Can't update from version 3.6 to any newer versions? Firefox freezes or closes with any version past 3.6!

Firefox freezes or closes with any version past 3.6! Have tried various suggestions from online support. I am using Windows XP Professional with all updates, Norton Security Suite, V5.1.0.2 updated. I am using Comcast. The following add-ons are installed in Firefox:DowloadHelper4.9.7, ExtendedCopyMenu(fixed version)1.6.1c and NoScript.
I tried installing V8.1 and it would either freeze or close. I have tried opening it in safe mode but Firefox would not open.
I have gone into the registry, removed all Mozilla and Firefox entries and reinstalled 8.1. Didn't make any difference. I really, really don't want to go back and start using IE.
Is this an issue for anyone else or just my computer which is about a year old? Sure would appreciate any help.

I can't... 10.6.1 says "Mac OS X update can't be installed on this disk. This volume does not meet the requirements of this update" and any subsequent update attempt says it "requires version [before this one] or later"
          > your driver software isn't compatible with 10.6.8
          Not sure how to check my driver
          > you have insufficient disk space
          I have 212 GB !
          > the permissions haven't been repaired
          I had a problem recently with this (for my main user account only) and fixed it (I can't remember how!).
          But I should mention that I tried installing the 10.6.1 update from my other user accounts on this Mac
          with the same result.
          > or the PRAM battery needs replacing
          How do I check that? Is that the little watch-type battery that G3 Macs used to have?
I should also add that I tried one of the malware scan sites mentioned on this forum and it returned 'no virus found'.

Firefox freezes or closes with any version past 3.6! Have tried various suggestions from online support. I am using Windows XP Pro with all updates, Comcast, Norton Security Suite, V5.1.0.2 updated. The only add-on that seems to work with newer versions is NoScript. I miss Colorful Tabs and Expended Copy Menu. Both those add-ons will freeze Firefox now. Sees like Firefox is going backwards instead of improving.
I have gone into the registry, removed all Mozilla and Firefox entries and reinstalled 8.1. Didn't make any difference. Sometimes 8.1 will work for 3 or 4 sessions before freezing or not reloading. I then have to do a clean reinstall. I really, really don't want to go back and start using IE.

Hi
Well I have tried installing 8.1 without any add-ons and it will open once or twice. Then it will not open. I just reinstalled 3.6 to make this post. I have no issues with 3.6 but Mozilla has posted that this version will soon stop being supported. I can use 8.1 in safe mode with bookmarks enabled but not in regular mode!
Thanks anyway for responding to my post.

You may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
Back up all data before making any changes.
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.

I´m a Registerd user of Lightroom since Version 1,can i update from Version 5.7 to Version 6 (Stand Alone,not CC)?

Can i Update from Versión 5.7 to Versión 6.0 Stand Alone,NOT CC.?

Your 2009 iMac’s fastest port is FW800 and an SSD will be somewhat faster than the internal drive but it won’t provide anything close to the full benefit of an internal SSD or the newer faster USB3 and Thunderbolt interfaces. For example FW800 provides roughly half the bandwidth of USB 3. Installing an SSD internally isn’t for the feint of heart and it requires a couple special tools including suction cups to remove the glass front. But if you have a local independent Apple reseller you can almost certainly get it done there.
If you do decide to investigate this, I’d recommend going with a 128GB drive which would ensure you have plenty of room for the operating system and all your Applications and temporary files. Then use an external FW drive for user directories. You are likely to find the 64GB drive to be quite cramped.

Open the Mac App Store and try downloading Yosemite. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.

Can i update from os x 10.5.8 to mountain lion

can i update from os x 10.5.8 to mountain lion

Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
OS 10.6 Snow Leopard is once again available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
and in the UK:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
To use iCloud you have to upgrade at least to Lion, but some functions are only available in Mountain Lion:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759
You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:

Can't update from os x 10.3.9, need to update to latest v.

Need to up date because i'm installing final cut studio. can any one gide me? please.

