I cannot install Firefox: installation tells me that I have no administartor rights, but I do.

Although in Vista I am registered as administrator, the firefox installation pop-up tells me that my username and password are not correct?

beckyj3,
the last version of Mac OS X which supported running PowerPC apps on Intel Macs was Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard). If you’d like to play this PowerPC game on your Intel MacBook Pro, then you’ll need to install Snow Leopard on it and boot into Snow Leopard. (Note that the last MacBook Pro which natively supported Snow Leopard was the Early 2011 model.)
The game was almost certainly published before Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) was released, so back then, all versions of “Mac OS X 10.3 or higher” would have supported running that PowerPC game.

Correct.
You cannot load Flash on your iPhone.

When I try to update my iTunes, it tells me that I have the latest version, but I only have 10.6.3 - how can I override this?

I'm sorry but your post seems vague as to exactly what version of what you are running, therefore, it comes as a surprise that you mention that "it" won't let you update iTunes. Did you run Software Update or try updating from within iTunes?
If you are running a Mac under Mac OS X 10.6.3, then if you should be able to update that by using System Update to version 10.6.8 - first and foremost.
Then, assuming you can run Mac OS X 10.6.8; I would think that you can (secondarily) update iTunes to Version 10.7 or Ver. 11.0.5.; IMHO 10.7 is better as it has Coverflow. Nonetheless...

I have downloaded iCloud on my pc (chrome browser) and when I go to sign in it tells me that I have an Apple account but that it is not an ICloud account so I cant sign in? What do I do now?

I just seem to go round in circles - all I want to do is set up iCloud on my pc and I keep being told that I have an apple account but not an iCloud account - help

You're getting that messge because you are trying to create an iCloud account on your PC. You can only create an iCloud account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch) running iOS 5 or higher, or on a Mac running OS X Lion (10.7.2) or higher. After creating the account on one of these devices, you will then be able to sign into the account on your PC.

I have administrator rights to my own computer (Windows 7 64 bits), and have started Firefox as administrator, but it tells me that I have no administrator rights to update it! What to do?

It asks me to contact the system administrator, but that is me!
Of course I can reinstall Firefox, but it is a bit frustrating.

Download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
Uninstall your current Firefox version. 
Don't remove personal data when uninstalling.

Tried to install Firefox 8.0, it says I have a newer version, but have a 3.6.24. How come?

When I use Firefox (3.6.24) I get a page saying I need the newest version, 8.0. I download the new one, move the file from "Fetched files" and put it on my desk, where I open it.
As I, in dialogue field, drag Firefoxsymbol over to Applications map, it says "You've got a more recent object, are you sure you want to replace it?"
Should I ignore that and go on with the installation?
And what could be the newer object that's already there?

* Remove firefox first
* get fresh installer from getfirefox.com
* run install

Firefox installation does not initiate. Have tried different versions but the pop-up only remains for less than 1 second then closes down.

Firefox crashed without even opening the main window - just the apology pop-up appeared. Nothing I could do would open the programme. MS Fixit identified a problem with IE8 and put it down to AVG8 Link Scanner. I disabled this, and tried Firefox again. It worked perfectly for a time. Later, when trying to open Firefox, nothing happened - no crash pop-up, no navegation window - zilch. I tried to re-install the programme, but as soon as I execute it, the "Extracting" pop-up opens then closes immediately. I tried to uninstall Firefox using the Windows control panel, but this did not work - Error 21, whatever that is, then tried to reinstall again with the same result.The Firefox uninstall did work. I unistalled my AVG8 anti-vir and tried again - nothing. I downloaded an older version of Firefox - same result. Something is blocking any activity concerning Firefox and I am totally at a loss to identify it. Can anyone help, please?

1. Is there a "hung" firefox.exe process in the Windows Task Manager?
2. Have you tried restarting that PC?

I have a Macbook Pro and have just purchased a GSP hidden objects game. It says on the box that it is compatible and when I try and install it it tells me that installation has been successful. However, it then says that PowerPC games not supported. Help?

No game icon appears on my desktop and I don't know what I can do.
Really ****** off as i've not played these games since switching from a windows PC to a Mac and was really excited!! All I want is to be able to play my new game that arrived in the post today. If anyone can help I would be really really grateful....
The game says that it needs Mac OS X 10.3 or higher to run so I don't understand what the problem is or how I can fix it!!

We can't know. You are not providing any system information or other details. Restart your system, make sure to sign in as admin, then try again.

None of the stuff in " http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locked_or_damaged_places.sqlite " helps. I have tried and tried and I have even wipe the computer clean still didn't help. I got the same problem as he/she has got in the first posted. Can add some web pages but not all the web pages I want.. I should have never updated to 3.6.13... That's when it all started for me, from that version..... Now Version 3.6.14 is out, I was hoping the version 3.6.14 might would fix the problem wrong again....
Funny thing is i can not even Bookmark Firefox.com!!!!!...lol
So any ideas on how to fix it other than the link giving would help.
Thanks.

Hey I have a toshiba laptop and I cannot install firefox because the laptop runs android and there's only version for linux...and if u can tell me how to install adobe flash player too...Any advices??

This is a known problem, but we don't have a solution for it. If your device has the Toshiba Market app, you might be able to download a (possibly outdated) version of Firefox from there.

I get, You're not on the latest version of Firefox. Upgrade today to get the best of the Web! When I go to the update site it tells me that I have the latest version.

I start the Firefox browser.
When the start page displays I get just below the Google search box:
You're not on the latest version of Firefox. Upgrade today to get the best of the Web!
Not unusual but when I go to the update site it searches for a minute and then tells me that I have the current version of the software.

If you use the www.google.com/firefox site as home page that previous Firefox 3 versions use as the home page then you can ignore the message about not using the latest Firefox version on that page. 
Google no longer seems to maintain that page. 
Current Firefox 4+ versions no longer use that Google website as the home page, but use the build-in about:home page as the home page. 
Google assumes that you use an older Firefox version if you still visit that site and warns you that you use an older Firefox version and suggests to update. 
You can use another page as the home page like about:home or www.google.com or www.google.com/ig (iGoogle).

I have an Apple iphone 4s and for the last 4 weeks I cannot download or update any apps. I have an iPad and a Mac book pro and the apps download on these devices fine. My phone tells me that I have 12 updates but when I press update all or update any individually nothing happens at all. It also does not ask me for my password any more but my iPad and mac book do.
I have signed in and out of the app store and the password is correct. I have tried both kinds of reboot but that did nothing. I have tried to update the apps by connecting phone to Mac book pro...it shows the apps being download on the Mac book and says it will sync them to my phone but it does not. Everything else on my phone works fine.
Any ideas ...Please!

Thank you, this has resolved both the iphone and ipad problem immediately. I am concerned that I may have a problem with apps that I bought under my old AppleID as they will not be recognised. Any suggestions for this please?

I cannot install Firefox: installation tells me that I have no administartor rights, but I do.
