Can Firefox (which apparently has antivirus protection) be used on a computer with a Norton antivirus program already installed?

I've been told I can only have 1 antivirus program on my computer at a time. Since firefox has antivirus capabilities, can I install it on a computer which already has a Norton antivirus program?

Firefox doesn't include anti-virus protection, you need a separate anti-virus program such as Norton.

Firefox will not open for other users on a shared computer with individual accounts one day after installing Firefox

On a computer that is shared with multiple users(3),two of the users cannot open Firefox,only one user can. It shows the blue circle (Windows 7) but it disappears and does not open. Task Manager shows its running,but after closing,it won't open. Are there settings to adjust in Windows,or on Internet Options?
I am running Windows 7 Ultimate with SP1 installed.

How can I retrieve my calendar info that was sucked from my iPad 2 after upgrading to OS V and backing up to iCloud (using Windows XP computer with Outlook)?

How can I retrieve my calendar info that was sucked from my iPad 2 after upgrading to OS V and backing up to iCloud (using Windows XP computer with Outlook)?

I think (and I'll double check) only the BBLink events will sync on a wired USB sync. I'm fairly certain of that.
You'll need to use your calendar syncing via an EAS email account (outlook.com, for instance, is free) to sync wirelessly. It works great. I use it and was a former tied to the USB sync guy as well... and I thought I was gonna die a painful death without it. I found more freedom this way.
This explains the process. But I don't think you'll get BBM Groups to sync.

Can I upgrade to OS X Lion, and then reformat my computer with the OS X CD?

Can I upgrade to OS X Lion, and then reformat my computer with the OS X CD? Because if I reformating my mac with the regualr OS X CD, would that erase the Lion? Since I just donwloading the Lion, and don't really have a CD for it.

If you install Lion then erase the drive that will erase Lion. To purchase and download Lion you must first install Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later to access the App Store where you purchase and download the Lion installer. You might read this before:
Make Your Own Lion Installer
1. After downloading Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Lion application. After Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Lion installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing Lion.
2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
3. Locate the saved Lion installer in your Downloads folder. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the installer and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Double-click on the Contents folder to open it. Double-click on the SharedSupport folder. In this folder you will see a disc image named InstallESD.dmg.
4. Plug in your freshly prepared USB flash drive. You are going to clone the InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
Open Disk Utility.
Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Drag the InstallESD.dmg disc image file into the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
When the clone is completed you have a fully bootable Lion installer that you can use without having to re-download Lion.

Can two people use the same computer with two different ipods?

I was just wondering if me and my mother can use the same computer with our ipods?

Glad you asked. Before you get rid of the old one move its iTunes Library to the new one:
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
"Deauthorize" the old computer too. Go to the iTunes Store menu and select "Deauthorize This Computer..."
I hope you get a Mac this time

How come I can't put music on my ipod? I already have a fair amount of music on my ipod but I have enough space for more. I am using a new computer with itunes and it is telling me if I wasnt to put the new music on my ipd i need to erase my ipod HELP!

Because you can only synce with one iTunes library and you are switching libries by using the new computer. To nake this yyour syncing computer:
- Move all the media(apps, music, synced video and photos etc) to the new computer.
- Connect the iPofd yo the computer and bake a backup fo the iPod by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup.
Note that the backup that iTunes makes doe not include media.
To move mdia to the new computer see:

Can the Ipod 4th and 5th generation be used as GPS? With the app Waze and under Wifi?

Can the Ipod 4th and 5th Generation be used as GPS? With the app Waze and under Wifi?

Mini-education...
GPS signals are separate from and completely unrelated to both the Internet and the cellular telephone network. GPS signals come directly from the GPS satellites. They provide signals that allow GPS receivers to calculate latitude and longitude information. Navigation software then takes that latitude/longitude info and converts it to land mass, roads, bridges, highways, buildings, etc.
Most navigation software stores the maps right in the iPad/iPod/iPhone but a disadvantage is that the maps must be periodically updated (perhaps once every two years). The Internet is not required to use the system but it is required to update the maps.
Some navigation software gets the maps from the Internet and requires an Internet connection to function but an advantage is that the maps are always up-to-date.
The WiFi+3G/4G iPad and the iPhone both have a GPS receiver. The WiFi-only iPad and the iPod do not and these devices require an accessory.

