Why did my browser completely glitch when a video ended?

I was watching videos on Smosh.com, formerly without any problem, but as soon as a certain video ended, the top bar (the one with the Firefox menu and the button to close the browser) disappeared. I eventually brought it back by pressing F11 a few times (although now it is squished into a space half as big as before). Unfortunately, I can't press the "x" now, it looks aesthetically unappealing, and it is taking much longer to load (that could just be my connection). It works in full screen, but I hate that mode! What happened, and how can I fix it? (I can close it using Control-Alt-Delete, but it is

You can check for problems caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and possibly downgrade to Flash 11.2 or 10.3.

Why did my browser start crashing when I have two windows or tabs open and I try to close one of them?

I updated Firefox yesterday, 1/11/2013, and now when I try to close a second window or an second tab that I have open, my browser crashes. I tried restarting my computer, but that did not help. I was not on a website that I don't normally use or trust. I tried clearing my cookies and the cache, but that just made both windows and tabs close. I clicked the x on the window to close it, and the same for the open tab. I'm going to try to restart my browser again, and then maybe re-install Firefox, but I don't know what to do if that doesn't work. My OS is Windows 7, if that helps or matters.

hello, unfortunatley those crashes are triggered by the norton confidential 2012/2013 plugin for firefox. according to the bug report associated to the crash signature norton is aware of the issue and planning to release a fix for the bug soon. for details more details it would be best to contact norton's customer support or watch out for updates on symantec's liveupdate.

Why doesn't apple tv appear when playing video in safari?

Hi Guys:
     I just bought an apple tv. I am able to use the mirroring function with no problem, and I can see the apple tv in the "Airplay" menu.
     But When i play a video in safari(mirroring turned off), I can not see my apple TV in the "AirPlay" menu.
      So my question is : why doesn't apple tv appear when playing video in safari?
Does the same thing happen to you guys??
btw, I just dont want to mirroring when play a video in safari, that's why i'm asking this question
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks!

Experiencing the same issue. Everything used to just work. I'm up to date on *everything* and it's all apple devices (airport extreme, appletv, 2 macbook pro lion, iphone4s, ipad).
My gut says it's the AppleTV since it happens from both laptops that have itunes.
Let me know if you find a fix.

Why did my CS4 Stop Running When I Installed a Trial Version of Elements?

Why did my Adobe CS4 Stop Running When I Installed a Trial Version of Elements?
I cannot use any of my purchased Adobe CS4 products. I installed a trial version of Elements and none of my licensed CS4 components will run. Please help.

So let me be sure I understand:
You can open Photoshop normally as it was before you saw the trial version?
Bridge CS6 opens, but you cannot see your pictures? Here's an easy way to check:
First reboot your computer. Photoshop CS6 should open normally, that way we know it's fixed. You can exit Photoshop
Now...
Make a shortcut to Bridge CS6 and place it on your desktop.
From Windows Explorer, drag one of your picture folders to the Bridge shortcut.
Bridge should open and show the pictures in your folder.
If it does not, get back to me and we will look at other ideas.

Why did I download FireFox 11, when none of the add-ons work on it?

I was using Google Chrome to use on Facebook. I had problems with it and multiple users told me the way to go was to switch to Firefox. I downloaded it and while reviewing the get aquainted information, it seems most of the add-ons say" Not available with Firefox11. Why did I bother if their newest product does not support their own add-ons?

Why start out as a new Firefox user with a '''''Beta''''' version that is still two weeks away from being released?

High browser memory usage when streaming video

I'm using Flex 4 and the Spark VideoPlayer. I'm creating an application where you switch between several videos. I noticed that the browser memory usage increases significantly when changing videos and never releases the memory. I ran tests where the video is being served over a content delivery network that has Flash Media Server, so the content shouldn't be caching in the browser. I profiled my Flex application and the memory usage increases slightly when changing videos. I think that is attributed to this bug: https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-25785. However, my browser memory usage increases about 20MB when changing videos. The video file I used to test is an mp4 file that is about 3MB in size. I tried testing using a small video (about 300Kb) and noticed an increase of about 5MB in browser memory usage every time I replayed it. So it looks like it's based on the video file size. I was testing on Firefox and noticed the same results in Chrome. Any idea why the browser memory usage would increase so much every time the video is loaded?
Thanks in advance.

That's normal for your machine. Video is fairly demanding in the integrated Intel GPU in that machine. Your CPU has to do much of the video processing. As a result, your fans will speed up to cool off the CPU which is working fairly hard. It's completely normal and all of the MacBooks with the same GPU experience the same thing.

Why don't I have sound when viewing videos on Facebook or you tube?

Why don't. I have sound when viewing videos on Facebook or you tube?

Quicktime or Quicktime Pro (which iTunes uses) don't convert "muxed" ( muxed means multiplexed where the audio and video are stored on the same track) video files properly. It only plays the video and not the audio.
See:iPod plays video but not audio.
You need a 3rd party converter to convert the file with both audio and video.
See this for help: Guide to converting video for iPod (Mac/Windows).

