Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the ''Safe mode'' start window.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

Error message when firefox opens

I was unable to load firefox. It gave a message that firefox was running and that i needed to restart my computer. I did that several times and it still did not work. When I restarted the computer it recommended I restore due to issues, I did so and then Firefox would not loaded. So then I uninstalled firefox and reinstalled it. After uninstalling, I get the message above, but after i click ok, it does allow me to use firefox, but i have concerns.
error message: Could not initialize the application's security component. The most likely cause is problems with files in your application's profile directory. Please check that this directory has no read/write restrictions and your hard disk is not full or close to full. It is recommended that you exit the application and fix the problem. If you continue to use this session, you might see incorrect application behaviour when accessing security features.

Make sure that you allow the loopback connection that Firefox uses to communicate with the software security device in the firewall.
See [[Firefox makes unrequested connections]]
Rename secmod.db (secmod.db.old) in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder] in case there is a problem with the file. 
You may have to rename cert8.db (cert8.db.old) as well. 
Firefox will create new files.
The file cert8.db stores user certificates and intermediate certificates send by websites, so if you have certificates that you want to keep then you may want to export them now and import them after having removed cert8.db.
See Tools > Options > Advanced > Encryption: Certificates: View Certificates
If that works then you can delete the renamed files or undo the changes if you want to revert the process.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.

''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''

'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

I am getting a 'MIDI timeout' error message when I open garageband. I am not using any other apps so why is this happening. Restarting does not solve the issue.

I am getting a 'MIDI timeout' error message when I open garageband. I am not using any other apps so why is this happening. Restarting does not solve the issue.

I get this message when I open Firefox and when I go between tabs.
TypeError: PC_PREF_OBJ is undefined
I have tried to re-install, but that doesn't help.

If you close Firefox, then start Firefox in Safe Mode, does the problem still occur? For instructions on starting in Safe Mode, see [[Safe Mode]].
Extensions can sometimes be the cause of problems. If the problem does not occur in [[Safe Mode]], then you can disable your extensions one-by-one until you find out which one is causing the problem.
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]

Thanks, Ed Williams

To Remove plug-in
1.) Open the SplashID desktop app
2.) Navigate from Menu bar "File" -> "Plugin for Safari" -> "Uninstall".
I could not find it in either Library/Internet Plug-ins nor ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins as others have suggested.
Cheers!

Weird Error Message when Trying to Install iTunes 10

I had to uninstall iTunes recently because it was getting an error message when I tried to open it and that message suggested I remove and reinstall it. Now when I try to install iTunes 10 (I had a lower version before, iTunes 9.something), I get this message:
An error occured during the installation of assmebly 'Microsoft.VC80.CRT,version="8.0.50727.4053",type="win32",publicKeyToken="1fc8b 3b9a1e18e3b",processorArchitecture="x76"'. Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT: 0x8007054F
I absolutely hate messages like these, you can't do anything with them and it makes you feel like the problem is unfixable. Hopefully that's not the case because until this is fixed I have no iTunes or Quicktime.

Through my own cunning and genius, I have found the way for someone else to guide me step-by-step exactly what to do.
For anybody else having this problem, GO HERE: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;946414
The solution is that "Regedit" thing where you delete certain parts of your registry and then restart your computer. Just do like it says there and you'll be good to go. Finally, this nightmare of epic proportions is over, and I can get back to playing airsoft.

I get an error message when I open Lightroom

I get an error message when opening Lightroom"Lightroom has encountered an error when reading from its preview cache and needs to quit.
Lightroom will attempt to fix this problem the next time it launches" the problem does not correct when re opening lightroom

Are you getting the exact same message as was stated in the first message in this thread? Have your operating system search for a file whose name ends with .LRCAT, but do not delete this file. Delete the Previews.LRDATA that is in the same folder.
Or are you getting a different message?

I get an error message when I open Firefox.

When opening Firefox, this message appears: getPlusPlus_Adobe_reg.exe - Application Error. The instruction at "0x00000000" referenced memory at "0x00000000". The memory could not be "read". This may be a reason why I can't download Adobe Flash Player, and perhaps for some other problems I may not be aware of.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== a few days ago. Not sure why.

Get rid of Adobe DLM (Download Manager, aka getPlus). It causes problems for a lot of users and you do NOT NEED IT. Right now it is showing in Tools > Add-ons > Extensions. It is also showing as a plugin, getplusplusadobe16263, in Tools > Add-ons > Plugins. Here's how to get rid of it, hopefully: http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb10-08.html
When you go to an Adobe page that gives you a warning and an "Allow" button just below the tabs, if you click that "Allow" button it will download the Adobe DLM and not the product you were trying to download. Adobe DLM is then supposed to download the product. But it just doesn't work, every time, the way it is supposed to.
When you need to update an Adobe product, post back here for detailed instructions and ask how to do so with getting Adobe DLM.
Right now you are current on Adobe Flash (aka Shockwave Flash) and Adobe Reader (aka Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox). You can check them here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/

I am getting an error message when I open Firefox 5 (Win.Vista) "TypeError:Components.classes[cid] is undefined." How can I get rid of this? Thank you.

