Firefox will not open Version 4.01 (tried to download new version), on MacBook Pro running 10.6.8. Safari and Chrom both work OK
I cannot get on-line with Firefox. It simply will not open any page. I'm told it cannot make a connection. And yet both Safari and Chrome work fine, hence it is not a connection problem.
Moreover, when I started with Chrome, it offered me the option to export bookmarks, but only from Safari. Firefox never appeared in the import box
I was using Firefox 4.01. I tried to download the new version, dragged it to Applications, but 4.01 remains in situ. I work on a MacBook Pro running 10.6.8
Cannot connect after upgrading Firefox

I uninstalled Beta 4 and re-installed 3.6.13 now Firefox will not open at all I tried to uninstall to start again but it will not uninstall either it does nothing, I have been using Firefox for a long time but cannot resolve this problem can anyone help and give me a solution please. As I use Firefox as my web browser it is very frustrating.
The fact it will not uninstall appears to be something completely new as nobody I know who uses Firefox has ever encountered this in the past.Did you check your security software (firewall)?
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

Numbers 09 spreadsheet will not open in Numbers 08. Message suggests new version of Numbers is needed. Why?
@Nkcohen:
"Then move the old version into trash. (The old version is still availabe under iWork 09."
Not while it's in the Trash, and definitely not after you've then emptied the Trash.
You can leave both versions in the Appications folder, and both versions' icons in the Dock. And you definitely should leave them until you have some experience with the new version and what it won't do that the '09 version will.

My Itunes library will not open becuase of being created with a newer version
I did create the library with a newer version of itunes, i did this so that i could drag songs from a folder i had on this computer earlier. Now it will not open. I need help quick cause i would love to be able to drag these songs over s they will be on my iphone. HELP!
Let me get this right...
You have an iTunes library which you are now trying to use with a version prior to one that you were using, correct? Why?
Why don't you use the most up-to-date version of iTunes?
If you try using version 10.0 (for example), then anything iTunes has sorted out using 10.5 will not be recognised by 10.0, which is why you get the message. Apple's advice is to always use the most up-to-date version of iTunes. -
ITunes will not open on Windows Vista after upgrading to new version
After installing the latest version, my iTunes will not open. I have uninstall and reinstall two times and still nothing, any suggestions or tips?
King Penguin set you on the right track. It's probably security software not recognizing the new version of itunes, and blocking it.

Firefox will not open. I have tried re-installing and deleting my profile and nothing has worked.
I tried to download an extension for Firefox and after that it just stopped working, no response. I have tried re-installing the browser, deleting files & profiles. Nothing has worked. I cannot access the profile manager either *sad face*
Hello,
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-and-diagnose-firefox-problems?esab=a&s=troubleshooting&r=3&as=s#w_5-reinstall-firefox here].
<b>WARNING:</b> Do not run Firefox's uninstaller or use a third party remover as part of this process, because that could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u>
Please report back to see if this helped you!
Thank you. -
I upgraded Pages 5.1 on 2/25/14. All worked fine until yesterday when I could not open my journal (large file) giving me the warning "you need a newer version of Pages to open this document". Other documents open. What to do?
You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5/5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.1 sometimes can not open its own files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has not only managed to confuse all its users, but also itself.
Note: Apple has removed over 95 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

I have a Mac mini, have installed iTunes on it and want to find some old playlists that were lost. I have several 'iTunes Libraries' with different dates but I cannot open any of them becauseit says they were created with a newer version of iTunes. Please help!
Somewhere in your process you ended up with an earlier version of iTunes than was used last with the library. iTunes 10.6.3 is the highest version that will run under OSX 10.5.8
iTunes 10.6.3.25 - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1575
If you had an earlier version and still want that version I am not sure how to go about this. My iTunes library file does not say it was created with a particular version, although I admit I have not looked at the .xml copy to see if it is buried in the file itself. Apple only has a very limited number of iTunes versions openly posted, though you can still find just about any version if you look in the right places. You would have to kind of start low and work your way up to where you want to be since once you open a library with a version it cannot be reverted to an earlier version (make backups first). -
ITunes will NOT open from shortcut, cannot be updated to newer versions!
So I haven't changed computers and I'm pretty sure I hadn't uploaded a new version of iTunes when this happened, but...
One day it just wouldn't open from the shortcuts (like on the desktop and the start bar). It took me forever to realize it still opens when I go directly to its source and click on it, but it still gives me this box:
{iTunes Setup Assistant}
Warning!
iTunes was not properly installed. If you want iTunes to be able to retrieve CD information from the Internet, you need to reinstall iTunes.
(OK)
So I did try reinstalling it, but nothing seems to work.
And when I do try from a shortcut, this is the series of windows I get:
{Windows Installer}
Preparing to install...
(Cancel)
{iTunes}
Please wait while Windows configures iTunes
(Cancel)
Gathering required information...
[status bar]
{iTunes}
Error writing to file: C:\Program files\iTunes\iTunes. Resources \nb.lprof\EA0423.rtf.
Verify that you have access to that directory.
(Retry)(Cancel)
If I click Retry, it just keeps opening the same window over and over. So then I click Cancel and get:
{Problem with Shortcut}
A fatal error occurred during installation.
{OK}
And if I try to install updates, I end up INSTALLING all of it but at the very end I get:
Errors occurred while installing the updates. If the problem persists, choose Tools > Download Only and try installing manually.
Please help? This is so annoying!!Thank you to Polydorus! I was disheartened to see that the person posting the question wasn't getting results, but I thought I'd try the first round of easy suggestions provided by Polydorus.
1. I did a disk check (see right-click c drive, etc.). this found no problems, so no solution
2. I did the following: "The try a repair install of iTunes. (Find iTunes in Add/Remove programs and select change>>repair.)" This did it's magic! the warning which included "...If you want itunes to be able to retrieve CD information from the Internet, you need to reinstall it" no longer appears. I recommend anyone with this warning popping up each time you open itunes on a windows machine give this a try.
Thanks again!

My iTunes library will not open because it was created with a newer version
When I try to open iTunes I get the following error message.
"The file iTunes.itl cannot be read because it was cretaed by a newer version of iTunes.
This happened after I downloaded version 7 in September. I can see that my library is intact but cannot get it to open. Any suggestions?
Thanks
GregUpdate it seems to be version 6.05 which is showing up when I check via my Computer.
i've seen this happen every now and then if an install doesn't go through properly ... the library files get updated, but the program files don't get touched.
let's try another itunes 7.0.2.16 install. we'll take a few additional explicit precautions this time.
download and save a fresh copy of the itunes installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
iTunes 7.0.2.16 Installer
if that install goes through properly, does itunes launch for you again? -
