I want to roll ff back to 3.0, 4.0 and up is taking up to much space to run. since i have updated to 5.0 the problem is killing my laptop and i liked how well 3.0 ran, it didnt max out my cpu like 4.0 and up does.

firefox is using up to 90% of my PCU on my laptop. I spend more time twiddling my thumbs waiting for things to load or i watch my laptop crash from over heating. I did not have this problem with 3.0 and would like to go back to it, how do I roll back firefox to 3.0 so my laptop doesnt burn up ? i run vista on my laptop.

In case your Firefox profile became damaged during the upgrade, or add-on is causing the problem, you could test whether a new blank Firefox profile cures those ills.
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, close Firefox and fire up the profile manager to create a new profile: [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Managing+profiles Managing profiles].
If that tests out, you can import your bookmarks and move your saved passwords over from your problem profile to the new profile. [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Recovering+important+data+from+an+old+profile Recovering important data from an old profile].
If that fails, here's the process to roll back:
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, download and save Firefox 3.6 to your desktop for future installation. http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older
Close Firefox 5.
You could install Firefox 3.6 over it (many have reported success) or you could uninstall Firefox first. If you uninstall, do not remove your personal data and settings, just the program.
Unless you have installed an incompatible add-on, Firefox 3.6 should pick up where you left off. If there are serious issues, please post back with details.
Note: I haven't actually tried this myself!

TS4223 I can not recover my download music back on my phone since I have updated my phone to the 4s and it was not save on I clouds before I updated my phone is it anyway I can get my brought music back?

I'm tryin to re-store all of my download music from iTunes store that I have purchase off my iPhone now since I have update my phone but nothing on my phone was backed up in I cloud so can I retrieve all my music back?

You can re-download your purchased music (and other media) again for free, either in iTunes or on your phone (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519). Music from other sources, however, should already be in your iTunes library and can be synced back to your phone. If it wasn't, then you will have to re-import it to iTunes (such as by re-ripping your CDs) first.

How do I remove/delete the loops I've downloaded? I don't use them and they are taking up too much space on my hard drive.

I wanted to see what was in the loops folders but now will never use them and I need the space.

Yes, I am logged in as the administrator. When I drag a loop to the trash it does nothing. The trash doesn't recoginize the item as trash and doesn't pop up and say trash like it does when I drag items from other programs to the trash.

Why is my "Documents and Data" section taking up so much space on my iPhone?

Before I updated my iPhone to iOS7, my "Other" section was giant, taking up over 4 GB! After I updated, the section split into "Other" and "Documents and Data". My "Other" section is under control now, but my "Documents and Data" section has over 3 GB, and I can't figure out why. I deleted many, many texts and it hardly changed the usage in this section. I've searched all over Google and Apple and can't seem to find a solution.
I don't even know what this space is used for. What falls under the usage of "Documents and Data"?
And how can I minimize this usage?!
Someone please help!
Thanks!!

According to Apple at the time to the iOS launch, it was confirmed that the iOS 8 in iPhone 6 will consume maximum 3GB of space.
So its actually the iOS 8 and the system files that has been categorized in the OTHER section using 2.83GB of space.

Return the iPhone and get your money back. It has been
hacked/modified/jailbroken and likely cannot be made

I do not have many messages but my iphone 5s says messages take up 4.6GB of space. When comparing with friends who have many more message, less than 1 GB is being used on their phones. Why are mine taking up so much space and how do I correct that?

I do not have that many messages on my new iPhone 5s (maybe about 15 conversations and only one or two going back a little ways) yet when I go to Settings, Usage it shows that my messages are taking up 4.6GB of space. When comparing with others (some who have hundeds of messages) they are using under 1GB for their messages. Why are mine taking up so much space??

I found a post with this solution that worked for me - .Do a backup, then download ibackupbot. It lets you look into the contents of that backup. Look in system files>mediadomain>library>sms>attachments. I found a ton of huge files related to long deleted texts. ibackupbot let me delete all that old crap. I then restored the phone with that now modifec backup and Bingo! freed up 9 GB. No problems.
But note, if you are not technically inclined you probaly don't want to be digging around and deleting back up files. You delete the wrong thing and you could jack up your phone badly. Be careful.

Why is my iMovie taking up so much space and how can I get my data back?

For some reason, unknown to me, my imovie app is taking up 6.5GB of my data. I have three, small (less than five minute) videos and I am wondering how to get rid of whatever is taking up so much space and what could possibly be filling up my ipad. It is strange because a four hour movie takes up only 3GB and fifteen minutes of video takes up over 6. Something is definitely not right. I just want to know how to get rid of whatever is taking up so much data while keeping my files in tact.

Had the same problem and read a few posts. Easiest fix is delete and reinstall imovie. Clears out all the data that imovie takes up by recreating temp files which you can't seem to delete when you upload videos to YouTube

Since I have updated to Firefox version 5, my Firefox browser just hangs when I am logged in to my laptop without Admin privilege. If I am logged into my laptop as Admin then Firefox is working well is this a known issue.

Since I have updated to Firefox version 5, I cannot use Firefox on my laptop as a normal user without Admin privilege. Whenever I try to run Firefox, the browser window just says connecting and hangs. It looks like it also uses all the CPU and stops all other processes on the computer. Even the computer clock stops working.
If I am logged into my laptop as Admin then Firefox works well as it used to with previous versions. I am using Windows XP service pack 3.

Hi Tylerdowner -
Thanks for your suggestion.
I already tried a Reset, but all that did was lose all my settings , search engines etc. and one or two add-ons - as expected.
I also already tried updating my graphics driver - both manually, and with Windows Update (Automatic Updates is set to ON anyway, and I've checked the optional ones as well, and though there was nothing relevant there, I installed most of them anyway!) Apparently I'm using the most up-to-date and appropriate driver already!
Oh dear........
Going to try turning off hardware acceleration next....

I somehow managed to add lines on my master slide and can't get rid of them. I now have a useless rectangle on the left half of many of my slides. How do I remove this?

Select the master slide,
copy any objects you want to keep,
Select all, (command A), and press delete key.
Paste back the items to retain (Command V)

My iPod touch isn't being recognized by my pc. The lock button on it won't work due to water damage, and a friend of mine fixed the problem by restoring it on his computer. How do I restore it without the lock button?

first try:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
next
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I Don't know if I can turn it of or do I just leave it and take it to service?
I'd appreciate some advice!

Same thing happened here ~ tech guy at a local authorized Apple repair store said it had something to do with improper backup from which the restore would be made. Still have a phone that asks to be connected to Itunes but won't do anything else . . . frustrated.
