Have you tried the suggestions in this article? [[What to do if you can't download or save files]].
Also, although it's not a complete replacement, I usually print those kinds of pages to PDF.

Why does a name become red in Messenger even if it's a mobile phone number?

Why does a name become red in Messenger even if it's a mobile phone number?

Why on Earth, in 2012, would Apple create another walled garden, and not enable iMessaging to regular people's mobile phones? It makes no sense, at least none I can think of.
I can send txt msgs to anyone from my iPhone ... why not from Messages as well?
Is there a way to enable Messages to send to SMS devices?

Just updated Firefox to 3.6.9 Adobe was updated also. Why does Adobe keep trying to update everytime a new Firefox window is started?

This action is very annoying. Whenever a new Firefox instance is started, a window pops up saying it is updating Adobe. Then another window comes up showing what is being updated. But it is blank.

You appear to have AVG installed:
*See --> http://forums.avg.com/ww-en/avg-forums?sec=thread&act=show&id=173969#post_173969
From reading on the internet, it appears that when there is a spike in memory usage, AVG "interprets" that as a memory leak, possibly caused by malware. AVG could be incorrect concerning that assumption. Maybe they are being a bit too conservative about memory usage; just my opinion.
The decision is yours to turn off the "advisor" or leave it on.

Why does my image blink on and off when using selecton tool

This is due to the hardware acclerated drawing not working properly because your graphics hardware doesn't support it right. This is usually resolved by updating the graphics driver to the latest version. If this is not possible, turn off OpenGL in Preferences --> Performance.

Why does my screen keep flashing white when I use my front facing camera?

I have an iPhone 4s running iOS 5.1. Whenever I use my front facing camera, the footage I take shows a white flash on the screen every second or so. It looks almost like the glare that you get from looking straight into a flashlight. This doesn't happen every time time I film, and when it does, it can easily be solved by stopping and restarting again, but it's still annoying.

This issue is associated with your graphics driver not being compatible with PS' hardware acceleration. Updating the driver if possible would be advisable, otherwise turn off OpenGL drawing under Preferences --> Performance.

On my MacBook Pro with Retina Display, Why does the "USB Devices Disabled Unplug the device using too much power to re-enable USB devices" keep coming up after I unplugged the usb device?

On my MacBook Pro with Retina Display 15", that I purchased a few weeks ago, started coming up with the following message on my desktop:
"USB Devices Disabled Unplug the device using too much power to re-enable USB devices".
I unplugged the device and the message still keeps coming up.
This is what I have done so far to troubleshoot:
I shut down the laptop. When booting up I pressed the command+option+p+r at the same time. It comes up with a menu to reinstall OSX, Get help online, Run Disk Utility, etc. I choose the disk utility and repair the disk and then restarted.
The message keeps popping up and I can't seem to get rid of it. Why does the message keep popping up even though I don't have any devices hooked up to the laptop at all? Any help to reenable my usb ports and get rid of the messaage would be helpful.

I talked to Apple Support and we at least stopped the bleeding, a little bit. These are the troubleshooting steps I did before I contacted Apple Support:
1. Reinstalled OSX
2. Restore the last known good Time Machine Backup.
This did not fix my issue, so I called Apple Support and they told me this:
1. Turn Power off.
2. Wait 15 seconds.
3. Plug in Magsafe adapter.
4. Wait 15 seconds.
5. Hold down the Shift+Option+Power Button for 20-30 seconds.
6. Turn Power back on.
Ok, this stopped the bleeding a little, but as soon as I plugged in a Apple USB Superdrive
and a Apple Mini Displayport to VGA Adapter. This "USB Devices Disabled" pop-up pops up like every 30 minutes now. At least, it is not constantly popping up after I close it, so I guess it will do for the temporary. Going to contact Apple support, later, though to see what else can be done.

Why does a different number come up when i use imessage instead of text? my friends keep responding to my msg with 'who is this?' since ios 5 update.!!?

Why does a different number come up when i messaging to other i phones? My friends keep responding to my imessage with 'who is this' and apparently it comes from another number-not my usual number like texts...

Thanks. The number shown against 'phone' is not my number. But it is the number my friend showed me that was coming up when she got my mgs.... Still confused!

Why does Shock Wave keep crashing? Only crashes on Firefox browser.

