Firefox has apparently downloaded an update which asks me if i want to install every time I open it, but every time i click yes it fails saying I have another firefox open but I don't!! no attempts to install the update have worked, i've tried a few. What can be done or how can I ensure all firefox's are shut??

You can try "Reset Download Actions": http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions
You can also try "Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults" on the [[Safe mode]] start window.

  • Brushes in Photoshop CS6 stop working, what can be done?

    Seems every day I am resetting my brushes in PS CS6 by shutting down the program and restarting it while holding the ctrl+alt+shift keys.
    I work at a school so we are networked and I have a thoery that it may be a user profile setting for when the user logs onto the network only because this doesn't happen on my personal computer which has no network to log onto.
    Sometimes I have to reset the brushes several times to get it working. And even after I do that after a few hours I may need to do it again, if the program was left on. My computer is hard wired to the network so it's not a wireless issue.
    Anybody else having these issues? And what can be done about it?

    Nothing. The iTunes Match service does not respect the checked/unchecked state of a song. ALL music is scanned and made available in the cloud.

  • My ipad has completely blacked out but the sounds still work what can i do

    Hello I have an ipad that has completely went hay wire and and the screen has completely turned black. But when I turn the ipad on the sounds work and everything. Can you guys or gals please help me out by answering my question of how to make my ipad have color again and not be completely black.

    Try to reset it. Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot (presuming it does)

  • HT4623 my new i phone 5 say the sim card u inserted i this i phone in not sported but i put in another one the sim card work what can i do for this

    i buy anew i phone 5 from ksa from karfor market to use in egypt
    when i insert the sim inside i the i phon dosnt work and say the the sim card inserted in this i phone is not supported
    so i try the sim in another i phone it work
    what can i do for this proplem

    The iphone where the sim didn't work is probably locked to a carrier.  You need to contact the carrier of that phone.  If it's unlocked, then I'm not sure what the problem is, given that the sim works in another phone.

  • HT201328 Want to go overseas and need my virgin mobile iPhone 5 unlocked so I can use it in europe.  Called VM and they said it can't be done.  That doesn't make any sense.. What can be done?

    Have Virgin Mobile iPhone 5 and they said it can't be unlocked.  Reason to get it unlocked is so I can use the phone when travelling in Europe.   This is crazy because I also payed for the phone in full...  Also, what happens if you move to a region in the U.S. and service is bad...Your stuck with an expensive brick.. Any way to get it unlocked?

    Not all carriers unlock their phones.  They are under no legal obligation to do so in many places.

  • I downloaded Yosemite and now my iPhoto has a bar across it and will not open. I need to update to the latest version. The app store says the latest version is not available in the Canadian Store. What can I do.

    I downloaded Yosemite and now my iPhoto has a bar across it and will not open. I need to update to the latest version. The app store says the latest version is not available in the Canadian Store. What can I do.

    Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
    If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
    Install the App from the App Store.
    Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

  • Firerfox has stopped opening new windows when I ask it to; why is this and what can be done to regain this option?

    Firerfox has stopped opening new windows when I ask it to; why is this and what can be done to regain this option?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == not sure - about 2 weeks ago maybe. I recently upgraded to vn 3.6.8

    This is a workstation first off, right? 60 lbs or so?:
    And you have 10.7.2, if not why not?
    Quad core 2.8GHz? 3 x 2GB RAM or more?
    Consider new Mac Pro comes with 1TB drive 50% is actually a lot. Most users off load non system stuff to one of the other 4 hard drive bays.
    As for youtube I do read and saw threads when Lion came out. Lion does not support Rosetta aka PPC/PowerPC code of any kind, plug-ins, drivers and software all. Check into Lion Community?

  • My existing purchases have INSTALL next to them, but when I try click on them it says "There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (100)". I've tried restarting, clearing all caches, buying and downloading new apps (which works). Any idea

    Hi - in the app store, I've logged in with no problem, but when I go into my existing purchases and have INSTALL next to everything I've bought, and try to click on them it says;
    "There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (100)".
    I've tried restarting, clearing all caches, buying and downloading new apps (which works), and also buying and downloading more music from iTunes too (so I update all T&C's etc too, and update all payment info). But nothing seems to solve this. Any ideas?? Thanks a lot, Greg

    - How did you dlete stuff from the iPod? If you have a 1G or 2G iPod and deleted the stuff by going to Settings>Genera.>Reset>Erase aall contents and settings without being connected to a power source, the battery dies before he erase was comleted since it can take hour.
    - In any event try the following:
    - Connect to a chaging sour for three hours.
    - Reset the iPod and then connect to the computer and try to restore va iTunes.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next try placing the iPod in recovery moe and then try to restore. For recovery mode:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    - Last try DFU made and restore.

  • Does not let me add text to my verizon website. This adding text feature works well on internet explorer. I can click on add text, the box opens up but I can not type in the box for some unknown reason. What can be done to correct this problem ...

    does not let me add text to my verizon website. This adding text feature works well on internet explorer. I can click on add text, the box opens up but I can not type in the box for some unknown reason. What can be done to correct this problem ...

    I didn't search before, but "you are not alone" (the thread [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/747424 In Verizon's Sitebuilder for webpages, I can not edit text boxes when using Firefox. I do not have this problem if I use Internet Explorer. Is there a setting I can change in Firefox to correct this problem?] has 18 votes for "I have this problem, too).
    I can only guess about the reason... Firefox works with many websites' "rich text" editors, but ones that haven't been updated for five years may assume that Firefox is the old Netscape browser and use scripting techniques that don't work in Firefox.
    If Verizon has a different "basic" or HTML editor that you can tolerate using, you could try that. It might not be subject to the same incompatibilities.
    If I someday get a Verizon account, I will surely be looking into this further, but for now, it's hard to suggest anything else.

  • I have no idea what my pocket has apparently downloaded today while I was at work but I now can't here any tones on my iPhone 4...has this happened to anyone ive tried restarting it and it worked for a second then a thing popped up on my screen and notgin

    I have no idea what my pocket has apparently downloaded today while I was at work but I now can't here any tones on my iPhone 4...has this happened to anyone ive tried restarting it and it worked for a second then a thing popped up on my screen and nothing again

    Ok mate no need to talk to me like im a complete idiot, and no it is not on silent im not that stupid. There is a message pop up on my screen saying 'this accessory is not optimized for this iPhone' and underneith 'you may experience noise caused by cellular interference and a decrease in cellular signal strength' and under that only one option to press which says dismiss. I cant find anything in my settings or applications and have tried resetting my phone 3 times and still nothing only plays ringtones ever now and then wont play music from ipod, youtube or other applications.

  • I have iphone 4 os 7.04, tried updating to 7.1, but continously shows error that I dont have working internet connection, though I have one and tried via wifi and 3g same error comes. The update has been downloaded, agree pressed but no further??

    I have iphone 4 os 7.04, tried updating to 7.1, but continously shows error that I dont have working internet connection, though I have one and tried via wifi and 3g same error comes. The update has been downloaded, the page shping license agreement comes. As soon as I press agree, it asks me to wait for verification and then this error that there is no working internet connection comes, even though I have one and it works fine

    Try these steps as needed:
    Reset phone: press both the home and power buttons, releasing when the Apple logo appears
    Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.  You will have to re-enter WiFi passwords
    Connect phone to iTunes on your computer and update using iTunes
