Trouble closing Firefox, not having the problem with my 2 other browsers

''Duplicate post, continue here - [/questions/767760]''
For some time, I have trouble closing Firefox. When I try to close it a message appears: "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system." It used to be that opening one of my other browsers, Internet Expl. or Netscape Navigator, would do the trick but not anymore. Now, when this message appears it seems that the only way I can get Firefox to close is by stop and restart my computer. I have called my ISP but they believe the problem is with Firefox since none of my other browsers have this problem. I have also performed system restore and deleted and reloaded Firefox several times but each time, the problem reappears. Thank you for any advice you can give me.

The [[Firefox hangs]] article should help with this, in particular the section "Hang at exit".
Not related top your question, but you should reset your user agent string (identifies the version of Firefox). You appear to be using Firefox 3.6.12 but it is identifying itself as Firefox 2.0.0.20. For details of how to do this see [[Websites or add-ons incorrectly report incompatible browser]].

My youtube app is no longer working on my iphone 3. Others, with the same phone, are not having the problem. It works occassionally, but it's unpredictable. I've updated phone software, deleted the app, re-downloaded the app, turned the phone off and on...nothing.

You may have debris in your headphone jack blocking the sensor. Try blowing hard on the jack, and inserting/removing your headphones quickly multiple times to clear it.

I think this problem may be caused by Yahoo's changes making it incompatible with the klatest version of FireFox.
This is suddenly affecting many many people who use Firefox and are members of Yahoo Groups. All these people say they themselves changed nothing and have not been locked out before when using Firefox. But suddenly, within the last week, they are.
What did Mozilla do or what did Yahoo do to cause this problem? I can say that I was not blocking cookies and after trying a number of things to fix it, I went to Yahoo's home page and navigated to my group from here.
This problem is not anything a user did. Either Firefox is at fault or Yahoo is. I want to know which company is at fault and when they are going to fix it.

I would like to know is there anybody out there in the community who is not having a problem with the updates.

That is incorrect. Either you misread or the newspaper you read was wrong. iOS 6.1.2 fixes a bug that caused excessive activity and log entries with Exchange servers.

QT 7.4.5 did **not** fix the problem with some .mp4s

It has been 3 versions now - 7.4, 7.4.1, 7.4.5 - since Apple broke the ability of QuickTime Player to play some .mp4 files. Apple says it is because they have some kind of malformed headers, yet they play fine in iTunes. So why can't QT Player play them, and some people report they have problems when put into Keynote?
Apple has broken functionality for lots of users. Time and again this bug has been brought to their attention. It apparently is a design decision not to fix this, and it is a big disappointment.

The story so far:
If you are having problems playing MPEG4 video in Quicktime 7.4 (and Apple are aware that some users have had such problems) you should carefully check in
/Library/Quicktime and
/Library/Internet Plug-ins and
Home/Library/Quicktime
to check whether you have any third party plug-ins that are not completely up to date.
Current versions of Flip4Mac and DiVX and Perian do NOT cause failure alone or in combination. However the one SPECIFIC extension that ALWAYS causes the failure alone or in groups is 3ivxMediaImp. All other 3ivx extensions DO work. Remove only that ONE SPECIFIC extension.
Please try this and see if it fixes your problem with QT Player, the QT Firefox Plugin, and iTunes not playing MPEG4 files (including mp4 files).
Older 3ivx and DivX components are often incompatible with new QuickTime versions and are, in many cases, obviated by component packs like Perian.
This is not the only explanation for issues with MPEG4 file playback in QuickTime 7.4 and later, however. The issue with videos from democracynow.org and others, for instance, is the result of that content not complying with MPEG4 standards (namely that they use bogus track dimensions). QuickTime had previously ignored invalid track dimensions but this was changed in order to support properly authored anamorphic content.
The recent update to QT 7.4.1 fixed a number of issues but some problems are unavoidable when working with non-standards compliant content. The standards are important for many reasons including keeping hackers from manipulating improperly coded web pages.
A further problem was the fact that the developers of iSquint conceded that in many cases, the files do not play because they have been created in a non-standard way (the tool used to create them was broken). They have therefore included a Debreaker as a part of the latest version of iSquint. If your files are of this type, then you can run them through this app without having to downgrade QuickTime. This could save you a lot of hassle!
http://www.isquint.org/getit.php
However, in other cases, there is a workaround (also the basis for why those files will still play in iTunes): there are a few ways to trick QuickTime into ignoring the invalid track data. For instance, rename the files .3GP and they'll show up just fine.
Post back if you want a list of the plug-ins you should have in order to play pretty much anything in Quicktime.
The recent (mostly security) update to Quicktime 7.4.5 has not changed the situation as described.

