Each morning I get a notice to download a Firefox security update. When I click install, I get a message saying Installing Firefox and Connecting to the update server. It never connects; the progress bar just spins all day.

Since shortly after installing Firefo 5 I get this message every time I start Firefox. A dialog box comes up that says Installing Firefox, followed by a spinning progress bar, followed by "connecting to the update server." It never progresses past this point and will stay this way indefinitely until I close the Window.
Also since installing Firefox 5, the program crashes at least once or twice a day and I have to quit and restart. Don't know if there's any relationship between the two issues.

If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
* Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded

When updating iTunes I get a message saying invalid signature and it won't update, is there a fix for this?

When i click on itunes to open, message says: the registry settings used by the itune drivers for importing and burning cds and dvds are missing. this can result from installing other cd burning software. Reinstall itunes. I'm inexperienced. Please help

When I click on itunes, I get a message that says, "the registry settings used by the itune drivers for importing and burning cds and dvds are missing. this can result from installing other cd burning software. Reinstall itunes." I am a really inexperienced computer user. My computer is a windows 7. Would someone please walk me through this or tell me where to find information on how to do this. Thanking in advance, Laurie

Check out this Apple article -> iTunes for Windows: "Registry settings" warning when opening iTunes
The article will walk you through reinstalling iTunes and then checking for or creating device filters. Did it help? Did you run into any problems?

This is a user-to-user forum, and although Adobe staff make occasional appearances here, there is no guarantee that you will get any "officila" Adobe feedback.
If you have difficulties to install the online installer from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/, then download the offline installer http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe; save it to disk, then run it after closing all browser windows.

When I click to install Firefox update the progress bar just keeps on going without ever connecting.

Most every time I start Firefox (the past few weeks) I get a message that there is an update available and "It is strongly recommended that you apply this update as soon as possible". In the same window there is a link to "more information about this update". The link doesn't work. When I click on install a window titled "Downloading Firefox" opens reporting "connecting to the update server...". The progress bar just keeps going and going without ever connecting.

HT4009 My daughter downloaded zombie farm and purchased 100 brains - I was billed for the purchase but she never recieved the brains. Three days later I was billed for another purchase of brains that she did not order or recieve - how do I get my account

My daughter downloaded zombie farm and tried to purchase 100 brains - I was billed for the purchase but she never recieved the brains - three days later I was billed for a purchase of 100 brains again even thought no one made the purchase - how do I get a refund?

If you did not receive the "merchandise" then a refund is due. Just click through the support link provided above, fill out the form at the end, clearly state the facts and state them again via reply email.
Also prepare to send copies of the billings and provide the user name associated with Zombie Farm and Game Center (if applicable).
All should work out, but if satisfaction is not received, file a claim with your credit card issuer.

I downloaded the iCloud control panel on my PC but can't sign in - message says "This apple ID is valid but not an iCloud account. I've tried the account set up several times but it keeps just spinning me in circles. Can you help?

I downloaded the iCloud control panel on my PC but can't sign in - message says "This apple ID is valid but not an iCloud account. I've tried the account set up several times but it keeps just spinning me in circles, asking me to sign in and then I get the same message again. This is getting frustrating and I really don't seem to be able to get help. I can't contact customer support because I have a PC and there is a serial number of an apple device required.Can anyone help please?

You can't setup (create) an iCloud account using a PC. You must use an Apple device, a Mac or an iPhone etc. Once you have created an account you can sign in from your PC.

What's happened to the Share Monitor or at least a progress bar in 10.0.6?

Previously when exporting using the Share menu, I either had a progress bar or the Share Monitor to show how my export was doing.
Now in 10.0.6 there appears to be neither of these items so I have no idea how long it will take.
Am I doing something wrong or have both these items disappeared?
If the latter, how do I estimate the time the export will take?

All exports in FCP X as of 10.0.6 are background processes, and GPU enbled so they are much, much faster.
Click the Background Process indicator in the Dashboard to see the progress there. Just like when you import files. The great news is, now you can contiue working while exporting is going on in the background.

The D610 didn't get out-of-the-box RAW support until Photoshop CC.
You can either upgrade to CC or use the DNG Converter to convert and open your DNGs in CS5.

Where has the "Clean up" "Clean up by" option gone for organizing folders? I just upgraded to OS X Maverick today and noticed it was no longer a option when right clicking; also, it is grayed out in the view tab.

click save as defult at the bottom
then when you right click the clean up by options will now be there
hope this helps

Everytime I receive an email with an address for the main content, all I get is the following statement "The proxy server is refusing connections" This happens evrytime and is very fraustrating.

When I click onto the "Read Full Article..." tab I go to the Mozilla Firefox page which says there is a problem loading page - Mozilla Firefox, and then get the "The proxy server is refusing connections" and the o2 Broadband assistant then kicks in and starts trying to find the connections even though o2 broadband is connected.
I have tried re-installing Firefox but this does not improve the situation which is frustrating as I have to send everything to my work account so that I can read any further information.

You can find the connection settings in Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection<br />
If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select "No Proxy"
See "Firefox connection settings":

If you only changed the name of your ID rather than creating a new ID, just go to Settins>iCloud and tap Delete Account then sign back in with the new name. (Deleting the account from your phone does not delete it from iCloud. Your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.)
If you created a new ID, you'll have to go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn all data you are syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off. When prompted choose to keep the data on your iPhone. (If you are syncing iWork documents with iCloud, also open your iWork apps and turn off iCloud syncing and choose to keep the documents on your phone.) After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. Next, set up a new iCloud account using your other ID, then turn syncing for your data (contacts, etc.) back to On. When prompted, choose Merge. This will upload the data to your new account.
You won't lose any photos in your camera roll or photo library. If you have any photos in your photo stream that are over 30 days old that are not in your camera roll or saved on your computer, be sure to save these to the camera roll before deleting the account. To do so, open the photo stream album on your iPhone in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos you need to save to select them, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.
