Why does a black page now load first, followed by a white page?

With the last version or two of FireFox, when it loads I get a black blank page followed by a white blank page. Until the white page loads, you cannot do anything. In earlier versions, it would load directly yto the white blank page. My home page is set to "blank."

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. <br>
'''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
*Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
To Reset Firefox do the following:
'''For Firefox versions previous to 29.0:'''
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox"[[Image:Button reset]] button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
'''For Firefox 29.0 and above:'''
#Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Troubleshooting Information''.
Now, a new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
#At the top right corner of the page, you should see a button that says "Reset Firefox"[[Image:Button reset]]. Click on it.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.

Why does a black box now follow my display in Logic 8 after installing OS X Maverick?

Today I idownloaded and installed Mac OS X Maverick 10.9.2 and now ,during playback in Logic Pro 8, a black box follows the playhead, making the display impossible to follow.
This stops after I pause, but starts again as soon as I resume play. I did NOT have this issue before, so why now? My Imac is about 5 years old, but I have had no issues whatsoever until now. 2.4GHz Intel, 4 GB Ram. Not happy!
On a side note, Maverick has made the entire system run at a snails pace, thus reducing the funtionality of Logic all together.

This is a known issue with Logic 8 (and 9 up to 9.1.7) and Mavericks. There's no solution (that I know of) for it.
Your choices are going back to a previous version of OSX or start using Logic X.

Why does my macbook pro stop loading the webpage every time i try to access netflix or youtube?

Why does my macbook pro stop loading the webpage (in safari) every time I try to access netflix or youtube?

Back up all data before proceeding.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

It might be broken. Take your machine to your local Apple Store or an AASP for a free diagnosis and estimate for repair.

I just recently upgraded to Mavericks. Why does it take awhile to load messages in mail after I click to open them?

I just recently upgraded to Mavericks. Why does it take awhile to load messages after I click to open them?

I should have put more info with my question. Anyway, I regularly use Seamonkey with its built-in mail client because it works so well. I also can use the Yahoo site's mail feature and the mail also goes out instantly once I click on the send button. Only Mail takes up to 32 seconds to send out a mail. I watch the spinning wheel churn until the whoosh sound comes. Not acceptable, that is why I use Seamonkey. Another iMac in the house shows the same low level of performance sending out the mail from that computer, and that computer uses the ultra-fast Comcast internet while my computer uses the AT&T land line. I tried changing some of the settings, like changing the port numbers to no avail. I returned to the recommended AT&T port setting. Since I have never been able to get Mail to work the way I want it, I switched to Seamonkey, but have always been curious as to why it wants to take so long. I like Safari as the browser a little better, but will use Seamonkey because it has it all and works the way it should. Unless a cure for that elongated wait with the outgoing mail is found, I will have to stay with Seamonkey.

When I start mozilla or open any link in a new window I get the desired page to load but an additional new tab page opens up along with it, fix?

When I start mozilla or open any link in a new window I get the desired page to load but an additional new tab page opens up along with it. I've tried switching my homepage to different things (new tab, firefox home, show blank page) but I always get an additional new tab to open. How do I get only a single page to open?

Why does the apple icon come on then off then a white screen appears?

Why does the apple icon come on then off then a white screen appears?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

"My Yahoo" page loads up as a blank white page, with no error messages or anything. Any ideas why?

I started a thread on this topic many months ago, and have yet to see any reply for support for this topic. The issue I have had now for over 6 months is that Firefox will not load my "My Yahoo" page at all. I get no error messages or anything, just a blank, white screen when I try to load it. I can load this same page in IE as well as Chrome, but I much prefer to use Firefox if I can. I did follow all of the instructions and ideas that are out on the forum for handling similar problems such as this, but with no success. Clear Cache, History, etc, as well as disabling Add-Ons, restarting, etc, as well as setting proxy settings to No Proxy, etc, etc. Does anyone have ideas ideas as to why Firefox is no longer able to load "My Yahoo" page, but I am able to load things like my Yahoo Mail page successfully? Thank you in advance for any ideas anyone has on this.

