Installed Firefox 4 but wont complete, keep asking me to reboot (have rebooted multiple times)
I downloaded Firefox 4 and it asked me to reboot to complete the installation. I rebooted and when I tried to launch it it keeps asking me to reboot (have done multiple times). I tried to remove the program and start over and when I try and remove the program it asks me to reboot. So, I cant even get rid of it and start over. Ack Help!
I found a dirty solution for this problem:
# I deleted the Firefox folder in Program Files (the profile is not in this folder so I keep all my bookmarks, passwords,...)
# I re-installed Firefox 4
Now Firefox 4 works well without rebooting the computer.

Question
After installing firefox 17.1 it will ask intermittanly ask to restart comptuer to complete upgrade. How do I fix this . I have already tried uninstall/reinstall . I have deleted the mozilla folder out of C:\. I have made sure plug ins are up to date. Security is not blocking mozilla.Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox and any leftover program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps one by one:
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu) and confirm all upcoming messages.
#Now, uninstall Firefox by following the steps mentioned in the [[Uninstall Firefox from your computer#w_uninstall-firefox|Uninstall Firefox]] article.
'''IMPORTANT:''' On Windows, the uninstaller has the option to remove your personal data and settings. Make sure that you do '''not''' check this option; otherwise all of your bookmarks, passwords, extensions, user customizations and other Firefox [[Profiles|user profile data]] will be removed from your computer.
After uninstalling Firefox on Windows, delete the "Mozilla Firefox" program folder, located by default in one of these locations:
* '''(On 32-bit Windows)''' ''C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox''
* '''(On 64-bit Windows)''' ''C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox''
#Go to the Windows Start menu and click on "Computer".
#In the Explorer window that opens, double click Local Disk (C:) to open the C:\ drive.
#Find the "Program Files (x86)" folder or "Program Files" folder.
#* On 32-bit Windows, double-click the '''Program Files''' folder to open it.
#* On 64-bit Windows, you will see a "Program Files (x86)" folder AND a "Program Files" folder. Open the '''Program Files (x86)''' folder.
#Look for a '''Mozilla Firefox''' folder. If you find one, right-click it and select ''Delete'' and confirm that you want to move the folder to the Recycle Bin.
Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
#Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
#Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.

I have tried to download iOS7 but the iTunes keep asking me to upgrade iTunes version 11.5 and my one is 11.5 so when I clicked it says no update available. Could you please help me? many thanks.
Hi bodeboni!
You will probably want to download the newest version of iTunes (iTunes 11.1) directly from Apple and install it on your computer if you are having issues updating. The link for the download can be found here:
Apple - iTunes - Download iTunes Now
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

Tried to install Firefox but an error message "Extraction failed - cannot open output file" always pops up, without a reason. Why's this happening?
Try to disable your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes it work.
You may need to delete the temp folder (%TEMP%) to remove the old files. -
New hard drive installed in Mac. iTunes keeps asking to authorize a very old email address which is not associated with my iPhone and I cannot sync iTunes to my iPhone.
It is referring to purchases made using an Apple ID that was set with that email as the Apple ID. Did you simply create a new Apple ID when the old email address was no longer being used? If so, then that old Apple ID is still tied (and will always be tied) to the purchases made with it, and you will have to sign into iTunes with that Apple ID in order to authorize the computer to it.
If you don't remember the password for it, you can go to Manage your Apple ID and click on Reset password. If you don't remember the answers to your Security Questions, you can contact Apple Support to get them reset:

HT204053 I have an iTunes (Apple) id but the iCloud keeps asking me to sign in...
I have an iTunes (Apple) id that works fine but the iCloud keeps asking me to sign in and then says that the password is incorrect when I know it isn't. Have tried a password reset that works for everything else (App Store, iTunes etc) but iCloud still won't accept it. Any ideas?
You would have to access http://appleid.apple.com to find the email address but as you've reset the password you can't get into that. You will have to contact Support: the iTunes Store is probably the best place to start. Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; select 'iTunes' in the first column and then 'iTunes Store' in the second column.

I have installed Firefox but when I click on the icon, nothing happens.
I have just downloaded and installed firefox, but when I click on the icon nothing happens.
In case you haven't solved this by now...
Sometimes your security software will block new programs from accessing the internet. Are you getting any alerts along those lines?
Sometimes Firefox will stall during startup and never display its window. In that case, you may need to manually "kill" the firefox.exe process using the Windows Task Manager before trying to start Firefox again.
You can display the Task Manager by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Esc. Windows 8.1 has a different display than Windows 7, so I have to go by memory. If you see a tab named Applications, check that one first. Then check Processes, and finally check Details. If you find Firefox or firefox.exe on any of those tabs, select it and End Process (or other action to shut it down).
After you are done with the Task Manager, try starting Firefox up again.

Firefox 14.0.1 keeps asking for extra plugins
Firefox 14.0.1 keeps asking for extra plugins in every page even the start page on blank, and no plugin or extension is found necessary when the message is clicked. So what should I do now?
Hi,
Please try the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/reset-firefox-easily-fix-most-problems Reset Firefox] feature via '''Help''' ('''Alt''' + '''H''') > '''Troubleshooting Information'''.
(To revert to the previous profile you were using, close the new profile (i.e. exit Firefox), start Firefox and choose the '''Default User''' profile. While the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles Profile Manager] is open, you can also delete the newly reset profile (the one containing random numbers), or the former profile, as the case may be). If the reset is okay, it would be a good idea to delete the old profile as otherwise it would be left intact with the previous data/cache until deleted.
