How do I reinstall firefox after uninstalling and reboot when it tells me to reboot the computer and it's already been done?
OK, so generally my entire problem started because i am constantly facingan irritating "bad request" or something like that with xbox forums, like if I chose to restore my session for example, on FireFox version 3.6.20, which I only use because I don't like/understand the tab addtions and this appears to be the most updated version prior to it. So, I continued to uninstall it, I did a reboot of my computer, and proceeded to the site from which I downloaded this version, filhippo.com. Norton anvtivuris confirms nothing wrong with the set-up file, so i proc3eed to install, only to get hit with "Your computer must be restarted to complete a previous uninstall of Firefox. Do you want to reboot now?" WHY?! I've ALREADY completed this step! I tried a system restore in attempt to fix/set back this operation, and didn't make any difference. I'm on Windows 7, Ultimate, 64 bit, and because of this I now can't install ANY version of Firefox! What am I supposed to do about this so I can reinstall the browser?? if anyone has any possible info, please e-mail me/leave a reply back as soon as possible! Thank you.
As stevejobsfan0123 said by two years ago in this same discussion

Trying to play purchased TV series to my Apple TV, I am requested to authorise the computer. This has already been done and I have tried the suggestions regarding authorisation. I can play the programs on my computer, but not the Apple TV.
Any ideas?in remote app click on the
lower left corner on the text
top of the context menu click devices
choose the appletv rather then your shared lib in the list
if you are trying to view a movie that is located on your ipad on your tv using the appletv then
you should use airplay mirror not the remote app -
Recently Apple replaced the hard drive on Mac running Yosmite 10.10.2 and now when i try to rn FaceTime, the computer says "no camera available". Does anyone no how to fix this?
Assuming there is no hardware problem try reinstalling Yosemite. If this does not work then take it back to the Apple Store.
Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility and press the Continue button. After Disk Utility loads select the Macintosh HD entry from the the left side list. Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If Disk Utility reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Hi, I'm new to using mac laptop, i just got one 1 month a go, i was downloading adobe flash player and it asked me for a password for the computer and i never created one, how do i over pass this situation?
It is asking for your computer administrator account password to make system changes. You "should" have an administrator account password.

When i plug my iphone4 into the computer and itunes comes up, it says my "other" space is taking up about 1.94gb. what is this other and how do i reduce it to have more space on my phone?
Hi there kburgee! Other can be anything from App Data (information saved from apps like game progress, or passwords) to or old messages that you haven't deleted! The absolute best way to clean up some space is to restore your iPhone.

I updated to 7.1 and now when I plug my phone into the computer, it says there are no pictures??????
I updated to 7.1 and now when I plug my phone into the computer, it says there are no pictures?????? When I have 500 pictures on it!!!!! Im soooooo mad I did the update! Worst decision ever!!!!!!!!!! I am SOOOO ready to leave the IPHONE alone- maybe throw it in the river or lay it on the train tracks. Its been NOTHING BUT TROUBLE since the update!
Just to be clear: Tap on the Photos app to start the app. Then tap on Albums at the bottom of the screen. You might have several albums but only one is named "Camera Roll." Are there photos in that album?
If there are NO photos in the Camera Roll album there are no pictures to import. The remaining albums might have come from a sync with your computer or they might be your PhotoStream.
If there ARE photos in the Camera Roll album, connect your iPhone to your computer and start your camera application on the computer. Your phone should be recognized as a camera. -
When I connect my ipad to the computer and click import photos and videos, the computer says that there are no photos or videos on the ipad it says the file is empty I can't even add anything to the file!!!!!
It looks like the card may be the problem, and your best bet is to try the Card Reader - this will make the card accessible by the Finder and you may be able to drag the pics off to the desktop or, at worst, try recover the pics with an app like MediaRecover

Just recently I've noticed my apps wasn't working, they would just blink and then exit out. So I searched on here to find out what I should do, and I seen that someone said to restore the iPod. I did just so, but before I did I made sure I backed it up so I still had my files. But when I plugged it in there was no option of restoring from backup. I didn't know why, but I just added all of my old songs from before. However, when I unplug it (after my songs have been added) and plug it back in.. My songs aren't there anymore! This is very frustrating because it's done this to me 3 times and I'm not sure what to do.
The same thing happened to me when I updated to the new software when iPhone 4S came out.

