Every time I download the latest version of Firfox it wont install & says 'File is corrupted'. Why is this happening? Using Windows XP, Srvc pack 3 - Thanks.
When the download of the latest version of Mozilla Firefox is starting to instal I receive message 'File is corrupted' - every time! Tried loading manually (several times) - tried turning off AVG Firewall but nothing works. Please help. thanks - Helen
Disable, except firewall, and your antivirus and then try again to download from : http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Open the Windows Temp folder: in XP: Start -> Run -> Type %temp% -> OK. Select all files and folders in the Temp folder and delete them, then close the Temp folder window.
Make sure Firefox is not running and that no instance of "firefox.exe" appears in the Windows Task Manager.
Now try to install the fresh copy from the link above.
Do not forget to enable anti-virus software after you are finished with installation.
thank you

When I try to update or download a newer version I get a box that says file is corrupt, why?
Everytime I try to download a newer version of Mozzilla Firefox it starts to download, then displays a run box, and when you push the run button, a box appears and says file is corrupt. I recently installed windows 7 and I have slow internet.
Any apps that she downloaded onto the device are tied to her apple ID. They cannot be transferred to another account. To update those apps, you would either need her password, or you could delete the apps and download them using your own apple id.

I downloaded the latest version of iTunes on my PC. Now I cannot open iTunes. I receive the following error message: "The procedure entry point AVCFAssetCreateWithByteStreamAndOptions could not be located in the dynamic link library AVfoundationCF.dll" After pressing the "OK" button I receive a second error message: 'iTunes not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 127)". I've uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled to no avail. I've also eliminated the temp files (per suggestions on the trouble-shooting page) and no luck. I also tried system restore and that did not fix the problem. Any thougths on a repair?
Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. Head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post. (Although the procedure is for Vista and 7 and you've got XP, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things.)

'''bold text'''I have found out that I need to disable my Firewall, and stop my pop-up blocker, before downloading the new Adobe Reader. Now, I have uninstalled it and re-installed it several times, because on the Checl Plu-In Page, it still says it is outdated. I don't know what else to do.
Bill,
Thanks for getting back to me. I am very frustrated. Initially I called to ask questions about what software version I needed and got my questions answered. I received the messages with registration/sign in info and the link to download. Then I got the screens shown on the attachment. I did this several times on Friday and then called for assistance, which put me into the Forum area to leave my question. This morning I have used your link and gone to the same place and got the same results. I am beginning to wonder if this is what I want. We need software that will let us edit pdf text and drawings files. Can you confirm that I am trying to get the correct software and what I need to do to complete this download?
I don't believe it is a system problem because I have 215 GB of free space on my hard drive.
Thanks,

Once enabled, the add-ons load every time I run firefox, however when I reboot my system I am required to re-nable the add-ons again. I have read through a lot of your faq's and not found this issue raised anywhere.
The rest of my system remains relatively unchanged from before. (ie. I don't recall making changes to anything else that might affect the add-ons)See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Preferences+are+not+saved
It is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
Delete the files extensions.* (e.g. extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini, extensions.cache) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles
New files will be created when required.
See "Corrupt extension files":
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Unable+to+install+add-ons
If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left side of the Search Bar (or click the "Find Updates" button in older Firefox versions) to do a compatibility check or see if there is a compatibility update available. -
Every time I download the latest version of 3.6,13, there is a message telling me my computer is no longer protected (my security tells me everythiing is okay) and to download the newest version. I have already done this twice and would like to know if there's something I'm doing wrong. I've downloaded before and never had this problem
You already have the latest version of Firefox and don't need to updated it. The problem is that your Firefox version information has been locked at ''2.0.0.16'' by the EGAMES extension. To fix this issue, you need to '''reset your user agent'''. The instructions can be found in this article: [[Websites or add-ons incorrectly report incompatible browser]].

