I cannot install Firefox because a previous version is installed. I try to uninstall it and it asks to restart computer. When I restart, same problem. I'm stumped for what to do at this point.

Alright, in detail, I haven't used Firefox for a while because my old version stopped working. Not sure what happened to it or why but, long story short, I ended up going back to IE(ugh) and never looked back.
Sometime later, an update was installed to it and somewhere in the restart process it apparently lost track of what it was doing and is now stuck there.
I recently tried to download Firefox anew, it prompts me to restart the computer BEFORE trying to do any kind of install work and if I choose to restart, it does nothing but restart my PC and fail to do what it's supposed to. If I decline to restart, it closes the installer completely.
In short, Firefox is still apparently on my computer without actually being usable. It's in my installed programs list but I can't uninstall it without the restarting thing which, again, doesn't ever accomplish anything and I need to know HOW to remove it totally while also bypassing that restart junk.

Thanks for the help! How the **** are we supposed to know that we have to swipe the **** mini pages up instead of clicking the **** wiggling button???
I mean ***? Are we mind readers? EVERY time I leave a page I now have to sign in again and again. Apple is just BEGGING people to go get a nice Samsung mini laptop for LESS $.
I don't get it.
Since you, and others who were nice enuf to answer (thanks so much!! For doing Apples CS work for them for free BTW)
Maybe someone can answer this:
I take a lot of pix for eBay, sometimes 3-400 at a time. When I delete photos it's usually 1,000 at a time, and I assure you I'm not exaggerating. Up until now I was able to take the END pic and swipe the whole row and check 7 pix quickly. With the new ios7 I am unable to do it anymore (yet ANOTHER reason I don't want this 'improved' OS).
Does ANYONE know of a way to choose many pix at once to move or delete or whatever? Remember the old windows system where you could choose one pic, click it then hit SHIFT and click a lower one and it would highlight them all, in between, for a quick delete.
How can I highlight pix other than one at a time? There MUST be a way! And since I'm lacking a **** crystal ball I'm stuck. Help? And THANKS guys, really!

  • Cannot install hamachi because of previous version

    I am on Windows 7 x64 and I am attempting to install the newest hamachi, but I cannot because hamachi says it found a previous version which I attempted to uninstall but it refuses telling me it cannot find hamachi-update.exe located in windows appdata and whatnot. So I removed all registry entries and files on my computer dealing with the search terms hamachi and logmein, but I still cannot install the newest hamachi because it gives me this error
    LogMeIn Hamachi version [PREVIOUSVERSION] has been detected on your computer. Would you like to proceed with an update?
    if i click no the installation closes if I click yes i get another error
    The older version of LogMeIn Hamachi cannot be removed. Contact your technical support group.
    Then the installation fails. There are no hamachi services in msconfig or task manager, and it is not still being detected as a network adapter so I assume it is no longer on my system. Now I need to find what files might be left over on my system that still cause the installer to find an old version of hamachi can anyone help me?

  • I have Win7Pro64, tried to Un-Install Firefox control panel, no luck, tried running helper.exe from Uninstall folder and it says "Not a Valid Win-32 Application" What gives?? Just want to update to 3.6.4 and that didn't work either so I'm trying to remove

    Running Win7Pro64. Tried to update to 3.6.4 and it failed. It said to download the whole program so I did. Tried to install and says that the "License File" is missing. SO I go to un-install 3.6.3 myslef with Control Panel. All that did was remove Firefox as a listed program in control panel, all of it is still there in Explorer and it runs fine. So I go to use Helper.Exe under the Uninstall folder of Mozilla Firefox and when I click that, it says "Not a Valid Win-32 Application" What's up with that?? All I want to do is remove 3.6.3 so that I can clean install 3.6.4. I tried installing 3.6.4 two different ways with failures both times. I tried to remove 3.6.3 using two different ways, and that also failed both times.
    == This happened ==
    Just once or twice
    == I tried updating to 3.6.4. It failed both with the update and the full download, so tried to un-install 3.6.3 in control panel, then helper.exe with no luck.

    You don't want to update to 3.6.4, trust me. Stay with 3.6.3. If you need to download it again you can find it here:

    Hello Negaz
    When you uninstalled iTunes, did you uninstall it by using the article below or just uninstalled iTunes? The best practice is to remove not only iTunes, but also other associating software in the order that the first article give. If that does not work, then check out the second article for more troubleshooting options for connecting your iPhone to your computer.

    whenever i m trying to install firefox the error will come that is previous firefox want complete uninstalation its required to restart the computer when its restart its not installed tell me why in

    I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
    When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
    At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
    I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

  • Locked-out: "You can't upgrade this version of Mac OS X because a newer version is installed

    Absolute rookie move. Bought a Mac Mini server (June 2012 model) on E-bay and it came with the previous owner's log-in account still on it. Tried to re-install 10.6 server software with the CDs that came with it but  got the message "You can't upgrade this version of Mac OS X because a newer version is installed". Any advice on how I can fix this? I'm hoping I didn't buy a brick that I can't do anything with.
    Any help is much appreciated.
    ~LJ

    What OS X software is installed on the box?  OS X, or OS X Server?
    If it's a newer OS X version and you want OS X Server from the installer disks, wipe the disk and reinstall.
    Officially, it's not likely that a recent Mac Mini Server would even officially support something as old as OS X Server 10.6; here's the list of the minimum versions (HT1159) — I don't see a June 2012 model, the closest to that acquisition date would probably be a mid-2011 Mac Mini or Mac Mini Server model, and those require OS X or OS X Server 10.7, or later.
    OS X 10.7 also didn't usually arrive with DVD disks, so that may be an old DVD from some other box.
    To confirm the Mac Mini model, see  > About This Mac > More Info...

