Firefox would not open for me, so I uninstalled , know it will not let me download a version.

I tried to open firefox and each time a window pops up stating profile is missing. I uninstalled then tried to reinstall but still get profile missing and it will not down load. What do i do?

I have tried all of the suggestions, also removed every reference to Firefox in the registry, no joy, still comes up with the error, does load if run as administrator, this is not satisfactory though, its ok if I am starting Firefox but no good if it tries to start automatically such as clicking a link in an email.
Therefore until this problem is sorted my default will stay as Chrome!!!!!!!

    Thanks for the welcome Karsten! I’ve checked the installer disks – which appear to have all the main pieces of software, but not iDVD. If you or anyone knows where it might be hidden that would be great. Thanks for all the other info too!
    Thanks Lennart – I don’t think my computer could support iLife ’05 as it is running Mac OSX 10.3.2 and I’ve just been looking at its system requirements which state it requires 10.3.4 minimum – if you know differently, please let me know. As an alternative I have considered getting iLife ’04, but your comment about iLife ’05 being the first version to support external drives worried me (“iDVD 5 is the first iDVD version that officially supports external burners“ does this mean there is an unofficial option for iLife ‘04? Perhaps a patch similar to the one mentioned by Karsten), does that mean iLife ’04 would not support an external Lacie DVD writer?
    What is the earliest version of Toast I’d be able to use (as a money saving option!)?
    Thank you both, and apoligies for my amateurish questions…

  • HT1926 iTunes not letting me download new version

    iTunes not letting me download the new version ?

    Did you ever figure this out?  I am unable to get my iPad recognized by iTunes because iTunes on my pc (ver. 10.7) gives me an error that I must have version 10.6.3 or higher to connect.  But how do I download a higher version on my iPad.
    You do not download a higher version on the iPad, maybe that was not what you intended.  iTunes is on the computer, update it there.
    If you are having issues, search for the specific error or post it.

  • ITunes would not let me download music properly to my iPhone 4S, can someone shed some light on how I can fix it?

    I recently aquired an iPhone 4S, perfectly fine, around 2 months old. everything is working fine, and all apps and music are downloaded on to iTunes and WERE origionally on the iPhone. I started to then add more songs from iTunes, though the phone started refusing to download them and then the majority of my collection were then deleted. I did origionally think that this was simply because it could not find the location of all the music files, though upon searching i found that iTunes could indeed fine every single file, and that they all played perfectly well in iTunes. I did reset the phone and try simply re-installing the exact same storage pre-reset, though it simply made all of the songs like that. The iPhone (4S, 32GB, 4 month old) did have around 900 songs on it, all playing fine, though recently the number on iTunes is around 1240, though I don't want all the songs on.
    It is not that I am incapable of understanding the software of iTunes or of the iPhone, and I have had previous Apple products and also had interaction with various models (iPhone 5/5C/5S) and Android, so it this is where it stumps me on what the actual problem is.
    I have tried doing things like:
    Reseting the phone
    Making an individual playlist with all of the songs that I want on my phone
    Downloading Albums/Artists/songs/playlists individually (as to rule out if it is a specific artist/song/so on
    Downloading everything and then trying to get iTunes to download the actual song directly
    When updating/syncing my options on the Music tap on iTunes when the iPhone is plugged in, it registers on iTunes that the every song that I have ticked to be included in the sync has been synced, though upon checking my iPhone on the music app, the majority of the music will either have failed to sync or not be there, or be registered but unplayable (the title of the song is slightly transparent/grey). Then upon inspection of the [Settings>General>About>Songs], the count does not equate to that which is stated on iTunes.
    Any help will be appreciated as soon as possible, as my iPhone is used for music a significant amount of the time and the loss of around 700 songs off of my phone is quite significant.
    Bearing in mind that I am only 16 years old and have no actual IT knowledge in-depth of what is actually occuring other ethan what the consumers can see through such things as the settings and the location of files and their formats, I would be appreciative if any explanation wouldn't end up being too confusing, nor it being patronising (for instance, my ignorance of how to download music to iTunes)
    Thanks, atsdkg

    I have help for you!!!
    I had EXACTLY the same issue recently. What I had to do on my PC was go into the My computer section> click on my C drive> click on users> click on my username> go into music and then iTunes> Here you should see something that says iTunes Library. Make sure that iTunes is Closed and then take the iTune library and drag it onto Your desktop. This will create a copy on the desktop but iTunes will not see it. Reopen iTunes and you should see an option to scan for media. Once you do this iTunes should re-build your iTunes library and It should be able to sync. If it syncs fine and all your content is available go to the iTunes library that you dragged to the desktop and delete it as you should not have a new one. If this does not work absolutley do NOT delete the iTunes library that is on the desktop.
    Call Apple and let them know of the steps you have taken and request some help. This should fix it though!

