IT WILL NOT ERASE MY BROWSING HISTORY

• Why will not erase my browser history?

  This latest update has been awful for a very basic computer like me user. I have used Mozilla with happiness for years, but the amount of time I spent trying to get back to the way I like it starts to get me back at all. Chrome is looking awfully good right now.

  I already spent hours trying to get rid of the Yahoo thing that appeared suddenly like my search engine, and now my browser history will not clear. I used to be able to show the history and delete. Easy! Now even when history says that it is clear, even when I closed all tabs before closing mozilla (with the exception of my Google home page) when I reopen it Mozilla four tabs are back. It should, based on my my use prior, only open to my home page if I want to restart my previous tabs he asks me. Why is this happening?

  I'm a very basic computer user and this diversion suddenly my browser and search engine is a bit painful actully and frankly I'm sick of trying to fix it.

  Yay, love the internet. Found a way around it and what was the problem. I clicked on the wrong thing when settting to the top of my homepage apprently. Complaints about upgrade are still standing. Very frustrating.

  Thank you

  Try resetting your device. This will not erase your data stored on that device.

  • Press and hold the sleep/wake button
  • Press and hold the Home button
  • Press and hold both buttons until the display turns off and on again with the Apple logo on the subject.

  Alternatively, you can go to settings - general - reset - Reset all settings

  If that doesn't work, restore your device to factory settings. Please note that this will delete the data on your device.

  Take a look this Apple Support article: use iTunes to restore the iPhone, iPad or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support.

  As a final step, try recovery mode. Turn off your unit, then plug it to your computer with the hold home button. Hold down Home button until you see the logo of iTunes on the screen of your device. After that on your computer, you should see the iTunes window saying that your device needs to be restored to factory settings. Click Restore.

  If these steps do not work, contact Apple and ask for help.

• the user will not erase & isn't in Control Panel users

  If I go to C:\Documents and Settings, there is a user that I never had and want to get rid of. But this user has never been and is not present in Control Panel > users. If I try to remove it from C:\Documents and Settings, it starts with a box to confirm deleting file saying 'the file 'xxxxx' contains items whose name is too long for the trash. Do you want to permanently delete it? "I click Yes or Yes to all.

  Then he quickly paged home with a box titled error deleting file or folder that says "cannot delete the XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX: cannot find the specified file." Be sure to only specify the path and the correct name. I click on one button, OK, and I'm done. It will not erase. So I renamed this user ' broken but will not erase "other users on this list are administrator, Administrator.JEFF - A40763A256, all users, all Users.WINDOWS, by default, the User.Window default user, guest, Jeff.JEFF - A40763A256 (me). Not sure why mine has this weird kind of thing next to my name (?). In any case, I guess this isn't a problem.

  If I look in Control Panel > user accounts, I see that Jeff (Administrator) and comments - the guest account is disabled. These are the only two users ever.

  You can manage your startup to find out why your computer is experiencing difficulties of start and stop. Certainly I would test the hard drive.

  Start > run > msconfig [Enter]

  This will open the System Configuration utility. Look under the Startup tab and find the likely culprit. Uncheck the box next to its name, apply and OK out. You don't need to restart immediately, but next time you do, you will get a dialog box saying that you have used the utility. Just check the box that says in effect, "don't mind to this subject again".

  Important - do not use the System Configuration utility to stop the process. Use rather Start > Run > services.msc [Enter] and stop all services unless you really, really know what you're doing.

  Test the hard drive with a diagnostic utility downloaded from site of the disc mftr. or use SeaTools for BACK of Seagate. You create a bootable CD with the files you download. You will need a third party burning software to do as the free ImgBurn, Nero or Roxio. Burn as an image, not in the form of data.

  Boot with the CD that you have done and do a full test of the reader. The physical tests fail, replace it.

  If you can't do the work yourself (and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea), take the machine to a professional computer repair shop (not your local equivalent of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad).

  How to cancel?  Pls help.   TKS, Ron Moore

  Hi Ron,

  1. how many printers is connected to the computer?

  2. did you of recent changes on the computer?

  3. what happens when you try to change printer (LPT1) port

  Method 1

  See the link below and run them the fixit tool available, check if it helps.

  Problems printing and printing errors

  http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/printing_problems/en-us?EntryPoint=lightbox

  Method 2

  If the previous step fails, then I suggest that you restart the computer the print spooler service and check if it works.

  A print spooler is a system service that temporarily stores the disk printing hard or in memory until the printer is ready to print.

  To change or restart the print spooler service

  You must be logged on as administrator to perform these steps.

  (a) open administrative tools by clicking the Start button, click Control Panel, clicking system and Maintenance, and then clicking Administrative Tools.

  (b) double click Services. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  (c) right click on the print spooler service, and then click Properties.

  (d) under the tab general , next to Startup type, make sure thatAutomatic is selected.

  (e) if the service is not already running, under Service status, click pie Sand then clickOK. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

• print job is stuck in the queue and will not erase

  I have a HP 4620.  I sent a print job to the computer via the network.  It will not be printed, so I tried to delete the job.  It is stuck on "deletion" and will not erase (it has been like this for days).  I tried the other options such as restart, pause etc. and it is just stuck say delete.  I restarted the computer and activated and on the printer, but can not do the work to remove.  So just now I can't print anything because new jobs will not be printed either; guess that they don't print until that first job is deleted.  Can I remove the new print jobs.  Someone at - it solution.

  Hello

  From the desktop, hold down the Windows key and press R.  In the run window, type services.msc and press to enter.  Scroll down to the print spooler service, right click and select Properties, then click the Stop button.  Now search for C:\Windows\System32\Spool\PRINTERS, then delete the work inside this folder - you may need to click a command prompt to get the authority to open the PRINTERS folder.

