Can't deleat firefox after failed upgrade

tried to upgrade, now firefox will not work. It asked to reboot to finnish upgrade. I have rebooted 5 times & still asks me to reboot.

The first suggestion is to manually install Firefox over your current version. (Download the new Firefox version from http://getfirefox.com and then run the installer - see [[Installing Firefox on Windows]] for details.)
There are other solutions after that you can try .... the last one is to [[Software Update Failed#w_run-as-administrator|Run as Administrator]].

  • Why can't I print after I upgrade to MAC OS 10.10 (Yosemite)?

    Why can't I print after I upgrade to MAC OS 10.10 (Yosemite)?

    You need a printer driver upgrade. Check with your printer's manufacturer to see if they have a new driver available. If not, then ask their tech support for additional help.
    Meanwhile, open Print & Scan preferences, select the installed driver and click on the Delete [-] button. Then CTRL- or RIGHT-click in the list space and select Reset Print System from the context menu. Now, click on the Add [+] button to re-Add your printer. See it this helps. Be sure your printer is connected and turned on.

  • Can't sync iPad after iOS upgrade to7.0.2 - repeated authorisation prompt - using admin profile, file SC info does not exist

    Hello,
    After I upgraded to iOS 7.0.2 I can't sync iPad mini with PC (on Windows XP). I keep getting the folowing message: "The iPad could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchase items on this iPad". I tried everything:
    1) De-authorizing and rebooting (about 100 times);
    2) De-installing and reinstalling itunes;
    3) Deactivating the firewall;
    4) Run Diagnostics (result - all works fine including sync);
    5) Tried to look for the "SC info" directory or file everyone is referring to in the Computer (Hidden files) of the iTunes directory - nothing;
    6) Ticking and unticking the |Sync over Wi-Fi" option;
    7) Changing backup from iCloud to this Computer and back.
    I am using the admin account on my PC - doesn't help.
    I cannot sync anything at all.
    BTW - on the PC and on the iPad - everything that is there plays OK. I can get stuff from iStore both from iPad and from the PC - but I can't sync the two.
    It looks like an iOS 7 bug to me - any ideas or advice?
    Thanks.
    D.

    No I have tried multiple connections, at home, at work, and even at my church but to no avail.  For example I have recently purchased a CD from Itunes using my computer, but my ipad will only play it from the cloud.  I've tried to download straight from my Ipad and that too does not work.  When ever I try to plug the Ipad into the computer a window pops up and says that the sync has failed.  If I try to drag the file to the Ipad it will say it's loading than just quit before it transfers.  hmmm.  I hope they get this bug fixed some.  would really like to have that CD to isten to on the go.   Another issue I am no having is the apps are having trouble updating.  I have tried to turn off auto update and do it manually and that too is failing.

    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #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).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #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.
    Please report back to see if this helped you!

  • IPad apps can't access photos after iOS8 upgrade

    I've got a number of apps on my iPad that used to be able to access the photos in my iPad Photos app but no longer can access them.  I checked under Privacy > Photos that they are enabled and I went to General > Restrictions and made sure all restrictions are off.  I changed nothing after the upgrade and all the apps could access photos before the upgrade.

  • Can I delete CS4 after CS5 upgrade?

    Can I delete CS4 after I installed the CS5 upgrade, or will that have a negative effect?
    Thanks

    If you don't want to keep the older version:
    uninstall the older version first, BEFORE installing the new version.
    The Adobe Uninstallers have a nasty habit of messing with essential support files of the new version because they mistake them for the older versions.  When that happens, you have to jump through hoops just to uninstall the damaged version, as not even the Uninstaller will work on it. (You would need something called the CS3Clean Script, CS4Clean Script aor CS5Clean.  Avoid having to go there.  Honest.)
    All Adobe upgrades are FULL INSTALLERS.  The Upgrade installer will simply ask you for the old serial numbers when it doesn't find an older qualifying version installed.
    Once more:
    Do NOT uninstall an older version after upgrading to a new one; do it BEFORE.
    Foretold is forewarned.

  • Can't restore backup after OS upgrade

    I just did an OS upgrade on my Z30.  Before doing the upgrade I synced contacts with Microsoft Windows contacts and did a complete backup, using default settings.
    After the upgrade, which naturally wiped the phone, I synced the contacts back without any problem.  But when I try to Restore Device in BB Link, the backup file shows up in the Restore Optoins window of BB Link but a warning says "There are no items available to transfer" and the Restore button is greyed out.  I have about 1.5G of documents saved that I need to restore.
    How do I get them back?

    I see your post has gone unanswered for 2 weeks, could be because no-one knows the solution or your post is confusing.
    I do not know the solution but what is confusing about your post is you said "After the upgrade, which naturally wiped the phone" Upgrades do not wipe the phone, how did you update ?

  • Can't open firefox after upgrading to the latest version. All programmes affected, basically nothing works and it's driving me mad!

    Having updated firefox, it does not work. After an hour or so to try and open firefox, it says firefox has crashed and gives option to restart or quit.
    Same with internet explorer and chrome - no response. After about an hour, excel finally opened but so slow to be able to do anything.
    Also noticed a message bottom right corner of screen saying this version of windows is not authentic. I have windows 7 and it is legitimate and have not seen this message before.
    I have read lots on the internet but nothing seems to match my problem if nothing working. I am unable to change settings or look at set up of any programmes because I cannot get in to them.....
    Any ideas would be so gratefully relieved please!!

  • I can't open firefox after ATTEMPTING to update

    I was prompted to do an automatic update or uversion update, not sure which. I did, as usual, and when I came back to the computer, it stated, as usual, that Firefox needed to restart, so I closed it, and it attempted to reopen the browswer. I could see part of my toolbars adn the words on my desktop background, but no actual browser window, with the yahoo screen or toolbar tabs, etc. I could blindly click, and assume I hit a button that said "Close" or "OK". I think it was telling me the software update failed. It closes, tries to open up again, I see the "well, this is embarassing," but still no browser screen. It repeatedly does this close/open until I just close it, because the actual window never opens. I started using IE and attempted to update firefox version from the mozilla website, but it won't happen. I followed forum topics related to the above issues, but they require making changes through the Firefox window, which now (the next day) will not open at all. I want to uninstall and reinstall, but I don't want to lose my bookmark profile in Firefox. I also attempted two failed tries at connecting to a livechat, which got me down to #1 then informed me it was unable to connect. Lastly, even using my IE window, when viewing forum topics, lines overlap and make it hard to read the postings. This is somewhat similar to the words showng up on m background all jumbled, but not in an actual browser window.

    Do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    You can initially skip the step to create a new profile, that may not necessary for this issue.

  • Desktop can't see laptop after Leopard upgrade

    Hi,
    I have a G5 desktop, a MacBook Pro laptop and a PC on our work network. My laptop can connect to the G5, the G5 can connect to the PC, but the G5 can't even see the laptop since I upgraded the laptop to Leopard. Whassup with that? Anyone have ideas?
    Thanks.

    I have had the same exact problem. After waiting on hold for Apple Support for 45 mins I was instructed to do the following:
    1. Restart the computer with the Leopard disk in and holding down the 'c'
    2. Proceed thru the installation questions as normal
    3. Choose custom install
    4. Select 'Archive and Install, not Preserving...
    According to tech support, this should work. The other solutions (changing the password at the root) or other things have not.
    Apple Tech support made a mistake and told me to install the upgrade again (instead of going the custom route), so I will try these instructions in about 3 hours when this upgrade fails again and post my findings
