Firefox 5 won't work with Mac OS 10.4, but I can't afford to upgrade the system; how can I keep using Firefox 4?

This computer is an eMac running the Tiger operating system. Rather than upgrading the entire system, which is costly and time-consuming, is there simply a way to keep using the previous version of Firefox?

Firefox 3.6.28 is the latest version of Firefox that works on 10.4. [[Firefox no longer works with Mac OS X 10.4 or PowerPC processors]] You unfortunately have a PPC processor, so the only way you can use modern software is to purchase a new PC. Or, you can try using [http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/ http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/]. But please note that you will be using a community project that may or may not work.

Skype 2.8 won't work with Mac OS 10.4.11

I'm using the first gen Macbook Intel running Mac OS X 10.4.11 and I'm trying to install Skype 2.8. The program downloaded but when I tried to install it, it gave me an error "This version of Skype is not compatible with this version of Mac OS X". According to Skype's website the minimum requirement is 10.3. Any help will be great.

I have an Airport Extreme Base Station and have recently upgraded to Mountain Lion. Now airport utility won't work with my base station so I bought a Time Capsule. For the life of me I can't make the substitution work and only see a blinking amber light.

The Utility transferred all of the AE's settings, so I still have to change the password, which leaves me with only 2 other questions, I think:
1) I assume it's just a matter of using the Utility, entering a stronger password and checking for it to be remembered in Keychain Access. But do I have to change the password for each individual unit-- the TC, the Extreme and both Expresses-- or will changing it just for the TC alone work for the entire network?
Resetting the password you will need to do for each device... the utility cannot even see those old units.
So you will have to do it for each one.. think it through.. because as you change passwords the others will lose connection.. so start from the express which are wireless extending .. change those first.. and go back up the chain.. as each one changes it will drop off the network.. until you reach extreme and change that. Then you might need to reboot the whole network to get everything talking again. If something goes wrong.. just pluck that one out of the mix and plug in ethernet.. reset and redo the setup. That is my preferred method anyway.. do everything in isolation one by one. By ethernet and then nothing goes wrong.
2) Who's the treasonous SOB who spilled the beans to you about the ICBM in my back yard?!?
N.Korean hackers.
[Edit] Whoops-- one more question: I want to partition the TC's disk, but Disk Utility doesn't see it. What do I need to do?
You cannot partition a network disk. And apple provided no tools for it in the TC itself. You can pull the disk out and partition it but that voids your warranty. (although done with care who is to know).
Look at Q3 here.

Mixing TM and data on the TC is worth planning carefully. They don't necessarily sit happily together.

When I click on iPhoto icon I get a box that reads "The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto." Whether I hit Quit or Upgrade the problem is not fixed. Any suggestions? Yes, I have tried Command Option iPhoto..no luck.

When I click on iPhoto icon I get a box that reads "The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto." Whether I hit Quit or Upgrade the problem is not fixed. Any suggestions? Yes, I have tried Command Option iPhoto..no luck. I think I may have hit Upgrade the first time. I really need this to be fixed ASAP. Thanks for your help.

Assuming iPhoto 09 or later:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Thank you for your help!

Did try to restore "as new device" without using the backup after that?
Did you try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo coes back again?

A Firefox version that works with MAC X, Version 10.5 running on a MAC Book Pro G4

My harddrive has been replaced recently and when I tried to download a firefox version. I am told that the new version won't work with this computer; a mobile Powerbook Mac Pro, 15 inch, G4 processor @ 867 MHZ the operating system is 10.5.8. Is there an older version available that will work with this hardware and OS?

Beginning with Firefox 4, Macs must have an Intel x86 processor (which you do NOT have; yours is a PPC Mac) '''''and''''' OSX 10.5 or higher
*System Requirements: [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/4.0/system-requirements/index.html Firefox 4] [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/5.0/system-requirements/index.html Firefox 5] [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/6.0/system-requirements/index.html Firefox 6] [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/7.0/system-requirements/index.html Firefox 7] [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/8.0/system-requirements/index.html Firefox 8]
The good news is that Firefox 3.6.24 still supports OSX 10.4 and Macs with 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.

*Also see --> http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Installing+Firefox+on+Mac
You can try the third-party product '''''TenFourFox''''' that supports PPC Macs. Firefox 8 version of '''''TenFourFox''''' is available. The product is based on Firefox released versions. All support is provided by the developer, not by this site:

Firefox no longer working with Mac OSX 10.4.11

i'm using Mac OSX 10.4.11 and Firefox 3.6.12. As i understand it any of ur upgrades no longer work with this computer system. ( I tried to upgrade last week and ur site said upgrades no available gfor my platform version. Last week every time i conducted a search (default Google) i was redirected to http://search.creativecommons.org/?q=crossword+puzzles&sourceid=Mozilla-search.what gives? Have I been hijacked? also sites that I use daily are clipped and entire pages are smaller than usual . see www.shockwave.com
If u are no longer supporting Mac users, please let us know in advance or at least post it on ur site. Can no longer use Firefox...

When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Cmd+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
(You also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
Firefox > Preferences > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now")
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site:
Tools > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
If you open about:crashes, you should get links to online crash reports. You could post some of the crash IDs for review by volunteers here.
Given the timing, another issue might be some ads or media in the page. There are some add-ons to block such things...

IChat using AIM account suddenly won't work with MAC accounts

Hello,
Our company is all Mac and uses ichat on a daily basis for employees to communicate around the world. I have a user in Canada who is experiencing a perplexing problem.
Until recently, her iChat text ability worked just fine, whether it was to another user with an AIM or Mac ID. She is using an AIM ID. However, there are now 2 users that have Mac ID's that she is unable to receive or send text messages from. If they send her a message, it shows she has an incoming message but she cannot open it. Nor can she send them a message. She can however, video chat with them. I thought at first it had something to do with her having an AIM account and them having Mac accounts, but she is still able to send and receive messages from all other users with Mac accounts.
I have gone through all her settings that I can think of; nothing is blocked. I asked her if she noticed the problem after an update or something like that. She thinks she was prompted to do a software update shortly before the problem started, but she's not 100%. She's on a MacBook running Mac OS X 10.5.8 and iChat 4.0.2 (604).
Any insight into fixing this would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,
Check the two @Mac names are not set to use Encryption.

Some people are confused by what to do with a Firefox download. What do you do after you downloaded it? What do you mean by "I can't run it"?
After you download Firefox you should have a ".dmg" file in your Downloads folder (probably in your Dock). Click on the Download folder in the Dock, then in the resulting window click on the Firefox icon. A "virtual volume" should mount and a Firefox window should open. In that window drag the Firefox icon into the icon of the Application folder. Once the copying is complete, you can eject the Firefox volume any of several ways. You can also trash the downloaded Firefox ".dmg" file. At this point you can launch Firefox by opening your computer's Application folder, locating Firefox, and double-clicking on it.

When i try to open firefox i keep getting a message that says that it is still running and i need to close it before i can access it. i have rebooted the system checked profiles and cannot use firefox - what should i do?

i keep getting the same error message which prevents me from opening firefox. how can i rectify it?
Message: Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system.

Did you find the Firefox profile folder?
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
"Application Data" in XP/Win2K and "AppData" in Vista/Windows 7 are hidden folders, use %APPDATA% in the File name field 
Go to: Control Panel > Folder Options > "View" tab > under "Hidden files and folders", select "Show hidden files and folders"