Every time I use Firefox browser, I get the error message: "Shockwave Flash is either busy or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the plug in now, or wait to see if the plug in will complete." I also get another one saying that the "Silverlight script is still running" and then I have to wait several minutes before I can view the page. I have uninstalled Silverlight Flash and reinstalled, yet I keep getting either that message or the "script is still running" one ONLY on Firefox. It freezes my web page screen for several minutes. When I use Safari, this never happens. Plug-ins work just fine. It appears that without Silverlight or Shockwave Flash that I cannot watch any videos. I tried YouTube and couldn't open any videos without Silverlight.
Please don't suggest resetting Firefox because I've already done that. I still cannot open Yahoo.com home page because I keep getting an error message and I have to go around it by opening news.yahoo.com instead. I have Windows 7 on an Acer laptop.
Meanwhile I have reset my default browser to Safari, even though I don't have an Apple computer. It works better than Firefox. Are you planning on fixing the rampant plug-in problem with Firefox?

I have the exact same problem on my ipad mini. It says 'google earth is running low on memory' and crashes.

Why does my Mac (OS 10.7) warn me that Firefoxs' latest edition will cause harm to my computer? I ignored the warning , Scrolls rapidly & Beeps!

My Mac is an Intel core 2 duo, 233GHz, using OS 10.7. I've used Firefox for years without an issue. But as soon as I loaded the recommended update my computer has been doing a number of operations on its own. So far it has rapidly begun to scroll down menus and Word pages, when the computer is idle or when I'm keying in information it starts to beep (sometimes fast). Initially, it was giving me fits while typing, by changing regular characters (not all, but many) to symbols. I have reloaded my OS updates and have some stability reestablished. However, problems are still popping up now and then. I am currently running an older version of Firefox.

Download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new (latest) Firefox version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
*Firefox 17.0.1: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
*Trash the current Firefox application (e.g. open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re-)install
*Install the new version that you have downloaded
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Installing+Firefox+on+Mac
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

Why does this message appear? "To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action (such as a search or order confirmation) that was performed earlier."

I am in ebay and this message keeps coming up when I try to freshen the page.

same issue. started happening when I upgraded to the latest FF (3.6.3). very annoying. happens when i use my back button or click refresh.

Why does my MBP on Mavericks freeze whenever there is a Power Source switch?

As the title suggests, whenever I plug my MBP to a power source or remove the power adapte, the why system freezes for a while (30sec to 1min?).
After the freezing, everything is working again.
Does this thappen to anyone else?
Thanks.

Hi Aerithm,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you're experiencing unexpected behavior when switching power sources, I'd suggest resetting the SMC first:

Why does my video become longer after exporting from Flash?

I am a relative novice in Flash and working in CS5. When I test my file, it plays perfectly with the audio I embedded in my timeline. I tried a couple different compressions when exporting into a Quicktime file, but my video which is only 32 seconds long at 30 fps becomes 52 seconds long! The animation slows considerably, and yet the audio I embeded plays perfectly. Any advice as to how I can get it to match the "test movie" option so I can get this bad boy on YouTube?
PLEASE and THANK YOU!

Without knowing the overall innards of the timeline it's hard to suggest a strategy other than those already mentioned. A clean test worked fine so the audio doesn't seem to be the issue.
Can you explain what is "buggy" about the output from the converters? Again, those should only be used if there's code involved to facilitate the animation. They essentially run the SWF and attempt to capture each frame as an image while stitching them together into a video. It's a fairly simple thing to do so it's hard to go wrong unless the hardware on the computer isn't keeping up with the SWF frame rate.
Flash CS6 is not compaible (to my knowledge) with 10.8 so that works to your advantage. Perhaps you can try downloading a trial of Flash CS6 and see if your export issue goes away. It won't solve why CS5 is giving you issues but it does put the power in your hands to export it for now. If it still fails to export that's a pretty convincing argument that a gremlin on the timeline is monkeying around.

Why does Outlook 2010 become non-responsive and freeze up when printing to Acrobat XI? What is the fix / or work around?

I just upgraded from Acrobat Reader X to Acrobat Standard XI. Now when I attempt to print e-mails from Outlook 2010, Outlook crashes and becomes "not responding". I have removed all Adobe software from my machine. Run a repair on Outlook 2010. Reloaded Acrobat XI, and still the MS application hangs up. I have spent WAY TOO MANY hours screwing around with this. I work at a multi-national company....technical... blah, blah, blah,... $$$, time..., infrastructure...., blah, blah, blah. I have read some about this problem in the forums already... it seems this problem has been in the light.
Stop holding up the show.... society has enough problems. We're supposed to be the leaders!
What is the fix, or at least, what is the work around.

Not sure how to do this except to reply to myself.
The question I asked is not "answered," but for whatever reason Acrobat XI has settled down and is working normally as before. Don't have a clue why. I did not make any further changes in anything. Thanks to those who read my question and pondered.
