I clicked where it said to install an updated Firefox, but it is sitting on my Mac's desktop--I don't know how to install it. Also, it said that it was 5.0 (from Yahoo site), not the 3.6 that they talk about here.
[This is the second time I have typed this out. I don't understand where these things disappear to. Anyway . . .]
Originally, some months ago, I was at my Yahoo e-mail site, and a notice came up suggesting that I update my Firefox. I clicked for them to go ahead and start the process. It didn't install anything, but this *thing* appeared on my (Mac) desktop that said *yahoo_firefox_3.6.8_setup_is.dmg*. I continued to get noticed to upgrade, and I thought by clicking on that button did that.
Tonight, I decided to try again. This time, the same thing happened. It downloaded on my desktop, but didn't install. Now I have two files sitting on my (Mac) desktop. The original that says 3.6.8 and the new one which says the same thing except that it is a 5.0 version. I have a Mac OS X 10.4.11 system.
My questions: How do I install Firefox from my desktop with the file thingy they sent me? and (2) What version do I use?
When I clicked on the second site mentioned, I got such EXPLICIT, step-by-step directions!!! Thank you so much. I'd been wondering what that window was that kept popping up with the Firefox icon and that other funny thing. The word *install* was never mentioned. Pictographs were never my thing.
When I looked under the initial system requirements, it said that OS X 10.4.5 and higher were good for 5.0. I didn't check further. Under your advice, I'll go with the older version. Thank you for taking the time to help me.

Just installed up-dated Firefox. I lost my FB and game tool-bar. Don't know how to get it back.
Fire-Fox just got updated today. I did not add on my Facebook and Game Tool-Bar. I need to re-install and don't want to mess things up.
Please help. Thanks!Soup,
I am with Pierre here, in that I do not see, from your screen-cap, what is missing, or what has changed for you.
If the suggestion to Reset Workspace, or trashing your Prefs, does not fix things, please post another screen-cap, showing exactly what is missing, or what has changed.
Good luck,

Hi, I just put a new internal hard disk to my MacBook after formattimg it and I don't know how to install the OS X? Any help please
Be sure you have prepared the new drive correctly:
Drive Preparation
1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (for Intel Macs) or APM (for PPC Macs) then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
Steps 4-6 are optional but should be used on a drive that has never been formatted before, if the format type is not Mac OS Extended, if the partition scheme has been changed, or if a different operating system (not OS X) has been installed on the drive.
When formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Complete the OS X installation. -

Is this how you reset?

3. Until you see the Apple logo (very important)

I don't know how to install j2re on Linux
Can someone help me? I wanted to install j2re on SuSE Linux 8.0. I downloaded the .bin-file from this site, but I don't know how to install it. Is it possible that I downloaded the wrong file?
execute the file "./j2re...bin". If you got the Tarzip one, the j2re will extract into a directory called "j2re1.4.0_01" (depending on the version). Then you just move this directory to where you want the j2re installed, set up the environment:
export JAVA_HOME=/path/to/j2re1.4.0_01
export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin
export CLASSPATH=.
(amend for your install.)
and it should work.
For the RPM version, you'll get a RPM after executing the file, which may then be installed using the usual RPM tools. I'd recommend the RPM file only on Red Hat though. There are differences between Red Hat and other distros which may cause problems.

What version of Pages?
How did you install it?
I don't know if you can see what's on my screen, but I definitely can't see what's on yours.
To Install Word, buy it and follow the instructions.

When I open a pdf file, after a few seconds, it hides the toolbar and I don't know how to get it back. I use multiple monitors and, without being able to grab the toolbar, I am unable to move the pdf file to a different monitor. How do I stop this?
Does Firefox switch to full screen if you press F11 ?
You can also try the F10 key to see if that brings up the menu bar.

You need to press command-R (at the sound of the chime) to get into recovery, try that, if it does not work try command-option-R for Internet Recovery. -

I have a OS X 10.6.8 Mini Mac - I cannot empty my trash so went to Disk Repair and had a message that my start up disc need repairing - do not know how to do this - also I have a message saying my Start Up disc has no more Memory Spave available for application memory. HELP - I am not very computer literate so please use simple language, thanks
One stage at a time!
1. Can't empty trash:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1526?viewlocale=en_US
2. Repairing permissions is important, and should always be carried out both before and after any software installation or update.
Go to Disk Utility (this is in your Utilities Folder in your Application folder) and click on the icon of your hard disk (not the one with all the numbers).
In First Aid, click on Repair Permissions.
Background information here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1452?viewlocale=en_US
and here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302672
An article on troubleshooting Permissions can be found here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2963
By the way, you can ignore any messages about SUID or ACL file permissions, as explained here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448?
If you were having any serious problems with your Mac you might as well complete the exercise by repairing your hard disk as well. You cannot do this from the same start-up disk. Reboot from your install disk (holding down the C key). Once it opens, select your language, and then go to Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Select your hard disk as before and click Repair.
Once that is complete reboot again from your usual start-up disk.
