Firefox 17 won't install on my mac 10.5.8, white circle with cross through, it previously worked an hour ago had to delete because an annoying toolbar add on?!
Firefox worked merely hours ago on my computer, had to delete as I explained above because of a dodgy toolbar from some website, deleted firefox, tried re-installing and won't work. Tried links on other help pages to download older firefox version and comes up with page "Whoops are you lost firefox page" and redirects to where I was. Very frustrating. I just want my firefox the way it was ?!
Firefox 17.0 and above requires Mac 10.6 or higher. The last version made for Mac 10.5.8 is Firefox 16.0.1.

Firefox offered to create a new profile for me, but took forever to do so so eventually I had to shut off the computer. In restarting, initially Firefox would not open as "Profile could not be found". Having moved Firefox to my trash folder, when I attempt to install Firefox again, it completes the download, then does not appear in my Applications folder.
This is likely caused by a problem with the profiles.ini file and the profile marked as Default=1 in this file is not present on the hard drive.
*Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/
You can use one of these to make Firefox create/use a new default profile:
*Delete the profiles.ini file to force Firefox to create a new default profile
*Use the Profile Manager to create a new profile
*Use "Choose Folder" when you create a new profile to select the location of a lost profile and recover this profile

Download and save the full Firefox installer to the desktop and start the installation with a double-click on the desktop icon.

As I am on the early XP, without any Service packs, I want to up-date to SP3. The Microsoft Website won't offer any help. Firefox won't install and I need a prompt to send me in the right direction.
I am using IE version 6.00 and it is refused access to updates because it is so old.
The 'old' Dell runs well but had suffered my bad management one night resulting in the need to re-install XP. It is my second PC and I am running 8.1 on my newer machine, so I can access help topics.
What is my next step please?See if this works to get the XP2 and XP3 updates.

USB drive with install image is showing in Startup Manager on a Mac Pro, but wont boot. Showing circle with cross strip, and shut down automatically. USB device are made and work on two different MacBook Pro, but used on Mac Pro. Any help?
OS X installers have always been fairly specific, hardware-wise. I haven't read anything reflecting that situation with the Recovery HD, so it may be that the Recovery HD created for the MacBook Pro does not have the necessary drivers for the Mac Pro. Obviously, nothing definitive here, but a possibility.

Gray Screen with white circle with slash thru? Will not boot up! What can I do?
Please help!
NoelThe circle with slash means it cannot boot from the drive it thinks it's supposed to boot from.
Hold the Option/alt key at bootup, what shows as boot choices?
Will it boot from your OSX Install Disc?
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.) -
I bought a brand new Mac 27" desktop that came loaded with Adobe CS6. Everything worked like a charm until the hard drive, 1Tb, developed a bad sector and the Apple Store reinstalled a new one as I had extended warranty with them. They recycled the drive immediately (like a fool I didn't ask for it back to get the data off it.) But luckily I have all my data on CrashPlan. I downloaded it and it worked great except I downloaded it to the desktop and not the original location so it got squirrely. I also have an external 1.5Tb drive that I wanted to make bootable so I installed Mavericks 10.9.3 . I then went ahead and installed it on the newly installed drive too.
I think that because I have a new drive Adobe thinks I have a news computer. I bought the 27" Mac brand new from Ebay and it came loaded with software, including CS6. I have a serial number for CS6 but Adobe said it wasn't valid. (I have owned CS2, CS4 and now CS6 which came preloaded onto the Mac by the seller who told me that the software was registered to the Mac???
I am going to re-download the backup but this time to the original location (I still don't think it will work with Adobe. What can I do about this?

I have a macbook and when I power it on and then select myself as a user...It won't power up. It stays in the white screen with the apple logo. I am online currently under 'guest user'. Is there anything I can do from the keyboard to fix this??? Help!!!
Could you specify the model of MacBook and the OS X it's running, please? Some of the advice or references vary along with the system, so this could be helpful to formulate a reply. I've never used a Guest User selection, but do have more than one User.
If the computer does not have an optical drive, you may be able to boot it into a recovery disk mode or something; in an attempt to see what is wrong and maybe fix it.
Good luck & happy computing! -
Hi, I am not able to reboot my Mac desktop.
When I switch on the Mac, I get a white screen with the Apple logo and the little rotating circle.
The system refuses to boot.
What can I do?
MarcusWe need to get you moved. This forum is for mini-tower Macs built between 1998 and 2005 and doesn;t get as much traffic ("eyeballs on the problem") as the forums for newer Macs.
Please do "About this Mac" from you Apple menu and tell us what that says for "processor" and Mac OS version. Looks like this:
or this for later Mac OS versions:
With that we can figure out which of the two iMac forums you need and get the Hosts to move your post. -

