Can't put firefox into applications

in downloading firefox - the dmg image that shows the icon and an arrow pointing to the applications has a circle with a line through it. firefox cannot be dragged into applications - it only adds a shortcut to it in the applications folder and stays on the desktop

Beginning with Firefox 4, Macs must have an Intel x86 processor ('''''you posted with a PPC Mac''''') '''''<u>and</u>''''' OSX 10.5 or higher.

  • After downloading Firefox 9.01 can't put Firefox into dock on Mac

    Firefox automatically updated while I was using the browser and disappeared from the dock on my iMac. Since then I trashed Firefox, redownloaded and re-installed it but will still not go into the dock. I've restarted my Mac and redid everything again, still no Firefox in dock. Very inconvient to have to make an alias and put it on the desktop for fast access instead of using the dock.

    Make sure that Firefox gets installed properly.
    Open the Firefox disk image (DMG) file and drag the Firefox program to the application folder on your hard drive.<br />
    You shouldn't double-click the Firefox application to run it from the disk image, but drag it out of the DMG folder instead.<br />
    If you can't replace the current Firefox application then first drag the current Firefox application to the Trash.

  • Can't drag Firefox into applications folder: "libsmime3.dylib is in use".

    I search for libsmime3.dylib but can't find it on the computer. The computer is a MacBook Pro running OS 10.6.7. I've quit the old Firefox.

    OK I looked at an old Apple forum and someone suggested Trash then Restart then Empty Trash, and it worked. Cisco is gone, Opt is gone, and I was able to load FireFox. I had to give admin passwords to do this too. Why an old weird game or library folder could cause such obstacles is a wonder. But I'd rather wonder about other things...

  • Loaded an audio book into music folder, can I put it into audio book folder

    Loaded an audio book into music folder, can I put it into audio book folder

    The answer from Zevoneer is only partially correct. *THERE IS A GLITCH IN iTUNES PROGRAMMING* that will make your book impossible to listen to if you change it from Music mode to Audio book mode through Options "Media Kind". This is what happens. Under iTunes Preferences, under Advanced, there is a box that says "Keep iTunes Music folder organized". When checked, this "Places files into album and artist folders, and names the files based on the disc number, track number, and the song title." So when you keep a book in the Music section, it stays organized.
    HOWEVER, if you change that book to "Audio book" mode, all those files get mixed up. The "Audio book" section does not list Disc numbers (equivalent to Albums); it ONLY lists tracks. If a book has tracks labeled, for instance "The Bell Jar 2a", "The Bell Jar 2b" etc., then the book will play correctly. BUT if the book has cuts labeled "Track 1", Track 2", etc. then you will end up listening to Disc 1, Track 1 followed by Disc 2, Track 1, etc.. In other words, the books tracks end up completely jumbled, not a great way to follow a story! *APPLE, YOU NEED TO FIX THIS!!!* Asking us to label each track separately is inefficient and silly, when all you need to do is to get iTunes to recognize the Disc numbers, just as it does in Music mode.

  • Can I put ALL my applications into one RAC database

    Dear all,
    Is it possible to share all of my workloads between a single RAC database or would it be better to run more than one RAC database on the the same cluster if they have very different characteristics (e.g. OLTP vs DSS or sensitive vs non-sensitive data). Oracle seem to imply that they have cut down their number of physical databases drastically but have they been able to do that because the workload is very homongenous, i.e all ERP stuff? Should it be possible to accommodate all workloads by having different instance parameters or does that defeat the object of being able to fail over a service from one instance to another?
    Views/experiences please.

    Hi, generally it is possible to put everything into one RAC database, especially if they share the same data. So you do not have to transport data from one database into the other.
    Furthermore the resource allocation can perfectly be addressed with the resource manager of the database together with services. The workload has not to be homogenous.
    However it might make sense to connect the DSS users to different nodes in the cluster than the OLTP users (via. services).
    On the other hand there might be non technical issues which would make seperate databases more attractive. Like Patching could mean downtime of all applications. Like certifications of software, which would not allow you to upgrade your database, like ERP needs 10.2.0.2 while DSS would be better off with 11g) and so on.
    There is really no right or wrong.
    Still to get the most of the benefits out of a cluster the fewer databases you have.

  • Firefox won't download in my brand-new iMac Mountain Lion. The icon never appears on my desktop so I can't move it into applications and use it. What's wrong?

    I've clicked the "Download" link several times and the only thing that apparently happens is a little blue blip zipping toward the upper right corner of the screen. The icon to move into "Applications" never appears.

    Make sure that Firefox gets installed properly.
    Open the Firefox disk image (DMG) file and drag the Firefox program to the application folder on your hard drive.
    You shouldn't double-click the Firefox application to run it from the disk image, but drag it out of the DMG folder instead.

