Downloading installer works, but installation does not. Nothing happens. New laptop with Win 7 (no earlier Firefox version) & Norton Anti-virus. 3rd Firefox
When I click button to install now, it only restarts the EZ download installer again. I've gone through the process at least 15 times now. I installed FireFox twice before on Windows XP with no issue. I've tried by turning off Norton, computer shut down & restarts, searched Internet Explorer settings for a setting to change, and still no success. I see no one else having this problem in the troubleshooting files, so it must be me.

finitarry,
Thank you for contributing.
I have downloaded the 607 KB "Firefox_Setup_19.0.2.exe" file four times now from at least three different Mozilla websites via EZDownload. I was very careful about that because one time I did it with Norton Anti-virus temporarily disabled. I double-click on the above file and it opens a new window with various "extra" software options and finally arrives at "Install Now" or "Later" buttons. Clicking"Install Now" brings up a Windows Open File - Security Warning box with "Run" or "Cancel" buttons. Clicking "Run" starts the setup file all over. I'm in an endless do-loop. It never installs Firefox and no new Firefox files show up on my PC.
AliceWyman,
Thank you for contributing.
Before beginning this post, I scoured the Support files and especially the "Download, Install and Migration" help files. Most topics close to mine deal with the Norton toolbar, which seems to have been resolved.
Doing some more looking, I found that my setup file was always 607KB, yet the website says it is 19.6MB. When I download it to my Windows 7 laptop, I have gotten a 607 KB size file four times, even though the process did not seem to be interrupted. However, using my Windows XP PC, I get 19.6MB. That could be the problem. I'll transfer the 19.6MB file from the XP to Win7 and see if that works. Thanks. I'll get back to you.
3/24/2013: It worked. Hallelujah!
Someone might want to verify this only happens to me. Maybe it is one of my settings or a fluke or maybe I'm paranoid, but a brand-new laptop with Windows 7 factory-installed stops the Firefox download at 607KB four times in a row (on different days) with no error message. I have to transfer the file from an old Windows XP PC. That sounds to me like Microsoft is trying to prevent the use of Firefox. It could have been something in Windows 7 Home Premium (service pack 1), Internet Explorer (version 9.0.8112.16421 64-bit), Bing, or less likely, Norton Anti-Virus (because I ran it disabled one time - even though Norton labelled the file as medium risk). Just a thought . . .
Right now, I am happily setting up the rest of my system around the quicker, more efficient, more user-friendly, less restricting, Firefox browser. Thank you. =)

Hi, I have Lightroom 4, but it does not support the new 10-30 pd lens for my Nikon 1. It is supported in LR5. Can I download this lens profile and install in LR4?
Do you have the latest camera raw installed for Photoshop? If so, you can find the profiles in /Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/LensProfiles/1.0/Nikon/ . Lightroom should recognize them if you move them into your home directory's Library folder in the exact same folder structure (but in the Library folder in your home directory). This is assuming you are using Mac OS X. No clue where these files would be on Windows. If you don't have Photoshop, you can install Camera Raw using the combined installer with DNG converter which is a free download from Adobe. This should (I think) give you the profiles in that exact location without owning Photoshop.

Changed my Apple ID email, but ICloud does not recognize my new login, only my old one (which is now non-existent) and requires the password to do anything. Everytime I go onto the ICloud page it shows my old email and requires the password, but I can't exactly type in a password because that won't work. I can't find a way to change my email or delete ICloud.
If the old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, do the following:
Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime with your current ID. If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.) Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID). Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out (or Delete Account if you are not running iOS 8) and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device). -

I am trying to transfer photos, music, etc from my Power Mac G5 to my new iMac. The Power Mac is too old for the migration assistant to help. I have an old Firewire but it does not fit the new iMac. Any suggestions? If a Firewire is the best option which one do I need? Thanks.
You need a Firewire 800 to 400 adapter or cable or a external USB 2/3 drive (self powered) it can default to the old USB the G5 uses 1 or 2.
Format the drive info here.

I have downloaded After Effects but it does not appear in my application folder.
I have downloaded three programmes from CC but now I have just downloaded After Effects but it is not in my applications folder.
Hello Jeff A Wright and thanks for your reply.
My problem was that I had an incompatible operating system on my iMac. I have downloaded a new one and everything is working just great.
Thank you again and take care.

HT1390 I downloaded a movie but it does not appear in my movie folder
I downloaded a movie from iTunes (confirmed that my account was charged for it) but it does not appear in my iTunes library. (I have done this before - the movie automatically appeared in my Movies folder the last time. This time, it did not.)

A shared email account we'll call "[email protected]" is not syncing tags across other end users Thunderbird. User A will tag an email as Work but it will not sync/show on anyone else's application. I've read that Thunderbird stores tags locally now? Is there a way to sync them up to our IMAP server? Or would we have to revert to a previous version of Thunderbird (if so which)?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanksthe issue is probably that the server does not support tags..... Thunderbird stores them locally, but syncs them were the server supports it.

