Windows 7, and I open window, which then flashes across the screen and is then hidden (only on my screen--the other users are able to open Firefox). What can I do?
There are several different user screens on my computer with each users programs. We all use Firefox on our Windows 7 desktop. However, for the last week, when I hit my Firefox icon, a small window flashes across the screen and is hidden. However, it shows the open window and the default site on the Task Bar, and I cannot browse, although Firefox still works on the other users' screens. What can I do to use it again and still save my Favorites/Bookmarks?
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Unable to open PDFs on a specific computer. Other computers are able to open the PDFs. What could be wrong with this one computer? Please advise appropriate course of action?
Hi $Comptroller,
What are you using to open the PDFs? Reader or Acrobat? It may be that there's a problem with the application that you're using to open the PDFs. Please update (first) or repair Acrobat or Reader following the instructions in this document: Can't open PDF
Please let us know how it goes.

For a wesite I get this error in firefox, "Sorry, Netscape 4 cannot show inline frames", other browsers are able to open it.
I uninstalled all the old flash players and installed the flash player v16.0.0.235 from the Adobe website posted.
And Firefox is still the same. It takes forever to web search, It takes a long time to get on Youtube, and a longer time now to open a video..
It's actual worse since I upgraded to the newer flash player.
I'll do one more fifefox reset (this is the 8th one in a week)
and it works for a few hrs, and goes back to the slowww way of working...
Many of my friends I talked to about this, told me to switch over to Chrome like they had to do..
I guess that's the only alternative now..
Thankyou all for your help and suggestions anyway.. :) -
I downloaded the 30 day free trial of Photoshop on 9/11, but have not been able to open it, or even find it on my computer. I do have the Adobe Create Cloud icon, and when I click it it list PS as downloaded and lets me access tutorials, but that is all.
Please let me know how to open and use PS.
Homer GuyHi Homerguy,
If you are using Mac, please open the finder window click on go and choose applications and try to launch Photoshop from there.
If windows, please navigate to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 and double click on the Photoshop.exe file.
Thanks -
The last few days I have been constantly saving my file. A couple of hours ago I renamed the file and then reopened my file a little while later, but the most recent work wasn't saved even though I'm sure I saved it before closing. What can I do? Also, when I have tried to email it to myself as a backup, the fields aren't populated when I open it up. Fyi, I have the free subscription.
Hi Constance,
As i understand your changes in the pdf were not saved...Are you still facing this issue?

Hi, I currently have iTunes version 10.4 loaded on my windows desktop. I'm trying to download version 10.6 but have been unsuccessful. My system saying that current iTunes.msi file is not valid. What can I do?
Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time? -

Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

My iPhoto videos are not showing up in iMovie? I have quit, shut down my Mac and they still are not showing up? What can I do to resolve this?
It is also posible to go back to the imovie you had before, it is still on your computer - you go to Finder and it is in a folder in your programs. Many others have gone back to the old program, and perhaps I am also going to do that too.
In the new imovie it does not come up the question "do you want to download these videos ...."
You shall in imovie open your iphotolibrary in top on the left side,( it is standing under libraries) and you can see all the events you have in iphoto, then you can open the event, you shall use and drag the movies and pictures from the events in iphoto to an events in imovie. If you can,t see your libraries, you can click on a show button on top of the left side.
On the picture you see here iphoto is market on the top of the left side and the pictures to the left is my iphoto-events - and there I can open the one I shall use, and find my movies.

but i can't find my data which i have saved on mac.the storage is showing data used and free space on the disk
please help me out in this matter.How did you change your user name?
resetpassword wouldn't have done it. If you managed to create a new user, then your data is still in the old account. -
When trying to open a word document, I get the error message that PowerPC applications are no longer supported. What can I do?
Thanks.IMHO the free apps are a band aid fix. If the OP uses Office on a regular basis he will need to upgrade anyway. Personally I have used neooffice and found it substandard however that was just my take. I haven't tried Google's solution.
We both forgot to mention the OP could also use Pages and Numbers to open their Word and Excel files. If he uses Entourage then Mail and iCal would be viable substitutes. -
I click the "Tools" tab, then click the "Add-ons" tab. If I then click anywhere on the "Add-ons" dialog box, the dialog box immediately closes. I can't install plug-ins or add-ons. However, this happens only with my account. Other users have no such problem. I have also tried going to the "Add-ons" dialogue box through "Tools" then "Options." I still cannot get into the "Add-ons" tab; the dialog box closes. I have tried using the keyboard instead of the mouse; same problem.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I am unsure what caused it. I have tried re-installing firefox.Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?

