Why do I constantly get "DNS lookup error" messages and have to reload a page 5-10 times before it will actually load?

This seems to be happening more and more frequently. I am running Firefox 23.0.1 on Mac OS 10.8.4. It even happens on the Mozilla support page. It used to happen every so often; now it happens at least 50% of the time.

Try to disable IPv6 in Firefox (network.dns.disableIPv6 = true).

  • I constantly get the following error message: The backup disk image "/volumes/data/ james kehoe.sparsebundle" is already in use.

    I constantly get the following error message: The backup disk image "/volumes/data/jameskehoe.sparsebundle" is already in use. This Time Machine/Time Capsul worked perfectly before I left on a four month trip. Upon returning to my domicle it will not backup and I get the mentioned error message. My wife's Mac Book Pro continues to backup normally but she did not accompany me on this trip so her computer has always remained in contact with the Time Machine. My computer is a MacBook running 10.7.5
    Any help solving this problem and letting me once again backup my computer would be greatly appreciated.

    This question is asked several times every day.. it is a bug.
    Look at the more like this column to the right..
    Solution is pretty simple..
    With the TC hard disk not running.. you can feel the vibration ..
    pull out the power cord.. count to 10.. plug in the power cord.
    If you still have the problem report back.. mostly 98% of cases that will fix it.

    Hi Tom,
    Looks like we have problem here as we see another blank post from you here. It's probably something to do with your email. Let me send you a PM with my email address and we can communicate that way.

  • Why do I constantly get the msg...Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding? I just upgraded to the IOS 8.2.  Nothing else seems to be affected.

    Why do I constantly get the msg...Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding?  I just upgraded to the IOS 8.2.  Nothing else seems to be affected.

    Try some basic troubleshooting:
    (A) Try reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    (B) Try reset all settings
    Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings

    did recent recommended update cause incompatibility with HP printer, causing error message and printer to print blank pages?

    Why not contact HP tech support for assistance since they make the printer. While on their site you can look for an updated printer driver. Otherwise, try deleting the current installed driver, reset the print system, then reinstall your printer's driver.

  • I loaded the new version of Mozilla, now I get microsoft defender error messages and then i can no longer connect but explorer still connects. How do I fix it?

    i loaded the newest version of Mozilla, i have windows vista. I began receiving microsoft defender error messages and now i can only connect the internet through explorer. i love using mozilla. what can i do to fix the problem?

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features(Later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (If this won't uninstall press on)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    and paste into:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

  • Transferred Elements 8 to new power mac and get 150:30 error message and told licensing has stopped.

    How can I get Adobe Elements 8 activated on my new Power Mac?  Program has been transferred but I'm getting a 150:30 error message and told that my licensing has expired.

    If you don't really mean a power mac, but rather a new mac, you can never transfer an installed copy of PSE. The first thing to try is running the uninstaller and then installing from scratch. That may very well not work, though, in which case you have a lot more work to do.