  • Upgraded to 7.0.1 and then Firefox would not launch.

    Upgraded to 7.0.1 last night. Firefox would not launch afterward. Hour glass appears for a few seconds then goes away. I can see on Task Manager that Firefox.exe appears in the Proceses list and then after a few seconds disappears. No browser, no error message. After going through every troubleshooting step I could find I removed 7.0.1, downloaded 3.6.23 from Firefox site and this works fine.

    Very strange. So today I log in to my banking site and everything is working properly. Firefox tells me I am running the same version 8.0.1. Who knows! I guess I should just be happy that Firefox works as it should.

  • When I come in this morning, Firefox would not connect to the Internet.

    When I come in this morning, Firefox would not connect to the Internet. The pop up read "Unable to connect. Firefox can't estabish a cennection to the server at...." I opened Explorer, and it worked fine. I removed and reinstalled Firefox, it still won't work. I prefer Firefox, how do I fix this?

    Did you download the Windows support software when you first ran Bootcamp Assistant? Did you install the downloaded Windows support software when you first booted into Windows?

  • Can you fix , the fact that If you leave the firefox update window open for a long period (say 20 minutes in the background), then close all other windowns, then choose to install, it uses this extra time to estimate the download?

    Can you fix , the fact that If you leave the firefox UPDATE window open for a long period (say 20 minutes in the background), then close all other windows, then choose to download update, it uses this extra time to estimate the download? (Mine said, 12 Hours to start with, but took under 2 minutes!)
    == This happened ==
    Not sure how often
    == When you install update to 3.6.4 (Possibly for every update?)

    The download should happen in the background (before you get an update window). I wonder why that didn't happen for you...\
    Did you manually check for updates?

  • Firefox would not connect after upgrade. Did system restore (XP) and not firefox wont even start

    Firefox would not connect after upgrade from verion 6 to version 7. Did system restore (XP) and now firefox wont even start

    Sometimes Firefox will hang during startup or shutdown, and still be running invisibly in the background. Usually in that case, you need to "kill" it either by restarting Windows or using the Windows Task Manager. It sounds as though you are familiar with opening the Processes tab, finding firefox.exe, and using End Process.
    If you use an advanced firewall or other security software that tracks which programs are permitted to use the internet, please see these articles:
    * [[Fix problems connecting to websites after updating Firefox]]
    * [[Configure firewalls so that Firefox can access the Internet]]
    A couple of other suggestions:
    (1) Can you start Firefox in its Safe Mode? Hold down the Shift key when starting Firefox. You should get a two-button dialog. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset). Any difference?
    (2) In case your regular software missed something that is interfering with Firefox, try the scanning and clean-up tools listed in this article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]

  • HT2736 I thought I purchased a gift card for my sister, however, I have not gotten a confirmation email. Can you tell me if it took.  They would not let me pruchase one on my ipad.  I guess too old!

    I thought I had sent my sister a gift card before the holidays.  I did not get confirmation and nothing arrived.
    So I tried to send a gift card to her from my ipad.  Would not let me.  Too old I guess.
    So now I am, one more time, trying to send her a gift and I thought I got the job done, however, I still have not gotten a confirmation that it was sent.
    Can you check to see if it is sent and or what the problem is.
    Thanks,
    Diane

  • For the 2nd day my iPhone 5 will not let me download updates for apps.  When i click update, it acts as if it is going to update but puts all apps in "waiting" status.  I've tried selecting each, as well as deleting and re-downloading but to no avail.

    For the 2nd day my iPhone 5 will not let me download updates for apps.  I've tried selecting each to click off wait, and have selected new updates indvidually instead of all together.  Also have shut the phone down and have even deleting the apps completely and re-downloaded but to no avail.  Each app continues to sit on my screen with the line below as if it is about to download but never does, and now any apps I've tried to updated will not let me use them.

    Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
    First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
    Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
    When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
    I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck!

  • HT6162 My phone will not let me download the most recent update for iOS 7.1. It says I need a wifi connection and will not allow me to push the 'Download & Install' button, even when I am at home and my wifi is on. How do I fix this?

    My phone will not let me download the most recent update for iOS 7.1. It says I need a wifi connection and will not allow me to push the 'Download &amp; Install' button, even when I am at home and my wifi is on. How do I fix this?

    Unfortunately yes, though technology would never move on if it kept to older standards and did not strive to do more.
    The app store always gives you the option to use a previous version of the app IF it is available for your device.
    Sorry but you are stuck without new hardware.