I have installed a new windows 7 computer (Dell) and downloaded the latest version of ITunes. How can I populate my music into ITunes from my I-pod classic?
Hey AppleMacParker,
Thanks for the question. The following article may assist you in setting up syncing with your iPod:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12313
Select items to sync automatically
1. Connect your iPod, iPhone, or iPad to your computer and select your device.
2. Select the type of media you want to sync.
The types of media you can sync depends on your device. For more information, see Sync and organize iOS apps and Add photos to iPod, iPhone, or iPad.
3. Select the Sync checkbox, and select the items you want to sync automatically each time you connect your device.
Click a button to select the kind of content you want to sync, then select the sync checkbox and select the items you want to sync automatically
The bar at the bottom of the window shows how much space will remain on your device after you sync.
Thanks,
Matt M. -
I keep attempting to download the latest version of iTunes and am getting an error...
I have attempted numerous times to download the latest version of iTunes. Once it's in the installer it will error out and give me this message - "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor." I have updated my Windows XP so I'm not sure what else to do. Please help!
Do you find it in your Control Panel Add & Remove Programs? Do it from there.
Otherwise, Go to Microsoft website to fix install and Unistall problems. Click "Run now" from Fix it to remove all iTunes & related installer files:
http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
Be aware that Windows Installer CleanUp Utility will not remove the actual program from your computer. However, it will remove the installation files so that you can start the installation, upgrade, or uninstall over.
Now download your itunes and install -

HT5436 where can i download the latest version of safari
Where do you download the latest version of safari at?
I thought reinstalling Safari also ...
By using iCloud.com or Outlook.com, I get a message that my browser is not compatible with the iCloud.com . But I use the latest versions of Safari and OS X
- Safari is Version 7.0.1 (9537.73.11)
- OS X 10.9.1
- Mac (27-inch Mid 2010), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2), iTunes 11
I have another Mac 20-inch Dual Core , older than this, but with the same versions of Safari and OS X and everything works ok.
I tried the Apple support, and they guided me to do the cleaning and repairing disk permissions, but that did not work!
That is, I'm unsure what to do! Has anyone gone through this problem? Any suggestions?
Thank you -
Ever since downloading the latest version of iTunes, my iPad (3rd generation) keeps appearing in the browser as if it's still connected. I eject it (even though I don't physically have it connected in any way). But it keeps reappearing every time I open iTunes. Is anyone else having this problem?

I just downloaded the latest version of iTunes for Windows and now iTunes crashes everytime I launch it. I have tried re-downloading and selecting Repair with no luck. Any suggestions?
thanksFor general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
If you've already tried a complete uninstall and reinstall try opening iTunes in safe mode (hold down CTRL+SHIFT as you start iTunes) then going to Edit > Preferences > Store and turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. You may find iTunes will now start normally.

I just downloaded the latest version of firefox (5.0). Can I delete all the older versions that are still on my drive?
When I call up some web sites sometimes the web site comes up 3 or 4 times...how do I stop this from happening? For example if I click on a link the exact same link comes up 3 or 4 times and I have to manually delete all of them but one.Do you organise your email into separate folders, or do you just let it accumulate in the Inbox?
I would strongly advise you not to let it sit in the Inbox.
When you see this happening, try right-click on the affected folder, select '''Properties''' then '''Repair Folder'''.
Large folders (actually, a folder in Thunderbird is stored as a file, so it is sensitive to file size limits set by the underlying file system) can be problematic. This is one reason not to let messages collect in one folder. I use Thunderbird's Archive folders so that accumulated mails over several years can happily coexist because they are effectively stored in many small folders. No single mail store folder then exceeds the 2GB or 4GB sizes that have been known to stress the OS. I appreciate that current builds of Thunderbird and a modern 64-bit OS should be able to cope, but practically I find it slows down when given huge files, so I err towards a pragmatic solution; a large number of not very big files.
Archives are searchable, and a Saved Search folder can give you a virtual composite folder allowing access to the entire Archive. -
I have had to restore my pc to a place back in time when it worked correctly. This meant that iTunes was deleted. I have now downloaded the latest version of iTunes but I cant sync my iPad with it. I get the message that this iPad is synced with another iTunes Library and cant sync to this one. Thankfully all my music library is on iPad. I would be grateful for some help on this issue
Its solved I just restored it to that point
