When open Firefox 8, says 'Unable to connect' and no websites work. Internet connection is fine. Please help :(
My Firefox automatically updated to Firefox 8. Since doing so, when I open the browser the screen displays a box saying 'Unable to connect' and says the same for any website. My internet connection is fine. I uninstalled and installed Firefox again, but problem persists. Please help as this is really frustrating me :(
Did you try this?
'''Remove Firefox from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs, then add it back.'''
Some Firewalls don't specify which version of Firefox is permitted. <br />New version of Firefox = new executable was installed = new permission is needed

hello, why is all of my music on my iphone but only a few songs on my itunes on my laptop? it seems like its not updating on my laptop because it still says i have credit and i know i that there isnt any please help thanks
If they are iTunes purchases that you bought on your phone then have you copied them over from it to your computer's iTunes ? If that is the computer that you sync the phone to then you should be able to copy them over by connecting it and doing File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. Or (depending upon what country that you are in) you might be able to redownload them directly on your computer's iTunes via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage.
In terms of your account's balance, have you tried logging out of your account on your computer (Store > Sign Out menu option) and then logging back in (it will change to a Store > Sign In option) and seeing if your balance changes ? -
everytime i try to download itunes it says rolling back action and error . i dont know what to do please help . P.S. i have windows 8
Hello there Unicornbarf534,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you are unable to successfully install iTunes. I recommend the troubleshooting instructions in this article named:
Trouble installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1926
Here is a general outline of where the troubleshooting will take you:
General installation troubleshooting
1. Empty your Temp directory and restart
2. Completely remove iTunes and related components
3. Install the latest version of iTunes
Additional troubleshooting
After performing each of the steps below, you will need to completely remove iTunes and related components and then install iTunes again to determine whether the issue is resolved.
1. Make sure you have administrator account access
2. Make sure your folder names don't contain strange characters
3. Get the latest Windows updates
4. Disable other conflicting software
Additional Information
If you only need to install QuickTime, or if iTunes installs but QuickTime installation did not complete
Try downloading and installing the standalone version of QuickTime from http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/. Be sure you download the version that does not include iTunes.
If the steps outlined in this article don't help, you may be able to find a solution to your issue by searching the Microsoft support website.
All the best,

My iPad says it's connected to the wifi but nothing loads. My xbox and cable box connect and work just fine.
Hey JnastyCL,
Thanks for the question. The following resource outlines the basic troubleshooting steps for Wi-Fi connectivity. I have also included the steps specific to the symptoms you are experiencing:
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Be sure you're in range of your Wi-Fi router (access point).
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and on. If your W-Fi setting is dimmed, follow these steps.
Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and cable or DSL modem are connected to power, turned on, and connected to the Internet. If not, refer to your network administrator or Internet service provider (ISP) for assistance.
Restart your iOS device.
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.
Tap and Forget this Network.
Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
Note: You may need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your network requires one.
Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
Update your device to the latest version of software.
Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware. For AirPort Base Stations, install updates using the AirPort Utility.
Unable to access the Internet while connected to Wi-Fi
If you're using a public or commercial network, you may need to log in or subscribe.
Check to see if you have a self-assigned IP address:
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected and tap ( i ) .
If your IP address is 169.254.xxx.xxx, you may not be able to access the Internet.
If you do not have a self-assigned IP address, see if other Wi-Fi devices on your network have Internet access.
If they do not, consult with your network administrator or ISP for further assistance.
If they do, reset network settings on your device by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
recently used Bluetooth accessories
VPN and APN settings
Thanks,

Safari, Firefox, Itunes and Update stop working, internet connection is properly working
I have a 15 month old MacBook with OS X 10.6.7.
Since two days, Safari and Firefox stop working after browsing through a few (randomly chosen) pages. That is: initially, things seem to work ok (a bit slower maybe), but after a while the page loading progress bar (in blue) gets stuck, and so does the browser. By then Itunes and Software Update don't work either. I get the error message: You are not connected to the internet.
Sometimes, the programs start working again after a while
When going to system preferences / network / Assist me / diagnostics, I get the report that the internet connection is working properly (it is, because I can type this on my other laptop).
Using a tip from the Appel support community, I also tried Assist me / assistant, and set up the network again. Same problems arise.
I have tried a few more things:
- Clean up the system from additional programs
- Backed up files and removed them to create extra space
Although I do not know if it is related to teh above problem, we did experience a slower startup of the MacBook in the past few weeks.
Is there anybody who can help us with this?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions/explanations.This my sound too simple, but I just kept clikning on the arrow next to the selected music and it finally "Kicked" in.
I live in Europe ,So Be persistent and don't give up ! Aug. 2013 -
Airport connected but can't get internet....PLEASE HELP!!!
I am a college student who went to college and used an apple airport base station for my mbp and everything worked fine, and before i went to school i used my parents linksys wireless router and it all worked fine. i came home from college today and used the internet (over the linksys router) for about 5 minutes, then came back a few hours later. after i came back my computer said i was connected via airport to the linksys router but i cant load any page at all with any internet browser, also aim and msn messenger wont work. when i get on the internet i get this message "safari can’t open the page “http://www.yahoo.com/”. The error was: “lost network connection” (NSURLErrorDomain:-1005) Please choose Report Bug to Apple from the Safari menu, note the error number, and describe what you did before you saw this message." i can connect if i plug my mbp in and i have tried the network diagnostics for airport several times, and it comes back saying that i am connected and it is all working fine, but its not. any help would be great. thanks.
I have the same problem...New MacBook Pro connects fine to Airport at home. Shows connected to WPA network at work but no Internet connectivity - or it takes a VERY long time to pull anything up. Have run the Network Diagnostics successfully and Mac thinks it is connected, but still not able to reach web sites.
Have followed instructions here: Article ID: 106799 Mac OS: Long Delay Before Web Pages Start to Load, Then Load Suddenly at Normal Speed without success. Can hardwire my MacBook Pro and use the network in this way.
I am a network admin and I set-up the wireless so I am familiar with the details, but am truly baffled why my Mac will not connect to the Internet. -

When I click on the Firefox icon The page comes up white and in the middle it says "Firefox has errored and has stopped running". Then it looks to windows for a solution but finds none.
I am not a Windows 7 user, or particularly familiar with that error message but maybe it is worth looking at these articles

Having tried to ask this question it didn't recognise my account, so have now created another one, with the same email address, just to ask this question, it doesn't make sense.
* "Clear the Cache": Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
* "Remove the Cookies" from sites that cause problems: Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

So from yesterday i started getting random crashes with Firefox and at one point it had froze my screen for a few minutes, now today when i attempted to get into my browser there is about 5 seconds before it instantly closes and sends me a crash reporter, i have tried re-installing and system restore AND trying to use safe mode but it still crashes, is anyone experiencing the same problem?
We're sorry to hear that your Firefox seems to be crashing when you open it. Please perform the following steps to give us a crash report ID that helps us find out more about the cause of the crash.
#Press the following shortcut to get a Run window: [Windows] + [R]. This should bring up a window that contains a text field.
#In that text field, enter %APPDATA% and press Enter. An explorer window should open.
#From that explorer window, double-click on the ''Mozilla'' folder, then double-click on ''Firefox'' and then on ''Crash reports''. Double-click on ''submitted''.
#Now, you should see a list of files that contain reports. Go to ''View'' > ''Arrange Icons by'' > ''Modified'' to get the most recent files at the top of the window.
#Open the most recent 5 files with a text editor and copy the IDs.
#Paste each ID with '''bp-''' into the reply window on the forums.
Thanks in advance!
