Firefox update will not completely install. I have a screen capture showing it hanging at 15.8 out of 15.9 MB..

Unable to completely download the firefox upgrade. For whatever reason it is not automatically updating it. I forced it this time and at the very end the progress wheel just spins and spins. (Happens on other web pages as well, specifically yahoo mail.) I am at 15.8 of 15.9 MB. I have Windows 7 on dial-up so obviously extremely slow download. I never use IE browser. I am unable to paste the screen cap of the dialogue box into this message showing the hang @ 15.8.
Thank you in advance for any help.

Thank you for these suggestions. I will post the outcome as soon as possible.
Update: Following a restart of the computer it does now show I am up to date with FF 25.0 so I guess what was showing on the screen actually wasn't accurate, that it did complete the update. All I needed to do was restart. But the suggestions are helpful as it never occurred to me to upload it to a USB stick and then transfer it to my computer. The troubleshooting links I'm sure will be helpful in the future as well.
Thanks again. :-)

    If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then best is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox application and save the disk image file to the desktop
    *Firefox 24.0: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    *Trash the current Firefox application (open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re-)install
    *Install the new version that you have downloaded
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Installing+Firefox+on+Mac
    Your personal data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox profile folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data when you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

    I have a Macbook with the Leopard OS, up to date. I decided to install Snow Leopard. Everything went smoothly until the window came up requesting me to restart the laptop after the install. I have done this numerous times same window keeps coming up after restart. I would appreciate any help.
    Thanks,

    Thank you Watts 300. I unfortunately cannot get the Mac to reboot. I have taken the SL disk out and reinserted a number of times, however the screen remains with the restart message. Crazy.I can power it off but the same restart message keeps appearing.

  • I am trying to install the latest update for HP Printers, it will not completely install ,now my printers won't work. Help!

    I am trying to install the latest update for HP Printers, it will not completely install ,now my printers won't work. Help!

    Hello Carolyn -  Thank you for your quick response to my concerns, I had already gone to the HP support site and tried to get the latest HP drivers, the site said for Lion 10.7 there was NA version.  So, I just used my time machine to replaced the OS from that time spot. I got my printers working again, so all right with the printer.  But, the fact remains that I still keep getting the New Update HP Printer in the software update window.  But, what happens if I try to download and install it is this:  It starts the download, everything seems to come down fine, it starts write the files and then starts moving items into place, the blue bar fills to all most the end and slows down to a stop and never completes the installation.  I have left my laptop on over night and it never finishes the operation.  I can only force quit the software update.  Which has knock out my printer drivers.  Now, I just keep unchecking the box in the software updates for new HP printer software. Is anyone else having this problem or is it just my system?  Sincerely: Professor G

  • Adobe Acrobat package built with CCP will not completely install

    Adobe Acrobat package built with CCP will not completely install.  It starts out fine as if it is installing then suddenly disappears with no errors.   I am installing it under the local administrator account and simply double clicking on the setup.exe created in the build folder.  Am I missing something??

    Hi rivera2u & TRU Software,
    I believe you are just double clicking on the Exception Deployer and not running the same from the command prompt . Mentioned below is the syntax that we need to use while using Exception Deployer on your machine(s).
    ExceptionDeployer  
        --workflow=install
        --mode=pre|post
        --INSTALLDIR=<path_of_installation directory>
        --installLanguage=<locale_code for Acrobat>
        --abortOnFail
        --help
    The same is mentioned in the link shared by Abhijit earlier.
    Please do let us know if this works for you or not.
    Cheers,

  • Firefox update will not work but when I follow suggested link to do it manually, it says my version of Firefox is up to date.

    Whenever I open Firefox, it keeps trying to do an update. Then I get the following error message "The Update could not be installed (patch apply failed)" It then tells me to update manually at Blah, blah, blah. When I follow that link, it tells me that my computer has the latest version of Firefox. What gives?

    If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version and delete the Firefox program folder to remove any leftover files.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    *Firefox 10.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible.
    *Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data because all profile folders will be removed.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded 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.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • App updates will not complete download?

    I have 4 apps that show updates but will not complete the updates.  This has been going on for a couple of days.  Any suggestions on how to fix problem.  My Internet connections is on and working for other apps

        @Stevec0331
    I always enjoy looking at what applications are ready to be updated. Often times these updates bring about great new features to the device. I notice that were working an Apple device. Once you head into the App Store, it will advise to Update All or you may individually tap update for each app. I would ensure that a data connection or wi-fi connection is available while processing the update of applications. I'm sure you will find this information beneficial.

  • ITunes will not complete installing!