  • Can't put bookmarks into folders or create folders

    When I bookmark a page it does not give me the option to put it into a folder or to create a folder most of the time. And if it does then when I try to put it into a folder the whole "bookmark option" disappears.

    Hi,
    Please check if this happens in [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe%20Mode Safe Mode]. Safe mode disables the installed '''Extensions''', and themes ('''Appearance''') in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons'''.

  • How can I put Planning into Read Only Mode ?

    We need to backup our Essbase cubes to tape every night. How can I update Oracle HSP* tables so that I put Planning into Read Only Mode ? I want to prevent Asia and Europe users from updating Planning while Essbase is in READ-ONLY mode (BEGINARCHIVE).

    Hi,
    You should put the planning application in Maintenance mode if you are doing any backups, this can be done from planning web.
    Select Administration > Application Settings.
    For Show, select Advanced Settings.
    Click Go.
    Select System Settings.
    For Application Maintenance Mode, select an option for Enable Use of the Application For:
    All users —All users can log on to the application or continue working with the application if they are currently logged on.
    Administrators —Only other administrators can log on. Other users are forced off and prevented from logging on until the option is reset to All Users.
    Owner —Only the application owner can log on. All other users are prevented from logging on. If they are currently logged on, they are forced off the system until the option is reset to All Users or Administrators. Only the application owner can restrict other administrators from using the application.
    Hope this helps

  • HT2729 How can I put songs into the album they came from but were split because of multiple artists on a tune?

    I need help in finding out home to combine songs from the same CD into one Album. When putting CD into the iMac, it auto loads into iTunes. If the artist is singing duet and the songs show more than one artist, it gets separated in iTunes. I want to combine all tracks together like they are on the CD.

    One way around this is to edit the album info for each song on that album and make the album artist 'various artists', or you can remove that duet artist and make all the artists the same.
    Seems to be a glitch or change with how iTunes sees albums now. THey alphabetize them by artist and, as you've noticed, if the artists are different, it sees them as different albums.
    I had many albums like this and spent a whole weekend editing the info to 'various' to clean it up.

  • How can I put my main Application class in a package?

    Hello,
    I would like to put my main Application class for my air app inside a package. If I create a regular FLX application, this works fine. In that case I just move the application file created into a packade and change the run/debug settings. This does not work for an Air app however, when I try I first get the error:
    Adobe AIR application is missing the corresponding MyApp-app.xml
    So I move the MyApp-app.xml into the same package, then I get:
    Unknown error generating output application.xml files. Check the Eclipse error log for more details.
    Is it possible to have the man Application class reside inside a package for air applications?
    Regards,
    Mikael

    Hi Mikael,
    I ran into the same result as you so I asked around and it sounds like this might not be supported.  However, I'd recommend reposting this question over on the Flash Builder forums to see if anyone has found a workaround.
    Please let me know if you're able to resolve this.
    Thanks,
    Chris

  • Can't put files into nested folders in dock

    Whenever I try to put a file into a folder I have in my dock, it will only let me put it in the first level of the folder. Ideally, I would want the folder to pop open and show the next level of folders so I can navigate through levels of nested folders to put the file in the exact place I want deep within my folder hierarchy. I know I can hold down Control on a folder in the dock to show my nested folders, but how can I drag files into those nested folders? I thought this was supposed to be automatic in Tiger. Please help.

    Yes- Easy!
    When you have your Creative Media Explorer open and your portable device connected, you will see your Zen V Series Media Explorer in the SOURCE window in the upper LH corner. Click on the "+" in front of the Zen V Series icon and it will display the list of folders on the device.
    Right click on the main folder for the category you want to put the sub folder in and you will get a drop down menu.
    Select "New folder" and you will get the "New Folder" box asking you what name you want for your new folder. It's that easy.

  • I can't put anything into trash no permission

    I turned on my old mini for the first time in over a year and can't move anything into the trash. First finder asks for a password which I give then trash won't let me. Says "cannot complete because you don't have permission to access some of the items". I went to trash>file>get info and nothing was in the read/write pull down so I pulled down my name which is an administrator, clicked it and got "could not complete an unexpected error occurred. Error message 136". Can anyone explain what the heck is going on?
    I also can't figure out how to get my new password into keychain login and save it
    thanks

    Hi, it sounds like you may have many problems, & it may take awile to work through them, but the new Forum SW doesn't make it easy.
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
    On that error... Error message 136, could it have been -36?
    Well, in pure Apple File System talk... -36      ioErr      I/O error (bummers)
    Not very helpful, but generally means a Drive quit being Readable or Writable since starting the operation, which is not a good sign... do you have a current Backup?