Firstly, a heartfelt "Thank You" for the prompt reply. I have gone through the steps you outlined above in the past, with no success, but I did them again just to be certain. One other thing that took place since posted this a few days ago, is that I "Updated Firefox, to 9.0.1 and after I did that, then Firefox would not even load at all. I kept getting a Firefox has crashed pop up, etc. So I figured before I could go through the steps you outlined above, I needed to "Uninstall and Reinstall" Firefox once again. I did this, and loaded the Yahoo Optimized version since apparently the generic version of Firefox, 9.0.1 must have some bugs that did not allow it to load up on my computer. After reloaded Firefox, I proceeded to go through the steps you have outlined above, and as typical, I still have the same problem, even in Safe Mode. My Yahoo comes up as a Blank White Page... no error messages or anything, just a blank white page. Since I have posted this I have been forced to use Google Chrome, and I really hate using that browser, but I don't know what else to do here. Any other ideas please? Thank you once again.
Note: Even as I am typing this Firefox is coming up with a pop up window, suggesting I update to version 9.0.1 since it is a security and stability update. However I won't do this, because the last time I did, Firefox would not load at all.

Why does Firefox not display symbols and diacritic marks correctly in html pages

I reset my profile because of a problem displaying a particular web page.
I am now using the reset profile. Using this profile Firefox does NOT correctly display symbols and diacritic marks in my html pages. Such pages were correctly displayed in my old profile. They are pages containing text in French and Spanish.
Examples: é «
Why aren't the symbols and marks displaying correctly in a brand new profile when they displayed correctly in my old profile.

What is View > Character Encoding set to? In my installation it's set to UTF-8.

Clicking on Group Tree is causing all previous pages to load first (Crystal XI)

Hi,
If I click on a record in the Group Tree all the previous records are loading first. Is this normal? Is it possible to have only the selected record load?
Thanks,
Dan

I have tried a few DNS servers -- no improvement I can see, but since it is only a sometimes thing, I can't say for sure.
Something new I've noticed, which may be related somehow: For the past few days, I've been having trouble with my high speed cable connection. Cable company (Comcast) says the modem reports a good connection, but from time to time no internet access is available (Widgets, browsers, et al can't connect to anything).
When this happens, or maybe just before it does, if I click on a link in a page in Safari, the gear wheel in the tab appears but does not show any activity until I move the cursor. IOW, its 'spokes' don't spin. Once I move the pointer, even by just a pixel or two, the spokes start spinning, after which the page may or may not eventually load.
I've waited as much as two minutes before moving the cursor, so I'm pretty sure this isn't just coincidence.
Anyone seen anything like this?

When I open a new link and then switch back to the original page why does it go all the way back to the top of page?

Scroll to the middle or bottom of a page with many links (like ebay) then close the link and when it returns to original page you are sent all the way back to the top of the page, why does it not switch back to the area of the page I was originally viewing?

Try here:
Tools > Options > Applications
Enter JPEG into the search box and change any that say "Save file" to "Always ask".
Does it work?
Edit: Forgot one other relevant setting. On:
Tools > Options >General tab
pick "Always ask me where to save files"
All good now?

Why does solid black type become screened in my PDF?

I have created a document in InDesign CS3 (5.0.4) on a Windows XP (SP3) system (3 GHz Pentium processor, 3.5 GB of RAM).
This document is composed of solid black text set in the Futura typeface. There is no transparency, opacity effect, or screen value used on the text.
When I export this document to PDF, the sold black text becomes screened to something like 90%. I used "Press Quality" and manually set the color output to "No Color Conversion". I have also set it to convert to destination: US Web Coated. The result is the same: screened text when it should be solid.
I printed the resulting PDF to a Xerox 4510N postscript printer but have seen this problem when working as a pre-press technician working an image setter.
Why does this happen and how do I stop it? Solid black type should print solid black!

From what I can see the text is solid black. There is no border color on the vector fonts, but the fill is black. If you zoom in you can also see it as solid black. You may be seeing a pixel issue, related to the zoom you have set and possibly the line thickness of the font. I am not sure what you mean by screened. If you are seeing something that looks wrong on screen, you might consider the smoothing option on the fonts, particularly if you are on a notebook (they tend to show pixels a bit more).
