How can I re-install v11 Fox without losing everything ?

The problems with it are escalating. I would like to reinstall v10 perhaps? (Advice?) .
AND not lose all the extensions etc.
Can I uninstall V11 or just get a new copy of 10 and load over - or try v11 again?
I really need to get back to work and my options are to go to another Browser without all my workaday tools.....
Hate to go to I.E> and try and import.

What problems are you having with Firefox 11? i'd love to help you out with them so then we can get you using Firefox like you want!
You don't want to downgrade to Firefox 10, as doing so will leave you open to several known security holes, plus bugs and other issues. You can reinstall Firefox 11 from [http://www.getfirefox.com www.getfirefox.com] (all your personal data will be saved so long as you don't remove Firefox before hand), and see if that helps.
Try to start Firefox in [[Safe mode|Safe mode]]. This mode disables all extensions, user customizations, hardware acceleration, etc. temporarily for diagnostic and troubleshooting. If Firefox works find in Safe Mode, then this is likely an add-on issue. Restart Firefox in normal mode, then type "About:addons" (without the quotes) in the address bar. Disable your extensions one by one, restarting Firefox between each one, until you find the trouble maker. Once you do, you can disable that add-on and report the issue to that add-on's developer.
A few other basic trouble shooting things you can try is this:
Run all Windows Updates, install all needed service packs, etc.
Update your graphics driver (Firefox uses your graphics card for some rendering, and an out of date graphics card driver can cause problems. [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers].
Update all your plugins (Flash, Java, etc.): [http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/ http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/].
Download and Install MalwareBytes Anti-Malware, run a full Scan. [http://www.malwarebytes.org/ http://www.malwarebytes.org/]. This helps check that there are no viruses on your computer causing issues. You can uninstall this program after you clean off any infections.

  • When i tried to download iOS8 on my iPad Mini it told me that I needed to connect my iPad to iTunes, I have done that and now it says I need to restore my iPad. How can I get my iPad working without losing everything on my iPad?

    When i tried to download iOS8 on my iPad Mini it told me that I needed to connect my iPad to iTunes, I have done that and now it says I need to restore my iPad. How can I get my iPad working without losing everything on my iPad? I don't want to lose my apps and photos!
    Help would be much appreciated!

    If you are getting the connect to iTunes screen then it's too late to take a new backup and/or copy anything off it. Prior to starting the update did you take a backup, either to the cloud and/or to your computer's iTunes ? If not then have you recently taken a backup that might have your photos and apps content/settings in it ?
    As long as the apps are still in your country's store then you should be able to redownload them via the Purchased tab in the App Store app (and the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes), and if the apps store their content on a server/cloud service then you might be able to get their content back from that - if they store their content on the device then you will need to have a backup.
    For our photos you could try doing a search for programs that claim to be able to recover content from a device - I haven't used any so I can't suggest one.

  • How can I change my iCloud account without losing everything on my iPhone?

    When I got my iPhone 4S, I created my own Apple ID with my own information. When my mom got her iPhone a few months later, she used my Apple ID to get it going. I didn't think any harm would come of it, so I let her. But ever since then, she gets all of my iMessages and I get hers. It's really annoying and there's no privacy. I tried asking her to change her ID and get her own, but she doesn't want to. So I figured I would be the one to change even though the information (email address, etc.) on this ID that we share is all mine.
    But I'm not quite sure how to do that, and I'm skeptical because I've heard that I might lose all my photos and other saved content. If anyone can help, I would really appreciate it. Thank you in advance.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    iTunes, iCloud, Messages and FaceTime are all seperate services. You could change your ID for Messages without affecting anything else. If you wish to change your ID for iCloud, you would need to save your data, please let us know if you wish to use another ID for more than messages.

  • How can I use a new computer without deleting everything on iPod?

    Hey Guys
    I need a bit of help.
    My old computer died, it was running Windows XP. I've got myself a new computer running Windows 7.
    I have a copy of my iTunes folders from my old computer (taken 2 days before it died)
    How can I use a new computer without deleting everything on iPod touch?
    I've imported all the folders (music, apps etc) into the new computer's iTunes, but when I sync my iPod
    I receive a window asking if i want to sync i need to erase and replace with the iTunes library on the computer.
    I particularly don't want to do this.
    My wife also uses my iTunes for her iPhone.
    Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

    Make a backup of the iPod by connecting the iPod to the computer and right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and selecting Backup. Then restore the iPod from that backup and sync as necessary.

    my old email address was hacked and I am no longer able to access it. How can i reset my icloud ID without losing all of my pictures and more importantly contacts? I have created a new ID but i cannot seem to use it until I delete the old account

    You need to use the old ID and password to delete the iCloud account. After you delete the old account, you can sign in with the new ID in iCloud.
    Have you seen this.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5796
    iCloud
    iOS 6 and later: Go to Settings > iCloud.
    If you signed out before changing your Apple ID, enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download to your device.
    If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID:
    Scroll down and tap Delete Account. Depending on what iCloud options are turned on, you'll be asked to confirm that you want to delete data from your device. To confirm, tap Delete. (If you're using iOS 7 and have Find My iPhone turned on, you'll be asked to enter the password for your previous Apple ID. Enter the password, then tap Turn Off.) The data will be deleted from your device, but not from iCloud.
    Enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download again to your device.

