Unknown Software trying to load and start up
For the past 2 months when I reboot some unknown software is trying to startup. Since I only use the PC for editing there isn't any software installed that isn't related to video or music editing. I attached to images hoping that someone recognizes it. Flashes on the screen for a half second.creen for about .5 seconds. I've been through all my software and I don't see anything that looks familiar. The icon I'm pointing to with my pen looks like a head with 2 gears inside.
What anti-virus software do you use, and does it have a tracking function?

Firefox crashes as soon as Flash video tries to load and Safari shows the error "Plug-in Failure"
I am unable to use Youtube or view Flash video on any sites.
Firefox crashes/quits as soon as a video tries to load and Safari shows the error "Plug-in Failure".
I have uninstalled Flash, downloaded a fresh version and installed, but no joy.
I am using OS X 10.6.6.
This is what I have tried so far;
1. Repaired Permissions.
2. Restarted with external drive and run Disk repair.
3. Restarted with external drive and run DiskWarrior.
4. Completely uninstalled Flash plugin. Robooted. Reinstalled Flash plugin. Rebooted.
5. I even installed an earlier version of the plugin to see if there was some incompatibility with the latest version.
6. Created a new user login and tried from there. Same problem.
Any ideas?You have what is necessary for Flash Player to be working. Firefox had some issues last year but it was after loading a video or the website. I had not heard of it lately and even last year don't recall it happening on the Macs.
What is happening with yours sounds like a direct conflict with some addon/extension.
Here is the link from Firefox describing what happened last year. You might want to see if there is anything more current.

I'll get the Mac troubleshooting guide in a minute and post it also.
Any adblock or popup blocker software would cause this also.

I have ticked the apple TV icon, the video then tries to load and then it drops off. The ticked Apple TV icon reverts back to IPAD....it occasionally does load but only 1 time in 10. i have good wifi signal and the ipad always recognises the apple tv icon but the video does not appear...
Any tips appreciated, i have a new ipad air and new Apple TV boxWelcome to the Apple Community.
Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
Restart your mobile device.
If you are still having problems, the following article(s) may help you.

After I sync my apple iphone 3g with microsoft outlook 2007 contacts my apps will not load and start
I have an Iphone 3G about 5 years old and tried to sync it for the first time with microsoft outlook 2007 on my laptop and completed the sync for my contacts. After that, when I tried to used any downloaded apps, they will not load and start. I powered off theiphone and restarted it -- no change.
When I touch the app, it fills the screen for a split second as if it wants to start, but nothing happens. This is with all downloaded apps (free or paid for) only. Everything else works fine.

I just bought this and was trying to load it for the first time and the circular icon just keeps flashing like it is trying to load and can't. Most elements come up but I am wondering why it is still flashing like it is trying to load.
At times, the drop down menus will not stay up. When I click on them, they flash and then disappear.
This is not a blank message.Not the help you're looking for -- sorry -- but I'm fighting a battle with Adobe tech support, too. They won't help me with an issue involving using the program, but their site seems to indicate that tech support is available for download, install, & setup. Check page: https://helpx.adobe.com/contact/what-contact-options.html and try calling them again. Good luck!

Trying to load and install gnome
I have tried to load and install gnome for thge past three(3) days with no success. If this is what Arch linux is all about then its lost on me. Anybody want to change my mind?
this is an example of how not to ask a question.. first. if you want to leave go ahead, no one is holding you back.. second obviously, trying to "load and install gnome for the past three(3) days with no success" is not what archlinux is about.. having said that..
you need to install xorg
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg
and the you need to install gnome
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Gnome
next you add a login screen or configure your .xinitrc
i can only tell you this as you provide no useful information or say _specifically_ what your problem is -

bepebeHi @bepebe ,
I see that you are having issues with the HP Printer Assistant not opening, after installing the printer software. I would like to help you out today.
Temporarily turn off any Antivirus Software to make sure it isn't interfering with the HP Printer Assistant loading.
Try opening it again.
Download and run the Print and Scan Doctor if the issue persists. It will diagnose the issue and might automatically resolve it. Find and fix common printer problems using HP diagnostic tools for Windows?
Please provide the following information so I can assist you better.
Did you have any errors during the install itself?
How is the printer connected? (USB/Ethernet/Wireless)
What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (did it print or scan, any error messages)
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

