Cannot update from 3.16 to latest version firefox crashes

I have a Lenovo computer less than one year old running windows 7, 64 bit....I am running 3.6.14 because.... ( drum roll please) I had the 3.16 version and then when firefox 4 came out, I tried it and hated it, so went back ( after searching and finding file for old version) installed and kept it, then my daughter insists for security I update to 15.1 version, so yesterday I tried this, and it began crashing crashing crashing. She told me to take out all previous mozilla files, versions, I did, still crashing, then told me to try to install lower versions, I tried 5, 6, 7, 9, 11, 15 ALL to NO AVAIL! would not open unless in safe mode, even then wouldn't open after the higher version. I do NOT KNOW what else to do!! I am finally back to using the old version 3.6.14 only because I still had it on a flash drive and could find no other doorway into mozilla , I tried reinstalls ( and yes, logged out, turned off computer, back in, each time I uninstalled and reinstalled) spent hours trying to make it happen, apparently I cannot upgrade at all because its not working. I need to know step by step how to get to latest version but without losing all my bookmarks etc, I spent years getting those and my addons.

Unfortunately, I was not able to do it that way, it wouldn't work, but what I finally did was strip all mozilla files out totally and then using a flashdrive with the updated 15.1 version, reloaded and this time, when offered a choice of removing all personal files/bookmarks etc, I said Ok, reluctantly, since I knew I would be wiped out ( except for the bookmarks I had in explorer, which I put on flash drive) and started again, this time, it actually loaded correctly!!! surprised me a lot, but then I had to go to the long drawn out thing of putting all of the bookmarks etc, back on, and now finally I think I am good to go. Thanks so much for your willingness to assist me. I am thinking my daughter will be grateful too, since I am now 'protected' with this updated version. Thanks again :)

How come I cannot update my iTunes to the latest version?

How come I cannot update my iTunes to the latest version?
Whenever I click the setup icon, nothing happens.
Or when I click "Check for updates" in iTunes, nothing happens too.
Can anyone tell me what's wrong? And what should I do?

Many thanks.
It seems unlikely that McAfee is causing the damage here. But it may be interpreting the installer damage as indicating an unsafe package. (The damage is causing the file to not be properly digitally signed.)
Perhaps try downloading and saving a copy of the installer to a different PC. (If you're on a 32-bit Windows system, try to download on a different 32-bit Windows system.) Copy the iTunesSetup.exe installer to an external hard-drive, or a large-enough thumb drive or burn it to a CD-R. Carry the installer back to your PC, copy the installer to your hard drive. (Don't run the install from the ExHD, thumb or CD-R.) Start the install by doubleclicking the iTunesSetup.exe file.

I cannot update my itunes to the latest version? I get an error message saying "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click ok to try again, or enter an aternate path to a folder containing the installation ...

I also get the following message when I try again that the path cannot be found for iTunes.msi

Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp. Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

For everywebsite I open , first thing it does just freezes for a 10 to 15 seconds and then comes back. What the hell is that, from 3.5 to latest version firefox sucks , I am feeling IE is much better atleast it used to crash or show the debug error

there is a pause when I start typing. All the time it freezes.
One year back firefox was awesome , what happened to you guys .
Get on your feet and bounce back otherwise your re going to lose your share to chrome , safari or opera

The default of the pref network.http.max-connections has been increased from 30 to 256 in Firefox 6+ versions.
Try to decrease the value of the pref <b>network.http.max-connections</b> from 256 to 30 as used in Firefox 3 versions.

Assuming you are not manually managing your music, verify the following:
You are using the latest version of iTunes
On the summary tab of your iTunes sync settings you have checked "Sync only checked songs and videos"
In your music library you have checked all the songs you want to sync to your phone
There are no exclamation points next to any of the songs you want to sync to your phone
You have authorized your computer for all Apple IDs for purchased music you want to sync to your phone (in Store>Authorize this computer)
You have checked "Sync Music" on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings
When everything looks correct, sync your phone.

