Why does it take numerous times to get firefox to work on my computer

When I start my computer and I click on firefox sometimes it will not appear or takes ages and sometimes I have to reboot the computer. I can click on Google chrome no problem and very quickly. This seemed to be a problem after using homealot program on your site.
I clear cookies and tempory files on a daily basis. How do I get rid of this homealot program or do you have any other suggestions. Its very frustrating.

This is probably not a problem with the iPad, but with the wi-fi. If your internet connection and/or wi-fi speeds are slow, then loading web pages will be slow. If I was you, I would research different kinds of wireless routers to find the fastest one in your price range, and also research different kinds of modems.

Why Does IT Take SOOOOO Long To Get New Shows And Podcast Updates!!!!!

Why Does IT Take SOOOOO Long To Get New Shows And Podcast Updates!!!!! It seems to me that it takes and unusually long time for TV shows to be uploaded to itunes and it takes FOREVER (VH1) to get Podcast updates. Also I notice that Vh1's Best Week Ever is a hit or miss deal. Some weeks it's on iTunes and some weeks it's not......why?
Paul

The iTunes store simply provides a link to the originating podcast server.
When the podcast owner puts a new episode up, it is available.

Lion ordered via telephone - why does it take 1 week to get an email with the link to the online shop? Is Apple sending out emails by post?

Telphone order of OS X Lion - Delivery: email with download link - So, why would that take 1 week to be delivered??? I remember times when Data connection was so slow that it would actually take 1 week to send today's sizes of email - but that was 25 years ago...

Why are you bothering to upgrade to Lion?
If your machine is one of those that can't upgrade to the better Mountian Lion, then it's much better off remaining on Snow Leopard because of all the legacy software your running won't need to be replaced.
The Lions and beyond won't run your PPC software, and likely most of your Intel software neither, no Rosetta!
A older machine that can only run Lion is a dated machine, and likely due to expire soon.
I can't see even bothering to go to Lion and having to buy all new software for a old machine, not at your stage.
A newer 10.8 machine would be a better choice, because you know Apple releases a new OS X version every year now and the year is almost up, so if you get to 10.7, then your going to be behind again shorty anyway on the old machine, but the new machine you can upgrade OS X to the latest new version.
It doesn't make much sense at this point and time to upgrade to Lion for you, the older machine will run best with Snow Leopard anyway.
If you MUST use one of the OS X Lions, then I suggest a new machine, that way it can be upgraded further.
Apple is still issuing security updates for Snow Leopard, it's got a 1/3 apx market share.
OS X 10.4/10.5 need to upgrade, 10.6.8 ok still

Why does it take so long to get my downloads for a season pass?

So, I bought a season pass for "How I Met Your Mother" Season 7.
The newest episode has been up for download for at least 8 hours, but I still can't download it with my season pass. Is there a way around this? How?
I live overseas, and this is one of the few indulgences from back home we get.

Without knowing the specific program you're referring to I can only offer general comments. Rebates are generally processed by a company that specialized in handing those for vendors, and as such, processing amid the many thousands if not millions of other claims takes a while. Most Apple rebate programs I've seen say to allow up to eight weeks for the rebate check or promotional item to arrive.

Why does it take 7-42 minutes for Firefox 4 to open once I click the icon? (I have timed it, yes.)

I'm writing this on ie, which I HATE, because since I installed F4, it will not start up in a reasonable time. I did all the basic troubleshooting, uninstalled and re-installed it, checked the options, etc but nothing works. Everything elso on my computer works instantly, except F4. What's up with that and am I going to have to go back to using the hated ie all the time?

It sounds to me like the installation didn't perform correctly.
What I suggest you do is to go to Add/Remove Programs and uninstall it, but don't checkmark the option to remove your bookmarks, customizations etc.
Before you do that though, go to [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/?ref=logo Download Firefox 4.0] and download a fresh installation file.
After you uninstall the existing installation, reboot.
It's also wise to disable your AV before installing again. If you've got AVG, this is particularly difficult because it doesn't have an Exit option. Instead, you have to open MSCONFIG and remove the checkmark from '''AVG Watchdog '''which disables everything. Any changes to MSCONFIG requires a reboot I regret to say.

