Using AOL on Firefox, won't send Pages document, Safari does?

In Firefox, using AOL, when I attach a Pages™ WP document, it wont send. When I do the same thing in Safari, it does send.

HI,
Try this. Go to Applications/Utilities then launch Java Preferences.
Select the General tab.
Click the button next to: In their own process
Quit Java Preferences and relaunch Safari.
This is working for some users, others not but might be worth a try and you can always change it back.
I am not looking for everyone's speculations as to what MAY be the cause
Everyone's configurations are different. We don't speculate. We troubleshoot. We can only go on the information that you give us.
You changed your profile from Mac OS X 10.5 to 10.6. Which Mac OS X are you running??
If you are running 10.5.5, you need to update your system software to 10.5.8. You can use the v10.5.8 Combo Update

After years of use, AOL mail now won't send mail using firefox

I have used AOL with FIREFOX for years. However, now it won't send mail, the send button, and the reply button are dead, inoperative.
I have updated FIREFOX, it didn't help.
I can't think of anything that has changed, although something no doubt has

Ever since upgrading to Mountain Lion, my AOL messages sometimes, but not always open with a blank page. If I open AOL in Firefox, the messages open fine. This does not happen with any messages by any means, and it is not any type of certain message

Ever since upgrading to Mountain Lion, my AOL messages sometimes, but not always open with a blank page. If I open AOL in Firefox, the messages open fine. This does not happen with any messages by any means, and it is not any type of certain message. In fact, in the same screen I can often open an email from the same sender with email intact. This is weird. Sometimes I close the page and open a new page. Sometimes that works and sometimes it does not. It is a very annoying thing.

Hi,
When you start Messages fro the first time you are asked for an Apple ID
When this is verified and entered it appears in Messages Menu > Preference > Accounts and is Enabled.
The App should have also picked on on those iChat Accounst you had before.
These should be Enabled if they were when you last used iChat.
Exactly which "Accounts" are logged in can be seen in Message Menu > Accounts and will include the iMessage "Account" and Bonjour.
In the Window menu you will see CMD +0 for the Messages window and CMD+1 for the "Buddies" window which is a combined list at this stage.
Go to the Preferences > General Section and Untick the "Collect all accounts into one list".
This will give you separate iChat type Buddy lists.
You can check if that account/Buddy list is set to Invisible or if in the Preferences > Accounts > Security you have settings that will block some people from seeing you as On line.
You are saying Buddies can see you as On Line which implies they are still sending to your AIM based Names (@Mac.com is a valid AIM Screen Name)
I am not sure from your post if you are trying to iMessage their email IDs thinking they are Apple IDs and that they are using Messages as well.
There is no Buddy list for iMessages side
No-one can tell you are "On Line" until they have your details in the "To" spot in Messages with the correct iMessaged contact info (iPhone Number or Apple ID)
Obviously an Apple ID can be an email or look like one.
In some cases they are also valid AIM Screen Names as well.
In the case or the @mac.com name you may have linked this Apple ID to iMessages as well.

I am using VPN, and Firefox is loading the page. Before I reinstall the new version, the VPN was working okay. Whta happened, what I am supposed to do?

I am using VPN, and Firefox is loading the page. Before I reinstall the new version, the VPN was working okay. Whta happened, what I am supposed to do?
I have to use the VPN to acess the site because of the limitatation , and it was working okay. When I do turn off the VPN, then the sites will open, but if I activate the VPN, then site will load for ever, but they won't load.
Please advise me what to do?

You might try using the add-on 'NoSquint' which allows numerous zoom options specific to each page you visit & keeps your settings - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nosquint/
If you want to go back to 3.6x, you will find it here:

In most cases you can simply "upgrade" (meaning downgrade) directly from the installation. It would be a good idea to save your passwords & bookmarks just to be on the safe side.

Using AOL emails, Firefox goes into a "not Responding mode" I have to wait until it times out.

using AOL emails, Firefox goes into a '''"Not Responding" mode.
I have to wait until it times out. Happens every time I log on.
I am using windows 7, HP lap top. I am using MSE for virus detector. This may have started sense I switched to MSE.
I am not sure.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) 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 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.

How do I send pages documents in my email to people who do not have pages? have pages?

After doing a system restore, Firefox won't load pages.

I restored my laptop a couple of days ago (from a previous date, not a full system restore), now firefox will open to the home page (google), but will not load any other page. It doesn't even bring up the "page won't load" page, it just continually says 'connecting' forever. I also noticed, even when I first open firefox, and it opens the google homepage, it doesn't have google.com in the address bar, it has 'about:home'. Internet explorer seems to be working fine, and my internet connection is fine, so I am not sure what the problem seems to be.

hello rlyslowff, one thing you could try is to remove all program rules for firefox from your firewall/security software and let it detect the program again...
please also [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/ update your plugins] (some of them are out-dated & have security vulnerabilities that are actively exploited on the web).
in case this didn't solve the issue, go to the firefox ''menu ≡ > help ? > troubleshooting information'', copy the contents of that page and paste them here into a reply on the forum, as this might give us further clues what is going on...

Firefox won't load pages, but other browsers will.

Firefox won't load any internet pages, but different browsers, both Chrome and Explorer work, I havent tried others. I've un-installed, changed the name of the folder of the plug-ins that were left so it wouldn't recognize them, then re-installed nothing happened. I've checeked for viruses, proxies, and i'm pretty sure its not a firewall, I think we only have one and I checked it, plus there is no prompt asking me if I want to allow firefox to access the internet. It won't run in safe mode, so its not any add-ons, clearing the cache didn't do anything either. Its also not in offline mode. What else could it be?

