Copied profiles from old to new, now i get 'A copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time.'

admitting defeat! after copying profiles from old computer to new one i can't get firefox to launch. says it's already open. i have gone as far as deleting the application, along with the cache and profiles and emptying the trash. then downloaded new version and same thing. obviously i'm forgetting something. have been out of the loop for a while... thanks for any help. :)

If you restored or copied a profile folder and not the corresponding file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/profiles.ini_file profiles.ini] then you need to use the Profile Manager to create a new profile and choose the location of the restored profile as the location of the new profile (Choose Folder).

When I click on the icon to open Firefox I get an error message " A copy of Firefox is already open, only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time".

I have tried to download and run Firefox on my MAC OS 10.6.7 several times and have run into this error message every time:
"A copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time". A search through the computer does not fine another copy of Firefox and there is no window open or evidence of the program open.
When I got this computer a year ago I copied the hard drive from the old computer onto the new and the old computer had a copy of Firefox on it and the program worked on that computer. It would not run on the new computer so I thought maybe it was due to the Intel chip so I deleted the program and downloaded the newest version at the time. This is when I started getting the error message and subsequent attempts have yielded the same results.
Can you be of help?

Error on Mac- A copy of firefox is already open. only one copy of firefox can be open at a time.

error message on mac - a copy of firefox is already open. Only one copy of firefox can be open at a time.

This worked, I used the method described in this link http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=365156, and opened the Mozilla profile screen with the terminal on my mac, using the language given in the links. Then I duplicated my original profile to save the bookmarks, etc. Put them in a folder listed Duplicate profile with the date. With the open profile screen, I deleted my original profile, created new profile folder and then a new profile. Note that profile cannot be created in the system library, it must be created on the disc, because the library will not allow writing into it. After I created my new profile folder, I dragged all my old information into it, and it worked. Firefox closed and the error disappeared. You must be VERY careful to make sure Firefox is closed anytime you are doing anything with the profile folders. I think that is what caused my original problem.

Copied ITunes from Old to New Comp. but Files NOT showing up in new Library

SO, I used my IPod to copy my ITunes Library from my work computer to my home computer. Now in my Music folder both of the libraries are there- but when I open ITunes it is still all of my old music... none of the new music is showing up. I can manually "Add Folder to Library" but this seems ******** since the folder is already LIVING in my library... HELP.

Had to drag all folders into my ITunes --- not just the ITunes Music Folder.

Copying itunes music from old to new Windows PC

Hi,
I currently have iTunes installed on my laptop, the iTunes config files are in the default directory on the C:\ however the actual music files and folders are on an external USB drive.
I have just purchased a new Dell Inspiron 6400 and want to transfer my iTunes onto this new laptop. I assume I have to install iTunes onto the new laptop but after that I have no idea.
1. What are the steps to copy over my iTunes from old to new laptop?
2. Will it keep the playlist and folder structure on the new laptop that is already setup on old laptop?
Cheers Col.
Dell Laptop Windows 2000 iTunes 6.0.4.2

If you download a program called ephPod you will be able to copy all the songs from your iPod to a folder of your choice on your new computer. Its free as well, which is always good.
once downloaded, connect your ipod to your new computer and ephPod will load up all the songs on it. if you click on songs at the top (as in, sort by songs), then select all and copy to directory it will ask u to select a folder on the computer to copy the songs to. then just simply press ok and it shold work. any photos can be copied by going into your iPod via My Computer and just clicking on iPod -> Photos. good luck!

transferring data from old to new and stuck on one min remaining for 1.5 days. any ideas

If you have already tried restarting the process and it continues to stall out, the only way to do it is through target disk mode. Because USB C is so new there is not an official way to do it. If you take it into an Apple Store they should transfer your data for free.

New Computer - How do I move my library from Old to New Computer?

Hi,
I bought a new computer and want to transfer all my music from the old one to the new one.
This is what I did so far:
Copied the entire iTunes directory from my old computer into an external hard drive.
Then loaded the entire iTunes folder from the hard Drive to the existing iTunes directory in the new Laptop.
Now, none of the songs showed up in my iTunes Library screen.
So I had to basically drag them from windows explorer into the iTunes Library screen. However, none of the album artwork, or ratings, etc, are there (i copied all those files from old to new computer as they were in the original directories in my old computer, I think)... It looks like i'll have to do all that work again!
Is there a way to do this one shot??
Thanks!
RJ.

