Why can't I check my plugins at Firefox Plugin Finding Service ?
Every time I visit this site to check and upgrade my plugins I encounter the same Plugin Finding Service Error saying " We've encountered an error. Please try your request again later."
I have used Firefox for 2 years but I could never check my plugins at this site. Why?
Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache.
* Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
* Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
* Press "Cmd + Shift + R" (MAC)

Why can I not check the 'shuffle images' box in a slide show settings in iPhoto 9.6?
Why can I not check the 'Shuffle images' box in settings of a slide show in iPhoto 9.6? All other settings I can check but this one.
Hey Brad,
If you are unable to select the shuffle images checkbox, follow the steps in this article -
iPhoto '11: Change slideshow settings
Specifically -
To display slides in random order, select “Shuffle slide order.” If you don’t see this option, play the slideshow, move the pointer to make the slideshow controls appear, and then click the Settings button.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Be well,

Why can't I check out and down load LR5?
Why can't I check out and down load LR5? Are the servers overwhelmed? Very frustrating!!!!!!!
I had the same problem yesterday trying to upgrade 4 to 5 - I ended up doing the upgrade over the telephone, where the "nice lady" said they were having a few server problems. I say "nice" but she downright annoyed me by trying every angle she could think of to flog me a full cloud subscription

I try to see my transaction history, but after I login it won't show me anything. Just my husband's account. Why can't I check my account?
Whose iTunes account is currently logged into on that computer's iTunes ? If your husband's then log out of it via the Store > Sign Out menu option and then sign in with your account (it will change to a Store > Sign In menu option) and you should then be able to view the purchase history of your account

Want to download .pdf doc, but pop-up says it's unstable, need update plug-in. Tried to update, got error message, with "try later". Same for weeks now. Tried check for updates, Firefox is up to date, clicked update plug-ins... it tries, then again... same error message: "Plugin Finding Service Error. Please try again later".
Been so long now -- when becomes a mighty big question. Looked in forum, no joy.
Please, can someone tell me -- what's the go. I'm absolutely no good with computers, but this needs to get fixed. Should I stop using Firefox or what?
Thanks for your help.
Happy 2013 to all.
PS. (added a couple days later)
I'm told I should have added my next question in reply to TylerDowner here, instead of as I did. Sorry if that's so (really?) but I didn't even realize I could edit this.
So... TylerDowner, thanks very much for your reply, and please would you -- or anyone else who might be able to help -- see my first reply to you below. (seems a waste to slot in here again)
Feelin even dumber, (ha-ha)
raaraaTylerdowner -- >> thank you << for your reply, and my sincere apologies for this delayed response (probs, hospital, blah-blah, you don't want to know).
Have tried to download via that link but not sure if successful. Very slow dial-up connection is the pits. Waited hours 'n hours, fell asleep in chair even, finally had to give in and go to bed, left it going. Server does time out every 8-12 hours, so not sure how long it went. The download appeared complete -- ie, did not show any note of failure. Not sure if it would -- some things in the past haven't.
Anyway, had success downloading one much older .pdf file, but the link for one I wanted had expired, and I don't know anything else to try. Tried a couple of other links I have, not sure of age of file -- on clicking link, the browser opened, but nothing more happened.
Wondering -- is the download available in separate pieces instead of one big one? Perhaps worth trying again that way?
Please, if you would be forgiving, and persist with me a little further/longer -- would you make your recommendation/s for next step/s please?
Hope you're in a safe, comfortable place. So many places in the world suffering with extremes of all kinds.

I get this error when attempting to check plugin status: "Plugin Finding Service Error"
When I attempt to check the plugin status of the plugins installed in firefox i get this error :Plugin Finding Service Error
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
*Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
Extensions that do not have a Remove button in the Extensions Manager are installed by other software and need to be disabled or updated via that software.
You can uninstall and remove Java Console extensions, you do not need them to run Java applets.

I have opened the plugin scanning page many times before, and have done some updating of plugins recently, but yesterday I couldn't bring up the scan, I keep getting "Plugin Finding Service Error", which says to "try again later". I believe what I updated most recently was Flash (I think). No matter how many times I push the "try again", or shut down Firefox and the webpage, I still get the error, and get nowhere!
This problem has been occurring for the past two months. I have updated Firefox to version 3.6.16...including Flash Player to version 10.2.153.1 as instructed. I am able to click on the "Add-ons" tab and "find updates" for "Get Add-ons" and "Extensions." However, the "find updates" tab is not working for "Plugins."
I followed one of your suggestions in your "troubleshooting plugins" topic (disabling the plugins...then enabling them after a check). That didn't work either. In fact, a message box would appear saying that Firefox has "disabled Flash" instead, which of course it did not, since I was able to confirm that the Flash Player update version was still intact. Unfortunately, it appears that updating the Flash Player through Firefox is not a standalone operation. Apparently it will not work properly unless a separate update is subsequently processed through Internet Explorer as well. -

Why can't I play any videos on Firefox Mobile?
Why can't I play any videos on Firefox Mobile? I know that currently Firefox Mobile does not support Flash, but mp4 videos will not play either.
I fixed it by rebooting, now everything works. Thanks Demo, for your help.

I have updated Firefox to 3.6.16, and Flash Player to the new 10.2.153.1, and all the other "extensions" and "add-ons" work just fine. I can't figure out what the problem is except to say that, I have not been able to "update" the "plugins" in Firefox.
Every day I have been trying to see if there is any change, but each time the message box reads the same: "Plugin Finding Service Error...." etc, as stated in the "Question" above.Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.

I clicked on the phrase that said Check on whether your plug-ins are all current and then Firefox started just grinding away.
Finally it came back with "Plugin Finding Service Error We've encountered an error. Please try your request again later."
I get the same message every time I click on the "check on whether plug-ins are updated (attempted checking over
a number of days and still the same problem).Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.

Plugin Finder Service never finds Adobe Flash Player
I have tried Plugin Finder Service for Adobe Flash Player on Ubuntu-Linux & Windows, but it never finds it, and I have to manually install it.
Hello,
Flash can't be installed via the plugin finder service. The right way is to either use the standard Ubuntu apt-get and download it from the repositories or you can follow the instructions mentioned in this article [[Install the Flash plugin to view videos, animations and games]]
Hope that helps -

Plugin Finding Service Error
We've encountered an error. Please try your request again later.I've been getting this error for over 2 weeks. Have tried everything I've seen suggested and still no luck. Cleaned cache and cookies, went directly to site instead of using buttons to plugin info page, you name it, I've tried it.
I'm getting tired of seeing the notice that "some plugins used on this page are out of date" on almost every page that I visit. -