I recently upgraded the iTunes software to 10.2.2.12 on my Windows XP laptop. Since then, iTunes stopped displaying the Summary info
, the text on the buttons, the various drop down options. The buttons seem to be working but I can't tell what that button is supposed to do
or the option I am selecting. This is preventing me from syncing my photos to the laptop.
this was not a problem with the previous version of iTunes.
Actions taken :
- I tried downloading iTunes again and repairing the install. That did not fix it.
- Don't want to uninstall it as I am worried that I would lose all the songs and the purchases etc.
1. Has anyone encountered this ?
2. Is there a solution for this ?
Many thanks in advance for your time and help

b noir, my Windows 7 machine is having the exact same issue as nsadal, and I have already confirmed that all six of the Segoe UI fonts are installed on my computer. Are any other Windows users having this problem with the 10.2.2.12 iTunes release?
Yeah it does, although the problem predates version 10.2.2.12. It's been around since earlier-on in the version 10s (at least).
It's usually Segoe UI font trouble on the Windows 7 systems too. Unfortunately, the Vortical troubleshooting technique only works on XP and Vista systems, so dealing with the issue on a Windows 7 system is trickier. (There's a bunch of different possible issues relating to the fonts that could be in play, and so the treatment tends to depend on which issue in particular you've got with the Segoe_UI fonts.)
For discussions of various Windows 7 variations of the "Missing text" thing, and possible treatments, see the following (unfortunately, rather long) topic:

TS3367 facetime used to work but now does not work on any of my devices
I have been in regular contact until about 4 days ago using facetime on my iphone 5 imac 10.7.5. ipad 2 now none of these devices work from incoming calls from Philipinnes. Take note the caller had latest macbook pro 13 inch and is able to call Guam on fatetime with success. What is happening why is incoming calls alway failing. This has been 4 days running and is not good enough. Okay I havent got the latest updates but why in the late few days whould this effect anything. I mean 3 devices and none of them work. This is most frustrating and annoying. I have intead used skype which does work but at night time the camera is not as clear. Tanke note also earlier in the year I received calls from Vietnam and although I did have dropouts was always able to connect only these last four days have had no success. Also I have not been able to call out. The wireless has full bar and am near the modem that is not an issue. Unless there has been a recent change why is htis not working all of a sudden.
THere seems to be a FaceTime issue and some users who have been in contact with Apple support claim that Apple is working on this.
I have read many posts on the issue and have seen that there are many reporting that when they have updated their various devices to the latest software, the issue has been resolved.
You can wait for Apple to resolve the issue OR you can update everything to the latest software and see if this solves your issues. -
Continuity calling works but Handoff does not.
I got continuity calling to work by doing the on & off tricks with my iPhone 6 and iPad 4, but Handoff still does not work.
Hi.
Continuity works one way here: I can continue on my Mac, but not vice versa, Also cellular calling worked that way: receive on Mac works but no outgoing calls. I managed to get the latter work by switching a setting in FaceTime preferences, but continuity discontinues to work both ways.

Time Capsule: IPv6 works, but IPv4 does not
I have a Time Capsule (running 7.7.3) and a Mac Pro (2010, running 10.10.1) connected via ethernet. My ISP (Webpass) has IPv6 support.
The Mac Pro can communicate over IPv6 (e.g. ping6 google.com works; I can load google.com over IPv6 using Safari).
However, IPv4 does not work. The Mac Pro isn't even getting an IPv4 address via DHCP from the Time Capsule.
I'm pretty sure I have my IPv4 configuration correct in the Time Capsule, because if I turn on wifi on the Mac Pro (using the Time Capsule as my base station), the wifi interface gets an IPv4 address, and can reach the Internet over IPv4.
Possibly relevant: 3 days ago I noticed that IPv6 wasn't being routed properly by my ISP, so I filed a trouble ticket. They fixed it 2 days ago, which is when my wired IPv4 networking broke. (Given that I can use IPv4 via wifi suggests that the problem lies with the Time Capsule).
I have tried rebooting the Time Capsule and different ethernet ports on both the Time Capsule and Mac Pro, to no avail.
How can I get wired IPv4 working again?I wish you were running anything but yosemite on the computer as it is least reliable networking OS yet.
Factory reset the TC. Redo the setup.. please use all short names, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.. do not use the names apple wizard will recommend.. keep passwords also 8-20 character pure alphanumeric but mixed case and numbers.
In ethernet setup of the computer.. how have you got ipv6 set??
How is ipv4 set?
Have you tried static address in the Mac?
What sort of broadband is this?? If there is a modem what sort? And what mode is the TC running in?
One of the strange things that can happen.. with IPv6 you can use TC bridged to a fibre connection..
But for ipv4 to work it must be set to DHCP and NAT in the network tab. -
Weirdness: http works but https does not
I have a very weird problem which no-one has been able to fix.
I have an Airport Extreme card and a third-party DSL modem / wireless router combo. Most internet activities are fine (ftp, email, http) but whenever I try to access a secure site (https) or run a VPN connection (Apani Netlock) one of three things happen:
1. I spontaneously disassociate from my WiFi base station, losing the wireless connection. If I cancel the https request or close down the VPN, the wireless link comes back after 5-10 seconds.
2. I get TCP/IP timeouts - no responses from server.
3. It works, but extremely slowly. Loading a single https web page can take anywhere between 30 seconds to 3 minutes. I'm on a 1.5 Mb/s DSL link.
Things I have tried:
1. Connecting by ethernet directly to the router instead of using 802.11b/g - all the problems go away. So it is not a DSL modem or ISP issue.
2. Changing the MTU of the Airport Extreme card (en1). I have tried values from 600 to 1492. Same problems exist - makes no difference.
3. Tried an Apple Airport base station connected by ethernet to the modem instead of using the modem's wireless. Same problems exist, although the VPN doesn't work at all (even slowly) because the ABS does not support that particular VPN protocol.
I'm at my wits end. No one I have spoken to at tech support at the ISP or modem manufacturer have ever heard of such a problem.
HELP!Ok, it's some years later. and the problem has gone away. Things which may have fixed it: OS software upgrades, client software upgrades, better signal strength (this problem did seem more prevalent at low WiFi signal strengths).
