Why does update plugin page never come back from checking my status? It just spins.

Using Firefox 22 on Acer Aspire on a dial-up internet connection. Computer alerted me that it could not view e-card and needed to update a plug-in/add-on and went to the Mozilla plugin check and updates page. It just spins, forever, without reporting back the status of my plugins. Tried clearing cache but made no difference.

What usually happens is that the page loads with the plugin list(s) blank, and as information is retrieved it slots them under up-to-date, out-of-date, and don't-know.
I don't know whether you ran into a temporary glitch, or whether the specific missing or outdated plugin was an issue.
Does it work any better to just load the page directly from a link?<br>https://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/
If it's still not working for you, could you try the page in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to bypass interference by ''extensions'' (and some custom settings). Your plugins will still be active and available for research. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using
Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)
Any difference?

Why does my iPad serial number come back as "changed"?

When troubleshooting a problem with my boyfriend's iPad (that was frozen), using my iPad, we submitted mine's serial number to open a chat with technical support and it came back that it had been changed. We bought my iPad at the Apple store. It's the first generation (dinosaur). Recently, the only weird thing two weeks ago was when I was online participating at an auction and without keying anything, it appeared someone was typing on the keyboard. Other weird things recently include my 2 year old iMac melting down. Does anyone have a theory? Can my devices possibly be pirated? Thanks for any help.

What KIND of CS5 do you have... regular or volume license or OEM that came with a computer or education or ???

MBP 17 2009 LCD does not turn on after coming back from sleep

Hi,
I feel like crying.
I bought my 1st Mac 3-4 days ago and I have not regretted anything more than this.
1st some mov files that Quicktime windows can play but Mac does not (feel like pulling my hair why as the videos with same settings taken with same camera before I got the mac work perfectly from flash drive.
2nd the nVidia 9600m stopped being detected no matter what I did, next morning it magically re-appears (alongwith many things that vanished magically for e.g. options on right clicking images never came)
3rd the MOST BUGGING AND CONSISTENT
I close the lid, it goes to sleep. It has never come back from sleep. The screen will never turn on. Then I force shut down keeping power button pressed. And even after 2-3 restarts the screen doesn't come up. I wait for 2 min and then start. It starts working.
ANY IDEA WHY?
I use a usb mobile braodband modem (Huwaeii telecom's) and have a silly feeling maybe that might case something. But even that doesn't.
My next guess is temperature. I am working in 30-40 degree celcius room temprature range. Maybe that is it.
I think Mac is overrated and it breaks my heart saying that as I spent $2300 over it which is a HUGE amount in my part of the world. I needed it for Final Cut Pro.

I am sorry I do not understand the response. You're saying this is a known issue? Or are you suggesting/asking "IF" it is an OEM issue?
Because the whole problem I have is the "IF". I am not able to comprehend what is the problem.
And Yes the machine is 6 days old. Calling technical support doesn't help.
Apple doesn't look obsessed about customer satisfaction in India (My Luck i bought it from the only iStore in my area, hope they correct it).
The nVidia 9600M is sometimes there sometimes not. Lately even simply starting the machine does not make the screen turn on.''
Is there a debugging to-do list? Oh I am so "OS X"-impaired.
Thanks,
Rachin

Why does it take so long to back up whilst im updating from 4.3.5 to 5.0?

its been on for ages and its not even a quarter of the way backed up!

The Brave New World of AC wireless networking.. where the reality falls far short of the hype.
Unfortunately in an actual transfer situation, the signal to noise of wireless (RSSI figure drops dramatically), It simply uses AC as a link speed but speed is always renegotiated during an actual file transfer.. to some sustainable level. I suspect that level is not AC wireless but N.
It does matter if you run older devices.. nothing with a or b or g wireless should be running in your house. Even n wireless may cause issues.. try turning everything else off and see if you get speed lift.
As far as the time required for a clean up, is this a first backup as they always take a significantly longer time. Once you are doing regular incrementals the time is usually very short.

Interactive report over db_link never comes back

Hi,
I have an interactive report (over db_links) which takes 20 sec. to run in sql workshop, but it never comes back when I run it as an interactive report! I always get an error page due to timeout.
Any idea why?
Thanks.

Hi
The interactive report will change the actual SQL executed even if you have no filters, aggregations etc on. If you look at a trace file you will see COUNT OVER() and the apex max row count stuff.
As the SQL text is different, the optimizer may choose a different execution plan which affects where the different parts of the work is performed (on the local site or the external site). This can change execution times vastly.
So run a 10046 trace without the interactive report and run one with the interactive report. Once you've done this you can determine the more desirable one and think about putting a
/*+ DRIVING_SITE(table_name) */hint in the interactive report query.
Hope this helps.
Cheers
Ben

My early 2011 Macbook Pro on start up has wifi, but drops it soon after and never comes back, AHT shows nothing wrong. Multiple wifi's tried and same on all.

