Tabs and internet?

could some one please help meeee?
thanks

So my assumption is correct, you can't quit safari. It doesn't matter whether it's from the dock or menu. I also presume then the quit menu item in safari is grayed out? Is it?
Do you have any extensions installed? If so try running without them (if not skip to the next expirement). I would suggest using the safari preference's extension tab and turning them off. But there may be a chicken-and-egg problem to get the preference to stick if you need to force quit safari because you can't quit it normally (which is the problem you are trying to solve).
An alternative approach would be to go into your ~/Library/Safari (~ is your home directory) and just drag the entire Extensions folder in there on to your desktop and then launch safari. It wouldn't (shouldn't) have any extensions now. Does that allow you quit safari normally now?
If no, next experiment. Drag your ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist file on to your desktop (so at this point you should have the Extensions folder and plist on your desktop) and launch safari. Work now?
If still no, drag the Extensions folder back into the ~/Library/Safari folder (so now only the plist remains on your desktop at the moment). Now drag the entire ~/Library/Safari folder to your desktop. So now at this point the entire Safari folder from ~/Library and the com.apple.Safari.plist are on your desktop.
You are now in a state as if safari has never been run (ignoring caches which I believe we can). A launch now should be equivalent to running safari the first time -- no preferences, no extensions, no personal bookmarks. Hopefully you should be able to quit it now. But let's see what the next steps are after these experiments.
Reminder - Do loose you original plist and Safari folder which should currently be on your desktop.

My ipad jumps apps and internet tabs, Why?

My ipad jumps apps and internet tabs when I am using it to watch videos and produce mini art.
I have reset factory settings and such, but it still happens.
Has anyone else had this problem or is my ipad buggered.
Any help or response much appreciated.

Hi Mikey,
Take a look at the iPad User Guide, which is linked below, and make sure you aren't accidentally using multitasking gestures when the issue occurs.
iPad User Guide For iOS 7.1 Software
manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1595/en_US/ipad_user_guide.pdf
Multitasking gestures
You can use multitasking gestures on iPad to return to the Home screen, reveal the multitasking display, or switch to another app.
Return to the Home screen. Pinch four or five fingers together.
Reveal the multitasking display. Swipe up with four or five fingers.
Switch apps. Swipe left or right with four or five fingers.
Turn multitasking gestures on or off. Go to Settings > General > Multitasking Gestures.

IE works, Firefox has no connection- no error message- just continues to say "new tab" and "go to a website," when something is entered, it thinks for a moment, but then nothing happens. Chrome shows error 137 and safari cant find internet.

Firefox and Chrome stopped working for apparently no reason. IE works. Have tried proxys, firewalls, and restarting. NOTHING WORKS. Firefox is the oddest as there are no error messages, but just shows practically no movement. Only movement is a quick "loading spin" in the address bar, but then nothing. The tab continues to read "new tab" and the address bar says whatever site I typed in, but goes no where. Chrome shows error 137 if that helps.

It's not just you, I can't authorise my phone. It seemed to go down just after I started the update (it wasn't my fault though). I am using chrome, and it does not seem to be a firewall issue, or the bannerblock issue that I read about else where, since I dont have that program installed. Strange though how the support forum is still running. If I go to http://www.apple.com/support I get nothing, but googling topics allows me to see em.

TS2972 When I set up Home sharing on my computers they dont show up in Itunes on the left tab even though net work and internet are working

When I set up Home Sharing on my itunes account it still doesn't show up when I open itunes even though network and internet is fine

You can only share from a computer to another computer or device, so your iPad won't appear on your computer's iTunes but your computer's iTunes library should show under the More button in the iPad's Music app (assuming that home sharing is 'on' on both, iTunes is open on your computer and they are connected to the same wifi network). Is that not happening ?

Firefox has suddenly gone wrong. I was successfully running both Firefox and Internet Explorer 8 on Windows 7. I auto-accept upgrades including the most recent Firefox upgrade and the suggested upgrade to Adobe Flash 10.1. But after this, Firefox stopped

