"Check for updates" is grey. I cannot update Firefox. How do I fix this?

I can't update Firefox. I just don't know how to fix this.

If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
* Firefox 6.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

  • TS1492 When I go to iTunes and then check for updates. I can not do this action due to the fact iTunes will not connect to the internet although the internet is working just fine, what do I do to fix this issue? Apparently I am currently using iTunes 7.0.

    When I go to iTunes and then check for updates. I can not do this action due to the fact iTunes will not connect to the internet although the internet is working just fine, what do I do to fix this issue? Apparently I am currently using iTunes 7.0.

    If you're really using iTunes 7.0 you are very far behind the current version - maybe it is trying to connect to a decomissioned server.  In fact I am kind of surprised it will run on a Macbook Air.  Are you sure you are running iTunes 7?

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

  • ITunes Match asks me to sign out and sign in again every time I attempt to update.  How do you fix this problem?

    iTunes Match asks me to sign out and sign in again every time I attempt to update.  How do you fix this problem?

    My problem is it asks me to sign out and back in every time I try to update ITunes Match. And it won't let you add a new song to a playlist unless it's updated on Match. So every time I add a song I have to sign out and back in just to put it on a playlist.  I saw this issue on the internet but no solution.
    Very sorry I did iTunes Match.  Shuffled my playlists without asking and this additional extra work just to add a song to a playlist.  Not impressed - at all.
    I do thank you for trying.  Surprised Apple doesn't monitor this stuff and step in and provide a fix.  Left to our own devices.  Thanks Apple!

    What you did was sync it to a computer. The iPhone can sync to ONLY one iTunes library at a time. you can't put media on it from multiple computers. It's been this way since 6/29/2007.

    Completely different issue. What did you think it would do when you set a passcode for the phone?

    Try a reset on the phone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. If it still isn't working, then restore the phone.

  • While downloading app update on ipad lost internet connection and now the updates are not updating. How do I fix this?

    While downloading a common application update, I lost my internet connection and now the updates are not updating. How do I fix this?

    Try this:
    •  Log out of your iTunes store account.  Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
    • Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
    • Then restart & see if you can update.

    Hi SheilaStuhr,
    The troubleshooting steps detailed below can help get you connected to your iPhone's personal hostpot.
    Basic troubleshooting
    See if your iOS device, computer, and wireless plan all meet the system requirements for Personal Hotspot.
    Make sure Personal Hotspot is on: Tap Settings > Cellular > Personal Hotspot.
    Check the Internet connection on your iOS device: Tap Safari and load a new webpage.
    If one connection type doesn't work, try another. For example, instead of connecting using Wi-Fi, use USB or Bluetooth.
    Turn Personal Hotspot off and on: Tap Settings > Personal Hotspot or Settings > Cellular > Personal Hotspot.
    Install the latest version of iOS.
    Reset your network settings: Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    If you still see the issue, restore the iPhone.
    If you're still experiencing issues, try the steps below.
    Wi-Fi troubleshooting
    If you encounter an issue using Personal Hotspot with other Wi-Fi devices, try these steps:
    Turn Personal Hotspot off.
    Turn on Wi-Fi: Tap Settings > Wi-Fi.
    Turn on Personal Hotspot.
    If another device can't join your Wi-Fi network, make sure the Wi-Fi password is correct.
    If the device can't see your Wi-Fi network, check your device name. Windows may not correctly show a device name that uses non-ASCII characters.
    See how many devices are using your Personal Hotspot. Depending on your wireless carrier, the number of Wi-Fi connections may be limited to three devices at once.
    If the other device still can't connect, turn Wi-Fi off and on for the device.
    Make sure that your device can see other Wi-Fi networks.
    Note: If you see "Unable to Join" or a timeout error when you try to connect a device using Wi-Fi, remain on the Personal Hotspot screen until the first device connects. After the device connects, you can leave the Personal Hotspot screen and use your iPhone normally. Your device will stop broadcasting Wi-Fi if you put it to sleep or if 90 seconds elapse and no connected devices use Wi-Fi. To share your Wi-Fi network again, tap Settings > Personal Hotspot.