My early 2011 Macbook Pro on start up has wifi, but drops it soon after and never comes back, AHT shows nothing wrong. Multiple wifi's tried and same on all. I have also re-installed OSX from scratch and still happens.

I have the same problem. I have a white macbook 2010, with mavericks os. I just found my mac not powering on and then I tried to run it on safe mode by holding the shift button but it will turn off seconds after I let go of the shift button. I am able to access the desktop and use it while holding the shift button the whole time. It's a bit slower than before but I figured maybe it's because of holding down shift button.
I went to the Apple Store to have them look at my mac and I was told it's a failed hard disk. I wasn't told why he was able to conclude that a failed hard disk is causing the problem, I was just told to get a replacement. But the thing is when I ran Disk Utility it says, "disk appears to be okay." So I also feel like it's possible it's not a hard disk issue because it's also the first time it happened. My mac was working perfectly fine before all this.
Do you know anything else that could cause this problem? Were you able to find out what's wrong?
Thanks.

Connect your phone to a computer and restore your software using iTunes.

Mac OSX 10.6.8 Garage Band '11. This error happens occasionally : I am forced to power-off-on. Pop-up states that error info will be sent to apple. I never hear back from apple. Second prob: Fan sometimes comes on, runs high speed, then slowly stops.

Garage Band '11: pop-up error forces me to power off-on. Message states that info will be sent to Apple.
I never hear back from anyone about this.
Second prob: Fan sometimes comes on, runs high speed, then slowly runs down and stops running.

First thing to do is a SMC Reset, you can find instructions at:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
READ THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY!!!!
Then try Repairing Disk Permissions, do this at least 2x. You will find this in Disk Utility which is located in Applications - Utilities - Disk Utility.
Finally you may need to uninstall Garage Band and reinstall. You may have to use Pacifist to do this, you can find it at:

I'm 90% sure that it's because it crashed and rebooted

Skype shows "Connecting" and never comes back

Upgraded to v7 recently. Running a Win 8 desktop. Had no issues w/Skype for years.
Now, after finally getting what I thought was a successful Installation, Skype just sits their in the desktop tray (pale icon) and says "connecting" and never comes back. Disabled my firewall (which was never a problem before) and it didn't matter.
Frustrated, I clicked the desktop icon and then got another error indicating I am "logged onto this PC with another Skype account", where upon I then try to login to Skype with a different account, and it then infinitely just says "logging in".
I've uninstalled and re-installed countless times (and yes, countless reboots and shut-down / power back on) and I've finally given up using Skype for awhile, since nothing I can do makes a difference.
Any suggestions or help would be appreciated.

Try first to reset all Skype settings.
Quit Skype or use Windows Task Manager to kill any Skype.exe process. Go to Windows Start and in the Search/Run box type %appdata% and then press Enter or click the OK button. The Windows File Explorer will pop up. There locate a folder named “Skype”. Rename this folder to something different, e.g. Skype_old.
Next go to Windows Start and in the Search/Run box type %temp%\skype and then press Enter or click the OK button. Delete the DbTemp folder.
Restart Skype.
N.B. If needed, you will still be able to re-establish your call and chat history. All data is still saved in the Skype_old folder.

Why does my web page reduce so small I can't read it?

Why does my web page reduce so small I can't read it?

The type is small on the website but that's because of all the stuff that they are cramming onto the page. A couple of other users made this same comment about eBay a while ago, as I recall.
There is no setting in Safari in which you can enlarge the size of the text.

Why does my iPhone sync hang at 'backing up'?

Why does my iPhone sync hang at 'backing up'?

Did iTunes ever create a successful backup during a sync? If yes it should be listed there.
Alternativly you can make sure that the iphone backup folder is empty and try again to sync. The folder is located here:
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\

Deep sleep (hibernate) never comes back

Hi,
Since Installing Lion (10.7.1) and upgrading VMware fusion to version 4 deep sleep never comes back. My computer stalls at the "white-grey" screen.
When I had Snow Leopard + Fusion 3.x everything worked fine.
This happens when the VM is running. If the VM is suspended everything works fine.
Obviously I already started a support request with wmware, but they gave only general suggestions and this didnt really solve the problem.
I have tried pmset -g hibernatemode 1, 5, 25.
The last value works a little bit better.
I'd like to know if somebody stumbled across this same problem.

I hate when nobody pings... well, I was passing by and found this today.. I have a kind of a similar problem.. but check if it helps you, if you still needed of course...