Firefox has suddenly gone wrong. I was successfully running both Firefox and Internet Explorer 8 on Windows 7. My laptop is new and has plenty of RAM and HDD. I auto-accept upgrades including the most recent Firefox upgrade and the suggested upgrade to Adobe Flash 10.1. But after this, Firefox stopped working and does not work when I re-load Firefox 3.6. Also IE8 now works very slowly and does not locate major websites like Microsoft without a 'can't find the website message' and having to pressing Return a second time. When I do get to the Mozilla website and click on the button to try to download Firefox 3.6.6, I get this message "Oops! Internet Explorer could not find mozilla3.snt.utwente.nl". Can you help with what has gone wrong? As it stands, I can't use Firefox at all. Note: because Firefox did not work after the upgrade, I've downloaded the IE8 version of the Adobe Flash 10.1. What I really want is to be able to use both Firefox and IE8. But is this possible if they use different versions of Adobe Flash?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== About 2-3 days ago ==
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1; Trident/4.0; GTB6.5; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0; Tablet PC 2.0; .NET4.0C)

I have been having the same problem as the original poster. After upgrading to Ffx 3.6.6, the program asks you to upgrade to Flash Player Plugin 10.1. I download and installed 10.1 only to find videos weren't loading.
In my case, the problem is the previous installation of Flash Player (9.0.47) was somehow messing things up. To fix this, because I already had Flash plugin 10.1 installed I had to uninstall 10.1 using the uninstaller from adobe and then manually remove any files related the old flash player plugin 9.0.47
Here is a run-down of my process:
0. To check if you have a previous installation of the Flash Plugin lurking around, in Firefox go to Tools -> Add-ons -> Plugins (tab). At this point you may seen both Flash plugins.
1. Proceed to uninstall Flash Plugin 10.1. Adobe provides an uninstaller here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
( you have to make sure you have nothing running when you execute the installer).
2. On my Mac (sorry I don't know what it is in Windows) I searched the hard drive for any files/folders with "Shockwave". I found a folder called "Shockwave 10". It wasn't removed by Adobe's uninstaller. For safety I deleted it and then emptied the trash.
3. I then went to My HD -> Library -> Internet Plugins.
Remove the file and folder named "Flash player.old"
4. Restarted; ran the Adobe Flash Player 10.1 installer. Restarted again.
5. Opened up ffx and double checked the plugins list (see step 1). Version 10.1 is installed and available. Went to problem sites to test it out and Success!
Hope this helps.

Error message about firewall and internet sharing

hello all i have a question regarding the use of firewall and internet sharing.
I have a PMG5 connected to internet through Airport. I've linked an Xbox 360 via the built-in ethernet port in order to access Xbox Live. I had to open specific UDP ports on the OS X firewall but it now works fine. However, in the Sharing Preference Pane, Internet Tab, i still get an error message saying that my Internet Sharing is disturbed by the settings of the firewall and sharing services, it says that i did not activate "personal web sharing" in the first two tabs...but i DID ! And there's no way to get rid of this error message.
I know I know some may consider it's not a real problem because it's just an error message while the connection actually works fine but well, I tend to hate error messages when they're not supposed to show up. So if anyone know the answer, thanks in advance...
Good day to everyone
Vince, Paris...

sorry about the delay in replying, was kinda busy
well trashing the pref files was useless and i tried with another user, same thing. As for the second opinion, the problem was not about which port was used cause as i said the connection sharing works fine and anyway it was the correct port that was checked, it's just that i get an error message while there is no apparent error and everything works fine, i'm told that personal web sharing is not enabled but it is...
Anyway as i said, it's probably not a real matter, as long as it works...which brings me to another thing. I've created a special protocol in the firewall to enable a proper dialog with the xbox. it's basically the same thing you do for ichat AV when you have video connection problems, you track down the concerned UDP port using terminal, you allow traffic and all... The protocol for the xbox worked great for some days, but now it seems it's not enough, the game set keeps trying on another port and i constantly have to update the protocol or deactivate the firewall...and enabling back all UDP traffic is not enough to solve it.
In a way i think everything is linked, the initial error message when everything was fine and the current trouble. Any idea?
thanks
Vince

Airport and internet sharing turns off by itself

Hi everyone, I have an imac that I purchased earlier this year, and I use internet sharing to get internet for my ipod touch. Until a few months ago, this worked fine but now airport and internet sharing turn off every time I restart the computer and I have to turn both back on every time. Is anyone else experiencing this problem or know hot to fix it?

Hi and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
Download and install the v10.5.8 combo update available here.
http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_8_ComboUpdate
One of the "fixes" includes: - compatibility and reliability issues when joining AirPort networks.
After the installation, repair disk permissions.
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

I am a new mac user and have a 15 macbook pro (non retina display). I am having an issue with safari "freezing" ...it will work fine for a while and then I will open a new tab and attempt a website that won't load and after that it seems no website will.

