When attempting to downlad Firefox, a message pops up stating "server not found"

I somehow picked up some malware MP3Tube which I (and many others) have found to be extremely annoying and very difficult to get rid of. I found that this program inserts itself in the 'home' part of Firefox, so I deleted Firefox entirely to get rid of it and attempted to download a current version of Firefox, I have been unsuccessful in downloading due to the popup message stating "unable to find server."

  • I tried to set up my new ipod shuffle and a error message popped up saying Ipod not found cannot update.  I can't sync my ipod now but it is showing on itunes.  What should I do?

    I bought a new 4th gen ipod shuffle and tried to sdet it up last night.  I installed the latest itunes software and started to sync my ipod, but error boxes kept popping up saying ipod not found cannot sync.  It was showing in itunes, then it would disappear, then it would come back.  I am not very good with computers so I don't know what to do.  Can someone help?

    Do you have an iCloud backup?  If you backed up your old phone to iCloud you can go to Settings>General>Reset>Erast All Content & Settings (which will erase your phone), then go back through the setup screens again and when prompted choose Restore From iCloud Backup.  However your backup won't contain everything in your iTunes library (such as your music) so you'll need to be able to sync with your computer unless you purchased everything from iTunes and want to redownload it to your phone.

  • Most times when trying to access web sites get page stating Server Not Found..... Try Again. As soon as I hit try again I always get the web site - annoying!!!

    When I try to google websites OR even try to access my email I will be taken to a notice which states "Server Not Found" with several explanations with a TRY AGAIN button at the bottom. When I hit the try again button I am immediately taken to the web site or to my email. This happens constantly and very rarely can I access a web site or my email without this frame popping up.

    This is a very generic error message. 
    What user you are trying to search. Are you using username, display name or email address when searching
    Was any domain related changed done
    What if that users tried to logon to sharepoint site. 
    Does this error occur with all the account when you click edit? If not, based on the error,

  • Firefox and Internet explorer both show server not found

    Internet explorer and fire fox both show server not found on all websites even though I have good full bar internet connection and also it's not the Internet because I can access my emails thanks
    '''moderator fixed the title of this thread''

    Hi,
    Could you explain the issue with Firefox Desktop or Mobile?
    In the Question you mentioned "Internet Explorer" and in the Thread product you mention "Firefox Android"
    If its Firefox Android, try the below steps
    Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
    The Firefox cache temporarily stores images, scripts, and other parts of websites while you are browsing. <br>
    Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
    To clear cache and cookies, do the following:
    #Tap the menu icon located at the top right corner. This is the icon with 3 bars. On older Android devices you'll have to press the hardware menu key and then tap More.
    #Tap '''Settings'''.
    #After that, you will be taken to the settings screen. In the settings screen, look under the section '''''Privacy & Security''''' and select '''Clear private data'''.
    #You will then be taken to a list of what can be cleared. Select the following 2 for deletion:
    #*Cookies & active logins
    #*Cache
    #After those have been selected, tap the '''Clear data''' button to actually clear the cache and cookies.

    You can try to reset (power off/on) the router.
    Another 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.

  • When i click Firefox a message pops"profile not found" i tried uninstalling and re installing. Nothing works.

    I have tried everything but nothing works. when i click Firefox icon a error message pops up saying"profile not found or installed" I installed Firefox so many times but the same error comes again and again.I need help really fast.Please help me. And thank you in advance.

    reinstalling firefox won't help in this situation since it seems to be an issue with your filesystem or something preventing firefox from properly accessing the essential information stored in its profile.
    if the work around from above (renaming the "Mozilla" folder within %appdata%) didn't work, you could also use the portable version of firefox: http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable

  • Error "kdc: Server not found in database" on attempted connections using Network User Credentials

