I can't complete the upgrade to Firefox 4.
I can't complete the upgrade to Firefox 4. After the reboot the icon is of a file. I click on it and it tells me I need to reboot to complete the upgrade. I can't uninstall because nothing is there. I can't reinstall an earlier version because it tells me to complete the other version.
I can't. It tells me to reboot and finish the installation.
I installed an earlier version in a different folder and it works fine.

I removed Microsoft Office 2008 but still get Microsoft Autoupdate for it. I can't complete the upgrade because the application is removed, but cannot make the auto update prompt go away either. Is there a trace of Office 2008 somewhere creating this problem and how do I get rid of it?
Thanks for the tip. Went through the process on Microsoft's site and the files that were causing the issue were the com.microsoft files in Library-Preferences. Removed all of those, then opened an Office 2011 application; had to go through some basic setup questions the first time, but I no longer get prompted upgrade 2008.

Synfig was made in 2006, so it's not unlikely that it might not work for some people. By 'some people', I mean me. I was just asking if it was something on my side, but if that's all you got, I think it's highly unlikely that it's my fault. I don't even want it anymore, I got Flash Professional. I was just wondering. I could have sworn you used to write more detailed answers before jumping striaght to conclusions. 'Did this happen to you on anything else?' or maybe even 'Why don't you complain to them?' would have been fine. -
I downloaded Firefox 4 Beta and everytime I tried to open up the browser, I get a message stating I need to reboot the computer in order to complete the upgrade; I've rebooted the computer at least 4 times. I even tried to download a previous version of Firefox and I am still getting the same message that I need to reboot the computer in order to complete the previous upgrade.

just completed the upgrade to os x Yosemite on my MacBook 5,4 only to find that iPhoto will not open. It came up with a message that I go to the app store and upgrade to the latest version of iPhoto , however the App Store also refuses to open. I would really appreciate any help. Thank you
Hi Terence
I have the same problem after installing yosemite. When I want to update it give the following message..
This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled.
Should I contact apple directly?
Thanx for your time -
When my iPad prompted me to upgrade to IOS 7.1, I selected the upgrade. All went well until the iPad prompted me to plug into iTunes. I plugged it to a laptop, then the message on the laptop stated "iPod is in Recovery Mode" Nothing worked to get the iPad to complete the upgrade, not even an attempt to restore iPad to factory settings - it is stuck in the "plug to iTunes" mode.
Any suggestions to either uninstall IOS 7.1, to complete the install, or to reset it? At this point, it is a $700 papeweight.Pad: Unable to update or restore

The Finder can't complete the operation because some data can't be read or written. (Error code -36)
Since the upgrade to 10.9 I have the most annoying issue when copying files. I have a secondary drive for media in which I keeo my media on / Samples / Video etc. I keep an exact copy on 2 external drives.
95% I can't copy the the new media across my drives without a few restarts. I get the following:
The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data can’t be read or written.
(Error code -36)
This is not a permissions issue. I've checked every folder down the the exact file it calls on. Everyone has READ & WRITE. If I restart the computer after getting this message it will do a little bit more then get stuck on another folder or file and pop the message.
If I do smaller chuncks, it seems to do better but not all the time.
PLEASE someone, tell me you have seen this before and you have a workaround. This is killing me,