So yes like mentioned above...i am a new mac user...have only had it about four days and have had a windows based system always before this. The issue I am having is that I will be in safari and it will work perfect for a while and then i will open a new tab and attempt another website and it will either be extremely slow or will give the error that it cannot connect to the server, however, when i run diagnostics my internet is fine. The only solution i have found is to reboot and geeksquad has been unable to replicate the problem while connected to my computer to try to do so. Does anyone have any suggestions or anyone else with this problem? If you have a "fix" please try layman's terms because again I have no idea about macs haha. Thanks,

Airport extreme firmware update screwed up my IP sharing and internet

I am having all the same problems -
1) I upgraded to the 7.1 firmware
2) I got the 'double NAT' error, but no problems connecting to the internet
3) When I turned the bridge mode to off, I lost my internet, so I
4) Tried to turn the bridge mode back to Share an IP address, but got an error about IP addresses.
5) I went into Setup - the network port mapping tab - and unchecked and then re-checked the Airport button, so now I have internet access, but only at one computer, and if my computer is functional, my VOIP modem is not (or vice versa)!
6) when I tried going back into "Share an IP address", I got the same error about the beginning and end DHCP conflicting with my WAN.
(If it helps to know, I have two AEBS - one is set up as the Main WDS station, and the other Participates in that WDS)
Now I'm afraid to touch anything!!

I would like to rollback to the 7.3.2 firmware version but there is no way to find it on internet (or on apple download) even if i change rollback airport utility to version 5.4.1: the binary firmware 7.3.2 disapeared from my mac and i can only choose 7.4.1 binary file ...
Do anyone have the same problem ?I you found how to fix it please answer my post (thanks)
Ok, here's how you actually do the downgrade - here's what Apple says, not exactly right - I would add that you HAVE to go to the MENU, choose BASE STATION, then hold down the Option key while pressing UPLOAD FIRMWARE, this will get you to a window that has the dropdown with older versions....the other versions were not available to me any other way.
{quote}If I have a computer or device that does not work well with an AWD with the latest update, how can I install previous (earlier) versions of firmware?
1. Open AirPort Utility.
2. From the AirPort Utility menu, hold the Option key (Control key in Windows XP and Vista) and choose Check for Updates....
3. Select the specific firmware version you require.
4. Click Download.
5. Select your base station and choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click on the AWD icon.
6. Choose Base Station > Upload Firmware.
7. Select a firmware version and click OK.{/quote}

How to install firefox on Windows 7 using Verizon MIS 12200 OTA high speed internet and Internet Explorer?

Downloaded Firefox to the desktop. When installing while not on the internet and the installation crashed. A window asked us to go onto the internet. We did and clicked the Firefox download button. When running the program, it crashed again.

I have an old PSUS4 and a Samsung ML-2010R. Both work perfectly so my issues are mostly with getting them to work each time I step up to the next Microsoft OS. The post by wdboer helped me get my Windows 7 32-bit PC connected to my printer over the LAN and via the PSUS4 so many thanks to wdboer.
I upgraded to a 64-bit PC with Windows 8 and followed the same instructions and used the Universal Printer Driver downloaded from Samsung but all I got was the printer to 'wake up' but it printed nothing (a direct USB cable connection worked fine). I finally got the printer to work by;
1. Windows 8 Control Panel
2. Device and Printers
3. Right click on the newly installed printer
4. Click on the Device Options tab
5. Selecting the Printer Model drop down and selecting Samsung ML-2010 Series followed by Apply
When I went back to the General Tab and clicked on Print Test Page, the printer woke up and printed the test page
Cheers, R

I have a dual boot with Ubuntu 10.10 and Windows 7, with linked profiles. When I upgraded to 4.0, my tabs and settings would show in Windows, but not Ubuntu. How do I fix this?

This worked when I first installed and booted in Ubuntu. When I booted in windows, my tabs which were open in Ubuntu opened in Wndows. But, when I booted back into Ubuntu, all of my tabs and pinned tabs were gone, as well as the firefox button. My bookmarks and firefox background remained, but none of my tab settings.

