Hi, my computer's too old to download 3.6.24 and it says that the older version will stop being supported soon, so how can I continue to use Firefox, I can't afford a new computer? It crashes a lot too, I've been told that's because it's old too.

It seems to crash after a period of time and then will keep crashing constantly if I keep trying to open up Firefox. It does the same with Safari. It's a mac running on 10.5.8. Is it possible to download and use older versions of Firefox? Help! Please.

There are some recovery programs out there if you google them - many with free trials. I haven't tried them so I have no opinion.Read any professional tech and user reviews you can find before you try one. I have read here in the past that some have worked for people who have posted here. 
To help in the future, have you considered using Jump Desktop - Remote Desktop? I know it won't solve the problem you're dealing with now (unless notes were taken on your computer.) It's in the app store. It's the #1 paid app in the business category and the reviews are great. It allows you to see anything that's on your computer on your ipad. If you take your notes on your ipad then you might want to email them to yourself, put them on Word in your computer, for example, and then if you need them in class, you remotely connect your ipad to your computer and you will see your notes. This way you won't have to rely so much on the cloud. The explanation would be too long here, but you might want to take a look at it. You can use the free trial on jumpdesk.com and then if it works for you, buy it in the app store. 
Meanwhile, it's hours since you sent this post. Hopefully others who can help solve your problem who are on this forum now can help you. I hope you get your notes back. Don't give up too quickly.
Hope this helps.

    Was the iPad originally set up on a different computer, and hasn't been synced to the one that you are now trying to use ? There are some instructions on this page for syncing to a new computer : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141
    (Before trying that you could copy any important files/documents off the iPad so that you have you own backup copy of them e.g. depending upon what the apps support then email them to yourself, use Dropbox, copy them to your computer via your wifi-network.)
    You should be able to copy iTunes purchases off the iPad and over to that computer's iTunes via File > Devices  Transfer Purchases, but if you have music from other sources (e.g. copied from CDs) which aren't in that computer's iTunes (and you haven't got a backup to copy them onto it from) then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy them back : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    For recovery mode, that will result in your iPad being put back to factory defaults i.e. all of your content will be removed from it

    If you can't remember your passcode, you'll need to restore your phone.  If you never synched to iTunes, all data on your phone will be erased.  No way around this.

  • I have upgraded to newer version of labview, and the older versions of LavVIEW are now piling up. Can I uninstall the older versions? if yes how?

    Do I have to keep all the old versions of LabVIEW as I did not uninstall the older versions, but only downloaded the latest version of labview from the website and installed it. A new version and icon is installed on my PC now. What can I do?

    You asked "Do I have to keep all the old versions...". Of course not. You can do whatever you want. Each version of LabVIEW installs in its own directory, which is what allows you to keep multiple versions installed in case you need to support programs written in earlier version that cannot be upgraded yet for whatever reason. Conflicts may arise if you install older versions later than new ones and you install the libraries for the hardware interfaces like VISA and such. Older versions of these libraries sometimes cause problems with newer versions of LabVIEW.
    If you do not want multiple versions, common practice is to completely uninstall the current version before installing the new one. If you have more than two versions but only want the latest, simply uninstall the older ones from the main NI installer. Depending on how old the versions are that you are uninstalling something with the new one may break so you may need to repair that installation. You may just want to simply uninstall all NI software and then just do a clean install of the latest version. That will likely be your best course of action.

  • Have both FF 33.1 and 34.0.5. Can I, and should I, delete the older version?

    This non-computer savvy senior citizen female is trying to clean up my Dell laptop (windows XP SP3) for the new year. What trash I've accumulated! Anyway, noticed I have 2 versions of Firefox. Version 33.1 is 79.58MB and version 34.0.5 has 84.4MB. Can I delete from my computer the older version? ... If someone answers this, please explain in simple language! ... Thank you in advance. ... HEALTHY New Year to everyone!

    That is to say, remove Version 33.1

  • I fully downloaded an audiobook on my iPad and it started working fine but then it stopped reading my book. How can I get it to work again?

    I downloaded an audiobook and it started working but then it stopped. Is there anyway I can redownload my audiobook so that it starts working completely?

