I can't uninstall Firefox version 11 from my MAC, nor can I upgrade to a more recent version of Firefox.

I believe that I have a corrupted version of Firefox. I have followed the procedures both for removal and for upgrade that are posted in the support forums, and neither are effective for me.
I do not have a conventional Firefox icon on my screen, rather I have a grey question mark. When I attempt to deposit that question mark icon in my wastebasket, it just bounces back out.
When I have tried to upgrade to a more recent version of Firefox (and I've been trying to upgrade with each new iteration of Firefox from version 12 to the current version 32), I receive an error message that I can run only one version of Firefox, and the upgraded version is rejected in favor of version 11.
Additionally, Firefox version 11 blocks me from adding any other programs onto my Mac. I want to get rid of version 11. How can I do it?

Dear ideato--Thank you for your suggestion. While I was able to drag a shadow of the Firefox icon from the applications folder to the dock and drop it into the wastebasket, the icon remains in the applications folder and Firefox version 11 is still on my computer blocking every attempt to add a program or to upgrade to the current version of Firefox. The question mark is still on the dock, too. Regards--DavidK126

  • Can I uninstall parallels 5 from a mac book with lion installed

    can I uninstall parallels 5 from a mac book with lion installed

    Just to add to the conversation with some helpful information. 
    Prior to install i was more worried about finding a Quicken replacement than anything (decided on iBank).  I installed Lion and then realized as I was going through my system that Parallel 5 set up for my previous employer.  As suspected, it did not work. So I upgraded Parallels planning to eventually set it up again in the future including reinstalling the version of windows.  When I finally logged on with after the upgrade, all my files, etc. was still there.  Shocking but true.  Double check to see if this occured with any one else.  Good luck.

  • How can I uninstall windows XP from my mac yosemite 10.10

    I am trying to uninstall XP from my mac ( mid 2010) .
    I dont see that option in my bootcamp it says remove Windows 7 .
    Its not even showing install option for windows 7 , please let me know how to remove xp and install Windows 7.

    Two   methods:
    Boot Camp Assistant - after you deal with how Yosemite messed up the partition table for Windows;
    Clone or backup and boot from the other drive - clone or TimeMachine - then erase and restore.
    It modified and messed up Boot Camp partitions and needs some magic to get it to show again. PITA.  Due to how Yosemite handles Windows partition "Boot Camp" you probably have not been able to use it. You also can install Windows, then also use it in a VM and not have to dual boot unless you want - and you have the cpu resources and RAM for both OS's, after you have your new Boot Camp setup with Windows and working. Make sure to allocate enough, generally at least 60 if not 80GB of storage - and leave enough for Mac OS as well.
    Paragon Software's CampTuneX can redistribute space between OS X (HFS+) and Windows "(NTFS) partitions too. And I know they are quick to update to Yosemite, don't know if they have helped in addressing the problem like you are seeing.
    You should have asked on Windows support Community under "Boot Camp" btw.
    Boot Camp
    Once you have Yosemite back to a single HFS+ partition (user partition anyway) you can then use BCA to create a Windows partition to install Windows 7.

  • Can I download an app from the Mac App store without upgrading to Yosemite

    I purchased the Lion upgrade through Apple for my Late 2006 MacBook and was given a redemption code to use in the Mac App store. I cannot open or download the Mac App store without upgrading to Yosemite, which is impossible with my old MacBook. Any help would be appreciated.Thanks

    If for some reason App Store is not showing on your 10.6.8, check Apple logo > about this Mac And the version number.  Anything less than 10.6.6 would explain it.  If that is the case, software update, preferably to the 10.6.8 Combo.
      http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399 It is a big update.

  • HT1338 I need to update my Mac OS X v10.5 to a more recent version. Does anyone know where I would start to do this?

    I have Mac OS X v 10.5.8. I'd like to update to the most recent version that I can, but I do not know where to start? Can anyone help me with this issue?

    Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
    Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    and in the UK:
    http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
    When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
    You should now see the App Store icon, and you now need to set up your account:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4479
    To use iCloud you have to upgrade at least to Lion, but some functions are only available in Mountain Lion:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759
    You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:

  • Can't Uninstall Adobe AIR From a Mac OS X System

    I posted this question on Installation Issues and got no response. It really belongs here.
    I started having major trouble  with my Macbook Pro running OS X 10.6.7, after updating Adobe Flash and  Air. The system is at a crawl, barely useable. I wanted to uninstall both, as a first step in exploring the problem.
    Flash seemed easily uninstalled; there was little improvement, if any.
    However, moving on to Adobe Air, I repeatedly ran the Adobe AIR Uninstaller.app Version 1.5.3 that's in my  Utilities folder but that invariably opened a screen named "Adobe AIR Setup" that told me:
    "Sorry, an error has occurred.
    An  error occurred while installing Adobe AIR. Installation may not be  allowed by your administrator. Please contact your administrator."
    I was not trying to install Adobe AIR, but to uninstall it. I was working in an account with Admin privileges.
    Can anyone help?

    Hi,
    Adobe won't be developing for 10.5.8 new features (including new runtime) only security relates updates for existing runtimes (Flash 10.3.*/Air 2.7.*). Flash 11/Air 3.0 are only supported on 10.6.8.*/10.7.*, see:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/916/cpsid_91694.html#main_system_requirements
    There is recent,  lengthy thread on forums with Adobe's employees statements on that subject (support/development for 10.5.* and newer) but I cannot find it quickly as basically forum search is broken/hard to do,
    regards,
    Peter

  • Is it possible to uninstall IE 11 from Windows Server 2012 R2 and replace it with the latest version of IE 10?

    Is it possible to uninstall IE 11 from Windows Server 2012 R2 and replace it with the latest version of IE 10? We have a remote desktop farm setup with 2012 R2 servers and we are publishing some web links that only work with IE10. As a result, we need to
    downgrade the remote desktop servers to IE10. I have a feeling that this isn't possible, but if I could get a definitive answer, I would greatly appreciate it, thank you!

    Hi,
    Agreed with DonPick.
    Internet Explorer 11 is preinstalled with Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2.

    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    Go to the "File" menu, then "Print." The window that appears will have three drop-down menus at the top.
    The first is labeled "Printer",
    The second is "Presets".
    The third is unlabeled but has "Copies & Pages" selected by default.
    Click on that third menu and select "Firefox" near the bottom of the list.

    thanks

    Your reply is not very easy to read due to the lack of punctuation.
    You have the left-hand sidebar enabled (option-command-S on a Mac), and you've connected and selected the phone on that sidebar and are using the Apps tab on the right-hand side of the screen to select which apps to install e.g. from http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12115
    And clicking 'install' next to the apps that you want to install and then 'apply' at the bottom right of the screen doesn't install them onto your phone ?
