Why does FF 9 work part of the time and others I can't even get it to load a webpage. When I open it, it says about blank and Tab on the tab bar. Will not let me go to any websites. HELP Please!!
After FF 9 installed every little while I lose whatever page I am on and it goes to about blank. When I tried to reload my pages it just sits there. Yesterday I was about to uninstall it and it started working fine again. This morning it decided to stop again, I have uninstalled it, rebooted and reinstalled and it's still doing this.
I never had this problem with any of the other versions. It all started with FF 9. It downloaded itself after I told it ignore update. I am getting very flustered with this happening.
It acts like it has a mind of its own when it comes to when it is going to work for me or not. I need to fix this somehow. I even tried reinstalling 7 again and it did the same thing as 9 does now. I took it back off and put 9 back on since neither want to work properly.
Thanks for reading and thanks for the advice. Perhaps I'll ask them about it next time this problem occurs, although carrying the thing through a mall that is only about a mile away is the least of my worries. I'll do if it is both free (I don't make enough at my job to pay for such a service) and relatively speedy, although I'd hate for them to come over and for the computer to work properly (as bad as that sounds). It'd be a wasted trip and nothing would get fixed.
I'm contemplating videotaping myself performing my "fixes" on it the next time I have this problem.

New iPhone 3g...will not let me install FREE Applications. Help please!
I just got the iPhone 3g and every time I go into the Apps Store on my phone and attempt to install a free apllication, I am prompted to put in my Apple ID and Password. I always put them in correctly (I just reset my password thinking that was the problem) but I always get the following message:
"Authorization failed. Please connect to iTunes."
Connecting to iTunes gets me nowhere and I am so stuck. Can someone please advise? Thank you so much in advance!
-TonyThe only advice I can give is:
1. Make sure you are logged into iTunes on your computer before you sync. Your accuont info only gets synced over on sync when you are logged into iTunes on your computer.
2. If that doesn't work, give a reboot a try.
A reset/reboot is:
Go to Home Screen
Press and Hold Home Button
Keep holding and press and hold Lock Button
Keep holding Both
You will see Slide to Turn Off (Don't let go to slide, just keep holding)
The phone will turn off (in time, but screen will look like it has some white lines)
Keep Holding
When you see the Apple Logo, you can let go.
Turning off via the Slide to Turn off while good and fine to turn off, is more like the Sleep Mode on a computer. Thus any locked up issues in memory remain when you turn back on. A reboot as described is like doing a real Turn off and Turn On on a computer.
You may also wish to read this tread about reboots and odd application behavior.

I am trying to import my bookmarks from IE and have read the instructions, but the Import button under File is grayed out and will not let me import. Any ideas?
* Make sure that you not run Firefox in [[Private Browsing]] mode
* In Private Browsing mode some menu items are disabled (grayed) and features like visited links are disabled and not showing
* You are in Private Browsing mode if you see "Tools > Stop Private Browsing", possibly grayed

my itunes keeps telling me to contact support when i try to connect a visa card and will not let me buy music. any ideas why?
No one here can say specifically why. But you need to do what it says, contact iTunes Support. Click the Suppor tab above then the link under the Contact Us area and you'll be take to a page where you'll be guided appropriately.

i just updated my phone & now it will not let me go into any of my apps that were installed or purchased
Try rebooting the device by pressing and holding the on/off and home buttons simultaneously until the screen goes blank and you see the apple logo. It should take about 10-15 seconds to reboot.

My iphone 4s keeps overheating and will not let me go on any of my apps as well as send any messages. plus my contract isn't up for another 6 months, what can i do?
RESOLVED!!! I logged on to my Straight Talk online account, and did a Tech Chat. They immediately gave me a direct phone number and a Reference PIN number and asked me to contact their iPhone specialty support. I called (of course the gentleman's accent was very difficult for me to understand, but managed with asking continually for clarity). He walked me through several tests, setting changes and had me get on my wifi to obtain the latest APN settings. None of his efforts worked ad it was obviously NOT my Straight Talk iPhone 5, 64GB CDMA (no SIM) - it was something with their setting on their end on my account. I was placed on hold a few times and he would come back on to have me try to get on Safari and even Google... after the 3rd on-hold, he returned and asked me to try to use my data again without the wifi turned on and BINGO it worked... I still do not have my wifi turned on and I'm still receiving texts from YESTERDAY too while I was away from wifi service. IF you come across this issue - please call Straight Talk and/or log on to your Straight Talk online account and talk to an online customer service representative and get their direct line phone number for iPhone support and have your Reference PIN number available. Good Luck