  Restart the computer and you should find that the documents have been deleted.

  Kind regards

• print job is stuck that pf HP psc 5210 series, will not erase Paul job, cannot print anything now

  print job is stuck that pf HP psc 5210 series, will not erase Paul job, cannot print anything now

  I have a printer HP psc 2510 series deskjet.  Print many documents, it has notified me that I was low on ink which I was aware of.  I had a little more what to print, and chose the young project option for printing of no more than 1 to 3 pages.  I constantly tried to cancel the job that kept the origin of the printer show (not answer).  It aligned to the top other jobs, but after trying to delete all, printer then turn on again, it still shows the original print job, and I'm unable to find a way out of Quebec

  Verification of updates, there are only two listed as "optional" still thought by downloading them, it can solve the problem.  It does not; He gave the error message on the print job in that causing a feeling of power.

  I've never seen this before; I was always able to plug & play on my desktop printer and trying to use it on my Sony VAIO VGN-NW310F series.

  It is imperative to get this resolved.  School assignments are due and professorts not only does not want to hear the excuses of any kind, printing problems have always been easily resolved so far.

  Please - I need immediate assistance.  I already used the troubleshooter printer online which, as said earlier custody indicating the print job to Québec, is causing the printer to not answer.  I cancelled each time, but it will not go away.  I turned off the printer, reinstalled in the hope it would be empty, but it will not.

  I appreciate your atttention guest on this subject.  I work with Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit operating system.

  Thank you for your help.

  Try in Services, locate the printer spooler, select it, and then stop the service.

  Then check if you can delete the print job, if so restart the service

• Maps and layouts: update of the failure or will not erase

  Select Page layouts et Cards fail to update correctly. This is the case for the unreleased updates to with no associated collection and the unreleased cards with associated No. layouts. In addition, in some cases published layouts or maps indicate the status ""update failed, obsolete, "but the changes make their way to the app." This happens for some layouts and cards, but not all; In addition, some layouts and cards work fine for awhile and then fail to publish or will not erase. Is this a known issue? [using publish.adobe.com app 2015.2.100 version]

  Hey Kristen - Sounds complicated, and I don't know all the details completely, but I have had similar experiences and started to notice the following, especially with the cards and layouts.

  Scenario:

  I have a card and use it in a mapping rule for a layout. Everything is cool, work the way you want.

  Now, I want to remove the card (I am resetting things for a demo session and want to start without cards nor the updates page with the exception of the default values.)

  If I delete the card first, I get the message "Failed to update, obsolete".

  To avoid this or delete it, I need to remove all mapping rules in all page layouts that call the map and publish all these layouts (without the map reference.)

  So I new and remove the card.

  I followed a similar procedure for the removal of the page layouts-

  The value of all the collections so that none use the layout to remove

  Publish all the collections that are obsolete.

  Then you can new and remove the unwanted provision.

  It's probably pretty fussy, but it works.

  I've had similar experiences with items and collections. If an article or a collection is used in several collections, I would get a similar error. I had to work on what article or the collection has been used in several places before I could new and delete.

  Hope that helps

• Updated FireFox, restarted and now it will not open the browser, even if the icon does not appear in my taskbar. Was fine until the update last night. Win8.1 running

  When I move the mouse over the icon in the taskbar that appears after that I have I dbl-clicked on the icon on the desktop, you can see a miniature version of the browser open as usual, unfortunately, the browser will not open upward on the desktop. I've deleted and reinstalled several times. It has worked very well until I did the update last night.

  Machine features:
  8.1 to win
  16 GB of RAM
  3 video concerts
  Processor AMD FX-6200 6 3.80 Ghz
  64 bit

  Sometimes, a window is "off the screen" somehow. Often, you can force it to appear on the screen by right clicking on the thumbnail image just above the taskbar and choose expand. Does it work?

  A possible cause for this is that the file that stores the positions and sizes of window is corrupt.

  #1 method: If you can get a zoomed window:

  Open the settings folder (AKA Firefox profile) current Firefox help

  • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
  • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
  • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

  In the first table of the page, click on the view file"" button. This should launch a new window that lists the various files and folders in Windows Explorer.

  Leave this window open, switch back to Firefox and output, either:

  • "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
  • (menu bar) File > Exit

  Pause while Firefox finishing its cleanup, then rename xulstore.json to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename this to localstore.old.

  Launch Firefox back up again. Windows normally appear again?

  #2 method: If you can not get a Firefox window for all:

  Close Firefox by right clicking the icon in the taskbar > close all windows.

  Using the Run dialog box (windows key + R) or the search for the start bar menu (or perhaps 8.x for Windows search of charms bar bar?) type or paste the following and press ENTER to drill down to the profiles folder:

  %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
  

  Here you can see a folder - in this case, double-click that - or more than one case - in this case, double-click on in what looks like the most recently updated.

  Scroll down and rename xulstore.json to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename this to localstore.old.

  Launch Firefox back up again. Windows normally appear again?

• I copy - paste from my old profile again places.sqlite, I got my favorites return, but I do not receive my browsing history. I use firefox 26. Any idea?

  My old firefox does not often enough, so I uninstalled it and deleted the lalala preferences. But I save my profile. And then I install the new firefox (firefox 26.)
  But after I copy - paste places.sqlite, I don't fit my browsing history, I only get my favorites
  So yes, an idea?

  You did to be sure to remove all the other files in places?

  You can consult the database places.sqlite with this extension:

  • https://addons.Mozilla.org/firefox/addon/places-maintenance/

  Try to use the SQLite Manager extension in Firefox to inspect the database places.sqlite file.
