FF was crashing, reinstalled, same prob, did the reset,won't open, trying to connect to update for hours. What's wrong?
FF kept crashing so about a week ago I reinstalled. Still kept crashing so in the troubleshooting info I read about "reset". Did that this AM and now have a window entitled Software Update which has been up for several hours. It has a blue and white barber design and says connecting to the update server...
What is wrong?
The reboot must have fixed it as everything is working fine now. Thank you very much sudheesh...I appreciate your help.

hello terbow181, please try these steps after you reinstall firefox:
# [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|reset firefox]] (this will keep your bookmarks and passwords)
# afterwards go to firefox > addons > extensions and in case there are still extensions listed there, disable them.
# finally run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] and [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner] to make sure that adware isn't present in other places of your system as well.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to activate PhotoshopCS that I am trying to install on a my new computer?
I now have downloaded the .exe file. I now have it and my old copy of Photoshop in my programs. I am assuming I should uninstall the old copy? I thought I was just downloading an update to the old copy but I now have a new icon with a green/blue feather icon. The oldcopy has the rainbowed feather icon. Do you agree that I should uninstall the old copy? Thanks, morganne

I have a white macbook, about 4 years old. Every time I use it, after five minutes, the mouse and touchpad stop working. You can still hear the click but it doesn't actually click anything on the screen, effectively freezing the computer. I have to just shut it down. What can i do about this?!? Thanks
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test. -
I did an update on my ipod touch, now it says it is in restore mode. i don't want to lose my info, but my ipod won't do anything now. thanks itunes; it was working fine until i did the update you said i needed. what do i do now??????
No one here said anything about an update or your device needing it.
FYI, you are not addressing Apple here, we are all users like yourself.
If the device is in recovery mode, the only option is to restore it. All data on the device is gone. This should not be an issue if the device has been used as designed and regularly synced/backed up. -
Hi all. I upgraded to 7.1.2 on my IPad yesterday. I cannot now get these apps: facebook, iPhoto's, iBooks and some others. I can't update the Economist or Bloomberg apps. I cannot delete the apps and reinstall. I did a reset. Any ideas?
Are there any parental controls on the iPad or iTunes?

I am trying to link coc between a new ipod and my iPad. The iPad was the old device. I did as I was supposed to by logging in the Game Center, then opening coc, and went thru the tutorial. The Game Center keeps trying to load the new village on my iPad and not the other way around. It basically is trying to make my old village the new village, meaning I lose a lot of progress. How do make it combine the 2? If I cannot, is there a way to remove the new village off the Game Center and add the one I want to be saved? Thank you.
You'll have to contact the app developer for help with this.

Connect to iTunes alert (picture of iTunes logo and USB connector) - iOS: Unable to update or restore - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 - recovery mode
If it still won't do anything, make an appointment with Apple and be prepared to get a refurbished phone at out of warranty prices.

I can not sync my IPhone to My Imac. I have the latest version of ITunes on my Imac. I have tried reseting my phone (3), changing ports. Nothing works. I was thinking maybe my phone has the earlier version of ITunes but I can't update it.
Did you already have a look at this article?

I have Windows XP on my dell desktop- I have uninstalled Itunes and reinstalled Itunes 10.2.5 - when the install finished i got the error 7 windows error 126 and the itunes won't open
I have uninstalled Itunes and reinstalled Itunes 10.2.5
Doublechecking. Did you just uninstall iTunes, and not the related software and components?
The 7 can be caused by damage to one of the other software components associated with iTunes (most commonly Apple Application Support). If that's what is afoot, a complete uninstall/reinstall may be of some assistance:

my ipod 4g was working fine until i locked the screen but when i tried to turn it back on the screen stays black and its been 3 days. Does anyone know how i could fix this?
- Charge the iPod for half an hour. Then reset the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- if still not working, connect to your computer. If iTunes sees the iPod, restore the iPod.
- If still problem, place the iPod in recovery mode and then try to restore the iPod. For recovery mod see:

When I got my ipod I made an account with iTunes right from my ipod.Yesterday, I made a password lock to get into my ipod and I couldn't get into it even though I did the correct one. Now it says"connect to iTunes" BUT I can't because I never registered on the computer. I've tried holding the home and sleep/wake button for 10 sec and then only the home for 5sec and that might have reset it, but it didn't help. If any of you guys know what to do so I can unlock it I would appreciate it VERY much.
If you haven't done so install iTunes on your computer. http://www.apple.com/itunes/
Follow the instructions here: iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore -
i have a laptop mac 3 years old i did not pay the extend warranty plan, so know i can't update the iPhone 5 because thai do not accepted a update for iTunes the new version what i have to do call to apple or make repair
You need to be running Mac OS X 10.6.8 or newer to sync the iPhone 5; this may require buying a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store. OS upgrades aren't covered by the warranty.

How can I open a new window with the same website like the one I have open?
In safari I can open a new window with the same website like the one I have open, that makes it easy continuing to navigate on a website and to go back to the original website
Hello Andieas
Why open a new window for fast browsing??
Open new tabs.
Just right click on what you want to open and click "Open in new Tab"
It is easy and doesn't consume memory from your computer as well as easy to navigate.
