Firefox 3.6.5, running Windows 7, always gets stuck at the 80% when trying to install initially.
I've been a long time user of Mozilla Firefox, and have recently upgraded computers, which gave me Windows 7 Home Premium. For the past couple of days I have been trying to install Firefox 3.6.5 but it always gets stuck when its 80% done. Is there something I could do to stop that, or do I need to use a different version of Firefox, and if so, where can I download one?

Do a clean (re)install and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
You can skip the step to create a new profile, that is not necessary for this issue.

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities
First I recommend taking a look at this article named iTunes: Music purchased from iTunes Store cannot be burned to MP3 format CD found http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1476.
Songs purchased from the iTunes Store may either be in AAC format or AAC Protected format depending on when they were purchased (older songs used AAC Protected format). You can convert AAC songs to MP3 format allowing them to be burned to an MP3 format CD, however AAC Protected songs can not be converted. You can, however, back them up to a data CD or DVD, or you can burn them to an audio CD (which can be played in a CD player).
And if your issue still persists after converting any of these purchases, then I would recommend this part of the article named Disc Burning Quick Assist found here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1152#learn2:
Top troubleshooting tips
In addition to the following tips, check out these articles:
Solving problems with burning discs
If the disc burning options are dimmed or unavailable
If a burn does not succeed, check the disc or try another disc
Eject the disc from the drive and inspect it to see if the surface is dirty or scratched, or if it already has data written on it (the shiny surface is slightly darker where data has already been burned). If it's dirty, wipe it clean with a soft, damp cloth and try burning again. If the disc already contains data, try another disc. If you're using a rewritable disc that already contains data, be sure to erase it before burning data on it again. Small flaws or surface inconsistencies can cause an unsuccessful burn. Try burning your content to another disc or try a different brand of disc (if possible).
Make sure that your optical drive can record discs
If your drive is built into your Mac, make sure that you have at least a Combo Drive if you want to burn a CD or a SuperDrive if you're trying to burn a DVD (or CD). Consult your Mac manual or your third-party manufacturer's disc drive manual for more information.
Check the disc type
Make sure that your disc drive is capable of writing to your media at hand. For example, you won't be able to burn a DVD+RW disc with an older Apple SuperDrive. Consult your Apple or third-party product manual for your drive's supported media specifications. You should also use discs that are rated for the burn speed of your drive.
Slow things down
In the Burn dialog, specify a burn speed that is slower than the maximum speed rating for your disc drive (if you can) and try burning another disc.
Free up some memory
If you've got other applications open, quit the ones that you're not using (or quit them all except for the one from which you're burning your disc). Allow the disc to burn before doing other things on your computer.
Check your hard drive's available space
When you burn a disc, your Mac temporarily sets aside an amount of hard disk space equal to the amount of data being burned to the disc. If you're burning a large amount of data, you may run out of room on your hard disk if it's almost full, which may prevent a disc from burning. To free up space, throw out unwanted files or back up files to an external drive.
Restart your computer
Sometimes a simple restart can resolve issues. Once you've restarted your Mac, try burning another disc again.
Update your software
Use Software Update (from the Apple menu, choose Software Update) to check for, download, and install the latest versions of your Apple software. If you're using a third-party burner, visit the manufacturer's website for the latest software updates for your model.
Check your connections
If you're using an external disc writer, make sure that all of your cable connections are secure and that the optical drive is powered on.
Cheers,

Why does my iMessage always get stuck in the sending mode?
Whenever I try to send an iMessage it gets stuck in the sending mode and just sits there and in hardly receive my messages because of it, please make this stop. My parents both have iPhones and theirs don't do it.
The sending and receiving of iMessages is dependent on an active data connection. If you are sending, the recipient has to have an active connection as well, and this can result in the behavior that you are describing. Try double tapping on the home button and finding the Messages app in the multi-tasking tray. Touch and hold the icon until it starts to wiggle. Tap on the minus sign to close it. Do a reset on the phone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. After the phone restarts, open the Messages app and try messaging again. You can try to message with one of your parents right there with you and see how that works.

Network Print Jobs Always Get Stuck in Queue
Hello,
I have, perhaps, the most frustrating problem on the planet. In my home network, I have a HP Color LaserJet 2600n connected to my main PC, with 2 other PC's on the network. All 3 run Windows 7. Printing from my main PC works fine, but if I try to print over the network, the print job always gets stuck in the queue. I can see it stuck in the queue on my main PC, but I can't do anything about it. I can't delete it, nothing. If I restart the spooler, then it magically prints and clears the queue, but it's annoying to have to do that all the time. I've reinstalled the drivers several times to no avail. Tips?
RPGillespieI have a similar problem, I have a directly connected 1300 and a network P3015. The 1300 is connected via USB, the 3015 is connected by RJ45 cable right to the router. Both printers have their print queues get stuck, but only from my HP Pavilion Elite HPE running HP-installed Windows 7. All the other machines in the office can use the 3015 printer perfectly well. One is an older Pavilion using XP-Pro, another is a Dell using XP-Pro and the third is a Lenovo laptop using Windows 7. All our toners are not refills (seems like a stupid suggestion that the toner cartridge could cause a queue to lock up). The problem is definitely between my machine and the HP printers. I have a Brother printer and a couple of Seiko/Epson printers that all work perfectly fine.

