Firefox wont update to v5 and the main site says i`m using v3 but my browser says in using v4...whats gone wrong?
I have version 4.0.1 ( Help -> About Firefox) and i keeps saying i need to install version 5. I get the download and it says its installing,but nothing happens. I then get a new window saying i need to install the update and when i click the Next button i get a "Conecting to server" message...which just sits there for doing nothing.
This is about the 8th time i downloaded and installed version 5 but to no avail. So i decided to check the Main sites FAQ. heres where things get intersting. According to the main site i`m running version 3.0.16(or something like that)
Your UserAgent string in Firefox is probably messed up by an extension or another program that you installed.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Agent
type about:config in the URL bar and hit Enter
''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.''
Filter = general.useragent
Right-click the preferences that are "bold", one line at a time, and select "''Reset''",
Then restart Firefox

I asked if AVCHD files can be played on Mac and the support site says to simply click on the icon and quick time will play it. A big lie. Just say it won't support the file type and tell us what apps to get. anybody?
I also had issues opening AVCHD files on case-sensitive filesystems.
You can try these steps to solve the issue:
Right click on the AVCHD file and select 'Show Package Contents'
Right click on the BDMV file and select 'Show Package Contents'
Rename index.bdm to INDEX.BDM (it seems that all files in the BDMV folder should be in UPPERCASE for Quicktime to open the AVCHD file).
Go back twice and try again to double-click on the AVCHD file (Quicktime should open a window showing the multiple clips, as expected). -

I have a recently acquired iphone 4s and despite having good hearing and the volume up to max can barely hear who ever I am speaking to. WHat is wrong with the phone?
The plastic cover was removed before I left the store and I have moved the volume up and down during, before and after phone calls. Have tried it in protective case and out of it. Impossible to hear calls unless phone is on speaker. There seems to be lots of comments re this. Is it a significant flaw? Can I fix it?

You are rather far behind on Firefox updates with Firefox 3.0.4 the current ones are Firefox 3.6.17; and if you have an Intel chip in your Mac OS X 10.5 you can go to Firefox 5
If you do update to Firefox 5: You can make Firefox 4.0.1 and '''Firefox 5.0''' look like Firefox 3.6.17, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 look like 3.6)] -
I installed Mavericks to my computer and iPhoto isn’t working it has a grey no working symbol over it. So I tried to download the new version of iPhoto but it starts to download and just gets to 10.2MB and starts all over after about 3 mins of doing this it comes up with an error message saying an error had occurred. I have tried downloading several times restarting the computer and downloading and still get the same thing over and over again. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Contact App Store support. There's a link on the right hand side of the App Store Window.

None
Maximum RAM

Type of RAM Slots

After a recent upgrade, I've completely lost iPhotos and all my pholto files.
It now comes up with 'You cant open the application iPhoto because it is not supported on this type of Mac'
Any ideas whats gone wrong?Reinstall it:
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
*Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always. -

i just downloaded the new update for itunes and the itunes store wont open up it is taking a long time it still hasnt loaded since 5pm, i also cant sighn in either it just keeps on saying accessing itunes....
Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

Having Problems Updating iTunes 10.6.3, it wont update when I click the download button to update the itunes. What should I do to fix the issue? And does Anyone esle have this problem?
Just want to update the problem everybody is having downloading the new update. If you waited, and didn't try to reinstall or anything, it looks like a "fix" is coming to you. My previous ITunes was working fine so I decided to just wait it out and see if Apple would fix it. Knew it wasn't my computer because of all the same questions in this forum. And I want to let all to know that when I signed on to my computer today an Apple Software Update window popped up on my desktop. (Not the little one we've all been clicking on from the ITunes screen.). This came up right on my desktop. I clicked on it to download and it worked like a charm. After it was done downloading I pulled up ITunes and all looked great, all my purchases, songs were still there. I then plugged in my IPod and then my IPad and they both synced, etc., ....all is well again! So it you didn't try to re-install or anything, and have just been waiting and using your current version of ITunes, be patient. Looks like the fix will be coming to you, too.

My computer failed and the main drive had to be formatted but all my music was on a separate internal hard drive. So I downloaded the latest iTunes , problem is it has found all my songs but seems to not recognize half of the album data, half of the artists, all of the dates and all ratings data.
I had a large part of it backed up on DVD's but it does not want to recognise them either?

I use firefox - Is there any way to make it so my internet browser only remembers the MAIN site? -- EG: Only Youtube.co.uk instead of Youtube.co.uk/VIDEO ect.ect. WHISPER PLEASE
Is this to reduce the clutter of suggestions on the address bar, or for some other reason?
You can change the address bar drop-down so it only suggest bookmarked sites instead of everything in your history. This article describes how to make that change: [[Awesome Bar - Find your bookmarks, history and tabs when you type in the address bar]] (see the section "How can I control what results the location bar shows me?").
Am I on the right track?
(I'm avoiding the really hard question of how to selectively cull your history. I can't think of a way to do that.)
