I can't download updates for Firefox (which is causing problems,) because Bitdefender 2011 says it's toolbar is incompatible or something. :( Any suggestions?
I'm having trouble with internet speed/crashing/"timing out"/etc., and keep getting reminders to update Firefox, but every time I try to update it, it goes through the motions, and then Bitdefender 2011 gives me a message saying that Firefox's toolbar is incompatible or something, and so it wasn't installed. :(
Is anyone else having this problem, and, if so, is there a way to update Firefox WITHOUT taking virus protection off of my computer, or having to change to Explorer or Safari?
My ISP told me that I should update my DSL box and router to THEIR newest version (at CenturyLink,) and use Explorer, and that would take care of the problem. :(
I'm not sure about the DSL box and Netgear WIFI's connection to Explorer vs. Firefox, but I have always heard that Explorer had a higher virus rate than Firefox or Safari, so...really don't WANT to switch if I can possibly FIX the constant problems. :(
ANY help would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thank you!

I am connected to the internet via a wireless network set up in my home. There are two other PCs connected to the network, one a desktop and the other a laptop. Neither have had any problems using or connecting to the internet. I have a DSL connection. I have tried to directly connect with the router with an ethernet cable, but the same thing happens.

Downloaded update for Firefox and now I can't get rid of AOL.
Downloaded update for Firefox and now I can't get rid of AOL. I have tried to delete anything associated with AOL and when restart Firefox.....there's AOL again. I even reinstalled Firefox.......there it was again.
Where does AOL show up -- home page?
I think the first thing to check is whether you have any AOL-related add-ons. These might override your regular settings. You can review and disable ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions here:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category
Note that in most cases, you need to use the Restart Firefox link to actually deactivate the extension you chose to disable.
Next, to fix your home page, try the steps in this article: [[How to set the home page]].

can not download updates for photoshop 7. error 21:120
We cannot know. You need to provide exact system info and the exact error text. And it sounds like you are actually referring to PS Elements 7, right?

Can't download update for Mac onto PC
I'm trying to download the update for Quicktime Macintosh 7.3 on a Windows computer and put it on my flash drive to install at home. I can't get to the download link. everytime I do, it takes me to the Quicktime page showing either XP or Vista and doesn't have a link to go to the Macintosh version. The download is about 50MB and my home computer is on dial-up. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
JohnYou did not mention for which OSX version for which you are trying to download the update(s).
Try these:
http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.com/QuickTime/061-413 0.20071213.Xy54EQ/QuickTime731_Leopard.dmg
http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.com/QuickTime/061-412 7.20071213.3Ujvo/QuickTime731_Tiger.dmg
http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.com/QuickTime/061-412 6.20071213.wgD6H/QuickTime731_Panther.dmg
My general workaround to Apple's locking me out from cross-updating on the different platforms-from your Macintosh, navigate to the Apple downloads site, start the QuickTime updater download, and record the source URL when the download starts. You can then cancel the download on the Mac, take the source URL to your Windows machine, and use it to download the file onto your Windows machine. Then transfer the *.dmg file back to the Mac, and you are updated. -
The last few times I have been prompted to update my firefox for desktop, my browser has not looked any different even though I get notification to say updates completed successfully. When I update firefox gives a demo of new features and how my browser should look, mine has not looked like the demo for the past few updates. It's annoying because I really like the look of having just one menu button. How can I change the look of my browser?
The Firefox button displays by default only in Windows Vista and Windows 7. You '''''can''''' have it display in Windows XP
'''Menu Bar'''<br />
*right-click empty space at the end of the Tab Bar, click "Menu Bar" to place a checkmark
*Menu Bar checked = Menu Bar on; Firefox button off
*Menu Bar un-checked = Menu Bar off; Firefox button on
*Other methods of doing the same:
**click Firefox button > Options, click Menu Bar
**Quick toggle Menu Bar on/off: ALT+V+T+M
To have the Menu Bar '''''temporarily''''' display when the Firefox button is on, press the ALT key or the F10 key to make the Menu Bar appear and use your mouse to make selections from the temporarily displayed Menu Bar. Why would you want to do this? The selections available are different.

Why after changing my apple Id can I not down load updates to my devices. I've changed all settings to new Id & even tried to do updates through iTunes but keeps referring back to previous Id which had to be cancelled due to email address change. Please help me find a solution to this problem. thanks.
Go to Settings>Store>Apple ID, tap the ID shown, sign out, sign back in with the new ID. However, app updates for your apps purchased with your older ID will always ask for the password for this ID. (Apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them.)

Preventing a downloaded update for Firefox
''locking as a duplicate - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/886499''
Lets say, Firefox ignored your autoupdate settings, and wants to update anyway, like here:
Firefox 6 ignores prevent update settings | Firefox Support Forum | Firefox Help - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/886499
Now, I have not restarted yet, and I still have Firefox 6. If I restart, I'll have Firefox 7 WHICH I '''DO NOT''' WANT! The "Software Update" window still shows, and of course there is no cancel button there.
Is there a way (such as killing the Firefox process) that I can shut down Firefox, so that next time I start it, it will NOT update, but give me the old version?Where does AOL show up -- home page?

Having trouble with downloading updates for Firefox 4
I am using Mac OS X latest version operating system. I have replaced my latest version of Safari with the latest version of Firefox. When I click on "Update Firefox", the status bar does not show the progress of the update. I let it run with no other programs running in the background. I then get an error message stating "There was a problem loading the update". I am unclear as to how I should proceed. Thank you for your time and I appreciate any assistance!
In Firefox 3.6.4 and later the default connection settings have been changed to "Use the system proxy settings".<br />
See "Firefox connection settings" in [[Server not found]]
You can find the connection settings in "Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection"<br />
If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select No Proxy -
Can't download updates for cs5
I am registered with CS5 and all apps were re-downloaded yesterday. When I try to update there are 3 updates that fail. After Effects 10.0.2, Bridge 4.0.5 and Ext Mgr 5.0. An error comes up after the update appears to have downloaded and says downloading failed and to call customer assistance. Customer assistance says they can't help with CS5. Go to the forum. (Nice) david
Thanks guys. That worked. If I tried to update through the various application's through the "help"/update heading about 5 applications needing updates would pop up. Then when trying to download those updates an error would come up. By downloading manually through Adobe.com I was able to update all the applications that needed updating. So thanks for the tip. FYI however - If I go back into the application's help/update heading they still show as updates being needed, when in fact they have been updated and verified - For whatever reason. But anyway I am good to go now.

My Mac will try to download the app to 100%, but then it tell me that it is unable to download. I have tried to turn off the firewall and restart. My itunes will not update My Alarm Clock or anything else.
(iTunes) iOS based apps (for iPhones, iPads, and the iPod touch) can be updated directly from the device.
Tap the App Store icon then tap Updates at the bottom of the display.
For your Mac...
- Temporarily disable anti virus software if installed.
- Apps such as Little Snitch, Net Nanny, and Hands Off can prevent apps from downloading including Mountain Lion.
Quit the App Store if it's open.
Now open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy/paste: ~/LIbrary/Caches/com.apple.appstore
Click Go then move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.appstore folder to the Trash.
Type or copy/paste: ~/Library/Cookies
Click Go then move the com.apple.appstore.plist file from the Cookies folder to the Trash.
Type or copy/paste: ~/Library/Preferences
Click Go then move the com.apple.appstore.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
Try updating the My Alarm Clock app. -
