    There's a lot there, so I'll start with the parts I can answer quickly.
    The "ACL found but not expected..." messages can be safely ignored, so says this article
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306925
    (look below all the "SUID" examples)
    I had changed my Desktop image earlier but when the "Installing 1 item" window came up it changed back to the back ground that you first see on your desktop after installation.
    Leopard installs updates a bit differently. If it's simply an application that does not change system files, it installs them like before, without having to restart. If the update is to the system, then you must immediately "restart," It then goes to that stars and purple screen to perform the installation. Before, it would do the installation while you still had control of the Mac and would prompt you to restart when it finished the installation. This change probably make things more secure and reliable, because you aren't allowed to do other things on the Mac while system updates are being installed.
    Please post back with the remaining point of concern.

  • Videos keep downloading even after closing Firefox.

    Hello, I just signed in because I have a weird issue, so this is my first post here:
    Recently I noticed my internet connection suddenly was getting very slow, I thought it was some problem with my internet provider but the problem was getting very frequent. I use a program (Win7 gadget) that helps me monitor my internet traffic, access and usage, and I noticed all my bandwidth was being used even if I had all programs closed. A couple of days later I discovered that each time I opened a streaming video from any site (not just YouTube), the problem was there, so everytime I watch a video I have to wait for it to load completely, even if I close the tab or the browser.
    I don't have the slightest idea how this problem started, I'm very careful about the software I install in my PC. I've searched all over the web trying to find a solution but to no avail, it seems a lot of other users have the same issue but with some variants: some people blame it on BitDefender, other people blame it to using other browsers, etc. but I haven't found a solution yet.
    Now, watching videos is a big part of my internet experience, even YouTube is my homepage, and I sometimes like to watch very long videos (20+ min.), so you can tell this problem ruins a big part of my web usage. Let's say I open a video with a 3:00 minutes length, I watch like 20 seconds of it and then I decideo to close it, now I must wait the whole three minutes for the video to stop buffering to be able to watch another one (or to do anything web related for that matter) or surf the web at the pace of a snail until the video stops loading.
    The solutions I've tried so far are:
    Disabling all antivirus options in BitDefender 2012.
    Disabling and enabling again the network adapter.
    Uninstalling my monitoring programs (Windows 7 gadgets).
    Updating Flash Player to the latest version.
    Trying to tweak the various Flash Player options found in Control Panel (a.k.a. Global Settings).
    Trying to tweak the Flash Player Settings found by right clicking on a video.
    Another thing I noted is that if I try to find which program is accessing the internet with the Resource Monitor that comes with Windows 7, there's none. Let's say that I open a video, I check the Resource Monitor and there I can find Firefox is accessing internet as expected, then I close Firefox, the program dissappears from the Resource Monitor (again, as expected) but the bandwidth is still being accessed at full. I have a very slow connection (2 Mb), so you can tell how this becomes a problem for me.
    I'm not sure how or when the problem started, and I'm reluctant to do a System Resore because there seems none of the programs affected have nothing to do with my issue, and I'd lose some other stuff I've configured on my PC and want to keep.
    Well, that's all I have to say, thank you for reading and I really hope you can come with a solution, cya!
    Here are my specs:
    Windows 7, 64-bit
    Firefox, ver. 17.0.1
    Adobe Flash Player, ver. 11.5.502.135
    (PS: While writing my specs, I was just wondering if it was a problem with Firefox, which updates quite frequently... go figure.)

    What? No replies? Anyone?
    Well, I just wanted to add that the problem seems to be with Firefox. I tried opening videos with Internet Explorer 9 and they stopped buffering the moment I closed their tabs or closed the browser, so I downgraded Firefox from ver. 17.0.1 to ver. 16.0.2 and I thought the problem was solved, the videos stopped downloading as soon as I closed them, but the next time I opened Firefox the problem was there again...
    BTW, I've already ran a full system antivirus scan, but my PC is clean. I've also tried disabling Greasemonkey and all its scripts.
    Please, help me if you can!

  • I connected my iphone 4s that i unlocked for t-mobile. I plugged it into itunes, and it asked me to update to ios6. I accepted the download and update button. it told me it needed 8 hours. i closed my laptop. not shut down. i opened and it wants restorin?

    I connected my iphone 4s that I unlocked for t-mobile. I plugged it into itunes, and it asked me to update to ios6. I accepted the download and update button. It told me it needed 8 hours. I closed my laptop, not shut down. I re-opened the laptop a few hours later, and it wants restoring?? Whats going on?! i want my iphone back! PLEASE HELP. I'M LOST!!! (I synced my iphone to my computer if that helps at all).

    Yes, and, I try to restore. I have the T-Mobile sim card in it just to clarify. It will not let me get passed that, it does not accept the t-mobile sim card. i tried restoring it using wifi, cellular, and i cant get i tunes. I am scared that if i take the tmobile sim card out and put the at&t one in just to complete the restoration process that the iphone will lock again and not read the tmobile sim card, then all my hard work has gone for nothing. ( this whole process was caused by me trying wanting to empty my pictures onto my computer because i did not have any storage space left). <--- that may not be as important, but i included it just because.

