I downloaded Firefox 4.0 and it says to re-install the toolbar but I have not been successful in doing so. I went to the forums and tried all the suggested fixes but none worked. Can I go back to the older version? I had no trouble with that and I do not like this new version at all. I tried a system restore twice and it did not fix the problem.

I would imagine it's the MyWay Searchbar which is classified by most anti-malware scanners as adware, or even worse as spyware. I say that because I see "SmileyCentral" in your list of plugins and that's an add-on for that particular toolbar. You can disable that via Tools | Add-ons | Plugins.
There are a number of toolbars which won't work with Firefox 4 anymore due to the enhanced protection mechanisms in the browser.
Mozilla recommends that you only install add-ons from its own security site @ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/?browse=featured Generally speaking, those have all been tested and approved. The exceptions are those currently under review which are marked with a yellow banner to warn users that they haven't passed Mozilla's labs yet.

  • I have much problems with version 7.0 three days ago, this doesn´t load pages always says " server no found it" or pages stay on load forever, it besides is so slow. I don´t like this new version. What can i do?

    I'm from Colombia, i have used mozilla since 3 years and i nerver had to have problems with it, but this new version is so unstable.
    whenever I open a page that aperece:
    ''''''Servidor no encontrado
    Firefox no puede encontrar el servidor en
    Compruebe que la dirección no tiene errores de escritura
    del tipo ww.ejemplo.com en lugar de
    www.ejemplo.com
    Si no puede cargar ninguna página, compruebe la conexión
    de red de su equipo.
    Si su equipo o red están protegidos por un cortafuegos
    o proxy, asegúrese de que Firefox tiene permiso
    para acceder a la web.''''''
    I'm very bored with my mozilla, not what else to do.

    This article has troubleshooting information for that error message:
    https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Server%20not%20found
    Also, it is possible your profile might have become damaged during the upgrade. You could try creating a new one.
    Step 1 is to make a backup of your existing profile in a safe place. More information: [https://support.mozilla.com//kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information].
    Step 2 is to start Firefox in the Profile Manager and create a new profile. More information: [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Managing+profiles Managing profiles].
    If it works well, step 3 is to move your bookmarks (and other settings if you like) to the new profile. More information: [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Recovering+important+data+from+an+old+profile Recovering important data from an old profile].
    Hope this helps.

  • HT1222 When there is a browser update like this Safari 5.1.4, Is there an article that instructs one the ideal way to update to a newer version of a browser like this newer version of Safari?  Is it best to close Safari and all other apps, restart...

    When there is an update to a newer version of a browser like this update to Safari 5.1.4, is there an article that goes over the best way to update to a newer version of a browser that one knows of? Is it best to close all apps, install the update, turn the computer off, turn it on and hold down the shift key until the gear and progress bar are showing, when this is finished, do a restart of the computer.  I hav always wondered the best way (if there is a best way) to update to a newer version of a browser so you avoid potential problems.  Is there a Support Article that goes over installing and updating to a newer version of one's browser, in this case Safari?
    Thanks.

    The following may or may not apply to Lion:
    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.
    This only takes a minute or two in Tiger, but much longer in Later versions of OS X.

    An article on troubleshooting Permissions can be found here:

    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.

  • I have a macbook pro and some of the original widgets have been removed by mistake and I can't find them torestore them. I wanted the original one back on the dashboard but I have't been able to do that. HELP !!! Thanks...

    I have a macbook pro and some of the original widgets have been removed from the dashboard dock by mistake. I can't seen to find them to restore tham. HELP!!!

    Widgets are located in the folder, users/"user name"/library/widgets/
    Whilst holding down the option key in finder, and selecting the library under the "go" menu, you can access your library within Lion.
    If you have a working Time Machine backup, you can restore those missing files back to the widgets folder. If you don't, and your widgets folder is empty, then they are indeed gone (unless they are still in the trash). You would then have to re-download them from where they came.
    If everything is there, then just click the "+" symbol at the lower left corner of the dashboard screen to add them back to the window.

  • I updated my iPod to ios7 but now I have none of songs that I've already paid for on the ipod, but they are still in my PC. How can I reload them on the ipod?

    I have just updated my ipod to ios7 and thought my music content was backed up in the process, but find all of the songs that I have already paid for in the past are missing from the ipod. They are still on my pc, but I don't know how to transfer them to the ipod. Any help will be much appreciated.

    Either redownload them directly to the iPod by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    or sync them to your iPod via iTunes

  • [nForce] K7N2 Delta2 Platinum w/Version B.5 BIOS, trouble with post and XP install.

