Why is FF 5 using a third to one half of CPU time, but isn't doing anything?

I am running FF5 on a WinXP system. With only two tabs open on websites that are static, FF is using between 27 and 33% of CPU time. Why is this happening?

See the thing is, I've already read that post a dozen times. It seems to be
the de facto response to all these "CUDA isn't working" questions, haha. I
know what CUDA is and how it works. My issue with that page is that it's
four years old, and the only two updates aren't dated and they're vague.
The CUDA capable effects list on that page is just outdated. I've also gone
down several rabbit holes of links starting on that page, which end on
broken links or non-CUDA-related content.
With all that said, that page does specifically mention cropping, scaling,
and exporting as GPU accelerated. In my example, I'm using the warp
stabilizer set to smooth motion - position, scale, rotation, and I'm not
using any crazy export settings, just defaults with 2-pass selected instead
of 1-pass for example.

Why can´t I use original HPinkcartridges from one HP printer to another HPprinter it says use origin

why can´t I use original HPinkcartridges from one HP printer to another HP printer, it says use original cartridges -
but they are original?

If the printers are identical that should not be a problem. If the printers are not identical then it simply will not work. Each printer uses different cartridges unless it is from the same model group as the other.
In analogy that would be like asking why the spark plugs from a Porsche don't work in your PT Cruiser.

Why can't I use iDisk for a back-up disk for Time Capsule?

G'Day All,
I am new to apple and mostly am loving it! Being new to this product has me asking some basic questions, like ... why can't I use iDisk for a back-up disk for Time Capsule?
Here I have something like 20 gb disk space available, but it seems I need to buy an external hard drive (or an airport) in order to use, what I believe is one of apples greatest inventions, the Time Machine...
Can anyone correct my flawed understanding or, better yet, teach me how to do it properly?
Cheers

Speed makes sense, but I thought I had plenty of size available ... never mind! Looking over some of the other posts, it looks as though I'd be better off with an external Hard drive than the Apple Time Capsule (if I want more than 12-18months service).
That was true of some of the ones made a couple of years ago (many of which Apple replaced way beyond the warranty period, and even some beyond the 3-year AppleCare period). Presumably Apple has fixed the power supply problem in the newer units, so they'll last longer.
If you don't have AppleCare for your Mac, I'd strongly suggest buying it. If you do, and buy a TimeCapsule, Airport, or other accessory within 2 years, it's covered, too.
But unless you need a wireless router, yes, paying for one in a Time Capsule doesn't make sense. A good external HD is a much better buy.
thank you for the links - I am still getting used to the way Apples work ...

The computer that I had my iphone apps synced to has died and I don't know how to get access to my apps on the new computer. I'm using a Windows pc. I understand that I can only have my apps synced to one computer at a time, but the former pc is dead.

My HP Touchsmart died the other day. My husband works on computers as a hobby and was able to get me up and running on a Dell laptop in no time. I have an iPhone 4s and had all my apps on itunes on my HP. I understand that you can only have your iPhone apps synced to one computer at a time, but what do you do when the computer containing all your info is in unusable condition? I have tried deauthorizing all the computers associated with my account, that did not work. I had this problem once before and finally ( after much blood sweat and tears ) was able to deauthorize the old computer, but it was in working order. Two of the computers that are listed under the iTunes Wi-Fi Sync setting are no longer in use, the HP had my apps synced to it and the other had everything else except my photos, which are on a third computer that is still in use. Please forgive for information overload but am trying to give all the info that I think could be relevant. Your help would be appreciated so much!
Sincerely,
PiPI

Or better yet... try a search, I'm certain you'll find a solution to whatever issue you're experiencing.
I have found that many times it is the things that make you most angry that push you to action. This was the case here. Thank you for causing me to get so angry that I found the answer myself.

I can only use Flash Player in one tab at a time, only on Firefox.

Recently, when I downloaded the new Flash Player, I can only use flash player in one tab at a time. This is only in firefox. I'll open youtube, and the visual and sound both play perfectly. I open up a new tab, begin using a flash website in that tab, and the youtube sound is quiet, only the visual continues to play. I need to multitask with flash sometimes, and this is a big problem for me. Help!