  • I have downloaded an update to Firefox, but when I try to load it I get this message, "The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items" and I have no idea what it is talking about or how to change it.

    The previous version of Firefox is still on and operational. I get this message when I try to drag the Firefox icon to the application file icon. Since this is my computer, and I am the administrator, I don't know what privileges I lack, or on which items. If there is a way to correct this I would like to do so and activate the new version. It looks like the new version is 7.0.1 for Mac OS. This happens everytime I try to load the new version by dragging the icon.

    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 7.0.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

  • Before, when i closed Firefox with multiple tabs open, it prompted me and asked if I wanted to return to these tabs the next time. When i downloaded the new Firefox, i can't do that anymore. Is there an add-on to make that happen?

    I recently updated Firefox on my desktop and laptop. Before, when i closed Firefox, a window would open and ask me if i wanted to return to the same group of URL location tabs the next time i opened Firefox.
    Now it doesn't ask that, so i have to remember which sites i was using each time. Is there a way to return to the same group of URL locations each time I re-open Firefox?

    For a summary of what to do to get the old behaviour back see this post from [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/804339#answer-158823 Helper 7677]

  • When I start Firefox by clicking on a link in e-mail or another document, Firefox starts downloading an update, even though I already have 4.0.1 up to date.

    When Firefox is not started and I click on a link in an e-mail document, as it starts up, Firefox acts like I need an update and starts downloading an update. After "updating" several times, I verified that I have 4.0.1 and it is up to date, but this continues to happen every time Firefox starts up as the default browser.

  • I still cannot get firefox to boot up after downloading the update. Get message that I must restart the computer. Unable to delete the program so I can download the program again. Same message comes up.

    firefox message comes up every time I try to get on the interner with firefox. I received an email about two weeks ago from Mozilla advising me to download the updated firefox program. I have not been able to get to firefox since. I have tried to delete mozilla from my computer and get the message that I must reboot the system. I get the same message when I try to get on the internet with firefox. STATEMENT IS "Your computer must be restarted to complete previous upgrade of Firefox."

    Try to run the Firefox program once as Administrator (right-click firefox.exe: Run as Administrator).
    If that doesn't solve the problem then remove the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\) to do a clean reinstall.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    *Firefox 9.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible.
    *Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *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.

  • I downloaded the updated Firefox, but the ad-on for converting YouTube music videos to mps files is now unavailable. How do I get it back? Why was this feature disabled?

    I downloaded the updated Firefox, but the ad-on for converting YouTube music videos to mps files is now unavailable. How do I get it back? Why was this feature disabled?
    In the former Firefox version there was a box to click for converting YouTube music videos into HQ mp3 files. That box is no longer apparent in the new Firefox version. I went back to Ad-On s and re-downloaded the program YouTube to MP3 1.2. It says it's not compatible with Firefox 6.0. Can I reinstall the older version of Firefox?

    When I clicked on the second site mentioned, I got such EXPLICIT, step-by-step directions!!! Thank you so much. I'd been wondering what that window was that kept popping up with the Firefox icon and that other funny thing. The word *install* was never mentioned. Pictographs were never my thing.
    When I looked under the initial system requirements, it said that OS X 10.4.5 and higher were good for 5.0. I didn't check further. Under your advice, I'll go with the older version. Thank you for taking the time to help me.

  • I got a message that I should download an upgrade to Firefox 3.6.16. So I hit the download button and it said "Downloading the update" and "Connecting to the udate server". And it gets stuck there. How can I get past it?

    I have an iMac OS 10.4. I downloaded Firefox a while ago and I had no real problems with it. Then I got this message that I should update Firefox to 3.6.16. So I hit the "Download" button and I get the "Software Update" which says "Downloading the update" with a progress bar and below it , it says "Connecting to the download server". But it gets stuck there. The progress bar has gone to the end of bar. How can I get hooked up to the Update server?

    That is because that Firefox 3.6.x version has been released later than the Firefox 4 version.
    If you have problems with updating 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 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

  • Why can't I download the update to Firefox?

    I have a brand new I-mac and just recently added Mozilla Firefox to my browsers. I get a notice that a security update is available. When I select update, it say "connecting to update server", but it just stays on that place and never downloads the update. I can wait 5 or 6 minutes and it keeps saying "connecting to update server" but nothing else happens. I am new to Apple after saying farewell to my 8 year old Dell P.C., so everything is new to me. Is something blocking the update? I never had this problem when I used Firefox on my P.C. and since I love it as a primary browser, I want to keep everything up to date.

    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.

  • After downloading an update, firefox says "your computer must be restarted to complete a previous upgrade of firefox. do you want to reboot now" and will not start.

    Firefox will not start, or allow windows xp to uninstall the program. When I attempt to start the program, firefox says "your computer must be restarted to complete a previous upgrade of firefox. do you want to reboot now? It gives the same message after rebooting, and will not start, or uninstall. I also downloaded it again, same thing.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I downloaded an update.
