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.

  • Recently downloaded latest version of iTunes software, afterwards, while trying to sync iphone with PC received this error message: Unable to Load Resource not found; SyncUICoreLocalized.dll; please advise, thank you

    Recently upgraded PC with latest edition of iTunes (1/30/2014), afterwards, received this error message while attempting to sync iphone with PC: Unable to load, resource not found, SyncUICoreLocalized.dll

    THIS HAS EVERY APPEARANCE OF A SOFTWARE GLITCH BY APPLE ... So first suggestion is NOT to begin reinstalling various software but to await some answer & fix from Apple.  Too many have same problem on various systems, in my view (I am not an Apple rep but have certainly faced many glitches over the years).
    PS - LOTS of Apple software problems these days, including many people having their Contacts shredded.  What's going on with Apple?

  • Trying to upgrade to Mountain Lion, error is  message; " product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed"

    trying to upgrade to Mountain Lion, error   message; " product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed" ??
    what to do? This is in App store. I followed the link e-mailed to me that an upgrade was available....... Puzzled.

    Several causes for this problem have been reported. Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when it's resolved.
    Step 1
    Back up all data.
    From the menu bar, select
     ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Network
    If the preference pane is locked, click the lock icon in the lower left corner and enter your password to unlock it. Then click the Advanced button and select the Proxies tab. If any proxy options are selected, make a note of them and then deselect them. You don’t need to change the bypass or FTP settings. Click OK and then Apply. Test. The result may be that you can't connect to any web server. Restore the previous settings if that happens.
    Step 2
    Rebuild the Spotlight index. If you try to search now from the magnifying-glass icon in the top right corner of the display, there will be an indication that indexing is in progress.
    Step 3
    Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Every time I open Firefox and type in a URL, I get the message "Server not found. Firefox can't find the server at..." All I have to do is hit the "Try again" button and it finds it. However, this is getting tiresome. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

  • Why has Firefox 16.0.2 under Windows 7 started to give "connection was reset" error only when accessing Yahoo Tech Goups, except first access of the day?

    On first access of the day to Yahoo technical groups, I can always retrieve the opening screen, but get no further. Almost all subsequent accesses in that day to Yahoo tech groups using this computer return a "connection was reset error", although I have very occasionally seen a successful access. Rebooting the computer makes no difference. No other websites that I visit give this problem.
    I am running Windows7 (auto updates) and Firefox 16.0.2. This is a problem that started about 3 weeks ago, possibly directly after a Windows7, Adobe Reader or a Firefox update. I have tried clearing all cookies and the cache in Firefox. The problem is not seen on other computers running different operating system versions or different browsers that are accessing the Yahoo site through the same internet gateway.

    Thanks again for your suggestions and links. I have gone through those, and am sorry to say I am not really any further forward. I have also gone systematically through the yahoo cookies, deleting one at a time. The only one that makes any difference is the T cookie, which must retain the login status as deleting it forces a login at the next access. After a login I get up to about a minute of Yahoo tech group activity before the "connection was reset" error pervades. All the Yahoo cookies are back in place when this happens. Using Private Browsing makes no difference to this behaviour.

  • I have just downloaded firefox onto my laptop but it wont open. I keep getting a message that says: 'The connection has timed out' Can you help

    This is the message i get after a few seconds of trying to connect:
    The connection has timed out.
    The server at search.bearshare.com is taking too long to respond.
    The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
    If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
    If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

    Is this when you install the EXE, or when you are running Firefox, or some other time?

  • Error while invoking bean "delivery": Waiting for response has timed out.

    Hello,
    I am running a process that currently catches an exception from a partnerlink. When the exception is caught I send an email and the process exits. When I submit a request from the BPEL console, I have to wait until the JTA timeout before the page returns. However, the instance completes successfully and I receive the email before the timeout happens. This is what I see in the logs. When I look at the audit and activity flow, all of the activities were timestamped prior to the exception being thrown. Has anyone seen this behavior or know what is going on. Is there a problem sending email in a catch or catchAll block?

    There is no issue the reason why it times out is because you don't have a reply back to the client in your catch all.
    If you look at your process you will see that the defaul reply is in the main scope. When the catch all is invoked this reply is by passed, therefore no reply is sent.
    PLease a reply in your catch all back to the client and it will work.
    cheers

  • I have tried to update the operating system on my ipad several times without success.  Each time it reaches 353.2mb of 353.2mb and starts to process the file.  Nothing happens and then I get a message saying the network connection has timed out.

    I have tried to update the operating system on my ipad several times without success.  Each time it reaches 353.2mb of 353.3mb and starts to process the file.  Nothing happens and then I get a message saying the network connection has timed out.  The network is still connected.

    Have you tried temporarily turning off your firewall and antivirus software whilst the download is happening ? A number of people on here have had success downloading it after doing so.

  • Server not found when trying to access our credit union.

    Our credit union address is part of our bookmarks. About half the time we get an error message that says "Server not found".
    It says to check the address for typos, check the network connection or make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the web.

    Hi sws23, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Open System Preferences>Network>Configure>Proxies Tab, make sure none are set, like for HTTPS.

  • The connection has timed out with certain sites on all browsers

    When I type in google.ca or bing.com in my address bar, it says " The connection has timed out. The server at bing.com is taking too long to respond." i have done may virus scans and that has not worked. This happens in all brosers and i am using windows XP. I am mainly using FireFox 3.6. My friends can access the sites and seem like i am the only one with the problem.
    == URL of affected sites ==
    http://bing.com

  • I am getting "Connection was reset" when trying to load any of the "My Yahoo" pages. Other sites appear to work, and trying the FAQ suggestions did not work

    When I tried to log into my my.yahoo.com page, entering my user ID and password, I got the following error message:
    '''The connection was reset
    The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading."
    I am able to open the same page in Windows Explore 6.0 and 8.0, and when using Firefox on a different machine
    Also, last week, everything worked just fine.
    So it appears that something must have happened to the
    configuration on this machine.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanx,

It worked fine until I charged the phone this evening. After that suddenly I'm facing this. Please can anyone help me to recover this issue? pls!

    This is covered in the basics section.
    A restore loses nothing.
    A restore does.  If you are using the iphone as designed, then everything should be on your computer.

  • I am playing in Pogo and cannot open the games even though the homepage and others will open. The message is THE CONNECTION WAS RESET WHILE THE PAGE WAS LOADING. How do I fix this???

    I am playing in Pogo and cannot open the games even though the homepage and others will open. The message is THE CONNECTION WAS RESET WHILE THE PAGE WAS LOADING.
    All my friends are playing and it seems I am the only one have this problem.

    The "The connection was reset" error message can be caused by a bug fix for the BEAST (Browser Exploit Against SSL/TLS) attack that the server doesn't handle.