Why has Apple not addressed the problems with its own software?

Since I seem to have made the fatal mistake of upgrading my lovely iMac to Snow Leopard, most of my iLife 09 products have ceased working. In particular iDVD, where as before on faithful Leopard it did its job 100% it now decides to crash whenever it feels like it, leaving me with a third party application to use. Myself, along with approx 2000 other users have the same problem, so come on Apple, why the problems with your own software?? and why are we still waiting??

Hi hipster36
Welcome to apple discussions. Question for you: Is your mac intel based?
If not, what's the objective in upgrading to Snow Leopard as opposed to continuing to work perfectly within Leopard? What added features were you considering to upgrade to? Are there any benefits in doing this for your own mac (even if it is intel based)?
It's wise to approach all upgrades with caution (meaning always back up your current / working HD).
Frankly, the way I upgrade is to clone my existing hard drive and then boot to the clone. Thereafter, I install the latest upgrade or OS (assuming it works well on the clone). I guess what I'm saying is to never upgrade without backing up and performing a test drive of the latest OS before you opt to alter your main hard drive. One can't assume that the latest and greatest Mac OS will continue to work fine on a mac which didn't first ship with this particular OS.
This latest Mac OS /Snow Leopard is a bold step forward for apple. It's bold step forward in that it excludes all non-intel based macs.

Firefox is having a problem with Linkedin. I get the error, error in parsing value for "backgroun" and for "filter"

When trying to send messages in linkedin, firefox takes me back to the log in screen without sending the message. On the error console it shows the error; error in parsing value for "background" and error in parsing value for "filter". What is causing this?

Pages does not support the Apple font used for color emoji, so that behavior is normal.
With what app are you reading the yahoo mail? There is really no guarantee than any other email service will show the special Apple font involved.
You should have no problem putting emoji directly into Mail or Text edit via drag drop from the Character Viewer as shown below.
You should also be able to upload graphics here easily by clicking on the camera icon. My email is tom at bluesky dot org.

Is anybody NOT having a problem with G2 touch's WiFi connection?

I am disappointed that after eagerly anticipating the "Lets Rock" event and the release of a new iPod Touch, with the intention of purchasing one now, it seems that from this and other forums there is a major problem with the WiFi on the Gen 2. There are several threads reporting that the new G2 Touch will not connect to the internet via WiFi using WPA secure networks and this is putting me of buying at the moment which is very frustrating.
However, before I am aware that people often only post here if they are having problems with an Apple product and not if they are not, so before casting judgement and deciding not to buy I would like to know whether this issue is affecting all of the new G2 Touch's.
So...is anyone NOT having any WiFi problems and finding that they are able to connect easily to WPA/2 secured networks and routers?
I hope so as I was so looking forward to getting a Touch, but I won't yet if there is a definite fault with the G2.

have had no repies as yet so i thought of a new approach , thus i also cannot connect to my linksys54gs router (no problem with psp or xbox) and would like some help /advise from those in the know,after tapping blue arrow for wifi and choosing the regognised network my touch asks for ip address
subnet mask
router
dns
search domain
http proxy off/manual/auto
server
port
authentication
username
password
And all this without any instructions! the big selling plus of touch is wifi but now i am trully fed up after 2 days of trying a novice approach to set up .
Can anyone please help
Apple please read my feed back from a first time unhappy customer ,-maybe i will just get a refund ..
help!!!

Anyone NOT having Keyboard problems with newer MBP!

After reading about all the keyboard problems on the newer MBPs, is there anyone NOT having keyboard lockups or dropping letter problems? Looking to purchase a MBP soon but after reading about the many keyboard problems I will probably postpone or decide to get a different machine.

There might be a couple of things to try. You could borrow an external keyboard to use for a while--or even buy a cheap one used, and see if you still have problems or not. If you don't, there's likely a problem with the MBP keyboard itself.
Also, if you have access to an Apple Store, you might be able to make an appointment with the genius bar and get a definite diagnosis. It may be possible to arrange to get in a replacement keyboard at the Apple Store and have them fix it while you wait. Don't know for sure if that would be possible, but it's worth asking. Same with an Apple authorized repair shop--it might be possible to get it fixed without having to send it off.
Good luck!

Is there anyone who is not having a problem with their Fascinate?

Just ordered the Fascinate for a penny from Amazon. Looks like that's all it's worth! LOL. Is there anyone who has not had problems with this phone! I have not received mine yet, maybe I'll be one of the lucky ones.
Should I do the update or stick with 2.1? Do I have a choice?

