Firefox download will not complete update

when I click on any new version of firefox to download it takes forever (Ive checked days later and it's still downloading) and it never completes the download. Therefore I have refused to update to latest version for fear its never going to end.

If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then best is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox application and save the disk image file to the desktop
*Firefox 24.0: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
*Trash the current Firefox application (open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re-)install
*Install the new version that you have downloaded

Your personal data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox profile folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data when you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

  • My iPhone adobe reader for iOS6 is stuck in update state and will not complete updating any ideas?

    My iPhone 4 adobe reader for iOS6 is stuck in update state and will not complete updating should I uninstall and reinstall the app?

    The update process is handled entirely by iOS and unfortunately, there isn't anything the Reader can do during this process to prevent "stuck updates". Generally, we don't recommend uninstalling unless you have to because uninstalling will delete all of the PDF's in your documents!
    Here are some steps that work for most users:
    1.       Make sure wifi and/or cellular data are turned on       
    2.       Test to be sure your internet connection is working by opening safari and browsing to a website (like www.adobe.com).
    3.       Single tap the app’s icon on the home screen and it will pause the download. Now go back to the iTunes Apps store, switch to the “Updates” screen and click “Update” to resume the download.
    4.       If this doesn't work,  go to Settings -> iTunes & App Stores and tap the Apple ID to sign-out. Restart the iPad, go back to Settings -> iTunes Apps Store and sign-in. Tap the waiting icon to update the app.
    Please let me know if this helps!

  • Fash Player Plug-in 11.7.700.202 download will not complete.

    When I updated to Firefox 21.0, I found that Flash Player Plug-in 11.7.700.202 was not working. Videos would not play. Had no problem before the Firefox upgrade. I downloaded a new copy of the player but the download would not complete. A error message (only a single instance of this application can run) appeared. I used Adobe Flash Player's uninstall to delete all Flash files. Then I tried downloading Flash 11.7.700.202 again. Same error message appeared and would not finish the download. Chrome videos work with no problem. Is there a hidden Flash file somewhere that's conflicting? Is this a Mozilla bug? I looked at all the support topics and didn't find anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    It seems you mean "installing" instead of "downloading". Downloading means saving a file from a web page to your computer. Installing means launching the setup file and completing the steps described on-screen. If downloading fails, then there's no point in trying to install the application, because the setup file is unusable.
    That particular error message means you have two Flash Player installers running simultaneously. According to the Adobe knowledgebase, simply clicking the OK button closes one of them and allows the installation to continue.

    3. Exit all browsers, and other applications that may be using Flash Player, like Media Player Classic Home Cinema.
    <br>4. Run the uninstaller and complete the process.
    <br>5. Restart Windows (click the Windows logo orb on the taskbar, hover the mouse over the arrow next to the Shut Down button, then from the menu choose Restart).
    <br>6. Run the Flash Player installer for Firefox and complete the process.
    <br>7. If needed, also run the Flash Player installer for Internet Explorer.
    <br>8. Verify that the installation was successful on the following page.

  • IPod will not complete updating

    After installing iTunes version 7 (and subsequently v 7.0.1) my 60BG iPod (v1.2 installed) will not complete the updating cycle while syncing. Everything appeared fine after the first updating attempts and iTunes recognizes the device after cradling the unit, but the update sequence continues hours on end, with no indication of files being exchanged in the status bar. I can abort the update by ejecting the iPod, but then all my play lists and Podcasts disappear from the iPod’s menu (fortunately my core library remains).
    I reset the iPod and reinstalled v1.2, again with no issues with the initial update of my 5,200+ songs, but all subsequent update attempts seem to hang indefinitely.
    Any ideas? I have already assigned a new drive letter (i:) for the device.

