I downloaded the new Firefox and deleted the old version. It seems my Mac 10.4.11 is too old and it won't work, nor do I have the old version. Help!

I now have no access to the Internet to download an older version of firefox

Sorry about that. For a more modern version of Firefox on MacOS 10.4, especially on the PowerPC processor, you might want consider a third party build that is optimized for your platform: http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
As a Windows user, I haven't tried it myself.
Note: You should be able to get to that site using Safari.

JUST WON'T WORK...I HAVE THE SOLUTION!!

I posted on this forum yesterday with a problem it seems that a lot of you are having. I did everything. But then I thought I did. Go to the following page of the apple support: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61771 then click on the link that says 'force ipod into disk mode' in the solution section. Follow the instructions on this page, the pictures helped, this page shows you a picture of what buttons to press simultaneously on your ipod to put it into disk mode. I previously got nothing on my ipod until i did this. Follow the rest of the instructions by clicking the previous on your browser and then clicking on the link that says 'restore your ipod' in the solution section. Follow these instructions, you will end up having to open itunes attaching the ipod to your computer, then click the restore button on itunes and actually erase everything on the disk. after following the instructions the ipod had to be renamed like when you first got it and then all the songs had to be put back on. This took me about 2 hours as i had about 1300 songs. So far so good. Hope this helps! I haven't tested it but it is a lot better than being a dead ipod.

When I am at home I've so far always been able to cure this by plugging in my external monitor and then hitting Fn-F7 twice.
Plugging in shows that while my laptop shows nothing on its LCD it is showing content on the monitor.
Once the external screen is plugged in the Mac is happy to take Fn-F7 to switch from the external screen and back to the LCD.
This seems to be related to Detect Displays, an icon for which can be left on the Mac's top line status screen.
MacBook Pro display issue related to "hot-plugging" - Article: 305607 - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305607
Now, none of this is new, and in particular it doesn't help me when this issue is most likely to affect me: when I am away from home.
I've taken to carrying an DVI to VGA adapter with me. Sometimes plugging that in helps, but more often than not it does not. It seems to realise that there is not a monitor at the VGA end of the adapter.
So, I wonder, *is the Mac is smart enough to switch to an external monitor when present, can it be fooled into thinking that there's an S-Video sink?*
Apple sell their:
{quote:title=Apple DVI to Video Adapter}
Use the DVI to Video Adapter to connect the DVI port on a Mac Pro (with ATI X1900 XT), MacBook Pro, or Mac mini to any S-video or Composite enabled device.

{quote}
I wonder - while the Mac can see a VGA monitor, surely it can't tell whether there really is a s-video sink? If it can't tell mustn't it obey the Fn-F7 key when this adapter is plugged in?
Just thinking out loud. Maybe someone can try it?

Need to Resume download to complete the ongoing Process.
Last Resort, put the iPhone in DFU mode (Google How to do that). Connect in iTunes. Follow on-screen prompts to Restore. All Data would be lost, if not backed up earlier.
To save the photographs you may have to use third party software. Google is your friend.

Installed Microsoft updates yesterday & today I click on Firefox and it does not load. If I go to download a new Firefox, it tells me to close existing Firefox before the download. I can't see Firefox open anywhere.

Firefox will not load and I cannot download a new Firefox because it says I have to close the existing one. I cannot find the existing one open anywhere. Also, when I went to download I got a warning that the new Firefox might damage my computer.

The procedures in the [[Firefox will not start]] article may help, in particular it sounds like this error [[Firefox is already running but is not responding]]

The green forward and back arrows under File and Edit disappeared after I downloaded the new Firefox Toolbar. How do get them back?

The green arrows for page forward or back at the top left under File and Edit disappeared after I downloaded the new Firefox toolbar (for 3.6) and were replaced by Most Visited, Getting Started and Latest headlines Icons, which I have little use for. How do I get the Original Toolbar back?

Is the Navigation Toolbar not being displayed? See below.
'''Can't see the Menu Bar''' (File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, Help)?
Turning the Menu Bar on and off is a new feature in version 3.6.
''(~~red:Linux & OSX see~~: [[Menu bar is missing]] )''
''Windows'' Method 1. '''''Hold down''''' the key and press the following letters in this exact order: V T M then release the key
''Windows'' Method 2. Tap the F10 key, while the Menu bar is visible, choose "View > Toolbars", click "Menu Bar" so that a check mark is placed next to Menu Bar
''Windows'' Method 3. Tap and release the key. The Menu Bar will be displayed; then choose ~~red:V~~iew > ~~red:T~~oolbars and click on ~~red:M~~enu Bar so that a check mark is placed next to Menu Bar
The Menu Bar should now be displayed permanently, unless you turn it off again using View > Toolbars. Check mark = displayed, NO check mark = not displayed.

