Why the hell do I keep getting this friggin' error msg"Server not found Firefox can't find the server at .................." ?
Done all suggestions in online help (windows firewall settings, updates, ect.) No problem with IE8 with same webpages.
I'm looking for a solution for the "Server Not Found message I keep getting repeatedly, and this thread does not provide a solution.
However, I had to sign in to say that the "Reset Firefox" feature should never be presented as a first solution to any problem. It's a last resort, not first resort. Doing so is lazy thinking and reckless, especially when dealing with users who may be newbies or inexperienced, or who may not read instructions so carefully and understand the ramifications of wiping their settings and customizations.
There are plenty of articles and Knowledge Base entries that touch upon this user's problem, so why wasn't he directed to those, or at least the invariable "Open in safe Mode", before suggesting such a drastic "solution"?

Try resetting your proxy server. Go to Tools, Options, Advanced, Settings and select one. I must do this every time I restart Firefox -- but at least after that, I'm okay until the next restart.

I keep getting this annoying window that pops up while surfing Drudge:
File not found
Firefox can't find the file at /C:/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox/D>èÎß&̪H¿MH¿%1BnàŽ–âPÕ”6´6—%06%1B%0FÜ… ¢Oóü&Ùß%03[Ò–‚Ø%%1C#%17E±MgÓ˜Û%04goS£‡Å…ovûU%08êïÇÔý„€®ÙØ–!gäø½.
Check the file name for capitalization or other typing errors.
Check to see if the file was moved, renamed or deleted.
Do you have any idea how to get rid of this annoying pop-up? I searched for that file name on Google, but nothing came up.
This only started happening after the Scareware program, Open Cloud Security, infected my computer a few days ago. My wife got into my registry to remove Open Cloud, but now I am left with this annoying Firefox problem. I have to close the annoying window TWICE to get back to Drudge.
This happens 6 times per hour.

Unfortunately, I have tried signing into Itunes for the past hour and keep getting this message: 'We're sorry we cannot complete your request on the itunes store at the time. Please try again later.' I'm using a thinkpad laptop T430. Please help!
I have got the same problem. I am using windows 8.1, latest version of iTunes, Symantec NIS. My internet connection is working.
My apple Id and my password are correct since they work on my iPad and on my iPhone.
message is "ware sorry.we cannot complete your request on the itunes store at this time." And in smaller letters : "try again later". Which i did many times over several days. Just does not work.

Does anyone know how I can solve this. My cat managed to move iphoto tab to the middle of the screen and now I cannot open it and get this message.
You cannot open the application iphoto because it may be damaged or incomplete
Any help appreciatedYou need a more technically saavy cat, for a start.
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List. -
When I start Firefox, I get an error message instead of my home page: Server not found Firefox ca
The error message is: Server not found
Firefox can't find the server at co108w.col108.mail.live.com.
If I then hit "Home" it goes to the home page. Changing the home page hasn't helped. Resetting Firefox hasn't helped. This just started today. Restarting the computer didn't help.
I'm using Firefox 18.0.2 and Windows 7.
Thanks.Check for malware
Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
* [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx Microsoft Safety Scanner]
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]
* [http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit Utility]
[http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.
Further information can be found in the [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]] article.

Firefox can't find the server at playfi.sh
every time that I try to click on a link for Playfish free gifts for apps that I play through Facebook or through an email to a link being offered by Playfish, I get the following message:
Server not found
Firefox can't find the server at playfi.sh.
Check the address for typing errors such as
ww.example.com instead of
www.example.com
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
I have cleaned cache, checked firewall, allowed in pop-up blocker, everything and nothing works... I can play the apps with no problem, it is only when trying to collect the items offered as gifts from Playfish.You have malware.

I create HTML5 help projects from a package called MadCap Flare. It uses what they call an HTML5 'skin' that sets the style/layout of the page and also includes 'Navigate previous' and 'Navigate next' buttons. When viewing the help and pressing these navigate buttons in IE8 or Chrome 32 there is no problem, but in Firefox 27 I get the following: (typical error for pressing a button on any page)
"File not found"
"Firefox can't find the file at /C:/SVN/FlareEnglishOnLineHelp/Output/HTML5_Help_Modeller_Reference/4attrib/idh_jointinterface_element_meshes.htm?TocPath=Modeller Reference Manual|Chapter 5 : Model Attributes|Meshing|_____2."
" Check the file name for capitalisation or other typing errors."
" Check to see if the file was moved, renamed or deleted."
- Because the files and buttons work in other browsers I'm wondering just what is going on here with Firefox>>>>I should correct that last entry and state that the | charactacters are generated automatically in the Toc-Path for each 'book' name in the online help, and are not something manually created, whereas the : characters have come from the TOC book topic names (which were manually entered names and are what we would ideally require). But, because 'previous' and 'next' topics within nested TOC books without colon (:) characters CAN be browsed successfully when just | characters are present in the Toc-Path, the limitation would appear to be solely due to the : characters.

I called Apple under my Mac support contract. They were completely unfamiliar with the error you and I were encountering. Updating to 10.8.5 didn't help.
I'm stopping my TimeCapsule while I perform these tasks, but I don't know yet if I have a consistent work-around.

for "McAfee Site Advisor".
(Windows): For best results you should uninstall '''McAfee Site Advisor''' from Control Panel > add/change programs (Programs and Features). Reboot the system. Then Reinstall from http://www.siteadvisor.com/ and reboot the system. When installing refuse other suggested (crapware) applications.

Tried to copy a movie from my iTunes account to my iPhone and keep getting this message……. iTunes could not copy "L.A." to the iPhone "Michael's iPhone" because of a timeout occurred.
I completely understand what is happening. I know that you are connected to the Internet. I made the suggestion because I have seen it work in similar circumstances. The Apple iTunes servers can be a bit fussy about things and sometimes rebooting the router clears up this miscommunication between iTunes and your network.
Have you tried signing into your account and then try to sync again. Go to Store>View Account. You will have to enter your password. Then try to sync again. Or try signing out completely in Store>Sign out. Quit iTunes, sign in again and then try to sync again.
Sometimes refreshing settings will help clear up weird problems. -
