We are still having problems with the "Could not initialize the application's security component" error message after performing suggested fixes?

We have been attempting to resolve this error in our Lab Environment with FireFox version 14.0.1. The application has been virtually installed in our PC environment, running WIN 7 and launches without error for most users. When performing the suggest "fixes" at http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/couldnt-initialize-applications-security-component we found:
1. There is adequate hard drive space
2. Permissions are set correctly.
3. Once the "Cert8" file is deleted it does not regenerate upon logging out and relaunching Firefox. Not sure why this occurs.
4. Could not create a new profile since these rights are not extended to users in the lab environment.
Is anyone using Firefox in a similar lab environment, having this same issue and been able to resolve the problem? Does version 15.0.1 address this problem and provide a fix?

Try to remove or rename the secmod.db (secmod.db.old) file in the Firefox Profile Folder.
If that didn't help then remove or rename cert8.db (cert8.db.old) as well.
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

Could not initialize the browser's security component Error message when sending a link

Using Ubuntu 9.10 64 bit. Firefox version is 3.6.3 and Thunderbird version is 2.0.0.24
When sending a link with Firefox I get an error message "Could not initialize the browser's security component...". Tried deleting the cert8.db and secmod.db. Noticed if Thunderbird is already open I don't get the error message. But if Thunderbird is closed then opens to send the link I get that error message. Seems the security certificates aren't being passed to Thunderbird when it is opening up.

Netflix: am having problems with the iPad on it. Error box pops up and tells me 'safari cannot connect: too many redirects'. Also the iPad freezes on netflix. Advise needed. Thnx.

Whew, this is driving me nuts. I use the iPad for nearly all my online connection. Dunno why netflix is not working well on it lately; it used to work well enough.

We have the same problem with download interruptions in our app v32.
And in addition it seems that every interruption of download leaves some unused data on device. When we try to continue the download, it mostly fails at the same point. But with every attempt the application takes more and more device space. It goes so far that we have three- or fourtimes more device space in use that is the common size of app and downloaded content, although we actually still didn't download the whole content. (We try also download the same folio with Adobe Content Viewer and it does the same.)
Finally we open the content and force to download remaining articles one by one with moving across the content manually. Articles where download fails we downloaded as last. It wasn't without problems but we have success after many attempts. In the end the device space used by app with content was enormous! When we deleted all content, used space was decreased by the size of folio, but the unused data wasn't removed until the whole application was deleted from iPad. We send it as bug report to Adobe.
Now we are in very bad situation, because our clients can't download their paid content. (Most of them hasn't so big patience as we had with downloading content.)
So we hope that dev team figure out soon what is going on or we are finished.

Adobe updates: I've gotten error messages when trying to download pdfs (very annoying). Read somewhere that mac os has problems with the adobe extensions, thus, causing error messages from adobe. I ignore the updates. Should I?

Hi All,
I have stopped updating adobe software b/c I read that the adobe update software inserts extensions into the mac software system, causing annoying/time consuming error messages when downloading new pdfs. I get adobe update notices 2-3x/week. What do you recommend? I use an iMac OS 10.94.
thanks for your help.

Preview will do all that and is part of the OS.

With Adobe, if it's working, then it should be fine. See here

HT5654 I had to remove my old version of itunes because I was having problems with the latest update. Now I am tryin to download the lates version and it keeps telling me I am not the administrator.How can I downdoad itunes?

How can I reinstall itunes without it telling me that I am not the administrator?

The iTunes app on your device is bundled with iOS.
The latest version of iTunes for your PC is 10.7:http://www.apple.com/itunes/
If you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your PC, and are still having trouble with the device, try this:
1. Connect your device to your computer.
2. Listen for the "new hardware found" beeps.
3. If you do not hear the beeps and if iTunes does not automatically start, try a different USB port.
4. If you still do not hear the beeps and iTunes does not run, try a different charging/docking cable.
5. If that fails, then try connecting your device to a different computer.
6. If this fails, the device is defective.

I am still having problems with my music videos freezing (all purchased from iTunes) since the update. Have restarted, rebooted etc. and it is worse than before. Help! Spent a lot of money on these and they won't play properly.

I am still having problems with my music videos freezing (all purchased on iTunes) since the update. The first day of the update, no problems...played 6 hours of music videos and no freezing. Today...every single video froze!!! So frustrating! I rebooted, restarted, powered down and no help. I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.

I don't know how to do this without using a mouse point.
This may help, http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000542.htm
As for question #2, you call tell how iTunes is sorting songs by the up or down arrow next to a header name.
Even the original order that the songs were entered or date added or last played can be sorted.
Much easier with a mouse or touch pad.

That means it is having trouble connecting to the network. Make sure location is set correctly. Go to settings - general - network and ensure DNS is set to automatic. Check that your router is up to date. If on wifi try Ethernet.

