Had nothing but problems with M-firefox 4-can we go back to 3?
We have experienced nothing but problems since we changed to mozilla firefox 4. We are not very computer literate+liked the basic style of FF 3. We would like to go back to FF 3-could we enlist your assistance?

Firefox is highly customizable and you may be able to customize it to meet your needs.
If you do not like the new UI, you can make Firefox 4 look and behave more like Firefox 3.6, for details see http://www.computertechtips.net/64/make-firefox-4-look-like-ff-3-6
To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data. See https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+Firefox
You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use
your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of
installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

before I downloaded 4.0 I used to be able to use more options with my work email, Lotus notes....now I get all kinds of errors....I never had any problems with the previous version.
Firefox 3.6 will still be supported with security updates for a while, so if you don't want to work on troubleshooting the specific problems, you can roll back.
First, make a backup of your computer for safekeeping. To back up Firefox, see [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information].
Next, download and save Firefox 3.6 to your desktop for future installation. http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older
Close Firefox 4, and uninstall it. Do not remove your personal data and settings, just the program.
Then finally you can reinstall Firefox 3.6. Unless you have installed an incompatible add-on, it should pick up where you left off. If there are serious issues, please post back with details.
Note: I haven't actually tried this myself!
By the way, someone else just posted about a Lotus email problem: [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/814413 The Webmail version of Lotus knows keep giving the following error message: A problem has occurred which may have caused the current operation to fail. How do I fix this? | Firefox Support Forum | Firefox Help]. You might bookmark that thread for future research. -

If you have difficulties fixing problems with software that is acting up I would suggest that you do a clean install of your OS and the software. That is, after backing up your files, of course.

Why does this stupid Apple TV not recognize my itunes account??
if you mean home sharing then
home sharing is not set on the appletv but on the itunes program on the computer which lib one wish to share
the home share password need not be the appleID password as homeshare is also meant to share your media with others on your LAN network whom you may not wish to know your appleID password
so home sharing password is set seperately in ituens on your computer -
Honestly i really wanna like apple but i keep having these horrible seemly unfixable problems. i have a life and rely on my phone for social activties, school work, my job and relationships so i need it to work 95% of the time but im always let down...
Make the time and take it to the Apple Store. Make an appointment first. Or you can call AppleCare and go for a mail in replacement.

First of all, my phone keeps resetting every few minutes, and secondly there are purple and orange lines that come up when I use my camera.
Ps, it's brand newIf the basics ( restart, reset, restore) fail, then make an appointment a the genius bar. If it is defective, then they will replace.

Nothing but problems with PDF Adobe reader
Hi
I've had nothing but problems for the past few weeks I'm sure it's maybe a new software version? I can't convert PDFs to Word anymore I keep getting this error message. An error occurred while trying to access the service for all documents.
It's slow at loading and I'm looking for a new program!Hi Mark,
Are you using Adobe Reader to access the Export pdf service to convert the file.
If so please update Reader to the latest v 11.0.10 and then check. Also make sure you are signed in with your Adobe ID in Reader.
Can you please also try signing in to the web url: https://cloud.acrobat.com/exportpdf with your Adobe ID and check if you are able to convert the file or not.
Regards,

I have had nothing but problems after downloading Lion and turning on ICloud. Can anyone tell if I can delete photos from Photostream and if not why not! it is infuriating
PhotoStream is purely a conduit for transferring pictures added to or taken on one device onto all the others seamlessly. Photos are held there only for 30 days. There is no way of accessing, viewing or deleting individual photos; you can reset the entire Photostream, erasing everything.

Wow, nothing but problems with BB Link after update
Since the last update to BB Link which included Outlook one-way sync of calendar and contacts, have had nothing but issues.
Link won't perform the Outlook sync. Says the phone is disconnected. It isn't!
Unless I have USB mass storage on the USB connection to computer won't recognize the phone.
Backup for both Playbook and Z10 are not working. One Z10 backup chance was presented, but Link crashed half way thru and has not offered another backup since on either the PB or phone.
I changed the frequency to daily (from weekly) to see if this would trigger a backup attempt...nope.
Conclusion: Link Stinks!Hi ForrestB,
Sorry to hear about the issue you are having. This KB article may be of some assistance resolving this issue. "BlackBerry Link will not detect BlackBerry 10 smartphone when connected using USB" KB33535
Let me know if that helps.

Upgraded to the most current Firefox 4.0.? It has taken over 2 screens of our Mac Pro computer (not the computer I'm using to write this). The window splinters and duplicates itself over and over causing problems with all the other programs. It also leaves ghost lines on screen. Even though we have closed things, it opens everything we have had open the day before.
DON'T WANT A BUNCH OF CURES. Just want to go back to 3.6. If you have a link to it, please provide.PS: did i mention that I am not able to access my online banking, etc? i apologize for the cranky tone of this post, but i am really desperate and need quick assistance in how to remove the current version of firefox and reload the last one.

Has anyone out there been having any problems with Itunes since updating Itunes. First it lost all our music (which I recovered), now it won't find my phone when I plug it in.
I hate to say it, but Apple is literally infamous for teething problems on new releases. It's usually fixed in two days, though that fix usually gets fixed, too, so sometimes a week, but does means downloading new updates.
My (experienced) advice? Wait a couple of days, check for updates, try again. Pray (or whatever works for you) that you don't have the "lost Apple Device Driver" problem several people are having.
I keep an older version of iTunes installer on a backup drive (or just in my downloads folder), just for such events. Worst-case, I've always been able to uninstall iTunes (including driver and user info), then install my old version of iTunes and roll on. Yes, my iTunes folder is on an external hard drive, so I can move it around to my different computers, and then keep a backup of that hard drive on a second external hard drive. Saves me a ton of headaches. -
Since update to iOS 7 on my iPad 2 I have had nothing but crashes and wonkiness. What can I do?
Initially there were many frozen screens. Yesterday that stopped, but the crashes are increasing. It goes to the black screen with the Apple, and can happen as often as a couple of times in a minute. I am going crazy!
(A) Reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Note: Data will not be affected.
(B) Reset all settings
Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings
Note: Data will not be affected but settings will be reset. -
Nothing but problems with Firefox 4
It's obvious why Firefox 4 is beta and not just a big update on top of 3.6.
First, typing text makes weird marks in front of the text cursor. Next, with every update, Adblock Plus is uninstalled, forcing me to install it again. This is very irritating, since I use it. Last, the feedback button is missing. I can no longer provide feedback with the click of "Firefox made me happy/unhappy." Why?Win7 - 64bit / FF4.0b10
Not to rub salt in a wound, but with the newest beta installed, everything is running smooth and error-free for the first time for me.
In the meantime, if you want to add the feedback option back onto to your browser, you can always go to the add-ons & install 'Test Pilot' directly:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/test-pilot
(not sure why it's not showing up for you).
