Can't open from icon, must reset but does not help

I cannot open from icon neither desktop nor taskbar. After clicking several times it comes up with the reset or safe. Neither option allows for opening from either icon... I am going around in circles... This seems to have happened since the last update

Can you start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> by holding down the Shift/Options key?
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to install for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

My Time Capsule has quit backing up - now spends all it's time "preparing". I've tried the Apple suggestion of a reset which does not help. All indicators seems to be OK. Running OS 10.5.8 on G4 Powerbook, Time capule is 1st gen I believe. Any ideas?

Hello,
Thanks for your message, I have attempted to repait the permissions as tou suggested. The first time this produced a long list of exceptions and took quite a while, however although it said "Permissions repair Complete" when I ran it again there were still about 20 exceptions, I have repeated the procedure and this is unchanged. The Time Capsule now does not spend hours "Preparing", but the backup attempt fails after a few minutes with the error message "The backup volume could not be mounted." Any further ideas would be appreciated. When I use Disk Utility I can't see the Time Capsule volume, if I could I'd be tempted to re-format it and start from scratch.

Can't reinstall OS X, will download but does not restart

So my internal harddrive was screwed.
First, I booted with Mac's recovery, erased everything and tried to reinstall OS X. It downloaded but didn't restart like it was supposed to and just took me back to the utilities screen.
Next, I installed OS X Mavericks on an external, then from the desktop I opened disk utilities, partitioned the internal hard drive and erased it. Then I downloaded Mavericks from the App Store, and it automatically restarted and installed but didn't start for over an hour so I reset the Mac and went to recovery mode and there was problems with verifying and repairing.
Finally, I booted with external's recovery and tried to reinstall OS X to internal HD but it downloaded all the way then went back to the OS X utilities screen. I can't start up with internal because it does not show up and when I restart the computer and hold option on my external shows up.
How on earth can I just install OS X?

Sounds like either your internal HD is failing or has some errors that Disk Utility can't fix.
You could try Techtool Pro 7 , which can occasionally fix a hard drive that disk utility can't.
If that doesn't work, then I'd replace the HD.

How do I find out if I can download music from South Africa? iTunes does not have a Music or Video department on my screen

How do I find out if I can download music in South Africa. iTunes does not have a logo for Music or Video when I open it - oly for App store, Podcast and iTunesU. I am doing something wrong?

Call Apple and ask them - International Support Phone #s

I have lost the google toolbar in Safari. How do I get it back. Reset Safari does nor help.

From Safari's menu bar top of your screen click View / Customize Toolbar.
Just drag up the default bar or as individual objects.

When I click on my iTunes icon, it highlights but does not open.

I can't open iTunes and haven't been able to for a couple days now. I can't find any solutions anywhere. Does anyone know a way to fix this?

Hello esullz
Check out the article below to start troubleshooting your startup issues with iTunes. You may need to test it in another user to see if it works there or it may need to be reinstalled.

Install CS4 Production Premium from Design Premium CS3, but does not recognize CS serial number

Try almost half day already but still do not know how to overcome the problem.
My operation system is Windows XP SP3.
I am installing Production Premium CS4 and it is an update version from Design Premium CS3. I tried to input my CS3 serial number in when it is needed, but it always gave me "Invalid Serial Number". I tried to install the Design Premium CS3 to the computer. The serial number is right and programs work fine. Then I tried to install the CS4 again. First, it cannot find my CS3 just installed before. Second, the serial number for CS3 still does not work. Any idea?
I saw so many people posted the installation issues here. How come Adobe does not do anything to improve the product. I also called the customer support. After waiting 10 min, a guy asked my ID and then total silent. I called again and this time, I had to wait 20 min. Another guy told me this is tech issue so I need to call tech support. He gave me a 1-800 number but I tried, the number is invalid. I have been thought Adobe is a good company before. I really need to rethink that.

Thanks, Bob. Indeed, it was my typo in the message (not CS, should be CS3). My purchase was right (I even discussed with Adobe Store person before I placed the order). I have Design Premium CS3 and the updates I brought is the one which can update from Design Premium CS3. Actually in the menu where I can input my CS3 serial number, it has several options and one of them is exactly Design Premium CS3. See this page: http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/production/upgrade/ (I ordered the 2nd option. I ordered from a vendor which charged me $579).