    Will I lose my emails I have on there? I have numerous client email files and can't afford to lose any of them. I do have everything backed up but I'm fearful of losing important client info. What if something happened during the back up and it doesn't have my files?

  • How can I make a drive bootable without losing data on it?

    Is there a way to make a second internal drive bootable without losing the data that is already on it?
    The second drive was created under Panther 10.3.9. My main internal drive has had a clean install of Tiger 10.4.3. The second drive used to appear in the start up disk list when I was running 10.3.9 on the main drive. That is, it used to be bootable under 10.3.9. No kidding. After the main drive was given a clean install of Tiger, the second drive disappeared from the start up disk list. Please note: the second drive remains completely accessible when I am running off the main drive in 10.4.3. I can even use the few applications I had placed on the drive. It appears as separate drive under disk utility.
    I assume the second drive was installed as slave. (Both it and the main drive were independently bootable under 10.3.9.) It is not locked. "Ignore ownership" is not checked. The system has read-write privileges. Admin has read-write all others are read only. I am the only person who has access to this machine. It is not networked.
    I tried to ask this question a few days ago, but I think the way I phrased it confused the issue. My real question is NOT how did this get like this? It is can I make a drive bootable when it already has data on it?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Thanks for your reply.
    You replied:
    the drive that you cannot
    boot from is a separate physical hard drive from the
    internal drive with 10.4.3. Is that correct?
    Yes.
    Have you used System Preferences > Startup Disk and
    looked to see if the 10.3.9 system shows up there?
    Yes, I have looked and it's not there.
    I got the impression that you have backed up the 10.3.9
    disk and that you do not really need the data there.
    Yes, I backed up a drive that was bootable, but then it lost its "bootabilty" and what I got was two non-bootable drives--the original second internal drive that I'm asking about and the back-up of it. I want the data on the drive and I wan the drive to be bootable.
    One thing that you might try when you are booted off
    your 10.4.3 system is to use Disk Utility, select the
    other disk and do a Repair Disk.
    Done that and it says there is no problem. Nada. Zero. It just won't boot, no more, no how, no way. BUT it remains fully accessible--I can access all my info. It's just become a storage drive that cannot be booted. Go figure.
    reformatting means
    destroying the data on the disk.
    Yup, which is why I asked my original question. Does anyone know if there is any way to make a drive bootable without destroying the data on it?
    I suspect the answer is no (given these particulars), but I thought some wise super-techie out there might have a trick up their sleeve.

  • Got Firefox Sync but lost my Key how can i get my data back without delete everything ?

    My computer was deleted, i don't have any others devices ? How can i get back my information.
    Apparently, there is no solution, this is shame. Why in my account i can't get back my key https://account.services.mozilla.com/ ? This service is useless if when we have a problem (all devices stolen for example) we can't get back any information...
    I'm really disappointed, and so are others people as far as i can see. I have to start from the beginning all my bookmarks, so i will use Chrome from now. Thanks a lot Mozilla.

    Sorry, but you're using Sync incorrectly if you don't have any other devices connected to that Sync account.
    Sync wasn't intended to be a "cloud" storage device; it's intended to be used to "synchronize" a user's across multiple devices. Upon completion of the initial setup of Sync procedure, the user is shown the Recovery Key and is told to make a copy of that "key". There are buttons in the dialog window to "save" to disk or to "print" the Recovery Key. Unfortunately, too many users just ignored that message (or ignored it) and put themselves in the same position that you are now in - lost data and no way to recover that data.
    The Sync / Recovery Key is used to encrypt your data as it is being uploaded to the Sync server and then used to decrypt your data when it is downloaded to one of your devices. Without the exact Sync Key that the user's data was encrypted with, the user's data is useless scrambled bunch of 1's and zero's.
    Firefox 29 has a new version of Sync that eliminates the need for the user knowing their Recovery Key. The method that generates that "key" uses the user account name (email address) and the user password, so in the future user's shouldn't find themselves in the same position that you are now in.
    ''IMO, Mozilla provided too much security by having that 3rd security "key" (the Recovery Key), considering how many user's aren't using Sync as it was intended to be used.''

  • I have an old ipod that got put through the washer. I want to restore it but i already have a new ipod. How can i restore my old ipod without losing all of my new itunes songs?

