I can no longer download anything through firefox & I cannot seem to fix it its OK in chrome
I am receiving attachments through my emails and they will not download also I try and download movies or music and still the downloads will not work.
It was all fine up until about 2 weeks ago.
Do not recall anything happening that would have resulted in this.
Your help would be appreciated, Thanks.
I worked on this for some time trying various ways to correct the problem - and using various solutions found on the internet - but to no avail.
I then finally went to the the Add-ons Manager once again and put a''' 'never activate'''' on the ''''Open H264 Video Codec provided by Cisco Systems, Inc.' that I had activated on the 22/3/15 - this immediately fixed the problem and I was able to download files again.
Thanks to 'UnicornPoopinc' for your response and to anyone else who was giving this thought but it is now solved and perhaps this will help someone else if they happen to have the same problem.

Steve Jobs obviously was "the man" because every update or install now gives me problems... i can no longer download anything to my iphone.. giving me errors of "cannot install at this time" and i get an error installing itunes on my other laptop... wth is going on!??!
ok so the download problem with my iphone.. what could be the cause of that? ive restarted and deleted the "undownloaded app" over 10 times already. and restarted the iphone 10 times... next thing i know i cant install itunes on my laptop.... geez man..
obviously there is a fix which someone will help... but why should i have to go through all that crap to install a so called uncomplicated software... when you think about it this really shouldnt even be an issue.
normally if the thing dosent work. normally with most programs you just uninstall the uncompleted software and just reinstall and everything is usually good to go.. help!ive never had any problems with ap[ple products in the past... this is a first and a stupid problem if you ask me

please please please help! It says in my iPhone Free Space area on iTunes that the apps on my phone are taking up 9.20 GB when I only have one page of apps (all fairly small ones, too!). I can no longer download anything to my phone because of this, and I need help to bring my "app space" down from the incorrect number.
Hi Lisa,
Did you ever manage to resolve this issue? I"m having exactly the same issue. I have about 350MBs of App stuff on my phone but it says it's using 10gigs!!! Have no idea how to resolve this...NE ideas? -
I can no longer download anything
For some reason, I can no longer download anything on itunes on my computer.
When I try, I get the following error as a sample...
There were problems downloading some purchased items.
For more information on the items that could not be downloaded, click below.
There was a problem downloading “Fun Run, Pts. 1 & 2 / The Office, Season 4 / The Office”. You >do not have enough access privileges for this operation.
Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again.
I do have a network connection, and can get logged into the itunes store. I have spent the past 45 minutes on the phone with Apple who had me check all of my permissions, and I have uninstalled/reinstalled itunes, but still the same thing.
Anyone have any ideas on this?I have the same problem with my 1st gen Touch. It started a few days ago when I and many other 1st gen users noticed that we could no longer download podcasts directly to our iPods, and after a day or two that seemed to be fixed, but now the app store is broken for us. For me when I try to download an app I press the button and then the graphics for the button get all jumbled. I can see it's there but the edges and letters are all mixed up and wierd looking. It turns green like the download button, and when I push that it turns blue and then just sits there doing nothing. I know this isn't a problem with updating my software because anyone who knows anything about earlier models knows that they stopped updating the iOS for them a long long time ago. This is definitely a problem on Apples end where they've made some kind of changes to the app store that break it on earlier iPods (I saw another post from a 2nd gen user who is having the same problem). I hope Apple fixes this soon.

I upgraded recently my firefox browser on my home computer which still runs Windows XP. I can no longer find websites thru firefox, tho, I can load websites through a google or yahoo search.
The firefox browser won't download secure or unsecure site. I type in the full name of the site, and it just hangs. I do not receive an error message.
Internet explorer continues to work fine on the computer.
I emptied my cookies and search history and updated the proxy setting to "no proxy". I still have the same problem.
I tried to uninstall and reinstall firefox with the hopes of changing the initial settings (to see if I should have disabled or abled more of the boxes). Unfortunately, the program didn't fully uninstall .. and the firefox reverts to where it was the last time I logged on.A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

I can no longer download anything from the new style app store on 1st gen iPod touch
Whenever I click to install an app from app store the button disappears. If I click again in the general area that the button should be, I get a green empty button, if I cclick that, it turns blue but still nothing happens. On the old style app store it used to either begin unstallion or tell me that the app wasn't compatible with my device. Now I get NOTHING. Please can someone help?!