Why is my DVD project freezing when a video clip plays?

Hi -
I have a simple Encore(CS5 Mac) project that is that is "stalling" when played.
The content of the DVD is made from an After Effects(CS5.5 Mac) project so I think I should provide information on that. The 30sec AE project is mostly timeline animation until the last 6 seconds which is video footage. The 7 second video clip is scaled way down from it's original dimensions and then masked off to fit in an area of the AE stage.
I rendered the AE project to a QT MOV with No compression. In this format it was a very large file (939MB) but it played flawlessly in Quicktime on my desktop.
Then I brought that MOV into Encore as a timeline, added a one button menu, and burned a DVD.
The prpoject plays fine until that video comes on. At that instant - the picture freezes for a few seconds - then plays for a second and then freezes again. It does this stop and go until the video ends and then the DVD returns to the simple opening menu.
It seems to choke at the same time each time I replay it but I can't be 100% sure. It's almost as if the disc actually stops spinning.
Why would the DVD freeze when the video content of my DVD project played? What can I do to fix this?
TIA some expert advice.

While I am familiar with the brand name, Imagtion, I do not know what their business model is. Some companies, like Memorex buy the cheapest blank media of that day, and rebrand it, with their logo. Others do the same thing. Poor quality blank media can cause all sorts of issues, such as hanging and skipping - hence my question.
I would do a test burn with high-quality blank media, such as Falcon, Taiyo-Yuden or Verbatim, and then burn about 4x on the speed. Test to see if that disc plays, without the skipping and hangling.
Good luck,
Hunt

HT2648 I want to Repair Disk Permissions, but I do not have disk utility 10.4.3 on my Mac os X. How do I download it? Why did I not get it when I purchased the computer 2 years ago?

I am having frequent pop-up boxes. It is very annoying. It was suggested that I repair permissions, but when I try, my 2 year old computer. with OSX operating systems has an old desk utility, and I cannot use it. How do I acquire disk utility 10.4.3?

Any reason why you have not updated to the final version 10.4.11 of Tiger?
General advice on updating Tiger:
It is worth noting that it is an extreme rarity for updates to cause upsets to your system, as they have all been extensively beta-tested, but they may well reveal pre-existing ones, particularly those of which you may have been unaware. If you are actually aware of any glitches, make sure they are fixed before proceeding further.
So before you do anything else:
If you can, make a full backup first to an external hard disk. Ideally you should always have a bootable clone of your system that enables you to revert to the previous pre-update state.
Turn off sleep mode for both screen and hard disk.
Disconnect all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
1. Repair Permissions (in Disk Utility)
2. Verify the state of your hard disk using Disk Utility. If any faults are reported, restart from your install disk (holding down the C key), go to Disk Utility, and repair your startup disk. Restart again to get back to your startup disk.
At least you can now be reasonably certain that your system does not contain any obvious faults that might cause an update/upgrade to fail.
3. Download the correct version of the COMBO update from the Apple download site. If your car runs on gasoline you would not want to fill the tank with diesel, so don’t try to install the PPC updater on an Intel Mac!
The 10.4.11 Combo Updater for PPC Macs is here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL170
And for Intel Macs here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL172
If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall.
Full details about the 10.4.11 update here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24901?viewlocale=en_US
More information on using Software Updater here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24901?viewlocale=en_US
Using the Combo updater ensures that all system files changed since the original 10.4.0 are included, and any that may have been missed out or subsequently damaged will be repaired. The Delta updater, although a temptingly smaller download, only takes you from the previous version to the new one, i.e. for example from 10.4.10 to 10.4.11. Software Update will generally download the Delta updater only. The preferable Combo updater needs to be downloaded from Apple's download site.
Now proceed as follows:
4. Close all applications and turn off energy saving and screensaver.
5. Unplug all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
6. Install the update/upgrade. Do not under any circumstances interrupt this procedure. Do not do anything else on your computer while it is installing. Be patient.
7. When it ask for a restart to complete the installation, click restart. This can take longer than normal, there are probably thousands of files to overwrite and place in the correct location. Do nothing while this is going on.
8. Once your Mac is awake, repair permissions again, and you should be good to go!
If your Mac seems slightly sluggish or ‘different’, perform a second restart. It can’t hurt and is sometimes efficacious!
9. Open a few of your most used applications and check that all is OK. In this connection please remember that not all manufacturers of third party applications and plug-ins, add-ons, haxies etc, will have had time to do any necessary rewrites to their software to make them compliant with the latest version of your operating system. Give them a weeks or two while you regularly check their websites for updates. This applies particularly to plug-ins for Safari 3.
N.B. Do not attempt to install two different updates at the same time as each may have different routines and requirements. Follow the above recommendations for each update in turn.
Lastly, Apple's own article on the subject of Software Update may also be useful reading:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106695
[b]If you are updating Safari (or just have):[/b]
Input Managers from third parties can do as much harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up. If you have installed an OS update and Safari is crashing, the very [i]first[/i] thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level /Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari. Remember: Tiger up to 10.4.10 used Safari 2.0.4 or, if you downloaded it, Safari 3.0.3 beta. Safari 10.4.11 used Safari 3.0.4 which was [i]not[/i] a beta. If Safari 3.1.2 on 10.4.11 is not the fastest browser you have ever used, then something is wrong!
Moreover, trying to revert to Safari 3.0.4 (or worse still, version 2) when running 10.4.11 or 10.5 can have repercussions, as Safari 3.1.1 uses a completely different webkit on which other applications like iChat, Mail and Dashboard Widgets etc also rely, and may entail you having to reinstall an earlier operating system.
[b][i]Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party ad-on.[/b][/i] Two such add-on that have been frequently mentioned here for causing such problems are Piclens and Pithhelmet. If you have them, trash them.
Additional tips on software installation here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106692
To reiterate, Input Managers reach right into an application and alter its code. This puts the behavior of the affected application outside the control and responsibility of its developers: a recipe for problems. That's not to say that issues absolutely will ensue as a result of Input Managers, but you, as a user, must decide. If the functionality of a specific Input Manager or set thereof is really important to you, you may well choose to assume the associated risk.
Again, the advice is to remove all Input Managers from the following directories:
/Library/InputManagers
~/Library/InputManagers
especially prior to system updates (they can always be added back one-by-one later).

