I am unable to download Firefox to a new MacBook Air running OS10.7.2? What am I missing?

I have gone to the Firefox site and attempted to download Firefox for Mac (English/U.S. version). I am told that download should start in a few seconds. NOthing happens. I click on "If download does not begin...". I get a brief glimpse of what looks like a tornado spiralling off to the left side of my computer, then, nothing.

Hi ClareKing-
Hopefully this link will work better for you. Get the latest version here: [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/]
Hope that helps

  • Unable to download Google Earth to new macbook pro running Yosemite.

    On Google Earth site the download link fails to start loading immediately. Using the link provided in the event of such failure I am taken to di.google.com which starts to load then also fails part way through. Whether I go straight to the google site or go via a third party link the same thing happens. Any solutions?

    No - About this Mac>More Info>Support>User Manual takes you to the page on the Apple site where the manual can be downloaded - and it still doesn't work.
    The link is

  • Unable to change WINS workgroup on new Macbook Air (Lion)

    Hi all,
    Just brought home a new Macbook Air 13.  Was loving it until I started digging into networking.
    Have found that i am unable to change the default workgroup in the WINS tab of networking.  The default is simply "WORKGROUP"
    In the automatic profile it is greyed out, but lets you type in a different name.  That change is not saved though and is immediately discarded when you click OK.
    Through some online research i found that others who have had this problem solved it by recreating that automatic profile and changing the name in the new one they create.  When I do that, the workgroup name is no longer greyed out, but changing it is still not saved.  As soon as I click on OK, the changes are immediately reverted.
    I also found some advice online that suggested I needed to tweak setting in the Directory Access utility which could be found in Applications > Utilities.  I found no such utility.  Wiki states it was renamed to Directory Utility, but that was not there either.  I did however find a 'directory utility' in System > Library > Core Services.  Opening that showed the following services:  Active Directory, LDAPv3, and NIS.
    No SMB or CIS which I am assuming are the services required for WINS and workgroup related settings.
    Any thoughts?

    This might be a timing or propagation issue.
    The settings I tried all last night to "save" - suddenly took hold sometime this morning.  I made a lot of changes and did a lot of tests, wish I could tell you which one finally did the trick... but given the 8 hours it took to kick in there is simply no way for me to know.

  • Where you can download for the new MacBook Air?

    where you can download iWeb for the new MacBook Air?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    You have to buy iLife '11 in Amazon > http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003XKRZES/ref=s9_simh_gw_p65_d6_i2?pf_rd_m=ATV PDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=1A0B6N3K4RCNDJ0XK5E3&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=138 9517282&pf_rd_i=507846

  • Trying to download Firefox and as soon as the "run" box appears Explorer shuts down.

    Using Explorer, I'm trying to download Firefox. As soon as the run dialog box opens, Explorer shuts down. What do I need to do to download Firefox.

    Does that happen with anything you try to download in IE, not just when downloading Firefox?
    We are unable to help you troubleshoot or find solutions to IE problems on this forum; this forum is for issues with Firefox only.

  • Keep downloading Firefox 6.0.2 for Mac (as prompted) to my new Macbook Pro, running Lion (OS 10.7.1) and it won't open and install. WTF?

    I have Firefox version 3.6.22 (Mac) & keep downloading Firefox 6.0.2 for Mac (as prompted) to my new Macbook Pro, running Lion (OS 10.7.1) and it won't open and install. WTF?

    something similar has been happening to me for a a couple weeks (even before the most recent update, but now is definitely worse) on my 2010 MacBook Air. Firefox freezes upon startup, and then freezes maybe every twenty minutes or so when I'm actively using it, staying frozen for at least a minute or two. it drives me crazy.

    Try going to Settings>Store and sign out and sign back in.
    It also could be due to an Apple server problem. and yu will just have to wait and try again.

