I cant get Firefox to download any files including updates. I get an error saying "Windows has closed the filepicker unexpectedly" and Firefox freezes. I use Windows 7 64 bit and I have the error in Firefox 7. Any help much appreciated.

At any attempt to download even update I get an error that says "Windows has unexpectedly closed the file picker".

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

  • I've just changed my router and whilst my laptops sync ok, my G4 tower which connects via an airport express doesn't connect to the internet. I think it's something to do with the IP or DHCP settings but have had no success, any help much appreciated.

    Hi Jake,
    Is it connecting to the Router or Modem?
    Is the new Router using maybe WPA2 encryption? If so, G4s can only do WPA or less.

    The Interface that connects to the Internet, needs to be drug to the top of System Preferences>Network>Show:>Network Port Configurations and checked ON.
    Instead of joining your Network from the list, click the WiFi icon at the top, and click join other network. Fill in everything as needed.

  • HT1212 I have forgotten my restrictions passcode on my iphone. How can I override/ get past this problem & get safari back? Any help much appreciated!!

    Hi there!
    I've forgotten the restrictions passcode that I set up. I've failed on 5 attempts. What can I do to get rid of it and access safari again?! I've restored original settings (which happily updated my software), but then restored the last phone back up which I made & so, of course, still have restrictions set as on. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks.

    To remove the Restrictions passcode you will need to Restore the Device as New...
    You will not be able to perform a backup as this would include the Restrictions passcode... which is what you have to remove...

  • I am wanting to exactly match two ID numbers from two differing worksheets within one work book. Once matched I am wanting to retrieve a row value from the second worksheet into the first. Any help much appreciated.

    I am wanting to exactly match two ID numbers from two worksheets within the one work book. ID numbers are non linear. Once exactly matched I wish to retrieve a corresponding row value from worksheet two and have it appear in worksheet one against the correct ID number. I have been looking at IF, VLOOKUP, and MATCH functions and suspect that what I want to do requires a combination of two or more. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    regards Vaughanh

    Vaughan,
    Data A:D is all cells start at column A thru column D.
    There is built-in help using the menu item "View > Show Function Browser"  in the search field (top right) you can enter vlookup and you will see the detailed description.
    From this we see:
    VLOOKUP
    (search-for, columns-range, return-column, close-match)
    search-for:  The value to find. search-value can contain any value type.
    columns-range:  A range of cells. range is a reference to a single range of cells, which may contain values of any type.
    return-column:  A number that specifies the relative column number of the cell from which to return the value. return-column is a number value. The leftmost column in the range is column 1.
    close-match:  An optional value that determines whether an exact match is required.
    close match (TRUE, 1, or omitted):  If there’s no exact match, select the column with the largest top-row value that is less than the search value. Wildcards can’t be used in search-for.
    exact match (FALSE or 0):  If there’s no exact match, return an error. Wildcards can be used in search-for.
    So... the 2,0 means return the value form the same row as the lookup value but from the 2nd column of the range.  3, 0 means from the 3rd column.  the ", 0" means exact match

    Hi there,
    This may be caused by a USB conflict or and issue with your security software. It looks like the article you came from has this information toward the bottom.
    Error 2000-2009 (2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, and so on)
    If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software. If the errors persist on another computer and known-good USB cable, the device may need service.

  • IP Configuration - IP in use? Any help much appreciated!

    Hi all,
    I have a slight problem with a new Time Capsule.
    The set up:
    *TC 500gb*
    *ADSL modem (D Link)*
    *MacBook Air*
    *HP Printer/Scanner/Copier 3210*
    *iPod touch*
    The Printer is connected via ethernet to the Time Capsule.
    Both the MacBook Air and the iPod touch connect via WiFi.
    The modem connects to the internet port on the Time Capsule.
    I receive an error message every time I power on the printer, or turn WiFi on the iPod touch.
    The message is:
    *IP Configuration*
    *62.249.169.50 is in use by 00:1d:4f:11:6f:d3, DHCP Server 192.168.1.1*
    That last part, 192.168.1.1 happens to be the address I have to type to access the D Link modem's config page via the web browser.
    Within this page, I have the following option:
    The device can be setup as a DHCP Server to distribute IP addresses to the LAN network.
    There are two choices:
    *No DHCP*
    Choose this option. The IP address must be manually assigned at each device connected to DSL-320T.
    *DHCP Server*
    Choose this option to setup as a DHCP server to distribute IP addresses to the LAN network.
    Currently, the second option is selected.
    Beneath this, is the following:
    *DHCP Server*
    Starting IP Address: 192.168.1.2
    Ending IP Address: 192.168.1.254
    Lease Time 60 seconds
    The starting and ending IP, and the lease time, can all be changed.
    If I don't power on the printer or turn on the iPod's WiFi, everything works ok.
    However, with the message appearing, I can't use the printer or web on the iPod.
    Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm guessing I need to change an IP address, or something...
    Any help is much appreciated!! Thanks in advance,
    -Chris

    Hello iPhone. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Since both of your AirPorts are 802.11n models, I suggest that you use the "extend" network feature available to these models versus using a WDS.
    Here is the basic setup steps to extend the AirPorts.
    o If practical, place the base stations in near proximity to each other during the setup phase. Once done, move them to their desired locations.
    o Open AirPort Utility and select the base station that will connect to the Internet.
    o Choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click the base station to open the configuration in a separate window. Enter the base station password if necessary.
    o Click AirPort in the toolbar, and then click Wireless.
    o Choose “Create a wireless network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then select the “Allow this network to be extended” checkbox.
    o Next, select the base station that will extend this network, and choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click the base station to open its configuration in a separate window. Enter the base station password if necessary.
    o Choose “Extend a wireless network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then choose the network you want to extend from the Network Name pop-up menu.
    o Enter the base station network and base station password is necessary.
    o Click Update to update the base station with new network settings.
    (ref: Page 46 of "Designing AirPort Networks Using AirPort Utility.)

  • Why does apple sit there and not have 24/7 help my itunes account is disabled and i cant get it back on :I, Why does apple sit there and not have 24/7 help my itunes account is disabled and i cant get it back on :I

    My itunes account is diabled because i forgot my security questions so i now have money i cant use!!!!! if apple s not gonna pick up there game i want a refund of all the money i spent.

    These are user-to-user forums.
    Have you tried to get your account re-enabled ?
    If not them you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
    You might then need to log out of your account on your iPod by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on it
    If that doesn't fix it then contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • Hi there, can anyone give me a link to download bootcamp? I want to use my apple keyboard with my windows7 machine. I'm surprised at just how difficult it is to find this!! Any help much appreciated!

    Would really appreciate some help on this one. I've had a good search around... it's not clear to me where to get the 64 bit version of the driver install files.

    Thanks for your reply CSound1.
    I was using Windows7 so didn't have the stuff you mentioned. However I actually found that the keyboard pairs anyway.. apart from a couple of mappings (which I can live with) it all worked just like using any other wireless keyboard! Not sure why I thought I needed to over complicate things!
    Just need to go into device manager -> Add New -> Press Keyboard power button to get ready to pair -> Select -> Enter Passcode -> Bob's your uncle!
    Thanks for the help though!