I accidentally clicked some keys on my IMAC 5.1 computer and it stopped downloading but it was working fine until then. Can someone help me ?
You're using an Intel Core 2 Duo iMac. What OS version are you running? OS 10.x.x?
Were you downloading something from iTunes, the Apps store, a file from the web using Safari, firefox, Chrome?
Good luck. -
Question
I just updated to the latest version of Firefox and now I can no longer download facebook videos with realplayer as I formerly could. How can I downgrade to my previous version of Firefox?Many thanks b Noir
This is a copy of ONEof the keys in the registry I changed as told by Apple support today. I also have changed others as instructed by GEAR software support to manually delete GEAR drivers (that I had installed but couldn't delete some of the others they mentioned from Windows system 32. Then some bright spark at work told me I need the Gear drivers so I downloaded the software and installed again.
Sorry, just this minute went to insert image and it is giving me a message saying this sort of content is not allowed?.
The most recent key I altered is in: HKey _local _machine. System\class - 4D36E965-E325-11CEBFC1-08002BE10318. Upper Filter data: Upper filter NTIDrvr SiRem GEARAspiWDN.

Why can I no longer Print anything from Firefox after installing 28.0?
Since upgrading to 28.0, I can no longer print anything from within the Firefox browser. My other applications continue to print normally, but whenever I try to print anything from Firefox, I get a "A print error has occurred" message. The Print Preview page displays only a blank, gray window. Prior to upgrading I had no problems.
Can you try to access Firefox in Safe Mode to see if the problem still exists and/or if it opens? You can follow the below instructions to start it in that mode.
*Go to Help > Restart with add-ons disabled
*When Firefox closes and re-opens, select ''Start in Safe Mode''
If Firefox works fine after starting in Safe Mode, then it's most likely one of your extensions misbehaving. You can enable your add-ons back on by one until you find the conflicting extension. -
I can no longer sync anything to any of my apple products
I can no longer sync or download any content to my apple products through iTunes. The only way I am able to download music or apps to my iPod, iPhone, or iPad is by downloading from the iPod, iPhone, and iPad itself. Some songs I brought through my iPod haven't show up in my iTunes library. Majority of my library wont work on my iPod, but it works in my library. I can no longer download new playlist I came up with through my iTunes library. My frustration has gotten to a point where I am completely done with Apple products in general. I literally listen to music 24/7 and the fact that I can't listen to half my library or I have to carry around my MacBook to listen to my music is absolutely ridiculous. Come out with an update to fix this serious problem or someone tell me a sensible way to fix my problem. I have tried everything, but I need new ideas that I'm sure I haven't thought of!
What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

Since upgrading my phone to the iOS7, I can no longer download music or apps on neither my iphone or through itunes on my computer. On my phone, it won't let me accept the terms & conditions. On my computer, an error message keeps flashing up: 'Error (-50)'. Please help?...
Sounds like the device is in recovery mode. You will need to restore the phone. See this support document for instructions. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

if the music that is on an iPod can no longer be accessed through iTunes because it was deleted, is there anyway to recover the music on the iPod if it wasn't purchased?
See this support article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
You can also download at least some of your content (audiobooks being a notable exception) again from the iTunes Store:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519

I can no longer download apps that I buy. They are on my computer, they will no longer sync onto my phone. Yes, I DO know how to do it. They no longer will go onto my phone.
Did some searches, but did not come up with anything regarding your specific issue (the original one, the grey 'waiting' problem is quite common). If no other ofrum users chime in, it is indeed time to contact Apple / iTunes Store support.
If you have not yet one so, Try to Reset your device. Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears (ignore the Slide to Power Off that shows up first).
You could also try to re-download one or two apps, just to see if anything changes. Log in to the iTunes Store, go to the Purchases section and download from the list of past purchases or free apps.
Sorry I wasn't of better help. Good luck. -
I can no longer download Apps from App store nor update the existing ones
iMac 21" Intel
year 2013
OSX10.10.1
I can no longer download Apps from App Store.
I would select the app, press the icon to download the App (Ottieni in my language, Italian), download would not start and an alarm saying "Download failed, try from the Purchased page to retry" would pop-up, see screenshot below.
I would visit the page "Purchased" (second icon from right) and try from there by pressing the icon Install on the right hand side but the same pop-up icon would appear and a message by the icon Install saying "An error occurred" would appear.
The same problem occurr when I try to update Keynote, Imovie or any other App I have downloaded.
I do not know whether this is related to this issue but some time ago I installed Avast.
I could not install other apps such as uTorrent (not downloaded through App Store) until I removed Avast.
I am utterly disappointed.
Can anyone help, please?
Thanks.
CarloYes, Avast could very well be the issue. Bad software, use the developer's instructions to uninstall and don't install again. Your Mac has no real need for most 3rd party anti-viral software and those so-called tune-up apps mess up more than they are worth. A pristine OS X system is all that you need, it takes care of itself.

Printing two pages per sheet of paper
I have a newsletter that is 24 pages long. Each page is 7"h X 8 1/2"w. I print on 8 1/2 X 14 size paper. In Microsoft Publisher the software would set the layout so that the output was properly ordered. For example the front cover and the back cover