After turning on my computer all I get is the white startup screen and the circle that goes around continuously trying to load. What should I do? I have done all the obvious things such as as the power source, unplugged speakers, etc.
Assuming you are running 10.4.11 as indicated in your profile information:
How to Perform an Archive and Install
An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update. -
Why is Firefox 3.6 soooo slow to load and start?
I recently upgraded my version to 3.6 - as advised on your website when I saw a newer version was available. However it takes ages to load up and start. It can take at least 5 minutes to start up! Driving me to start using IE!!! I have uninstalled and re-installed from your website several times and it doesn't change anything. I have used a new profile and still the same! Occasionally after 10 mins it comes up with a dialog box say Firefox can;t find or is having trouble running a script. After first seeing this I uninstalled and reinstalled again as I thought it had become corrupt. But after doing this several times it is still the same old slow Firefox! And I thought new versions were supposed to improve things!
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== When I upgraded to the latest 3.6 versionYour Firefox settings and info are kept in a folder separate from the Firefox program, called your profile folder. Try creating a test profile, to see if the problem still occurs. See [[Managing profiles]]or One of your add-ons might be the culprit too. Try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] with all add-ons disabled. If that solves the problem, see [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and possibly [[Troubleshooting plugins]]

10.1.0.4181 won't stop trying to load, and now the Calendar won't sync
Hello, my Q10 upgraded to 10.1.0.4181.
1) BB Link trying to upgrade and it's already done. I turned off the auto upgrade but that hasn't fixed it.
2) Now my local Calendar entries won't sync to Outlook. I restored from the backup taken just before the upgrade, but still no calendar entries. I don't want to put my private info on the cloud.
I've read other threads on issues with 10.1.0.4181 but haven't seen anything on how to fix my device. Any suggestions?MCGozers wrote:

When I leave my computer for a few minutes - some page tried to be loaded on firefox. Firefox stops it, but there I am left with a warning, a blank white screen from the attempted load of whatever malware it is. It's really frustrating because I am light sensitive. A blank white screen out of no where is quite shocking to my nerves. I hope we can figure this out sooner than later. Is it possible I have a browser bug ? How do you get rid of malware on your firefox?
Hello Sweetsilverbird, I'm sorry to hear that you have malware on your computer. From what you have said I think you have some type of adware on your computer. They tend to advertise things. They often come as part of free software and can be quite annoying. The good news is I am here to help you get rid of that and it is quite easy.
So the first step is we are going to need to get some anti virus software on your computer. I recommend taking a look at [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware|this support article]] . Near the bottom it has a list of some free legitimate anti virus. Personally I would recommend Malwarebytes. After you pick one, all you have to do is download and install it. After that update it and run a scan and it will remove the thing that is causing so many problems for you.
I hope this helps and the adware gets removed from your computer. If you have any questions or you run into any problems let me know. -

when I click iPhoto it attempts to load photos but never completes task therebye rendering it useless. I have around 3000 pics in there.!! help!!
Have you repaired Permissions?
Not sure about the problem, but try this.
In the Finder, go to Yourcomputername>Library>Preferences and trash the file com.apple.iPhoto.plist
Then see if iPhoto will open.
If not, boot in Safe Mode? See What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? (Mac OS X)

Hi Guys
Over resent weeks the down load time for the Appel TV Gen 3 has gone very slow, To the point that you can not watch the movie as it does but buffer and you have to stop about every 15 mins. I have a fully cable internet at 100mps or more. Other Australian sites down load movies in 2-3 min at worst and often can stat and play thought in 1 min 30 secs.
Apply TV was not like this in fast month to April, But May and June are Not GoodHave you verified speed via speedtest.net ?
Have you checked at different times?
Check istumbler or netstumbler to verify interference
Make sure you are on your ISPs DNS (settings - network - configure DNS - automatic)
