When i Start Firefox I get the following error message: Could not initiate the application's secutity component. Then I am unable to open any websites.

It says the mostly likely cause is problems with files in your application's profile directory.

Hi,
Please try this: '''Help''' ('''Alt''' + '''H''') > '''Troubleshooting Information''', click '''Open Containing Folder'''. This opens your [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder & Files]. Exit Firefox and rename '''cert8.db''', '''secmod.db''' and '''key3.db''' in the profile folder. You can delete them later.

  • I keep getting the following error message: "Could not initialize the application's security component." Firefox then crashes when I try to enter a secure website. Help?

    The exact error message is: "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.

I am on a MacBook and have been using Firefox for years without any problem until now.

    Can you access other apps? Can you acess the internet? Can you access applications that use internet besides facebook?
    If answer is yes to all of these; contact Facebook.

    When I attempt to purchase a song from itunes, I keep getting the following error message: Could not purchase "song name". An unknown error occurred (-42408). There was an error in the itunes store. Please try again later
    Can anyone help solve this problem?

    I've done a search on here and haven't found any solutions posted for it for windows computers. You could try posting in the iTunes For Windows forum and see if you get any suggestions in there (are you able to download other items from the store e.g. a free app ?) - I use a Mac, the only things that I could think of to suggest trying is see if you get the same error on a different iTunes library :
    creating and/or opening a different iTunes library : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1589
    or using a different user account on your computer in case it's a problem with that user account.
    But you may want to try the iTunes For Windows forum first, apart from anything else you are likely to get better help for the above

  • Moving files to another directory got an error message [File System Task] Error: An error occurred with the following error message: "Could not find a part of the path.".

    Hi all,
    I am having a list of files in a folder named datafiles and I am processing them one by one when I finish each one I want to move the file into a folder archive.
    I am having a variable named filename and archivefilename and two fileconnections  one is originalfiles and archivefiles
    archivefilename=replace( @[User::filename],"datafiles","archive")
    orginalfiles connection is an expression =@user:filename
    archivefies connection is an expression=@user:archivefilename
    the filename comes from reading the folder that contains those files
    public void Main()
                string[] filenames;
                filenames = Directory.GetFiles(@"C:\luminis\datafiles\");
                Array.Sort(filenames);
                Dts.Variables["filelist"].Value = filenames;
                Dts.TaskResult = (int)ScriptResults.Success;
    The folder c:\luminis\archive\ exists
    why I am getting this error
    My filesystem task : destinationpathvariable =false
    destinationconnection:archivefile
    overwrite=true
    operation=movefile

    there may be 2 problem...
    1> specify a target directory only, not with the file name. 
    OR
    2> Try using the unc,path format \\computername\sharename\

    If you are working with a file you modified in Lightroom, you should go to the Lightroom Photo menu and choose Edit in... and the version of Photoshop you want to open it in.
    There a dialog will ask if you want to transfer the LR settings you made to your photo when you open in Photoshop.

    In Mac OS X v10.7, the $HOME/Library folder is a hidden folder.
    Open Finder and use one of these:
    * Go > Go To Folder (Shift-Command-G) and in the dialog type: ~/Library
    * Open the "Go" menu and hold down the Option key to make the Library appear
    You can also use this command in a Terminal window to remove the hidden flag.

  • HT201328 after unlocking from ATT and resetting iphone 3gs I keep getting the same error message "could not activate phone" neither Apple Store Tech or ATT were able to fix this . Any ideas?? TKS Sandro

    after unlocking over the phone from ATT and resetting iphone 3gs I keep getting the same error message "could not activate phone" neither Apple Store Tech or ATT were able to fix this .
    Itunes displays a message saying "there is no SIM installed in the phone you're trying to activate" even if there is the same SIM that was working minutes before.
    The SIM works on a different phone I tested it.
    Any ideas?? TKS Sandro

    “Could Not Activate EDGE” error message Update ...
    Well it’s going on day 6 and still sporadic to no EDGE on my iPhone. At one time, it was thought to be a defective iPhone – since my partner’s iPhone works just fine.
    After over three hours on the land line with AT&T and Apple, I was sent to the local Apple store for a replacement. Of course, as soon as I walked into the Apple store my iPhone worked just fine. ;-( The local store replaced my iPhone and suggested I go home and activate the phone as a NEW iPhone, that way if there was a bug in my data it would not carry over to the new phone. Did that and well… still sporadic to no EDGE. By the way, I have the Big White “E” to the right of the 5 bars and AT&T .
    AT&T said last week they has “Software” issues in my area, but the CSR I talked to did not know what the issues were or if they were the cause of my problems. He did say they would call me back today to see how my iPhone was doing, but alas, no call back.
    When I’m next to my partner, trying to access the same feature, his iPhone is just so fast. Mine hangs up, draws out and finally I get the error message, “Could Not Activate EDGE”. I am updated to version “1.1.4(4A102)”. New (refurbished) iPhone direct from Apple.
    I remember reading a while back about some problems others had when they upgraded to from 1.1.3 to 1.1.4. I never had those problems, but it sure looks like they may have started. Does anyone remember what the problems with 1.1.4 were, what was done if anything to correct them, and best of all any suggestions?
    By the way, this is Seattle, not some small – out of the way place where connection and signal strength is expected to be second rate. Also, I had full function of my iPhone from the day I bought it in June 2007, all the way up to Thursday March 20, at 2120.
    Thanks

    someone plz help me to overcome this.

    Installing the appropriate combo update may help...
    If you are running v10..7 Lion, install the OS X Lion Update 10.7.4 (Client Combo)
    For 10.6 Snow Leopard >  Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
    Then restart your Mac. Try the App Store.
    If that doesn't help, try the following..
    Quit the App Store if it's open.
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar top of your screen click Go > Go to Folder
    Type this exactly as you see it here:
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
    Click Go
    Move the NetworkInterfaces.plist file from the SystemConfiguration folder to the Trash.
    Relaunch the App Store and try downloading Mountain Lion.
    You may also need to disable anti virus software and turn off the Firewall in System Preferences > Security (or Security & Privacy) > Firewall
