I am running mac osx 10.5.8, but FireFox is giving me a message that it is not compatible with my version of osx and will not let me install. The web site says it is compatible with osx 10.5. Am I missing something?

I was able to download the current version of FireFox but when I tried to install, I got a message that FireFox is not compatible with my current os. What else should I consider or try doing to get FireFox to work?

Beginning with Firefox 4, Macs must have an Intel x86 processor (which you do NOT have; yours is a PPC Mac) '''''and''''' OSX 10.5 or higher.
*System Requirements: [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/4.0/system-requirements/index.html Firefox 4] [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/5.0/system-requirements/index.html Firefox 5] [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/6.0/system-requirements/index.html Firefox 6] [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/7.0/system-requirements/index.html Firefox 7] [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/8.0/system-requirements/index.html Firefox 8]
'''''The good news''''' is that Firefox 3.6.24 still supports OSX 10.4 and Macs with the PPC Mac architecture. '''''The bad news''''' is that support for the Firefox 3.6.x series is likely to end in the first quarter of 2012.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You can install a 64-bit Windows 7 or Vista version in your Mac. Make sure you downloaded these drivers > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1630 Also, if you have the Snow Leopard DVD you used to upgrade your Mac or the OS X DVD that came with your Mac, you can use it to install the Boot Camp drivers

Why does the pop up window for a printable coupon only appears briefly (in the upper left corner) and then disappear, even after putting the web site into the Tools,Options,Content,Pop-Up Exceptions?

I am at http://www.closys.com/samples_&_coupons/get_a_coupon.html and the pop up window for a printable coupon only appears briefly (in the upper left corner) and then disappears, even after putting the web site into the Tools,Options,Content,Pop-Up Exceptions. What gives and how can it be fixed. I have a time limit.
Thanks for your solution.
Dan

Mha007:
Sorry, but I have already tried this too and verified that the web addresses are listed as Allow, rather than Block. After restart there was no difference, I still get the disappearing pop-up windows.
Thanks for offering suggestions though.
Have you heard of any issues like this occurring based on the number of tabs that are open in Firefox?
Just a thought, even though I have not heard of this as an issue before. I keep about 80 tabs open regularly, because of research that I am always conducting (I am a blogger, a writer/author, a technophile-especially Green Tech.,), email, work, etc.?
I do have a check in the box for Firefox to let me know if the number of open tabs is causing slow down or other issues.
Thanks for any help.

JPG files copied to Philips Picopix 3410 are currupted with a prefix of ._ and will not display on the PicoPix

JPG files copied to Philips Picopix 3410 are currupted with a prefix of ._ and will not display on the PicoPix. Help please?

There are a couple of ways to remove these items from the drive.
One is with the $15 shareware app, BlueHarvest. It will remove the AppleDouble files from the drives you want the ._ files removed from, and has an option to prevent them from being written to non Apple formatted drives in the first place.
But the free and pretty easy way to do it is to use Terminal. From what I can see in the manual for your projector, you can only get images to it on either an SD card or a USB flash drive. So I'm going to assume a USB drive for the following.
Plug in your MS-DOS formatted drive so it appears on the Mac desktop. Open Terminal and enter:
dot_clean -m
Enter a space after the -m . Then drag and drop the icon of your flash drive into the Terminal window. It will fill in the path of the drive. Press Enter. All ._ files will be removed from that volume.
Actually, I think it removes all files that start with a period. None of which are of any great importance on a DOS formatted drive. Such as the hidden trash for that drive. The next time you plug the drive in, OS X will simply recreate it.

My sons ipod classic was left on all day and now has a red circle with a cross in it and will not work

my sons ipod classic was left on all day and now has a red circle with a cross in it and will not work - nothing we do will make it work - any ideas??

Try to restore the iPod. Here's an article that provides troubleshooting for it.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1463
If that doesn't work visit an Apple Store and see if they can replace it.

My Ipad Mini with retina display has crashed and will not restart.

My Ipad Mini with retina display has crashed and will not restart.Only the white screen with the apple logo will appear. This comes and goes randomly. I've tried resetting by holding the front and top buttons. I've also tried resetting using itunes. Neither had any effect, The Ipad was a christmas present and only worked for several hours, the apple store can not look at it for another week. Is this a common occurance? I thought apple products were expensive because they never had problems.