Firefox application starts IE instead, can't open Firefox in anyway! Reinstalation does not work.

Today I was browsing regular wallpaper webistes, and suddently my Firefox crashed, and opened IE to its home page. After this, in every way I tried to execute Firefox, I got IE opened instead. I ran a full virus scan, got some trojans wiped out, but the problem continued. Tried restarting, and finally reinstalling FF, but none of it worked. Never seen anything like this, anyone knows how to fix this?
Thanks in advance

Do you still have a Firefox desktop shortcut?
You can also check if Firefox is still installed.
Firefox installation folder:
*(32 bit Windows) C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\
*(64 bit Windows) C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\
Also check the setting of the default browser.
See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Default_browser

When clicking on a link firefox opens to my home page but does not go to the link.

I've disabled all plugins and extensions then reset but still have the problem.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]

I can see the main menu on TV but does not respond?

I have tried disconnecting Apple TV but can not get it to respond with remote, don't know what else to do, any suggestions?

No luck, remote does not let me go to settings to change anything. Tried holding down MENU key with right button for 6 seconds and will not respond. How frustrating, been trying for the last 2 hours and nothing. Appreciate your help....thanks.

Pop-up allows first pop-up page and the second pop-up page (linked from the first one) but does not open the data in the second pop-up page.

I want to print my online bank statement.
Please see screen shots below.
The webpage has a link that says:
VIEW STATEMENT
Click the link and a pop-up opens that warns you about downloading using a public-access computer or sharing a computer with others.
If you want to continue click OKAY.
When you click this link another pop-up appears (a pop-up within a pop-up)
but it is blank.
When the process used to work, the statement would appear.
MacBook running OS X 10.6.8
When I tried it with Safari everything worked as it should so the problem is not with the bank.
I went back to Firefox (my preferred browser) and did the troubleshooting RESET.
Nothing changed.
In the Tools menu - Page Info - Permission - Open Pop-up Windows is set @ Default - Allow
In Preference - Content - Block pop-up windows is unchecked
or when it is checked the website is listed in the Allowed column.
It is the correct url because when I clicked the yellow options bar to Allow it, FireFox automatically chose it.
I also tried adding the extended url as it appears on the web page which has the first pop-up link.
Firefox would not accept it.

Screenshots:
# Part of bank's webpage with the link to the first pop-up
# The first pop-up page with link to the statement pop-up page.
# The second pop-up page - blank where there should be the statement. The page appears but the data doesn't.

I had installed a new driver and then, downloaded Firefox 7. It has over 100 cookies in the download. Deleting them from cookies in the browser does not help since is within the download. How can I permanently delet these cookies? Thank you.

Since it is in the download, I am unable to permanently delete these (over 100) cookies and they continue to reoccur each time I open the browser. Sometimes the cookies will not delete when I try to remove only "one" cookie and I must remove "all". I have used Firefox as my browser for years but this has never happened.

You can't remove opt-out cookies that are added by an extension as long as that extension is enabled or installed. If you choose to install such an extension then you have to accept the presence of 100 or more cookies added by the extension.

When openning itunes, I get a message saying I need to reinstall itunes if I want to burn cds. I already tried removing and installing lates itunes version but does not help. Does anybody know anything about fixing this issue?

I cannot burn cds from itunes. Every time I open itunes i get a message indicating i need to reinstall itunes. I have already done so but it's not working. I still cant burn cds. Does anybody know how i can fix this? My windows media player burns cds just fine.

I am having this same issue with Windows XP. The exact message that I get everytime that I open iTunes is :
The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers forimporting and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes. I have deleted and reinstalled iTunes three times. I also have a problem with iTunes randomly opening itself.

Firefox 4 opens multiple windows. Have tried every suggestion to fix but does not help. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I am a developer. Not sure if it was a programming thing or not but now FF 4.0.1 constantly opens up multiple windows each time I open it. Sometime around 3-4 and other times about 15 to 20 windows. I have searched your KB and Google and have tried every recommended fix but nothing helps. I am not infected, no malware and everything else is fine. I will provide remote access to my system via TeamViewer (or your option) if someone can please identify the problem or provide new details on how to troubleshoot this. I will have to find a new browser soon if this is not resolved. Many folks are suffering due to this...not just me.

This shit remains in Firefox 5. Nothing's changed.
Mozilla began to venture releasing a defective commodity.
