Why do I get error message 'disallowed key characters' when I try to access some websites.

This has happened with two particular websites I've been trying to access. Both are in the same domain (.cam.ac.uk), so is it a problem with them or some setting on my computer?

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance

  • I keep getting an error message "disallowed key characters"

    Over the last few weeks, safari displays the message "disallowed key characters" when I visit some sites. You can not browse cabkwards once this message comes up. I cleared cookies and restarted the iPad. The problem does not occur on an iPhone 4 or 5 for the same website.

    Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
    There may be third-party software that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting a TcpWindowSize entry into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause these errors. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet size modification for assistance or follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
    Verify that access to ports 80 and 443 are allowed on your network.
    Verify that communication to albert.apple.com or photos.apple.com is not blocked by a firewall, or other Internet security setting.
    Discard the .ipsw file, open iTunes and attempt to download the update again. See the steps underAdvanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations.
    Restore your device while connected to a different network.

  • I'm trying to burn a dvd from idvd but I keep getting error message, broken assets, but when I check my drop zones and their content there's no error messages on any of them?

    Hi
    And if You change view - in main "window/view field" so that You see the box-plot structure.
    No exclamation marks there either ?
    and non at the front page ?
    iDVD do not copy Your material - only points to where it is stored. So if on any external hard disks, USB-memories, CDs or DVDs are missing - assetts are broken.
    Or if You changed location of any material or directed iPhoto or iTunes or GarageBand to a new Library - Then iMovie/iDVD also get's lost.

  • Why do I get a conversion failure every time when I try to merge documents together???

    Why do I get a conversion failure every time when I try to merge documents together???

    Hi mdrhine,
    I'm sorry that you've been unable to merge files. Let's see what we can figure out.
    Are you unable to merge any files? How large are the files that you're trying to merge, and how many are you trying to merge at once?
    If you're merging more than a few files, or those files are particularly large, ttry merging those files in smaller batches. If one or more files is causing the conversion failure, merging in smaller batches should help you isolate the problematic file or files.
    I look forward to hearing back from you with some details about the files that you're trying to merge.
    Best,
    Sara

  • Error code 404 keeps coming up on screen when I try to access Vodafone website (using Mac Pro)

    Error code 404 keeps coming up on screen when I try to access Vodafone website (using Mac Pro)
    Any ideas why only started happening in last week ?

    404 means the page you are looking for doesn't exist,  if you are using a bookmark
    type the website directly into your browser.
    otherwise:
    open terminal> type:
    traceroute www.vodafone.com.au
    you should get something like this:

  • Why do I get error message, Why do I get error message, Why do I get error message

    When I try to log onto my iTunes account I get error message the URL could not be open

    I quote Karl Petersen:
    "There's an iMovie bug that causes iMovie to think you don't have permission to access the project folder. The solution is to create a new project folder in the Finder -- by choosing the Finder's "New Folder" command. Like this:
    1. Create a new folder anywhere OTHER THAN inside the old project folder. Name the new folder "Replacement" or something.
    2. Create a new folder inside the Replacement folder. Name it "Media".
    3. Open the Media folder of the iMovie project. Choose Edit>Select All.
    4. Option-drag all the selected files (hold Option key down while dragging) to the new Media folder. That creates a duplicate of the files instead of moving them. (I'm assuming there is sufficient disk space to duplicate them. If not, simply drag them instead of Option-dragging.)
    Perhaps that is the solution.

  • Why do I get error message HDCP when I try to stream?

    when try to stream a rented movie from iTunes I get error message with HDCP?

    OK, I`m a PC user, not MAC (but I have an IPhone 5 and Ipod Touch). I am using a Hewlett Packard HP Z 800 Professional workstation with 32 GB of RAM. My graphic card is NVIDIA GTX 670, the "monitor"" is a brand new SONY Bravia Full HD Televison set, connected by HDMI cable, 1.4  HDMI standard. Because the Iphone is new, I happened to browse the Itunes Shop and purchased the first episodes of the NIKKITA series. Runs perfectly. Yesterday I therefore invested into a larger bibliotheque of movies and single episodes of series.  Not ONE single item is running on any of my 5 computers. (All run Windows 7 64 Bit and the newest Itunes version is installed).
    Because I always was a PC User, in principal pay for downloads but also in principle boycot DRM disabled items for the very same reason I experience now (DRM is blocking the legal use, not the illegally downloaded and  cracked  versions), I might have misunderstood the message circulating some time ago, APPLE aborting the "DRM abuse". Legally the situation is an "inverse ripping" situation. Not the mean illegal downloader of copyrighted material damages the poor starving author or movie industry, but the industry is damaging (or preventing) the use of perfectly legal purchased materials and sold non funtional material, which is against all laws in the world. I`ll  remember it when they againn complain of decreasing sales and the end of the world. For myself the solution is not to purchase ANY of those bogus video, music or software files until any disabling software codes or hardware features are removed. If APPLE wants to do me a favor they could indicate if video files are HDCP -impaired or not or contain any other uninvited "user" of my property. (Of course my equipment would be HDCP ready. However I am not.)

  • Why am i getting error messages when trying to get email, why am i getting error messages when trying to get email

    For the last two evening, my email has not been coming through with Comcast email.  I get error messages like unable to verify user name and password or connection to the server has timed out.  I have done a soft reset, deleted the email account and reinstalled but nothing works.

    I had this same problem happen to me about 3 weeks ago or so. I'm with Rogers in Canada (iPhone 4).
    Out of nowhere I started having errors with both of my email accounts on my phone (Hotmail, Gmail) which I had been using without problem since I got the phone in October 2010. I tried re-entering settings, removing and setting them up from scratch again, all to no avail. First it was Hotmail but Gmail shortly followed. I could, however, check both of these emails via a browser on a computer, so I knew those services weren't both down.
    It also happened on two different wi-fi networks and with 3G.
    Then as sure as it started, it ended. It was after about 6-10 days that all my email returned to normal.
    If you've only had it happen for a few days now, I'd give it maybe another week and see if it goes away. I know this isn't a fix, and I was never able to find an explanation for the problem.

    This is because Chrome does not use Adobe Flash Player. Chrome uses something called Pepper Flash, maintained by Google (not Adobe). The issues you are experiencing are Adobe Flash Player issues. You should be able to get assistance with these issues [https://forums.adobe.com/community/flashplayer/using_flashplayer on the Adobe forums].
