Firefix claims an update is available, and so I click to get it installed (I am running 5.0). I get a message that the install failed and that I need to make sure no other copies of FF are running on my computer. ??

The bigger issue is that it tries to run the update every time I click on a URL (like from an email). And so it opens a window to locate a browser, then starts the update - which then crashes with the message about making sure no other copies of FF are running.

Firefox [[Safe mode]] is a diagnostic mode that allows troubleshooting.<br />
You start the same version, only some features are disable like add-ons (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions).

I keep getting a message reading "The server responded with an error...Make sure the URL is correct. Error 404" How do I correct this issue?

The URL https://calendar.google.com/calendar/dav/[email protected]/user///calendar.google.com/calendar/dav/[email protected]/user/ encountered HTTP error 404. Make sure the URL is correct. How do I correct this issue so that I no longer see this message? Your help will be greatly appreciated.

I simply un checked calendar in my account settings and closed ical.
I checked it again, and opened ical.
Thanks for the tip Linc Davis! but it works without deleting the google account completely. this was pretty straighforward and fast.

Update could not be installed pls make sure no other copies running

I have version Firefox 10.0 and it is trying to update to 10.0.01 but msg states update could not be installed. Please make sure no other copies of FF are running. I had this problem before V10 was updated and re-installed FF at that time. Why does this continue to happen. I tried restarting and Run as admin but nothing works.

Hi,
Please try deleting the '''parent.lock''' file in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder Firefox Profile Folder]. You can also open this folder via Firefox '''Help''' ('''Alt''' + '''H''') > '''Troubleshooting Information''' > '''Open Containing Folder''', and exit Firefox.

I can't update or delete (to reinstall) iTunes. I get a message that "iTunes.msi" can't be found or is not available. It's there but may be corrupted? Any suggestions?

Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on 25 June 2010. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp. Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Recently I updated to Maverick -- I also updated Numbers, Pages and Keynote. NOW, I cannot open my pages documents. I get a message that I need a newer version of Pages. I have the newest version (5.2). How do I get around this to view my documents?

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5.2 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

I was at Apple Store yesterday and they created a pages document for me. When I got home and tried to open it, I get a message that I need a newer version of Pages. I see the image when I before I push "open". The 'kind' is pages publication.

Just be careful with Pages 5, it is not strictly an upgrade.
Apple has actually removed over 90 features and some work can be very difficult in the newer version.
It was all done to make it more interchangeable with the inferior iOS version:

HT204053 I updated to I0S6 but when I go to update my apps I get error message that I need IOS5

I updated to I0S6 but when I go to update my apps I get error message that I need IOS5! Why am I getting that message after already updating to IOS6?

The Apps are probably a bit behind and have not been updated to work with iOS6 yet.

I can not open my documents I made last week - I get a message that I need to upgrade and I have the latest download?!

pages is not letting me open my documents I made last week. I get a message that I need to update my software. I am up to date.
What to do?

It sounds like you have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.

Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

I try to open Acrobat I get a message that I need to register the product. I click on register and after about a minute, I'm told that I don't have an internet connection. My internet connection is working fine. In fact I registered Acrobat Pro XI using my account, but the program itself will not recognize it or allow me to use the software. What do I do?

If you already registered, then there is no point to trying to do so again. Simply dismiss the dialog.

My iPad conveys that it is disable, and that I need to connect to iTunes. When I connect to iTunes I get a message that I need to enter my pass code and open my Ipad, but I don't get the number board to open with a password. How do I fix this?

You will need to restore it. The sidebar of your iPad appears on itunes even if you dont enter the passcode. There's the option to restore it. More info:

I installed acrobat pro on my computer, and now I am unable to download items because I get a message that I need to open acrobat for the user agreement. opening acrobat pro does not help. What do i do?

I have not contacted Adobe. I am using acrobat pro CC, and haven't noticed any problem with the software itself. The only problem I have had so far is when I try to download.

Firefix claims an update is available, and so I click to get it installed (I am running 5.0). I get a message that the install failed and that I need to make sure no other copies of FF are running on my computer. ??
