i have an 14gb iphone4 and have been trying to install IOS5 but cannot seem to do it, when i go into general settings i don't have the 'software update' that is shown. Any tips on how to upgrade?
Go back to that article, ignore the instructions for updating it wirelessly, scroll down, and follow those for updating it from iTunes on a computer.

hi i'm trying to install updates but Name and then the password I have for the account won't let me in. Is my name my email address?
Updates do not normally require any kind of password access. It is more likely your machine's security is asking for you to allow things to be updated.

I am trying to install update on phone and it says computer timing out, how do I fix that
For me it worked when I switched the virus protection off while doing the installation. After you run the installation you then switch the virus protection back on.
Hope it works for you too! -

somehow i couldn't get rid of one website called www.searchqu.com/405 set as my homepage... I tried all solutions given to change the homepage but whenever i restarted firefox that homepage used to come automatically.. So, I deleted the profile (even from recycle bin!!) and deleted the firefox and downloaded it again hoping to get my problems fixed (which didn't happen!) because i'm getting dialog box saying- Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system.
You don't say which operating system you have installed?
Assuming it's Windows, right click a blank part of the Windows Taskbar and go to Task Manager. Then click the ''Processes ''tab, find '''firefox.exe''' and then right click it and choose '''End Process'''. -
I downloaded the latest version of firefox and the problem has started; it aways says: "Firefox is already running, but not responding. To open a new window you must first close the existing Firefox process or restart your system; I have to do this about 3 times for the internet to come on again; what can I do, short of calling a technician??

I tryed to open Firefox but instead, it came out an error saying something like "Firefox is already running but is not responding." So, I desided to uninstall it. Now when I go to Install it again on getfirefox.com, the system does not run automatically. Nothing happens! Please help.
Bring up the Windows Task Manager, then on the "Processes" tab NOT the "Application" select "firefox.exe" and use the "Del" key or the "End Process" button,
can also be done from the context menu there.
To bring up the WTM by right clicking on empty space on your Windows task bar, then clicking on "Start Task Manager".
Firefox must be taken down for the install to continue once the installation starts. The proper way is to use File > Exit, but if Firefox is still running, you will need to use the task manager to terminate Firefox.
When reinstalling Firefox from a download, Firefox must be down once the installation starts. When the installation finishes, don't let the install start firefox for you. Instead end the install and start Firefox in your normal manner, thus preventing creating a new profile which does not have your bookmarks cookies, etc (but your old profile would still be around and would). -
My problems started when I downloaded Ilivid downloader, after I loaded the program and watched the short video the program started messing up my computer. It spread itself all over my hard drive, changed my homepage, my search engine, locked me out of being able to change certain settings, made some of its files undeleteable and since then my firefox will not load. I removed my version of firefox and reinstalled it several times. I still got the same response. I went into the registry and deleted all references to Mozilla and Firefox and reinstalled it again, same response. I spent days trying to delete all references to ilivid downloader and every file I could find that made any reference to ilivid. I hope you can help me with my problem. I like using firefox and would like to start using it again. Thanks

* [[Firefox is already running but is not responding]]
Try closing any running instances of ''firefox.exe'' (and plugincontainer.exe) using something such as Task Manager. That should allow you to then restart Firefox.
As for iLivid. Possibly it also has associated apps or extensions with names not including the word iLivid. Looking at their own FAQs there are instructions to remove iLivid using the Windows Control panel, and mention of other bundled software that you may wish to remove. It seems it is more of a nuisacne rahter than out and out malware.
* see http://www.ilivid.com/faq.htm (page scrolls for more info) but includes:
How do I uninstall the software?
The software can be removed in a simple was like any other software:
Go to the Windows Start menu and then to Control Panel > Add/Remove ("Programs & Features" in Vista & Windows 7) and click "Remove" next to the software name (e.g iLivid Download manager / Windows iLivid Toolbar ).
During the installation bundle software are offered, each can easily be removed following those instructions: Uninstall Yontoo Addon , Uninstall Search Toolbar (powered by Bing) or Uninstall Babylon. -
Those are all the details I have
There is an article about this problem see:

Sounds like a "hang at exit" problem. There are several possible causes for that error. See:
* How to stop the running Firefox process
** In Task Manager, does firefox.exe show in the '''<u>Processes</u>''' tab?
** See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Kill_application
* What may cause Firefox to hang at exit
** http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+hangs (see "Hang at exit" section)
** http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_hangs
** https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+is+already+running+but+is+not+responding
* You may need to try Firefox Safe Mode
** You may need to use '''Safe Mode''' to locate the problem: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode
**Firefox Safe Mode is a diagnostic mode that disables Extensions and some other features of Firefox. If you are using a theme, switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes '''<u>before</u>''' starting Safe Mode. When entering Safe Mode, do not check any items on the entry window, just click "Continue in Safe Mode". Test to see if the problem you are experiencing is corrected.
** If the problem does not occur in Safe-mode then disable all of your Extensions and Plug-ins and then try to find which is causing it by enabling '''<u>one at a time</u>''' until the problem reappears. '''<u>You MUST close and restart Firefox after EACH change</u>''' via File > Restart Firefox (on Mac: Firefox > Quit). You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window.

When I switch on my computer I get the desktop then I try to click on Mozilla Firefox but get the message, 'Firefox is already running but not responding. To open a new window you must first close the existing Firefox process or resart your system.' I looked up how to close but I need to click on 'file' then 'exit'. How can I do that when I can't see the page yet? IE is working fine.

This is the message I get whenever I click on the Foxfire icon on my computer. Even when it has been down for hours:"Foxfire is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system."
