I downloaded Firefox, then when it was done two new apps called Ot Shot and PC Fix Speed appeared, i recently had a blue screen and think i got a virus
I think i may have gotten a virus from downloading firefox
The '''Mozilla.org''' Firefox installer only installs the Firefox program.
Where did you get your Firefox? You should get the program from
'''Mozilla.org'''. If you got it from somewhere else, it may have been hacked.
Try to remove all of those programs using the Win Uninstaller.
====================================================
Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
* [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx Microsoft Safety Scanner]
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]
* [http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit Utility]
* [http://www.surfright.nl/en/hitmanpro/ Hitman Pro]
* [http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner/ ESET Online Scanner]
[http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.
Further information can be found in the [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]] article.

My iPhone 4 froze when I was using the Facebook app. The only thing moving is the indicator at the top spinning to show its "thinking." Its been like this for about an hour, I can't even turn it off. Any ideas (other than letting the battery go dead)?
Thank you, I've tried that but it won't work either, the logo never comes up. It just stays on the FB app screen. I tried connecting to iTunes to see if I can fix something from there and it freezes iTunes. Also tried disconnecting the wifi (I don't know how I thought that would help but worth a try) and plugging it into the charger but still nothing. I think I'll have to visit the store tomorrow. I appreciate it, though!

My download box used to show me the completed downloads ... now it just shows the progress of the download and then goes blank?
It used to retain the completed download title/name and I could click it to open instead of having to go out to my desktop to open the download ...that has not changed it ... I still get a blank download box after the download :(

I tried down loading mozilla firefox to use as a web browser. It was downloaded 100% then when prompted to "run" An error message comes up with a red cross and the message'This file is corrupted" and won't let me proceed. What do I do now?
It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.<br />
You can try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_save_or_download_files -
I have downloaded several books into ibooks. Started reading one and closed it when I was done reading for the day. Now I want to access other books and when I open ibooks it goes directly to that first book. It does not give me the shelf to choose what book I want to read - goes directly to the first book. What can I do? Help please.
There should be a Library button on the top left. If not ap the middle of the screen to get it to appear.

I deleted photos cause the capacity is so big but i backup first on itunes then when i was to restore some of those i cannot find photos from the last backup that i 've done. What to do?
As far as i know, you can use a third party iPad photos recovery software to have a try. If i remember correctly, this software has two methods to restore your photos. One is recovering from your iTunes backup, another is recovering from your iPad directly.

It is worth to try if your photos are important. -
I'm trying to complete the fasfa form on-line. On the home page, it instructs you to click on the 'start here' button in the middle of the page. When I do, it takes me to another page and the header is 'an incompatible browser has been detected' and then provides information to upgrade your browser.
I've already downloaded the latest firefox version when i was prompted to do so a couple of days ago.
So I don't understand why I'm getting the error that my browser is incompatible.http://www.apple.com/osx/how-to-upgrade/
Make sure your Mac can run Mountain Lion.
Your Mac must be one of the following models:
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
If you are running Lion, you can find out if your current Mac qualifies by clicking the Apple icon at the top left of your screen, choosing About This Mac, then clicking More Info.

I followed the steps and it says initializing installer but then when it's done nothing happens..?
Same problem here. Uninstalled old versions CS. Downloaded Creative Cloud Installer. Launched Installer. It said everything was installed (Creative Cloud for Desktop). Tried to launch CC for Desktop : nothing happens.
Then uninstalled CC Desktop, downloaded Installer, installed, launched installer, nothing happens…
So tired of that unefficiency! -
I went to back up my iPhone4 and it said there was an update. So I clicked on 'update and backup' (or something close to that.) It took FOREVER...way longer than usual. When it was done, it showed the power cord w/an arrow to iTunes. ***??? I restarted my computer and tried the whole process again and still...the power cord with an arrow to iTunes. And I know this means I have to go to Apple and get another phone and will lose anything that wasn't backed up. Anyone else have this happen or have a solution so I don't have to do a restore???
Reboot your computer.
Disable your antivirus and firewall.
Connect the phone to a USB port directly on your computer, not to a hub. If your computer is not a laptop and has ports on both front and back use a port on the back.
If iTunes does not recognize the phone when you connect it see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
If it STILL doesn't work open a command window and type:
netsh winsock reset
Then try again. (It seems that a recent Microsoft Windows update may have corrupted network settings; this restores them to the factory default).
BTW, was there an error number associated with the failed update? -
After I did the update it deleted my phone contacts trying to restore but itunes only has memory of last restore yesterday when update was done.smhh
Yes all contacts checked and getting pop up message that says "your contacts, calendars,& bookmarks are being synced with ICloud over the air, so it isn't necessary to synch these items using itunes. icloud sync can be configured using your devices mail, contacts & calendar settings".
I have that setting as referenced above and only contacts showing are the 9 contacts I renetered manually today after losing all 3oo contacts. I then restored my iphone back to orinail and still no contacts. Please help -
After upgrading to Aperture 3 I had to 'upgrade' all files. When this was done, there was an Aperture 3 library and the original Aperture 2 library. Are the two libraries identical and can I safely trash the Aperture 2 library?
If the upgrade completed successfully and you are running Aperture 3 on the converted library and you're sure all the images that were in the old library are in the new library then you could delete the Aperture 2 library.
However I'm the paranoid type and when it comes to deleting images I'm always hesitant. If you can fine a place to archive the old library that would be your a better option.
At a minimum I would keep the old library around for a month or so after switching to Aperture 3 just to make sure in case something pops up.

I was updating my Ipad2 and when it was done it went to the apple logo and wont leave that screen it also will not charge. Ive tried resetting and it turns off for a second then come right back to the Apple screen.

2. Connect USB cable to computer; leave the other end alone
3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
5. Release the Home button
6. Open iTune (make sure you have the newest version of iTune)
7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
8. Use iTune to restore iPad
Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad -

If you try all these Steps and you still have issues... Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step... Be sure to make an appointment first...