Juan:
No, you can't update from Panther to Tiger, you need to install a completely new OS.
To install Tiger your computer will need to meet the minimum system requirements for Tiger.
You will need to purchase the Full Retail version of Tiger. Be aware that Computer specific or upgrade versions should be avoided since they are optimized for the computer to which they are specific and will therefore very likely cause problems during or after installation. On the legal side, it may be a violation of the Software License Agreement which statesThis License allows you to install and use one copy of the Apple Software on a single computer at a time. This License does not allow the Apple Software to exist on more than one computer at a time...
Tiger can be purchased from the Apple Store or, on CDs, from applerescue.
If your computer meets the minimum system requirements for Tiger but does not have a DVD drive here are your options:
1. If you already own Tiger on DVD
*The Apple Media Exchange Program
*Use an external Firewire DVD Drive.
*Use Firewire Target Disk Mode
Take a look at the article Installing Tiger without a DVD drive which describes these procedures.
2. If you don’t already own Tiger on DVD
*Purchase Tiger on CDs from applerescue
Please post back with specific questions or comments.
Good luck.

Looking at syslogs messages getting set_rtc_mmss: can't update from x to x - kernel

Hello,
   Im just looking at the syslogs im getting from the fabrics.
   I noticed alot of warning about :
%DAEMON-5-SYSTEM_MSG: time reset +0.257072 s - ntpd[5315]
%KERN-4-SYSTEM_MSG: set_rtc_mmss: can't update from 49 to 0 - kernel
%KERN-4-SYSTEM_MSG: set_rtc_mmss: nowtime=1339758026, save_control=0x82, save_freq_select=0x72 - kernel
   To me it looks like the kernel complains when the time get updated by NTP. Someone have those entries in logs also?

Would help to have the version of UCSM you're running.
There's an open bug on a similar issue: CSCti71838   - %KERN-4-SYSTEM_MSG: set_rtc_mmss: can't update from 52 to 6 - kernel
It's a general Nexus OS NTP bug, not specific to UCS. At this stage it appears purely cosmetic and does not affect the system. The bug is still in the "new" state. Please monitor the bug toolkit for updates.
Can you also check that the delta between the UCS current time and NTP server are less than 30min?
I'd suggest you open a quick TAC case, provide the output and request your case be linked to this bug. This will increase the priority to have it resolved.
Regards,
Robert

HT5361 Why is that when I am composing a new message do I end up with multiple versions of my message I am composing up in my Google Trash mailbox? How can I stop this from happening?

Why is that when I am composing a new message do I end up with multiple versions of my message I am composing up in my Google Trash mailbox? How can I stop this from happening?

It was very hard to see what the box says because the message displays for less than one second. However, I was able to record it with my iphone and pause it until I got a shot of the message. The box says the following:
"Do you want the application “java” to accept incoming network connections?
Clicking deny may limit the application’s behavior. This setting can be changed in the Firewall pane of Security preferences."
I did make some changes. I will see if it works.
Thank you!!!

HT6114 can i update from os 10.4.11 easily?

can i update from os 10.4.11 easily?

What Mac have you got and its specification? I take it you mean OS X not IOS?
Are the applications you use compatible with Mavericks or are they upgradeable (at perhaps a cost)?
Are your peripherals compatible with Mavericks?
You will need to do some research and at least check the above, I think you may find it difficult to upgrade easily or at all from 10.4.11 but it depends on the questions I have put and perhaps some more?
Post the details of your Mac and its spec and we can start from there.

Yes, when you update you should lose any data, but make sure you have a Time Machine backup just in case.

I can't update from 10.5.8. HELP!

I can't update from 10.5.8. Every time i click on Software Update the little bar just goes about a quarter, and stops. Then it says my connection timed out, even though it's perfect. HELP

You need to go to SL first, Lion download builds on SL 10.6.6 and above.
Best approach is to order SL, which will be someting like 10.6.3, and then do the on-line (free) update to 10.6.8 using the single Combo updater. Then download Lion from the app store for $29 (US)...when you do that, make a copy of the Lion installer in a separate location (downloads to Applications) since it will delete itself after installing. Since it is 4 GB you don't want to download again if you need it. That is legal since you buy once and can download again without extra charge.