  • HT1338 I'm unable to update any software on my macbook air and iMac

    I'm unable to update any software on my macbook air and iMac getting the following error "to update your software you need to sign in with the account you used to purchase it" any help is appreciated

    Please try each of the following steps you haven't already taken, until the issue is resolved. After each step, relaunch the App Store and try again.
    1. Follow the instructions in the Apple Support article linked below:
    Mac App Store: Cannot update App Store purchases or updates do not seem available
    2. If any App Store purchases were made under a different Apple ID, or if the bundled iLife applications were accepted under a different ID, sign in to the App Store with that ID to update.
    3. Alternatively, delete the probem applications and re-download them with the ID you're using now. If you haven't already purchased them with that ID, you'll have to do that first, because purchases can't be transferred from one account to another.
    4. Select the Purchased tab in the App Store window. If you see an item in the list marked "You have 3 apps to accept," click Accept.
    5. Triple-click the line below to select it:
    /Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/adoption.plist
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu. A Finder window may open with a file selected. If it does, delete the selected file. You may be prompted for your login password.
    Then repeat step 4.
    6. Select
    Store ▹ View My Account
    from the App Store menu bar, then select View hidden purchases. If you're trying to update any hidden purchases, unhide them.
    7. Launch iTunes and select
    Store ▹ Authorize This Computer
    from the menu bar.
    8. If you've moved any App Store apps out of the applications folder, or into a subfolder, put them back. Never move or copy those applications.
    9. Contact Account and Billing Support on this page:

  • Cannot download Kindle for Mac to MacBook Air OS X 10.9.5

    I am unable to download Kindle of Mac to my MacBook Air running OS x 10.9.5.  I have been unable to elicit a response from Kindle support and cannot the version from the App Store or from Kindle.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • Slooowww download speeds with new MacBook Air.

    I recently replaced my old MacBook from 2007 with a new MacBook Air. Since I've gotten it I've had a series of frustruations. I hadn't even thought to check if it had an ethernet port or a cd drive. Because it has nither I've had to download versions of things I'd generally install via CD. My download speeds seem to be incredibly slow on this new MacBook Air, it took hours to download firefox. I feel like my older MacBook was much faster, I don't understand. I recently did a speed test (I have Comcast) for the MacBook Air and it came up with a 1mbps download speed. Is this an issue with the computer or with my modem (docis 3.0, cable) or router (standard belkin) or with Comcast? I'm pretty frustrutaed.
    Other questions:
    I'd love to plug this directly into our cable modem, but I see that I need an adapter.
    I'd also love to connect this to my iMac via thunderbolt cable and use use target disc mode to install some stuff.
    I'd like to buy a plain thunderbolt cable to have for use with more modern computers, and adapters for use with this older/other stuff. Is there an adapter that lets me attach the thunderbolt cable to an ethernet wire so I can plug directly into the modem? Also, my imac has a firewire 800 port, not a thunderbolt port, so is there a thunderbolt to firewire 800 cable?
    What would be the cheapest way of getting these cables and adapters, (links would be very appreciated!)?
    Thanks!

    Yes. Take it back for a replacement. Take the computer with you so you can test the new one.

  • New macbook air wont download my songs from my iphone 4

    my new macbook air will not let me download my music that i purchased on itunes with my iphone 4. When i connect my iPhone it downloads my pics but none of my songs the screen says scan media i push that button and nothing happens. How do i get my songs to download onto my mac itunes?

    Make sure your Mac is authorized for all Apple IDs used to purchase the music in iTunes Store>Authorize This Computer.  Then connect your phone, open iTunes and go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.  This should transfer your music, apps and other purchased media from your phone to your iTunes library.  It won't transfer music that was not purchased from the iTunes store.

  • How do I accept/purchase/download ilife programs after restoring Lion on a new Macbook Air using a new apple ID. App store will not let me do anything but accept; and it won't accept the apps with the new apple id

    I wanted to restore my new Macbook Air (over the web).. using a new apple ID instead of the old one I originally used when I bought the computer from the apple store a month ago.  By doing that, everything worked, but the iLife programs that originally came with it shows in the app store as "ACCEPT".  When I try to accept them... it says they are assigned to another ID.. you must repurchase them for this ID.
    I have no problem if I have to repurchase.  I just can't find anywhere to do that.  No matter what I do, I can only "ACCEPT".. which as I said earlier - don't work.
    Thanks for any help
