Firefox won't detect plugin in home (./mozilla/firefox/plugins)

I'm not a root user and I want to update my flash extension as it's so old that it's crashing. I thought this would be as simple as installing the plugin to the plugins folder in my home, restarting FF and done.
Is there anything I need to do?
-Forgot to mention, this is FF6.0.2

Hi,
Please also try after right-clicking the Firefox icon and '''Run as administrator'''. If the problem persists you can try deleting the '''updates.xml''' file and the '''updates''' folder in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installation_directory Firefox installation folder].

My G4 won't detect my own network

My Powerbook G4 quite suddenly won't detect my own home network (Airport Express) upon starting up.
It "prefers" to want to join my neighbours weaker signal networks. My network name does appear in the drop down list under the airport icon and I can select it manually and it happily joins. But it won't do it by default like it always did from day one. I may have changed a setting.
How do I get it back to always joining my own network by default?
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Open system preferences and select 'Network' and then 'Airport' either from the 'Network Status' menu or the Show: drop down menu.
The first tab for 'Airport' says:
By default, join: and a drop down menu.
Make sure that drop down says 'Preferred Networks' and then select your home network from from the list. Apply the settings.
That ought to fix it.

N80 - WLAN at home won't detect, but I've used out...

Hi guys, I need help...
I have a got new N80, and the WLAN feature was one of my most high expectations... I have already successfully used the WLAN feature with my new N80 on Public access points, and it works great. But at home I can't detect my home network.
I have a Linksys Modem Router (Wireless-G ADSL Gateway with Speedbooster WAG54GS), with WiFi running on "Mixed" mode.
What puzzles me is that with my laptop i can detect 2 Wireless networks, mine and my neighbour's, but with my N80 i can't detect either. I have been able to detect other private nwireless on my neighbourhood, but mine it just won't detect.
Can anyone help please???

I could really use your help on this one... THanks!

What do to with plugins showing 'Unable to Detect Plugin Version' that can't be updated?

What to do with several plugins which cannot be updated, aren't functioning, and show 'Unable to Detect Plugin Version' when I select Update feature, for all my plugins? Clicking on 'Research' is proving futile. Running Firefox 3.6.6 on Windows XP 2002 system, home version. Also have IE Explorer 8.
== This happened ==
Not sure how often
== For quite awhile, every time I try to update my plugins.

I get the same thing on several plug in's

I have an Epson printer on a Wifi network. Windows 7 desktop and and HP Win 7 laptop (my wifes) print to it just fine. My MacBook Pro running Yosemite won't detect it, and I have the latest driver installed. No problem when I had a Canon...

I have an Epson printer on a Wifi network. Windows 7 desktop is running the network, and my wife's HP Win 7 laptop prints to it just fine. My MacBook Pro running Yosemite won't detect it, and I do have the latest driver installed. I didn't have a problem when I had a Canon Pixma on the network, but when I replaced it with the Epson nothing seems to work. I go to add a printer to the queue and only the FAX function of the printer shows up - not the WS-4530 print function. Does anyone out there have any suggestions? Please??? :-)

Hi Kelly,
As someone who has to print from my Mac to a networked printer at home all the time, I can certainly understand how frustrating it must be to have that fail to perform as expected. Let's see if we can get you up and running.
I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
OS X Yosemite: Printing troubleshooting
Start with the section titled Check the network.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Sincerely,

Netflix just 'hangs' and won't even open the home page, although if i log in as a guest then I can access it.

Netflix won't even open the home page to let me register and just hangs for ages. I have the same trouble on both safari and firefox but have updated both anyway. I'm guessing this is an 'identity' issue because if I log in as a guest on my own laptop I can open the netflix site, although there are all sorts of parental controls on there that I can't seem to override!
I have un-installed silverlight, tried again but no luck.
I re-installed silverlight. Still no luck
It's not a disaster as I'm still able to watch on my ipad, however it's annoying me and I like a mystery to solve!
any ideas?

A password reset would certainly be a good idea. However, it could be an iCloud issue. If you Mac matches your user password to your Apple password, it could be that when you initially start up, you don't have an internet connection...
Logging in as guest gets you connected, thus being able to authenticate. So when you change it, either make sure it's stored locally, or run some diagnostics on wifi connection upon startup. Out of interest, are you connected at the login screen (top right next to the time will tell you)?