thanks in advance for any helpPlease read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads 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.
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 Fusion Drive or 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 login 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 the test. -
I have a backup from Time machine of my iPhoto and I get the above error when I try to restore them. Thae backup was done with Mountain Lion and I upgraded to Mavericks. The backup is on an external drive.
Again this is the error:
The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data in “iPhoto Library” can’t be read or written.(Error code -36)
I have also tried going to earlier dated backup and get the same error.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank YouThat error message is an I/O error which can mean a number of things, among them a bad file. Here's a couple of fixes you can try:
1 - use the free version of iPhoto Library Manager to rebuild the library with the rebuild being created on the EHD as follows:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.>Click on the Add Library button,
2 - select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
3 - make sure that in the rebuild window the checkbox "Scavange orphaned photos" is checked.
4 - now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
5 - in the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed. Click on the Create button.
Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
Note 2: Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.
When iPLM finishes it will display a log file entry showing which files it was unable to use in the rebuild. Open the old library with iPhoto, locate and delete the photos that iPLM listed in its log. Then try dragging the library to the EHD again.
If the above fails continue with:
2 - create a new, empty library on the EHD. Use the paid version of iPhoto Library Manage to copy the events (1-2 at a time) to the new library on the EHD. At one point iPLM may run into the bad file and be unable to copy the event. You can check iPLM's log to see what file it is. Then open that library, delete the file and either try to copy the entire library by dragging and dropping or contine with the copying of events from the old library to the new library. -
Can't Connect, can't complete the call. Check your...
Greetings guys,
My phone was PERFECT until I updated to Lumia Black, since then I get the error:
Can't Connect
Can't complete the call. Check your cellular signal and the number, and try again.
at random times; this is specially bad when driving and wanting to make a quick call via voice command; it's just not possible.
This is the list of things I've done to try and fix it without luck.
Resetted the phone
Upgraded to pre-8.1 alpha
Upgraded to 8.1 alpha
I can also confirm that when trying to call via voice with Cortana (and until I toggle flight Airplane mode) it gives me the same error message.
I want to add that I am not the only one, I've heard from two lumia 920 users and one lumia 820 issue and have the screenshots they sent me in case it's of any help (i've attached mine - obscured)...
Does anyone have any recommendations or ideas?
Thanks tons,
Geo
Solved!

I would like to update Pages from 4.1 to 4.2. I did not purchase it from the App Store but installed it with iWorks. How do I complete the upgrade?
The iWork 9.2 updater is for those using Mountain Lion. Why do you want to update to Pages 4.2 if you're still running Lion? There is no benefit & many users have had problems.
That being said, you must make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. All three applications must be in the iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.
Now, choose Software Update from the Apple menu, from System Preferences or launch the Mac App Store & click Updates. You should get a window similar to this screenshot. Now click the Update button next to iWork 9.2.
Alternatively, you can download the standalone update here. -
My mac book air e-mail is trying to upgrade but it has frozen. How can I stop the upgrade as I cannot open my e-mail?
This isn't the fault of firefox. Firefox is a web browser, not your email provider. I'd suggest contacting them (whoever you use, gmail, yahoo, etc.) and asking for help.

I have just updated to iOS7, no icon for browser, was using Safari, how do I get it back and can I reverse the upgrade and go back to iOS6? Thanks to you from the UnTechie
The icon for Safari has probably moved to make room for new apps. Scroll the Home screen to look for it.
You cannot reverse the upgrade. -
Can i install the upgrade ilife11 on TWO computers?
I bought the ilife 11 upgrade and installed it succesfully on my imac. Am I allowed to also install it in my macbook?
Do you mean is it possible, legal or ethical to do. Two of those have definite answers but seeing you are asking on a Apple discussion board, I can tell you the upgrade is for one computer.

I currently have Leopard, and there are no longer updates for it. So I must upgrade to either Snow Leopard or Mountain Lion. Without doing so I cannot update my itunes, and my ipod is no longer compatile with my mac. How can I buy the upgrade, since I do not have access to the mac store as that comes with Snow Leopard? I went to Best Buy and they said neither Snow Leopard or Mountain Lion can be bought there.
Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
Whilst Apple have withdrawn Snow Leopard from their stores, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $20 for a single user, or $30 for a family pack that covers up to 5 Macs. You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion from the same number (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:
http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
If you are outside the US call your national Apple Helpline:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
If you're in the UK, use this number: 0871 508 4400
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
To use iCloud you have to upgrade all the way to Mountain Lion:
