Firefox 4 wont install on my Mac, OS 10.5.8 (+website says incompatible)

I downloaded ff4 and uninstalled old 3.whateveritwasupto, then I installed 4 and tried to open it but it wont work, then I reinstalled 3.thingymajig went back to the mozilla ff4 download page and it said my computer wasn't compatible, but I have OS 10.5.8 and the website says 10.5 is compatible.
Stuck there.

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox

You can re-download the previous version of Firefox from http://www.firefox.com/all-older.html

Is there an older version of Firefox I can install on My Mac G4, the new version wont install

I have an ancient PPC G4 Mac. I know I can run Firefox V3. but not V4 can I still download it?

Firefox won't install on my Mac, it just finishes the installation then does not appear in my Applications folder.

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.

How can I get Firefox 4 tot install on my Mac OS 10.5.8 ?

Firefox asked me to download the latest version, 4.0. I clicked "install" but received a message that my Mac is running on an OS version that is too old. I checked Firefox to see which version Firefox 4 runs on and it says Mac OS 10.5. My Mac is running on OS 10.5.8. How can I get the latest version of Firefox to install? Thanks.

Beginning with Firefox 4, Macs must have an Intel x86 processor; your system is a PPC Mac.

The good news is that Firefox 3.6.24 (which you have installed) still supports the PPC Mac architecture. The bad news is that support for the Firefox 3.6.x series is likely to end in the first quarter of 2012.

FCP HD WONT INSTALL IN NEW MAC

Hi.
My old MAc died (logi board)I have been able to transfer most of my Final Cut files to my new hard drives. Ive updated quick time and my MAc OSX. I went in and repaired permissions in the new machine, but when I boot up the install disk for FCP HD, it will only allow me to install Live Type and Apple Loops. The box for FCP HD remains shaded, and wont allow me to click on it. I have deleted anything related to the old FCP installation, but still cant get FCP HD to install on my TIGER drive. I know I'm missing something. Please help.
Thanks again!

Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 Trial Wont Install on my Mac (OSX Lion)

Information about the problem:
I am trying to install a trial version of Adobe Photoshop CS5.1.
I have fully downloaded the trail via the Adobe Download Assistant. The file i now have is 'Photoshop_12_1_LS1.dmg'.
I can open the .dmg and go through the basic steps ready to install. I press install and wait for it to do its thing.
The install then freezes at any given point at any %. Sometimes the % will stay at a certain point and the time will increase with no progress. At one point i left the machine for the '8 minutes' it required and the time had increased to 60 minutes +.
I have noticed a trend with each time i have tried it (31 Times).
The installer always seems to freeze at the section when it is installing: Adobe Recommended Fonts or Adobe Required Fonts or sometimes Adobe Bridge CS5.5 or Adobe Extension Manager CS5.5.
Once the install is stuck, it locks up the whole system and i have no choice but to hold down the power button as the machine is unresponsive. I have tried the installation multiple times and still no luck.
In order to try and solve the problem myself, i have removed all custom fonts from the font book and what remains is the default fonts on the system. I have even tried installing the trial without all the extra extentions supplied before installing the trial and still the same problem occurs.
I am in need of this trial and i would appreciate any help i can get.
Thanks,
John

I have found a solution to this problem. Install the files in safe boot mode. Here is the how to guide:
Part One:
With past attempts or even previous versions of Adobe CS can be still lying around on your mac, in order to remove the bits and bobs needed in order for a clean install you need to download the 'CS5 Cleaner Tool' by Adobe. This can remove all previous version of CS right back to CS3. This could be the problem effecting you download. This tool can be download from here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/829/cpsid_82947.html
YOU MUST USE THIS TOOL BEFORE MOVING ON TO PART TWO.
Part Two:
To start up into Safe Mode (to Safe Boot), do this:
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).
(Source: Apple: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1455)
Part Three:
Now that you have let your machine boot up in Safe Boot.
    1. Locate the .dmg installation file. This can take a while to load, but be patient.
    2. Click to open the .dmg.
    3. Carry on with the installation as you normally would.
    4. Sit back and enjoy until its 100%.
Once it has installed you can now restart your machine and boot up as normal. Log in and then it should be there in your applications to use.
I have spent nearly 2 days myself trying to figure this out, and finally i have found a solution. I hope this helps anyone who has come across this problem themselves.
Good Luck,
John

Flash catalyst trial has downloaded but wont install on my mac os Lion. please help!!

flash catalyst downloaded fine but when i came to installing it, no luck, it wouldnt do it. I have seen online that their maybe be problems related to mac os lion. any ideas of solutions to resolve this? i click on the install box in the catalyst folder and it comes up with an error notice.. -1712 ... means nothing to me. I spoke to apple and they dont know either... please help.

