Firefox keeps on telling me to update, even though I know I updated.

On help, when it checks for updates it tells me I'm on the latest one, but everywhere else (such as Devientart or Mozilla Startpage) it tells me that I need to update. I'm sure I updated to, and I can't access certain pages without being on the latest browser.

Probably you are updated to the latest. Your user agent is corrupted by Fast Browser Search (FBSMTWB) and that identifies you as Firefox/3.0.19
see your user agent:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.0.19) Gecko/2010031422 Firefox/3.0.19 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729) FBSMTWB

I'm having a problem where Firefox keeps asking for my Amazon password, even though I tell Firefox NOT to remember this password. In Firefox options, Amazon is clearly listed as a site for which not to save passwords.

Do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the "Site Preferences"

Firefox keeps asking to authenticate to kerebos even though it is no longer

firefox keeps asking to authenticate to kerebos even though it is no longer using the xserve as a proxy, do i have to reset something in firefox or delete something so it works with a new windows proxy? can't seem to get past this as i can't authenticate as it is no longer using that proxy, so just keeps popping up all the time with cannot contact any kdc for requested realm . There must be a way to reset firefox to not look for kerebos? any ideas would be greatly appreciated?

Hi
When the Kerberos login window appears just click cancel. Firefox should then use the next authentication mechanism it can or it won't bother if that's all there was. You can 'reset' Firefox by removing the Firefox folder from /Users/home/Library/Application Support. Relaunch the application afterwards.
Don't trash the moved folder as you may want to reinstate the Bookmarks.html? If you do it should be fairly obvious to you as to what you need to do. If you don't want the bookmarks trash the folder.

ITunes wants to download new iOS update even though iPhone has already updated.

I updated my iPhone 5 to 7.1.2 through my phone settings. I connect it to iTunes so I can restore my phone because I like doing so to get a little bit of storage space back every now and then. Once I click Restore, it says iTunes wants to download the 7.1.2 update. Now my question is why does it want to download it when it says that my phone is already updated to 7.1.2. This is very tedious because the download shows up to at least five hours. My iTunes is updated to most recent one as well. I just want to be able to restore my phone without having to download this 7.1.2 update even though my phone is already at 7.1.2. Any help would be appreciated and thank you.

I've managed to log in - reset everything to English - and run a backup - which of course took ten minutes and then gave me an error -1 code at the end.
All of my apps seem to be sitting on my imac itunes but they are not sitting on my ipad anymore.
Going to try to sync one of them over to my ipad but I suspect that all of the content in them is probably gone....

Pages says its updating even though there are no updates

My macbook pro won't open pages or numbers. It says they are updating but there were no updates available.
Restarting doesn't help.

Hello Nancy,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with Pages and Numbers on your iMac. I have a couple of suggestions to get this working.
First, I recommend checking to see if the update was interrupted. Use the steps in this article:
Mac App Store: How to resume interrupted downloads
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4485
If you do not see any updates to resume, I recommend force quitting the Mac App Store and then trying to open Pages and Numbers. Use these steps:
Press Command-Option-Esc, then select the unresponsive app from the Force Quit window that appears, and click Force Quit.

In addition to my home page, every time I start Firefox a tab opens with notifacation of an updated addon. Why does this tab continue to appear even though there is no updated version of the addon?

Do you mean the "Form autocomplete" feature?

I deleted sessionstore.js it worked once but the issue re-occured afterwards. I don't have the file user.js.

Make sure that Firefox closes properly to prevent Session Restore from reopening those tabs.
Use "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: Firefox > Quit Firefox; Linux: Firefox/File > Quit) to close Firefox if you are currently doing that by clicking the close X on the Firefox title bar.
You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder that store session data.
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Multiple_profile_files_created
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost and you will have to recreate them (make a note or bookmark them if possible).
You can leave the sessionstore.bak file with the time stamp appended that Firefox creates automatically in case of updating.
There is software like Advanced SystemCare with its Surfing Protection feature that can protect files in the Firefox profile folder against changes.
If you have such software then check the settings or uninstall this software.

How can I completely delete an app, so it won't even be listed in the app store under purchased items? And I will stop being prompted to make updates even though I've removed it from my iPad?

