I always get the following message when launching firefox:

Unable to connect
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at www.yahoo.com.hk.
The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
I have reset firefox and reinstalled firefox, but still could not resolve the problem.

Do you ''want'' firefox to be going to that website when it starts? Are you able to visit other websites in firefox other than yahoo.com.uk? Are you able to visit the site from another computer on the same network? Can you browse the website from the same computer but from a different browser?
If you are able to browse other websites then it is not likely to be a problem with Firefox, but is more likely the website itself or a problem with the DNS resolution being used by your computer network.
If you cannot browse other websites this is most likely a networking problem rather than a Firefox problem.
If you can do what you are trying to do in another browser on the same system, but not in Firefox, then this is more interesting and you need help with Firefox, but please check and make sure it is a problem with Firefox first.

The story goes on. I am sharing this with other users for information only based on my experience with the product. I've owned a MAC since they were first introduced in 1984 and have used Norton for years. If the virus Bloodhound was real, and not just a false heuristic positive (which is totally possible) it came in on the heels of my downloading a free PDF OCR X (before reinstalling the updated version of Norton for 10.8.3) and using it to convert .jpgs > PDF OCR X text >MS Word > Adobe .pdf as that virus (Bloodhound.PDF.20 is known for exploiting weaknesses in Acrobat and Adobe .pdfs). I have never been happy having to use the MS Office suite of office products for MAC, but EXCEL on a PC is only compatibile with EXCEL on a MAC.
When I got the Bloodhound warning after running a quick scan, I ran a full scan (1,050,660 files) with the same result. I looked at my terminal - nothing happening. I called Norton, who in turn convinced me to purchase an $89.98 subscription + $19.95/month for their spyware and virus removal service (the same sales pitch I've heard from other security providers who sell services through panic). The tech, who said it was probably false, played around with my computer via remote login, and then signed off, saying everything was okay. I reran a full scan and there was the virus again. Called tech support again. Finally got the virus quarantined and tossed it. The reality is that there was a 50/50 chance that it was something because of the way MS Word was behaving when I tried to save the file created from the ocr'd jpgs (error message: disk full- when I have 250GB of free disk space). I had to resave the files with a different name and place them in alternating folders. That havoc is now gone, but I will not be keeping the subscription. Just FYI.

I just found a way to get Fixit to Run. Go to http://support.microsoft.com/fixit/ and then pick "Install or upgrade software or hardware" and run Fixit from the "Run" button on the webpage. I just picked run, instead of save, and ran it directly from the web page for each of the apple software. If the window doesn't come up full size, hit "Tab" twice and then "Return". You'll be able to see the prompts from there. Have it attempt to uninstall iTunes on its own. Repeat the process for any of the other Apple products, including Bonjour and iCloud. Then, go to the iTunes website and install from there. I had a downloaded copy and installed from there, but it came up with an error about missing the apple help, or something like that. It allowed me to uninstall, and I reinstalled direclty from the website, and it all works now.

problem updating to iphoto 9.6 after upgrading to Yoesmite I am getting the following message when I try top date iPhoto This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or canc

"This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled." ?
This error message will appear erraneously, if you skipped the update to Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5.1 and went straight from an earlier MacOS X version to Yosemite, without first updating to iPhoto 9.5.1 and associating iPhoto to your AppleID.
Try first to buy iPhoto with your AppleID instead of updating. Delete iPhoto from Applications, but don't empty the Trash, then go to the main page of the App Store and search for iPhoto. If you are lucky, it will show as free and you can buy it directly.
If iPhoto is not showing as free, there is no help but contacting the App Store Support: Ask for a redemption code. You will need to provide a prove of purchase for your mac with iPhoto preinstalled.

If I'm in LIghtroom 5, and try to Edit in Photoshop CS6, I always get the following message: "This version of Lightroom may require the Photoshop Camera Raw plug-in version 8.6 for full compatibility." But I have updated to 8.6 and have no remaining updates. How can I fix this?
If I click "Open Anyway" or "Render using Lightroom", I get the following message:
"Adobe Photoshop CS6 cannot be opened because of a problem.
Check with the developer to make sure Adobe Photoshop CS6 works with this version of OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and OS X."
Please tell me what to do so I can edit from Lightroom to Photoshop.

In Photoshop, if you choose Help - About Plug-in... - Camera Raw, does it say 8.6?
Seems to me there was some hiccup they found in the update process, which prompted this:
Camera Raw updates cannot be applied
I honestly don't know if the problem could apply to 8.6 as well, which is why I asked you to check to make very sure you really got it.

Which way are you trying to update? WiFi or iTunes? In either case, I would try restarting/rebooting all devices and then try again.
IF you are using iTunes, eject your iPad, quit iTunes, reboot your computer and reset your iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons until the Apple logo appears on the screen. After the iPad starts up, connect to iTunes and try again. You may also want to disable your firewall and antivirus software when you try to update using iTunes. Sometimes those will interfere with the download.
If you are using WiFi, reset the iPad as described above and try again.
If WiFi updating will not work, try using iTunes, if iTunes will not work, try using WiFi.

i work with Numbers on my MiniMac and then save the files as Excel because the university only works with Windows.
Numbers is not an Excel clone. Importing and exporting between Numbers and Excel will eventually build up glitches.
If the university only works with 'Windoze' it might be better if you use Excel or a free version of Office (for example, Libre Office or Open Office).
If your marks depend upon a professor who uses Excel, go with the flow.
