Firefox Install Problems - Can anyone help me out?
Im not quite sure if I am posting this in the right place, so my apoligies of this is in the wrong part of the discussions.
Recently I downloaded Firefox to my iMac and have had no major problems. My problem is a small annoying one more than anything else. Every time I launch firefox I get a blue window to drag firefox to my applications folder, and the firefox "drive" shows up on the desktop. i just ignore dragging firefox to the applications folder as it is already there. I can use firefox with no issues. I just have to close out the window to drag the application and when i quit firefox eject the drive on the screen. A friend of mine had this happen on his iMac but cannot remember what he did to fix it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Are you launching this from the Dock? It sounds like you have somehow created an alias to the Firefox install .dmg on your Dock instead of to the application itself in your Applications folder. Try clicking on the application in the Apps folder. If it starts correctly from there then drag that to your Dock and remove the incorrect alias (right click or control click for extended menu).

hey guys,i tried to install the latest version of itunes but when i try to open it,it just comes up windows error 2 apple application support was not found,can anyone help me out and tell me what i need to do pls ?
If you run into the "another installation" message even after the reboot of the PC (which is an excellent idea by HTP ProXy), reregistering your Windows Installer Service is worth a try.
First, launch a command prompt as an administrator. In your Start search, type cmd then right-click on the cmd that comes up and select "Run as administrator".
At the command prompt:
Type %windir%\system32\msiexec.exe /unregister and hit enter.
Type %windir%\syswow64\msiexec.exe /unregister and hit enter.
Type %windir%\system32\msiexec.exe /regserver and hit enter.
Type %windir%\syswow64\msiexec.exe /regserver and hit enter.
Restart the PC and try another reinstalll. -

i m working in an organization where web-sense is installed to block all irrelevant sites, i have installed itunes but it does not run a window pops up with message 'itunes is not connected to the network' can anyone help me out?
There's a whole lot to read in your post, and frankly I have not read it all.
Having said that, this troubleshooting guide should help:

In particular, pay attention to the mobile device support sections near the bottom, assuming you have already done the items above it. -

Can anyone help me out? This happens when i try and submit an epub file, i haven't had this before. "iTunes producer error 3000 character content of element "file_name" invalid."
This is the full messageYou really need to put your codes between the
[\code] tags
see http://forum.java.sun.com/features.jsp#Formatting
for more infoCode tags might make it look a little better, but there's still too darn much code. We're volunteers, after all. It'd be a lot of work to review all of this stuff. Can you demonstrate your problem with something smaller? Learn out how to do a combo box with just a page or two and then appy that to your big problem. That's how I'd do it. - MOD -
I just got the iPhone 5. It's completely synced and working. All my contacts are loaded. However, caller ID is not working when I receive a call or a text. Can anyone help me out with this?
Well, assuming all of the above, Notifications, etc., it just might be time for a visit to the Apple tore genius center for a session with the techs. See if it is a fault in the hardware or just an iOS reinstall is the answer.
One more thing you could try, backup so you have a record of content, then restore to factory conditions be an Erase All Contents and Settings. Then restore from the backup you just made. That has helped some with WiFi problems, may be it would work with your problems.
But with that behavior of another app with problems, the geniuses looks like a less stressful thing to do. -

Hi there can anyone help me out. I have Apple TV and I am trying to connect wirelessly through a zyxel wireless hotspot gateway, I know a tad extreme but a friend had one free, anyway I can find the router but no Internet connection?
The only people who can possibly assist you with this is Apple Customer Relations, call your local Apple contact number and ask for Customer Relations then explain your situation clearly and politely (be firm but don't rant).
You might want to investiage what the local laws are regarding defective goods and 'fit for use' definitions on warranties etc. Consumer Protection can be a useful tool to use or bargain with if needed ... -

Can anyone help me out? My Iphone 4S's mic wont work after ios 6 upgrade
Can anyone help me out? My Iphone 4S's mic wont work when Im making a call and I can hear them, but when I turn on the speaker option, they can hear me. It wont work with Siri either. Can anyone give me any suggestions? I've already tried rebooting the phone. I tried doing a restore from backup but should i do a full restore? Thanks
Restore your device as NEW. Before you add any apps to it (other than the ones that come with iOS 6), try out the phone. If it still doesn't work, you'll need to go to Apple for phone replacement.

I have Windows 8 pro on my computer . I un-installed itunes on my computer to re-install itunes 7.1.1 Now the system will not allow the re-install. Can anyone help?
I have an HP Officejet Pro 7580 similar to the 8600 you have and after upgrading to Mountain Lion it wouldn't work. HP support site said download updates for Mountain Lion from App Store not their site so I went to software update but there were NO UPDATES FOR 10.8. Tried a million things and could not get printer to work. So I restored back to Lion figuring at least printer worked then only now I can't get it to work with old settings either. I am sick to death of claims by Apple and peripheral manufacturers that everything is compatible all you have to do is get updates well in this case THERE ARE NONE TO BE GOT and I don't have time to **** about trying to find 'work arounds'. There shouldnt be a need for work-arounds. Unless the updates are ready DONT release the new OS. You shouldn't have to be an IT tech to make basic things like printing work. I see also the HP 8600 is even sold by appstore so there is no reason why it shouldn't work with minimum fuss.
