I have tried to update Firefox for my Mac (OS 10.6.4 and 10.6.6) and it keeps asking do I want to remove the older version; when I say "yes" it tells me I do not have permissions even though I am the Admin.
I have tried changing the permissions for my hard drive/Account and all files below it but this prevented my Mac from starting; hence, I keep reinstalling the OSX (this is why I am currently on 10.6.4 instead of 10.6.6).
Additionally, even though I keep uninstalling Firefox (throw away the icon and get rid of "org....plist" (except in one user account in which I am not allowed to trash)) the icon always appears in my Dock when I startup (it is a icon with a slashed circle on top of it).
Try doing a clean install.
# Download the Firefox installer from http://www.mozilla.com
# Trash the current Firefox application
# Now try installing the new version of Firefox ([[Installing Firefox on Mac]])
Doing the above will not remove your user data, that is stored elsewhere in the [[profiles|profile folder]], though if you wish you can back that up first
If you are still having problems with privileges see [http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2963?viewlocale=en_US troubleshooting permissions issues in Mac OS X]

My iPod touch is permanently disabled and it says to connect my iPod to my iTunes yet when I do that, it tells me to type in pass code even though it's still disabled. PLEASE HELP ME
I have the same problem with mine... but im trying to find a way to fix it without restoring it...
but one fix is to shut it down completely ... then press and hold BOTH the power button and the home button .. hold both of those 4 ten seconds .. then release the power button but still hold down the home button .. and then it'll show something that says "connect to itunes" once u get it connected to itunes , click the restore button ... BEWARE THIS WILL WIPE OUT EVERYTHING ON YOUR IPOD!!! IT WILL RESTORE IT BACK TO FACTORY SETTINGS , AS IF U JUST BOUGHT IT !!!!! then it should work fine again .. but u will lose all data on there besides the things you have synced with itunes already..
Thats y im iffy with doing this , im trying to find a fix where i wont have 2 restore it but i dont think there is 1 :'(
good luck tho

Wrong! Check out KB Article: Intel-based Macs: Using Apple Hardware Test
Personally, I would not be running no test. Apple has a 90 day warranty on all their repairs. Return your computer to the repair shop but this time.......

I am running an old version of firefox. I downloaded the new version and when it appeared on my desktop to move it to my applications folder there was a circle with a diagonal line through it over the icon. It asks if I want to replace the older version with the newer version, but I hesitate to do that because I am afraid that firefox won't work at all then.
*Firefox 4 versions and later do not run on a PowerPC Mac.
*Firefox 4 and later require at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.
* http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/5.0/system-requirements/
For an unofficial Firefox 4 compatible version (TenFourFox) that runs on PowerPC Macs with OS X 10.4.11 or OS X 10.5.8 you can look at:

Firefox 3.6.x (Mac OS X 10.4 and later) can be found here:

Just what I said before...
If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
* Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded

I really do not know what details you want. When I press on the icon to open Firefox, it opens and Google appears. I go to my bookmarks to my purchasing file. There I click on my bookmarked "Quality Paperbacks" site. I get a big colorful page with a statement that I need to update Firefox. I have followed the directions to update on several different occasions. It appears to download but the next time I try, I get the same thing.
Can you attach a screenshot or link to the instructions you are following?
You are on the 3.6 release and Firefox 7.0.1 is out. You can download and install the latest release from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/ if you would like to update now. The 3.6 version will be maintained for a while longer, but you should update when you can. -

Trying to download firefox for my mac
When it gets to dragging the firefox icon into the applications folder, the icon has a white circle with a diaganol line through it, like a 'no entry' sign. If i drag it in anyway it downloads to the folder but when i try to open it it doesn't work - the error I get is that it is not supported on the system... I have quite an old Mac, think its called a G4, it runs Opera and Safari, but I want Firefox!!
I've had this happen before, if I remember correctly it's just because of a corrupt download. Try downloading the .dmg files again and they should work. The other problem is it may be a permissions error. Where are the files located that you're trying to mount? Try putting them in your home directory. My first guess would be a corrupt download though.
I was suprised to find no information in the support database, or on google for this erorr with disk images.
Hope this helps. -

'''UPDATE: never mind, got it to work.'''
''thanks for reading though!''Hello jaybearden,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you are not able to restore the iOS device since you get an error 9. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
Resolve iOS update and restore errors - Apple Support
Check your security software
Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006. Sometimes security software can prevent your device from communicating with either the Apple update server or with your device.
Check your security software and settings to make sure that they aren't preventing a connection to the Apple servers.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a nice day,

I upgraded my iphone last night on the phone, today I cannot get the computer and the phone to work together. When I click restore iPhone, and my only choice is to restore and upgrade, when it starts the upgrade, it says the phone has not been restored. I did just upgrade the itunes on the computer also.
This may not solve your problem but may clear up a couple of things.
1: Re the connected to wi-fi, plugged in and locked thing is for automatic backups. It doesn't need to be plugged in or locked for it to work when you go to Settings > iCloud > Backup and tap Back Up Now. Mine completes the backup quickly without being plugged in or locking (but I don't have a lot to backup).
2: Locked just means the lock screen is on (press the sleep/wake button on top) -- it will work without a passcode (& again, the lock screen on is only required for the automatic backup).
3: You can see what is using your storage and maybe reduce some of it so that you don't have to pay for storage. Instructions in Manage your iCloud storage - Apple Support -
does anyone know what to do next so I can continue to use the trial versions of cs4. It appears as I have been kicked out for good because I entered the serial number wrong. Spoke to a rep and they said this was not available to purchase online, as it is an older version, but I need the old version to use the halftone option they have on cs4. sure would appreciate some advice, thanks to anyone who might have the answer.
If the trial version is indicating it is no longer available and you need to enter the serial number to activate it then that is the end of the trial version for that machine. If you have another machine then that will be one way of getting the trial version running for another trial period.