2.2.1 is Froyo. The phone originally shipped with 2.1 Eclair. What is your Build number? I'm assuming it is not the ED04 (which you should avoid at all costs) since you were prompted to update.
Edit: Also, I don't know if it works the same way on the Fascinate, but on the Droid X (running unrooted stock software) you could only postpone the update for a certain period of time and then it would force the update without your approval. Broke a lot of people's X's that were previously running fine. Hope that doesn't happen to you but just letting you know it's possible.

FCPX10.1.1 does not solve the problem with long-time clip editing!

OS: clean installed mac os10.9.1
FCPX: FCPX10.1.1
Project: 4clips, all of the clips is about 1 hour long (dvcprohd)
Disk: 900MB/S++
machine specs:
2*3.06Ghz 6-core
24GB DDR3
and I've tried these graphic cards:
K5000
and
2 5770
all get the same results:
If I double press the "L" key, the response of FCPX is too slow
If I do other operation like browse the clip, or import long time clip,
the FCPX will become too slow to browse the timeline.
I've found the FCPX like to generate audio waves of the clip and
there's no option to shutdown this! I've tried all the options in FCPX like
do not show the waveform of audio in preference and close the audio waveform in timeline
I don't think I can work the project with 10.1.x.
the 10.0.9 also has the 1st problem, but don't have the 2nd problem.
Another project: 2000++ 4K 50P clips(XAVC), but on FCPX 10.0.9, all of the clips is less than 40mins, always 20seconds.
though it will get slower when we import clips day after day,
it's much more smoother than 10.1.1!!!!!!
so,
I don't think we should update to 10.1.x for the little promotion of performance.
and 10.1.x also do not support nvidia K5000 card.
the render is slower than ait5700.....
I hope apple can solve the problem,
all of the above is just basic editing needs!
if the fcpx can not do even a long-time clip editing
why should I use it?

2 project:
1. 4*1 hour clips dvcprohd
that's the problem! I can not bear it.
2. 2000++clips 4K XAVC 50P project which I don't run on FCPX 10.1.1
I run it in fcpx10.0.9, it's fine, but slower when I imported more and more clips.
until now I can bear it.
the fcpx10.1.1 editing long-time clip has problem:
1.
it use 150MB/s harddisk speed to generate the waveform.
I have 900MB/s disk speed, so that's not the problem,
but it generate all the time!
1 hour clip's wavefrom generates for 1 hour without stopping, if I stop it , the fcpx crashed!
2.
when I skimming the clip for editing, the fcpx gets slower, always 2mins to response my operation.
3.
when I double press J or L key, the fcpx will need about 1 min to response.
the FCPX10.0.9 editing long-time clip problem:
the fcpx10.0.9 can handle the long-time clips, but also has very slow response when I doulbe press J or L key.

TS1702 I'm at a dead end - developer not fixing the problem with downloading file transfers from QuickVoice to the computer. How do I report. I see the purchase history in itunes, but there is no place to report a problem.

QuickVoice does not auto transfer files to the computer. When contacting the developer they send you a lync to a transfer file. My anti-viral software says its infected with a Trojan Horse. QuickVoice says to ignore. I question this..... And AVG my anti-viral softward puts it in a vault and won't let you ignore. I have tons of voice recordings I need to get to my computer. Help Apple with the developer you have approved to sell on iTunes.

If you haven't already resolved the problem, go to <https://discussions.apple.com/message/20794011#20794011> to learn how to use FunBox to transfer QV files to computer.

ITunes 7.0.1 Did not fix the problem with registering modules. Any ideas? T

Dell desktop Windows XP Pro

I have reported this problem several times and no word back from Apple. Don't they monitor these boards or are they too arogant for this?
what a silly boy you are, jimpiatt. did you try reading the help and terms of use? we're a user to user troubleshooting forum:
What is Apple Discussions?
you've also chosen to rant about a problem that Apple Hosts are actively soliciting information about. in this very forum. here's a set of search results on that:
Apple looking for info on registering modules
speaking of searching, did you actually search on "registering modules"? that way you can keep up to date with progress is also being made by your fellow users on troubleshooting the hang:

Having a problem with mapquest and other navigation apps. Device accuracy error message.

All navigation apps will not lock in on current position. Used to work great. Any ideas?

I would like to add I might have the problem solved.
I found an older Windows forum from 2009 where another person had a similar problem and it was suggested to use the add 'local printer'. Of course, the wizard set it up so not sure what it did but I did what they suggested and the scanner finally works.
Also, when I went to print something, the preview picture came up and the door to the printer popped open but one of my ink cartridges is out so it couldn't print.....bummer.
At least I never got the 'driver not installed correctly' message.
As soon as I get a chance to get some more ink and try it, I'll post the results.
**fingers crossed it works**
Thanks~