Launch iTunes with the Shift key held down, select Choose Library, and navigate to the folder you copied.

When trying to start Firefox I keep getting message saying "A copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time." I've started a new Profile but Profile Manager keeps telling me the Default one is still in use.

When trying to start Firefox again I got a message saying "Close Firefox. A copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time." This question is addressed in Mozillazine but nothing I've tried from there seems to work. I started a new Profile from the Profile Manager which at least gets me up and functioning, but weirdly enough the Manager also tells me the old (Default) profile is still running, though I can't find a way to close it. I also can't find the Default profile in my profile manager. can anyone help?
== This happened ==
Just once or twice
== i thought I'd exited Firefox and was going in again.

Had this problem on my MacBook after I deleted my profile (the profile folder is named something like asd8f7as.default). The solution for me was to open profiles.ini and delete the information about the profile I had deleted. It should look something like this:
[Profile0]
Name=default
IsRelative=1
Path=Profiles/2xr4hi1g.default
Delete, save, problem solved.

thanks for your help. You may right that Adobe Photoshop is not a tidy programm. But it is the only of my applications that make problems after using the MA. Anf for what the MA ist made for?
But i still have a question. Is this cc-cleaner as well working for Photoshop Elements 8.0? I tried the link but at the second step "Uninstall Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications" I do not find at the Application folder the Utitily folder.
Thanks

How did you migrate? Unless you cloned over a complete system you just made a bunch more trouble for yourself. You can never, never migrate PSE with the migration assistant. PSE is not a tidy package app in accordance with the apple developer guidelines. It strews stuff all over your hard drive and puts things in places the MA isn't programmed to look. Now you will have a lot of manual cleaning up to do. You must always reinstall PSE from scratch.
First download and run this:
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation -problems.html
Then you can manually remove the bits that got copied over. You can't use spotlight to help with this; it's programmed to ignore these kinds of files. In addition to what's in the applications folder, you will need to go to the library at the top level of your hard drive>Application Support>Adobe and remove anything in there, as well as your username>library>preferences. Then you can reinstall from your original media.

No service, sim not provisioned, copy numbers from old phone to iPhone!!!

As Apple don't provide any sort of useful instruction manual with the iphone here are the probs and answers I encountered with my iPhone 3GS.
*copy numbers from old phone to iPhone*
1st problem is that my old Nokia had far more numbers stored on it than on the Sim card alone, so having received and opened box of iPhone with new sim card I switched off my old Nokia phone, removed old sim card, replaced it with new sim card and copied contents to new card, then ejected new card from old phone and fitted in new iPhone.
NOTE: You will need to have an iTunes account set-up.
From the main menu in the iPhone select 'settings' > 'Mail, Contacts, Calendars', then scroll down & click on 'Import SIM contacts'. The numbers should be copied from your sim to your iPhone which stores the numbers on its memory rather than the SIM. - I looked for hours before discovering this!
If you have more numbers on your old phone, then be careful to select numbers from phone / sim which is in the 'phone book' > 'settings' >'Memory in use' because you can more numbers from phone to sim and similarly protect numbers from deletion by moving them to the phone memory.
It took me three chip moves from phone memory from Nokia to iPhone before all the numbers were moved.
Note that text messages are NOT transferred from Nokia to iPhone via sim.
**No Service* or 'Sim not provisioned'*
Not able to connect to the rest of the world or SIM not provisioned may be down to you not switching your phone off properly, no thanks to the rubbish instruction manual with the iPhone where they assume you know where everything is!
Anyone looking for help on this subject, look to the button located on the top of the phone at the right, and hold it down until you see the message 'slide to power off' the slide your fingers of the message from left to right until the phone switches off.
This advice posted by my own problems with using the iPhone for the first time today.
Having played around with the settings for a few hours I need to make comment that the iPhone is light years ahead of its competition.
