I tried to update firefox secuity this morning and got stuck with Voseran off of Mozilla site
I went directly to Mozilla to update Firefox security settings and ended up getting the Vosteran Browser. I am pretty tech savvy and watched very closely all the stuff it was doing and never saw it coming until I rebooted and there it was. I have taken all the steps to get it removed , even removed Firefox for now. But you may want to look into this.
It is very frustrating , I am using the paid version of AVG Ultimate ant virus and it still got by that.

Firefox any version for Windows, Mac OSX and Linux from mozilla.org or by update in Firefox does not come with anything "Vosteran" related.
Just because you see it in Firefox does not equal it must have came with Firefox from Mozilla.
Firefox is however becoming one of the increasingly few applications that is not bundled with any thing questionable like other apps, adware, malware, viruses, trojans etc.
Are you sure it was from mozilla.org as because if you went to a site from a search engine result it could have been a Ad link above the real search results like you can see on Google or Bing for example.
Also download .com aka cnet is a known adware site as they use their own installer to bundle stuff with otherwise what was clean software.
Also if it were true that Vosteran anything was included in Firefox then it would be a hot topic here, at mozillazine forums and tech sites around as anything negative about Firefox or Mozilla tends to get talked about A Lot sadly.

I tried to update my phone this morning, and now it is stuck on a black screen with an apple in the middle.
Press the Power button and hold it down until the computer turns off. Restart. Do you still get the same result? If so, then try booting into Safe Mode, then restart normally. A safe mode startup takes considerably longer than a normal one, so don't panic. You will also see a progress bar at the beginning.

I tried to Update my Itunes this morning and I now get Runtime Error R6034
I have tried to Upgrade Itunes this morning and all I am getting now is Runtime Error R6034 can Anyone Help ??
Am assuming that the upgrade didn't complete which was what happened to me and that now you get this message everytime you start Windows. I use Windows7
Apple has published a fix at http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3074.
In it they suggest the issue may be caused by a bad installation of a version of Microsoft's .NET Framework.
Find this somewhat preposterous for the simple reason that all was well until the attempt to load the new upgrade of iTunes. For Apple's suggestion to hold true it can only mean that none of my other applications make any use of MS.NET Framework, which I very much doubt.
Performed the fix for Windows7 prescribed by Apple, namely downloaded and ran Microsoft's .NET Framework taking the 'Repair' option when prompted. When Repair completed successfully you have to shut down and restart Windows to make the repaired software available. Did this and on restart lo and behold the R6034 message appeared again.
Did a search of the Registry for 'R6034' but not found.
Being unsure what was issuing the message deleted iTunes and restarted the system.
Again lo and behold the R6034 message appeared again.
Had been away from my computer for several weeks, and as the only upgrade actioned since my return was the problem iTunes carried out a Sydney Restore. This got rid of the R6034 message, everything worked fine, and when I shut down Microsoft automatically reinstalled all its upgrades after the Restore point.
Then moved to put back the iTunes upgrade prior to the current one, and ITunes stopped me in my tracks by halting the reinstall because "A later version of the program had been installed".
Appreciate that this doesn't do much for you Barry, but as I see the iTunes upgrade as the problem, I'm hoping firstly that someone from iTunes will read this and firstly, provide more support than it has to date, and secondly, for those who want to pass up on the upgrade allow them to reinstall the previous version of ITunes.
Cheers. -
I updated my itunes this morning, and now I keep getting an error message when trying to burn a disc. Any ideas how to resolve this?
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

i was trying to update my iphone 5 but it got stuck on itune screen. whenever i try to restore it says error (1669) what can i do. please help
Try these troubleshooting steps.
If that Article did not resolve it... then perhaps a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is required..
Be sure to make an appointment first...
Note:
That error message may be indicative of the Device being Hacked / jailbroken.... If this is the case then you are on your own.

I went to update CC desktop this morning and it crashed.
My CC desktop craned after trying to install an update this morning and now will not install . Gets part way then crashes again and asks me to reinstall .
Hi Onechobeach,
If you navigate to: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE
And Rename the OOBE folder (Make sure there is nothing running from the Creative Cloud Desktop App)
Then you can try to Redownload the Creative Cloud desktop app, and see if the installation now continues.

I have tried to download icloud to my PC and amstuck with a message saying I must update my Outlook Default Profile. How ?
You can not setup a new iCloud account using a PC. You must use an Apple device (Mac or iPhone/iPad) to create the account, then sign into it using your PC.

I followed these directions posted by Pilates-Contrology. His/her tips seemed to work for everyone else.
Any ideas?
Did you try this? Found this in several places and it works for me
1. Quit iTunes.
2. Start an elevated command prompt (Start Menu -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Right Click "Command Prompt" -> "Run as Administrator")
3. Once in the command prompt, type "netsh winsock reset" and hit ENTER.
4. Reboot your machine.
5. Restart iTunes.

5. Restart iTunes.Oddly, I've now fiddled with it a bit more, and I can manage to get the Apple logo up for a short time, but if I let go of the hold button it cuts out again.
If I continue to hold it, the logo turns into connect to iTunes. I do this, no response from iTunes. -
My phone is plugged in and the screen shows the power cord connector and arrow and the iTunes logo. I have made sure the plug is in and power on. Touching the screen does nothing. I have turned it off and back on I get an apple pic then back to the iTunes logo pic, arrow and plug....
I installed new update and have had the connect to iTunes all day. I got home connected to iTunes and it said my phone couldn't be updated it needed restored to factory settings. I was reluctant to lose everything so I ignored this and clicked update. After it installed it said to restore again. Again I ignored it and this time it updated my phone and my phone turned back on with everything there.
So glad I ignored the previous messages asking me to restore! You could try this if you have iTunes and don't want it restored to factory settings. -
Attempting to update Iphone. It gave me a picture that looks like it wants me to attatch the phone to the computer with my itunes. Noe itunes is tellime me my phone is in recovery mode and wants me to restore my phone before it can be used with itunes. should i do this? will I loose all my pictures/contacts/songs?
You don't have a choice. Anything that was on the phone is already gone. hopefully, you've been backing up on a regular basis. If you had iCloud backups turned on, the backups should be automatic.
