I cannot run any software that I download usuing Mozilla firefox because it is a binnary file

my computer goes hay wire and I have to unplug it and reboot it ever since I can remember with firefox never had a problem with Windows Explorer When I download a program firefox only alows me to save it it will not allow me to run it .

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

I cannot do any software updates without downloading "Mac OS X 10.5", but I cant find it anywhere!!

My computer won't find any software updates, can't even do it manually.
Every time I go to download something from apple it says I can't without "Mac OS X 10.5". but I cannot find this update anywhere!
HELP!!

You need to understand the difference between an Update and an Upgrade.
An Update is a free change within an existing Operating System. Such as the .11 added to 10.4.
An Upgrade is a complete new Operating System that must be purchased. Such as 10.5 Leopard to 10.6 Snow Leopard.
You can upgrade from 10.4 to 10.6 with no problems. Any program that runs under 10.4 should run under10.6. See this list for compatibility with 10.6: http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/ You might have to upgrade some drivers for printers, etc.... And you will have to install Rosetta if you have any Power PC applications http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/snow_leopard_installing_rosetta/
I recently upgraded an older MacBook (model 1,1) straight from 10.4 to 10.6.
A retail 10.5 Leopard disk will run you over $200
Mac OS 10.6 Snow Leopard came out in July of 2009 and became obsolete in July of 2011 when 10.7 Lion was introduced. Unlike earlier Operating Systems which were removed from the Apple Store when a new OS came out Apple kept Snow Leopard around for a year until 10.8 Mountain Lion came out. When Mountain Lion came out they removed Snow Leopard and Lion from the online store.
The Early 2006 model 1,1 Core Duo can only run a maximum of 10.6 Snow Leopard. The models Late 2006 Core 2 Duos 2,1 through Early 2008 4,1 can only run a maximum of 10.7 Lion. The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody through the Mid 2010 White Unibody model 7,1 can run 10.8 Mountain Lion.
The Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD should still be available from Apple for $20. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775 to purchase it. It may still be in the Legacy Products list.
If they no longer have any in stock you will have to buy it from eBay or Apple resellers that still have stock. But you will have to pay a premium since the DVDs are no longer being made. Snow Leopard DVDs are already up to $100 on Amazon.

Our imac cannot run any system beyond 10.4.11, but Firefox is our main browser; why are you leaving us without support?

Our imac is great, at 10 years old. We don't need a new one. Please make the new version of Firefox compatible with system 10.4.11--or continue to support our system. Why unnecessarily require your users to invest upwards of $1,000 in unnecessary hardware?

In my case it seems that Firefox just doesn't "see" (or can't find?) the coupon printer application anymore after the FF update. (and yes, my add-ons are enabled - to answer the tech support people's first question).
For me, the coupon printer doesn't even show up in my Firefox "Add-Ons" list anymore. Is that what people typically see when they're saying the coupon printer "doesn't work" with FF? The coupon printer was visible on the add-ons list before my FF update, and now it's totally Gone! It seems that Firefox just doesn't "see" (or can't find?) the coupon printer application anymore since the FF update.
When I'm on the coupons.com site and I click "print coupons", it tells me I haven't installed the application. But it Is installed on my computer, I can see it in my folders, and it works on IE, so it's definitely there.
BTW - I have uninstalled/reinstalled the coupon printer application. I have tried all the suggestions on the Mozilla help/forum sites, as well as the Coupons.com web site. I have closed and re-started Firefox after the installation. I have also shut down and restarted my pc after installation. I tried installing the application with Firefox open, and tried it again with Firefox closed. I've even cleared out all my cookies/history associated with Coupons.com.
... I can't think of anything else to try, except for the "solution" of using IE for coupons.
If it Really is a problem on the Coupon.com end of things, do you think it's worth it if we bombard the coupons.com support team with messages saying they need to fix the problem? (or just a waste of time?) ;(

I'd like to know what would be the most compatible Virus protection software that would go with Mozilla Firefox?

