Firefox no longer works and I can't seem to get it fixed

Over the past week, firefox has stopped working on both my windows xp machine and a windows Vista machine. it tells me I need to restart the computer to allow an upgrade to occur. I have tried the solution on the website to find and delete xpicleanup.dat, but it isn't working. I can't uninstall it, and I can't install a new version. Please help

You'll actually need to order a snow leopard DVD first. Then you can download mountain lion via the app store. Confirm you meet the requirements: http://www.apple.com/osx/specs
If you dont, you might be able to get lion instead. That's an order over the phone, to get a redemption code.
And make sure you're actually contacting apple: http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
You'll also want to confirm your 3rd party apps are compatible before an OS upgrade. Of course, you'll also want to backup your data.

TS1453 Home sharing isn't working and I can't seem to get it fixed.

When I try to go under computers on my Apple TV (2nd Gen), it says "Loading Jennifer's Library" for several minutes before I get an error telling me "Could not connect to Jennifer's Library. Make sure the computer is on the same network as your Apple tv, the itunes version is up to date, and itunes is running." I've tried literally everything short of completely reformatting my computer and I'm not doing that.
-Both my computer and apple tv are hooked up to the correct router.
-I checked the internet connection on the tv, it's in working condition.
-All my software, both on my Apple TV and on my computer are up to date.
-I have restarted itunes and my apple tv.
-I've done a reset on the apple tv.
-I've turned off homesharing on my computer and tv for 1 minute and turned it back on.
-I've restarted my router.
-I've restarted my modem.
-My router software is up to date.
I can play music from my computer onto my TV but as soon as I try to play my movie, which I've watched before on my apple tv and know it works, I get "An error occurred loading this content. Try again later."
I'm at a loss for what I should do next. Everything I've tried has failed. If you have any suggestions, I'd be very appreciative.

Home sharing isn't working either
Which is why you can not use the remote app. Did you turn on home sharing on your computer and on ATV?
eve though they have the same Apple ID.
Did you enter the ApplieID in the home sharing login though? Or just in for the iTunes store, or iCloud, or photo sharing, or something else?
Home sharing isn't working either, I can't play or transmit any video from my iPad to the Apple TV because it doesn't recognize it
That would be AirPlay, not homesharing. THey are not related. Did you enable air play on all the devices?
Have you run the network test tools on ATV? Can ATV access the iTunes store, Netflix, etc?

Apple maps has incorrect information and we can't seem to get it fixed

Our address is 3201 e George bush hwy, Richardson tx 75082
Searching for 3201 e George bush hwy results in maps deleting the 3201 and pinning a random IHOP
Searching for 3201 e George bush hwy richardson results in no results found
Searching for 3201 e George bush hwy richardson tx results two results on opposite sides of the highway
Despite several attempts over the last several months to report problem, dragging pins etc, nothing has changed
Patients constantly get lost and are late for appointments
Is there anything left to do? We are at our wits end.

If it makes you feel any better, try getting someone like Garmin to fix a map error on their devices. The other side of the coin for something like Garmin is that they charge for map updates, and because of that, many people just don't update the maps. So, even if the data gets corrected, many users won't see it.
While there should be a better way to report/update, I'm not sure if/when we might see it. Since the map data is on the server side, and not resident on the phone, it should not be something that would require an update to the iOS. I guess other than reporting and providing feedback, the best we can do is wait.
On another note, for the map data for my town and location, the Apple map is superior to the Google one. The satellite data is newer and the Apple map has more of the newer streets than Google. I know that is probably a surprise, but if you come around here, your better to have the Apple maps.

My username (email address) has changed. Apps that I purchased with the old username ca not be updated as the password from the old username no longer works and apple can not send me info to an addres that no longer exists. What can I do?

I have used Firefox for over a year. For some reason it quit working and I can't seem to fix it. I uninstalled and reinstalled the download and it's still not working. When I click on the icon it says unable to connect.

Yes, if you repurchase it you may lose your progress. The exception would be a game that stored all your progress on a server under your ID
If you want to retain your progress you have two choices:
1. Don't apply the update.
2. Use your fathers account password to update the game.

Maybe I'm not understanding but it appears that your question refers to a transfer from a non-Apple phone to a non-Apple computer. If that is correct, this forum is likely not the best place to get an informed answer.

Hi,
This is how App Store app shows now when an app is downloading. If you cannot download anything, go to Settings > iTunes & App Store, remove your Apple ID, and set it again. That should work.
Hope that helps.

I would do 1 thing at a time:"now the micropohone is not working in facetime"
Here is what you can check to get your mike working in facetime:
1. Hold down option while you click on the speaker next to time a. date,
under input Device see if your mic is marked. If not: ✔️
2. Click the apple top left/System Prefs./click on the Sound speaker:
under Input highlight microphone.
3. When you have factime on go to video above scroll and see if your mic is marked ✔️
If that does not get it to work there is more you can check:
(Utilities/Audio, midi setup)
For any other audio device you do this for input and output.

Standard troubleshooting steps in order are as follows - checking after each one to see if the problem is resolved:
Power your iPad off and on.
A reset, which is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release.
Restore your iPad with iTunes from your iPad's backup.
Restore your iPad with iTunes as a new iPad or not from your iPad's backup.

There's a strange bookmark "(no title)" with no icon in my Bookmarks Toolbar folder and I can't seem to get rid of it, plus it causes some problems.