  • Error when uploading "The bundle identifier cannot be changed from the previous version"

    I have an app on the App Store created with DPS, Single Edition a long time ago, shortly after DPS SE became available. Now I've updated the app, built a new version with DPS App Builder, created a new version of the app in iTunes Connect, and tried to upload the Distribution zip file using application loader. I'm getting 2 error messages:
    "This bundle is invalid. The bundle identifier cannot be changed from the previous version. If you want to change your bundle identifier, you will need to create a new application in iTunes Connect..."
    and
    "This app contains an embedded provisioning profile that is not associated with your account. Please use a provisioning profile associated with Team ID ..."
    I've done this several times before with other apps, and never got these errors before. Any ideas of what is going on?
    I'm able to view the developer ipa file just fine on my iPad.

    Nevermind. I left for lunch, returned, took a fresh look at it, and discovered that it was a stupid human error on my part.

    Firefox 4 overwrote previous version in Applications folder, now will not run on my system. HTF do I revert to previous version?

    Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
    If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

  • Out of Office error: 'Your automatic reply settings cannot be displayed because the server is currently unavailable. Try again later.'

    Hi,
    This is my first post in the forums. Please forgive me if it's in the wrong category or if it's not posted correctly in any way.
    I'll try and give you below as much information about the problem we have here as I can.
    What we have:
    - an on-premises Windows 2012 Standard server that is the PDC, DNS and DHCP server;
    - a second Windows 2012 Standard server with the sole purpose of hosting our Exchange 2013 CU7 server;
    - Windows 7 PCs with Office Home and Business 2010 v.14.0.7143.5000 (32-bit);
    - Outlook 2010 connects through Outlook Anywhere (mail.ourdomain.com).
    The problem:
    If trying to set up Out of Office through Outlook on the client PCs, we'd get an error message: 'Your automatic reply settings cannot be displayed because the server is currently unavailable. Try again later.' Interestingly, it does work normally for some users.
    It works fine for all users if done through OWA.
    Tests performed:
    User 1 on PC1 has the problem. User 2 on PC2 doesn't have the problem. Both users are members of the same security groups.
    - setting up User 2 on PC 1: the problem exists;
    - setting up User 1 on PC 2: the problem exists;
    - setting up a second Outlook profile on PC2 within User 2's domain account (the one that works), for the same User 2: the problem still exists!
    I haven't been able to set up an Outlook account that works since this issue was discovered, although there are existing Outlook accounts that do not have the issue.
    Let me also point out we have another issue we are working on and which may or may not be related: the Autodiscover function in Outlook doesn't work. Test E-mail AutoConfiguration results in 'Autoconfiguration was unable to determine your settings!'.
    I can see postings in the Internet of other people having the same problem with OoO, but couldn't see a solution that fits my case: some existing accounts in Outlook are fine, other are not and newly created profiles of aforementioned working accounts do not
    work. The majority of the articles/threads I read suggest recreating the Virtual Directories in Exchange, but we did that just a month ago (when troubleshooting the Autodiscover problem) and besides if the problem is in the Virtual Directories, I would expect
    it to affect all accounts.
    Any help in resolving this problem would be greatly appreciated. Please let me know if you need other details.
    Apologies if the posting is not in the right place or not done properly - I'm still learning.

    The IIS log files on the CAS might tell you something. Depending on how your proxy server handles NAT the IP address of your connection might be from the proxy server instead of your client.
    In any case, a tool like Fiddler (http://www.telerik.com/fiddler) can be extremely helpful in working on problems like this because it can decode the SSL traffic on the client and you can see what's being sent
    and what's being received.
    Another thing to check (although it's unlikely to be your case) is whether or not your browser (when you try connecting to the autodiscover URL) thinks it's in the "Internet" zone. the "Local intranet", or at a "Trusted" site.
    The domain names you use on machines on your LAN should be excluded from being proxyed. Anything with "." in the name will be set, unless excluded, to the proxy server.
    Is the time correct on the client machine? Is it more than 5 minutes different to the Exchange machines and domain controllers? That'd be something that would cause Kerberos to fail.
    A certificate can be a problem if its expired or if it doesn't have the correct names. But I wouldn't worry about the uglog.com domain just yet. Until you get the Autodiscover working with the SCP you have bigger problems.
    If you've never used a WPAD file then don't worry about it. It's very useful if you have a complex network and you want to manage how browsers connect to servers. For example, if you have multiple proxy servers the each manage a different set of names, an/or
    if some names should bypass proxy servers entirely and just connect directly. If run a strictly Microsoft network with only Microsoft product that you can manage with GPOs (and you can enforce those GPOs on every machine -- even the BYOD ones) you probably
    don't need a WPAD.

I have tried the instructions both for "if you have previously synced your device with iTunes" and "If you have Never synced your device with iTunes" . Neither has worked and I'm in a vicious circle with each time after lengthy downloads it still all ends with the program, & my phone, asking for my passcode to proceed.  I'm not sure if I have ever synced to my mac book (i may have) but my address book seems to automatically update on both devices without the need to plug in. Thank you for any knowledgable help that could efficiently get me  out of this passcode ****!

    Hi DRussell,
    If you have not sync'd your device to your Mac then you will have to force the phone into recovery mode and restore as a new device. Read the information in this link and follow the instructions to recover the phone:
