  • How do I uninstall Google Drive so that I can reinstall the upgrade?

    I have a Mac Air, Processor 1.7 GHz Intel Core i5 running OS X (10.9.3)
    I have been using Google Drive to share files with friends and family but this week began getting a pop-up that I need to upgrade my Google Drive software.
    I downloaded the file from Google but when I try to install/replace, I get the following two messages:
    The operation can’t be completed because the item “Google Drive” is in use.
    The operation can’t be completed because a required item is in use.
    My browser is closed so I don't know why it appears that the software is in use.
    So, I checked this forum and found that because of some problems with Google Drive and OS X, I need to "uninstall" my current Google Drive application but I don't know how to do that.
    Can someone please tell me, step-by-step, how to completely uninstall this software so that I can reload the newer version?
    Thanks so much for your help!

    Open Google Drive window. Click On "Settings" at top of window. Select move to trash. Then Empty Trash.

  • How do I stop Fire Fox auto Updates?

    all of the boxes are properly checked and it still updates. I want total control of what goes on my computer. I hate auto updates, I want to tell it when and if to update. I am about to uninstall Fire Fox and change if I can't solve this. How do I stop you from over riding my settings of NEVER check , never update ? I do not let any one or any program change anything on my computer NO MATTER WHAT! SO what gives, how do I stop you from doing it?

    Save the file. Then;
    Using your file browser, open the '''Programs''' folder on your computer.
    '''Windows:''' C:\Program Files
    C:\Program Files (x86)
    '''Mac:''' Open the "Applications" folder.

    Look for, and rename any Mozilla and Firefox folders by adding '''.old''' to them.

    If all goes well, remove the OLD folders when you are done.

  • Before removing iPhoto (latest update crashed the app), I accidently removed it from my purchased Apps from the App Store. I accept iPhoto when I search for it, but does not put it back in my list. How do I get this back so that I can reinstall iPhoto?

    Thank you.

    I found the answer just after posted this.  Thanks to a user named CloudWalker.  Solution is to go in AppStore, View Account under "Store" Menu and unhide any purchases.

  • How do I remove Fire Fox as the default setting on my eMac computer. I am unable to open some files I need to open with Fire Fox.

    I receive a newsletter that has information I need. Since I chose Fire Fox as my default setting, I haven't been able to open it. It was so easy making Fire Fox my default, but not so easy to remove it.

    You should at least install the latest Firefox 3.6.28 version for your Mac OS X 10.4 PPC computer instead of the current Firefox 3.6.18 version.

  • I cannot uninstall fire fox

    im having problems with fire fox it seems that it has a virus and i cannot uninstall it from programs and features

    According to your installed plugins list in your posting you don't even have Flash installed for Firefox. IE uses a different version of Flash '''(ActiveX)''' than is needed by other browsers '''(Plugin version)'''.

  • I know this is in trouble shooting but don't understand how to reset in fire fox 4, can't save tabs for next session?

    when i updated lost the message do you want to keep tabs for next sessions can you do it with the new version of fire fox i knowit is in help but don't understand how to fix it .
    Martin

    OK and when I run desktop manager then what do I do?  There are no instructions after this setup with my mobile carrier, they just leave me hanging.  Also, is my phone going to be wiped or will it just update the OS?  I don't want to lose all my settings that took me hours to setup on this thing and have to redo everything all over again.  Backup?  I don't understand how to do that either (again all of this is new to me).  I don't have a second phone where I can call T-Mobile on the phone and have them walk me through it, I only have my cell that's it.  They refuse to give me instructions unless I'm on another phone when I call them, why they won't let me write them down is beyond me...these carriers are getting mighty picky these days on customer service/technical support.

  • How do I stop Fire fox from down loading adds about fat women and up dates

    I use Windows 7 the browser Internet Explorer is troublesome with banking programs, so I changed to Fire Fox BUT there are too many add on's, you never know what it is going to do next one minute it giving out security messages, the next it is using popups to advertise weight reduction and trying to get me to up date something to play music .
    I don't want all that shite, I remember years ago I used Mozilla but it made such a big deal out of everything I got rid of it, is there a version I could buy just so I don't have to put up with that rubbish of jiggling adds?
    I do not want flashy, look at me sort of software, I want soft ware that is a quiet achiever , just do the job and wait till you ask for help then dangle your adds.
    I f you can't suggest a remedy then it's going , the way of the DODO never to return .
    And I don't want some " piss in your pocket excuse" fix it or delete
    And when I do try to change it and ask for support I get answers like "Firefox prevented this site ( support.mozilla.org) from asking you to install software on your computer"
    Then when you press ok I get "The add on could not be downloaded because a connection failure on support.mozilla.org"
    I have tried the manual steps but there is no Trobleshooting information on this page , there is no help on this page.
    I think you guys are on another planet or you smoke too much weed, I fact I might delete it now and not wait for you to come out of the basement with an answer and i see at he bottom you already have educated guesses as to what is wrong, I know what is wrong, "too many add on stuff" you must have a line in the software that goes something like " when in doubt put another pop up in goto line 7 put another popup in.

  • I tried to download adobe flash progam but before I can not finish the dowload I am asked to close mozilla fire fox. How do I close fire fox? How do I close this program so I can down load adobe flash drive.

    the download get to 50% AND THEN TELLS ME TO CLOSE MOZILLA Fire fox. I need help to close this progam so I can finish the download.

    There are two different versions of Flash, the '''''ActiveX''''' version for IE and the '''Plugin''' version used by most other browsers.
    1.Download the Flash Plugin version setup file from here: <br />
    [http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. <br />
    Save it to your Desktop.<br />
    2. Close Firefox using File > Exit <br />
    then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, <br />
    {XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
    3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
    4. Start Firefox and test your installation here: https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    * On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen). <br />

  • How do I download fire fox ver 5.0 and NOT 6.0

    My bank on line system requires fire fox 5.o. That is the version I need to down load and NOT 6.0

    Install the new version of GetMail. <br />
    http://webdesigns.ms11.net/getmail.html
    That extension isn't hosted an AMO, which makes it a lot harder (and more expensive) for the developer of that extension to provide automatic updates for that extension.
    ''"beer" fund donations probably wouldn't cover the costs for secure HTTPS web host costs, which would make automatic updates possible, IMO''

  • Fat Cow website is saying the editing funtion problems I am having in editing my website is due to the Fire Fox brouser. What can I do to resolve this issue.

    I have had a website, advancedesdservices.com, for several years now and used their editor to completed it, Site Deluxe. Explorer would not let me open the Site Deluxe tool within Fat Cow and they suggested I load an advanced Browser such as Fir Fox. I did and it allowed me to open the tool. However with Fire Fox the editing tools in Site Deluxe do not function such as cut, paste, spell check. The Fire Fox spell check identifies miss spellings but do not allow replacement word suggestions. Fat Cow is stating that it must be an issue with Fire Fox and suggested I ask you or load another Browser. Any suggestions??
