrs
    LogonTokenCacheExpirationWindow = 10m
