Will not close completely, 572K of memory still shows in Task manager and can not force an end, thus Firefox will not restart
When I exit Firefox and try to restart I get a message that Firefox is still running. When I go to Task Manager it shows 572k of memory being used by firefox.exe. When I hit "End Process" nothing happens it still there. The only way I can restart Firefox is to restart my computer. I have been running Firefox on this machine running XP for about 18 months but this problem just started a week ago. I have even re installed Firefox.

i have lost my photos/videos when i imported from my ipad 2 to my new imac latest version OS X 10.8.4
and it's not reading the files. I have downloaded iMac library manager and can see them. when i go back into iphoto i'm getting the following message :
Do you want to switch the current iPhoto Library from “iPhoto Library.photolibrary” to “iPhoto Library.photolibrary” and relaunch iPhoto?
I don't know what to do - please help !!!!
can someone shed some light please ?So it appears you have only one library on the hard drive. Apply the two fixes below in order as needed to that library:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory. -
Sometimes firefox won't start unless I go into the taskmanager and remove it. then it will start. But if I go out of F/F and want to re-start it. usually it re-starts but if I want to open E-mail in Msn, It won't happen.

"memory error at 0x0237a33c", task manager, & Java
The past couple weeks, I've often been getting an error message when closing Firefox. I'd estimate that it happens 1:3 times. The message reads: "Firefox.exe - Application error. Instruction at 9x6200389e referenced memory at 0x0237a33c. The memory could not be read. Click OK to terminate the program."
I haven't really modified the computer, except for Windows & anti-virus program updates. The only thing I've really messed with is cleaning out the Windows Temp file now & then.
Then yesterday, I happened to bring up the Task Manager after I got the Firefox error. Even though Firefox was closed, Task Manager showed 4 Firefox processes running. I shut all of them down, & when I opened Firefox, it appeared in Task Manager. When I closed Firefox, it still showed in Task Manager. When I reopened Firefox, it showed up as a 2nd Firefox process in Task Manager. Again, when I closed Firefox, none of the Firefox processes in Task Manager closed or ended; they all remained running.
I've been checking Task Manager often since & it's still the same thing. I downloaded Firefox 12 & I'm still getting the same error message. Firefox is still shown as running in Task Manager even though it's been closed. Also, since I updated Firefox 11 to Firefox 12, I checked my add-ons. It said my Java was outdated & disabled. Do I really need this? (I don't see Java listed under Programs in the Control Panel either.)Try to start Firefox in [[Safe mode|Safe mode]]. This mode disables all extensions, user customizations, hardware acceleration, etc. temporarily for diagnostic and troubleshooting. If Firefox works fine in Safe Mode, then this is likely an add-on issue. Restart Firefox in normal mode, then type "About:addons" (without the quotes) in the address bar. Disable your extensions one by one, restarting Firefox between each one, until you find the trouble maker. Once you do, you can disable that add-on and report the issue to that add-on's developer.
A few other basic trouble shooting things you can try is this:
Run all Windows Updates, install all needed service packs, etc.
Update your graphics driver (Firefox uses your graphics card for some rendering, and an out of date graphics card driver can cause problems. [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers].
Update all your plugins (Flash, Java, etc.): [http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/ http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/].
Download and Install MalwareBytes Anti-Malware, run a full Scan. [http://www.malwarebytes.org/ http://www.malwarebytes.org/]. This helps check that there are no viruses on your computer causing issues. You can uninstall this program after you clean off any infections.
As for Java, it is needed to display some content on certain websites (example, Pogo games uses it for their online games). Old versions of Java were disabled due to major security flaws. If you aren't using Java, you don't have to have it installed, so it's up to you :) If you do want it, go to [http://www.java.com www.java.com] to get the most recent version. -
Why does LV not close, but remains in memory, even when it has stopped running?
Whenever I run LV7.1 on this Panasonic Toughbook CF18 (XP pro sp3) after stopping or closing LV, it remains open on the toolbar and in the task manager; the applications window indicates "not responding" and I must close it manually. the Processes window shows about 25-30k memory usage for each instance. If I run an exe again, each time it leaves another program open on the toolbar and in memory. It does the same thing whether I'm running an exe written in LV, or just opening the LV71, even without loading or running a vi. I suspect it is a setting somewhere in windows setup but I don't know what to look for.
LV has done this ever since it was installed on this machine, several years ago, and can be annoying when I do a lot of work with it. Is there somthing I can do to make LV close completely when exiting?Hey Rikard,
So, what you are seeing is that each VI that you open in the development environment remains open in memory even after you close the VI? When you manually close a VI, you still see it located in task manager and it is listed as not responding. The only way you can release the memory and remove it from task manager is to manually 'end task?' This is also true for executables, even though you close the .exe it still remains in memory? Have you seen this same behavior on a different computer, or does it seem unique to this particular machine/setup? Does this happen with any other programs? Perhaps some screen shots of your desktop and task manager would be helpful in clearing up what is actually happening.
Hope this helps.

