Can't install Mozilla on home computer - won't run InstallWizard.

Installed Mozilla on work desktop without problem because BlackBoard seems to run better with it. Tried to install at home on laptop and it won't install. I get through "Run/Save", "Do you want to run this software?", and "Extracting" screens but InstallWizard never kicks in so I never get the MozillaFirefox icon on my desktop. BTW, I don't have a lot of computer savvy - strictly turn-key operator - so please keep instructions simple :o) Thank-you!

See the Further Information area of Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for download advice and direct links if required. Review the rest of the tip if you have problems with the install.

    Yes, this did solve the problem.  But I had some trouble updating QuickTime.  It failed, with the installer complaining that it did not have the required permissions to install the files it needed in the program directory.  I got it to work by telling it to install the files to another directory.  All seems well now - Thanks!

  • How can i install mozilla firefox on my iBook G4

    How can i install mozilla firefox on my iBook G4

    The mozilla-derived Firefox-based browser known as Tenfourfox does a fair job and is about due for code upgrade near the end of  this year from version 17 to version 24. Tenfourfox can run in Tiger 10.4.11 + Leopard 10.5.8.
    http://www.tenfourfox.com/
    I have & use both Tenfourfox + SeamonkeyPPC versions in my PPC G4 Macs. (My third choice is iCab...)
    These both play well together and can be run simultaneosly without odd effects, unlike what can happen if you were to run the original Firefox and then launch Tenfourfox; as those share resources. I use SeaMonkey PPC for my web mail login via google Notifier, and have that set as the default browser through use of Safari's preference settings. Even though my first browser choice is Tenfourfox.
    You can choose to 'enable plugins' of stuff that by default is turned off in tenfourfox, for security reasons, such as an older no-longer supported version of adobe's Flash. However, video such as youtube content will often automatically work OK from most sites via Tenfourfox now.
    {There's also a seamonkey 'modern version' for intel-based macs w/ later OS X, not at the seamonkeyPPC site...}
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Can I install ios5 from a computer other than my primary computer?

    I have downloaded the Lion update in the office and would like to install ios5 on my iphone and ipad before going home, which is where my "primary" computer is, i.e., the one I use to sync.  Can I install ios5 from any computer or does it have to be the one I have always used for syncing?

    You can but if your office computer does not have your backups and iTunes Library from your home computer then the device contents will be wiped. I'd wait until you got home.

    Theoretically as much as you want but there are technical limitations about the usable bandwidth in the wireless or by the used access point.
    All participants (stations) in a wireless network share the available bandwhith equally and therefore a point will get reached where the throughput in the network became insufficient to stream music.
    Also some routers limit the number of stations could get connected. For instance Apples Airport Extreme have a limit of 50 connected clients and the AP-Express (if used as access point) a limit of 10 simultaneous connections.

  • How can I install Premiere in another computer

    How can I install Premiere in another computer, if my main computer does not work.  The service is paying monthly. 

    As far as I have understood it you can install PP on as many computers as you like, but only two can be active at the same time. So if you have installed it on just one computer you should have no problems installing it on a second one. If you want to install it on a third, you would have to deactivate one of the other previous installations to get it to run.

  • I can not install itunes on my computer. It tells me I need to update safari, and I have. Help please

    I can not install itunes on my computer.  It tells me I need to update safari, and I have already done that. Please help.

    It tells me I need to update safari, and I have already done that.
    That's an unusual message to be getting on a Windows system. (Typically it's a Mac itunes installation message.)
    I'd like to have a closer look at that error message please, tamara.
    Try another iTunes install. While the error message box is open, hold down the Alt key and hit the PrtSc key. Paste the screenshot into an image file (using a program like Paint), and save the file.
    Start a reply here and click the wee camera icon at the top of the reply window. Click "Choose file", browse to the image file, select the file and click "Open". Now click "Insert file" to insert the screenshot into the reply.

    After installing 10.9.3 computer won't recognize Canon SD 1200 IS camera: get message "a camera was not detected".  Any suggestions?

    I have an older Kodak which they have stopped supporting and I have to take out the SD card and put it in the card slot to download pictures.  I read other threads where this solved similar problems for others.  Some have a separate card reader but I just use the one on my imac.  Wish it was more convienent to get to it though.

  • I want to install and use MFirefox Portable. Do i absolutely need to install Mozilla Firefox on my pc to run/use MozFireFoxPortable ?

    Do i absolutely need to install Mozilla Firefox on my pc to run/use MozFireFoxPortable ?
    i've been trying to use MFFPortable for several days and am as confused as hell whether i'm in FF or FFPortable
    FFPortable says their product is sooooooooo easy to install; they don't say it is easy to use with confidence
    can i just install FFPortable on an external (thumb) drive as seems to be its intention and purpose for security reasons without any parts of MozFireFox on the computer hard drive ?
    thnx, john

    You can copy the contents of your regular Firefox profile into your Firefox Portable profile folder. This way you'll have all your regular data like bookmarks, saved passwords, cookies, and so on.
    * [[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data]]
    * http://portableapps.com/support/firefox_portable#local_profile
    If you still want to export and import bookmarks manually, see

    You launch Firefox Portable, you type something into the address bar and press Enter, and your local version of Firefox starts? If so, that simply shouldn't happen, and I can't imagine why it does. I suggest you continue the conversation that you started over on the Firefox Portable support forum:

  • HT4759 how can i install icloud to my mac which is running on Mac OS X version 10.6.8?

    how can i install icloud to my mac which is running on Mac OS X version 10.6.8 ?

    You must first upgrade to 10.7.5 or later.
    Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mavericks
    To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8, Lion, or Mountain Lion installed. Purchase and download Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
                 Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
    Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

  • I can't install pages 09 on a recent iMac running 10.9.1.

    I can't install pages 09 on a recent iMac running 10.9.1. I am using a retail dvd - I get the error message that the "installer is damaged".
    Any suggestions? THANKS

    Open your System Preferences and go to "Security & Privacy". In the General tab set "Allow apps downloaded from:" to Anywhere. (You may have to click the lock and enter your administrator password first before you can make this change).
    Now try the installer again. Make sure you change the setting back to it's previous setting when you are done and check the App Store for any updates to your iWork apps before you start using it.
