Everyday when I open Firefox a msg comes on the screen that says "It is strongly recommended that you apply this update for Firefox ASAP. When I try to install, it will not connect to the connecting server so it just clocks forever.

See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update (Software Update not working properly)
Remove the files in the updates and updates\0 folder.
You may need to delete active-update.xml and updates.xml as well if present.
XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox\updates
(%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox)
If you have problems with updating then easiest is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.
You may need to remove the Firefox program folder to do a clean install of the new version.
Do a clean (re-)install:
* Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Do not remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

YouTube Video's will not load, is there a way to fix this?

I have flash installed and all YouTube video's will not load. In their place there is a black box when I right click on this box it says "movie not loaded..." and "about adobe flash player." All other flash related video's load fine it seems to be a problem only with YouTube. This problem persists into Google Chrome but not Internet Explorer.

This has been reported many times over the past 24 hours and if the solution hasn't been posted yet, one short-term workaround is to change from a regular session to a secure session.
Click in the URL and insert an s after http. In other words:
http://www.youtube.com/ ==> https://www.youtube.com/

TS1398 I installed the iOS 6 update for my ipad 3, now it will not connect to the internet. Has this happened to anyone else?

Actually I cannot access my home wifi from my laptop or cell anymore either.
I reset the modem and router about 10 times and called my ISP who said there's no problem on their end.
I've tried everything I can think of. Any advice?

Make Sure iOS is updated to the latest version
Reboot the device by pressing and holding down the home and sleep/wake buttons (power) at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings
If that doesn't work, then update iTunes on computer, backup device to iTunes, then restore the device.

AppStore asking to sign in every time I log in to my local account. Is there a way to disable this?

I recently upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion on my MacBook Pro and I noticed that every time I log in to my local account it wants me to authenticate with the AppStore. I have a few apps that I purchased in Snow Leopard, but this is very annoying. Is there a way to disable this prompt or have it saved to my keychain?
I am currently running 10.7.1 with all the latest updates.
Thanks!

Go to the Store menu and Check for Available Downloads...?
I used to get prompted when there was something waiting or unfinished.
Regards,
Colin R.

If you activated "Find My Mac" in iCloud before the loss, maybe. Otherwise no.

I recently installed iTunes 11.0. Now when I want to sync my iPhone 3GS the software wants to add 256 contacts and 1005 items to my calendar. I would assume that these are duplications. Is there some way to fix this?

I recently installed iTunes 11.0. Now when I want to sync my iPhone 3GS the software wants to add 256 contacts and 1005 items to my calendar, both on my Windows XP computer. I would assume that these are duplications. Is there some way to fix this? Alternatively, how can I reinstall the previous version of iTunes?

I have already authorized this computer with my Apple ID. I think this only allows me to re-download all purchased applications to the iTunes library again without re-purchasing them. However, iTunes still keeps asking me if I want to "erase and sync" or not.

I accidentally deleted a very important page in my NOTES. Is there any way to retrieve this?

I accidentally deleted an important page in NOTES. Is there any way to retrieve this?

If you have backed up the iPad since you created that page of notes and if you have not synced since, you can try restoring the iPad from a backup. Remember that the notes do have to be in the backup and when you restore from a backup, you restore all app data and files from that backup. You cannot select specific content to restore to the iPad. It is all or nothing.
If you want to try this, turn off auto sync in iTunes - without the iPad connected to the computer. Launch iTunes and go to Edit>Preference>Devices>Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from automatically syncing. Check the box at the bottom, click OK. Make sure that you have a backup in that window as well. Click OK and quit iTunes.
Now connect the iPad and launch iTunes. Right click on the iPad name on the left and select - Restore from Backup. Select your backup from the window - Let the iPad restore and then sync with iTunes.
you can turn at sync back on again when you are done.

With 10.7.2 update iCal does not allow you to set "Reminders" by draging events from "All Day Events" into "Reminders" is there another way to do this instead of having to type out the entire reminder with date, time, and type?

With 10.7.2 update iCal does not allow you to set "Reminders" by draging events from "All Day Events" into "Reminders" is there another way to do this instead of having to type out the entire reminder with date, time, and type?
With Lion 10.7.1. you where able to drag events from "All Day Events" into the "Reminders" bar to create upcoming reminders.

Exactly the same question I was about to post!
Great being able to sync reminders (well overdue) however if I have to re-type a calener envent into reminders it's a waste of time!!
Come on Apple!!
Just need an option for the calender event to add to reminder or the old drag to add to reminder functionality back, Please???

I installed Lion and now my MS office will not work, is there a way to revert back my original software?