This is for a duo core iMac, the initial release for duo core. The drag and drop feature had stopped working and reinstalling was recommended as a way to recover the function. ABut now the re-install is stopped at disk two, won't complete without as 4 language screen coming on saying i must shutdown.restart the computer. The computer won't accept any disk but disk two of the reinstall.Am I trapped forever? Are there keys i can hold down to ensure completion?
Whoever recommended a reinstall was talking through their hat, and wasn't trying to troubleshoot. They should have first checked if your data was backed up. If it isn't now, your drag and drop can't be completed anyway because you have a much bigger problem. 4 language screens can only be bypassed by restarting the Mac. They are known as kernel panics*:
http://www.macmaps.com/kernelpanic.html
And what you need to do is isolate the problem, not exacerbate it by adding new things to the machine. Drag and drop fails if an application doesn't support it in a particular region. Now I think the reinstall may have just filled up your hard disk and made it harder to troubleshoot. -
I touch will not charge or show up on the computer. It charges on the wall charger. I uninstalled and re-installed itunes and I also restarted the itouch and the computer. What next?
Play it safe with the charging. Use the wall charger for at least an hour and then connect to the computer. If iTunes still denies that it exists, go here:

How to import for other mac when the initial set up as already been done?
I've just got a new macbook from my organization but the IT people have already set up the system in order to install some applications. I know that when you open a new system, you can choose to import data from your old computer but how can you do this when the set up as already been performed without importing the data from the old computer? I don't want to reinstall the system since I would loose all the new applications and the IT people don't want to reinstall them.
My old laptop is an Ibook G4 1.07 with 10.3.9 and the new one is a macbook 2.16 GHz with 10.4.10.
Thanks for any help
ThierryHi Thierry,
You can connect the two Macs in *target disk mode*, see this document:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58583
and copy any file you need from the iBook to the MB.
Start with the safest though:
Use the "import" functions in all applications that offer this possibility.
Only with the files that you can't import through GUI, you can go on further and copy the Applications Support files, the Preferences, etc
(usually in Home/Library, some rare cases in Macintosh HD/Library).

Hi! my ipod broke today after I tried to sync it. There is a red error message on the screen and it makes an obnoxious clicking. Any help??
i've had this same problem on my 30 gig 5th generation. about a year ago, i had the same problem, called Apple support, they wanted me to pay about $100 to fix it with no guarantee that it would work. I left it alone for a long time (months), charged it up again, clicked it on and it worked. Just a few days ago, I got the clicking sound again. I don't recommend this but, after pushing the menu and center buttons simultaneously and trying to charge the Ipod, I finally whacked it between my hands a few times and it stopped clicking. I charged it, then plugged it in to my computer. I got an error message "1437", which they recommend restoring the IPod to the factory settings. This wiped out all the stuff stored on my device. Now, I have to figure out how to get the stuff back on and avert the 1437 error message.

How do multiple users with multiple devices share one computer with iTunes software to back up multiple devices and individual iTune libraries?
Hi Goodguy147,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The easiest way to have multiple users with multiple devices share a single computer is to create a User Account on your Windows PC for each person. Each person should also have a unique Apple ID. That will keep each individual's iTunes Library separate from the others and each individual can associate and backup several devices to their iTunes library.
Using your Apple ID for Apple services

The article below is a troubleshooting article for Windows. I'm just quoting the section from it that explains how to create user accounts:
iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1717?viewlocale=nl_nl
Follow the steps below to create a new user account in Windows Vista or Windows 7:
Choose Start > Control Panel.
Open "Add or remove user accounts." (If you're using the Classic view in Windows Vista, open "User Accounts," and then open "Manage another account.")
Select "Create a new account" and follow the instructions to set up the account.
Once you create the new account, choose Start > Log Off.
Log in to the new user account.