By default, Flash 11.3 and higher will spin up a lot of distinct processes. You should be able to get quite a cacophony going.
Have you ever done any troubleshooting that involves changing how Firefox works with plugin-container.exe or the Flash player's protected mode?
Often it is helpful to disable hardware graphics acceleration in Firefox and in Flash:
(A) In Firefox, un-check the box here and restart:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > General > "Use hardware acceleration when available"
(B) In Flash, see this support article from Adobe: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues
Unrelated, but you can remove the Java Console extensions unless you are a Java developer (and even then, you probably don't need the old ones):
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category

We have 30 ipads at our school and it is great. We are about 850 student on my school and everyone are using the ipads. One hour at the time. (we have a booking system.)
I teach music and are using Garageband. I need to find away were my students that are working on a project can export the files and save them somewhere, so when they 7 days later open Garage band can import there song with all the correct midi-tracks. When I export the song to Icloud the song become an Mp4 file (I think). And I can import the files via Icloude.
This is because too many times the song has been sabotages during the week
Dan Sweden

Dan,
your students could store their projects in iCloud, only you would continously have to change the AppleIDs of the iPads, so each student could store the songs with their own AppleID. I don't think this will be feasable.
The other possibility would be to share the projects to iTunes and to download them to iTunes on a Mac at the end of each lesson. Does your school have Macs? This will not work with PCs.
See this link: GarageBand for iPad: Get answers fast http://help.apple.com/garageband/ipad/1.2/index.html#chsec12c387
Look at the section "Share GarageBand songs",
Send a GarageBand song to iTunes:

I recently wanted to update my phone and so when i put it in recovery mode and tried to set it up it said that i had to enter the apple id that i used to set up the phone the first time but i dont know the information to my old account what can i do?

You will need to remember or find the id that you used, without it you won't be able to re-activate your phone - if you are on the activation screen then does that show the first letter of the id and the email provider's name ?
Do you know if you have any of the account's downloads in computer's iTunes library - if you do then you can get the id form that : Recovering a forgotten iTunes Store account name.
If not then see if you can find it via http://appleid.apple.com : Apple ID: How to find your Apple ID.

Can apple tv be set up on a network to be used on more than one tv at a time?

I am trying to find out if I can use my Apple TV on more than one TV at a time over a home wireless network?

It only has a single HDMI out.
Unless you can find some third party solution or AV amp that will duplicate the output over additional HDMI outputs the answer is no.
You could take an AppleTV from room to room where it is needed and connect to the TV in use, but if you want more than one AppleTV feed best to get another AppleTV...

Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

With version 4 why can't I go back more than one page at a time. Used to be able to jump back with older version.

I don't want to refresh - I want to be able to jump back several pages - i.e..on one site - link took me to another site - done with that one - want to go back quickly to the original site..?

Using a third party ext hard drive with time machine via aiport extreme

Hi all,
I have a 500GB external hard drive connected to my Airport Extreme Base Station 802.11n and so far have been unsuccessful in getting Time Machine to work with this.
I have been told this is possible, but cannot figure out how to do it.
_+*Any ideas?*+_
We have one Macbook running 802.11n and one running 802.11g that is unable to be upgraded (as Core Duo, not Core 2 Duo).
Thanks,
tkoe

TM suports WiFi backup only to TimeCapsule.
There are unauthorized hacks to force TM to use WiFi links and you can search for them in these forums. I do not recommend a hack when it comes to preserving valuable data.

Why are people still using a browser that wants to censor any views with which it does not agree?

Mozilla drives out its CEO because he contributed $1000 to support a particular law in 2008 . Then it claims it values diversity. We all know that censors like Mozilla have NO place on the Internet --so PLEASE BOYCOTT MOZILLA --please fight for what little freedom we still have to hold differing views.

Hi FirstAmendment,
Thank you for contacting Mozilla about this issue and taking the time to share your thoughts.
The decision to step down was made by Brendan. Since the moment Brendan was appointed, free and open discussion has come from a diverse spectrum of viewpoints. Mozilla is an organization that believes in openness and that no one should be persecuted for the beliefs they hold, no matter what those beliefs are. We believe in unconditional freedom and openness. That's why we support rights for everyone.
As this is the Firefox support forum I can only help with questions related to the specific product. If you need more info about Mozilla's CEO you can check the resources below:

I can't get firefox (Linux) to use flashplayer. I've installed a dozen times but it doesn't show up in tools/add-ons.

I've tried installing flash player a dozen times, with both the instructions on the adobe page and the mozilla page. I'm running Fedora Core 11 with Mozilla 3.5.9. I've gotten "libflashplayer.so" and copied it to every "mozilla/plugins" directory on the drive. It does not work and is not listed when I bring up "tools/add-ons." One instruction said to copy "flashplayer.xpt" to the "mozilla/commponents" directory, but the download included no such file and I have no such directory. (Probably pertains to an older version.) I've tried downloading it with the .tar, .gzip, and yum; all with the same result. It doesn't work online and doesn't show up in my plug-ins.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Only time I've tried to install it.

I had a problem with Fedora 15-64bit + Firefox 64bit + flash player plugins. I finally found that the plugins must be put in: /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins.
I downloaded the 64-bit version of the flash plugins at : http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10_square.html Decompressed it and move the file libflashplayer.so to /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins (you need to be super user to do that). Restarted Firefox and it worked ! My guess is that if you use 32-bit plugins then you must put them in /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins-wrapped but I didn't try.
Arg ! It took me the whole evening to find that !

Why is FF 5 using a third to one half of CPU time, but isn't doing anything?
