Firefox months old message at startup but am on current version why?
At Firefox start up she gets a message that Firefox is a few months old and should be updated. I check the version and [Check for updates] and it shows 3.6.13
Such an error message can be coming from malware. You should only update Firefox via Help > Check for Updates and never via a pop-up or link on a web page if it is not the official Mozilla website. There are a lot of web pages that try to seduce you and install viruses instead.
Do a malware check with some malware scan programs.<br />
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.<br />
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.<br />

Liar Firefox: I have download and install Acrobat Reader 11.0.0 few minutes ago and Firefox still telling lies that Acrobat has in not current version.
Have you rendered both iOS 7 and iOS 8 (both of which will work on your iPhone 5) out of the question entirely without trying every possible configuration? The animations can be disabled entirely, if that's the problem. And if the whiter-brighter user interface is the problem, there's reverse-contrast modes that darken everything. You can expose accessibility controls to gain immediate access to these functions to toggle them on and off. I guess my point is you may have decided against upgrading the OS based on an early experience with iOS 7 when Apple has since made changes in later revisions to address some of the usability complaints.
Now, Apple's instructions for downloading older versions of apps is to do so from the Purchased list, not from the app's product page.
See here:

Let us know how that works for you. -
Is there a way to merge Mail account A on my desktop with Mail account A from separate hard disks? I lost all my old messages (thousands of them) in July, but most of them are safe elsewhere. I'd really like to put them all in one place, though!
The desktop (iMac) now has messages from July 2012 onward.
My separate hard disk backup has old messages up to June 2012.
Most of the ones between June and July are on a MacBook Pro which I bought about that time.
Is there a relatively easy and safe way to put these messages back together in Mail account A on my desktop again?
Many thanks!
SqVerkaWell, your profile info says 10.4.11, and you are posting your question in the iMac (PPC) category. If you are running Snow Leopard, it must be a fairly recent Intel iMac.
In that case, you should definitely post your question here
https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/mac_os_x_v10.6_snow_leopard
where other Snow Leopard users can see your question. Restate the problem, what error messages you get, and what you have tried already (for trouble-shooting). -

I have updated (more than once) to Firefox Version 8.01. When I check Firefox Help:About, it confirms the version number and indicates that this is the current version. On Google, however, when I try to use G-Mail or +Google, gives me a message that my version of Firefox is no longer supported (and provides a link to download the current version). Additionally, Firefox itself, when I tried to use the Help:Submit Feedback menu option, indicates that I cannot use that option until I have first upgraded to the current version. Apparently, although I have upgraded, there is some marker or indicator that has not been updated from a previous version to indicate to websites which version of this browser is running on my machine. I would like to get this resolved, as it is keeping me from doing a few things I would like to do. By the way, I just looked at the dialog box below, following the comment "we've made some educated guesses about your current browser ..." it, too, indicates that my current version is 3.5.7.

Try to launch your Mac in Safe mode by taking these steps:
- Click on the Apple sign() at the upper left corner of the Desktop, select 'Shut down' from a drop-down menu;
- Wait until your computer turns off, then press the Power button(⌽);
- Immediately after you hear the startup tone, press and hold the Shift(⇧) key. It should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone;
- Release the Shift(⇧) key when you see a grey Apple sign() and the progress bar below;
This will force the system to perform several maintenance routines and load essential system software.
Once you've seen the Desktop
- Open Disk Utility application:
1. Click on Finder at the bottom of your Desktop;
2. Select Applications folder from Finder's left sidebar and then open Utilities folder (or press Command(⌘)-Shift(⇧)-U), double-click on Disk Utility icon;
- Choose your main hard drive from the left sidebar ('Macintosh HD', usually);
- Click on 'Verify Disc' at the bottom right corner, your Mac will perform a diagnostic test. Click on 'Repair Disk' if prompted to fix problems, or follow instructions given on the Disk Utility window;
- Once the routine finished, click on ""Verify Disc Permissions"", after it's done, click on 'Repair Disc Permissions';
Wait until it will finish and restart your mac -

I would go the restore route myself. Shouldn't take super long. Ya not quick, but sure beats not being able to sync it at all.

I'm actually looking for an extension... I would like to run a barebones Firefox, a testing Firefox (a couple of addons), a loaded Firefox, and maybe Firefox with different themes. (''Is this part of what different profile does?'') And I would like to select which profile I would like when Firefox starts (and when I want to change my option I just restart Firefox)
I don't think that you can do it as you want (restart Firefox with a different profile).<br />
You will have to close Firefox and use the Profile Manager to choose another profile.

My Aperture 3 just crashed...by that I mean it would not open and showed the message: "Aperture 3 cannot open. -1712." I have the latest A3 version and had been using it continually for 3 years. This was the first crash. And it will not open as often as I tried.
I am using a 13" Macbook Pro with OSX 10.8.5.
I tried sending the A3 application to trash, and reinstalling from my A3 disk. Install message said "installation successful." But A3 would still not open and gave same message with -1712.
Any suggestions what I should do or try?
ThanksPerhaps your Aperture library was damaged, when Aperture crashed. What where you doing, right before the crash happened?
- If you installed new software - programs, plug-ins, preferences panels, check, if they are compatible.
- If you imported new images, you may have imported corrupted files, that crash Aperture.
Can Aperture launch correctly, when you try to open a new Aperture library?
Hold down the options-key, when you launch Aperture and select to create a new library. Import a few images. Does that work?
If Aperture will launch on a new Library, try to repair your current library. Hold down the key-combination option-command ⌥⌘ firmly while double-clicking the Aperture library to open in First Aid Mode. Hold the keys down, until the panel appears, and then try the First Aid Options in turn.
I have the latest A3 version

Only firefox executing mysql query two times. but other browser works perfect why?
i am a web developer. and i am facing a problem only with firefox. every time i use MySQL query in my php code fire fox execute it two times. but same query is working fine on other browsers.
Yes, the problem is seen without extensions and also in safe mode.
But, I am starting to think that firefox is running low on memeory or CPU.
Without extensions the possibility of failing is 1 in 3.
I am still unable to explain why closing the browser or aborting the request can cause the stuck request to immediately reach the server.
Is there a way to collect Firefox logs and post it here ? -

IBooks: Error message for previews, but purchased books work. Why?
Hi everybody,
I've got an iPad 2 and iBooks installed, latest version (as of 7th December 2011). My problem is now that I am not able to read previews (or excerpts) of books I am interested in. It is possible for me to download the preview, but when opening, an error message appears, telling me that the format is not recognized and therefore I cannot open anything.
But if I buy the book, I have no problems. Politics?
Jensthis also happens to me. i believe it occurs when its checking the cloud for bookmarks and you open in the middle of the process. if you wait until the little spinning wheel is finished in the status bar, it will open fine. i think its a bug.
