I downloaded Firefox 4 for my Mac running MacOS 10.4.11 and replaced my older version (because I didn't understand the meaning of the barred circle) and now cannot use Firefox at all. How do I get the older version back?
When I try to open FF4 I get the message it can't be opened because it is not supported on my architecture. I can't believe no-one else has had this problem. You must have a lot of internet duffers who don't really know what they're doing. I need to get my old version of FF back if I'm going to run it on my computer. I don't understand why an app as widely used as this doesn't have a pre-app that assesses whether one has the architecture to run a new version. You advertisement merely said OS 10, and "all systems". It did not specify a newer MacOS than my 10.4.11. Now I seem to be out of luck and will just use Safari.
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 recently had an update to my Firefox account and since then cannot use it at all. When I try to a window opens which says the following:
The application or DLL C:/Program Files/Mozilla/Firefox/xul.dll is not a valid Windows image. Please check your installation diskette.Please do the following.
Go to [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html Download Firefox v3.6.17] and download it to the desktop.
Then go to Add/Remove Programs, scroll down to '''Mozilla Firefox '''and remove it, choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc., (''don't checkmark the box'').
Then reboot and delete the folder called '''Mozilla Firefox '''at this location: ''C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox''
Finally run the installation file you downloaded to the desktop earlier.
Your bookmarks, customizations etc., are maintained in a different location and will become available to you again once you complete the installation.
This is what's known as a 'clean install'. It will overwrite the corrupt files which are preventing Firefox from starting. -

I used iCloud before I updated to the new iOS 6 and now I only have 44 pictures how can I get them all back?
Photo stream only keeps your photos for 30 days. After that, they are removed from your photo stream but not from any device that has already received them. Chances are, the 44 photos are from the last 30 days; the others are not there because they are no longer in your photo stream.
If the photos were in your camera roll when you last backed up, restoring to the backup should recover them. However, you will have to restore to the entire backup to do so. If they weren't backed up or imported to your computer, there is no way to recover them now.
To be sure your photos are saved, regularly import them from the camera roll to your computer as outlined here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083. -
When I open my email account thru Firefox, there is a blinking message in my task bar stating that "lorainemihiril" sent me a message. I DO NOT know this person, I can't make it go away and I NEVER use instant messaging. How do I get rid of this??? Sometimes there is more than one of these flashing messages all with the same name.
Disable Yahoo Messenger in your Yahoo Mail account.
Use the arrow on the right of your account name to go offline or sign out.

Please see the bold. If you're out of icloud storage, then you won't be able to backup to icloud unless you purchase more storage, but yet you said you backup to icloud.
If you really did backup to icloud no data would be loss - sounds to me that it didn't backup since you had no more free icloud storage space.

a tech company just set up a wifi network in my house and does not use my existing TC; how do I get it in the network to serve as backup for my iMac? (I don't need it as a wifi access point anymore) thanks
Just bridge the TC and plug it by ethernet into the main router.
Bridge in v5 airport utility.
In v6 it is under network.. change it from DHCP and NAT to Off bridge mode.
Turn off the wireless. -

I have to use microsoft office 2007 and 2003 for windows and I'm using a macbook pro, How i can get the on mac?
You can either use Office for Mac 2011 or use Boot Camp to run Windows or use a VM, such as Parallels Desktop to run Windows. Running Windows, you'd be able to use MS Office for Windows.

Recently Apple replaced the hard drive on Mac running Yosmite 10.10.2 and now when i try to rn FaceTime, the computer says "no camera available". Does anyone no how to fix this?
Assuming there is no hardware problem try reinstalling Yosemite. If this does not work then take it back to the Apple Store.
Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility and press the Continue button. After Disk Utility loads select the Macintosh HD entry from the the left side list. Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If Disk Utility reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
