Firefox keeps trying to download setup 6.0 even though it is running.

I've just tried to upgrade to Firefox 6.0, which I thought I did successfully. Including updating to version 6.0.1 (as reported by Help/About). But now, every time I open Firefox I get a dialog box that asks, "You have chosen to open Firefox Setup 6.0 exe... Would you like to save this file?" If I click on "Save File," the machine starts to download a file that I have already downloaded and installed. If I click on "Cancel," the box goes away and Firefox 6.0.1 works just fine. What did I do wrong and how do I get my system to stop asking me to download and install a file I already have installed and working?

Do a clean (re)install and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
You can skip the step to create a new profile, that is not necessary for this issue.

I keep trying to download itunes in Safari but get a message that and error has happened 2/3 and check window> activity. Then it shows A sever with the specified host name could not…… and then it cuts off the rest of the message. I have reset Safari and still nothing!!!
Very frustrated!!!

It's downloading with Firefox 3.6.27 as I write. It's probably more a Safari problem in your case for which people on the Safari forum could provide suggestions. Or mybe just try again in a while as I suspect everybody is downloading right now.

I keep trying to download 3.6.17 and it just keeps 'downloading' forever. Never finishes. Mac OS 10.5.8

The download box with the 'barber-pole' moving just goes on and on.

If you have problem with updating Firefox then easiest is to 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 DMG file to the desktop
* Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded

Firefox 4 doesn't run on a PowerPC Mac.<br />
Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.

For a Firefox 4 compatible version that runs on Mac OS X 10.4.11 or Mac OS X 10.5.8 (PowerPC) you can look at:

Something keeps trying to download on my mac and I don't know what it is. It is not in the apple store and just comes out nowhere and request for my password to download something and I don't know what it is. How to make this stop?

Erica,
     I can, with 99.99% certainty, tell you that you are absolutely right in not wanting to download or install this "Helper," whatever it is (but we can be equally certain it would not "help" anything).
     I cannot comment as to Oglethorpe's recommendation of 'adwaremedic'; I am unfamiliar with it. His links to the Apple discussion and support pages warrant your time and attention.
     It might be really simple -- Trying looking in your Downloads folder, trash anything that you don't know with certainty is something you want to keep, and then Secure Empty your Trash. Then remove the AdBlock extension, LastPass, and Web of Trust extensions to Safari and re-boot. If the issue goes away, still be extraordinarily careful in the future.
     Unfortunately, it's probably not going to be that simple to get rid of, in which case I'd then try the line by line editing in HT203987.
     I have no further suggestions (other than a complete wipe and re-install...but that's a pain because trying to restore from Time Machine would simply ... restore the Mal).
   For the rest of us, please post when you find a solution.
     Best.
     BPW
(Also, try to edit your second post -- black out your last name on the screenshot and re-post it for others)

I have an iPod 4s and I am trying to update to IOS 6.1.6. I keep trying to download but it will not allow me to click download and install. I have checked my storage and I have more than enough storage space available. Do you guys have any suggestions?

The only available, signed, iOS, for your iPod, is iOS 7.1. That's why you can't install iOS 6.1.6.

HT1725 I downloaded an album from itunes and only half of the songs have downloaded. The rest of the songs keep trying to download and then come up with an error saying they cannot download at this time. I'm not sure what the issue is.

I downloaded an album from itunes and only half of the songs have downloaded. The rest keep trying to download, but I keep getting a message that says, "Song cannot be downloaded at this time. Do you want to retry or be done." Each time I retry, the same thing happens. They will not download. I have restarted my phone and the same problem remains.

Other people have been having similar problems with songs over a number of days.
Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting it from your iTunes library and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

When I open iTunes it keeps trying to download a previously downloaded purchase.

When I open iTunes with my iPhone attached to the computer, my computer keeps trying to download "Downton Abbey" Episode 3 Season 1, which locks up the computer for hourws. I have already downloaded this season, including this episode, syched it to the phone and wtched it . So I know this has already been downloaded once. I can not use the iTunes site nor synch my phone to the computer. How do I get out of this jam?

I understand that Episode 3 of "Downton Abbey, Season 1" is stuck in your iTunes account downloads queue. Unfortunately, it is not possible to delete files from your iTunes Store account's download queue as a customer. This feature is an iTunes failsafe in place to protect against the accidental deletion of files prior to download completion. iTunes Store Customer Support will have to assist you with this.You can contact them via:

Adobe AIR keeps trying to download a WIN32 module to my 64-bit OS

Adobe AIR keeps trying to download a WIN32 module to my 64-bit OS. There's no s/w in the Adobe product list to read a FAQ or get help.
1) What is Adobe AIR?

3) Why is Adobe always trying to load it onto my system?

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

It may be an authentication error.

It may clear up after a while. You can write to Apple but I bet it clears up before you receive a reply.

You either need to be logged in or run the installer as an Administrator user.
If you already do that, can you post the exact message you are getting?
And yes, knowing your operating system would help.