Call Apple and explain as it is new. They will go over things to try and fix over the iPad over the phone. If they need to fix it they should send you a new one and you put the old one in thePrepaid return box they send you and send back the defective iPad for no cost. This is what they did with my first iPad 1st gen. I had. Unless they changed their policy you will get the box within a day or two and have your replacement for it the same day.
I hope how they helped me is the same for you. Good luck.

After syncing Firefox with my Android phone, Google calendar is not functional. It hangs on "Loading" and will not allow updates or edits. Calendar works in IE, just not Firefox on any computer. Clearing cookies and cache no help.

I synced Firefox with my Droid Razr Maxx Firefox. Now Google Calendar hangs on "Loading" and will not function. Clearing cache and cookies does not help. Works the same on any computer Firefox. But Gmail works fine and Calendar is okay under other browsers.

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer. 
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. 
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

Formatted HP dm4-3099se with Windows 7 Home Premium and Would Want to Re-install the Home Premium

My laptop is HP Pavilion dm4-3099se and it came with Windows 7 Home Premium. The password was misplaced and I was advised to format the system. The system was formatted (all the disks were deleted except the C: drive) and a Windows 8 pro OS installed. Shortly after the formatting, the misplaced password was found. If it is possible, I would love to revert to the OS that came with the system (i.e Window Home Premium) and also recover all the drivers that came with the system.
Please, help me.
This question was solved.

Hi,
There are Two options available.
1. You can order a replacement set of Recovery Discs using the link below - these will reinstall the operating system, all required drivers and nearly all of the original software ( the exception often being trials of MS Office ). They will also re-create all the original partitions, including the Recovery Partition.
Order HP Recovery Discs.
2. Another option you could consider is to create your own Windows 7 installation disc.
Also, if possible, back-up the swsetup folder that can be found at the root of your C drive.
You can create a Windows 7 installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the correct Disc Image ( this must be the same version that originally came with your notebook - this is listed as Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit ) from the link below and use an application such as ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly to a blank DVD - a guide on using ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is Here. These Images are clean and from a well-respected source ( Digital River ).
Windows-7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit
Use the disc to perform the installation, enter the Windows activation key found on the COA Label when requested and when the installation has completed, use the 'Phone Method' detailed in the link below to activate the OS - this method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who just want a clean installation of Windows 7 without the additional software load normally bundled with OEM installations.
http://www.kodyaz.com/articles/how-to-activate-windows-7-by-phone.aspx
Regarding the drivers etc you need, if you were able to back-up the swsetup this will contain all the software and driver installers for your notebook - if you weren't able to, drivers and software you may need can also be found Here.
Best regards,
DP-K

When I try to attach my css style sheet Dreamweaver gives me an error saying that my .css file appears to be an .html file and will not attach. How do I fix this so I can attach my style sheet?

I have built a css style sheet in Dreamweaver. When I try to attach it to my html website, it prompts me that my "css file appears to be an .html file and cannot attach". I've tried removing the /* */ as suggested by other forums, but this has not resolved the issue. I was using css style sheets with no problem 2 days ago. Now I get that error message. How do I fix this so I can attach my style sheet?

What does the code of the CSS file look like?
An external CSS file needs to be written in CSS only (no html tags like <html>, <body>, <head>, etc ).
It also must have a .css file extension, if yours has a .html extension it won't work.

I'm playing Cityville on Facebook....since I updated my Firefox I am having a problem. It keeps popping up with a 'about blank' page, and will not let me play, send gifts or anything else.

when I try to send gifts, a popup window "about blank' shows up, and then it doesn't show my friends or anything else. I am having a hard time loading cityville, and am virtually unable to play the game.

Also I copied this from my other computer web page:
Reported Phishing website ahead. Your network ha been monitored. Your network has been compromised due to Browser hijacking.The browser hijacking software may redirect you towards phishing websites that try to access your Login Password details. To fix this browser redirection issue we recommend you ask for instant help. Help Line 1 877 899 1824.
Then another smaller popup window pops up
http://www.pcassists.info
Security Error
Call Helpline 1877 899 1824
So this is what I was talking about, and the small popup window plus the larger Window stating "Reported Phishing website ahead" will not go away and I cannot use Safari anymore even after I shut down my computer, disconnected it, and then signed on again and reopened Safari, it still takes me to that page and I cannot get out of it.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!

