Firefox says the automatic update is done, but I am still running the old version.

My Firefox is set up to automatically update. When it asks, I say yes, it says it is done, but the new version isn't running. I t has done this many times and I'm still on Version 3.6. How do I get the updates to really work?

You are using the latest version which is Firefox 9.0.1
From your description it sounds as if you still have the old http://www.google.com/firefox Firefox start pages hosted by Google as your homepage. This old default homepage is no longer used as about:home has been in use since Firefox 4.0
Either ignore the message, change homepage to '''about:home''', change it to another page or leave blank.

Do not concern yourself about the backups. They will be deleted automatically if space is needed for other data:

In 1 applications, e.g. Norton Virus Scan, and Macware DiskToolsPro, the status bar shows 100% but task is still running. Where it says x of y items complete, x is y. This also happens in Windows 7 with Bootcamp. Please explain.

In >1 applications, e.g. Norton Virus Scan, and Macware DiskToolsPro, the status bar sometimes shows 100% complete but task is still running. Under the status bar, where it says something like "x of y items complete," x is greater than y. This also happens in Windows 7 with Bootcamp. Why does this happen?

We have stopped getting any software updates, and now we can't sync our new iPad with iTunes, b/c it won't update. It says it's up to date, but it's still on a 10 version.

Our computer won't update. We can't hook up a new printer, or hook up any new i-devices, b/c the software updates are not working.

Backup just your users files off the machine before doing anything and unmount and disconnect the drive.
Upgrade to Snow Leopard and run the Software update until clear
Provided your machine is working good, Snow Leopard is a darn good upgrade for a 10.5 box. Especially if it's freshly installed.
Do not upgrade that older machine to OS X 10.7 or later (or to Mavericks 10.9) it's too out of date (old), it will be slow and your PPC based software will no longer work. (will under Snow Leopard/Rosetta)
Currently 10.6.8 is fine with your iOS devices and geting security updates, we still have 25% OS X market share still, but eventually a new machine is likely in order for you soon.
I advise breaking in a new Mavericks 10.9 machine, avoid upgrading that older one past 10.7, use it for backup or sell it.
OS X 10.4/10.5 need to upgrade, 10.6.8 ok still

ITunes says I can update my software, but when I do this the system times out. Why is this and how can I get the update?

I need to update my iPad 2 to the latest operating system. When I open iTunes it says that I can do this. I start the download and update. When it's done it says it failed due to the system time out. What does this mean and how can I fix it?

disable your anti-virus and firewalls and try the update again.

TS2755 I talk to my daughter about an hr once a week from her Ipad to my Iphone. I know it runs down the battery by the time we are done but it is harmful to the battery?

I want to know if using the Iphone to talk on Facetime for an hour a week damages the battery in the phone?

Seriously? why would using the device with it's own built in features damage it's own hardware? What device manufacturer would do that? None. They would be sued left and right.

I recently upgraded to Lion but Quicktime is still running the previous version. I.e. not Quicktime version 7. How do I upgrade Quicktime?

I recently upgraded to Lion 10.7.1. I understand that Quciktime 7 is part of the OS. For some reason it did not upgrade and I am left running Quicktime 10.1. I can't see QT 7 available for download, how do I get it?
Many thanks.

Is it possible to get the system to Prefer QT 7 Player?
I am happy to never use QT X again.
When you start QT 7 player, under the first menu there is a "Registration" menu item.
Enter your name and Registration code, THEN hit the TAB KEY. Do not click the "Buy..." button.
That should do it.
Make sure you have the CORRECT version of QT 7:

IPod Touch 5th Generation won't turn on and the home button is broken, followed the steps from another thread but it's still not working

I have an iPod Touch 5th Generation with iOS 8.1, my home button is broken and I've been using AssistiveTouch for months now. Today I just locked my iPod and it wouldn't unlock again, it doesn't respond at all, it won't turn on. It was almost fully charged, so it's not the battery. I followed the steps from this thread, but I'm still getting the "USBMuxListenerCreate: No Error" message in CMD Prompt. I bought my iPod abroad and even though I do have the warranty, I've been told at the iStore that it's not valid here, so going to the store isn't really an option. Any ideas how to solve this?

Sorry, but without a working home button it is not possible to reset or restore your device. You should visit an Authorized Appel Service Provider or Apple Store to get it serviced. The warranty for an iPod is not limited to the country where it has been bought, check here: one-year limited warranty
Jailbraking the device will void the warranty.
You can check the warranty status by inserting the serial number on this page: https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
A list of Authorized Apple Service Providers can be found here: iPod touch - Contact Us - Apple Support

HT2404 When I try to download free updates for apps, I've suddenly started getting an error message saying: You cannot update this software since you have not owned the major version of this software." But I do own the apps. And I haven't changed my ID

When I try to download free updates for apps, I've suddenly started getting an error message saying "You cannot update this software since you have not owned the major version of this software".
But I HAVE owned the software, for ages. (And, in any case, the apps in question are all free.)
And I don't have multiple Apple IDs.
What can I do?
Any advice much appreciated

This can occur if you bought the machine used and iLife was reinstalled with another AppleID.
This also can occur if the "free apps" you downloaded have paid upgraded versions and/or are now payware and you can't get updates.
All software from MAS is copy protected, it might be free as in "no charge" but it's not free in the sense you can share it with others.

Firefox did an automatic update to 6.01, and now my middle mouse button is not working in the browser. It doesn't close tabs, it doesn't open new tabs by middle clicking a link, it doesn't allow me to middle click to scroll the page...

[BUG FIXED, see "EDIT 2" at the end of my post]
I'm on Firefox 3.6.21, and I got this problem today after a Greasemonkey update (To version 0.9.10, apparently).
Disabling Greasemonkey solved the problem, and re-enabling it reproduced the problem (middle-clicking links to open in new tab did not work, merely highlighted the link).
I should also note that while Greasemonkey was enabled and the bug was affecting me, Ctrl+Click to open links in new tabs was also broken.
I hope this helps!
EDIT: It appears this is a known incompatibility/conflict bug between current versions of Greasemonkey and Tab Mix Plus. Read more here:
https://github.com/greasemonkey/greasemonkey/issues/1406
EDIT 2: GREASEMONKEY HAS NOW BEEN UPDATED with a workaround to fix the problem. Go to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/greasemonkey/versions/ to install the update manually. It hasn't been reviewed by Mozilla yet, so it won't be an automatic update for another day or two. All credit to "cannonfodder" below for noticing this; please mark his post as helpful!

HT1338 i have apps to be updated but when i try to update them a message pops out saying "You have updates for other accounts, please sigh in with the other id". Can some one help me how can i still update the same with the new apple id ive created.

You cannot. The apps are assigned to that Apple ID and there is nothing you can do to change that. You could choose to download them again with the new Apple ID, any paid apps will need to be purchased again.
Hope that helps.

Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
         7. Xserve (Early 2009)
     Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
     Am I eligible for the free upgrade?
         See Apple - Free OS X Mountain Lion upgrade Program.
     For a complete How-To introduction from Apple see Upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion.