I can't update my itunes to the latest version. When I try this manually it tells me the URL cannot be found. I am confused. Can anyone help ?

Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time?

Update your device to the latest version of iOS to be able to restore the backup. - How?!!

iOS: Unable to restore from backup of a newer device
Symptoms
When restoring an iOS backup to a iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch that is not using the latest version of iOS, you may see the following behavior:
You cannot see or select the most recent backup from the list of available backups in iTunes or iCloud.
iTunes displays the alert "The backup [name] cannot be restored to this [iOS device] because the software on the [iOS device] is too old."
iTunes displays the alert "No backups available."
Resolution
Update your device to the latest version of iOS to be able to restore the backup.
Basically I've done this but then how do I restore?

I am having problems updating my itunes to the latest version, on each stage I am getting a message 'The feature you are trying to use in on a network resource that is unavailable.' I try to click OK it fails and I do not know an alternate path to select, please help?
I get message like below on each stage of the update, Quicktime, Safari & iTunes;
It's so annoying as until I update my iTunes account my phone won't sync.

Many thanks for the screenshot. (The key to these is knowing which particular .msi file is being mentioned by the message.)
(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
(Assuming that the QuickTime and Safari messages were also citing bonjour64.msi, you should also then be good to go with those installs too.)

HT4623 i have ios 4 version and when i try to update my iphone to the latest version it with itunes it can't reach the update server. what should i do?

i have ios 4.3.3 version and when i try to update my iphone to the latest version it with itunes it can't reach the update server. what should i do?
p.s.: i don't have any cinnection problem.....

It could be the fact that your hosts file is directing itself to gs.apple.com Cydia not gs.apple.com Apple,
Hope it helps
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com
Error 1004, 1013, 1638, 3014, 3194: These errors may be the result of the connection to gs.apple.com being redirected or blocked. Follow these steps to resolve these errors:
Install the latest version of iTunes.
Check security software. Ensure that communication to gs.apple.com is allowed. Follow this article for assistance with security software. iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.
Check the hosts file. The restore will fail if there is an active entry to redirect gs.apple.com. Follow iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting to edit the hosts file or revert to a default hosts file. See section "Blocked by configuration: (Mac OS X/Windows) > Rebuild network information".
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

After updating to latest version, Firefox won't open

I am running Windows 7. After updating to the latest version, Firefox won't open. I get a notice when I try to open Firefox saying "Couldn't load XPCOM. Is there a way I can undo the update so I can get Firefox to open. It's my favorite browser...I'm having to use another browser to ask my question.

Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 23: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
*(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
*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.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.

[32282.000367] firefox:2114 freeing invalid memtype c02f2000-c0302000 I get this from system log using latest version of Firefox: What kind of problem is this?

I get this from system log using latest version of Firefox:
[32282.000367] firefox:2114 freeing invalid memtype c02f2000-c0302000
What kind of problem is this?
Anyway Firefox seem to be working correct. I would like to be sure that it'snt a security problem.

Thanks a lot for your swift response. And sorry if it was a bit too hectic to go through my detailed query (which I did because it was misunderstood when I asked previously). As I've mentioned above, I was informed that updating to 5.0.1 would '''require''' me to '''delete''' the current version and then install the new one. And doing so will involve losing all my bookmarks. I guess I should have been more specific and detailed there. By losing, I didn't mean losing them forever. I'm aware that they're secured in some place and deleting and installing the software doesn't harm its existence. What I meant that if I install the new version, I'd have to delete the old one. And after installing the new version, I'd have to transfer them (bookmarks) back from wherever they are. Get it? When it updated from 3.6.9 to 3.6.13, and from 3.6.13 to 3.6.18, I didn't need to follow that process. They were already present on their own.
BTW, I'm having no problems with 3.6.18 but after learning about the existence of version 5.0.1, I'm a bit too eager to lay my hands over it.
Thanks for your help; hope this wasn't extremely long.