I was recently given "as a gift" a new lap top, at least I was told it was new it's a HP 2000 LAP TOP (NOTEBOOK) PC! IT HAS 4 GB RAM, I don't know if you need more info then that right now but I would gladly get it for you if needed.
I recently had a computer crash, I had back up on my most important info, but not ALL info that was filed.
What had happen is somewhat my neglect, the other problem was the "tech" was asking me the most unusual questions, one was I had to find or remember my very first password I started Microsoft with, that was over 5 years ago on my older lap Top. I do have passwords written down for everything that needs one BUT; I didn't have my original password. (I haven't for almost 2 years), I change them just for safety reasons about every 90 days or so. Well As I was trying to use what passwords I had, the "Tech" ("questionable") I did this for approximately 30 minutes before I got fed up and disconnected the connection, which unfortunately, when I tried starting back up I had a blue screen with white writing, that from a past experience meant my computer crashed HOWEVER it did not give me that notice when you crash just said restart your computer. So I did, but after the desktop started showing up with my icons, many of them were missing.
So I thought This be a good time to use software my friend sent called "Roll back" similar to system restore, but with the ability to find and restore files you may have lost. Well I did recover some, however I lost many files, I am totally unable to watch any DVD MOVIES ON ANY type of player right now. My main Question is "What is the best possible Virus scan/ firewall compatible with my version of Firefox 30"???
And could it help me in the future if God Forbid something similar were to haunt me in the future?? I couldn't afford anything over $80 . Thank You BuddyD54

Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
* [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx Microsoft Safety Scanner]
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]
* [http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit Utility]
* [http://www.surfright.nl/en/hitmanpro/ Hitman Pro]
* [http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner/ ESET Online Scanner]
[http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.
Further information can be found in the [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]] article.

Toshiba have any software that I can download that will check the Health of my hard drive

I have a Dell model 3847 desktop computer with a Model TOSHIBA DT01ACA100 hard drive, does Toshiba have any software that I can download that will check the Health of my Toshiba Hard Drive? If so where can I get the software?

Fujitsu - DT01ACA100
Toshiba bought Fujitsu and uses their tools for their drives. MajorGeeks has one here.

Somehow, all of my exe files are tagged as Acrobat files - I cannot run any of the software on my computer - when I start the computer none of the startup programs run because they all try to open in acrobat.

HT1338 I cannot do any software update can someone explain me how to fix this ?

I have a macbook pro with Mac OS x 10.6.8 and cannot do any software update can anyone help me ?

Yes. The description for Pages in the Mac App Store says 10.7.4 or later. Mountain Lion is 10.8.
First, check this page (about Mountain Lion)
http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
where it says Supported Models, to make sure your MacBook Pro model can run Mountain Lion. If it can, get Mountain Lion instead of Lion. It's $20, and there is no requirement to first install Lion before installing Mountain Lion.
Before running the Mountain Lion Installer, it would be a good idea to run Disk Utility. Select "Macintosh HD" in the sidebar and go to the First Aid tab. Use Repair Disk Permission and then Verify Disk. Don't be concerned about message that come up with Repair Disk Permission, but if any error is reported byVerify Disk, you need to fix that problem BEFORE installing a system upgrade. Running these checks will help avoid problems, if there are any issues on your startup disk prior to running the upgrade.
If your Mac has been running without restarting for a while, you should restart, THEN immediately run the Mountain Lion Installer.

I have a Mac 10.5.8 Dual. I cannot get any videos that I have stored to play. I have tried QT and then DL two out side players from apple site and then went to install and comp said can not be installed on this comp.

When Microsoft decided not to support Windows Media any more, they made Flip4Mac available for free. If you have not taken advantage of that free download, this might be a good time.
It may not completely solve the problem, but your Mac will play more with the free player. No need to pay for the Upgrades.

I cannot update ANY software. I get an error with / applications. How do I fix?