    I am rebuilding my system after a recent debacle with Time Machine, which resulted in a complete wiping of my Open Directory contents. At this point, users can log into various computers on the network, when the hosts have been reconnected to the newly formed Open Directory and the trust certificate has been authorized.  However, when users attempt to connect to any file share, the Network User Account credentials fail to gain access.
    I am running Mac OS X 10.9.4 on all systems. Two mac-mini's are running OS X Server 3.1.2.  One of these servers (mavericks1.pediatricheartcenter.org) is the Open Directory.  While testing the system, I am using the console on "Mavericks1," so the following discussion involves communication between the two server hosts only.
    From Mavericks1, I open the console and attempt to connect to my file server, named fileserver.pediatricheartcenter.org.  I clear the console just prior to sending a "registered user" request to "FileServer" to gain access.  Careful examination of the console records shows the following:
    1. The Network User is authorized with a message "ENC-TS pre-authentication succeeded".
    2. Mavericks1 lists a console message that reads "kdc: Server not found in database: krbtgt/[email protected]:no such entry found in hdb"
    3. Mavericks1 lists a console message that reads "kdc: Server not found in database: cifs/[email protected]: no such entry found in hdb"
    4. The process registers what appears to be a final failure before trying again with "kdc: Failed building TGS-REP to 127.0.0.1:64390"
    FileStorage.local does not exist in the DNS, nor does it exist on FileStorage.pediatricheartcenter.org. That (local) host name was removed when the domain host name for filestorage.pediatricheartcenter.org was created.
    1. Why does the kerberos process reference a host name that does not exist?
    2. What might be causing the failed authentication exchange?
    3. What can be done to remedy the issue?

    I spent some time on the phone with Apple Support on Friday.  Thank you to Linc Davis for providing some insights into the issues.
    As a result of the conversation with Apple Support we learned the following, which I will report here for those who might find this page again:
    First, OpenDirectories are extremely fragile.  Once you have turned on your OpenDirectory, do not do any of the following:
    Do NOT change the host name.
    Do NOT change the IP address.
    If you are going to attempt either of these things, you should make a clone of your drive (not just a TimeMachine backup, a fully bootable clone, just in case).
    Performing these activities (particularly the changing of the host name) will "break" your open directory, and the only way to rebuild the open directory is first to fully destroy the original.  Several services are also destroyed when OpenDirectory is broken, the most notable is Profile Manager.
    DESTROYING OPEN DIRECTORY
    To fully destroy OpenDirectory, it is more complex than simply turning off the OpenDirectory and turning it back on again.  Perform the following steps:
    Install WorkGroup Manager (it is depricated, but Apple still has a version available for use with OS X Mavericks to handle functions that the Server App does not perform like exporting users and groups).
    Sign into WorkGroup Manager as the directory administrator (user name defaults to "diradmin" the password is defined on OpenDirectory creation).
    Export the Users, Groups, Computers and Computer Groups to the Desktop or another safe location.
    Close WorkGroup Manager
    Turn off the OpenDirectory in Server App.
    Delete the Server App from the Applications folder and put it in the Trash. (This will disable any active services that are marking various files as being currently in use. Don't worry, we will restore it from the Trash when we are done).
    In the terminal, run the following command: sudo slapconfig -destroyldapserver
    Make a backup of all website files (just in case)
    Navigate to the folder /Library/Server and delete the ProfileManager folder. (If you willing to do so, delete the whole Server folder).
    After deleting various folders in the /Library/Server directory, restore the Server.app from the Trash.
    Run the Server App.
    Set the computer's network connection and host name.
    Create a new OpenDirectory.
    Use WorkGroup Manager to import any exported files from Step 3.
    If you deleted the entire Server directory, use the website backup to retrieve the files that comprise your web site(s) and use the Server App to link the file directories to the Web site's domain name(s).
    Personal Note: These instructions got me farther than any other tips I had received previously. After following these instructions, I was able to rebuild my Open Directory. During the process of copying files from the old user home folders into the new user home folders, the computer froze and when it rebooted, all the users and groups I had created during the day had disappeared. Rather than trouble-shooting it again, I decided to do a fresh installation.
    A NOTE ON HOME FOLDERS
    PER APPLE SUPPORT: Do NOT use the default /Users directory for Network users. Apple Support wanted me to rebuild the home directory, but they noted I was not able to do this, because I had used /Users.  This folder ("/Users") is a critical component of the OS X system, and will cause additional problems if the folder is destroyed and rebuilt.  The directory id and permissions must remain unchanged from the original installation.
    For this reason, Server administrators (like yourself) should use File Sharing in the Server App to create a new anchor point for home directories.  Create a shared folder. Ensure that it is shared over the protocols that you will be using (AFP, SMB, WebDav), and then after selecting these values, check the box that allows the folder to be used as a home directory at the bottom of this list.  This box will be greyed out if the system is not already bound to an OpenDirectory. If you have activated OpenDirectory on the same machine, the machine will operate as if bound to itself, and this field will be active.  If the FileShare server is NOT an OpenDirectory master or replica, then bind the machine to an OpenDirectory via the "System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Options".
    If the local area network has FileShares that are enabled for home directory use, the folders will appear in the User Profile editor under the Home Folder list (See image)
    In the screenshot above, I have selected a shared directory named "HomeFolders".  By using specially defined home folder directory, the server administrator has the option of deleting and modifying the home folder if necessary.  Creating a home folder directory in a location other than "/Users" is the recommended best practice by Apple Support.
    If you are inserting files into the home folders, you will need to change the owner and the group to the new owners names.  I copied files from the old user directories into the new user directories so that the users would have access to their old files.  When my OpenDirectory crashed, and all the users were recreated, they were recreated with different system level user id's.  The system therefore maintains a memory that the file was owned by the original owner, even though the system administrator has put it in the new user profile's folder.  To fix this, do the following:
    1. Prior to making the copy, run "ls -al" from the terminal on the new home directory root.  You are looking for the default folder owner and default folder group.  On my system it was the user name and a group named "staff".
    2. When making the copy, do not replace the user folder. Copy the files into the file folder, not over it.
    3. After you have moved files into the user's folders, you can use "sudo chown -R [owner]:[group] [homeFolderPath]/*" and "sudo chmod -R 700 [homeFolderPath]/*" (replace the [owner] and [group] portions of these commands with the owners and groups identified by the command in step 1, and replace [homeFolderPath] with a path to the user directory created for the specific user.
    For example:
    For the user johnnybgood, we might see the following:
    1. We run "ls -al" on the newly created home folder and find that the folder /Volumes/HomeFolders/johnnybgood is owned by johnnybgood and the group "staff".
    2. We copy or move files from the old locations using commands similar to the following:
           sudo mv /OldFolderLocation/johnnybgood/Documents/* /Volumes/HomeFolders/johnnybgood/Documents
           sudo mv /OldFolderLocation/johnnybgood/Desktop/* /Volumes/HomeFolders/johnnybgood/Desktop
           sudo mv /OldFolderLocation/johnnybgood/Music/* /Volumes/HomeFolders/johnnybgood/Music
           ....etc....
           (notice how we are not just moving the old johnnybgood folder to the new location.)
    3. Next, we change the ownership and file permissions:
           sudo chown -R johnnybgood:staff /Volumes/HomeFolders/johnnybgood/Documents
           sudo chown -R johnnybgood:staff /Volumes/HomeFolders/johnnybgood/Desktop
           sudo chown -R johnnybgood:staff /Volumes/HomeFolders/johnnybgood/Music
           ...etc...
           sudo chmod -R 700 /Volumes/HomeFolders/johnnybgood/Documents
           sudo chmod -R 700 /Volumes/HomeFolders/johnnybgood/Desktop
           sudo chmod -R 700 /Volumes/HomeFolders/johnnybgood/Music
           ...etc...
    4. Let the user log in and use the system normally.