When I use my Apple TV and try to play music from my computer I get an error: "To access your iTunes library on Apple TV, turn on Home Sharing in iTunes on your computer using 'myname'"
On my computer n iTunes Preferences / Sharing I have the "Share my library on my local network" checked with "Share entire library" -- no password, no update play counts. I've turned it off and on again.
The Apple TV settings show we are "talking to" my WIFI -- it has my network, shows a good signal strenght, all sorts of internet addresses and IP stuff I don't understand ...
The "Internet" tab works with some of those things I'd never use -- like I see the current NHL standings.
My TV works and I get an ATV signal and those little chimes / bongs when I hit things in the menu. And when it works I get audio so the cables and TV are okay.
In the past I had trouble with the settings for my favourite Internet Radio stations (the provider changed their URL but Apple didn't update the presets for a while) but those are now resolved.
I had a crappy old G class router and week signal strenght but I have a new N class Cisco router with a strong signal.
But other things are wonky:
* I play interent radio and my station will go fine for about five minutes then stop -- the little wheel spins trying to reconnect. Sometimes it resets but more often than not it won't. I just tried again four hours later and the same thing.
* I've unplugged the ATV and plugged it back in but no noticable improvement
* I tried to do the factory reset from the ATV menu. It says it will download the latest bla bla bla and after a few minutes tells me "Apple TV can't download latest update right now, try again later" -- I've tried three times today always with the same results.
* I unhooked it from the power and HDMI and plugged it into a Micro USB cable and plugged that into my Mac -- it doesn't show up in the devices in iTunes.
* I have a bunch of photos in a folder that I use for my ATV Screen Saver. A few weeks ago I added two photos to that folder -- they don't show up in the ATV screen show but the others still do.
* When I started today I checked my iTunes and the airplay icon didn't show in the bottom right (beside the genious icon and the little thing to show or hide the sidebar). Now I noticed the Airplay icon is there. When I try to switch from playing through my computer speaakers to my Apple TV I get an error "An unknown error (-15006) occurred while connecting to the Airplay device "Apple TV"" -- the ATV shows that Airplay is on.
* I see from the ATV settings that I'm running ATV Software 4.4.3 (3323) and when I do a "Update Software" on the ATV it tells me that my software is current.
* My iTunes is 10.5.2 (11) and my OS is 10.6.8 -- both are up to date.
Yikes and double yikes!
Any ideas?Hey Chunk,
I love the idea of the ATV more than I have loved the little black box but ... famous last words ... my ATV seems to be working better these days.
A big challenge for me was too many variables at play -- new router, new ATV OS / firmware / whatever, changing internet radio presets, a less than perfect physical set up ... and a short attention span from yours truly.
Here's what I did. Somwhere in these changes things got "fixed."
* I unhooked the ATV and did a factory restore by hard wiring the ATV to my computer with a micro USB cable (no external power needed) working through iTunes (I run iTunes 10.5.2 on an iMac with OS X 10.6.8).
* after the reset I now have ATV (is that an operating system or a firmware?) 4.4.4
* then I plugged it back into my home theatre and it didn't work :-) but in slightly different ways. The settings showed that I was connected to my home network but I couln't get connected using my Apple ID and no internet radio. (it is often counterintuitive -- like why when I want my ATV to talk to my iMac over my local network am I logging in to the iTnes Store with my Apple ID? but there you go.)
* I booked with the genius bar at the Apple Store and put my ATV in my pocket. They pulled out a TV, HDMI cable, ATV power source and even the remote -- all I provided was my little black ATV. We hooked the ATV to their TV and from the Apple Store (using thier WIFI) I logged in using my Apple ID and the thing worked fine.
* so now I knew that my ATV was up to date and it worked in the Apple Store using their network so it looked like the issue was my network.
* rebooted my router and noticed that when I had upgraded to the new super dooper Cisco n router we had plugged my iMac direct to the router via ethernet cable. I unhooked the ethernet and now just run my computer WIFI using AirPort.
And ...
It works. I use my ATV exclusivly for music -- my iTunes and internet radio and AirPlay -- and now both work fine. The ATV does pick up photos from my iPhoto for the screen saver and all that other stuff -- netflix, youtube, the hockey scores, ... all seem to be there. And my son played a video off his iPod Touch using AirPlay.
I know my approach is more scattered than a proper scientific try but ...
From my experience ... reset the ATV and get it up to date; see if it will work on someone else's network; check your network set up.
Good luck! -
I have just updated the i06 software for my iPad and it will not connect to my home wifi network - all my other devices are able to connect to my wifi network.
I have attempted all troubleshooting actions suggested and nothing has worked. I have restored my iPad network and factory settings - Please help - this is frustrating meyou have to set up your router to solve th problem. first find and write down the ipad mac address.
then log on to your router using your laptop or any device that can connect to router at 192.168.0.1 in your web browser. please check out my posting about how to resolve the wifi connection problem.
i think the ios6 update has reset the networking but if you set up the router then you should not have the same problem any more.
