I downloaded firefox, now it wont open, and i have tried re-downloading and it wont work, and i have recent windows.

i tried to update, and now it wont open. when i try to re-download, it tells me that i have to shut down firefox, and that its already running so it wont install. when i click the icon to make firefix start, nothing happens. this is true of my desktop shortcut, and also in the start menu.

I had same problem too. Sometimes Firefox cannot start its interface but its task does run. I can try to turn it off by Windows Task Manager (end process firefox.exe) then start Firefox again. Or else remove it and install again. Hope this help

  • I have tried all options given but none worked and since Firefox conducted a security update, I have lost ALL bookmarks!

    I have tried the many different solutions (if not all or at least most) given by Mozilla for retrieving my bookmarks and none of them work. My bookmarks went missing after a security download/update from Firefox. I have many, many bookmarks and I do need the majority of them! What am I to do now? This is very disappointing as I so enjoy Firefox and have used it happily for years. Kindly help me with this situation as I can not even imagine trying to recall and re-bookmark them all. I can't say I would even trust bookmarks anymore. Thank you for your help...I am not a tech wizard but have tried what the site suggested.

    I also have to add that this all happened after Firefox version 28.0 was updated...very disappointed.

  • Hi, I have the iPhone 4, 32GB, version 4.3.5 (8L1) and for some reason when I connect it to the laptop, it starts synchronising but never goes beyond step 1. I have tried evrything, but it does not work and now I cannot update the iPhone s/w. any clue?

    Hi, I have the iPhone 4, 32GB, version 4.3.5 (8L1) and for some reason when I connect it to the laptop, it starts synchronising but never goes beyond step 1. It goes on syncing forever, without actually doing anything. I have tried everything, wiped the phone numerous times, deleted all files from the laptop but still no resolution. As a result, the phone does not really synchronise.
    This started somewhere in May 2011 when I upgraded what proved to be a problematic s/w version and the phone has not recovered since.
    Now I cannot update the iPhone s/w any longer.
    Any clue?

    You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

    My facebook icon dissapeared from my iphone 4s immediately after I updated my face book app. I have tryed everything to restore it but nothing worked and I couldn't even download it again because in the settings it says thats its installed and when try to open it it doesn't respond. Has any one experiebced the same thing or does anyone know any idea how to fix this?
    Thanks.

    try
    Restart iPhone: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for phone to restart.

  • After updating to itunes 10 i now get an error message saying there is a problem with the windows insaller package - I have tried all the suggestions but nothing works for me - have I lost all my itunes forever?

    After updating to itunes 10 I now get an error message that says there is a problem with the windows installer package. I have tried all the things that others suggested but cannot download itunes at all now. Have I lost itunes forever?

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) (not for XP) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

  • I have unlocked my iPhone 3G with Vodafone via iTunes, but now the downloaded apps crash immediately when opened. I've tried a Restore, but this didn't help. I've also tried removing all apps and re-installing them, but they still don't work. Any ideas?

    yep, unfortunately can't reset without the passcode either.
    With regards to doing a restore, do you mean:
    open itunes on my computer
    click on my device on the left
    go to the device summary
    click restore
    it then asks if i want to back up before i restore (to which i say no)
    then it asks me if i'm sure I want to restore to factory settings and that all of me media and data will be erased and replaced with the newest version ( to which I say yes)
    then it takes about 90 mins to do this but when I look at my phone, everything is exactly the same.
    Am I missing something? Obviously I'm technologically challenged, but I HAVE to get to the bottom of this!

  • I am unable to upgrade Firefox. I have tried to download over mine and nothing happens. What to do?

    I only use Firefox and it constantly pops up that I need to download the newer version. When I click on yes, it just sits, even for hours, with the green bar, nothing happening. I turn off the computer, after many hours, boot up again, still no upgrade. I have tried so many times. I have tried several times to start all over and download the Firefox 4 over my version of Firefox, it shows that it is downloading, and when I turn on my my computer again, I get the same pop up message that I need to really need to upgrade to Firefox 3.6 (or whatever it is), so it is not working. What do I do now? I am not a computer genius.

    I can't be any help, just wanted to chime in and say I'm experiencing the exact same issue with an iPad 3.
    It *****, sorry.  I've been going at it for 8+ hours trying to get the issue resolved.
    Are you getting an error message?

  • I have tried to download Mavericks on my 2010 iMac(10.6.8), but nothing happens, not even the install app downloads, also I tried to download chrome, I moved it to the applications folder and when I opened the folder it wasn't there

    I have tried to download Mavericks on my 2010 iMac(10.6.8), but nothing happens, not even the install app downloads, also I tried to download chrome, I moved it to the applications folder and when I opened the folder it wasn't there. I have a 1tb hard drive that is mostly empty. By the way I just got this imac used from a reseller.

    Mavericks downloads into the Applications folder, where you can install it.   Some Mac App Store Troubleshooting information and how to resume a download that was interrupted; some of the information here might get you an answer.   Failing that, try contacting Apple Support.

  • I have tried to download Photoshop Elements 10 three times now and it has crashed every time???

    I have tried to download Photoshop Elements 10 three times now and it has crashed every time.  I checked my settings and the format on my computer is Max OS Extended.  I read that 3 other people were having the same problem.  Did anyone figure out how to fix this or does Photoshop Elements not run on Mac OS X?

    Sfasolo it appears you are installing Photoshop Elements as opposed to downloading Photoshop Elements.  For the error you have described I would recommend reviewing Updated installation instructions | Premiere Elements 10 | Mac OS - http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-elements/kb/updated-installation-instructions-premiere-ele ments.html.

    Had a recent crash on my macbook, was previously using OS 10.6 I think. Restored from recent Time Machine backup and updated to OS 10.8.2 and now I cannot open Logic Pro 9. I get a 'No entry' Icon and a not supported on this type of Mac message. I cannot update either as anything up to 9.1.1 tells me I don't need it yet 9.1.2 tells me I need an eligable Logic Pro Version was not found in applications.
    All of my files are stored in a separate hard drive with only the actual app having been on my Macbook. Should I just reinstall?

    Hi
    To run Mouitain Lion you need to update Logic.
    For the updaters to work the Logic application must be:
    a) Within the Applications folder, and not in any sub-folder
    b) Named "Logic Pro" with no extra numbers or spaces