Once an app is deleted from an iOs device, you will no longer be prompted for updates. Update alerts only occur for apps curently installed.
Purchases can be hidden (but not completely deleted) from the purchased list, but only using itunes on a computer.

App-store locks to one of several users even though app to be updated is a system app

The app-store locks to one of several users even though app to be updated is a system app avalable to all users. That is to say that the signin user name text box is auto entrered and grayed so it can't be changed. I assume that the last user to update it is the user that is entered automaticly. How do you unlock it and prevent it from happening again?

Will not update even though i tapped update all

My ipad will not update even though I tapped update all. any suggestions, thanks

Is your payment information current for your Apple ID? Even though updates are free, your account may not allow updates if it has an issue like an expired credit card, or an updated password that you have not yet entered into the device's iTunes Store account settings.

Lync photo not updated even AD Profile is already updated

Hi Gurus,
I have similar issues with others in the forum which photo in lync client is not updated even though the its already changed in Active Directory. The others said we have to do this step :
1. Run Update-csaddressbook
2. Delete cache files ( ex : [email protected] )
I did those steps but still have no luck on the issues. Is there anyone have this experience or have any solutions for this issues. Thank you very much.
Regards,
Maliq

I agree with Johan...
What Exchange server are you on?
First run Update-CsUserDatabase - this sync FE database with AD info
Running with -verbose will post that replication will take place in 5 minutes..
Then run Update-CSAddressbook - This update the FE address book with the Info from its own Database
Once again this will tell you it will begin replicating in 5 minutes...
After 10 minutes you should be able to clear the cached files from the client and restart lync ...
Here's a script a created to clear teh cached files on a client system, this should be run as teh standard user, as it grabs teh logge don users creds and clears the directory according to the logged on user..
Save as a batch, on a network share accessible by everyone and run away safe time!
@echo off
:Start
echo.
rem ###### Check if Lync is running, exit if it is... #####
tasklist /fi "IMAGENAME eq lync.exe" | find "lync.exe" >nul
If %errorlevel%==0 goto LyncIsRunningError
rem ###### Grab logged on user info, and remove Lync cache files, All of them! ######
for /f "tokens=2 delims=\" %%a in ('wmic computersystem get username ^| findstr /v "UserName"') do @set username=%%a
set uname=%username: =%
If Exist "C:\Users\%uname%\appdata\local\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Lync\" rmdir "C:\Users\%uname%\appdata\local\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Lync\" /S /Q
echo Clearing Lync 2013 Address Books... Done!
echo.
echo Sign back into Lync 2013 to download the current address book.
goto End
:LyncIsRunningError
echo ERROR: Lync found to be running, closing all instances!
taskkill /f /im lync.exe
taskkill /f /im UCMapi.exe
echo Done, waiting 5 seconds and trying again.
timeout 5
echo.
goto Start
:End
And do you have any idea of difficult it is to place a cmd output into a variable in BATCH scripting?! redic!
No it will say it can't remove a certain folder in the cached location if the user has outlook running... i didn't no script to close outlook for it doesn't get effect, or it still works either way..
I'm also going to add that you go onto the FE server and check the attribute on user contactcard to ensure that the DisplayADPhoto attribute is set to True..
Logon onto FE server - open powershell - and user the export-csuserdata command with the -legacy option to export as an xml file and then open the xml in IE and search for that attribute...

HT4463 I got I tune gift cards...I'd like to use them purchasing other items at apple store...BUT they appear geared only to purchase tunes...it keeps referring me to billing information even though I have money in credit

I got I tune gift cards...I'd like to use them purchasing other items at apple store...BUT they appear geared only to purchase tunes...it keeps referring me to billing information even though I have money in credit

Credit balances do not expire. First, make sure you're logged into the iTunes Store using the account ID and password you set up, or used, when you redeemed your cards. If you are, try signing out of the account and back in.
If you're sure you are using the correct account and that you're signing in to the iTunes Store, and signing out and back in doesn't help, go to the Purchase History and review your purchases to make sure that you should indeed have a balance left. iTunes doesn't always refresh the balance it shows, so it's possible you spent the money and it just wasn't being reflected in the display, thought it would be unlikely that you spent the entire balance unless you have a credit card on file as well.
If you confirm that you should have balance left but the iTunes Store isn't showing it correctly, go here:
iTunes Support
and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.
Regards.