I'm trying to load updated Firefox 4, when the blue drop down menu with the firefox icon and Applications folder icon (prompt to drag firefox icon to apps folder) the firefox icon has a white circle with a line through (like a "do not enter" symbol)
Hello puma1552,
Are you referring to the *Do Not Disconnect* screen display while your iPod is plugged into and syncing with iTunes? Check out this Apple support document for its meaning and why you are receiving this icon. This icon always appears when you are syncing your iPod with iTunes. It's basically a warning message telling you that the iPod is currently in use and should not be removed.

I had to reformat after a bad virus and reinstall iTunes. Now when I try to drag and drop a song into a custom playlist, it won't add the song. Instead of the green + that is supposed to appear, it just shows the circle with cross slash. I created numerous playlist before and never ran into this problem. Any suggestions on how to fix it? Thanks 1ngiri
OK, so I have now found that this is apparently normal for iTunes, to only accept mpeg 4 movie files, all the searching I did before I must have worded it wrong because I couldn't find anything about this, incredibly. Had been looking for why iTunes won't take all the files it previously did, like if it had been changed, and it hasn't, it's allegedly always taken only mpeg 4 files. Also I had been searching for why iTunes crashes every time I try and add/import anything but mpeg 4 files, and even sometimes with mpeg 4 files. That isn't normal, it's supposed to just do nothing apparently as I've just found out. So for these reasons I didn't find the answer despite my searching all over the web.
So I guess that answers my own question now, but I'm still perplexed as to why I absolutely, definitely, without any doubt, had several hundred movies of a few different video file types loaded, accessible and playable in my iTunes library that everything here claims iTunes never accepted. It apparently shouldn't have been possible for me to have done this, but for probably 10 years it's been this way.
Perhaps since I don't remember adding these files to iTunes anymore recently than maybe 6 or 7 years ago, the iTunes back then did accept all kinds of file types? Or could I have somehow had some video codecs or software that expanded the capability of my movie players like Quicktime Player that unwittingly also allowed iTunes to take those files as well? All I know is somehow it worked! So now my question is how did I have it working before, so that maybe I can make it work again. -
I have downloaded and installed Acrobat pro DC but its asking for a serial number of my previous version but I never had a previous version
you purchased an upgrade version of acrobat. if you don't have a qualifying product (previous acrobat version), you'll need to exchange.

All of my iworks programs, pages, keynote, and numbers have a white circle with a line through it, kinda like the Ghost Busters logo. None of the programs will open and the error messages reads that they are damaged. How do I repair?
What you describe is what we get for apps dedicated to PowerPc only when installed on a macintel machine.
I'm surprised by this behavior for iWork apps which are designed as universal ones.
How were they installed ?
Did you used the installer or did you borrowed them from an other machine ?
If it's case 2, maybe the device used to move the files was not a HFS+ one.
The only correct way to install iWork is to apply the installer and the late iWork updater.

Firefox 4 won't open on my Mac; says it's not compatible with my system (Mac OS4)
I read the system requirements for Firefox 4. My mac should be compatible. I had Firefox 3.6? on my mac. Am running Mac OS 10.4.11. I downloaded Firefox 4; when I tried to install, it said there was a "newer" version of the software on my machine (but it is/was version 3.6) and asked if I still wanted to proceed. I said yes, thinking Version 4 would replace 3.6. Well, it did this. Now, Firefox is in my apps folder, but the icon has a / sign across it and the app won't open up. Just says it cannot open because it is not supported on this system.... Now what do I do? I can't go back to the 3.6 version because I can't find a version of it to download and I can't open 4. Help! How do I get Firefox back on my computer?
4.0 needs 10.5 and an Intel processor. <br />
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/4.0/system-requirements/
For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4.0, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8 . <br />