Can't get firefox to work

i can not get firefox to work on my computer with windows xp it worked once before but it won't work at all now i even unistalled it and re- installed it and still nothing could u please help me with this issue .

Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test.
*http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/how-to-start-windows-in-safe-mode/
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
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

Why does it take for a month to get internet services?

I'd like to know why does it take for a month to get internet services? I ordered my service on Jan 18,2012 and I got the installation kit on Jan 21,2012. But I can't use the internet and I have to wait until Feb 9,2012 for my service ready date. I think it takes a long time. I need the internet to do my project, but I can't. I'm very disappointed right now. I think I can use the internet after I place my order. (2 or 3 days it's ok, but I have to wait for a month that's terrible) Why can't they just turn on the services? I'd like to know who can i talk with?

Have you tried hooking the modem up, and does it get sync and does the Internet light come on? Even though you technicaly shouldn't do this, the line might already be up and running but they haven't told you yet. I don't know why it takes a month to hook up DSL. In my area, it takes two weeks typically from order to live, whether it's new service or a speed upgrade/downgrade (these are usually one week. They can be done on the spot, though!). No one has ever explained why it takes that long, but I presume it has someting to do with the billing cycle and perhaps line conditioning if they still do that (away from removing bridged taps and load coils), giving a technician time to pick up the service request and perform the task before someone goes, builds the profile for the line and then connects a few cables to an empty slot in a DSLAM and does some other background tasks to bring the connection online.

Why does it take a long time to back up my iPhone?

My iPhone is taking forever to backup. Whenever I pluf it in and it starts to back up it seems to stay on the screen in my iTunes and the bar doesn't move at all. I need help. What should I do?

Extraordinary long backups are caused by an error when an app (or apps) was installed or updated, particularly if you have ever installed or updated using the App Store on the device itself rather than iTunes. Even if you were never aware that there was a problem, they can arise and will cause problems with the backup process. Maybe you did have a problem during an update or install. Maybe the update stalled, or the App Store crashed. These issues are very likely what have been causing your long backups and you didn't even know it. During the backup process these errors cause it to drag and pause for a very long time before it gets moving again. From your view, you just see a normal backup that is taking hours, and undoubtedly annoying you to no end. On the inside, iTunes is trying desperately to get past a roadblock that it doesn't know where it came from.

Why does it take iTunes along time to imports CD'S ?

Hi
I was wondering why does it take iTunes along time to import CD's I am using iTunes version 7.02 . Does anyone else have this problem and how do I fix it?
I would appreciate any help,
lizabler

Hey lizabler!
Here's a sugestion someone found to be a "workaround" for this issue with iTunes 7:
Don't leave iTunes showing the CD screen, which shows the track names and the importing progress. Click on the library, or iTunes store, as not to leave iTunes on the CD importing screen.
After doing this, your importing speed might increase to a good level once more.
I hope that helps you.

Why does it take me so long time to migrate from my old Mac

Why does it take me so long time to migrate from my old Mac?
I just bought a new MacBook Air and using an ethernet cable to migrate all material from my old MacBook Pro, it has now taken med 4 days
and still not done? What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for that gbrenik.
Don't really wanna start reloading all of Lion, but read somewhere that I should start the migration by restarting my source Mac by holding down T during startup, that would do the trick. Is this what I have done wrong?

Why does it take I movie 6 hours to produce thumbnail for a new project

why does it take I movie 6 hours to produce thumbnail for a new project

Hi
Seems very long time.
When my Mac starts to get into a slow-motion in action eg encoding DVDs or alike - it's nearly always due to that free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk is to low.
• I try to never have less than 25Gb free space
• 10Gb - might work but slows down
• 5Gb - slow and instable
• less - incredibly slow, instable and if DVD is produced - it usually doesn't work
This space can not be utilized on other hard disks - Neither for Mac OS or iMovie or iDVDs temp. files - Has to be stored here. No-where else.
Yours Bengt W
