Firefox will not open - it says it has a copy open already - and it does not. This happened after I tried to update to new firefox.
I attempted to upload the new version of Firefox. When I did this - I could not open Firefox at all - a box pops up telling me to '''Close Firefox - a copy of firefox is already open - Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time.''
I tried to remove Firefox completely form the computer and reinstall - and I get the same message.
I am using a macbook prop with Lion operating system
Must be the "hang at exit" problem. You already know how to do Step1; now just determine which Add-on (Extension or Plugin) is causing the problem.<br /><br />

iOS 7.0.4 will be installed. -
when I try and connect to my wifi, I get a response that says "unable to connect to my wifi" and it does not even ask for my password; thoughts?
Does the iPod connect to other networks?
Does the iPod see the network?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iPod connect before?
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

I have just downloaded a copy of Photoshop and Adobe Bridge CS4 onto a second laptop I recently purchased. However the font size of the menu bar/tool bars is extremely small. My other laptop also has a copy of CS4 but it does not have the extremely small font size. Could you please tell me how to increase the font size in the menu/tool bars?
You can't. Any version before Creative Cloud does not support high-DPI displays and that is just that. If you cannot adjust the system's screen resolution and so on, then there is nothing you can do.

Startpage ok now but can't access links from email. Everytime I do this I'm asked to make changes to the computer then an error box appears,I click ok and Then it works.this happens every time on every email link
hello, when this is happening after you've already updated firefox with your admin account, try to delete the ''updates'' folder and ''active-update.xml & updates.xml'' within the %localappdata% folder of your restricted account like it is described in http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update#Software_Update_not_working_properly

Both Photoshop and Lightroom exhibit the same error. Sometimes this happens 3 times in one day or perhaps every third day. When I open either package I get a message saying that I have 00 days left in the trial and to continue I need to purchase a licence or start a trail. If I click on purchase a Licence the once I log in with Adobe ID I can get started. I have contacted Adobe chat support 6 times. They suggest deleting an opm.db file and assure me that this will sort the problem and within 24 hours back to square one
Here it happens only with photoshop cc 2014. i just deleped opm.db i will check again tomorrow.

I have had Firefox on this partion for several months. Yahoo indicated that I had to upgrade Firefox. It gave me a toolbar that I didn't want and couldn't remove. I uninstalled Mozilla. I have tried unsuccessfully to reinstall Firefox, including trying an older version. It goes through the process. When finished, the icon is a box, When i click on it, it defaults to have it deleted. It has a short message that says :
The item 'firefox.exe' that this shortcut refers to has been changed or moved, so this shortcut will no longer work properly.
Do you want to delete this shortcut?
Yes NoTylerdowner, thanks for your reply. However, that's not it. I ended up solving the problem. The computer was bought for me by a business associate. The individual who he bought it from set up the computer for him. So the download was going to the default partition. I did a "custom" instillation and changed the name to me. It then installed properly.

Printer has disappeared, Network function gone and Bluetooth does not work
About 3 or four days ago Software update informed me there was no software to updated. After installing my iMac G5 quit photoshop and QuarkXpress nonstop. In the past when I had problem like this I would just erase the hard drive and re-install all software.
I have re-installed all software 3 times including the printer software yet my iMac G5 does not recongize my HP Color Ink Printer cp 1700. In the past I would see bonjour and it would have my HP Color Ink Printer cp 1700 listed.
About a year ago I purchased an AirPort Extreme to allow my three macs to share one printer. In the past I would click on the network icon and a window would pop up asking to connect. BUT after the update clicking on the icon does nothing. In the past I did not have to do anytype of setup. I discovered the network function by mistake. BUT I got used to have access to documents on my other machines. And sharing documents. So I would like to network function return.

I have installed Firefox today, and like the look of and the speed. But I have an extensive set of foldersin my IE Favorites and remebered passwords I don't want to have to reimput.
I have now tried twice folowing "Importing favorites and other data from Internet Explorer " which seemed to go smoothly, once with IE open and the other with it closed, and closed down my PC between each attempted installation. Any ideas?It usually works better if you export the Favorites in IE to an HTML file and import that file in the Firefox Bookmarks Manager.
* Export the favorites in IE to an HTML file (bookmarks.html): File > Import and Export
* Import the HTML file in Firefox: Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import HTML: From File

IMessages are working on my iphone 4s but not in ipad since I installed the new ios 6. I have tried various fixes others have mentioned but i still cannot send or receive messages on the ipad. Help?
I should have explained further. The game opens in a new window over to the upper left of my screen, leaving the original page underneath. I tried minimizing it so that I could get to my toolbar and did the View > Zoom > Reset. This has no effect. The lower portion of the game is still not showing. Using other browsers the window or frame of the game is much larger, therefore everything shows.

Bought my laptop off my room mate and he had master reset it to default. This still left his name as the computer name and I wanted to change that. Tried to rename it under the advanced changes section, and now it isn't recognizing my password for anything more than logging in. I can't unlock the settings to make further changes (or change it back). I have had my room mate try all of his old passwords and usernames, to no avail. Is there a way to reset this? It's also not letting me wipe the drive and start fresh again because, alas, I don't have access without the password. Any advice would be very helpful. Thank you!
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