    This is a ridiculous policy and it interferes with how most people would listen to an audio book since they are quite lengthy. I'm traveling, so I throw the audio book on using my iPad and I get 60% of the way through the book on my trip. I come home, I want to listen to the rest of it via iTunes on my stereo through AirPlay. And this can't be done?
    This is the last audiobook I buy from iTunes until they *fix* this... and it IS something that requires fixing whether that means negotiating more aggressively with the audiobook providers or changing something at the software layer. It completely ruins many peoples' experience!
    It's funny because a friend of mine suggested buying it, then downloading it from a torrent just so I could use the book the way I wanted to use the book. Is it not sad that to create a positive overall user experience you have to resort to downloading something off a torrent?
    iTunes is supposed to make things easy and accessible. I agree with jamusick's posting -- this isn't the vision Steven Jobs had for the future. This is a road block on the way there.

  • I just bought my bf the new ipad mini. He tries to download a free app and it says that he has to pay for it. Help plz

    So i bought my bf the ipad mini. Im out of the country and he wants to download Skype to talk to me. Well when he tried to download it, it is saying that he has to pay for it. He also tried to download the youtube app and it is telling him the same thing. His wifi is on and he is able to get on the internet so what is the problem???? Why are they trying to charge him for the free app???? Can someone plz help me....

    Those are fee apps, should not be actually charged. Are you sure is not being asked to verify he's the actual account holder by adding billing info to the account? Even though your're not getting billled, the account holder identity still has to be verified.

  • I can't use RealPlayer with Firefox version 5. I must have the previous version back to do my work. How can I get it?

    I depend on RealPlayer for many things - work that I can only open files I need with it. There isn't a version that now works with the newest version of Firefox. How can I get the previous version of Firefox back so I can use my computer to do my business work? Unfortunately I can't wait for updates on RealPlayer to keep meeting updates to Firefox. I can't use version 5 of Firefox because it disabled RealPlayer - hence Firefox has made my doing work on my laptop impossible if I use Firefox, If there is no remedy to go back a version, I'll just go back to IE exclusively. Money is money. Thanks so much for your help!

    I had this same problem when my school's email page refused to work in Firefox 5. I solved it by installing the User Agent RG extension, then changing my user agent to IE7 before accessing my school email. Once you install the extension, you'll have to show your menu bar when you want to use it, then you'll find the User Agent submenu under the Tools menu. Hope this works for you, too.

  • Can't update my Ipod classic's software. My Window's Vista Home Edition will not load the latest version of Itunes, and the older versions will not allow my Ipod to connect to the update server

    I have an Ipod Classic, 80 gig. It's over 3 years old. I have a Samsung SensR410 laptop, also over 3 years old, running Vista Home Premium 32bit but '64bit Compatible'
    I had iTunes 8.
    One day my Ipod stopped working.
    I formatted it.
    I uninstalled iTiunes.
    I re-installed iTunes.
    But the latest version would not be loaded on my PC. I chose English as the language, but because I bought my laptop in Korea, some parts of the installation were in Korea. I uninstalled it, following the steps here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
    I re-installed iTunes 8. It loaded, but when I plugged in my Ipod, it said that the Ipod needed to be updated/restored, 'click to contact updater' but then it could not contact the server. I tried: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1814but it didn't help.
    I tried downloading iTunes 9, it loaded, but the Ipod would not connect.
    Help, please!

    Hi Edward,
    You should still be able to manually manage the music on your iPhone within iTunes. Make sure that when your iPhone is plugged in, look in the Summary tab to see if “Manually manage music and videos” is enabled and you can even you turn off Automatically Sync when this iPhone is connected. Take a look at the first article below to give more information on that. As far as your other questions about calling someone, I have provided two options for you. If it is for feedback on iTunes, you can use the second link to give detailed feedback on what is going on. If you want to actually talk to someone, the last link has a list of numbers for you to call for any support or service that you may need.

  • My Generation 7 iPod is not being recognised by either my PC or my laptop.  My older 2gb iPod IS being recognised though.  How can I get the Gen 7 iPod to be recognised?  This is a recent issue, as it was working fine before.

    My 7th Generation iPod has suddenly stopped being recognised by my PC and laptop.  I have updated all operating systems for Windows and iTunes, yet it still will not be found.  I have had the Generation 7 since June 2013.
    I have plugged in both my 7th Generation and my 2nd Generation iPods (7th first, then 2nd a few minutes later on.), and the 2nd generation was picked up instantly.
    I have checked to ensure that it is not a problem with the USB port, and that is recognising and installing drivers as necessary, so before I take the iPod back to the store, is there anything else that I can try to get it to be found.
    Both iPods had run out of charge if that helps.
    Thank you in advance.

    At present I have no power to the Gen 7, so need to get some power to it I think.  I pressed the buttons as you suggested, but nothing is showing up at this point.  Thank you for your response as the more I can rule out before  I take it back the better I think.
