Firefox won't update - tho I have OSX 10.5.8 it keeps saying I have too old an OS. The auto-update for Firefox is greyed out. How can I update?

I have a Mac Powerbook G4, running OS X 10.5.8. I'm getting messages from Google that Firefox is an old version and needs updating - so I went to the Firefox website and the message said that "Unfortunately the latest version of Firefox isn't compatible with your computer's operating system. Learn more." When I click Learn More, it says that Firefox only works with OS X 10.5 and 10.6...The auto-update box for Firefox is greyed out and un-clickable in Firefox preferences, there's no manual download that I can find - how can I make Firefox recognize my OS and allow me to upgrade? Many thanks.

PPC Macs aren't compatible with Firefox 4.0 and later versions.
For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4 / 5 / 6, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8 . <br />

Or use Firefox 3.6.22. <br />

  • HT2688 My daughter has used my computer to log into iTunes and download music but now it won't let me download recently purchased music from my iPad onto my computer. I want to transfer the recently purchased songs onto my iPod so how can I do this now.

    My daughter has used my computer to log into iTunes and download music but now it won't let me download recently purchased music from my iPad onto my computer. I want to transfer the recently purchased songs onto my iPod so how can I do this now? iTunes now says that I have to wait another 55 days! There must be a way to do this since I have paid for them.

    In iTunes sign out of your daughters Apple ID and sign in with your own.

    Are you talking about MyWebSearch toolbar (http://help.mywebsearch.com/sbar2.html#q1) which offers apps such as Smiley Central, Cursor Mania???
    If yes, uninstallation instructions are here - (http://help.mywebsearch.com/sbar2.html#q4). Could you provide me some details about the ZIP folders. If I get a screenshot, I can help you very well.

  • So, our old computer broke the other day and i cant figure out how to get all of my music from itunes to the desktop we have now, do u no how to??

    how do i get my itunes account onto my new computer

    - Transfer iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here;
    Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
    - After you get everything on the computer, make a backup of he iPod by connecting the iPod to the computer and right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and selecting Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup.
    If in the USA and other places where iCloud is released, you can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • New itunes update put the time duration for playlists at hours. How can I change it back?

    Normally you would click on the time and it would toggle between hours and MM:SS format. Now it just stays as hours. Apple is just making it super hard to burn CD's at times just under 80 minutes.

    Delete them and then download them from the desired Apple ID.

  • I need to update to 6.0 but it doesn't work--I've tried several times and it never gets past the stage of "connecting to update server"--so how can I update without uninstalling first and losing all my bookmarks and passwords?

    I have a MacBook Pro with Lion. Every few days Firefox will tell me, "you really need to update to 6.0," and I say, "yes please!" but then it says "connecting to update server" for ages and ages and nothing ever happens. I wouldn't mind uninstalling the old one and downloading a new one, except that I have lots of bookmarks and passwords saved, and I don't want to lose them all. So what's going on, how can I update?

    Thanks, but, using the "free" version of Reader, there is no opportunity to open nor import the xml data - the menu options do not exist - there is no import listed.
    If we try to open the xml file directly, then we get an error - something to the effect of "unsupported file type, or the file is corrupted".
    I just noticed in my Pro version that there is the command File ->Form Data ->Import Data to Form... command. Is this what you are referring to?
    What do you recommend? Perhaps the easiest thing to do would be to purchase a few copies of Acrobat Pro for the reservations people to use? I was hoping that the free version of reader would do it, but perhaps not?
    Thanks again,
    Rob

  • How can I update the thumbnails in the slide panel when a slide has been changed?

    When the text in a slide has been changed, how can you update the thumbnail in the slide panel to reflect this change?
    We translated slides, but the slides in the slide panel are still in English.
    Thanks for your help.

    the slides should update automatically as you type
    are you using a  theme you created yourself, or one you have added for this show?
    when you play the show, does the slides show correctly?  If they are OK you could still show the presentation.
    also what Mac are you using and what graphic crd is installed?

  • I updated my iphone and when it came time for activation it won't work and keeps telling me to try again. At the top it says "No Service" and I have my SIM card in and a good WiFi connection and have connected it through iTunes but it says I have no SIM

    I updated my iphone and when it came time for activation it won't work and keeps telling me to try again. At the top it says "No Service" and I have my SIM card in and a good WiFi connection and have connected it through iTunes but it says I have no SIM card and need to disconnect and insert my SIM. I don't understand why this keeps happening and it's been going on for a wile now. I have tried over and over again to get this iPhone to work but nothig is happening. I've even gone on the website for support (apple.com/support) but cannot find anything that will help me with this situation. Can someone please help me find a solution to this problem? I have been without a phone and do not have money to buy another one and it is crucial for me to get it fixed. Thanks.

    What computer operating system is involved in the Premiere Elements 11 and 13 issues? Same computer or different ones? Are you installing from purchased download installation files or from purchased installation disc? Does Premiere Elements 11 work completely on this computer whereas 13 will not?
    Let us go through the typical drill so as to take nothing for granted.
    1. Does the problem exist with or without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled? Are you working with an individual home computer or in a
    school or company network?
    2. Are you running the program as Administrator and is there any "domain" account involved?
    3. Is your video card/graphics card up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card?
    4. Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on the computer with Premiere Elements?
    Let us start by ruling in or out any of the above, and then we can decide what next.
    Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
    Thank you.

  • How can I update to a 64 bit version to play games on facebook & zynga so I won't have any farther problems?

    I have windows 7 Home Premiun 64 bit bit computer & I use Google Chrome to play games on Facebook & Zynga.  My Shockwave on my computer is 32 bit.  How can I update so I won't have any farther problems?

    Shockwave Player is strictly 32-bit only.
    Most games on Facebook and Zynga use Flash Player, not Shockwave Player.
    Flash Player is 32-bit and 64-bit, but you need to run it on a 64-bit browser.
    If you have more questions about Flash Player, ask in the FP forum.