I am still having issues with the TOC. I finally got several chapters and sections to show different pictures in the TOC, but have spent hours trying to figure out how to repeat it. This should be so simple. Is there an update? Please help us Apple.

I am still having issues with the TOC pictures. I got several chapter/section photos to show up, but can't seem to repeat this success. It is some mystery that happened during a time that I had practically given up. This should be such a simple thing. Drag and place a picture into the placeholder and it shows up in the TOC....right? Help, help help! want to get this thing done and it's taken two days of work just get some of the photos to show up. I am going to have to publish this ibook with no photos in several sections.....why can't this be simple? I have even had someone else spend hours trying to figure this out. This software is such a GREAT idea....come on...help with this little part of it.

I had the same problem myself. I got to the point where I couldn't replace the photo, of a new chapter, in the TOC. What I did was to duplicate an existing chapter that was working and was able to replace it's TOC's photo. I also found that if you try different areas of the photo you can sometimes get it to replace correctly. For example, instead of dragging the new photo to the middle of an existing photo, try dragging it to the right top corner.

I had already update mi new factory unlocked iPhone 4S to iOS 5.1.1 and I still having problems with "invalid sim". I'm from Argentina and here we don't have official service. PLEASE HELP ME, WHAT CAN I DO??? In Argentina is too expensive an iPhone 4S.

I had already update mi new factory unlocked iPhone 4S to iOS 5.1.1 and I still having problems with "invalid sim". I'm from Argentina and here we don't have official service. PLEASE HELP ME, WHAT CAN I DO??? In Argentina is too expensive an iPhone 4S. Please I need help to continue believing in Apple. Thanks a lot. If anybody speak spanish better.

Was it purchased from an official Apple Store, not a reseller? Only Apple Stores sell official factory unlocked phones. The others sell hacked to unlock phones, and the unlocking is unstable.
Try these steps, as needed:
1. Reset phone - press both home and on/off buttons for at least 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears.
2. Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
3. Replace SIM card (and reset network settings again)
4. Restore Phone in iTunes using a backup
5. Restore in iTunes as new, without using a backup

Is anyone else having problems with the Canon Online Store?

In the last month or so, I've had one problem after another with the Canon Online Store; from being unable to delete items from the shopping cart; to not being able to add "in stock" items; disappearing Wish Lists; and just now, I tried to add one lens cap to the 6 or 7 items I already had in the Shopping Cart, and they disappeared.
I've called, more than once, and I've written, also more than once, to Canon Support about this, but they ignore what I tell them, and tell me there are no problems with the Online Store. They don't even seem to report to anyone that anyone has complained, because each time is "the first time", even though I've called (more than once) and written (more than once) to them about continuing Online Stores problems.
Is anyone else having problems with the Canon Online Store?
Why does Canon not care to track reported problems with the storefront part of their web-site?
I'm not trying to insult Canon, it's just that I've been a Canon customer for less than 3 months, and the're only batting .333, so far. Canon Support was very quick to respond about a concern I had that a 50mm f/1.4 I had just purchased was authentic or not. In trying to register that lens, I looked up on the Canon web site where to find the serial number. Since my new lens did not have any numbers there, I was concerned I had been sold a fake. But, then Canon Support sent me link to a different online document that showed a few different places where it might be, and there it was.
Is Canon like that with other problems, as well? Or is their "batting" average better than my very limited experience?
I just love my Rebel T5i, and my Canon lenses (from "the Kit brothers of the Cropped Frame coral": EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM, and EF-S 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM; to the "Truly Nifty Fifty", the 50mm f/1.4 USM, [the f/1.8 is just a "thrifty fifty"], and finally, the "Super-Macro" MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1x-5x Macro)!

Hi Danny. Thanks for replying.
I only use my desktop PC to access Canon's web site, and I've been using Mozilla Firefox for years. And, yes, it is the latest version. Since Canon REFUSES to support the use of Firefox on it's web site, WHAT BROWSER DOES CANON SUPPORT? WHEN did Canon STOP SUPPORTING Firefox?
I've been told that there are 2 pending orders in my account. Yet, I NEVER placed those orders! WHY CAN'T CANON SEE THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM???
Instead of off-target suggestions, and pasted boilerplate REFUSALS TO EVEN LOOK at this issue, I would prefer it if Canon went "old school", and FIXED THE PROBLEM, in the first place! But, maybe that's a bit too grown up of an answer for you!
"Award-winning" support??? And, just exactly WHAT AWARD did Canon "support" WIN for CONSISTANTLY IGNORING REPORTED PROBLEMS??? The OSTRICH?
Please pull your head out, and FIX this problem, OR YOU ARE THE PROBLEM!!!
Thank you for your "prompt" attention to this matter!