Why does my Macbook Pro glitch when I'm watching a film on iTunes?

I have a 2006 Macbook Pro, with up-to-date software, and whenever I watch a film on iTunes, it glitches every so often. Why is this?

When I say glitch I mean the video freezes for a couple of seconds, the audio carries on and then the video fast forwards itself to catch up with the audio. It repeats itself at frequent intervals.
The hard drive is 500GB (the RAM is 3GB)
There is about 230GB left
The internet connection is very fast, and in one half of the house it is WPA2, and in the half where I usually watch films, it is WEP
5 machines use this WiFi
Nothing is connected to my laptop when I usually watch films
I am 90% of the time usually running off the mains.
I also forgot to mention, that this also happens when watching a film in iMovie or iPhoto. It only started happening a couple of months ago. I hope this helped.

Why did Firefox clear my history when it shouldn't have?

I don't know what caused this. I manually restarted Firefox and noticed in the Task Manager that Firefox's process was not ending. It does this from time to time, so I took a little break from the computer assuming that it would end in a minute or so. After a couple of minutes from the computer, I saw that Firefox's process was still running. Instead of manually ending the process, I reopened Firefox just because. And usually when you reopen while the process tries to end, a prompt comes up on the screen telling you that Firefox is still running and you should wait for it to close, but that did not happen. Instead, Firefox reopened while the process was still running from the last time. And when Firefox opened again, I didn't have any of my app tabs and all of my open tabs and tab groups from before were gone. So I tried checking the history tab for recently closed stuff and my old window with my app tabs, etc. was saved so I opened that and closed the window without my stuff thinking all would be well. But then I restarted Firefox again to assure that the process would close and it did, but when I reopened Firefox, my app tabs and opened tabs and tab groups were gone again but the recently closed windows menu was grayed out. So now all of my stuff is gone and I don't know how I can get it back or what specifically caused this to happen. It's really frustrating, especially considering that I don't have the box checked for Firefox to clear history when I close it, and I do have the box checked for Firefox to remember my browsing and download history. What can I do, if anything, to bring back my stuff? I tried restoring my history with FEBE, but it just keeps freezing up Firefox and isn't helping at all. Someone please help me.

Hi,
You can try to check if there are additional profiles in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder Firefox Profile Folder]. If there are more profile folders, please see [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Profiles?s=profile&r=2&e=sph&as=s this].

Why does my browser go "back" when i use my mousepad

my browser randomly goes back to the last browser when i use my mousepad.
== This happened ==
A few times a week

thanks Pat. its fully updated.
Did you go to the mfgr's. Web site, and look at the driver downloads, and then verifying that you have the latest one installed? The reason that I ask is that the OS, and most driver update utilities, will be about 6 mos. out of date, if not more.
Also, new computers are loaded with a "master" disc, that was probably created at least 6 mos. before it was used to setup your computer, if not a year. The drivers are very old. With a new computer, the first two things that I do are: clean off any "bloatware," that the mfgr. installed, and then update the OS, and ALL drivers. I have seen drivers that are 3 - 4 years old on a new factory build. All good custom builders, will not install bloatware, and will update the OS and all drivers, before delivery. On an assembly line, that will never happen.
Good luck,
Hunt

Why did my ipod shut down when it was fuly charged.

My Ipod was so dark I couldn't see the okay to disconnected. Can someone help why it's acting like that?

Why did I lose my music when I download and sync a movie

We're new to ipods and itunes. We had a couple songs on our ipod and wanted to get a movie. It took us awhile to figure out how to sync it, but when we did, we got a message that said it would clear out our other libraries. I should have kept the exact message, but I didn't. I figured, OK, we'll just resync for the music again and went ahead. After resyncing after the movie, I was charged again for the music.
Now, my son bought new music and synced it, but lost the movie we downloaded. Why does it do that and how can I avoid it?