I installed Adobe dlm add-on and now Firefox will not open. I see the process starting in Task Manager but no window opens. Unistalled Firefox then re-installed but still no luck. HELP ME! I do not want to use IE! I presume it has something to do with Adobe DLM as ever since then it is not working.I had this problem for a couple weeks as well and it was extremely frustrating considering we use firefox for all our company tasks. Here is the solution:
First of all if you have no bookmarks you want to save, then go directly to step 7. If you want to save your bookmarks first, then follow these steps.
1. Shut down the computer
2. Reboot and open firefox
3. Go to Task Manager, right click firefox.exe, and click END PROCESS TREE
4. WAIT 30 SECONDS! Then Double-click the shortcut to try and open firefox again
5.Repeat steps 3 and 4 until firefox finally opens (trust me, eventually it will)
6. Once it finally opens, backup your bookmarks,
7. Download a copy of firefox from there website
8. Uninstall from programs menu and make sure to check the box REMOVE ALL COMPONENTS
9. install the new copy and BOOM! it works
If it doesn't work, you're an idiot. If you don't want to reinstall firefox, then you're out of luck. Good Luck! -
I channged my Appleid at appleid.com and now the phone stills shows my old id and will not let apps that require id/password prompts work.
Just scroll to the bottom of the screen in the store, log out and then login with the new ID.
As long as you changed it from the manage account option at https://appleid.apple.com/ (ie. replaced the primary email address with a new one), then all your old purchases should be fine. -
Photoshop Elements 9.0 does not close completely
I am using Photoshop Elements 9.0 in Windows 7. It never closes down completely. I have to go into the task manager and tell it to "End Process." How do I fix this?
Try resetting the PSE preferences by
1. Close Elements.
2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Edit.
3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.
In case any network/local printer or scanner is attached try to launch without network or printer ON.
Let me know your comments.
Thanks,

bought a second hand laptop running Windows xp. When I go to download firefox, the installation goes seemingly smooth, but the program will not open. There are no firefox processes showing in task manager when I do this. I just downloaded chrome instead, but it sucks and I want firefox but my computer rejects it. This computer runs every other program I use without a hitch
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== after installation ==
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/533.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/5.0.375.99 Safari/533.4thanks chris for the reply back,i have solved the massive problem i have had with MF 3.6.3 it ws COMODO FREE FIREWALL i had a sneaking suspicion all a long it could have been that but was not sure?,my pc had slowed down since installing comodo i am pretty sure of that,there were lags and pauses ect ect on general usage of the pc even though cpu usage was ok?,so maybe if many pc users that have comodo firewall installed they might like to try a change to another firewall and see if it helps,i went back to OUTPOST FREE FIREWALL which i had for ages without ANY problems whatsoever.

mozilla firefox build 3.6.3 -
As stated on the question I have windows 7 and meet all the requirements. But when i launch firefox It wont start, but it shows in task manager with 108k memory.
Got the exact same problem aswell, finally fed up with it now as i just started up firefox and 14 new windows opened because of this bug, luckily my computer can handle them but someone with a slower processor it would have been a nightmare, needs fixing ASAP.
Reverting back to 3.6.3 until this issue is solved. (link for anyone wanting to do the same below)

during a update of apple my iphone 3GS crashed an now the operating system wont load up..ive tried to reset the phone to the factory settings using itunes it took 4 hours and completed but my phone still wont come on..what can i do to fix the problem? please help #
In trying to include what information all that I could I should have specified I DON'T KNOW THAT IT WAS DEFINATELY JAILBROKEN when I took it to the apple store they told me there's no way for them to tell if it was jail broken or not. I'm only going by what ppl have told me COULD HAVE BEEN DONE TO THE PHONE. With that said the only thing I know for sure is that the apple tech at the Genius Bar told me that someone took control of my root menu in February & I've had no control of my phone since. I asked him how to regain control & how he knew his exact words were "oh that is out of our scope of capabilities here at this level & you would need an apple engineer to fix it". I said ok then how do I get an apple eng then? He laughed & said you can't!!!! To which I was furious I came home & called apple requesting to speak w/the fraud dept to file a report they said we don't have a fraud dept!! So after a 45 mn phone call again I left w/no answers.

I DON'T HAVE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO SPEND HIRING AN ATTORNEY & Although I appreciate your suggestion I fail to how an attorney would be able to facilitate in any way since there's no suspect. I cannot prove that it's him doing it so I certainly can't pursue legal action w/no proof & no money. :'((
Again I thank you for your advice but I don't think that will help.
I was looking more for a TECHNICAL way to avoid this happening w/a new phone should I buy one or trying to get them out of my phone now! Such as installing some kind of software protection?? Someway to clear out the entire phone (other than factory reset which was done 10 x's w/no success, etc. if this person got in then there HAS TO BE A WAY OF GETTING HIM OUT, right???? -
When I import a CD to itunes, it splits the album in to multiple entries. I have changed the info on some but others just will not merge. Is there an easy way to do this and can I stop them from splitting in future? Thanks
Okay this is what fixed my problem. Some kind of error/glitch occured half-way through importing that third cd that prevented further imports from any other cd. Once I completely removed the half-imported cd album from my library I could further import cd's without any problems.

I not so recently changed my email adress I associated with my Apple ID and my iCloud ID. My old email still shows up for iCloud, and won't let me change it to my new email. When I try to delete it and replace it with the proper email, it wants my password, which it won't accept because it's an invalid username.
I had this same issue and got it resolved very simply when I contacted Apple SUpport
Go to https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/ and sign into your infomation
> Go to Manage apple id and primary email address
> Change it to the old apple id that your device is asking for
> Save changes
> Go to Settings > iCloud and sign out of the infomation
> Go back to https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
> Change it back to the correct apple id
> Go to the email address adn reverify the apple id
> Sign back into iCloud on your device
> Smile

If I delete music from my iPhone will it still be saved in iCloud and can I access it again at a later date?
Yes. You can re-download purchased iTunes content for free, except for purchased ringtones, which are a one time download.