I need to download firefox 9.0 becuase a toolbar I use is not compatible with 10.0. Where can I download the previous version? Thanks

I went to check my version information by selecting about under the help menu. Firefox started downloading the update and prompted me when it finished. I ok'd it, not realizing it would update to 10.0. A toolbar that I use is not compatible with the new version so I need to download the previous version. Can anyone tell me how to find 9.0. Thanks

To keep your computer and files safe, you should not go back to Firefox 9. Firefox 10 contains security fixes. You may be able to make your toolbar work by using the add-on compatibility reporter as described in this article [[Add-ons are disabled after updating Firefox]].
If you really must go back to Firefox 9, you can find it here: https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/9.0.1/win32/

Removing spyware from a computer with no firewall/antivirus software

I got an e-mail I thought was suspect in regards to a company on line I buy from. I called their customer service and they told me the e-mail was a survey from them if it used my full name in the body of the text (and my name was in fact in the body of the text).
I clicked on it by accident.
What software can I use to see if it installed spyware on my hard drive. I did not have a firewall or virus software installed. After the fact, I installed Norton Antivirus 9.0 on my hard drive and live updated to the most current version-but I know Norton has stopped supporting Macs, so I'm afraid their software won't be capable of catching the most current spyware. What can I do the ensure no spyware is on my hard drive?

There really isn't any spyware for Macs, unless you count tracking cookies from websites. Application installations or system changes have to be authorised by you entering your password, so unless you did so at the time, you're almost certainly fine.
In any case, I don't think NAV checks for spyware. If you want a good current antivirus application, I recommend ClamXAV. And you can turn on your Mac's built-in firewall in System Preferences - Sharing (although it doesn't protect you from downloading malware).

Firefox has become other browsers on my windows computer, with their icon. I can't uninstall or redownload Firefox without error message

Firefox has become internet explorer or google chrome, with their icon and everything on my windows XP computer. I cannot uninstall or redownload Firefox without it saying "Firefox must be closed to proceed with the uninstall/install. Please close Firefox to continue." It says that when I dont even have Firefox open, and I closed everything with task manager. How can I get Firefox back? It's the only brower I ever use.

Please try a reboot of your pc and if that doesn't work, try the following:

I upgraded IClick DVD Copy, but it will not work with Firefox. It has not been upgraded since I have been with firefox. Is there anything I can do?

I went to use 1 Click DVD Copy and there was an upgrade, so I went to the web site and downloaded the new version. After it was downloaded, I tried to use it; however, the disk to click to copy CD's was distorted and messed up my desktop. I did not have this problem the last time I did this when I was not with Firefox.
Is there anything I can do? Thank you.

Can I see who has tried to log in to my computer?

Is there a way to see who has attempted to log into my account, and what username/password combinations they tried? I found that someone has tried to Google my password hint, and I'm wondering if they tried to access my account.
John

Hi John
If you launch terminal found in /Applications/Utilities and issue this command:
last
The output can be quite long. Last will list the sessions of users, ttys, and hosts, in reverse time order. Each line of output contains the user name, the tty from which the session was conducted, any hostname, the start and stop times for the session, and the duration of the session. Last will also show if there has been a crash or a shutdown. Why is this useful? If you know roughly when you were using the computer and eliminate those sessions then what is left is definite proof of someone else using the account to login. You can also limit the output to a specified amount of lines by adding the -n arguement, for example:
last -20
will output the last 20 log on attempts. You can also consult system.log as this will also log user activity as well as failed log on attempts. You can consult system.log using Console again found in /Applications/Utilities but seeing as you are in terminal anyway just issue this command:
tail -n /var/log/system.log
again the -n argument can be used to limit system.log to a specified amount of output (20 or 30 is a good number) otherwise the output is quite large.
Hope this helps – Tony

Can Firefox 5 support trusteer rapport software - bank use

I have just downloaded Fire fox version 5, I run software for my business banking, rapport software by trusteer this is used for many banks HSBC etc, the icon used to show on the top address bar next to the www.hsbc.co.uk. I am unable to log into the bank now as this has disappeared. Can you help, I need for this to show.

Open the Trusteer control panel, select FAQ's. Input the keywords. You will be instructed to click on a hyperlink with Firefox opened. Follow the instructions Trusteer gives you (Trusteer will be reloaded), and FF5 will now have the Trusteer arrow and will work as before. Don't know why this procedure is not listed on the Rapport website. Hope this works for everyone else!

Firefox crashes everytime I close a tab; the internet said it was a Norton Antivirus issue, but I contacted Norton and they are not the issue.

Every time I close a tab, Firefox crashes. These forums hinted that it was a Norton issue (and that it had been solved) so I contacted Norton. Spent 2 hrs on support with them, including them remotely controlling my computer. Norton is 100% updated, and the crashes happened EVEN WHEN WE DISABLED NORTON. So, it is NOT a Norton issue. What can I do? This is very frustrating and makes it impossible to continue to use Firefox.

hello, these crashes are the same norton issue that was written about in the forums during the last few weeks (the norton component coffplgn.dll is causing the crashes) - according to symantec the cause fro the crashes wasn't fixed in its 2012 product line: https://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Toolbar-Norton-Identity/Firefox-18-Support-for-Norton-Toolbar/m-p/900991/highlight/true#M8266
so you might want to disable all norton addons in firefox > addons > extensions or upgrade to norton 2013...