I downloaded the new Firefox but it constantly freezes, doing absolutely nothing, and I can't even close it from my Mac dock bar, I have to turn off my laptop using the power button as Firefox won't let me shut down. What can I do?

Hi
I recently downloaded the new Firefox (Firefox 4, I think - you can tell I'm very tech savvy!) and it constantly freezes, I can't do anything with it at all - I can't even close it from the icon in my Mac dock bar.
I have tried restarting my computer - though I have to turn it off by using the power button as as Firefox is open and totally unresponsive it won't let me shut down. About a minute after re-starting Firefox, restoring my tabs or starting afresh, it freezes again.
This is obviously very annoying and I'm not sure what I can do about it. Firefox is my preferred browser, and I'd really like to be able to use it again!

This is not a reply. I just want to elaborate on this problem.
My computer freezes occasionally when it is used after being sleep for a while. The spinning ball appears and everything is totally disabled. Nothing on the keyboard works.
The mouse moves, but does not work.
The only solution is to turn the power off and on (losing all data in open applications.)
I kept the System monitor running on the side to find out which program was running when the computer froze. The Monitor as well as all other applications froze, but the data showed:
Firefox 18.4%
Activity Monitor 0.9%
Firefox Plugin 0.2%
This is all the information I have. By the way, I am using iMac with OS 10.6.

HELP! My old mac was requested to upgrade Firefox to 14.0.1. After the sucessfully installation, I received a message saying my old Mac couldn't use the new Firefox and Safari crashes. I have NO browser now!!!

My old mac was requested to upgrade Firefox to 14.0.1. After the sucessfully installation, I received a message saying my old Mac couldn't use the new Firefox and Safari crashes. I have NO browser now! Any help would be appreciated.

Hmmm... So you upgraded Firefox and now neither Firefox or Safari will work? Very weird. I have no idea what might have gone wrong. That said, when things start acting wierd, I always try a bit of maintenance first. About 95% of the time, I luck out and it works.
I use the free program Onyx. I run all the clean up routines. Then I boot to the recovery partition (Lion) or the OS X Install Disc and repair permissions and verify/repair the hard disk.
Hope this helps.

Once I downloaded the new IOS 5.0 I've lost all of my photos that were stored on my PC, and I no longer have access to them on the IPOD. Cannot figure out what has happened. Please help.

Thanks lllaass, but I am not computer literate and do not understand exactly what it is I am supposed to do. All of my photos were stored on Microsoft Windows Live Photo Gallery. When I now access the gallery the only thing that is there are the folders with the title of the folders. The pictures that were in those folders are now gone. I can no longer access them on my IPOD either. My photo library on my IPOD is now empty.
Thanks again for your help.

When I downloaded the new Firefox about a week or two ago all my bookmarks, and add-ons disappeared and I want you to give them back to me asap?

When I downloaded the new Firefox about a week or two ago all my bookmarks, and add-ons disappeared and I want you to give them back to me asap?

You shouldn't wait that long to ask advice. Firefox only keeps a (rotating) backup of bookmarks for the last 5 days that you started Firefox. So you may be out of luck.
You can check that you still use your old default profile that had your bookmarks.

Just downloaded Firefox 4. Running Windows XP. Some of the new features are mising such as the new "Firefox Button" and the new location for the bookmarks button. The look is almost like Firefox 3. Why is this happening?

Hi. I just downloaded Firefox 4. Some of the new features are missing such as the new "Firefox Button" and the new location for the bookmarks button. It almost looks just like Firefox 3. I am using Windows XP on this desktop computer. On my laptop, running Windows Vista, Firefox 4 has all the updates advertised. Why is this happening? How do I fix?
Thanks
Jamie

Thanks so much!

I just downloaded the new Firefox 4, rebooted, and viewed you videos re the new look and new features. Problem is, my toolbars look no different than before. The new icons you talk about do not appear on my screen. Please advise. Thank you.

The Firefox icon is the default feature for Windows Vista and 7 only, it does not apply to Windows XP users.
To have the Firefox icon instead of the Menu Bar:
View > Toolbars and UNCHECK the Menu Bar.
After that, click on the Firefox icon and you'll have the Menu Bar appear again.

Only one track is downloaded per album on itunes on my iphone 5. Every time I download a new track it deletes the previously downloaded track on that album. Why is this happening and how can I switch it off?

Most YouTube content requires the Flash plugin. Sometimes it's necessary to uninstall then reinstall that plugin.
Uninstall the Flash plugin then reinstall new > Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
Very important to uninstall the currently installed plugin first.
Now launch Safari and try a video.
If you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
And check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to: Open in 32 bit mode is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari.
You may also need to delete the cache associated with Safari .
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy/paste: ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari
Click Go the move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari. Try a video.

It was telling you that you needed Mac OS 10.6.8 or later, not itunes 10.6.8
Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