I installed Lion and now my MS office will not work, is there a way to revert back my original software?

Back to Snow Leopard from Lion install method
Read and print out these instructions, your computer is going to be offline and you wil be cutoff from help until your machine is restored.
Clear the Desktop, Downloads and Trash of anything you wish to keep by placing their files in the respective Documents, Music, Pictures, Movie folders.
If you have a TimeMachine drive, update it and disconnect for the duration of this restore time. It will be your second backup system and will have to be wiped and setup again after successfully going back to Snow Leopard if it was connected to the OS X 10.7 boot drive. If it wasn't, then leave it disconnected without updating to Lion.
Backup ALL your Users folders (Documents, Pictures, Movies, Music etc) manually (drag and drop methods) to a (not TimeMachine) external powered drive (HFS+ journaled formatted in Disk Utility) and disconnect, your going to be wiping the entire disk of ALL DATA. (warning, everything will be gone and not recovered)
Here we go!
Hold c and boot off the 10.6 installer disk that comes with your computer and second screen in just STOP.
Look at the Utilities Menu for Disk Utility.
On the left is the name of your hard drive maker, click it and Erase (format HFS+ Journaled), give it the same name as before, and click Erase...
This should wipe the drive of ALL partitions (GUID, OS X and 10.7 Recovery, Windows if present)
When it's done, quit and install OS X 10.6. Then install all your programs from fresh sources and validate/update.
When you setup a first account, use the same user name as before, this way you can simply drag and drop the content of your previous Users folders from the external drive right back into the new Users folders and everything should work peachy. Links in iTunes to music, playlists and iPhoto links especially.
Update OS X to 10.6.8 using the Combo Update for best results.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
(Note: If your original machine had 10.5 and you want the free iLife that comes with the disks with the computer, then you'll have to install 10.5 first using the same c boot/erase/format methods as above, then update to 10.6 via the disk, then Combo Update 10.6.8)
Final step optional but highly receommended.
A lot of people use a Carbon Copy Clone of their boot drive to a HFS+Journaled external drive as a "hold the option key" bootable backup in case something goes wrong with their boot drive or need to restore to a previous OS X version.. (in addition to TimeMachine drive for more immediate backups.)
It's not advised to have a Bootable Clone and a TimeMachine partition on the same external drive, as two drives gives hardware protection in case one fails.

Just switched from safari on my imac. when using search menu safari gave me the option to "find on this page," which was an incredible help while doing research. Is there any way to have this feature using firefox?

Just switched from safari on my imac. When using search menu in safari I had the option to "find on this page," which was an incredible help while doing research and looking for specific phrases/words. Is there any way to have this feature using firefox?

I think Safari has the same keyboard shortcut as Firefox "command+F" on a Mac or "Ctrl+F" on Windows.
Look in the lower left corner for the Find. There are more likely to be differences in Find Next and Find Previous in the keyboard shortcuts, but continuing at the Find bar at the bottom doesn't matter what browser you use. There is an "X" there to dismiss the Find bar. In Windows the "Esc" key will dismiss the bar if you are within the find text entry area.
Keyboard shortcuts:
* [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Keyboard%20shortcuts?s=keyboard&r=0&as=s Keyboard shortcuts | How to | Firefox Help], from Mozilla very limited number of shortcuts but will show correctly for your system
* [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/keyboard.htm Firefox and other Browser Keyboard Shortcuts (Comparison Table)], more comprehensive but is oriented to Windows users with some guidelines for Mac and Linux users.

I keep getting a pop up saying 'It is strongly recommended that you apply this update for Firefox as soon as possible.' When I click 'View more information about this update' nothing happens. Do I need an update or not?

If I click the Next button it says Connecting to the update server for Downloading Firefox. I am connected to the internet. It just keeps displaying the same msg but nothing seems to be happening. I tried clicking the Hide button and now I can't get back to it. What is this about?

There is a security update for Firefox (Firefox 10.0.2) which you should apply. Unfortunately, it looks as if the updater on your Firefox is messing up somehow.
The easiest way to work around this and get you secure is to go to [http://www.getfirefox.com www.getfirefox.com], and download the latest version of Firefox there. After it downloads, go ahead and run the installer over your current Firefox. None of your settings will be changed, but it will apply the security fix, and you will be all good to go!

Firefox is suddenly always on top. This keeps happening every few days. Is there some way to fix this without doing a reset? Why is it happening?

Using Firefox 27.0.1. Suddenly firefox always wants to be on top. I do not know why this is happening now. The only fix I can find is advice to reset firefox. But I am having to reset firefox every week. This is unacceptable. I'm about to throw up my hands and find another web browser. Can someone please suggest another solution?
