Add-Ons Page Does Not Recognize that I Am Using Firefox

I am trying to add the YouTube Search Engine to my search-bar, and when I go to the page to add it, The page gives me an error, "Error - you must be using a Mozilla-based web-browser (such as Firefox) to use this add-on." Really?

Of course, *this* part of the site seems convinced that I'm using Firefox.

This issue can be caused by an extension that <strike>isn't</strike> is preventing this from working properly. ''(sorry for the confusion)''
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

Some webpages, like You Tube, and firefox add-ons pages, do not recognize my firefox version, and require me to update firefox. Why?

Youtube reports that:
Your browser is no longer supported.
Please upgrade to a modern browser.

It looks like you are using an older version that isn't supported by some websites any longer - 2.0.0.11. What version do you think you have installed?

My computer no longer recognizes my iPod Touch. And the iPod Touch does not recognize that it is connected to a computer.

My computer no longer recognizes my iPod Touch. And the iPod Touch does not recognize that it is connected to a computer. It has worked great for many days until today.
I’ve tried two different Apple cables.
I’ve tried different USB ports on the computer.
I have rebooted both the Mac and the iPod.
I’ve wiggled the cables and checked for dust in the connectors.
The iPod charges using this same cable connected to wall wart. That’s a good sign.
Both the Mac and iPod seem to work fine separate from each other. They just won’t talk anymore.
Mac mini
1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo
OS 10.4.11
iTunes 9.2.1
iPod Touch 32GB, version 3.1.3 (7E18), model PB533LL

I found this possible solution on another support thread, so I tried it.
turn off iPod
hold Sleep and Home buttons to start it.
When Apple appears, let go of Sleep button, but keep holding Home button.
When screen goes blank, let go of Home button.
Connect cable and check iTunes to see if it has conencted.
This did not work for me.
I then turned off the iPod, restarted the Mac, and restarted the iPod normally.
I connected them with the cable, and it works like normal. :-)

HT3819 My iPad will not allow me to type in my password. Curser is blinking but what i begin typing it just does not recognize that i am printing

Is there any process I can use to allow me to type into my iPad my password. When I open up the device it sets itself up for me to type in my password. The cursor is blinking, the key pad comes up but it does not recognize that I am typing in the password. The cursor remains in the same position. However it will still play a sideshow of my photos, play music but I cant get into the iPad to operate it to get emails, or operate Safari etc. Is there any thing I can do other than take it to a technician? .

Aperture does not recognize that there are images to be imported on an SD card. My workaround is to copy the images from the ST card to a folder and then import the images from the folder. Aperture also imports incredibly slowly after the update to 3.4

Aperture does not recognize that there are images to be imported on an SD card. My workaround is to copy the images from the SD card to a folder and then import the images from the folder. Aperture also imports incredibly slowly after the update to 3.4

Check your Import settings in the Import Panel, i.e. all that might exclude the image type you want to import:
If you did not exclude any file types, and still Aperture will not import, remove your ImageCapture preferences fro your user library:
To remove the image capture preferences:
If Aperture is running, quit Aperture, and log off and on again.
Open your user library from the Finder's Go menu: Hit Command Shift G (⌘⇧G) and then type in: ~/Library/Preferences/ then hit return.
In the window that opens remove "com.apple.ImageCapture.plist"
and look into the subfolder "ByHost": if there are files named com.apple.ImageCapture something .plist remove them too.
then try again.
And if that still does not help, remove the Aperture preferences as well:
~/Library/Preferences/aperture.plist
Regards
Léonie
P.S. in MacOS Lion and later the user library ~/Library is hidden by default.
You can reveal it also from the Finder's "Go" menu:
Finder > Go, then hold down the options ⌥ key, until the Library appears in the drop-down menu, select it and open the Library folder. Then go to the "Preferences".

Lightroom 5 apparently does not recognize that Photoshop is installed.

I just installed Lightroom 5, and it does not seem to recognize Photoshop CS5.1, which has been installed for some time. When I click Photo>Edit In, the option for Photoshop and all of the other related Photoshop options, such as Merge to Panorama, etc., are not active, so clicking on them does nothing. This occurs when Photoshop is open. It's as if Photoshop is not installed. Is there something I need to do to ensure that Lightroom 5 recognizes that Photoshop is installed?
I'm not sure whether the problem is that Lightroom does not recognize that Photoshop is installed or that there is some problem that prevents access to Photoshop from Lightroom.
I am using Windows 7. In Preferences for external editing, I have the following settings: File Format = TIFF; Color Space = ProPhotoRGB; Bit Depth = 16 bits; Resolution = 240; Compression = None.

I guess that the problem could be caused by 32bit and 64bit mismatch. Both applications should be 32bit or both should be 64bit.

I cannot access my linkedin profile anymore; it does not recognize that I have an account while in Explorer this problem does not occur.

When I tried to open my LinkedIn-profile it does not connect me anymore to my profile. I cannot login with my e-mailaddress and password. LinkedIn does not recognize that I have an account. When I try the same with Explorer this problem does not occur and I can access my profile without any problem.

GO to appleid.apple.com, click on manage my account and click on security. Answer your security questions to be able to edit your rescue email. If you forget the answers to your security questions, call apple support and request to be connected to a senior adviser or security who can reset your rescue email

My internet accounts preference does not recognize that I have deleted an email address. It wants to connect to deleted email to send out, HELP

My email internet accounts does not recognize that I have deleted an gmail account. It wants to connect before it sends a message. How do I change this? I thought I changed all my settings to reflect my new mail address - but I must have missed one.

That was a bit of a bonehead move. Did you actually change the email address associated with the Apple ID before deleting the email account?

That's another bad idea.

