Why do I keep getting "This link is broken" messages yet it works on other browsers

Using firefox for desktop at school. On many sites I get the "Oops this link appears to be broken" message. I go to Chrome and it works fine. The sites have not been blocked.
What do I need to do to get this to work correctly?

IPad keep getting not connected to internet message yet iPod works ok

Both macbook and ipod connect to internet fine yet all of a sudden my ipad keeps saying iam not coonected to th internet????

Here are some things to try. Try to connect after each step before you move on to the next one.
Reboot your router - unplug from power and wait 20 seconds and plug back in again.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

When using Lightroom Book module for Blurb book making, why do I keep getting a low image quality message if it's supposedly accessing my large raw files in my library?

When using Lightroom Book module for Blurb book making, why do I keep getting a low image quality message if it's supposedly accessing my large raw files in my library?

I think I've solved my problem with a Google Search. I came across a free slide show generator
(contributions requested) that shows much higher quality slide shows than either iPhoto or Aperture 3.
You click on a folder of jpegs and it almost immediately generates thumbnails and within a few seconds
I can be viewing a full screen, tack sharp, slideshow of all of the files in the folder. Much sharper than
I'm used to seeing.
I think I'll keep the Aperture 3 and use if for the purpose it's intended for in the future. I'll also redo the
image preview files to the small size it started with and then I'll copy all of the files I'm interested in from
iPhoto into a separate folder on another disk. I'll use Aperture to catalog and to perform image manipulations
on but I won't try to use it as an iPhoto replacement. I don't think I'll be using iPhoto much as an image
viewer in the future either after I finish moving my favorite pictures to the Phoenix Slides folder.
The name of the free program is Phoenix Slides. It's free to download and try, free to keep (though I
think you'd want to pay the small amount requested) and fast. My pictures have never looked so good
before.

The name of your computer "Alpha (3376)" is already in use on this network. The name has been changed to "Alpha (6759)". Why do I keep getting this message?

I keep getting this message every time I log in. Why? I have an iMac with sharing on for my networked printer and to share file between the iMac and my MacBook. Can anyone help?

This is an annoying but not disastrous thing. Your computer sends messages on your home network and each message includes its name. If your computer is restarted or if it goes to sleep and wakes up all those messages should now gone but sometimes when the computer reconnects to the network it picks up a message with its name in it. Your computer doesn't realize its an old message from itself, it thinks the message is from a computer with the same name and that's not permitted so your computer's name is automatically changed.
Temporary solution (or not): turn everything off - your computers, printers, internet modem and router; any and all devices that are connected to your network. Then restart them. I hear about this issue all the time and this solution has been temporary for some people (days, weeks, or months) and for others it has seemingly solved it totally.

Why do I keep getting the security code invalid message when trying to change my credit card info. Being trying to get this right for 3 days

My old credit card expired so I'm putting in new information but I keep getting this message security code invalid. Why?

Hi BT54,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, I'm not sure if this is causing the issue but it is a possible cause. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
Payment methods you can use in the iTunes Store, Mac App Store, App Store, and iBooks Store - Apple Support
If you create an account for a child under 13* in Family Sharing, you must use a credit card as the payment method. After you create the child’s Apple ID, however, you can change your payment method back to a debit card.
Cheers,
Mario

I've already installed the new Firefox, but every night, I keep getting a box that asks if I want to restart Firefox to install the new version. This happens all the time. Why am I getting this box if it's already installed?
