I am going to update my PC to windows 7 (from XP), how can i backup my current version of firefox and use it on the updated OS?
since support for XP is done and continued use puts my PC at risk, I am going to install Windows 7. I want to know how i can do a full back up of my current version of Firefox and then run it on the updated OS; i have lots of add-ons that I don't want to lose and then have to go through the whole process of reinstalling and customizing.
(currently running Firefox v28.0)
It would be best to be cautious with copying a full profile folder from Windows XP to Windows 7 as the file structure is completely different.
*C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\
*C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\

My current version of Firefox (4.0.1) will not update. How can i fix it?
Hi,
My current version of firefox (4.0.1) won't update. When the update-window pops up i klick on "Update firefox" but it just keeps on loading with the blue and white stripes.
This has happend before and what I have done then is I have just installed all of firefox again and deleted the old version, but i'd rather see that it just worked. The same thing happens with Thunderbird sometimes.
This problem has also uccurred with earlier versions of firefox.
I have a MacBook.
So now i wonder if there is any way I can fix it so that the updating will work."iPhone could not be restored. An unknown error occured (1)"

Guys, my browser is going crazy and every website that I am on changes in about 10 seconds to 2 minutes to another webpage. I even downloaded a newer 5.0 version of firefox and I am having the same problem.
Your System Details are showing Fun Web Products. Suggest you look in Add-ons - Extensions and Plug-ins, and Control Panel>Add/Remove programs or >(newer version) Programs and Features. You could also do a search of your computer.
Fun Web Products(associated with MyWebSearch) always seems to cause problems, Alexa does, too, but less often - there may be conflicts.
I'm not an expert on these two products. I'm afraid I can only alert you to the problems. Google will show you plenty of evidence of problems. You might also try the Search Firefox Help box above - a gold mine but it usually requires a lot of digging.
You can start Firefox in Safe Mode - Hold Shift Key down as you double click on the Firefox icon>ignore the page that opens>Continue. If that improves things you could do a little troubleshooting(Safe Mode, Problematic extensions etc), use default theme, -

I need to update my current version of firefox for the Mac and when I do it says it is not compatible for my system but I can't find anywhere that it says what the system requirements are for the new version of firefox for the Mac.
Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com
For the full system requirements see http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/system-requirements.html -
I have a Wiindows home version XP 2002 version. Yes it works just fine most of the time. I do love my firefox and use it almost exclusevily, not Internet explorer. I did have a google tool bar I think, and used, it to get to my gmail.
With your new firefox update, suddenly I am not happy. If I go to the start menu and click on firefox it asks a strange question and then asks if I want to delete firefox? to which I answer no. Even getting to gmail has become a longer process. So for the first time firefox has become a problem. Can I return to an earlier version? That is what I would prefer.Thanks! I do have the HP disc for the scanner/copier. If and when my cousin comes down he said he may have to re-install it.
Though I still wonder what happened and if now it was because of those last updates for my XP from Microsoft. It worked fine over a week ago. And it still partially scans through the HP solution site or the control panel works well too. And still copies and prints. Which almost doesn't make sense as to why just the scanner is effected. But many thanks!

How can I test my thunderbolt port? It's not working after the update to 10.10.1
I have been using my computer with the Thunderbolt Port for a while and after updating to 10.10.1 and after I while of using my computer I tried to use the thunderbolt port with my external monitor.. and it doesn't work at all.. video doesn't come out.. I tried a different screen with the mini adapter from thunderbolt to HDMI and another with thunderbolt to VGA and in both adapters I don't get video from my mac.
Any idea how can I test my Thunder bolt port?
This is what I have done:
1 cable adapter thunder bolt to mini HDMI to an LCD screen with HDMI : No video, but my computer detects that there is something connected
2 cable adapter thunder bolt to VGA to an LCD screen with VGA : No video, but my computer detects that there is something connected
3 cable adapter thunder bolt to mini HDMI to an 40' TV with HDMI : No video, but my computer detects that there is something connected
All the test pass from the Hardware test at the startup (press D at boot time).
Any ideas? my guarantee it's expired and no coverage. Due the nature of where the port it's installed, if this is a hardware problem seems that I will (may be) have to buy the Logic Board.. no good. No bueno!!
Thanks!!!restore iPhone

"PSA error" and "error 6 in the update" ...VERY IMP!!
Hi All,
I am facing this very strange and critical problem.
Delta load failed due to "PSA error" and "error 6 in the update" for two Infosources.
The Infosource 1 ( Header)- I was able to successfully edit the PSA error and update the delta from the PSA to the ODS....problem solved
The Infosource 2 ( Item ) - The delta for this request is sent to from this Infosource to ODS's .It is allowing me to edit the PSA data and save it. But even after editing and saving, when I am updating the delta to the ODS the request goes red. When I see the reason, I find the same "error in the PSA "and the" Error 6 int he Update". Looks like the edited data is not getting saved.
The error in PSA was ..date was wrongly entered with wrong year in it. So therefore it clashes witht he fiscal yr variant for that infosource.
Tried to do repeat delta for the next delta. Same issue.
__1. No clue why the edited data is not getting saved__
__*2. What is this " error 6 in the Update"*_
In the Status tab of monitor of that request:_
Error message when processing in the Business Warehouse
Diagnosis
An error occurred in the SAP BW when processing the data. The error is documented in an error message.
System response
A caller 01, 02 or equal to or greater than 20 contains an error meesage.

Second step in the update
Procedure

Select the message in the message dialog box, and look at the long text for further information.
Follow the instructions in the message.
Please provide a solution. Very critical and important issue.I got the same PSA error for another Header Infosource which updates data to one ODS, for which i could edit the data and then update the edited data into the ODS. The changes i have done are saved and had no issue with the infosource. and the load is successful.
But for this Item Infosource ( updates data to two ODS) , i got the same PSA error( Date entered worng) , i was able to edit the data in the PSA and save. but after editing and saving when i update teh request( after editing PSA) the request goes RED ( which means the i get the old values..wrong data).
Why am I not able see the changes i have done when i update the delta from PSA to ODS after editing?....really strange.
Is there any problem in the update rules or something for this Infosource( not sure)..becos i am gettng this "error 6" in the Update.
Please Rescue! -

My itunes is on an old computer. So old that I can't update it and so Haven't used it in two years. How can I move it to my new laptop and make sure this doesn't happen again? Very frustrated that I've spend $$ but can't get my music.
I want so set up itunes on my laptop and make sure that I get all of my old music and any music shared from my sons' itunes accounts. Do I have to set up itunes on my new laptop first and then use the same logins? Really concerned about losing any music, etc.These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
Note if you have failed to move contacts and calendar items across you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should merge the existing data from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.
