“Hey, I received a “Couldn’t load XPCOM” error when running my Mozilla Firefox web browser and I can’t contact Microsoft or Mozilla or anybody. Restoring to an earlier time doesn’t work, no matter how far back I go. I’ve had to re-image my computer which scares me, especially since I don’t have a backup hard drive. Is there a safer and less time-consuming way to handle this?”

How do I get “Couldn’t load XPCOM” Error？What caused the problem？

The causes of “Couldn’t load XPCOM” Error is Mozilla releases their updates for Firefox as it gets newer features, sometimes it becomes incompatible to windows due to new features or due to other installed programs. And maybe it is not compatible with your operating system or your computer configuration, even after lots of testing it fails to be compatible with windows and related programs.

What is XPCOM? What is the relationship between XPCOM and Firefox?

XPCOM means Cross Platform Component Object Model. It is a cross-platform component model from Mozilla and making the application environment an actual framework. And it is similar to Microsoft Component Object Model (COM). XPCOM is one of the main things making the Mozilla application environment an actual framework. It is a development environment that provides the following features for the cross-platform software developer:

a. Component management
b. File abstraction
c. Object message passing
d. Memory management

This component object model makes virtually all of the functionality of Gecko available as a series of components, or reusable cross-platform libraries, that can be accessed from the web browser or scripted from any Mozilla application. Applications that must access the various Mozilla XPCOM libraries (networking, security, Document Object Model (DOM), etc.) use a special layer of XPCOM called XPConnect, which reflects the library interfaces into JavaScript, or other languages.

Hey, can you give me some advices to bypass this white screen on my Mac? My Mac has been stuck at this white screen for about 5 hours since I started it this morning but still nothing happens now. But yesterday, everything on this Mac was still working well and it can shut off normally, as what I remembered, I believe there was nothing bad occurring. I am just confused why it gets such problems. I even can’t dare to shut down or restart it. Any help will be appreciated!

Even though Apple claims that Mac OS X is a very robust and healthy system, there is still problem with system, software and hardware. Once the system, software and hardware go wrong, Mac will also run improperly. Therefore, it is very common that your Mac gets stuck at White Screen while you start up it. Yes, White Screen usually occurs while you’re starting up Mac OS X system, and it will take a long time for Mac trying to bypass this white screen but still no success. Even though White Screen looks still and no changes, there are still processes going on in background. Keys on keyboard don’t work. There is no noise and Mac will not respond to any input, and sometimes it even doesn’t allow you to shut down. White screen seems very frustrating.

My Macbook get a message “CoreTelephony Trace File error” on each profile I login to just start a few days ago. When I’m playing Football Manager on Google Chrome, it crashes, freezes and shuts down suddenly, and when I’m rebooting I get this message before starting up: Coretelephony trace file error. Now I also can’t open the parallels desktop. What can I do? Why do I get this error? Please help to repair my Mac book, thank you in advance.

Picture presentation about “CoreTelephony Trace File error”

Why did I got “Coretelephony trace file error”? How to repair?

If you get Coretelephony trace file error, the main problem is the/tmp directory permissions. Electronic products always have problems when using for a long time. Some errors are produced in your improper operation. In order to fix this error on your Mac, there are several kinds of methods:

Method one:

Close SIP protection, and then modify the permissions. Inspection of /tmp directory showed only contents a subdirectory “/tmp/notifcations”. It could not be removed and remained on rebooted system. After trying numerous suggestions including running disk utility and resetting permissions while in recovery mode, the following remedied. Turn off System Integrity Protection and reboot to clear unwanted files in /tmp and restore needed file /tmp/ct.shutdown. Problem gone when rebooted. “/tmp/notifications” was removed. Error message gone. Reenabling System Integrity Protection did not bring back problem. Thinking El Capitan upgrade had failed to clean up after itself.

I’ve a problem I’ve never come across before and its how to copy files to External Hard Drive? I’ve just migrated from using Windows for 15 years onto Apple iMac and had been copy files easily on Windows without any hassle and thought I’d done the same on my iMac but seemingly they’re hard to copy the files or folders to any other External Hard Drive, I have tried to format it to FAT32 but it’s still the same. Do you have any ideas as to why this happens and how to solve this please?

Why Mac Files Won’t Copy To External Hard Drive?

The problem is that your drive is Windows NTFS formatted by default. Mac system is not support this format, OS X can’t write NTFS out of the box (at least not without some tweaks). Here are some ways to do this. So why Mac files won’t copy to external hard drive? There are several reasons:

1. External Hard Drive has been locked. You will get a notice said the item “folder name” could not be moved because “USB-HDD” cannot be modified. In fact, the external USB drive is not formatted for use with your Mac. the drive is formatted as NTFS which is normal in a Windows environment. While OS X is able to read from a drive that is formatted at NTFS, it cannot write to one. You will get a warning saying that the drive cannot be modified.

2. External Hard Drive in a read-only state. It is in a read-only state, you will not be able to copy and modify the file. So you need to check if the External Hard Drive in a read-only state or not.

3. Connection or damage issue about External Hard Drive. A misaligned or malfunctioning cable may be the cause of the problem， especially if you also have errors when trying to read from the external disk.

Help me please! My Mac is still not going on but gets stuck at the process of updating software or something related system. This update has been on about 8 hours since last night, and grey status bar is now loading in from the left in black. I wonder if updates are still going on in the background. Will every data be lost? I don’t have any clue on this issue. I’ve never encountered such annoying matter. Can you guide me through to get it fixed? I need to access Mac to finish homework soon.

What does it look like if Mac doesn’t finish updating?

Sometimes, there will be some problem with updating Mac software, app and Mac system, so Mac can’t finish updates improperly. Even though, Mac OS X is claimed to be an extremely robust system, chances of updates going wrong also can happen. When Mac is frozen at updating screen, you will see white, grey or black screen, Apple logo, and grey process status bar loading in from the left in black. Keys on keyboard stroke-nothing happens! Sometimes, even though it goes to 99%, it stops and you have to leave it going for several hours but do nothing. Mac even doesn’t allow you to shut down and you have to get stuck on the update screen for a long time. There is no noise and Mac will not respond to any input. It seems very helpless. And users don’t know how to do with it.

Hey, my Facebook Account has been hacked! And I try to log in to my Facebook account. When I log it to my Facebook account, it asks me to enter my security code. When it sends the security code for me, I enter it, and it says “You have attempted too many code entries recently. Please try again later.” and then I visited my facebook from my friend’s account, I found my photo albums and account has been changed. So, I just want to know what is going on, whether it will threat to my account information and how to I regain access to my Facebook account again. I felt strange and panic. Please help!

Why your Facebook account gets hacked?

If your Facebook account has been hacked, locked or disabled? As Facebook has grown in popularity, it takes its security measures very seriously, so if an account appears to pose any sort of security threat, the system will automatically flag it for review, therefore disabling user access. Security threats can include any of the following cases: creation of an account under a false identity, promoting illegal content, and unsolicited contact for dating, harassment of other users, inappropriate or spam advertising, or general suspicious activity. The above behavior can make your account disabled. Even if you didn’t do that, the risk of your account may also be hijacked by malicious people. Read the rest of this post »