Computer won't detect audigy

Greetings all:
I looked for a while in the forum, but did not find this question, so here goes:
I purchased an audigy 2zs platinum 0 months ago and had no problems until a month ago when I had to reformat and reinstall windows (one of my sata raid dri'ves died/fried). The windows install was on a new dri've, so there are no residual drivers from the previous install (to my knowledge - but I have tried to install it a few times now). Now windows xp home will not detect the audigy 2zs at all. It does detect the midi/game port on the card. I have also been able to use the firewire port on the card. It just won't detect the card, and I have had to revert to the onboard sound. It will only recognize the card as a "pci audi device" and not as a "audigy 2zs" like it did when I first bought it.
I like the zs, plus the front i/o bay is handy. Any thoughts on this problem? I have already tried a different pci slot with the same result. Is there a way to force the driver install? Is there a residual driver I am missing? Could the card be fried?
Here is my setup:
p4(478) 2.8 ghz, asus p4p800 dlx, ati aiw 9800 pro, audigy 2zs platinum, old-fashioned ide ata hd for now.
Thanks, Christopher

I think you may have misunderstood. If you do it that way and navigate to the windows CD then yes, it will install the windows driver. But i meant the Creative CD. If you install the basic CREATIVE card driver you should then be able to install all the other software. But the basic driver should sound no different than with the software except that the software allows you to EQ it and such.
Your problem as i understand is that windows DOES recognise there is a device there, but doesn't know where the driver is. So you need to manually navigate to the basic driver on the CD and once thats installed use the CD to install the software.
Also, i don't see why you can't just uninstall the unknown device in device manager, then without rebooting install from the creative CD as you normally would. In other words, the reason trying to install from the CD as normal isn't working right now is because of the unknown device in device manager. Some kind of conflict between that and windows knowing what to do with the CD install when you try that. So uninstalling the device first then doing a normal instal may also work.

ActiveSync won't detect my Treo 750

Help!!
I started with Windows Mobile 5 before with Activesync 4.2 and it worked just fine.
a year ago, I updated my palm with WM 6 and Activesync 4.5 and it worked just fine.
Recently, I have got new laptop from my company and try to re-install activesync.
During the process, I accidentally deleted the connection in my palm and everything is gone!!!
I tried to install activesync 4.5 in my new laptop and try to connect them, however, activesync won't detect my device. It did not even charge my mobile.
Curious enough, I tried to connect it with my other laptop at home (using Activesync 4.5) and it did not detect the device as well. Running out of idea, I removed Activesync in my home laptop and install Activesync 4.2. Try to connect and it worked!!! However, an error message came out saying that I need to have ActiveSync 4.5 to synchronize with WM 6.
I uninstall the ActiveSync 4.2 and install 4.5 in the laptop and try to synchronize again. But this time, same situation happens again where Activesync did not recognize my device!!!
What to do, I am running out of idea. Help me please...
Michael
Post relates to: Treo 750 (AT&T)

I went through all the recommended steps I found online and spent 2 hours with palm support and 1 hour with Dell support and still was unable to connect my att palm treo 750 using activesync when I had successfully done so in the past. I am using a treo 750 with winmobile 5 ver and activesync 4.2 connecting to win XP pro. I would see the phone in my device manager but it would not connect. This is what I discovered that fixed my problem and not just on my Dell computer but another computer I have as well. I would go into the phone to Start/Settings/Connections Tab and found USB to PC and check the box to allow advanced connections. I would then remove the battery. unplug the USB cable and reinstall the battery. After phone boot up, plug usb in and attempt connection again and it would fail. Again open on the phone the Start/Settings/Connections Tab and found USB to PC and uncheck the box to allow advanced connections. If connection fails (it probably will) pull battery from phone and unplug USB. reinstall battery to reboot phone then plug the USB cable back in. My device would again connect.. This needs to be done every once in a while because of the buggy phone and/or activesync software. I hope this helps anyone and prevents them from wasting as much time as I have on keeping an otherwise good phone in sync with an xp computer. Peace and long live a free internet and quality software....

