I am having trouble installing the updated version of Firefox on system.

I am running Firefox 33.1 & I am getting a message advising "Update failed."
When I attempt to download the latest version, it hangs (for as long as 8 to 10+ hours) and does nothing.
Following a system failure, I was able to recover my Favorites (from a back up that I had (prior to the system crash.))

Some added toolbar and anti-virus add-ons are known to cause
Firefox issues. '''Disable All of them.'''
'''[http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/ Download Firefox Full Installer For All languages And Systems]''' {web link}
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.
'''Linux:''' Check your user manual.
Look for, and rename any Mozilla and Firefox folders by adding '''.old''' to them.
Now run the full installer.
If all goes well, remove the OLD folders when you are done.

    It will not install your machine is close to 7 years old and the newest Flash Player will not install on that old of an Operating System.
    If you have flash on there already then thats probably the best your going to get.
    You can Google and see what is the latest version for your Operating System.

    Good day all, I am having trouble installing te latest version of Itunes on my computer.
    When it is installing I get a message that states "the older version of Itunes can not be removed."
    Then the installations process is aborted.

    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Why do I get the message "The item referred to by this shortcut cannot be accessed. You may not have the appropriate permissions." after having installed the updated version of Firefox, and the program won't start?

    I have tried to install the updated version several times, and each time I get the same message. I have never experienced this kind of a problem with Mozilla before.
    I have a Windows 7 system and a new computer, so I suppose it's not a computer bug.

    Here is a pic.

  • Anyone having trouble installing the update to Media Encoder CC (2014)?  Even Technical Support wasn't able to get the update installed.

    I have Media Encoder CC (2014) on Creative Cloud.  I have a message that there's an update available, but every time I try to update the program, it fails.  Contacted  Adobe Tech Support.  He spent an hour on my PC trying to get the patch to load.  He even deleted the program and tried a reinstall.  Everything loaded fine ... except the patch.  Just wondering if anyone else is having this problem.

    Moving this discussion to the  Creative Cloud Download & Install forum.
    Gusperrysmom what error message were you able to locate within the installation log for the update?  You mentioned you contacted our support team.  Do you have a case number which I can reference?

  • I'm having trouble installing the update for camera raw CR2 file reading in photoshop CS5.

    I've downloaded the update, but cannot seem to get it attached to the program, they're not getting embedded somehow.  Any ideas?

    You're not supposed to "embed" anything.  You need to install the Camera Raw 6.7.1 plug-in strictly according to the very specific instructions for your platform, Mac or Windows, given on the download page.
    Please note that later versions of Camera Raw (higher than 6.x) will not run on CS5.  Make sure your specific camera model is supported in 6.7.  "CR2" means nothing.  Every Canon camera model generates a different flavor of CR2 files.
    If your camera is one of the many newer models that was not supported in CS5, you will have to look for the free, stand-alone Adobe DNG Converter 8.1 or 8.2RC, download it, install it, and then run it in order to convert your raw Canon files to raw DNGs you can then open in ACR 6.7 hosted by CS5.

  • HT1926 I am having trouble installing the latest version of iTunes, 11.1.4 -- as a consequence i cannot access iTunes at all on my PC. I keep getting an error message and that I am missing file MSVCR80.dll .

    I need help and am not able to find what i need to do. I have manually downloaded iTunes but it doesn't resolve the issue and I still can't access iTunes.

    Superb detail, thank you.
    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • I am having a problem installing the updated version 10.3.1.55 on my laptop.

    I am having a problem installing the updated version of Itunes 10.3.1.55 on my laptop which uses Windows XP operating system. I have download the software from Apple's website and have successfully installed it. However, when I launch Itunes I get an error message "Itunes was not installed correctly" "error 7 (windows error 999)". I have uninstalled the software, deleted all associated files, and reinstalled the software, but I am still having the same problem. I did not have any issues with the older version of Itunes. Does any one have a work around for this problem, or how can I download the old version I was using?

    Hi all,
    Sylonious, did you manage to sort this problem out? I have been experiencing similar problems. I think my problem was because I had many different versions of JDKs. I have done a complete re-install. I would be really grateful to you (and anyone else) for help with this problem.
    I have re-installed JSDK1.4.2_03, set the "path" variable to "C:\JSDK1.4.2_03".
    When I compile using "javac" I get an error saying "javac" is not recognised.
    When I compile using "C:\j2sdk1.4.2_03\bin\javac Freq.java" no error is thrown.
    Every time I try to run a java file, I always get the NoClassDefFound error. When run with the -verbose option, files are loaded from C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_03\bin - is this correct?
    I have removed all previous references to java in the registry editor.
    Please help !
    Regards,
    Vipul

    Go here http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1582, download the update file and run it. Ideally, start up in Safe Mode when you do the update.

  • I have iBooks 2.1 on ipad. I changed my password and can no longer update the app. If I delete the app and install the updated version, will I lose the books I have purchased?

    I have iBooks 2.1 on ipad. I changed my password and can no longer update the app. If I delete the app and install the updated version, will I lose the books I have purchased?

    Try logging out of your account on the iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores and then log back in and see if you can then update the app.
    If you do delete the app then you should be able to re-download your ibook purchases via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the app. But in case some of them are no longer available in the store and/or you have PDFs or epubs in it, then you could first connect it to your computer's iTunes and do File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases on iTunes 11) which should copy them over to the Books part of your iTunes library so that you have your own copy of them and can sync them back (even though they aren't iTunes purchases it should also copy over any PDFs or epubs that you have in the iBooks app)
