  • Links in the Facebook crash and Safari pages keep reloading / crashing even with iOS 9.3.2

    Ive got ios 9.3.2 and links in Facebook keep crashing again. And every time I try to navigate in safari or chrome pages keep reloading. Sometimes only couple of times, but other times it charging until the phone freezes and puts an end to all applications and sent it to me to the home screen. Shurting, sometimes even to the bottom of the Web page. There are some days where was at its worst, but it stopped after the phone automatically just reset (like holding home and power at the same time button). But it doesn't work when I do it myself. At the moment it is slightly backward. Especially with the Facebook links crash. But my safari page was actually not to recharge for some reason any while I was typing this question on my iPhone. It is very annoying because I can't navigate on my phone. Actually, it gets to the point where any other webpage just keep reloading until phone crashes.

    I'm using an iPhone 6 +.

    I do not know how to solve and I thaught it was a 9.3 iOS problem. I use 9.3.2

    It was not a problem in the 9.3, there is a problem with your phone. That's why 9.3.2 has not set. As a first step, remove the Facebook application, reboot your phone in now the HOME and SLEEP buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears, and reinstall the FaceBook application by downloading it with the App Store application on the phone.

    For Safari, open Safari, tap the HOME button, wait a second, double - press the HOME button and sliding upward on the Safari screen image. Then go to settings/Safari and tap clear history and data from the Web site. Reboot again.

    If the problem persists after these steps, restore iOS through iTunes and set the phone like New. Do not restore the backup, because the problem is most likely in the data to be backed up.

It took a morning full of accomplish this chore. I went back to Firefox and found that my tabs were there, but they were opaque and would not work. In fact, you could read what was beneath them. No way to get anything wthout return to the start page of Firefox. I uninstalled Firefox and put it back on and it was always the same thing with the non operation of the opaque tabs.

  • How can I place a STOP button on my toolbar. I would like to stop firefox from loading a page by pressing the STOP button, but I can't find it in the toolbar options.

    How can I place a STOP button on my toolbar. I would like to stop firefox from loading a page by pressing the STOP button, but I can't find it in the toolbar options.

    First of all, if you have the menu bar show. (File-Edit-View-History-Bookmarks-Tools-Help), then you won't see the orange FireFox button because in the new version of FireFox button replaces the menu bar. You can believe that's the way you want by clicking on 'View', then place your cursor over "Toolbars" and check or uncheck menu bar. If you have the display on menu bar, click on 'View' then drag down to "Toolbars", then descend to the right and go to 'customize '; a click on it. Then, when the next screen appears, even if 'Reload' is not displayed on this topic, it appears somewhere upwards in your toolbar. (Mine was above the Google search box). Put your cursor on it and drag-and - drop to the left of your address bar. The "Stop" button should be left more than the button 'recharge' in order to get two separate buttons for these tasks. If the 'Reload' button is further to the left, then you get a single button that performs the tasks at the same time. I hope this helps.

  • A hacker took over my computer, mainly my network is controlled by them. How to get rid of it

    Original title: Hacker

    I let a hacker in my computer, tech support imposter, he took over my computer, mainly my network is controlled by them. I use HP Pavilion Home Premium Windows 7, 64-bit sp2 Server 2008r2. Can someone help please?

    Your post is a bit confusing.  Windows 7 does not have a "Service Pack 2" and is not the same Windows Server 2008 r2 operating system.

    You need to contact all the sites for which you saved in your computer, in particular financial institutions, logon and change your log on credentials.

    Backup of all your data first.  Also, before the system recovery, use a keyfinder as Magical JellyBean Keyfinder or Belarc Advisor utility to find any product keys/licenses you will need to reinstall your application programs.

    Then you must do a clean install of Windows.  Because you have a CV, a "system recovery", as described here--> http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01867418

    After the system recovery, uninstall any antivirus software free trial using the tool provided by the manufacturer of the antivirus (trial will have expired).  For a list of these tools, see http://support.eset.com/kb146/?locale=en_US , then you need to install a good antivirus.

    After restoring your backup data, analyze all the files with your antivirus software and a program of quality (such Free MalwareBytes AntiMalware) antimalware software before opening any files.

    Finally, reinstall your application programs from your original installation media (CD/DVD/downloaded the Installer).

  • How to remove movies from the summary page

    With the help of iTunes version 12.4.  Can anyone help in my attempts to remove movies at home summary page in iTunes?  I was able to remove movies from my iPhone and iPad and unchecked on the summary in the movies tab page.  However, films controlled and deleted still appear in the section summary of movies.  Cannot find a delete any action to remove unwanted movies.  This has to do with the deletion in iTunes itself on a Windows version 10.

    Steve

    FOUND THE ANSWER!  From a previous post-, I had the same problem. You cannot remove them from the summary page. Cannot you.

    In the app iTunes on Mac or PC, without your phone, from the drop-down menu at the top left - select movies and then click on, select, Home Videos. In the next screen, select the home theater and right click. This will allow you to remove. Once you reconnect your phone and sync, the cinema will be gone from your Summary Page!

  • How to set printing preferences? all my pages are printed in miniature when I use Firefox, and try to print from a Web page.

    I can't print from any Web page, including my hotmail account, without printing the page to about 20% of the normal size. If I use Explorer, I have no problem with printing.

    {Ctrl + P} in Firefox and open the properties of this printer - check the paper size setting.

    See this:

  • can I use Firefox to receive and send emails from my web page? If so, how do I configure this?

    How to receive e-mails from my web page? Can I implement this using Firefox or I need something like Internet Explorer?

    Firefox is a browser. Internet Explorer is a browser, even Opera, Google Chrome or any other browser. They don't normally have an e-mail client.

    So what you need to do is to open an account with a Web freebie like hotmail.com or gmail.com email provider and then use Firefox to open it with. The emails that you receive or send remain on the e-mail server of the provider. You must use a browser to access only with.

    It is not all browsers that can act as a storage system for e-mails. In this respect the browsers like Firefox, Opera, Internet Explorer etc., is only spectators.
