The new FAFSA web protocol for applying for student loans allows the use of Firefox3.6 on PCs but not on my Linux computer. Any idea what the Federal government is not comfortable with an Open Source solution.

I just tried to fill out the FAFSA form for financial aid on my Linux computer using Firefox 6.13. I was told I had a non-compliant browser. When I contacted them they send me a list of compatible browsers. The only operating systems listed were PC and Mac with a variety of browsers for each. This is their website

The most likely cause that your non-standard user agent that has ''Fedora/3.6.10-1.fc13'' is causing it:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2.10) Gecko/20100920 Fedora/3.6.10-1.fc13 Firefox/3.6.10 GTB7.1
* [[Web sites or add-ons incorrectly report incompatible browser]]
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Resetting_your_useragent_string_to_its_compiled-in_default
A standard UA of Firefox 3.6.13 on Linux looks like:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2.13) Gecko/20101203 Firefox/3.6.13

Whenever I try to log in to my Gmail account, the page redirects for a loooong time, then says that it won't load properly, and that the problem may be caused by not enabling cookies, but I have them enabled. Any idea what the problem might really be?

I did think about that and if I have to I will do that, however there are about 50 songs. I have closed and reopened iTunes several times and I am sure that I have the latest version. It fails right away but I can click on the cloud download icon and download the song that it failed on ... therefore it is not that song "or any one song" causing the issue. Any ideas?

Can't find the wireless signal from my newly installed HP 3050 printer via I phon or I pad. Printer test page found no problems and states successful setup. Any ideal on the cause of the problem? Thanks.

Hello Sashalechat,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having an issue when attempting to connect to a wireless network.
Have you changed the router for a new one?
Make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
Make sure that you are with in the 4'-20' range.
You can try the HP Print and Scan Doctor as well. Let me know if you see any error codes or messages.
Write me back when you have time.

I have recently purchased finale 2011, and it installs, but will not run? Any idea what the problem is?

I have recently purchased the finale 2011 music program, and it installs without any problems, but will not run when I try to start up the program. It acts like it is going to start, but stops when loading the plugins. I have been talking with Finale tech support for three days, and they are coming up empty, but they are still trying. Any ideas what the problem might be?
Thanks,
John

Try booting in Safe Mode (hold the shift key while booting until the grey progress bar appears).
If you're able to log-in, then re-boot and log-in

Hello tcnolen1,
It sounds like you are trying to change the Apple ID logged into the iTunes & App Stores on your iPhone. Use these steps:
Changing your Apple ID account
Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores, then tap the Apple ID signed in.
Sign out of the current Apple ID account and then sign in with another account or create a new Apple ID.
You can find the full article here:

My phone freezes, refuses to open some applications some times, switches off and restarts by itself... any idea what the problem is?

I am using iPhone 5 (iOS 7.1.2). It often switches off and restarts by itself, sometimes it refuses to open certain applications until I switch off and restart it. Sometimes it does not make a call through unless I switch off and restart.
Any idea what the problem could be and any advice to what I should do ?

Hi jallam,
If you are having issues with restarting and apps not launching you may want to try this to troubleshoot.
Since restarting has not helped, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -

My wife switched from an iPhone 4 to an iPhone 5. Everything transferred over and service is on the new phone. However, texts are going to her old phone still. Any idea what the problem is?

As long as iMessage is enabled and the old phone is connected to a WiFi access point, it will continue to receive iMessage texts. It won't receive non-iMessage texts nor will it receive any calls.

Itunes and all my movies have disappeared,i can no longer add to library from my external hdd which ive always used and can only add from the laptops own hard drive,any ideas what the issue could be?

ive recently updated, itunes and all my movies have disappeared,i can no longer add to library from my external hdd which ive always used and can only add from the laptops own hard drive,any ideas what the issue could be?if i transfer the movies from the external to the laptop they will add to the library without any problem so theres no issue with the laptop but when i go to add file in itunes i can path to the external but as soon as i select the file nothing happens, just goes back to itunes

This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

Time Machine will not let me restore from backups after June, 2013. I can see the files on the external hard drive but Time Machine skips all of them and goes back to June, 2013. Does anyone have any idea what the problem is?

And why not? Apple is selling these things like BigMacs. They can't make enough of them. You've been suffering since May because you refuse to get a decent router.
Can you imagine if a company that makes a refrigerator told me that I needed to upgrade my electrical system to rectify a problem with their device? What kind of response IS that?!?!
What if the problem with their device is that it requires a new-fangled "grounded" outlet and your circa 1890 house doesn't have grounded outlets. Would you refuse to purchase a $ 25 adapter on principle?

Stuck how ? What is showing on the iPad's screen, and/or in iTunes on your computer ?
If the iPad won't start up then have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Hi
I followed this guy's instructions and it worked:
http://evsiphone.blogspot.com/2009/05/iphone-iphone-could-not-be-restored.html
I did disable the security (AVG and Zone Alarm) when I tried on my own PC. My wife's laptop which eventually got it working also uses AVG and Zone Alarm but on an XP O/S whereas my PC is Vista - maybe this is why.
Cheers for you help.

Every time I compress a file over 1.5 Gigs it ends up corrupt any idea what the cause is?

Every time I compress a file over 1.5 Gigs it ends up corrupt any idea what the cause is?

Compression depends on repetativeness of characters within the file. If it can't map those, it won't compress. Images and programs are much harder to compress for that reason, as they both are basically binary constructs. Some image software compresses looking at common lines and points of the same color. Audio files look for the same frequency. Most video formats are already compressed to some extent except full DV.
And files with DRM get even more dicy, since you really can't bypass the DRM which itself is binary code, not to mention not allowed to be copied. This forum can't discuss such issues due to the DMCA rules. As long as it isn't copyright, what are you trying to compress?

Click that, and then "More Info". and then "More Info" again.
