I have a mac 10.6 system when using firefox, I can no longer open attachments or downloads. I deleted firefox and reinstalled and it still doesn't work.

When using firefox, I can no longer open attachments, pdf or downloads. A new window will open and it is blank. The only way to open an attachment or pdf is to shut down firefox and use safari. Everything works with safari so I can't understand what went wrong with firefox. I even download adobe reader thinking that would help. I then deleted my original firefox and re downloaded firefox again. It still doesn't work.
I am using a 10.6 operating system on my Mac.

Try to disable the Adobe Reader plugin in Firefox (Tools > Add-ons > Plugins) and use the external Adobe Reader application or Preview application instead.
*Firefox > Preferences > Applications > Adobe PDF document : Use Adobe Reader
PDF files may also be found under another entry like Portable document.

I can't login to Facebook from the app or on Safari. Is anyone else have this issue? I deleted FB from my iPhone 4 and reinstalled it. Still didn't work.

Make sure you have checked off iCloud contacts in your Contacts app under Groups in upper left corner.

Firefox stopped working on laptop but not desktop, have completely uninstalled and reinstalled but it still won't work, please can anyone help as i hate using IE.

the program was working fine then suddenly wouldn't connect to anything. have unistalled everything including passwords, add-ons etc and reinstalled but still no joy.

Hi kjohns2001,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
If you do not have an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, then you don't need iCloud.
It is a service that keeps these devices and your computer synchronized.
iCloud Control Panel 3.0 for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1455
iCloud keeps mail, contacts, and calendars up to date between your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, and Windows PC, and lets you share calendars and task lists.
So, you can uninstall it from the Control Panel in Windows.
Cheers,
- Judy

When I type in web searches, Firefox remembers them with a system similar to predictive text. How can I erase the search history list, because deleting the history with the organise tool doesn't work. Please help.

When I type in searches I don't want a box to appear under the search box trying to predict what I'm going to type next. Can I disable the system(prediction box) or erase the history list or both?

Thanks for the suggestion, but no effect, when I right click on the search bar all I get is; select all (which does nothing), add keyword to this search (which is the opposite of what I want) and add dictionary (again adding something). Do you have any other ideas? :)

My phone just went black and won't turn on, I have tried pluging it in to the computer and charging it! still doesn't work.

My iPhone 4 wont turn on! Does anyone know how to turn it back on? I have tried plugging it in to the computer and tried to charge it, nothing works!

Did you try any of the reset steps, etc. outlined in some of these forums or pretty much do nothing until it started working again? Also, do you have an iPhone 4 as Sam The AMAZING does?
(I'm desperately grasping straws to figure out whether or not I've exasperated all options and my iPhone is lost forever...)
Thanks, L

I have uninstalled, downloaded latest and installed but it still doesn't work. Why are there still files leftover even after manually removal whatever I could?

I am a Windows 8.1 user. I have followed instructions found online. But still nothing works.
McAfee is still saying Firefox is untrusted and will not run it.
I have managed to delete some folders containing Firefox but there are some still remaining.
Why?
There was never a problem before today.

Hi, [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/uninstall-firefox-from-your-computer this article] will help you to completely remove Firefox.
You should ''only'' download Firefox from [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/ Mozilla.]
If McAfee is still not allowing it, you may need to look at the settings within McAfee.
Hope that helps.

I want to be able to face time also using my ipad2 to my laptop especially if one of the members of the family is traveling. Thanks.

thanks. your answer was correct, clearer. I have another question, maybe you can answer. I just purchase my ipad2 2 days ago. yesterday, there was a sound. today there is no sound. there is a sound only in movies and you tube and music. but no sound on all apps and keyboards. I look it up and seems like ther are few that have this problem. I called walmart coz I bought it there and they told me that they have not heard that before but if I can't fix it, just return it and exchange it with anew one since I have 14 days to do that. I tried rebooting it and still won't work. Should I just restore it?

Does the iphone 4s have voice assisted gps navigation system when ion is downloaded to the phone?

does the iphone 4s have a voice assisted gps system when io6 is downloaded onto the phone?

The iPhone has NEVER had an International Warranty. The warranty terms state, quite clearly, that Apple "may" restrict warranty & support to the country of original purchase. The only exception, are iPhones purchased in the EU, where the iPhone warranty is EU wide.
You purchase an iPhone in Singapore, & you will have to return it to Singapore for all warranty & support issues.
For iPhones out of warranty, Apple has an out of warranty replacement program.

I tried installing windows and something went wrong and now it seems I have erased Mac OS too because when I turn it on, it says Insert bootable device. Now what should I do?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Press Option key on boot and select the OS X partition. If it isn't here, press Command and R keys on boot, open Disk Utility, erase the drive and install Lion or Mountain Lion

When clicking to start Firefox IE starts instead. I have unistalled Firefox and reinstalled and thought I removed IE also but it still opens. I don't know of anything I would have changed or done that would have started the problem.

I have been noticing that when using the computer the mouse keeps going in places where I really do not want and just now select the sentence without I have done anything. Sometimes goes to places like bookmark or open tabs in website when I am reading a page.
Also I have noticed opened windows that I have not opened.
I have verified the sharing folder and also the remote access but it not let me turn it off.
Also I have add a password to my computer and even using the same one it looks like is not working.
The I photo stopped working, Mac Mail does not let me add rules (this is from one day to the other)
The computer is mine, the internet I use is payed by me with a password. I did not give permission to anyone to use my computer or share my files.
In system preferences in the sharing folder is showing everyone and staff.
My computer is private I do not own a company and I do not have a network set up in my house.
I had my photos removed from my computer and even after trying to reinstall I photo and fix the Mac Mail is not working.
I am receiving emails saying that I have sent emails to people that I do not know and including in a time where I am working and not using the computer.
Any suggestions in how to fix this issue?
I really appreciate.

With the multitude of issues you have I would take it to an Apple store or AASP and have them sort it out. Then I would sign up for Apple camp or one on one.

You have SCADS of extensions and the things running. McAfee, Intego, Orbicule, CleanMyMac, and others I've not ever even heard of. My first recommendation would be to remove all of these and see if things improve.

The numeral part of my keyboard causes my mac mini to freeze when using the 0 - 9 keys

The numeral part of my keyboard causes my mac mini to freeze when using the 0 - 9 keys.. I have to restart to continue.
Does it have to do with the disk utility?
I already did the disc repair job

Open System Preferences - Universal Access and check whether 'Mouse Keys' are activated.
If so, then deactivate them. They could be the cause of your problem.

Are there any dialog boxes popping up behind your Yahoo screen?
I have intermittent problems attaching files in Yahoo mail and this is usually the reason. I'm also using an iMac (10.7.3) and this is likely the problem.
It is generally a Yahoo issue rather than a Mac problem.