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Do I have to use computer based mail app to send mail through Safari?

Can't believe I am confused on this...but....if I click on an email link in a web page that I am looking at in Safari, does sending email require opening and sending through a separate computer based mail app? My email accounts are through AOL, but doesn't seem that even if I sign in at AOL's website, that I can access a web page through them, and in turn have mail links link to my online AOL email page. That means that I have to use a mail app that people who access my computer and open and look into?

Hi Jim,
You can set up AOL mail using the Mac Mail application, instructions here.
http://macs.about.com/od/applications/qt/mailaol.htm
That means that I have to use a mail app that people who access my computer and open and look into?
Only if you share your login user name and password with them.
If you allow visitors to use your Mac, you can setup a guest account for them to use.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/15600.html
The instructions at that link are for v10.5 but it works fine for v10.6 as well.

Safari, camino, firefox not opening web pages but IE does... any ideas why?

i just recently moved from the US to Bosnia. after finaly getting high speed internet, i'm finding that some web pages on my macbook pro open incredibly slow or not at all while those same web pages open just fine on my pc using internet explorer. i've tried using camino and firefox in addition to safari and all have the same problem on the mac.
does anybody have any ideas?????

well friend, thanks again for all your help. i found a lot of help on another thread if you're interested: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1195713&tstart=0
regardless, here's some things i did that seem to have helped for now... significantly speeding up my web browsing:
1. I changed from WPA/WPA 2 to just WPA 2 (this seemed to have helped the most)
2. I added two 'general' DNS addresses in my preferences/network settings (this also seemed to help):
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
3. under my preferences/network settings, I completely turned off Configure IPv6. (I don't know if this has helped but it was suggested and it doesn't seem to have hurt)
Unless I'm connected to a cisco client, I still have very slow to no browsing on the apple discussions pages but all other pages seem to be working now without cisco.
until next time.

Send pages document as pdf attachment without including the whole document in the message

What I am trying to do is to write a document in pages then send it as a pdf attachment which shows as a mail icon in the mail message. One then clicks on the icon and the attached file opens. Seems I can do it if I send it as a word doc but every time I try and send it as a PDF the whole document shows up in the email body....
Is there something I am not doing?
Thanks
Bryan

Hi Gee,
We also tried this:
Wrote document in Pages and used "export" to save it as a PDF document.
Fired up Mail, clicked on add attachment and as usual we got the document in the body
Highlighted the document and right clicked.
In drop down menu we selected "show as Icon" and it did just that
We then sent it to our Tablet where, believe it or not it came up as an attachment NOT in the body of the mail.
Just shaking our heads on this on but I do really think Jerry is absolutely right so will not take any more chances and add a second page if I have to send a pdf......

I can't send Pages documents over Skype

I try to send a Pages document over Skype, but it says words to the effect "Only regular data files can be sent". I tried to zip it using the contextual menu create archive command, all I got was a beep. My wife swears that she can't even send them as attachments. Could someone enlighten us here, what are we doing wrong? Thanks for your help.
Regards, NIck.

I try to send a Pages document over Skype, but it
says words to the effect "Only regular data files can
be sent".
Pages documents are actually a folder of files. So they can't just be attached to an email and sent. The solution is to first compress the document and send it as a zip/archive file. Thankfully, Mail in 10.4 does this automatically but other mail programs don't.
I tried to zip it using the contextual menu
create archive command, all I got was a beep.
Do you mean you couldn't create an archive in Mac OS X? Or that Skype beeped when trying to transfer the file?
If you mean Skype couldn't transfer the file then this would be a Skype problem. .zip files are a PC and Mac standard, so there's not reason they couldn't be emailed or shared via Skype.

Why won't my pages documents open?

So recently I tried to open up pages. If I click on the icon on the bottom, it won't work. It also has a weird black ring around the top. When I try to open up any other pages documents through Finder I get a message saying "the document "____" could not be opened. The file isn't in the correct format."
How do I fix this??? Help please!!!!!

If you bought it on disk then it was installed inside the iWork folder inside the Applications folder. If it is no longer there and Pages documents no longer open then you have apparently managed to trash it.
Reinstall from the DVD is probably the fastest way to get it all back working, make sure you update iWork after the install, the DVD version will not be the latest.
It sounds also like you need to learn more about using your Mac. There are classes at the AppleStore and also tutorials in the general Support section of Apple's website, the one you see before you get into these communities.

Cannot send Pages document in attachment in Gmail

Hi,
I’m trying to send a Pages 5.0.1 document in Mac Mail using a Gmail adress. The document cannot be sent because of the following error:
“The server response was: This message was blocked because its content presents a potentialsecurity issue. Please visit http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?answer=6590 to review our message content and attachment contentguidelines.”
Please take notice:
1) I can send photos or PDF documents without a problem. I have successfully sent Page 09 documents as well.
2) To be sure, I have created an emtpy Pages 5.0.1 document (no character entered). 40MB. It will not send. Same error.
Thank you,
P.

I get the same result here with Gmail and as you have found out, exporting the pages document to pages '09 works fine.
Sending feed back to Apple would be good. I will too.

Unable to send Pages documents as attachments through Mail. Gmail considers them security risks?

Gmail will not accept Pages documents as attachments - the server will not accept them, apparently as security risks. This is the new version of Pages. Any ideas?

Apple has changed the file format in Pages 5 and Gmail, Google and DropBox are all having trouble with it. I believe DropBox may have fixed it but the others are still unable to transfer the files.
Did you previously have the older Pages/iWork? In which case it should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
Use that.
Peter
