  • I've been a Firefox user for years but I can't complete new Firefox download. The actual download goes well, but then I'm told to move Firefox icon into applications folder when prompted, but I don't get prompted.

    I've been a Firefox user for years, but now you offer me a new version and I can't complete the installation process. The initial download goes well but then I'm instructed to move the icon into my applications folder when prompted and I don't get prompted. Nothing whatever happens. What am I doing wrong?

    We are not around here 24 hours, so you may need to wait for a response.
    The DMG (disk image) file is the Firefox installation file that you can download from the Mozilla site and save to your desktop. You can double click that file to open the image.
    From [[Installing Firefox on Mac]]:
    * Once the download has completed, the disk image may open by itself and mount a new volume which contains the Firefox application. If you do not see the new volume, double-click the Firefox dmg icon to open it.
    * A Finder window appears, containing the Firefox application. Drag the Firefox Icon into the Applications folder.

  • I download itunes it says its successfully installed. then when i try to open it it says "apple application support not found" PLEASE HELP!!

    I download itunes it says its successfully installed but then when i try to open it is says "Apple Application Support not found"

    Let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you? If so, does iTunes launch properly now?
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

    Nothing will be verified on my iPod through iCloud. Not my pictures, mail, or iMessage. It works on my iPad but not my iPod. Says to check mail for verification, but I never got an email

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Put in a request for another verification e-mail to be sent to you.
    Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
    Also check your Mail rules and filtering, the verification mail may be going to a junk folder or even being deleted altogether.

  • Why does something download as a file and not a folder when it is suppose to download as a folder?

    Hello!, I keep downloading a modpack for this video game on my macbook. And it is suppose to download as a folder but it downloads as like a page or file. I am very confused similar things have happened in the past. Thank you

    Safari use webarchive format. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webarchive
    Firefox doesn't include a similar feature, but a feature like that can be added via either the MAF extension or the UnMHT extension. <br />

  • Dragging photos to folder when creating an album

    I received an email with photos that I dragged to Iphoto dock. The pictures appear in my photos but I am unable to drag them into the folder that I have created for an album that I am trying to put together and purchase from apple.

    We may have a terminology issue here
    The window on the left the the source pane - the source pane contains folder if they exist and albums and keepsakes (especial kinds of albums)
    Photos go into albums - albums may then be placed in folders - the photos for keepsakes are in albums - not in folders
    To add photos to a keepsake albums drag them from an event in the library on the right to the keepsake album on the left

  • After updating to ios8, i tried to log into my instagram on my iphone 5c and it says my account is disabled when i never disabled it

    ive tried to delete the instagram app multiple times and it still wont let me log in. also, i have had my friends log into my account, and they are able to log into my account. i have heard of other people that are also having the same problem.

    Hi Wendy
    I to had the same problem when my account was disabled after my fiancé used my phone.
    As I was being advised to contact apple support, being new to even itunes on my own account i checked in with them, and every thing I was being advised to do still disabled.
    I was obsessing over this and was trawlling through guides etc just incase I had missed something.
    As it turns out I had but no one had suggested it!
    The morning I was going to go and let my frustration out on a member of the apple store I had one last look. Went into the account settings and realised my name was right address right account details were not. I changed these and now my app store has become my obsession. I could finally feel the same way about my iPhone as my friends did and still do about theirs.
    Sorry it was long winded but I truely was getting annoyed and out played by my iPhone.
    I do hope this helps you and your daughter.

  • I downloaded firefox upgrade. unable to drag to application folder..screen indicates "1 of 2 selected 0 kb avail..... says "1 of 2 selected, 0 kb avail

    firefox upgrade downloaded..unable to drag into application folder.. it says unable because one is in use....also says...1 of 2 selected zero kb avail

    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 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

  • How do I get the prompt in "Step 2" of the download process to provide the icon I need to drag to my applications folder?

    The problem with the help page is that it starts after the browser is downloaded which is great, but I generally have very few questions about the browser once it is downloaded, it is getting it downloaded that generally provides the most difficulty.
    The last time I tried to download a Firefox upgrade 3.4 to 3.6, I think. I had a different but similar problem. Then I would click on the download button and nothing would happen, this went on for several months. But I hung in there and dutifully clicked the download button again and again for about 6 months and one day, I won the download lottery for that day and the damn ting downloaded.
    Now I am trying to download the beta verson 4. As a result I guess of my past determination I am now getting hung up at Step 2. It appears to download, by that I mean the little window (excuse my nomenclature I'd completely computer illiterate which doesn't help) with the blue download line and the timer numbers runs across the top of the download window. But then nothing else happens. It never goes to step 2 which is dragging the icon to my applications folder. What is the magic formula this time? Or am I destined to just continue to attempt the download again until the computer gods finally decide I am worthy to receive version 4?
    I have already tried three different times. Still nothing. I have a 1.5 GHz PowerbookPC G4 with Mac OS X Version 10.5.8 and 1.5 GB DDR SDRAM

    Hi,
    I still have a problem in geting
    Window Coords for the Plot Area of a CNiGraph (under VC++) :
    What I do (inside of CNiGraph derived) :
    CNiImage image = Images("Plot Area");
    image.SetUrl("C:\\WINDOWS\\Circles.bmp");
    image.Reload();
    CNiPicture Picture = image.GetPicture();
    int width = Picture.GetWidth();
    width is 847,
    and that is, I think,
    the Himetric (1/1000 m) width of the
    bitmap ploted on my Display.
    The width doesent change, if I
    resize the CNiGraph Ctrl !
    So, is there a nother way to calculate the
    actual size of the Plot Area ??
    Yours,

  • Unable to complete step 2 (drag icon into applications folder) when upgrading Firefox

    I am trying to upgrade from Firefox 3.6.11 to 3.6.12.
    Step 2 of the process says "Drag the Firefox icon into your applications icon.
    First problem: I don't have an applications icon. Second problem, being creative I open Finder on my Mac and try to drag the Firefox icon into the applications folder. Won't work. Still shows I have Firefox 3.6.11 So I can't get beyond Step 2.
    A second problem is that the download screen with the three steps continually fills the screen. So there is nowhere to show an Applications icon to drag the Firefox icon into. Every time I click on the Step 2 icon, the screen maximizes and covers anything underneath it.
    Any suggestions?

    I have solved the problem myself. Unable to see how to mark my post as "solved". This forum badly needs a "Help" page of a FAQ page.

    The version you are currently using, Firefox 3.6.13, is the latest version of Firefox for OS X 10.4
    If you are trying to use the Firefox 4 betas, they require at least OS X 10.5. There is a third-party version of Firefox 4 beta that works on OS X 10.4, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/

  • I have used Firefox for over a year. For some reason it quit working and I can't seem to fix it. I uninstalled and reinstalled the download and it's still not working. When I click on the icon it says unable to connect.

    Yes, if you repurchase it you may lose your progress. The exception would be a game that stored all your progress on a server under your ID
    If you want to retain your progress you have two choices:
    1. Don't apply the update.
    2. Use your fathers account password to update the game.