    I have
    K7N2 Delta2 Platinum
    MS-6570E Version 1.0 motherboard
    AMD Sempron 2600+
    Elixir 500MB PC-3200 DDR (3 sticks, total 1.5GB)
    eVga Nvidia MX4000 64MB AGP card
    Maxtor ATA-100 PCI controller
    I pulled everything else out of the box. I've tried the B.3, B.4, and B.5 BIOS and set everything to Optimized Defaults. I created a striped RAID Array of 4 WD 80GB drives on the primary and secondary onboard controller. The CD is on the Maxtor controller.
    There are some problems I can't figure out.
    1) The mobo identifies the CPU as Athlon XP 1100
    2) The POST hangs just before seeking the IDE drives. I have to hit a key for it to continue.
    3) The LED's on the D bracket have the top right light dark until the key is hit. Something to do with initializing the floppy controller.
    4) The XP install fails to a blue screen just after hitting the F8 key to accept the license. The code is 0x0000007B.
    Can someone tell me what these issues have to do with each other and how I can correct them?

    Quote from: dmichael34 on 17-September-05, 22:42:56
    The Maxtor controller was removed when you originally suggested to do so. The add on controller is an SIL 680 RAID.
    I will try reseating the processor next.
    I can also attempt a boot through POST without the array, as this shouldn't affect the boot process.
    I did notice that the ctrl-alt-del on the LEFT side of the keyboard doesn't work.
    However, the ctrl-alt-del on the RIGHT side of the keyboard does work.
    Maybe I've been looking for a serious problem and overlooking the obvious.
    I do not see how the CPU temp would cause a pause at boot until "any key" is hit... it sounds more to me like the system has paused to either look for a device or boot a BIOS on a device card.
    If I am not mistaken, you are using a RAID card to boot windows? Is this correct?
    If that is true it is possible the boot sequence is not set correctly in the BIOS such as "BOOT OTHER DEVICE" ( I cannot remember the exact term in the BIOS)
    I am not sure about that but you could try changing the boot sequence so your RAID card is above "HARD DISK" on the list

  • HT6154 Hi there, i have bought a iphone 4 from graiglist , and when i turned the phone on , its asking for the Apple ID for the previous owner which i do not have, but i have my own apple ID . WHAT CAN I DO TO SOLVE THE ISSUE. YOUR HELP PLEASE

    **** there,

    If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. You must contact the previous owner to get permission to use the device. If you cannot contact the previous owner return the device to where you bought it and get a refund. You will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

  • I have OSX10.4.11 and 10.5 on my HD but I have only been using 10.4. Is it possible to update the 10.5 partition with my 10.4 info without an install disc ?

    Update HD partition w/o install disc ?

    Hi, if I understand correctly you want to migrate data & such from 10.4.11 to 10.5.8?
    If so boot from the 10.5.8 partition, Open Applications>Utilities>Migration Assistant & run that.

  • I have a password manager built into my fingerprint scanner. It worked on the older version of Firefox but it will not on this new version. It will not recognize log in pages and will not load information.

    With the old version, all I had to do was go to the log in page to any of my email accounts or membership sites and scan my finger. It would fill in the fields and open my account. I like this new version of Firefox, but if I am not able to use that password manager then I will have to install the older version.

    A 2008 black MacBook can run OS X Lion (OS X 10.7). However, if you want to use that Mac for apps that do not work with the new MacBook, I recommend you to leave it with Mac OS X 10.6.8, because OS X Lion removes compatibility with PowerPC apps.
    Do not worry about the battery of the new MacBook Pro. You can replace it yourself or take it to an Apple Store or reseller, and the cost is similar. However, it's important to take the Mac to an Apple Store or reseller if your Mac's battery fails while the Mac is in warranty, because you will get the battery replaced for free.

    I'm having the same problem. Subscribed to Creative Cloud. All the apps showing as 'Try' rather than the 'Download' buttons that apepar on a colleagues machine (who subscribed a few months ago). When I load the trial of Indesign, if I select 'licence software' - no space to put Adobe ID, only serial number which I don't have with the Creative Cloud membership.
    Tried everything that has been suggested. Updated everything in Adobe App' Manager. Gone back to open Indesign - still just has boxes for serial number.
    Please sort this out Adobe. I've wasted half a day trying to install on my machine and still have the rest of the studio to do.

  • When I try to open a spreadsheet on my Mac that I worked on with my iPhone, I get "You need a newer version of Numbers to open this spreadsheet." When I go to the App store, it says I already have it. I have v. 2.3 and can't seem to download newer version

    If you are running Mavericks, and the Mac App store says you are up to date, then you have Numbers 3.2 as well as Numbers 2.3. You are getting the "Need a newer version message because your Mac is trying to open the document using Numbers 2.3.
    Launch Numbers 3, then open the document from within that app, or right click/control-click the document and choose Open with Numbers 3.x.

  • I just downloaded Firefox 5 and it said that my Yahoo toolbar will not work with it. Is this true? If so I will not use this new version and will switch to another browser if Firefox stops supporting the Yahoo toolbar. Thank you.

    I just downloaded Firefox 5 and it said that my Yahoo toolbar will not work with it. Is this true? If so I will not use this new version and will switch to another browser if Firefox stops supporting the Yahoo toolbar. Thank you.

    Add-ons contain a range of compatible Firefox versions, and Firefox honors the listed range by disabling the add-on if you are trying to run it on an unlisted version.
    I'm sure Yahoo! will update its toolbar eventually, but not every add-on maker supports beta versions of software.