Migration assistant ALWAYS gets stuck, how to fix?
I have been having perpetual troubles with the migration assistant. It always gets stuck on the final stage of transferring. This has happened with my previous transfer attempts and now is happening again as I try to transfer from 17 inch 2.3 ghz MBP to a 17 inch 2.4 ghz mbp.
When I first tried to transfer everything over, it got stuck on "transferring network and other settings". The progress bar looks about 99% done. But it sits there FOR-E-VER and NEVER finishes. So I erased and reinstalled os x fresh on the destination computer, and tried all over again without selecting network settings to transfer. Now it has been having less than 1 minute remaining "transferring files to support applications" for over an hour now.
The same thing happened last time I migrated from a powerbook G4 to a mbp 17 inch. What is going on?????
The migration assistant seems to be a piece of junk.The Migration Assistant is known (by users of this board) to be problematic between PowerPC and Intel. If you succeeded the first time, it may be the problems the second go around even though they are between Intel Macs, is from any Rosetta applications and plugins installed on your older Intel Mac.
Here's the user tip Kappy and I wrote about migrating between platforms:

I am using Windows 7 64-bit. After installing Photoshop Elements 13 and trying to run it I always get the message: Photoshop does not work anymore. And it doesn't.
Hi Hardy Tasso,
Are you seeing this problem since first launch of PSE13 after installation or recently?
Please try:
Keep Ctrl + Alt + Shift keys pressed while launching PSE13 Editor and click OK on the dialog that comes next.
Thanks,

Firefox won't start. Everytime I end the process/close the last window, it keeps getting stuck at about 2500k memory in the task manager. The only way I have to fix it is to change some kind of compability settings or try and access it in a new way, and every time it crashes/closed/computer blue screens that setting will no longer work.
That is a short term solution, but eventually I'll run out of ways to access firefox successfully. I've tried many solutions, and some worked, but only once. I have yet to find a permanent solution for this problem.First please update your plugins to make sure you are up to date. Shockwave Flash player has a newer version 16. In order to better manage the memory that Firefox uses please see these troubleshooting steps: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-uses-too-much-memory-ram Firefox Uses too much RAM]
You also mentioned that Firefox crashes, we're sorry to hear that Firefox is crashing. In order to assist you better, please follow the steps below to provide us crash IDs to help us learn more about your crash.
#Enter ''about:crashes'' in the Firefox address bar and press Enter. A Submitted Crash Reports list will appear, similar to the one shown below.
#Copy the '''5''' most recent Report IDs that start with '''bp-''' and then go back to your forum question and paste those IDs into the "Post a Reply" box.
''' Note:''' If a recent Report ID does not start with '''bp-''' click on it and select '''Submit'''.
(Please don't take a screenshot of your crashes, just copy and paste the IDs. The below image is just an example of what your Firefox screen should look like.)

Correct Answer by Peter Lepere on Oct 14, 2011 3:07 AM
Hi Rick,
by "repair" I mean I went to the control panel, option - programs and features, and in the list of all my installed programs I selected "Apple Software Update". On top of the screen you find the options Uinstall, Change and Repair. I clicked the repair button and that did the trick. After the repair I could uninstall the program. I also uninstalled iTunes, Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Device Support en Bonjour, thus all Apple programs. Then I installed iTunes 10.5 again and everything went fine.
Success,

ast computer i was able to make 3 profiles and run 3 windows. each time it asked for the profile when i wanted to start each window. how can i set that up again
last time some1 set it up for me. i would only have 1 shortcut on my desktop. everytime i clicked on it, it would ask me which profile i wanted. even if i had 1 or 2 of the others open it would still ask me which profile i wanted to open. i want to be able to do it that way again.
yes i already set up the 3 profiles. but once i open up the one profile, and click on the short cut to open another, it just opens a brwser window with the profile in use. so i could open 10 windows, its only 1 profile, the first profile i used.
and yes i have the box not checked -
I received the above error message when trying to install the newest iTunes. So after some searching I decided that uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes should fix the problem. I was able to uninstall iTunes. But - the Apple software updater that came with the last iTunes update (late summer) won't uninstall. I receive the same message when I try to uninstall the updater. How can I get the updater off my computer so that I can reinstall iTunes?