    I have the same problem. A brand new G5 Tower, OS 10.4.8, brand new 30GB iPod Video and updated iTunes, 7.0.2. I keep getting stuck at song #112 when both iTunes and iPod just "stall". The flashing Do Not Disconnect continues to flash on the iPod, iTunes continues to indicate "Updating" - but nothing is happening. Earlier, during the 1st update attempt, the clock also froze on the G5. I tried force quitting iTunes when it stalled and couldn't. I ended up just disconnecting the iPod from the USB hub and then all **** broke loose. EVERYTHING FROZE - could not get out of anything, G5 would not reboot and began making this incredible noise - a loud fan came on and I thought it was going to blow up! The G5 is so quiet, but it appeared to be in some major type of distress with this fan just roaring. Eventually had to unplug from the power source and shut the whole thing down. I'm trying to upload some songs again but it's stuck at this "stall" stage again.
    ANY IDEAS FROM ANYONE????????

  • Cannot update iTunes in Windows 7 - download will not complete.

    When my software updater alerts me that itunes needs to be updated and I try to download the latest version, I keep running into problems with the download. This happens regardless of internet connection speed, other programs running, etc. The download simply stops halfway through and eventually I get an error message saying the download wasn't completed. I've tried going through both iTunes ("check for updates) and my windows software updater. Suggestions??

    perfect, thanks.
    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. 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?

  • The latest update for ITunes will not completely update. It tells me to try manually but how do I do that?

    I'm trying to find out why the latest ITunes update will not update completely on my computer. It goes so far and then it stops with an error message saying to try installing it manually. I don't know how to do this. All other updates have been ok. This one is 11.1.
    Thank you for your help.

  • Will not complete update, automaticly or manualy. Tries everytime I start up and takes about fifteen minutes and tell me it will not work and t try manual. That does not work either and I cannot delete it.l

    What do you want to know? I have no more details

    I found someone with an install disk and ran Repair Disk. It said that the disk was ok. I also ran repair permissions and one of the lines was a warning and said: SUID file System/Library/Coreservices/Finder.app/Contents/Resources/OwnerGroupTool" has been modified and will not be repaired. After fixing all that I could with that, I restarted and my computer showed minor improvements, but is not functioning anywhere near the optimal speed it was a while ago.
    However, I did download iDefrag and checked the defragmentation of the disk. Over 50% of the disk was fragmented. I'm thinking of burning a bootable cd and running idefrag demo or drive genius 2 demo off of that. would that be a good plan
    thank you

  • Itunes store download will not complete!

    I bought The Amazing Spiderman movie from the store but the download won't complete - it's about 90% done, and shows as "processing" in the itunes app on my 4s. I've been able to download it to my MB pro, but I can't seem to clear it from my phone. I've tried syncing, but this makes no difference. It's been sat there "processing" for about a week now.
    Help!

    How old are the purchases, and if they are old purchases that used to play ok then have you amended the tracks end times (e.g. by selecting/highlighting them in your library and doing control-I  on them) so that they don't play all the way through ?
    If the music is still in your country's store then you should be able to delete those tracks from your iTunes library and redownload them by  clicking on your account name at the top right of the iTunes screen and clicking ‘Purchased’ on the popup.

  • My Ipod 4th gen. will not update. Download will not complete. Help!

    In the past i have had no problems updating my ipod touch 4th gen but recently i cannot update it. I will click update and the loading bar will load all the way, then it will say that it is processing the file. It will say this for a minute or 2 and then give me an error code: 3259 telling me to check my network connection (which works perfect) or try again later. I have tryed reseting my ipod, i cannot restore my ipod because it wants to update it and then restore it. I have not been able to update for over a month and i have missed 2 updates due to this problem. What do i do?

    How much it costs depends on who you have replace the battery whether that be Apple or a 3rd party repair company.  Here are Apple's prices.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/
    It would likely be much cheaper to have a 3rd party company do it instead.  One company I have heard a lot of good things about is iResq.  For others, do a simple Google search for "iPod battery repair" and you should get a plethora of results.

    I don't believe Radio Shack does offer that service.  Sorry.
