An old 3.5 version is installed not shown in "add Reamove" and won't be updated. How do I

When I start FF I get a warning it is out of date and not secure. I have tried many "updates" but they do not replace the "operating" version. Via "Help" it shows me running V7.
I have been onto the forum and was told:
First off, the browser you used to post here says it is Firefox 3.5, not Firefox 5.0, you need to fix that.
Your UserAgent string in Firefox is messed up by a FBSMTWB add-on - probably related to Facebook-something
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Agent
type about:config in the URL bar and hit Enter
If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.
Filter = general.useragent.
Right-click the preferences that are bold, one line at a time, and select Reset.
Then restart Firefox
I looked at this but there are literally many hundreds of lines. With my eyesight, trying to get it right is likely to cause more problems. I have spent hours trying to sort this. Please help, I HATE IE. Thanks Ian

  • Newly installed GB 11 - LOOPS ARE GONE and won't download updates

    i just installed GB 11 and tried to open files. virtually all my loops are grayed out. "The software instrument or loop is not currently installed on your computer - would you like to install the complete set of loops on your computer?" i click "Download Now". it tells me to check software update but nothing shows up in soft. update. i've tried restarting and opening other files but my loops are gone.
    did i just lose all my loops?

    Right on, Pbassjams. my sentiments exactly! that's the same response they told me at the apple store. and you go home and load the disc and say to yourself: "What the **** are they talking about? there are no loop options". i did find out however that you can go into your HD library folder - then open Audio folder and then you'll see apple loops. you can actually select all the loops in there and manually DRAG and DROP them into your loops section in GB. this may solve the problem or you could have a new annoying problem. you'll have each loop listed twice. if that's the case, here's what another apple user wrote in discussions:
    This sounds like a problem with several generations of GB content mixed in your loops folder.
    Apple at one point in time changed the loops from .aif to .caf. So you definitively need only one version of each loop, it'll save you a lot of disk space to delete the duplicates. So I would proceed like this:
    • Clean up your loops in the Finder by deleting the .aif versions of loops that you also have as .caf. (Sort the folder by kind, that should separate them.)
    • Delete the Loops Index folder completely.
    • Start up GB, it'll tell you you have no loops.
    • Drag your purged Loops folder into the Loop Browser window, GB will now create a new Loops index that will only contain the ones that are actually in that folder.

  • IBooks says that my book is not in the correct format and won't open. How do I get a refund for 30$ worth of books I just bought that won't open?

    The books I bought said they were not compatible. Why would a non compatible book even be available?? I just spent 30$ on 6 books and now they won't work. Can someone help me?

  • After downloading and installing 3.6.11 latest Firefox version, cannot conect to the web. Found old 3.0 version, re-install, back on the internet. What was wrong?

    After downloading and installing 3.6.11 latest Firefox version, cannot conect to the web. Found old 3.0 version, re-install, back on the internet. What was wrong?

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.

    Version name is not shown in browser, Aperture 3. I had it, but by accident I removed it.
    I could not find the solution in Aperture Help.
    What is the command / option that makes the version name visible in the browser?
    Best regards,

    View->Metadata Display will show all the oprions and shortcuts.
    Metadata display is very rich in Aperture and appears in a lot of different areas of the display. Getting familiar with it all will make your Aperture experience a lot more rewarding.

  • App store says app installed and won't allow update to latest version.

    App store says app installed and won't allow update to latest version.  My Mac has Iworks from a disc but I can't seem to update to the latest version of Number, Keynote or pages in the App store.  The app store identifies the applications as installed but doesn't update them since they were installed from Iworks disc.

    all the ICloud numbers spreadsheet pages are now gone.  How do I get them back?
    Do you mean you were storing the documents in iCloud and now you can't see them from Numbers? If so, you probably need to check to see that iCloud is configured to work with Numbers.
    Here in System Preferences > iCloud make sure 'Documents and Data' is checked:
    And, after clicking 'Options...', make sure that 'Numbers.app' is checked.
    You should be able to see the documents in iCloud when you go up to the title bar at the top of the screen and choose 'iCloud' in the 'Where:' dropdown:

  • My daughter has 2 websites she can not fully access because the iPad won't download updates for Adobe. What is Apple doing to solve this problem?

    My daughter has 2 websites she can not fully access because the iPad won't download updates for Adobe. What is Apple doing to solve this problem?

    Flash has been used for more than just displaying videos. The Vote choice your daughter found is one of those flash type sites that will not display on iOS devices. There are now over 100 million iPads, and who knows how many more iPhones out there. Developers who want their content to display on all these devices will have to move away from the old Flash technology.
    There were some version of Flash that ran on other brands of tablets. But Adobe has stopped all development of Flash for all mobile devices. As time goes on and mobile operating systems evolve the no Apple devices will lose their ability to run Flash too. Web developers need to move on to cleaner, more efficient types of programming.

  • TS3682 i have recently update ios6 but it's not responding so i would like to backup this update, how colud i do so?

    i have recently update ios6 but it's not responding so i would like to backup this update, how colud i do so?

    What is not responding?
    Did you perform the update via iTunes orover the air?
    If iTunes, then all your data is backed up automatically.
    Did you make sure to use only the latest version of iTunes (10.7 for PC users)?
    If you are saying you want to leave IOS 6 and go back to 5, that is not possible. Apple stops signing previous builds typically within 24 hours from launch.

  • I installed Lion on my MacBook Pro and the Finder keeps quitting - how do i fix it?

    I installed Lion on my MacBook Pro and the Finder keeps quitting - how do i fix it?
    Worse, i can't force quit the finder and get it to relaunch - the command won't work.
    Most of the Lion software also won't work - iTunes, Mail, iCal - and only some of the preferences work. 
    The message:
    Finder quit unexpectedly.
    Click Report to see more detailed information and send a report to Apple.
    Won't go away no matter if i hit Ignore or Report...
    I have no clue what to do...
    Any help?

    Does that happen if you boot into "safe mode"?  Launch the Console utility and look for messages that might explain the problem.  If you see a "crash report", post its contents here.

    If you don't have an icloud account, then icloud is not the thing that's popping up a window.
    If you are being asked to enter a password when accessing itunes, then the problem may be that you have purchased items (apps, songs, etc) on the device that were purchased using a different itunes account than the one you currently have defined on your device. 
    Purchased items are forever associated with the itunes account (the apple ID) that was used to make the purchase.  If you change the ID on the device, you won't be able to update any of them.  You'll have to purchase them again.

    Hello enrique a.
    Instead of trying to re-invent the wheel on this one, take a look at an article such as this one to help you take care of these exclamations.  Basically, it means iTunes is unable to locate the file on your computer anymore.