    I accidently put my old 2nd generation Ipod nano through the washer a few years ago. Well after that it would no longer work do to water damage. After a while i got a new Ipod (the same type) and was able to get new songs to put on it and what not. Well i was playing around with the one i washed opne day and found that i could still restore it on iTunes. However, it wont let me restore it without losing all of my music and what not that i got for the new one. I would like to continue to use the old one, but I am afraid of losing all of my current stuff. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how i can restore the old and keep the new? I am in desperate need.

    Well, two thoughts.
    The battery has completely discharged and will take overnight to recharge, so don't expect much in an hour.
    The battery has deep discharged and is now dead. It will never recharge and should be replaced.

    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.

    There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task. Start with Google to search for these.
    The flat fee for a battery exchange is, I believe, $99.00 USD.

  • Father's macbook now mine. How can I change name, admin, etc without losing apps and programs?

    Hello.
    My father bought a Macbook Pro 15'  retina 8Gb ram 256Gb SSD about 2 months ago.
    He set it up, bought many apps and programs but eventually got bored of it and gave it to me.
    He is not a Mac enthusiast and thought he should give it a try but he didn't stick to it.
    I'm not a Mac enthusiast either, but a good notebook is an ok present so I took it.
    I installed some programs and stuff, tried to learn how it works (I have no idea, I was always using windows), and I think I like it.
    However, the MacBook has my father's name, my father is the admin, and all the apps programs etc the he and I bought and installed are in his account.
    I have his password though. That's how I've been using it the whole time.
    How can I change the MacBook to make it "my own"?
    I have an apple ID cause I have an iPhone etc but I'm sure just changing that under the admin page won't be enough.
    Will I lose the apps my father bought?
    Will I have to reinstall all the programs that I installed while I was using the MacBook? For example will photoshop and capture nx be deleted as if I was formatting a pc and I will have to install them again?
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    PS. MacBook is now running Mavericks OS X 10.9.4 and I want to upgrade.
    But first I want to make myself the "owner" to start getting things in the right order.

  • How can I do a hard reset without losing app data?

    I have international texting on my phone and it's having an issue sending images to my friends overseas. The words go through but no media.
    I have Verizon's More Everything plan and after two days trying to get this sorted on their end, they want me to try a hard reset and test the texting before I restore my backup to see if it's something in the phone.
    the last time I had to do this I lost EVERYTHING regarding data in my apps. Some of the apps I have now I cannot afford to lose the info stored in them.
    I need to make sure that I can restore safely once we are done with the troubleshooting.
    If I have to manually put my items back in, HOW can I do that with the apps I really need the data preserved?
    FYI - ALL my settings for iMessage are correct.
    My international friends are not using iPhone AND I checked my settings there and they too are correct.
    So, before I go and wipe everything out, can someone reassure me with some directions and ease my worries?

    I know the difference between a hard RESET and a full RESTORE. My mistake in the OP was mixing up the WORDS.
    If you read carefully, you would have probably figured it out without all this arguing.
    I'm going to make this simple ok?
    Verizon wants me to do do a RESTORE and NOT put my data back in from the backup.
    They want me to test what is broken to see if it works.
    If it works, then i am to RESTORE THE BACKUP and test again.
    I just don't want to lose data on the backup and restore. I have indeed lost data with restoring a backup when iOS 7 came out. It was a disaster.
    I fully understand what you are saying but I am TRYING to explain that it failed the last time I had to do this. I cannot make myself any more clear.
    Now, I think I'm done with this since it's all become such a topic of contention. All I wanted to know is if it could be done without losing data and now the stupid cloud comes into it, those with good intentions are getting yelled at by the guy with the basketball avatar and I just don't have the strength to keep repeating myself.
    All of this would be so easy if people took the time to read all the words and when / if not sure, read it again. That's what I do and I find it helpful.
    You should probably go back and re read all of my response to you.  Which answered all your question.  I don't need to repeat myself again and again.

  • How can I change a restrictions passcode without losing all the restricted settings?

    We have two iPads for two boys... both are heavily restricted.  One of my boys saw the passcode and I changed it by disabling and then re-enabling restrictions, only to be shocked when ALL MY SETTINGS were reverted to default and DIDNT come back after enabling restrictions again.  How can I change the passcode on the other iPad without losing all the settings, especially the long list of blocked websites?
    Thanks in advance.

    What good would the passcode be if you could bypass it like that?

    I have ipad version 4.3.2 and I want to update to ios7.  However, I cannot backup my musics on itune.  How can I update without losing my musics?

    Updating will not cause you to lose data but things can always go wrong. You should definitely backup before you update. I assume you have music on the device that was not purchased in iTunes and synced with a different iTunes library. You can transfer these songs back to your computer with third party software such as TouchCopy.