Norton is due to release a patch for both IE9 and Firefox 4 in May. See [http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Internet-Security-Norton/Norton-compatibility-with-IE9-and-FF4/td-p/420020 Norton compatibility with IE9 and FF4]
To revert to 3.6.16, do the following.
* Go to [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html Download Firefox v3.6.16] and download it to the desktop.
* Then go to Add/Remove Programs, scroll down to Mozilla Firefox and remove it, choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc., (don't checkmark the box).
* Then reboot and delete the folder called Mozilla Firefox at this location: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
* Finally run the installation file you downloaded.
Actually, Firefox 4 does have a means of identifying untrusted sites. See [[Site Identity Button]]

IE 10 blank new tab and missing favourites problem only when requiring a proxy for first page visit

We are having a very strange situation with one (only) of our 64bit 2008r2 remote desktop session host servers. The problem we are having is that when any new tab or window is opened it must first open a page that is in the
internet options -> connections ->LAN settings -> Advanced -> Exception. Do not use proxy server for addresses beginning with
Area. OR ELSE....
The entire contents of the favourites menu below "Organize favourites" is missing, though the favourites explorer bar, and tool bar display the links, but they cannot be opened in the current tab and will not create a new tab when you click open
in new tab. HOWEVER, this problem is instantly resolved if you manually type into the address bar and visit a site that is in the proxy exception list. Then that tab starts to function normally, the favourites menu is populated and works, and so
does the favourites explorer bar, and toolbar, and other websites can be visited.
This is extremely problematic. Looking at the proxy server logs, when the problem is happening no attempt is made at contacting the proxy server.
Ways we've encountered this problem
If the user has the option set that a new tab opens the 'new tab page' then any new tab experiences the problem.
If the browser is set to open the user's home page(s) then any of the home pages that are not in the exception list may or may not open successfully. But again any of them that opened a page that was not in the proxy exception list will experience
the problem
when a user tries to click on a website link from an email or document that is not in the proxy exception list, as this opens a new window or tab and it is just blank.
when a website not in the exception list tries to open a new window/tab
This problem is happening for all users on that RD session host server, including domain admins, except for THE domain/enterprise administrator. Our other 2008r2 64bit RD session host servers and windows 7 machines with the same version of IE
installed on it does not have this problem.
We have tried deleting all IE data, resetting IE, re-registering the ieproxy.dll with the regserv32 command and the problem continues.
Our proxy settings for each user is coming from the group policy setting of 'computer config -> policies -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Internet Explorer -> Make proxy settings per-machine = enabled'
and THE domain administrator choosing to enable the proxy server and disable automatic proxy detection.

Hi,
Since you have tried many methods like deleting all IE data, resetting IE, and it works well on other Windows 7 machines, the problem might be some clients didn’t respond to the group policy.
Try to update the group policy with this command at the clients ”gpupdate /force”.
And check whether the client is infected with virus, some virus might cause this issue too.

HT4623 Opening multiple tabs within Internet Safari on my iPad mini

How am I able to open multiple tabs within Internet Safari on my iPad mini?? I have an iPhone and I can do so but on my iPad mini I can't figure it out or it just doesn't have that option. Someone please help with some answers, thank you!!

Thanks for your response, that's exactly what I thought the + sign was for but I've tried that and when I do it completely closes out safari. I did some other research and it seems to be happening to others also. So not sure what to do now or how I can get multiple tabs opened just like you can on the iPhones.

I am trying to set up iCloud on my PC. My congtrol panel doesn't have Network and Internet.

How do I set up iCloud on my PC when I don't have Network and Internet on my control panel?

Try rebooting the device. It should be in Settings right under General. You may need to go to Settings<General<Reset<Reset All Settings (don't erase data) and setup as a new device. The iCloud login should appear during this step. Just keep setting it up, then go back to settings and see if the iCloud tab appears.

Is there an option to left click and open a bookmark in the same tab and right click to open bookmark in new tab?

I want to be able to open bookmarks in the same window without having to right click and then select open. I would like it to be like internet explorer where you have the option to open a bookmark in the same tab or new tab. I had downloaded an add on that solved the problem with a simple right click to open in new tab and left click to open in same tab. This makes things soooo much easier. Am I missing an add on or a configuration where I can solve this problem. Thanks for your time.

Very, very, very confusing!!!!! Exactly which is it that you want to do????? Left-click = same tab or left-click = new tab????
Your initial subject line:
'''''Is there an option to left click and open a bookmark in the same tab and right click to open bookmark in new tab?'''''
Your last post (3rd post):
'''''Is there a way I can left click and automatically open a bookmark in a new tab...'''''
'''''''''...rather than having to left click and then select "open in new tab."'''''''''
Right-click, '''not left-click''', has the "Open in new tab option".
Easy answer is listed in my initial reply; left-click, same tab; middle-click, new tab!
What are your Extensions?
-List them.
-You obviously set up some extension with some kind of conflict.
To find out which Extension is causing the problem, '''enable one-at-a-time''', restart Firefox for the change to take effect (File > Restart Firefox), test. When the problem re-appears, you know the extension causing the problem.