Yeah, because the email associated with the Apple ID is deleted and the account is having issue.
Stop using the new Apple ID.
Log into the original Apple ID. Change the email address associated with the Apple ID.
It should then be possible to update the apps associated with the original Apple ID.

visard229,
Numerous Apple support articles state that "Mac OS X v10.6.4 Snow Leopard is recommended for all users."
Why do you think that 10.6.3 will work with the MobileMe calendar?

Itunes does not recognize my iPod Touch using Windows 7 - 64bit

Itunes does not recognize my iPod Touch using Windows 7 - 64bit. Is this a driver issue? Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a fix?
Message was edited by: Mark DiGiacomo

hi sally,
see if this user tip by Yorkwill helps:
+In the end what works is to just force the drivers on what windows thinks is a camera, i.e. to ‘update’ the device to use the correct driver. There are some hints on how to do this already listed on this forum, but I’ll try to give some more detailed information:+
+1. First off you need to have iTunes installed and the ipod touch plugged in+
+and recognized as ‘something’ e.g. digital camera (it shouldn’t really+
+matter what it’s recognized as, but it needs to be found by windows).+
+2. Search for usbaapl in the C:\WINDOWS system folder:+
+o open windows explorer (e.g. Right-click Start and then click ‘explore’)+
+o right-click the WINDOWS folder and select ‘Search’).+
+o type in usbaapl and hit Search – try to ignore the dog!+
+You should find the driver info in a sub folder of+
+C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRVSTORE e.g. C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRVSTORE\usbaapl_A65621D65F5B7507DD7B22331826547BDD2D206B+
+Remember that location (either leave the search box open or copy the folder+
+name into note pad – you’ll need it later)+
+If you don’t find usbaapl.sys, usbaapl.inf etc. then your drivers have not+
+been installed with the iTunes install and you’ll have to reinstall iTunes.+
+3. Locate the ipod-camera device:+
+o Open the device manager, e.g. using Start > Control Panel >+
+Performance and Maintenance > System > Hardware Tab > Device Manager+
+o Look for a device called ‘ipod’ - if your ipod shows up as+
+‘digital camera’ it will be under something like ‘imaging devices’.+
+4. Update the driver:+
+o Right click the ‘ipod-camera’ in device manager and click on+
+‘Update Driver’ – the Hardware Update Wizard will open.+
+o Check the ‘Install from a list or specific location’ then click ‘Next’+
+o Check ‘Search for the best driver in these locations’. Un-check+
+‘Search removable media’ and check ‘Include this location in the search’.+
+In the text box below type (or better copy and paste) the folder+
+containing the ipod driver information found in step 1 (in the example+
+above it was C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRVSTORE\usbaapl_A65621D65F5B7507DD7B22331826547BDD2D206B), +
+then click Next.+
+You should now see something like ‘Apple ipod device driver’ or so. Continue+
+installing that device. Once the driver has been installed the ipod will come+
+to life and iTunes (if you have it open) will show it.+

I'm getting this message: "Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page." but unchecking the box for "warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page" has not helped. I'm using Firefox 3.6.3 on Mac OS 10.6.3. M'aidez

Can't load Google Calendar.

I'm using Firefox 3.6.3 on Mac OS 10.6.3. It's not reported as a generalised problem in Dashboard.

Facebook and add-on page does not open stuck in a infinet loop

I am able to use other ssl enabled sites like gmail from Firefox, but when I try to login to Facebook after the first page, It does not open. Have tried all the troubleshooting steps suggested for Facebook errors and https errors, no luck.
I get stuck in an infinite loop on the next page. This is the security page which asks to setup a machine name.. (https://www.facebook.com/loginnotify/setup_machine.php?next)
Please note there is no error displayed, the page just loops endlessly and does not display the Box which should ask me to set the device name for Facebook.
The same thing happens when I try the Add -ons page via the Tools menu. I am able to use Facebook in Chrome on the same system system.
Willing to work with the community to resolve this. Can also provide Wire shark dumps if required. Thank you for your time. Hope this gets resolved soon.

Hi Matthew,
Thank you for your question, I am sorry of the challenge as you have been at it for a while. [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/988977] pazos comment had a particular step to clear the cache after applying the update. I followed the mozilla hacks comments as well and saw you were in a loop after
There was a follow up redit post that was successful from updating to 1.0, then to 1.1 with the update.zip then to 1.2 [http://www.reddit.com/r/FireFoxOS/comments/1xvq2w/how_i_got_12_working_on_zte_open/]
Did these instructions help?

Firefox 10 Add-Ons Manager does not open in a tab

In later versions of Firefox 9 and now Firefox 10, the "Add-Ons Manager" refuses to open in a tab. Instead, it opens as a window with no border that will not move and cannot be moved or closed except by closing it from the Start Bar at the bottom of the screen.
This occurs on 2 separate PCs, one running Vista, one running XP.
I know it should open as a Tab, but I see no way to do this.
Do I need to change some setting to get it to open properly?
Thanks,
Ken West

updates 9 and 10 have caused me problems as well with add ons and the extra tab appearing welcoming me to firefox.
With update 10 all my add ons disappeared.. upon going to tools /add ons I found half my add ons were incompatable and the others were closed! I just opened them again and all was fine. Luckily the add ons I use often were still compatable.
The other option is to just add them again if they are compatible.. if not you can get around it by googling and comming up with a solution there somewhere.. One I use a lot is download helper and I had to do this about 3 versions ago to get it running.
There could be a solution in Help/trouble shooting and looking at extensions.. your add ons should be listed there and all be True..
If not you will most probably have to open Containing folder in top block and do something there.. Not sure what but will leave it up to the experts..
Seriously it would most probably be quicker to reinstal you add ons.