    I have had probelms installing iTunes for apx 2 years. (when version 6 was released).
    So I thought I would try to install version 7.
    I installed QuickTime v7.1 with not problems, however when I try to execute the "iTunesSetup.exe" it seem to reach the end of the install process and then I get a message stating that "The older version of iTunes cannot be unistalled".
    I have gone thru all of the posts on this discussion and tried every trick mentioned when the 1603 error has occurred with other people. Yet it still will not complete the installation process.
    I found the "iTunesSetupxxx.log" and displayed it to see what is occurring and it still has the 1603 error as being the last error. I have included the last part of that log below:
    fdintCOPY_FILE
    file name in cabinet = QuickTime.msi
    uncompressed file size = 24522752
    fdintCLOSEFILEINFO
    file name in cabinet = QuickTime.msi
    fdintCOPY_FILE
    file name in cabinet = AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi
    uncompressed file size = 2078720
    fdintCLOSEFILEINFO
    file name in cabinet = AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi
    fdintCOPY_FILE
    file name in cabinet = iTunesSetupAdmin.exe
    uncompressed file size = 108096
    fdintCLOSEFILEINFO
    file name in cabinet = iTunesSetupAdmin.exe
    Executing: "C:\WINDOWS\system32\msiexec.exe" /i "C:\DOCUME~1\JOE~1.CHA\LOCALS~1\Temp\IXP508.TMP\iTunes.msi"
    Returned: 1603
    I have looked for the folder mentioned in the executing line and cannot locate it.
    Anyone have any ideas that are outside of the normal posts listed in this forum?
    I have deleted everything that is remotely related to iTunes, iPod, QuickTime, and even Apple from the registry after backing the registry up of course.
    Yet I have not found a way to get around that 1603 error.
    Help!

    I have investigated a little further on my initial point where I could no longer run iTunes. The last functioning version that I had installed was version 4.8. When I tried to upgrade to version 5, it gave me an error that some of the install files were corrupted and then it froze up. The only way it could be ended was by using task manager. From that point on I have had nothing but trouble. I tried to reinstall version 4.8 but I got an error on that as well. So ever since this occurred I have been trying the newest version just to see if it would accomplish the task of creating a functioning version of iTunes. Each time it will reach a certain point and give an error message about the older version could not be removed.
    So that is my history on this issue.
    Anyone out there have any ideas as to what I can do to at least get a version that will work installed?
    Even it is the same steps that have been given before, at least I will know someone is actually listening to me and not igoring me like the apple support does.
    TIA!

  • Any Software will Not Complete Install

    Ha, I been trying to solve an issue with my G4 (two door mirror model). Any software from iLfe 6, Final Cut Express, MS Word or Final Cut Pro will not complete the installment. I keep getting errors that the installation could not complete please try again. I trouble shoot the CD drive making sure there is not an issue with it, and the hardrive too. I did a clean reinstall of Tiger No problem - SO I know the hardrive is fine. I played CDs music so no problem from CD drive. I use the same Software CDs to install on my Powerbook G4 and no problem, so I know there is nothing wrong with the CDs. Does anyone know or may think what can be cause my Desktop G4 from failing to install any programs other then the OS.
    AT this point, I have a G4 sitting with just the OS and no application - and it driving me crazy I can't do anything with it.
    Thanks for any help.

    Dale, It is the retail version purchased day after it came out. Just a thought, when a PC has problems we can reset the bios back to factory state - can this been done to an apple system such as my G4? The reason why i'm installing back my software is because I had to reinstall the OS do to too many shareware apps I downloaded and could not trash for the life of me - many of the shareware apps was too buggy and could not get rid of them. So, I do not understand my I'm having this issue - OS can install but no other software will.

  • IOS 8.1.1 will not complete install on iPad 2....

    Doing via USB connection to iMac it goes through all the verification and installation processes but will not complete and keeps returning to message stating update 8.1.1 is available and do I want to intsall it. It has repeated itself 4 times now.
    iMac is on 10.10.1 and iTunes latest version.
    Any help appreciated.

    Thanks for the help, Demo
    I did all that you said except rebooting the Mac (I wanted to first discover where the issue was happening) and that solved it.
    On USB reconnecting the iPad to the Mac, iTunes launched and reported that it was running iOS 8.1.1. Therefore all that was needed was to reboot the iPad after the installation process. However, Apple's installation process did not instruct that and so I feel it is at fault - It should message the updated status of the iOS rather than leave the user in a loop as it did with me.

  • Firefox update will not open. I reverted to 15.0.1 and it works.

    I am running Windows 7. The problem began with update 25.0.1. I completely uninstalled and reinstalled 25.0.1 several times with no success. Quit using Firefox for a time, then tried installing 26.0. Still would not run. So I reverted to 15.0.1, and it will run.
    Immediately after installing the upgrade, Firefox will run. After rebooting my computer, Firefox will not open. An error "not responding" appears and I have to go into Task Manager to close Firefox.
    I have tried everything in your help files that pertains to my computer. I really like Firefox, but am getting a bit frustrated.

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
    ''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item:<br>
    [[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]<br><br>
    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
    Thank you.