When is it coming up with error -1712? Does this happen when invoking the installer or when trying to mount the DMG file?

Flash 9 wont install on my MAC!! HELP!!

Hi all-
Everytime I try to install Flash 9 on my MAC (non-Intel) I
get this weird error message:
Error message 1008:5,-5000
It then says that I don't have "Access Priveledge"
I have uninstalled Flash 8, but it still won't install. I
read that the only fix is to reload Tiger! Can that be true?? For
Flash 9? There has to be another way! Help!!
J

Download the offline installer here: http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/mac/install_flash_playe r_11_osx.dmg
If it won't download directly, right click and "Save as" - DO NOT mount the DMG ir run it yet!
Go to: Mac HD/Library/Internet Plugins
Trash the Flash Player.plugin file from there
Go to: Mac HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe
Trash the Flash Player folder (the whole folder)
Empty the trash
Reboot
Mount the DMG and run the installer.
BEFORE opening any Flash content in Safari, open Safari>Preferences, and check the Security tab to make sure "Allow all other plugins" is checked.

CS2 wont install on new Mac

When trying to instal CS2 on my new Mac, I keep getting 2 notices. the first states that I can't open HFSTest because Power PC applications are no longe supported. the 2nd notification states that my monitor and sublunch are no longer supported. what up with this?

CS2 only runs on PowerPC Macs or Intel Macs with earlier versions of the MacOSX (i.e. pre Lion).
New Macs use the Intel processor and the version of the MacOSX that they now run no longer supports CS2.
I'm afraid you have to start again as Adobe offer no upgrade route from CS2 as CS3 is the earliest version that qualifies.

Why wont install pse8 on mac?

I downloaded trial Photoshop Elements 8 ok and i use snow leopard and install screen freezes at "Preparing to Install" but after 2 hours it does nothing.
Any ideas why?

Hi,
Could you please attach the log files in the forum which can be found at this location:
Library\Logs\Adobe\Installers\
named as "Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 8.0 xx-xx-2009.log.gz" and "Uninstall Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 8.0.0.0 xx-xx-2009.log.gz"
Could you please also let us know if you have ever installed PSE 8 Beta build on the same system AND what all other Adobe products are installed on the machine?
I know this might not console you but PSE8 is working fine on may Snow Leopard machines and therefore the issue is not with the installer itself but with the conflicts happening on your machine. So please be patient and help us with the above information while we try to get you started.
Regards,
Ankush

Can't install on my samsung vibrant because of "content rating filter" even after I have allowed for install of non-market apps. Firefox website says incompatible as well and my android platform is a version above.

I have a samsung vibrant phone. I am running android eclair, I think its 2.1. I was trying to instal firefox. Linking from the web to the android market, I get "app not found msg." To link from the web, I changed my phone setting to allow apps from non-market sources. When I visit the firefox web page for android I get an "app not compatible with phone" msg. same msg for both regular and beta, but my phone is listed in the compatible phones list. Upon trying to install anyway, I get an "incompatible with content filter settings" msg. What does all of this mean and how can I change it?

"Content filter" is the Android Market's method for restricting certain applications that may provide access to "mature" content. You can disable content filtering in the settings of the Market app on your phone.

Installed successfully, But not able to open any website, says connection timed out.

I have installed firefox successfully. When i enter any website its status shows connecting, For eg. Connecting to gmail.com, but after some time it says connection timed out.
No problem with internet, i can open the same website with other browsers.
Please look at this. I faced the same with the 2 versions FireFox5.0 and 3.5
OS - Windows7 64 bit operating system.

Thank you for your help Steve! Unfortunately it is still not working. I have tried all day long ... please see attached the two error messages that I'm getting from InDesign alone. Do you have any further advise?
Thank you!