IPhoto9.3.2 on 10.7.4 will not let me delete photos any more
iPhoto9.3.2 on a iMac i7 2.93 GHz with 12GB running MacOS 10.7.4 will not let me delete photos any more, neither delete, comman delete or even emptying the trash works since i updated it a week ago.
anyone else have the same problem or a solution?Same issue, but it's more involved... I don't use iphoto much, just to store photos, but I first noticed the problem about 2 months ago when trying to delete a photo. It would not delete, and afterwards iphoto would hang on close, and trying to delete caused a crash entry in the log. here's some details:
OS X 10.7.4, and 10.7.3. Possibly earlier.
iphoto 9.3.2, and one of the version 8's as well. Recently updated it.
If you try to delete a photo, here is the subsquent syslog:

I have repaired, and rebuilt the database. No change.
I have created a new database, imported 1 photo, and tried to delete it. No change.
I have copied the database (duplicated). No change.
I have deleted the iphoto preferences file. No change.
I have removed the application, and reinstalled from my iLife 11. No change.
I have removed the application and preferences folder, reinstalled from iLife 11. No change.
In addition to not being able to delete a photo, these additional problems exist:
Cannot delete an event.
Cannot move a photo from one event to another.
At this point, I'm fairly sure this is not a database issue. I'm also certain it's not related to the new update. Anyone got an idea that isn't related to the database? -

I have just reformatted my drive and reinstalled creative cloud and lightroom. When i open it, it says there is another version running the catalog and i have to switch to it to fix the problem, but there is no other version on my computer. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Where did you put the LR catalog?
Did you install the same version of LR, which one?
OS and version?
Open the folder where the catalog (*.lrcat) is located. If you see a file with lock in it while LR is not running, delete it.
Now try to start LR again. -

IPod shows as camera and will not let me use as disk space. Please Help!!
Okay, so i know that this has probably been asked before, but every similar question i read was a little different from my specific problem. Maybe someone on here can help me. :)) *crosses fingers*
I've had my iPod Touch since summer, and I just got a new laptop for Christmas. So I want to transfer my iTunes over to my new computer, of course. I read the tutorial on Apple Support, but when I went to drag my Library over to my iPod, it was showing up in My Computer as a camera, and will not let me use it as disk space. I've also followed the steps to stop the automatic Camera pop-up when I plug in my iPod. Yes, my iPod is set up on manual, so disk use SHOULD be enabled, correct? I am positive that I also have the latest iTunes software. AND my USB ports are up to date.
Sorry for the overly-thorough problem description, but I have read too many of the similar posts, and I know all the usual suggestions. But seriously, any help is appreciated. Thanks guys.
-Happy New Year
Message was edited by: music_sedativeHi,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Sorry to say that you cannot use an iPod Touch as an "external" drive, unlike the "Classic" etc. which I believe have this feature.
To transfer your library you will have to back it up to disc(s), a different type of HD or use a network to send the files over.
Good luck,
Dud.

I use google as my homepage. Very often( every day at some point) when I search a subject and click on the address, a google search page come up with list of choices. When I click on address it simply returns to this page and will not let me access any websites either by clicking on them, opening in new window or tab, nor allowing me to access anything from the address line. When this occurs, it just keeps looping into this page. I clear cache, shut down, and try everything possible. Occurs very randomly and never when I first turn on the computer. ???????

Is your device recognized by your computer? If yes, copy the pictures and videos as shown in this article:
Copying personal photos and videos from iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your computer
If it is not recognized, try this first: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
Disable autosync in iTunes, right click on it in the device list and choose "transfer purchases" to copy apps and other media bought in iTunes to your new library.
Do the same again and choose "backup", to create a manual backup without syncing.
Since your device will be erased due to the new iTunes library during the first sync, you can use this backup afterwards to restore your settings and data.
Set up at least one contact and event on your computer before you start, to be able to merge calendars and contacts.
