Why do I get drop down box that says "unresposive script'? Cause comp. to freeze up

I can be reading my emails or newspapers when computer stops. After closing window I see a drop down box that says unresponsive script with a lot of letters. Have the choice to continue or cancel. Very annoying.

  • In FF4, how do I change the orange color of the drop down box that says 'firefox'?

    I find the bright orange drop down box very annoying and distracting. How do I change the color?

    One way is to use the App Button Color add-on - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/app-button-color/

  • I ran the update for the newest version of Numbers.  Now I cannot open some of my spreadsheets.  When I try I get a drop down box that says I need a newer version of Numbers!!!!  I have just installed the newest Numbers update.  Any suggestions?

    I ran the latest Numbers update and now I cannot open several of the Numbers files I created and saved previously.  When I try, a box appears that says I need to update to a newer version of Numbers.  I ALREADY updated to the newest version!!!!  Any suggestions?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    When you upgraded Numbers to the most recent version, the Mac App Store kept the old version in case you need it in the future. Your problem is that you are opening the old version by mistake instead of the new one.
    To fix this, open a Finder window, select Applications in the sidebar and drag the new Numbers version (the one with the new icon) to the Dock. By doing this, you can access to the new Numbers version easily, so you will not open the old version by mistake anymore. Also, I recommend you to open the documents after opening Numbers. The same applies for all other iWork applications.
    If you want, you can remove the old Numbers version, but some users have complained about the lack of features of the new Numbers version. Apple will add more features in the future. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6049?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

  • I have loaded and reloaded Reader 9.  I cannot open a pfd document.      I can save it to desk top then open it via a drop down box that has a "open with Adobe Reader 9".  How can I avoid having to do this?

    Hello Michael,
    Thank you for your response.  My operating system is XP.  When I try to open a pfd document I just get a series of letters and symbols in a dialog box.  The top of the box says "select the encoding that makes your document readable".  I can choose Windows, MS-Dos, or other (there is a long list to choose from).  None seem to make a difference.  If I save the document to my desk top I can right click on it and choose an option "Open with  AdobeReader 9" and it opens fine.
    Thank you,

    Hello:
    What operating system does your computer use? What happens when you attempt to open a PDF document rather than saving it first? Please include any/all error messages. Also, have you tried opening documents from other locations or just one in particular?
    Thanks,

  • Why am i getting an error message that says "an unknown error has occured" when i try to update my apps in the app store

    Can someone please offer some suggestions why I am getting an error message that says "an unknown error has occured" when I try to download or update my apps in the app store?
    Thanks!
    disregard! i noticed someone else's post about signing out of the app store and signing in again and it worked.....

    Hi ...
    Try here > Mac App Store: "An unknown error occurred (100)" when purchasing
    If that doesn't help, drag the App Store icon straight up off your Dock so it goes, "poof".
    Now drag the App Store icon from your Applications folder to the Dock. Try updating your apps.

  • Why do I get an error message that says "Your Apple ID is not eligible to purchase gift certificates?"

    I am trying to purchase a printable gift certificate from iTunes, and I keep getting an error message that says, "Your Apple ID is not eligible to purchase gift certificates." You can purchase gift cards from retail locations. I can't do this because I live overseas. I've tried deleting and re-adding my credit card information, and I've submitted a support ticket to ask for help. I see from my Google search that this is not an uncommon error message to have, but I can't find a solution!

    No, I am a US citizen living overseas, but I am going through a VPN and I am using a US-based credit card. I have no problem purchasing apps, just purchasing gift certificates. I'm going to try gifting the app to the person I am purchasing for until Apple straightens this out for me.

    1. The scrolling, as far as I've been able to determine, is by using the slide bar to the right of most diplays. There are no up or down arrows that allow slow movement
    2. The top and botton toolbars are not visible. The top one appears when you point the arrow to the top of the screen but the same doesn't work well if at all pointing the cursor to the bottom.
    3. When downloading, something jumps to the upper right of the screen. I could point and click it and get a diplay if my downloads. I was attempting to fix some of the above. Now the little thing jumps off the screen and I can't get to it.
    4I was trying to installMacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 2.3. I got message it couldn't be installed on my system.
    5. The red yellow and blue bullets that allow shutting down, minimizing and maximizing are missing on most open windows.
    Can you do something about these problems
    It's problematical that one can't communicate directly with Apple to resolve these problems
    <Edited By Host>

    1: I'm scrolling this page right now using the arrow keys.
    2: Press the escape (esc) key to exit full-screen mode. Select Apple menu > Dock > Turn Hiding Off.
    3: ???
    4: That's because you downloaded an update for another model.
    5: See 2.

  • Why would I get an important message that says, "I can see you" It was a loud alarm with a message box.

    My Iphone 4s had a loud alarm with a text box that said I can see you!  I was trying to copy and paste in my contacts at the time it occured.  It kinda freaked me out.

    This was an iCloud message.  I received an email that was from find myiphone. It stated your message was sent to the phone. The funny thing is that I don't remember messing around with the find my iPhone feature. I may try to explore the find my iPhone feature some more. Thanks for the responses everyone. The message had a loud continuous alarm even though my phone was set to vibrate.
    Thanks again

  • Keep getting a dialog box that say that a script on this page is either missing or non-responsive, and this slows everything down.

    This only happens when online using Firefox. And seems to happen more often when transferring a document or picture to my Document file. By the way, I am using Windows XP. I have tried a fix called Script Stop, but the problem persists.
    Aside from going back to Explorer, is there anything I can do?

  • Why do I get an error message that says "Incompatible Types"?

    I am a newbie to Java programming. I have experience with VB.
    I am using Net Beans 6.1. I was following a sample program that shows me how to use the JDBC ODBC bridge to connect to an MS-Access file.
    I get an error message at this line:
    statement = connection.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE, ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY);
    statement was declared earlier with:
    private Connection connection;
    private Statement statement;
    private ResultSet resultSet;
    Here are my imports:
    import accessingmsdb.Page1;
    import java.beans.Statement;
    import java.sql.Connection;
    import java.sql.DriverManager;
    import java.sql.ResultSet;
    import java.sql.SQLException;
    import java.util.logging.Level;
    import java.util.logging.Logger;
    import javax.swing.text.html.Option;
    import java.lang.String;
    I am also getting erros on the following 2 lines (these follow the first statement above):
    statement.execute(query);
    resultSet = statement.getResultSet();
    The site that has the sample does not have a forum. Any assistance you can provide would be appreciated.

    statement = connection.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE, ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY);Probably because that driver doesn't allow you to use the mix of the two parameters that you passed.

  • I get a box that says a script is not working. The name of the script is file:///C: /Program%20files/Mozilla%20Firefox/components/nsBlocklistService.js:648 This is getting worse and more frequent. What can I do?

    This box pops up more and more frequently, and sometimes completely ties up my computer.
    If I knew any more to tell you, I could probably fix it myself!

    In Firefox Options / Privacy be sure "Remember download history" is checked. To see all of the options on that panel, "Firefox will" must be set to "Use custom settings for history".
    To find your OS information, on your Windows desktop, right-click the My Computer icon, choose Properties, under System on that small window is info about your OS.
