Firefox is about 80 percent downloaded onto my new iMac computer and will not finish.

I have a new iMac computer and tried to download Firefox. It downloaded about 80 percent and stopped. what should i do?

Are you updating or downloading the full version?
If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest 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 program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
* Firefox 7.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

  • In trying to download Firefox 4.0, it "paused" at 37% of the way and will not finish the download. Why?

    I could not open NY Times articles today because Firefox would not let me. I reported this twice. I received a window telling me to update Firefox ~~ and I'm trying to do this. As I said, Firefox download4.0.dmg paused and will not finish the download. It's been over 10 minutes and I don't know how to proceed.

    You see the orange (on Linux gray) Firefox button if the Menu Bar is hidden, so you need to hide the Menu bar to get the new appearance.<br />
    If you need to access the hidden Menu bar then press F10 or hold down the Alt key to make the Menu Bar appear temporarily.<br />
    You can place the Tab Bar on top.
    * View > Toolbars : [ ] Menu Bar
    * View > Toolbars : [X] Tabs on Top

  • Help - I just purchased CS6 and downloaded onto the new iMac I just bought. I cannot get it to open

    I just purchased CS6 and downloaded onto the new iMac I just bought. I cannot get it to open. I think I may have purchased a windows version in error.  When I clicked on "DesignStandard_CS6_LS16.exe I am told the application can't open because Microsoft Windows applications are not supported on OS X.  Does anyone know how to contact Adobe directly?  I keep going around and around on their site and have found no e-mail or phone number to contact them to get this straightened out.  Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks so much out there for any assistance!

    Trying to contact Adobe over the (long) weekend is not likely to get you very far.

  • The computer says that my flash players is out of date, so I tried to update,   The download starts by stops at 25% and will not continue.

    the computer says that my flash players is out of date so I tried to update.  The download starts by stops at 25% and will not continue.

    Had the same problem (stalling at 25% or 30%).
    This worked for me:
    1.     Reboot computer or use Activity Monitor to force quit any prior Adobe Flash installation process that may be still running
    2.     Download Adobe Flash update using this link (assuming you are using Safari or Firefox): Flash Player for Safari and Firefox - NPAPI 
    3.     Mount flash player by clicking on flash drive icon on desktop
    4.     Right click on Flash file
    5.     Choose 'Show Package Contents'
    6.     Open 'Contents' then 'Resources'
    7.     Run file 'Adobe Flash Player.pkg'
    8.     Reboot computer.

  • When I close firefox it warns me that I am closing multiple tabs. and will not let me save them. the only option is cancel or OK.

    This just started. When I close firefox it warns me that I am closing multiple tabs. and will not let me save them. the only option is cancel or OK. When I say OK and restart Firefox all my tabs are going:-( This happens every time now. I know how to get my old tabs back but every time I close Firefox it always warns me that I am closing multiple tabs.
    Tanks for helping me get me Firefox working correctly again

    Do not use "Clear history when Firefox closes" to clear the "Browsing History".
    *Tools > Options > Privacy: History: [X] Clear history when Firefox closes > Settings
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Clear+Recent+History
    Using the "Show my windows and tabs from last time" setting is a more reliable way to restore session data.
    * Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

  • Why can't I get my apps off my iPhone to download to my new iMac computer?

    Why can't I get my apps on my iPhone and iPad to transfer across to my new iMac computer?

    Becky ...
    Apps that run on the iPhone and iPad are iOS based. Apps that run on your Mac are designed for the Mac OS X. Two different operating systems.
    In other words, apps that run on your iPhone and iPad cannot run on your Mac and vice versa.

  • Movie rental froze during download and will not finish downloading or let me reorient it?

    I rented a movie on iTunes for my iPad and began watching the movie. I needed to pause to goto work, but when ingot home the movie rental would not open. I went into iTunes and it showed that it needed to download. It downloaded till the end where it says processing,but then froze there. My movie rental counted down and then ended,but it still shows as downloading in iTunes and will not let me clear it or recent the movie.

    I have this same issue.  It has happened with two movies I rented.  Actually, I watched most of both movies but they are both still on my iPhone despite the 24-hour expiration.  Both movies are frozen at the "processing" step.

  • Downloaded dw to new laptop but it will not open

    bought a new laptop as old one died. Logged into the cloud but dw sub is not showing on acc. downloaded dw says its downloaded but no desktop icon and can not open it. Tried all browsers etc. is the quickest way to phone up and cancell old sub then just start afresh

    I'm not sure why you'd be opening a browser to try to open Dreamweaver. If it is showing as downloaded and installed in the Creative Cloud Application, you would need to create an icon on your desktop from the program file itself (not sure why Adobe apps don't put them on the desktop automatically).
    Go to Program Files (x86) > Adobe > Adobe Dreamweaver CC > Dreamweaver.exe
    On a Mac, it would be in your Applications folder.

  • Syncing downloaded movies from itunes to ipad which then suddenly stops and will not finish the sync stating itunes could not copy  "name of movie" to the ipad because the file could not be written. restored the ipad to factory settings, reinstalled itune

    I have had to format my PC running windows 7, and reset my ipad 1 to factory settings, i then installed latest itunes on the PC authorised the PC and re downloaded several movies via itunes previous purchases, all was well until i tried to sync the ipad to the PC, only some of the movies synced onto the ipad, otheres stalled the sync stating itunes could not copy  "name of movie" to the ipad because the file could not be written. I have to pull the plug on the ipad just to get itunes to unfreeze, but it still will not sync these movies. and one help

    Hi
    I was having the same issue with music and movies but it had been ok before. The sync would freeze on a random file and then i had to take out the USB cable to clear it. After trying all sorts of things i saw someone mentioning about Anti virus and firewalls. I am using McAfee so i disabled it as a test. After this i could sync music and movies without issue!!!!! So in my case the firewall/anti virus was causing a problem. McAfee updates itself a lot so I am guessing something has happened in a recent update that impacted iTunes.I am not sure if this kind of thing is also causing your problem but it sounds very familiar.
    Hope this helps.

  • TS2972 I can see the song titles in itunes shared library on my new imac  but songs will not play. I have a pc with wifi network that the main music library is on. tried saving songs from pc to an external drive then to new mac but thats not working eithe

    attempted to transfer itunes music from pc to new imac. didn't work. apple suggest using sharing method. main library of music is on pc. did those steps and shared library shows up on mac but when you click on the song to play it doesn't play or maybe ther is no content? any suggestions?

    Hi there,
    It sounds like your purchased content is not transfering via a flash drive. It may be easier to re-download this contnet directly from iTunes. Take a look at the article below for mor information.

  • Brand new iMacs with Lion will not read DVD-R

    Our business has just purchased 3 x brand new iMacs (3.4Ghz) pre-loaded with OSX Lion 10.7.2 and NONE of them will read a DVD-R containing important files I need to access. However, the trusty 2 year old iMac running Snow leopard sees the files instantly....what's wrong with Lion...?
    My 2 year old MacBook pro was updated with Lion a few months ago and hey, it stopped reading DVD-R's....how interesting....! It can't be ALL of the superdrives failing, so it's obviously a fault with the OS...seems to be a VERY common problem, so what's the problem in getting it fixed?

    Contact Apple Service, iMac Service or Apple's Express Lane. Do note that if you have AppleCare's protection plan and you're within 50 miles (80 KM) of an Apple repair station, you're eligible for onsite repair since yours is a desktop machine.
