I downloaded Firefox, but can't install because I "don't have permission to have all the" something. This is my personal laptop.

I wait until the download is finished, but when I try to drag the icon to the folder, it says I don't have permission to have all the info (not a direct quote). This happened yesterday when I was trying to upgrade, so today I trashed all the aliases and icons and tried to start over, but the same thing happened.

Download a new copy of the Firefox program: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean reinstall.
Install the new version that you have downloaded.

  • I download Firefox and can't install it. Get a "Not valid Win32 application." I get this with any program I want to install. I suspect a virus.

    No program that has not been installed will linstall. No matter which I try, I always get "Not a valid Win32 application." I also clicked the "Automatic troubleshooting information," below, and it never stopped downloading so I was not able to go any further. It seems Windows must be fixed, somehow, but I have no idea about that. I tried to install both AVG and Avast anti-virus but it seems to be too late. Whatever I have prevents either of them from installing, too.
    Nothing ever popped up, including a window with Allow. As the alternative, I don't see a Help>Troubleshooting Information, either.

  • When attempting to upgrade Firefox by dragging the icon to the applications fldr, I get a message saying it can't because I don't have all nec. privilieges (this is on Max OSX). But I have administrator privileges. Why can't I complete the process?

    This happens on both my Macs: Macbook running OS 10.4, and iMac running OS 10.5. The message doesn't say which privilieges I needs, nor anything about being the administrator, but on the iMac I am the administrator, and on the MacBook I have administrator privileges.

      When I try send video clips as attachments, I get a message saying Quicktime can't open the .avi - why?
    How are you tryin to send the .AVI file? Are you sending the attachment directly from Mail or from Aperture or iPhoto?

  • Have Mac OS X 10.4.11; bought Quickbooks and it requires 10.6; updated to 10.6 but can't install because it won't open without 10.5

    Have 10.4.11; bought Quickbooks and it wants 10.6; upgraded to 10.6 but can't install because it won't open without 10.5. Don't see upgrade for 10.5 in download list.

    Hi Loraine,
    Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) was between Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) and Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard).  If your Quickbooks program indicates it requires Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and you've installed that, then you've done what you can (you can't install 10.5 when you already have 10.6 installed...you are already more up to date).
    It sounds like you are having an issue with the Quickbooks program so you may wish to contact those that make / support that application.
    Cheers.

  • I downloaded form filler for firefox but can't find it and don't know how to use it?

    I downloaded form filler for firefox but can't find it and don't know how to use it?

    This doesn't sound like a Firefox problem. You should try to consider, methodically, what you did before the problem occurred so that you can describe to someone exactly what occurred, and in what order.

    If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.

    If I upgrade from Firefox 3.6 to firefox 4 Beta on my iMac, will I still have all the same bookmarks, or will I lose them?

    You are using Mac OS 10.4. Firefox 4.0 is not compatible with this OS. It supports only Mac OS 10.5 and above. Please see this article: [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/system-requirements.html Firefox 4 system requirements].

  • Hi. My phone screen broke and I had it replaced from a phone shop. The guy said that while changing the screen and phone was blocked. It is now disabled for like 23,000,000 minutes and I can't restore it cause I dont have all the data sync to my computer.

It is now disabled for like 23,000,000 minutes and I can't restore it cause I dont have all the data sync to my computer. Is there anything I can do or can Apple do something if  I give them the  correct password?

    As you had the iPhone opened by an unauthorised repairer ( Apple do not replace screens on iPhone 4)
    Apple will not provide any service or support
    Take it back to the "phoneShop" and tell them to fix it
    You have no other alternatives

  • Firefox won't open, thought maybe deleted, updated all plugins, still no Firefox so downloaded Firefox, but won't install and message box keeps saying to close Firefox so it can install. HELP!

    Last night my Norton told me to get rid of some of my programs so my computer would run faster. My computer was given to me with many programs already installed, and it is hard to tell from the names of programs what they actually do; but I figured if I could remove, then I could re-install if necessary. I removed a few before my brain was able to scream STOP. I cannot now remember which ones. No doubt this has everything to do with Firefox's "absence." (I do know that I did not remove Firefox itself, but possibly a program that plays a supporting role.) I'm dizzy trying to "fix" this, and if I was not able to LOL, I'd be crying all night! Thanks for any help.

    Do a clean (re)install:
    * Download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] (not in the Firefox program folder) and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • I downloaded FireFox, but can not Run, "Server not found " displayed

    I downloaded Firefox in Safe Mode (can not download in normal mode, it blocked by IE), when I run it , it displays, "Firefox can not find the server at www.mozilla.com"

    contacted my Anti-virus company Tech support, they did not give me an answer. Any solution?
    Greatly appreciate your help!
    C.Y.

    Thanks for the reply.
    We are still not able to figure out the reason, but the problem seems to orignate in the way swing handles repaint() events in JDK version 1.3. (Paint coalescing, see link below...)
    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/guide/awt/enhancements.html#coalescing
    Our application has multiple swing controls. Each control requests data from the model in its paint event. If model does not have the data it in turn opens a http socket connection to the server and gets the data.
    Our guess is that the calls which were previously sequential, are going simultaneously after coalescing was introduced in swing. But it does not explain why it works if client is not on server machine.
    Also, the application does not fail in a consistent manner. In most cases data does not come at all, but sometimes some controls do get the data. (If server and client are running on different machines, controls always get the data.)
    We have ruled out the possibility that the weblogic server is modifying the classpath or any environment variable at startup and resetting them at shutdown.
    We started server on two machines, machine1 and machine2 and opened a client in machine1 which accessed server running on machine2. Everything ran perfectly.
    Any help will be appreciated. We are all ready to handover to QA except for this inexplicible bug :(
    milinddev, can i send you a mail..... ? The posting has your email-address.

  • I have an ipad with the ios7 update, but I forgot my restrictions passcode. And i can't restore because my "find my ipod" is on. But i also can't do anything because i don't have an icloud for this device. What can i do?!!

    I have an ipad with the ios7 update, but I forgot my restrictions passcode.And when I go and click restore I can't restore because the "findmyiphone" is on and I can't do anything about it since i can't get in my ipad. I can't do anything on icloud.com either because I did not put my device on there. What can I do??

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen                         
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • Unable to read hotmail in firefox, but can in IE which I don't like

    When I go to my hotmail account, the messages come up but I am not able to open them or delete them. I can do both in IE but I do not like IE. This seems to happen every few days.
    Also have a problem loading gmail in Firefox but not in IE.

    Hi shearglass, <br>
    this was normal to happen. It's a common practice nowadays not to keep all cookies and deleting firefox cache frequently (I do it all the time..) but also (in order to see what is going on) you can use an addon like <br>
    * [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/cookies-manager-plus/?src=ss Cookies Manager]
    * [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/cookie-monster/ Cookie Monster]
    <br> but it's not necessary!
    Cookies are used by sites to track preferences and store sessions, so if a previous session was already saved it couldn't work with the new password. <br> You could see this article for details: <br>
    [[Fix login issues on websites that require a username and password]]
    <br> You can also set Firefox to keep cookies from sites until you close it, so next time you start Firefox it won't remember your previous logins!
    <br> In this article:<br> [[Enable and disable cookies that websites use to track your preferences]] <br> you will find more details on this!<br> Hope that helped you!

  • I installed java from the apple site and restarted firefox but it still thinks that I don't have java. How to I enable java? I am using lion on a mac.

    I got a message saying I didn't have java installed. I went to the apple site and downloaded JavaForMacOSX10.7.dmg and installed java. but it still says I don't have java installed.

    I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.