Only started since the upgrade. Windows Vista Home 32 bit.
The error message reads:
"TypeError:Components.classes[cid] is undefined."

Try the suggested idea above. I just disabled all the add-ons which were not compatible with FF 5 and did a FF restart. That fixed the problem. I then enabled each one, one at a time, with a FF restart until the problem came back. I then disabled that add-on.

Weird error message when loading songs to Shuffle

Hello,
I'm getting a little bit p.o.'d with the Shuffle I bought for my husband for Christmas.
Here is what's happening and what all I've done since last night...
Happening: I get the Shuffle to show up in the iTunes source list and can load it with 5 songs and then each time I try and drag another song onto it, I get the following error message:
"The iPod "MyPod" cannot be updated. The required disc cannot be found."
When I select the Shuffle from the source list, the songs I tried to load and received this message with show up with a grey circle/dot next to the number that the particular song would be in the Shuffle's list.
At first I thought maybe it was happening because a long time ago I had another computer and burned a disc of all the songs I purchased from the iTunes Music Store and then dragged into iTunes library on my new computer. So then I bought a new song last night and the same thing happened, same error message.
Here's what I've done so far:
I have removed/reinstalled iTunes 6 and the iPod updater. A couple times last night when trying to restore the Shuffle to factory settings, it didn't show up in the updater. I've trashed the plist files, repaired permissions, removed the iPodDriver.kext file, as told to do so in an Apple article.
I'm getting a wee bit frustrated and am hoping to get some help from all of your people here on the discussions!
I also noticed that none of these problems happen with my iPod Mini, just the Shuffle. Since I just got it yesterday, I will phone Apple support this morning when they open and will post back anything I learn, but I'm hoping someone here can help me (us) out before having to deal with Apple---I'm about to pull out my hair here and that's just not a good look for the Holidays, you know?!
Happy Holidays everyone!
Mary

Hi srb,
Actually my iPod Mini is called Mary's iPod and the Shuffle is called MyPod. They both show up in iTunes now and I found a "workaround" to get the songs on the shuffle, making a playlist and having the shuffle autoload from that list.
Thanks for the feedback and happy holidays!
Mary

Drive restriction group policy causes error message when accessing Open and Save As Dialog Boxes on Windows 8.1

We are running Windows 8.1 Pro x86
I am really curious as to why the drive restriction group policy causes the error message to pop up:
"This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator."
It does not prevent from actual saving so functionality is not lost but it really annoys our end users and we're getting a lot of complaints. We cannot use the workaround of hiding drives instead of restricting as this still presents security issues. This
is happens when saving (or clicking on a button like "Browse" that opens the 'Open' dialogue box) in all Office 2013 applications, Internet Explorer, Paint, Notepad, and probably most others. I've looked at many forums and no suggestions for workarounds
have succeeded for us to get rid of this error message and in fact, I read a post that stated that someone contacted Microsoft and they said this was by design and there is no workaround. I find this very unfortunate that we either have the choice of compromising
security or annoying our end users. It seems to me like the new dialogue box in Windows 8.1 (and maybe 8?) attempts to access the local drive under the logged in user's account before it actually opens up the dialogue box which conflicts with the group policy
that restricts access to the drive.
Has anyone at all had any luck getting this to go away without removing the restrictions? It seems like the answer is either buried in the Windows code or somewhere in the registry.
Thank you in advance for your time!

Thank you for your time and response! Unfortunately, we have the machine locked down pretty tight (they are public use computers that require heavy restriction) and it is set to restrict all drives so access is limited to the local profile. We did try
testing your method, however, by adding the Desktop as an allowed location in the Office policy (which would not solve the issue for the other applications but was good for a test) using the path %userprofile%\desktop. When choosing that location, it does
not throw the error but unfortunately, it does not remember like it did for your with the E: drive so it still always throws the error when first loading the dialogue box no matter what I do. If you're able to confirm that this is simply by design and we're
just expected to inform our users to click through the errors, then I guess that's the accepted answer. Although, do you think that there might be a registry key value that is set after you save to the E: drive for the first time? Maybe we could set that value
to %userprofile%\desktop if it's doing the redirection after the first save through registry. Thanks again!

I keep getting a error message when I open iTunes asking me to reinstall the 64 bit version. I have reinstalled but still get the message.

When I open iTunes I keep getting a error message asking me to reinstall iTunes 64 bit version. I have reinstalled but still get the message. Does anyone know a fix for this?

This is obviously a problem apple! Please look at your community boards and see that a number of people have issues with the latest update and sort out.
I have tried a number of times to install the update and have failed getting the same message as you. Tried with the 32 bit instead & no luck. Ive come on here to see if anyone else has a solution & found we all have the same problem. Someone else tried the old uninstall reinstall trick to no avail. Please sort this out apple!!