ITunes Won't Detect My iTouch

Hey guys, I know there have been a few questions about this. Basicly, I upgraded my iTouch to v2.0 on my laptop that's running Vista. When I took it over to my desktop since I usually use that computer, iTunes won't detect my iTouch. Is there any way do fix this BESIDES having to put my iTouch in DFU mode? I've already got a bunch of apps that I really like and I don't want to have to reget them all.
Thanks

Ok, so I've tried to put my iTouch in DFU mode since all else has failed and well, that fails too. I hold the sleep and home buttons then let go of my sleep button, but when I finish it all, iTunes doesn't recognize my iTouch as an iPod in DFU mode. Then, when I try to turn my iTouch on or make something happen with it, nothing happens. I tried to redo the DFU steps and after reputting it in to DFU mode it turns on and my iTouch is like it was before anything happened. Can anyone help? I can't get my songs and videos and pictures and all that stuff on my iTouch cause they're all on my desktop and my desktop won't recognize my iTouch.
Thanks

My iTunes won't detect my iPhone that has to be restored via iTunes *because if pass code problems* and its running iOS 7.2

my iTunes won't detect my iPhone that has to be restored via iTunes *because if pass code problems* and its running iOS 7.0.4

If itunes is comming up and saying it can't read the device because it's locked with a passcode, you may have to put your device into recovery mode first.
To put your device in recovery mode: (Following these steps will erase your device and reset everything to factory defaults)
1) press and hold the power button until you see the slide to power off option
2) swipe to power off
3) Press and hold the home button while the device is off and connect it to your computer. Continue holding the home button until you see a graphic with the iTunes logo with a picture of a USB cable below it.
4) iTunes should give you a message that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click ok and then select Restore iPhone. iTunes will download a fresh copy of iOS and then wipe the device and restore it. Depending on the speed of your computer's internet connection this may take a while. Just leave the iphone connected to your computer until it's finished.
If itunes is not detecting it at all or is Not giving you the message that the phone is locked with a passcode, you may end up having to reinstall itunes. This seems to be a fairly common problem after the most recent itunes update (11.1.5)
If this is the case and you happen to be running a windows based computer you will have to uninstall itunes in this order from your programs and features option in control panel:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Then download and reinstall itunes from itunes.com try putting your device into recovery mode again and restore.
Hope this helps.
Cheers.

Need Urgent Help! iPhone 3Gs won't detect SIM after update to ios 6.1.3

So yesterday me and my sister's phone was working fine. I decided to update both of them, and when I updated, everything was reset to factory settings. Everything is running smoothly, but our phones won't detect the SIM. Either it says "No Service" or "Invalid SIM" when I turn on Airplane Mode. Urgent, please help!

I performed a backup / full reset / erase all / restore. When the phone rebooted, it appeared to be a clean, new iPhone (unnamed, no apps, no wallpaper, etc). I restored my backup and the notification is still there. I tried doing a hard reboot (home+off buttons), still there. I will attempt one more reset / erase / restore.

I have a PowerBook G4 with a non-functioning monitor. It used to work with an external monitor, but I reinstalled the OS, which cleared the display preferences and now when I restart it won't detect the external monitor. How do I fix?

I have a PowerBook G4 with a non-functioning monitor. It used to work with an external monitor, but I reinstalled the OS, which cleared the display preferences and now when I restart it won't detect the external monitor. This means I can't use the computer anymore. How do I fix? I tried using the Command+F2 keyboard shortcut, but it doesnt' work. It's possible that since I reinstalled the OS, it still needs to be set up, so there's only a welcome screen (but since I can't see it I'm not sure).

There is no limit to the number of times you can re-install Office on the same computer.
You can activate by telephone:

Imac running Yosemite won't detect external display

I previously was using a 2008 iMac desktop and running OS X Yosemite. I was using dual monitors (other monitor being Insignia brand) and everything worked fine. Since this was an earlier mac version, I was using the Mini DVI to VGA Adapter to connect. Last week, I got a brand new iMac (Mid 2014 version). I am running OS X Yosemite as well, but now it won't detect any displays. I'm now using the Thunderbolt cable to connect so I wonder if that has anything to do with it. But I have used that same Thunderbolt cable before on my macbook and it worked just fine.
I've tried restarting, resetting the PRAM and everything. I don't know what else to do. Help!

Thanks for the reply, but tried everything and it still won't work. Rebooted, installed updates, cleared PRAM, everything. It will not detect the displays at all. Maybe there is something wrong with my VGA cable.