  • Video images won't load, error message says "problem loading page/server not found

    when i select videos to watch, they have symbol in the top left hand corner but blank everywhere else. if i right click on the symbol i get an error message "problem loading page/server not found" but i'm already logged in to the website. this just started happening today after having watched 100's of videos for years on the same sites. i haven't changed any settings that i know of, but i have tried several different troubleshooting tips but nothing helps. i have windows xp. and i use firefox exclusively. what can i do?

    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
    *In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    *In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''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 [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    Please report your results.

  • Can I go back to the old look of the 'server not found' error messages?

    After updating to Firefox 32, I noticed that the 'server not found' error messages now look differently. I don't like the new look, so I wonder if you know about an add-on that restores the old look. I've tried searching for it, but I don't know the proper name of these error messages, so I'm not sure what search phrase I should use.

    After restarting my computer firefox is deleted for Windows, when i try to open firefox a message pops up saying the program has been moved from its original location and is unable to run How do I get Firefox on my computer permanently?

    I have tried everything I could to fix this, but some things require actually being on Firefox, and since I cannot get on, I cannot click on the tabs to do it. I have even totally uninstalled firefox, and that has not fixed this. I still get the same message that firefox is running and I need to close it or restart (which I have also tried dozens of times). I have removed things like Java, and that has not helped either. If I cannot even get on line in firefox, how can I fix this. I am not crazy about using internet explorer, but right now, it is my only option. I even tried to start in safe mode, and the same message box pops up!

    Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
    Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Application Support" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post. (If you've got XP, although the procedure is for Vista and 7, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things.)