I am currently using Mac OS X v10.5.8 and cannot perform ANY software updates. Please help!

Because I don't want to through good money after bad. Up until this point the only apple produce I hadn't had issues with was my iMac and now after a few years it too has been added to the list. You will have to excuse me as I have several issues going on with multiple products at this time. I will try my best to keep them seperate.
Will Snow Leopard solve this problem or will I not be able to download it like everything else? Just this morning I had to get a new version of Adobe (which automatically uninstalls the current version) and was not able to install it.

Recently Got a Mac Book and was wondering if there is any software that Apple recommends to import my music/pics/video from my Iphone onto my computer. I no longer have the previous compture and if I sync my Iphone I'll lose everything.

This is the iTunes for Windows forum...
You should be able to:
Backup the device to the new windows installation
Transfer your purchases into a newly authorized library
Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
Restore the device from the backup
This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
When you get it all fixed, make a backup! (Windows tip). For a Mac use Time Machine or Carbon Copy Cloner.

I guess the problem come from me or I really need those contacts before he calls me for it. I'll try some method that I got from some responders on your support website. Do you have or can you recommand any software that can solve this problem?

One more thing. I just update my iphone that my boss gave to me but it seems to be like it giving me some trouble. My iphone was updated not too long and was successful. I try to lock into it and it telling me emergency call. I plug it to my itune and it telling me that the sim card is not valid or supported. So I inserted my sim card that I usually use to call and it still saying the same. Please help me get into it.

And as far as paying for phone support, here are a few tips:
If you call your carrier first and then they route you to Apple, you usually don't have to pay for phone support.
If you are talking to Apple and they ask you to pay a support fee, ask if you can get an exception this time. That usually works once, but they keep track of the times you've been granted such an exception.
If you still end up paying the support fee, that fee only applies if it's not a hardware related issue. In other words, if it can be fixed by just talking over the phone and following Apple's instructions, then the fee applies. But if your device is deemed to have a hardware failure that caused the issue, then the fee should not apply, and you can ask for it to be waived after the fact.
This forum is free, and almost all of the technical support articles the Apple tech advisors use are available on this website. Literally 99% of what they can do over the phone is just walking you through the publicly available support articles. In other words, you're paying the fee to have them do your research for you. It's like hiring a research consultant to go look stuff up in the public library so you don't have to. You're capable of doing it; you'd just rather pay someone to do it for you.
It's like Starbucks. You know how to make coffee. Everyone knows how to make coffee. And Starbucks coffee isn't any better than what you could make at home for far less. But you want the convenience. So you're really paying a convenience fee. Milk is more expensive at 7-Eleven than it is at the grocery store... because it's a convenience store.

Adobe Flash cannot download with Mozilla Firefox 35 and Firefox 35.0.1

Adobe Flash cannot be downloaded with Mozilla Firefox 35 and Firefox 35.0.1.
I cannot seems to download any Adobe Flash on Windows 10 Technical Preview Enterprise version 9926!
I already feedback the matter to Firefox and still have no valid reply from Mozilla.
Even I disable the Firefox blocking content. It still cannot get thru to Adobe Flash to download.

Hello ZigZag,
I did have disable the blocking content. Still it doesn't work. This is a problem that I face right now.
I have submitted this problem to Mozilla Firefox team.
I did not have any issues with Windows 8.1 with the same browser version Firefox 35.
It having issues on Windows 10 build 9926.
So it is either Windows 10 is having issues or Firefox or Adobe itself.
Either one of it.
I submitted the issues to both Firefox and Adobe for this matter. Right until now I have no reply from them.
For your info, this laptop cannot download any Windows Build updates...
I have to download the new build ISO manually. I wonder why I cannot get the new release of prebuild updates from Microsoft. Makes me wonder all the time. Why I cannot do any updates!
Formatted the hard disk and do a clean install of Windows 10 beta build 9926.

I cannot run any software that I download usuing Mozilla firefox because it is a binnary file
