Firefox 4 hangs on startup on my new MacBook Pro. How do I find a version that will launch?

I have down loaded Firefox 4 five times today.
I click on the icon. It starts to come up but hangs
each time. No browser window ever appears,
but Firefox shows in the "Force Quit" window
aass "not responding".

same for me, but restarting our computers is not really a solution for a chronic flaw. issues with plugin-container.exe, visible in Task Manager (in XP) seem to be the cause - about:config hacks claim to solve this problem, but didn't work for me, so i'm back, temporarily i hope, to FF 3.6.
otherwise, FF 4 was brilliant - so i sure hope they get this hanging-on-shutdown glitch patched asap.

    I can´t download skype to my new macbook pro, I can´t find it in the App Store, do you know why?

    There are a number of developers who have chosen for various reasons not to offer their software through the Mac App Store, so don't assume that if an application is not in the App Store that the application is not available. It may well be available directly from the developer or some other download site. MacUpdate is a good resource for looking for applications:

  • Installed Trend Micro Smart Surfing on new MacBook Pro and now it has caused error that won't let computer boot up.  How do I get it to a point that I can delete program?

    Try booting up in Safe mode (holding down the Shift key while booting). If the software came with an unistaller, use it to remove alll traces of the software - it's nothing that you need and, as you've experienced, can do more actual hard than good (as is the case with most software of this type). When you're booted in Safe Mode, if you can't run an uninstaller, at least check to make sure that there are no Trend Micro items that are set for automatic log in, at least.

    Put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
    When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window.
    Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. You should see your hard drive in the left hand column along with your other drives. Click on the drive and select the Erase tab. Set the format value to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and click the Erase button. After that has finished select the Partition tab. Type in a Name for your hard drive and select how many partitions you want from the Volume Scheme. The usual setting is one partition. Click on the Options button after you've selected a partition to make sure it's set for GUID. Then click the Apply button and after the Partitioning is done quit Disk Utility.
    You can now follow the instructions on the install screen

    I have upgraded to a new macbook. How do I find the website I created on my previous macbook?

    Time Machine makes a backup of every bit on your computer, unless you explicitely exclude the file.
    You would know it.
    The library folder is invisible as of Lion.
    You want your file back?
    Brace yourself, I wrote a long explanation to make you happy.
    Make sure you follow the instruction character by character. It works a advertised.
    Here we go.
    Login as Administrator to have full control of your computer. If you do not konw how, find out.
    Enter Time Machine
    Once in Time Machine do Escape to leave it.
    Do Command-Shift-C
    You see the time Machine Backup.
    Double-cick to open it.
    Use list view (Command-2) to see the folders and files.
    Click the triangle to open the folder with the date of the latest backup on your old computer.
    Click the triangle to open the folder with the name of the Harddisk of your old computer.
    Click the triangle to open folder Users.
    Click the triangle to open folder with the Username on your old computer.
    Do you see the Library folder?
    STOP.
    Open Terminal.app (in's in Applications/Utilities).
    Type cd and a space
    Drag the folder with your Username on the Terminal window and hit Return.
    Type ls -al (and hit Return)
    You'll see the contents of the home directory.
    Type cd Library (UPPERCASE EL hit Return)
    Type ls -al (and hit Return to make sure we're in the right directory)
    Type cd "Application Support" (INCLUDING THE QUOTATIONS and hit Return)
    Type ls -al (and hit Return. Scroll to see if the iWeb folder is there)
    Type cd iWeb (hit Return)
    Type ls -al (and hit Return)
    You should see the Domain.sites2 file (actually a directory, since Terminals does not understand packages)
    Type cp -R Domain.sites2 ~/Desktop/ (hit Return)
    Terminal will copy the domain file to the Desktop.
    Is it there? Great.
    In Terminal again.
    Type chflags nohidden ~/Library (and hit return to make the Library folder visible.)
    In the Finder, move the domain file to Library/Application Support/iWeb/ in your Home directory (Command-Shift-H)
    Double-click it to open it in iWeb.
    If that does not happen, browse this forum for solutions, or wait for others to help you.
    You can later move the file your own Home directory.
    Do Command-Shift-Q to logout.
    Practice.

  • HT1414 having bought a new MacBook, I wanted to Sync my iPhone4 to it, but it insists the only method to do so is to "Erase and Sync" or "Cancel" which leaves no option to just use iTunes on the new MacBook Pro - how annoying is that???

    I have had the iphone4 for 2 years now and I bought a new MacBook Pro, opened iTunes and it knew I already had other machines with iTunes sync'ed with it but it still insisted on offering one option or sync'ing with new MacBook - "Erase and Sync", which means deleting EVERYTHING on the iphone. What if I want my iPhone to dictate and get iTunes on the Macbook to match up with the iPhone??? Or at least get iTunes to relate to what my iTunes account obviously has on it and update that way. Come on Apple, as per usual, very pretty but not very practical!!!

    You can only sync everything with your one syncing computer/iTunes library. Yu can:
    - Make this your syncing computer by:
    Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities
    - Use the manual method to copy music and videos from any computer/iTunes library to the iPod. See the manual method included here:

  • New Macbook Pro -- How to use boot camp?

    Okay, so, let me preface this by saying that I've had about 4 different Intel macs now and have installed windows without a problem on all of them. But this new Macbook Pro that I JUST GOT earlier today is really proving difficult.
    First question: I own both Windows XP Professional and Windows 7. I'd prefer to install with Windows XP, but whenever I used Boot Camp Assistant to install windows xp, the xp cd had trouble loading and I was never unable to install it. When I tried Windows 7, it worked perfectly fine. Is the new boot camp incapable of installing older versions of Windows or something?
    Secondly: After successfully installing Windows 7 Ultimate onto my new Macbook Pro via Boot Camp Assistant, I'm having some trouble loading the drivers. On my past mac computers, I had to load my Mac OS X install disc into my disc drive while on the windows partition and simply run the program "setup.exe".
    But now, when I do that, I have the option of installing mac os x on the computer (which I already have on another partition and is not something that I want to do) or installing some sort of dvd file sharing software or something? How do I download the Apple Drivers onto my Windows 7 partition?
    Thank you!

    Hi,
    Windows Xp and Vista are no longer supported on the 2011 MacBook Pros, Only Windows 7 http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4410
    As for the second part, are you really using the OSx Install DVD that came with your new MBP for the Driver installation ?
    The trouble you describe is usually shown when using another OSX disc than the machine-specific-one.
    Regards

  • Synch music from iPod to new MacBook Pro .. can't find my music in iTunes

    Hello, this is Bryan ....
    I recently purchased a new MacBook Pro because my old MacBook was 7 years old. All of my data was saved on external hard drive (time machine) files and apps transferred fine. ... one thing which did transfer to my new computer is my music... Perhaps I don't know how to access iTunes properly ?
    I have an iPod which I use with my stereo all the time   ... it has never been synched to the New MacBook Pro.
    The iPod has 4,530 songs and some playlists ... I don't want to lose this data.
    Can someone help me ???
