I cant open Firefox, when I try I get this message "Your firefox profile can't be loaded, It may be missing or inaccessible". Can you please provide a solution.

I bought a new IMAC Apple pc a month ago and am used to Windows. I am new to MAC software and tried to solve the issue myself by searching online and through your database without success. Can you please help by sending step by step instructions on how to fix the above issue.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an old profile (if you have one) to that new profile

Your firefox profile can not be loaded. it may be missing or inaccessible

i just updated my computer, after i did so, firefox wont open, it says your firefox profile can not be loaded, it may be missing or inaccessible. I have read every thread in here, and nothing works. i can't find the profiles.ini folder and i cant create a new profile. what to do now?

A likely cause is a problem with the profiles.ini file and the profile marked as Default=1 in this file is no longer present on the hard drive.
*/Users/<user>/Library/Application Support/Firefox/

You can use one of these to make Firefox create/use a new default profile:
*Delete the profiles.ini file to force Firefox to create a new default profile
*Use the Profile Manager to create a new profile
*Use "Choose Folder" when you create a new profile to select the location of a lost profile and recover this profile

A copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time. I GET THIS MESSAGE - BUT FIREFOX APPEARS NOT TO BE OPEN.????????

i have already deleted (trashed) all versions of firefox, and then re-downloaded the new Firefox, and when i try to open it, i get the message, "A copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time."

Make sure you allow Firefox a few minutes to close down,and always use the menu options to close Firefox (Not just closing a window or killing the process).
Just for now Look for Firefox processes or plugin container that are still running and kill them before trying again.

I am unable to update my iTunes. When I try, I get a message saying needed files are on a resource that is unavailable. How can I remove my current iTunes and reinstall it?

Hi, I have an iPod Touch 5th generation.
I have a Windows XP computer.
I cannot update my version of iTunes.When I try, I get a message saying that the needed files are on a network resource that is not available.
This has happened before, but has been fixable, but.not by me..
Can I fix it myself? if so, how? I'd like to uninstall iTunes and reinstall it so I can update it.
thanks for any help. nanc3

Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP

When I download and try to install Thunderbird I get the message "Your Thunderbird profile cannot be loaded, it may be missing or inaccessible".

Because of a virus, I redownloaded Thunderbird 24.4.0 and it completed until trying to open Thunderbird when I get the message "Your Thunderbird profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible." I know the profile exists in a "recovered files" folder. I've tried to move it to the current Thunderbird folder but get the same message. I've tried to follow a Mozillazine article but it's too complicated. Is there any online help, such as chat or phone?

I think I have finally figured out how to reply to you. Even though your email says to reply to [email protected], that just goes into dead space.
So to answer your question, the profiles.ini file has in it:
<pre><nowiki>{General}
StartWithLastProfile=1
{Profile0}
Name=default
IsRelative=1
Path=Profiles/ghdigdus.default</nowiki></pre>
Also, I want to mention that there is a Thunderbird folder in C:\ just above the Users folder. It has two profiles in it, one of which is the e00qmtzd.default folder.
Are we getting closer to solving this problem?

Have either of you had any luck with this issue. It began happening to me today when I was trying to purchase music on iTunes. I have purchased music and games in the past and have had no problem. Any help would be appreciated.

Remember, any purchased item from the itunes store is forever associated with the Apple ID used to buy it. So when you get prompted for an ID/password and it doesn't accept it, then you are using the wrong ID.
Go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores, be sure it's logged into the ID you have set on the iphone (since that one seems to be connecting with the right ID). If you've done this, then you might wait a bit to see if the "cannot connect to .. store" message has to do with internet connections.

It is just as the message says. Your video card is not compatible.
You can add a compatible graphics card and use FCP X with your mac. I can't suggest which one, but maybe other people on this forum can guide.
And you may also get good suggestions in the Mac Pro forum.

Our home address changed and our AMEX card identity has been stolen. So when i edit to change my address and AMEX number it won't let me and get this message: "YOUR SESSION HAS TIMED OUT. TRY AGAIN. How do I access the store to change my account????

We moved and our address has changed. Also our AMEX card identity has been stolen twice and AMEX has changed our number and security code twice already. Now i am trying to edit my account at Itunes. Every time I try to edit our account at Itunes, I get this message: "YOUR SESSION HAS TIMED OUT. TRY AGAIN" Anything i am doing wrong? How do I get to the accounting department without getting this message?
Thanks

I am having this problem too. I recently changed ISP b/c I wanted the iPhone, so I had to update my iTunes username to my Gmail account.
In fact, I logged in HERE using it as my new Apple Id... so it works!
But for some **** reason that is driving me nuts my iPhone will not connect to the iTunes store using my new Apple Id. It keeps saying my email has changed or is invalid and asks me to sign in to change it. So I do that, and it lets me in USING MY NEW Apple ID!!!! Then I go back out to the buy the App and the madness starts all over.
Come on Apple, do you want me to buy your apps, or what?

Your firefox profile cannot be loaded. it may be missing or inaccessible. Vista

Vista. I tried uninstall and reinstall 3.6.3 and 4 beta 7 with reboot in between.
When I try to start FF 4 beta 7, I still get the message "your firefox profile cannot be loaded. it may be missing or inaccessible"

Use a specific [[Managing profiles|profile]] to test Firefox 4.0b7 and keep your current profile for Firefox 3.6.
Moreover, you use an out-of-date version of Firefox 3.6, [[Updating Firefox|update Firefox 3.6]].

I am trying to download Firefox on my laptop which runs Vista. I am getting the following error message: Your Firefox profile can't be loaded, it may be missing or innaccessible." Please help.

After updating iOS, I only see a black screen on my iPad asking for a 4 digits passcode, I've tried severeal times and now every time I try I get this message "Ipad dissable wait 60 min... I do not know what to do???

Howdy mendjes25,
It sounds like you’ve recently updated your iPad and now it’s disabled because the passcode you’re entering isn’t being accepted. I can imagine that would be frustrating. Take a look at the article linked below, it describes the alert you’re seeing and provides the possible resolutions for that issue.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
I hope this helps,

Firefox profile cannot be loaded it may be missing or inaccessible WINDOWS 8

I have a Windows 8 OS running on a PC. I have been using Firefox as my browser for several months. Suddenly, when I try to load Firefox, I get an error message, "Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible." I have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox version 21.0 twice, and still get the same error message. How do I get to the profile.ini file using Windows 8, and what am I supposed to do when I ever get there?

There are a few steps to try.
First, try resetting Firefox:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/reset-firefox-easily-fix-most-problems
If this doesn’t solve the problem, trying using the Firefox Profile Manager to remove your old profile and create a new one manually:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
If this still doesn’t work, try deleting the profile.ini file to force Firefox to create a new default profile:
* Make sure that Firefox is closed
* Press Windows key+R to open the Run box
* Type: %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox
* Click “OK”
* Delete the file called “profile.ini”
* Run Firefox again

I cant open Firefox, when I try I get this message "Your firefox profile can't be loaded, It may be missing or inaccessible". Can you please provide a solution.
