I am having trouble updating my iphone software. The instructions take me in an endless loop. Says sync is complete, but update does not occur.

I have updated Itunes, backed-up iphone to itunes, but can't update software. When I click update, it takes me back through the syncing process. I have synced wiht Itunes 5 times now and still no update to my iphone software.

When you connect and it says "backing up iPhone" at the top of the iTunes window, there should be a small "x" to the right of the message that will stop the backup. It will then allow you to progress to syncing and updating the iPhone. Once you're updated, try the backup process again to make sure that everything is ok.

Trouble shooting flashing "special characters" screen on my MacBook. Restarting, Shutting down, removing and placing battery again does not stop it. The flashing screen is blank with a turning gear as if loading, but it does not.

I need help with troubleshooting for flashing "special characters" screen on my MacBook with Snow Leopard. The screen flashes regardless of what app is on; it is as if it is trying to load but it does not. Is there a duplicate or conflicting file in the system that should be deleted? Where would it be?
Thanks in advance for your attention.

Ummm, nope. All due respects, this problem cropped up suddenly, at about the same time, for multiple users, on different laptop types. Probability of all this happening at once due to simultaneous hardware failures is much lower than if it was caused by say a software update not playing well with something (a piece of 3rd party software, etc). I'm having the same exact problem, I have put a new battery in, same thing happens.
This is similar to 3 or so years ago when widgets were first introduced, laptop battey lifes dropped to about 1/3 and the machines heated up. General consensus was it must be hardware, well no it was software, and a software fix took care of it. I'm hoping someone figures this out soon...
Thanks

That is an incorrect assumption.

Firefox home for the iPhone sync's initially but, it does not continue to sync after that. Is there something wrong with firefox sync or an issue with my app?

Once firefox on the computer is closed for the first time after sync is setup it will not longer sync to the iPhone. I have tried deleteing and reading account several times. I refresh the app on iPhone. Nothing will work. One the initial sync is complete. Thats it.

hello, mozilla has [https://blog.mozilla.org/services/2012/08/31/retiring-firefox-home/ stopped development & further support for firefox home] on ios devices halve a year ago. as an alternative you might want to try the following app & see if it is fixing the issue: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/bookmarks-on-the-go/id550037184

Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device.
If you have been through ALL of the troubleshooting steps and you're still having problems, then you'll need to bring your phone to Apple for investigation.

Creative cloud update, does not update it deletes

When trying to UPDATE Creative Cloud, it runs through the "motions, but it deletes the files out of the folder, it does not re-install anything. This has happened the last 3 or 4 times I have tried and is becoming bloody annoying!!! the only way to "FIX" it is to completely re-install the Creative Cloud. It is SUPPOSED to UPDATE not REMOVE/DELETE!!! ADOBE is becoming far too unreliable now and still charging me top Dollar for my membership, as there are no real alternatives and I really do need the software Adobe hold me to ransom... I have telephoned them for support in the past the told me to download CC again and re-install it. BUT this DOES NOT FIX THE BLOODY PROBLEM!!!! no other programs have any issue on my system so it IS an Adobe flaw/fault. I am sick of speaking to people who can hardly speak English for support I need someone who I can understand and who WILL follow up with the technicians and FIX this problem!!!

Not to really go into a bash Adobe thing but this AAM issue is actually one of the lower less problematic issues Adobe has with thier software. Yeah it is a problem but compared to the other issues this isn't really in the top ten.
Macs.. Can't help you there sorry. Windows guy here but if I could I would help best I could. Could be a permissions issue like on Windows 7 64bit, maybe try permissions on the software? Though if you can't install anything at all in the first place that would be a bigger issue. On windows they have a help about this issue on Adobe's site but I did not see a mac version for same issue, they may have one but I really wasn't looking for mac related as I don't have mac.
Search the help knowledge base for problems installing cloud software, should find something. Sorry couldn't be of more help.

I have to sign in and out between one and the other constantly and i dont know what to do anymore becouse now i can't update software on either, it keeps on poping up "To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it." and im pretty sure im on the right account.

Sorry. Apple's policy states that accounts cannot be merged > Frequently asked questions about Apple ID
