"Unable to Connect" error continually shows up despite having reinstalled firefox and troubleshooting. How do I get firefox to work properly again? (windows 7)

I turned on my computer and before I could start firefox it said it was updating. When it said it had finished updating and there were no error messages indicating that the update had failed. When I opened firefox it pulled up the last tabs I had open before closing the program. None of the tabs functioned properly and gave me "unable to connect" errors even when I opened new tabs, no matter what the website was. Everything worked properly in internet explorer. I tried restarting my computer and firefox, troubleshooting, restoring firefox, uninstalling and then reinstalling firefox, checking my firewall and the problem persists. I've tried changing my proxy settings according the articles on the support page but nothing has worked. How should I fix this? Firefox is my favorite browser I would hate to give it up.

see: [[Fix problems connecting to websites after updating Firefox|Fix problems connecting to websites after updating Firefox]]
Also possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

First, try resetting the phone - press both the home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo reappears.

If you bought it used, many if not most of them are "jailbroken" and cannot be fixed. That's why they are sold. Unsuspecting buyers are generally out of luck.
Unauthorized modification of iOS can cause security vulnerabilities, instability, shortened battery life, and other issues
Inability to apply future software updates: Some unauthorized modifications have caused damage to iOS that is not repairable. This can result in the hacked iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch becoming permanently inoperable when a future Apple-supplied iOS update is installed.
... It is also important to note that unauthorized modification of iOS is a violation of the iOS end-user software license agreement and because of this, Apple may deny service for an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch that has installed any unauthorized software.

Do you actually pay for a data plan from your carrier?
Are you in an area with a Wi-Fi hot spot to connect to?

Just got a new Macbook Air. Music library from ios devices/itunes isn't showing up on itunes on the mac. How can I get it to work?

How can I get my previously purchase music to show up in itunes on my macbook air? Not sure I want to import and use up hard drive, but would like to have access to my songs/playlists on my computer. It says homesharing is turned on for all my devices using the same apple id.

iTunes prefs > Store - Show iTunes in the Cloud.
You must be signed into the iTunes store.

After trying to upgrade, I got the error 3014 and now I can't get the iPad to do anything. It continually shows the "plug in to iTunes" icon. How do I get past this problem?

Can't restore, can't power off, and pc can't detect iPad. Error code 3014 when trying to upgrade. Can't even restore to original settings. Opened Hosts files and I did not see 127....gs.apple.com, or other suggested files. Pls help.

Did you see the very end of this about not having enough space left on your computer specific to therror code 3014?
Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
Update to the latest version of iTunes.
Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
Check that your security or firewall software is not interfering with ports 80 or 443, or with the server gs.apple.com.
Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you are using a proxy, try without using one.
Test restoring while connected to a known-good network.
Error 3002: If you experience this error while updating an iPod touch (2nd generation) or iPhone 3G, please use the standard update or restore process in iTunes (click Update or Restore).
Error 3014 may indicate that you need to free up more disk space on the computer before trying to restore again.

I've bought a used iphone 3g, put in the sim but it is still only showing emergency calls only. How do I get it to work properly so that I can set it up for my husband

Any help would be greatly appreciated. The phone wasn't in as good a condition as I expected from the advert on Amazon and am concerned that I have been sold a faulty phone. I've got a 4gs phone and can work that without any problems

If you feel you have been ripped off, you should take the matter up with
the person who sold you the iPhone. Perhaps Amazon can assist since
the iPhone was not correctly described.

Hello,
I am currently an owner of an Ipod Touch 4th generation. I see you are having problems with your Ipod Touch, so I will try to find a solution to your problem.
Hold down the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10sec. or until Apple logo appears (Nothing will be lost, this is just a "Hard Reset")
Hope that helps!
If none of the above solutions work, can you please respond back ASAP as I will try to find another solution to your problem (This might even help others with the same problem!)
Cheers!

Hi johnd83157268,
Sorry for the inconvenience that has caused to you.
Could you please let me know what changes have you made in the registry.
You might need to uninstall Adobe Reader from Control Panel and try install it again from the following link:
Adobe Reader Install for all versions
Please ensure that you are logged in as administrator and anti-virus is disabled as that might interrupt installation.
Try again and then let me know.
Regards,
Anubha

Unable to Connect error 948 via SQL

System Center 2012 DPM trying to connect to a SQL instance on a different server using Windows Authentication. Getting the unable to connect error "Unable to cnnect to xxx.domain.com (ID: 948) Verify that the DPM service is running on this computer",
I figured out that if you add the user to "sysadmin" in SQL management it works for that user. My question is, is this the best practices method of solving this problem? Will this need to be done for every windows user
that tries to access the DPM, or is there a more proper way?
Thanks

can anyone help?

What version of iTunes are you using? The error you references seems to be connected with iTunes 9.0.4. That version of iTunes is not compatible with iOS 6. You need to update to the current version of iTunes.

Unable to connect to Server at servername . enter a different URL and try again (only on client machine)

Hello All,
We are getting "Unable to connect to Server at <<servername>>. enter a different URL and try again" error, if we are trying to connect to report server in report builder.
This issue is appearing only on 2-3 client machines only. Rest on other client machines and server URL is working fine.
Please suggest
Thanks in Advanace
-Regards
-Kumud Vaish

I would suggest looking at what might be different between those clients and the others that work. Do they run the same antivirus version? Did they receive any recent updates (windows or AV)? Are they potentially on a different network
(sometimes a wireless network is configured to be different from the wired)? Are they getting any different group policies?
We've seen the antivirus web control block access before in my environment.

One thing that you can try is installing a 'fresh' version of OS X Lion. Boot into your Recovery partition (holding down the command and R keys whilst booting) and elect to install OS X from the Recovery screen. You need not erase your hard drive and you should not lose any of your data.
Oh, and just as a precaution, I would use Disk Utility, once you're in Recovery mode, to verify your hard drive before trying to install the OS again.

My iphone 4s has the connect to itunes screen. I have tried to reset, recover, etc but I keep getting and error-51 message. Any ideas how I can get my phone working again? I am not worried about saving any info just having a phone to use!

I was in the middle of the iOS 8 update and tried to turn my phone off (yes, I realize this was dumb) But what happened was it tried to reset. Now, my iphone 4s has the connect to itunes screen. I have tried to reset, recover, etc but I keep getting and error -51 message. Any ideas how I can get my phone working again? I am not worried about saving any info just having a phone to use!

Try a Hard Reset.....
Press and hold the Wake / Sleep button AND the Home button at the same time, keep them both pressed until the Apple Logo appears on the screen, it can take 10 or more seconds. Ignore the swipe to turn off message.

Difficulty sending photos through iPhoto 11 often get a connection error. When I go to my email and copy the photos in email the emails go out always with never a problem

I have difficulty sending photos through iPhoto 11 often get a connection error. When I go to my email and copy the photos in email the emails go out right away and never seem to have a connection problem? Why did they cahnge the process for sending photos form iphoto?

It is an addition option some people like and other do not (I do not) -- to use it as always is trivial - in the iPhoto preferences set Apple Mail as the e-mail client
