  • Cannot download from any site

    For some reason, Mozilla or don't let me download from any site, including your own. This was not always a problem. He just started a while back. Maybe after an update? I'm not sure.

    Then you may check the list of extensions and disable or remove those that are not essential or unrecognized. Open the page modules using either:

    • CTRL + SHIFT + a
    • Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) button > Add ons

    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, in case of doubt, disable or remove.

    Typically, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.

    I hope that will completely get rid of it.

    If it comes back, you may have to uninstall something in the control panel.

  • Cannot update or download anything from Microsoft

    I have windows XP pro 32
    I had problems with the updates and downloads from microsoft. It seems that I can not download anything from microsoft, MSN to the service pack of windows update I tried to download recently. When I click 'Download' the Web page just says I can't connect. The problem is not intermittent its recurring. I tried to email microsoft several times and the problem still has not been resolved. Common mistake, I'm getting 0x80072EFD, this is the info from the microsoft Web site gives about the error.

    ERROR_INTERNET_CANNOT_CONNECT
    I tried net stop wuauserv & net start wuauserv in cmd. I also tried ipconfig/flushdns. I disabled all my third-party anti-virus software. I tried to access %windir%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts Notepad in Notepad, but it says that the file is not found, and I tried to rename the Software Distribution to SDold. I tried everything that was suggested to me, and nothing has worked.

    It is possible that a 3rd party anti-spyware, firewall, web Accelerator program, program of security/antivirus Internet and/or a proxy server interferes with the Services Windows Update (SVCHOST) to access the Internet.

    Suggest you add the Windows Update Web site addresses to the list of exceptions / allow
    http://*. Update.Microsoft.com
    https://*. Update.Microsoft.com
    http://download.windowsupdate.com

    If that does not help, check that the Windows Update Service can connect to Internet via ports 80 and 443.

    You may need to consult the documentation of the individual programs for further instructions.

    Hello I am downloading from my site and my characters are messy. I type an e (taken glyphs-window), but what appears is an and the copyright sign? can someone tell me how I get rid off this?

    I tried a lot of things, but nothing seems to make a difference.

    In my view, they have already done for you...

    The site seems OK now. Hooray !

    But let's dig down to the serious things of this.

    If the browser needs a statement of character. Probably ' UTF-8 ', but another or an older one would be as well, as long as it's cheap, and it respects the method of characterization of the Web page.

    This statement can be provided by (1) the web server itself (its default value), (2) the htaccess file in your web root directory server, or (3) on each web page. Where there are several and contradictory statements perhaps, the older in the command above rules. But in the case where the Server and the htaccess do not provide a statement of character and your web page later on, it shouldn't be a problem.

    Your provider said that they do not have a such context in their web server, and it wasn't a htaccess file in your root folder (Muse is not create it for you). Once again: do not worry, it should always be no problem, because all your web pages provides the declaration as well (thanks to Muse). We have checked that, no doubt.

    That is where their claim is not accurate. BTW: many tips are on the Internet on the common practice in this area and they all advice that the htaccess is not the place more obvious to the declaration. The page is the best place to put it.

    W3C (the 'boss' of http and html)

    some general information:

    Choosing & applying a character encoding

    putting in a .htaccess file:

    Definition of charset in .htaccess information

    and finally, put on the page:

    Declaring character encodings in HTML

    But what is even more strange: I checked the web server of your provider to access this service online, and it seems that their server is to provide a framework (and it is UTF-8, fortunately). It's the opposite of what they have been say...

    Now I have the idea of some personal provider noticed this morning that their server wasn't working properly (maybe after a failure of server or another incident or failure), serving the pages with a wrong setting. Then maybe they quickly corrected, and not to let you know that, they tell you to put in place this htaccess file (which makes no difference, just as the declaration of your page also could not prevail in the setting of the server).

    So now, you are done with all the three statements: a parameter, a htaccess in your Web site folder and that of your server page. As long as they all say and expect the same (UTF-8) you don't have to worry about this.

    Problem solved, three times!

    PS: many accommodation providers (and I'm afraid that yours as well) tend to declaring that whatever they do is 'standard' and 'obvious'. While in many situations, it's always a little different and certainly not the standard, not to mention obvious...

  • Cannot update or load the Web site.

    Hi, my name of Chris and I bought a MacBook Air off of eBay about 2 years ago and I decided to use it and I noticed that I was on the version of Mac OS X 10.6.8 and he decided to search for software updates. As soon as I tried to check, he would fail and a pop up appears saying "Update software cannot verify updates due to a network problem". I am absolutely convinced that my internet connection completely works because I just got about 1 week ago. I am sorry to ask a lot, but another problem I have is that whenever I go online, some site not loading and under him, it appears "ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE". On the Web site like YouTube and Apple Discussion of work. It would help if someone could help me solve these 2 problems.

    You have access to another network where you can see if you still have the same problems? This will help determine if there is a problem with the network or computer.

    Try a reboot.

    Make a backup using Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure that data files can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.

    Try to set up another admin user account to see if the same problem persists. If back to my Mac is enabled in system preferences, the guest account will not work. The intention is to see if it is specific to an account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.

    Isolate a problem by using a different user account

    If the problem is still there, try to start safe mode using your usual account.  Disconnect all devices except those necessary for the test. Shut down the computer and then put it up after a 10 second wait. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the SHIFT key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. Startup is considerably slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a check for directory and disables all start-up and connection, among other things. When you restart normally, the initial restart may be slower than normal. If the system is operating normally, there may be 3rd party applications that pose a problem. Try to delete/disable the third-party applications after a reboot using the UN-Installer. For each disable/remove, you need to restart if you do them all at once.