Problem with l355 s7817 Blue Screens and will not boot up

Hello, I am new to this forum so excuse my forum etiquitte. I have a l355 S7817 for 2 yrs and I have had to do a system restore on this laptop twice. I am a Vista SP2 user that has been getting blue screens recently when trying to boot up. I have gone and cleared cache, temp files, temp internet files and removed new software that was loaded and I am still getting the BSOD. I can come up in safe mode, sometimes with networking but when I go to copy data to my external HDD so I can do a system restore again, I get the BSOD. I have tried to restore from a chk point and still get errors. I need to gather my data off the drive so I can do a restore but I cannot get my data due to it fails in the middle of the copy. Any ideas what could be causing this.
I had no problem with my laptop all last week but come Monday, It started doing this. I get a message in Safe mode saying Windows has recovered from an unexpected shutdown. Windows can check for a online solution to the problem. It finds nothing and in the problem details it says
Problem event name Blue screen

Additional Info on problem

My firefox crashed and will only let me install a 2.0.0.20 version (computer OSX10.3.9), was running Firefox 3.6 - any way to get back my bookmarks?

i think firefox 2.0.0.20 and 3.6 store their bookmarks differently. i would like to recover my bookmarks from 3.6 which i ran on for a year or more with no problems until this recent vaporization. i know the bookmarks must still be someplace and would like to put them in the right folder of the only firefox version my computer will now allow (2.0.0.20). have done nothing else to change the use, just suddenly firefox quit working and i had to reinstall and no upgrades will install.

I tried your suggestions, but they did not fix the problem. I downloaded Google Chrome and found that it was giving me a similar problem, but it was labeled error #336. I searched for that error number and found it had something to do with proxy settings. I figured out how to follow the instructions for fixing it in Chrome, but in Firefox instead, and that fixed my problem totally. I have no idea how my proxy settings got changed in the first place, but at least it's working now. Thanks!

New Computer- XP to windows 7 and I transfered my music with an external hard drive and will not locate the music. How do I fix this?

I just copied all my itunes mucis folders onto my external hard drive and copied them over to my new windows 7 computer and I itune cannot "locate" the music. How do I fix this?

I suspect your library has been transformed from the old layout into the new one. See make a split library portable for details. The empty but for artwork folders you're seeing are likely to contain orphaned artwork and .ini files generated at some point by Windows Media Player. iTunes doesn't move these when it shuffles things around. Once you've made sure you can move the artist folders sideways or down into another folder, make sure nothing else has been affected, then remove.

Trying to add a device, web site says I have an order pending and I can't add until completed ?

I'm trying to add a device and the web site says I can until the pending order is complete.. Yet I have no pending orders at least authorized by me.. and the help and chat assistance is non-existence.. worrisome that there might be some kind of order pending with out my OK, and you can't chat with any reps about it... ..

Have a bigger problem than this pls advise if you can help..
AT&T
I have a plan with them. And I'm upset With them (at&t)
So I'd like to switch (from them)
I've had AT&T since 1984 (though all there airtouch,cigular, etc)switches. they have no loyalty anymore.
There free upgrade, is 36 dollars (they lie a lot lately)..(free upgrade fee???) then there's the required data plan for the free upgrade etc. do you want to use the phone for phone calls ?? there's a free fee for that too...
So this is how I'm here poking around.
Verizon I have a mobile hotspot.. it used at times in Monterey, CA . by Lori.
My company gave me a Verizon Smart phone (removed). this is primarily for work. there plan.
I've been told I can use it at will, but it's still not to me a personal line.
With at&t I have 3 lines shared minutes etc, and home internet though uverse (at&t)
So I have a mixed bag I'd like to clear up to one low easily managed service.
I'd rather not incur additional cost trying to switch out all the phones etc
Like to keep current phone numbers.
The home internet (uverse) double my rate last month (end of promo) to 42 a month. not happy about that and am canceling that asap and returning there modem. I don't need much more than reading e-mail and such for my desktop computer, and netbook I use at wifi when needed (free hotspots etc).
my wireless (cell phones) 3 lines 1400 minutes runs 130 a month. I'm not using that much anymore as the company phones picking up all the business calls now.. (they drop the cellular reimbursement money from my paycheck).
the 1400 plan I had unlimited email no data free friends family (a list) grandfathered.
One phone is a Pantech breeze III (p2030) (removed) (think it's locked)
#2 phone AT&T Z221 (removed) (think it's locked)
my phone #3 is a sony-ericsson C905 (unlocked) bit it's having problems (slider open disconnect calls sometimes and static. Ok using Bluetooth closed slider) (removed).
So let me know if you can come up with a way to save me time and of course money.
I personally think I could share data off my existing account for my desktop here, as I'm mainly interested in doing e-mail on my home computer.
Thanks mike
