Firefox wont download on my Mac Mini

I'm new to my Mini Mac, but not to firefox. But firefox will not download. What am I doing wrong?

Back up all data.
Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then launch Safari and test.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

FIREFOX WONT DOWNLOAD

FIREFOX WONT DOWNLOAD. IHAVE WINDOWS XP PRO OPERATING SYSTEM. I REMOVED A PREVIOUS VERSION OF MOZILLA, BUT I CAN'T GET A NEW CLEAN DOWNLOAD TO START.

Check that you are using an admin account and not a limited account. If your caps lock has jammed it may be difficult to login.
Try to make sure no unnecessary applications are running when you attempt to upgrade, and also ensure Firefox itself is properly closed and has ceased,
Also say what security software software and firewalls you are using, maybe that is blocking downloads or changes to the computer. For more ideas and solutions have a read of the articles
*[[software update failed]]
*[[installing firefox on windows]]
( I am assuming you have succeeded in downloading and then finding on your computer the Firefox install file )

App wont open on my mac mini

An app (Splashshopper Desktop) won't open on my Mac Mini after having to force quit it today(my fault-tried to use it before sync finished). Screen blinks and immediately closes when I try to reopen it. I've rebooted, tried disk repair, time machine, reinstalled app from previous download, and same thing happens. I've used it for yrs, 1st time this happened. All other apps working fine as far as I can tell.

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.
Step 1
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.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard (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.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

IPad and pc laptop downloads @ 24 mbps, Mac mini downloads @ 6 mbps. What the problem?

All 3 devices in same location, why is the Mac mini so slow on download from wireless network?

I too was experiencing very slow surfin with my intl mac mini.
I have had it for 4 days now. My windows desktop was running ok and my PB 12" was okay too but I did find it running abit slow tho.
The mini was so slow that it did begin to annoy me. I was pretty sure is wasn't the mini's fault. I went out today with the intentions of picking up some memory but when I got to the counter the sales guy new about Mac's too and we chatted abit and he agreed it was probably the internet connection or the 6 month old router. So to isolate it, I should connect the mini by wire to see if there is a difference. The memory can wait for now.
While out shopping, I decided to pick up an indoor antenna for my Dlink router. The sales guy said it should help. I figured I'd try it.
I know my connection at home has been up and down, meaning fast to slow to annoying slow. When I got home, I hooked up the antenna and I'm just flying along! We'll see later this evening if things slow down.
The gadget I got is made by DLink, a Omni-Directional 7 dBi, High-Gain indoor Antenna. Came with a SMA to TNS adapter to use on other routers. Also came with an extension cable and mounting screws. The bottom of the base has magnets on it.
I used the extension cable. Kinda neat!
I'll have to get my daughter to check her PC upstairs as she was complaining about the slowness.....hopefully there is improvmement.
If the improvment doesn't stay the same, my next plan is to move the cable modem and wireless router back to my desk area and run a cable under the carpet to hook up both the Windows PC and Mini by wire. Hubby won't notice!! LOL
Well we'll see how it goes later this evening.
Cheers!

I have Keynote on iphone, ipad but it wont open on my mac-mini - help!

I have downloaded keynote, pages and numbers for Iphone and ipad all working fine.
When I try and open on my mac-mini nothing!
Please help

You have purchased iWorkapps for iOS to run on portable devices, if you want the iWork applications for the Mac you need to purchase those separately. They are completly different software for a different operating system, you can buy them very economically on the Apple App store.

Flash Player wont show up on mac mini

Im trying to install flash player 10 on a mac mini when i go to websites that require the player they work fine. but when i search for flash player on my mini i cant find it. I simply just need to view a Swf i made can anyone help?

I've answered this multiple times this week. Might be time for a technote.
Flash Player is a browser plugin. It's not designed to work as a standalone app for opening FLV or SWF. You can either open those using File: Open in your browser, or you can get the FLash Player 10 Standalone player from the archived players technote here: kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html

USB WD Drive wont switch off when Mac Mini sleeps

Can anyone help. My WD USB drive remains powered when my mac mini sleeps. I have tried "switch off hard drives when possible" in the preferences but still no joy. Any advice?

Hi Phras81-
Greetings and welcome to the Apple boards
Unfortunately the inability to sleep is a function of the drive itself. Which model WD drive? If it is a MyBook and you can return it I would suggest that you do so and get something else.
Luck-

Firefox wont download the update?

You keep offering this up grade but it wont upload?

If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest 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 program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
*Firefox 9.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
*Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
*Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

Firefox update download for my Mac in zip code 96822 just runs and runs without downloading anything. Has been happening for the past month. ???

Over the past month, when Firefox indicates it has an update for me, and to download it, all I get is "connecting" and nothing happens. We live in 96822. This is for a Mac.

If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest 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 program and save the DMG file to the desktop
* Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html

Apps wont download on my mac or iphone

whenever i try to update or download an app on my phone AND any computer it tells me "Cannot connect to iTunes store". I already went to apple and they did nothing.. all they did was tell me to restore my iphone... does anyone know whats wrong? its getting really annoying

Hmm I haven't had problems with the new express and iOS 5 just yet, but again because it's new mabye I've just been lucky
Can you try to plug it in the outlet in a different place in the house, while you attempt to set it up on your iPhone? If worse comes to worse and that doesn't work I have a solution:
Connect it over ethernet to your iMac when using airport utility, that should world.
Don't forget to do a RESET if it seems to refuse to pick up.

Firefox 5, downloaded to my Mac Powerbook G4 with a clean recent installation of OS 10.7, won't install. I am now getting the message that the application Firefox cannot be launched.

error message: 10661

benfrommaidenhead, were you able to solve your iTunes installation failed issue?
I have the same problem; installed iTunes from dmg, deleted iTunes.app, attempted to reinstall. Get the same error every time.
An interesting observation from your log file, is that both my installation and yours appear to be to an SSD?
The three other updates in my house were to macbooks using traditional HDDs, and they had no issues.
My problems now appear to have continued with the Mountain Lion Update v10.8.2 Combo Update...Update Failed??
I restored my MacBook to pre 10.7, but still get the "Installation Failed"
I am now in the process of downloading iTunes 10.6.3 and will attempt to instal it.
Update: 10.6.3. reinstalled with no problems.....
