after I received the error message, i uninstalled and then re-installed mozilla firefox. my desktop now has a mozilla firefox icon and a separate folder entitled: old firefox data. i tried a solution posted at the site:

Hello poestirs3
press Windows key + R to open the Run box of windows Vista, then type '''%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox''' (or copied from here) and click "'''OK'''" to quickly open the appropriate folder,
then find [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profiles.ini_file profiles.ini file] (see the screenshot how possible looks like) and rename it (right-click on mouse and select rename) to profiles.iniOLD , then when you start firefox again, a new default profile folder will be created and only a single profile, the new "default", will be listed in the Profile Manager.
This new "default" profile doesn't contain any of the profile data or settings stored in your old "default" profile folder, which still exists but is no longer accessible from the Profile Manager.
Your existing Firefox user profile data, which includes bookmarks, passwords, cookies, preference settings and added extensions, will no longer appear in the new profile but you [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox can transfer the data from the old profile folder to the new default profile folder].

I'm using an earlier version of Firefox (v. 3.6.18), downloaded the add-on but it will not open. I received a error message saying safari can't open "firefox_sync-1.7-sm+fn+fx.xpi" because no available application can open it.

You cannot run Photoshop CS on a new Intel-based Mac running OS X Mavericks. CS is far too old.
You'll have to buy Photoshop CS6 or Photoshop Elements 12. Or subscribe to CC.

When I try to open iPhoto I get the error message "The library "iPhoto Library" cannot be opened.

When I try to open iPhoto I get the error message "The library "iPhoto Library" cannot be opened. To open it, you must upgrade to the latest version of IPhoto." But the app store says that the latest version is installed.
I just migrated from 2011 macbook to new 2014 macbook with Yosemite on it.

Any help much appreciated.

There is a framework missing in your System library. You need to reinstall MacOS X to restore the dynamic library:

How are you launching iPhoto? From your Dock? The Dock icon may still be linked to an older iPhoto version. Just to be sure, you are opening really iPhoto 9.6, launch iPhoto by double-clicking the iPhoto icon in your applications folder. Your crash log with the the "Library not found" error message should show the version number of iPhoto. Which version is it showing?

Found the solution. The hardrive name was changed to "/" which is not a recognised file path character. So I changed the name to "Mac" then I was able to already open all files in excel and word

Cannot open any photos/movies in Entourage, message comes up saying 'folder cannot be found'. Last week I deleted lots of old documents/downlods and fear that I have accidentally deleted file that opens photos/movies.....any suggestions???

I cannot open any photos/movies in Entourage, message comes up saying 'folder cannot be found'. Last week I deleted lots of old documents/downloads and fear that I have accidentally deleted what is needed to open photos/movies. Any suggestions please? Should re-install the whole Office:mac program, and is it easy to do this without disturbing what I have on my computer?

When you password-protected these folders then you did so to prevent anyone from accessing the pictures unless he had the correct password, even if he deleted the password application itself. Are you now asking how to get around this protection? If you
selected a robust protection scheme then you probably got what you wanted: uncrackable encryption. You need to check the FAQs of this application and/or google for clues. Alternatively you could restore your files from your external backup medium (if you have
one . . .).

Cannot reacquire firefox. error message reads "your firefox profile cannot be loaded. it may be missing or inaccessible.

I lost Firefox for no apparent reason. I deleted the program and attempted to reinstall and download. Received an error message that read "Your firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible." At the same time, I lost Picasa and all my photos. When I tried to reinstall Picasa, I received the same message about Firefox. Can someone please help. It's driving me nuts.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

Hello and welcome to the forums;
Our phone support is open every day Monday through Sunday, although there are different hours of operation for the weekend. If after a webOS Doctor reset you are still experiencing the same problems, I would likely recommend replacement, either in a local store for your carrier or through our technical support department.
There may be additional technical support offered or suggested over the phone, this would need to be done first before a replacement could be issued.
Hope this helps,

I am receiving an error message when updating itunes - now won't load?

Somehow my Itunes update was interrupted a few days ago and now I am receiving an error message "Error 7 Windows 126" and MSVCR80.dll was not found and need reinstallation. Thanks

Try the following user tip:
Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates
Fo the reinstall, use a fresh copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file downloaded from the Apple website. (Delete any versions of the installer file that you currently have in your downloads areas.)

I downloaded, installed Firefox and when I try to open it i receive the error message Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible."

I have read through the various post / solutions. I can nopt find the profile file on my hard drive. Up until a month or so ago was able to use Firefox on this machine. Now not.
How can I solve this problem?

I can not find any of the files you address.
I am tying to install Firefox for the first time. SO, if that is the case, how can any of these various files exist? I cannot access the contents of my "Application support" folder.
I have tried to delete Firefox and start over, and the same error message comes up.
I guess my frustration is how can I have a profile if I do not have Firefox installed?

Cannot open files in illustrator - no error message, just the spinning wheel endlessly rotating!

I worked on lots of very simple illustrator files yesterday and saved them all as .ai files. Today, I started up my mac and I cannot open a single file that I worked on yesterday. I don't get any error messages, the coloured wheel just spins endlessly and the files don't open, or with some files the artwork opens up so I can see it but the wheel is still spinning so I can't actually do anything. Even if I leave it, for up to an hour, the wheel doesn't stop. I have been able to open files that were not worked on yesterday, no problem.
I have shut down and re-started the computer 4 times now, but it hasn't improved the situation.
Does anyone know what is wrong?
Thanks

You may be linked to an image (of auto opening font)that went corrupt, is there a comon image between them. If so put that image temporarily in a folder to break the link.
Try making a new user account, or opening on another computer if you can. How do the file size look on the document, are the the size they are supposed to be?
Try resettting your preferences. Cmd-Opt-Ctrl-Shift when restarting AI on a Mac or Alt-Crtl-Shift on a PC to reset to the defaults.
Is the problem definitely associated to them being on the same date, or is the similarity possibly a job with similar fonts/images?