This "bookmark" can't be deleted nor I can choose the option "Forget About This Site" or anything else. It just won't disappear. Furthermore, when this bookmark is placed in a section (separated by separator) with other bookmarks, it causes them not to be shown in the Bookmarks Toolbar, so I have to place it in a section where there are no other bookmarks but this one, still I can't get rid of it nor know I got did it get there. I tried running Firefox in safe mode and whatnot but nothing seems to work. Please help me out.
Thanks,
Ed

I should have figured that out from your original post. I think there is a possibility that your bookmarks/history database (places.sqlite) has a corrupted record. Rather than take drastic action on that immediately, could you do a test? The test is to exit Firefox, rename your existing database, and restart Firefox. Firefox should import your last bookmarks backup. You then could check whether the problem remains or whether you got a clean restore of bookmarks. After the test, assuming you prefer to retain your history, you could undo the procedure and try restoring your bookmark backup into the database to see whether that overwrites the problem record. If not, then we would go back to possible drastic action.
'''Test procedure''':
Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using
Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
Switch back to Firefox and Exit
Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''places.sqlite''' to something like places_20130614.sqlite. Keep this window open.
Restart Firefox. By design, Firefox should import your last automatic bookmark backup.
If you return to the Library dialog, how does it look?
'''To reverse the test''' (but preserve a backup of your history/bookmark database):
Exit Firefox
Delete the newly created places.sqlite file
Right-click copy and paste the places_20130614.sqlite and rename the copy to places.sqlite
Restart Firefox and open the Library dialog. Should look like it did a few minutes ago before any changes.
''If the test showed no corruption,'' try to restore your last bookmarks backup. The procedure is described in this article: [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]].
Does any of that get us closer to a solution?

I had fixed Screengrab add-on and had it working in 10.0.1 but 10.0.2 disabled it and I can't seem to get it back.

I really enjoy this add-on, found I can't live without it. I have followed this issue since Firefox 8.0 and found that even 'Compatibility Reporter' is now non functional also with 10.0.2!!!
The add-on WORKS FINE! it is just a text change on the version max that is the issue. How do I FORCE Firefox to accept it? Is there some entry in the about:config I can modify?
When I try to 'Install add-on from File' I get "Screengrab could not be installed because it is not compatible with Firefox 10.0.2." It was compatible for three weeks running in 10.0.2 after the 10.0.1 to 10.0.2 upgrade and then today when I started Firefox it was gone and the add-on Manager only had a Remove button, no Enable/Disable option available! I Removed it thinking I could just put it back. I can't.
Alternately where can I get 10.0.1 and revert back to it [ and never upgrade again!] I tried http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html but it doesn't seem to be what I need, it is just 3.6.* and I don't need to go back that far.
Worst of all. I have Firefox 10.0.2 on a Windows 2000 Pro PC and is still works with screengrab 0.96.3 fixed!

It is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
Delete the files extensions.* (e.g. extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini, extensions.cache) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Profiles
New files will be created when required.
See "Corrupt extension files":
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Unable+to+install+add-ons
If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left side of the Search Bar (or click the "Find Updates" button in older Firefox versions) to do a compatibility check or see if there is a compatibility update available.

HT1349 I don't have insurance on my iPhone 4 and I accidentally dropped it in the water. I got it out rather quickly but there is things that aren't working. What can I do to get it fixed without it being costly ?

I need help finding a low cost way to fix the water damage done to my phone. But I do not have any insurance at all. Please help

Bring your phone into Apple for an out of warranty replacement for $149. Or, find an iPhone repair shop near you and see how much it will cost to fix your phone.

My green audio bars went invisible and I can't seem to get them to reappear

Hello,
I use After Effects CS6 with a pretty new i5 desktop computer with Win8. My green audio bars (not sure of the technical name) just starting being invisible for the first time, so I can't edit/move them around anymore, as shown in this screen capture here:
http://i878.photobucket.com/albums/ab341/AAL2423W/artsies/3-30-2013010337PM_zps369a2cc1.jp g
(Sorry if it's small, Photobucket shrinks my image files if they go beyond a certain size, but Ctrl++ may help to zoom in for details.)
You can see how the green bars are missing even though you can still see the accompanying green Waveform underneath where the green bars should be.
Why did they disappear and what can I try to do to reclaim the green audio bars? I also can't seem to continue the project until I get past this issue, as even putting in new audio bars show up as invisible. (It's as if the project file has 'had enough' and wants me to start a new project file, but this would result in repeated work.)
(I feel like this started happening because the project got too big for one file, due to being 12min long and having 337 'layers' so far, but I don't want to suggest that as part of the answer, I'm just giving my own inexperienced feeling about the matter. Plus, I already tried dividing the project up into two 7min halves, since I only started having this problem at the 11.5min mark, and, unfortunately, the new second half still doesn't even show the invisible green bars, despite being only 7min long instead of 11.5min. I also notice performance issues replaying the entire thing with a RAM Preview after it got to be around 11min in total, with random audio skipping and the like, making me assume I'll keep projects to about a 7min maximum from now on to be safe and just compile them all afterwards. Another performance issue is that it clearly doesn't complete the RAM Preview distance that is set. Instead it stops where it wants to and commences replaying.)
Thanks

Edit --> Preferences --> Media and Disk Cache --> Purge. And you might wanan consider substituting any compressed audio sources with WAVs, too, to avoid such corruptions. Similarly, check your audio in a proper audio editing app. Odd sample rates, weird channle mapping and so on can have all sorts of ill effects.
