  • I am unable to use Yahoo chat since updating Firefox. My online contact pops up but when I try to click on it I get a circle with a line through it.

    I have been using Yahoo chat for a few years. It stopped working last week and the only change was that my husband updated to the latest version of Firefox. I was wondering if I could disable that version so that I could resume my Yahoo chat.

    Known issue, See:

    this issue maybe fixed in beta/nightly release

  • I get a Software Update message that says "Update Available" A Security and stability update for Firefox is available: Firefox 8.0.1 ...when I click the link I get a message that Firefox is connecting to the update server but nothing else happens.

    When I click the link Firefox shows a status bar and states that it is connecting to the update server, but the status never changes and nothing seems to be happening.

    Sometimes the updater gets in a funny state - Go to http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/ and download the full installer. Close Firefox and run the installer

    Hello cor-el, thanks for your reply. I changed my settings for downloads to desktop and it has appeared on there. When I double click I am asked which program I want to open file. I click firefox and another box "opening install" says I have chosen to open the file which is an application and do I want to save it. This is the only real option so I press save file. I get a box saying this is an executable file which may contain viruses - do you want to run. I press ok and the final box showing C drive file name and desktop appears stating application not found.
    This happens the same whenever I try to install.
    To my untrained eye the application is not being recognised as an application and I cannot work out how to get it to do that.
    My plugin is still showing as out of date.
    Is there anything you could suggest. Thanks for your time.

    Firefox 3.6.x is the last available from Mozilla for PPC Macs. <br />

    For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4+ versions, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8 . <br />

    Not necessarily. We use a product called Scannerz to test hard drives. They have a book on hard drive troubleshooting that you can download here:
    http://scsc-online.com/Downloads.html
    Scroll to the bottom of the web page and download the Hard Drive Troubleshooting book. You won't want to read the whole thing, just the section describing your problem. Most of the stuff they describe in their "advanced" section requires unit disassembly, and the way that section is written I think they're assuming people know how to take units apart without any instructions - in other words it's not written "for the rest  of us." Most of the resets they describe that you might need can be done by anyone.
    If you end up buying Scannerz, I would NOT recommend Scannerz-Lite, I'd go with Scannerz with FSE-Lite. It costs about $14.00 more but they keep enhancing the product and adding more applications to it, all free if you own Scannerz w/FSE or FSE-Lite. I'd also avoid FSE all together unless you know a fair amount about the operating system, files, processes, Unix type path names, etc. etc.
    If you're lucky that will end up being nothing more than a reset.

  • I have mac os x 10.8 but i cant download firefox 17, i get the firsfox symbol, but with a line through it, how do i download firefox 17?

    first i got a popup that said my current version of firefox had a security problem, so i deleted firefox and tried to download firefox 17.0. it said my mac operating system wont support this download. i got a firefox symbol but with a line through it. i confirmed that i have mac os 10.8, so it should be supported. did i miss something in the process? can anyone help?
    thanks

    Are you using the problem Mac to post this question? Your "more system details" show this User Agent:
    Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_5_8) AppleWebKit/534.50.2 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.0.6 Safari/533.22.3
    ... which is Mac OS X 10.5.8 (Leopard) and the latest version of Firefox (17.0) no longer works on that system.
    Ref: [[Firefox no longer works with Mac OS X 10.5]]
    If you have a computer running Mac OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion) then you should be able to download the Firefox installer from mozilla.org and install it. See [[Install Firefox on Mac]] for detailed Instructions.

  • I updated my computer to the new software and now the iPhoto has a circle with a line through it.  When I try to update, it pops up to say "These apps cannot be accepted by your apple id". Then will say "update unavailable with this apple id" how do i fix

    I updated my computer to the new software and now the iPhoto has a circle with a line through it.  When I first try to open it the pop us says: "You can't use this version of the application "iPhoto" with this version of OS X. Version: 9.2.1"  When I try to update, it pops up to say "These apps cannot be accepted by your apple id - These apps were already assigned to another Apple ID and they will be available in that Apple ID's purchases list.  If you don't have access to that Apple ID and want to receive future updates, you will need to purchase the application".  I checked and there is nothing under the "purchases" in my App store.  Then will say "update unavailable with this apple id - This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or canceled." Then the third pop up says "We could not complete your request. There was an error in the App Store.  Please try again".  Just want to know how do to fix.

    After I upgraded to Mavericks I was also having this message when I tried to update. There was a previous post about this problem which offered this simple solution which worked for me:

    Got it! Thanx.  What I did was go to my account, check that they had my new ID and Password which they did, then hit reset button. All fixed.

    Mac book pro stops responding after Maverick OS restart. Currently have a circle with a line through it after 20+ hours. Tried to shut it down and use the Time Machine to restore but no response. How can I restore with Time Machine if it will not start?

    sonjadg,
    you can purchase a replacement pair of grey installation DVDs for your MacBook Pro from either Apple or iFixit. If Startup Manager is only showing an OS X Installer volume, then it sounds like the Mavericks installer had a problem midway through its installation process. To fix this, you’re going to need to erase your internal disk and reïnstall your original version of OS X from the grey Mac OS X Install DVD, use Software Update  to get it back to 10.6.8 (presuming that your MacBook Pro originally came with Snow Leopard), and then restore from Time Machine.

  • I go to tools then options when I try to open saved passwords it brings up a red circle with a line through it and wont open

    I go to tools and the options and I can't open any of the tabs at the top Eg I go to exceptions and I get a red circle with a line through it.This is the same for all of the options that have exceptions and saved passwords.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • Pages --- picture prints with a line through it

    I copied pictures into a Pages document and everything looks good on the screen. When I print it, a line shows up where an "alignment guide" would be showing guides at object center.
    It is very light but also very noticeable on the paper. When on the screen it only show up when I move the picture around. When moving on the screen it was blue and I changed the alignment guide color to red to confirm that it is the alignment guide.
    I've checked the show guides at center, guides at edges, and had neither guides checked. When moving pictures on the screen these have the expected impact. BUT the light line shows up on the printed page at the center location for all three options.

    A bit more information:
    - The line is sort of colorless. Only on screen when moving about was it blue or red after I changed it.
    - The doc has 3 pictures. The one with the line through it (under my wife's nose) doesn't seem to go on to the picture next to it. Almost as though a power greater than I was tweaking my wife.
    - My last attempt is to have alignment turned off and the third picture is the last to moved. It includes some buildings and signs with horizontal lines. When printed no lines are visible on this third picture. Unfortunately, I now get a couple vague lines, lighter than prints that go this thing going, still in the first picture with the wife and grand kid. Seems like this also takes the printer out of the equation because the lines move.
    This is to be copied as a Christmas letter which will probably make the lines even harder to see, so I'm hoping that it will pass the wife's muster. I'm going to give up for now though will check back to see if any other ideas show up.
    Thanks much for your attention and help!

  • All of my I work programs in iwork won't open and say they are damaged.  Any ideas.  The programs have a white circle with a line through it similar to the ghost busters logo.  Any thoughts?

    All of my iworks programs, pages, keynote, and numbers have a white circle with a line through it, kinda like the Ghost Busters logo.  None of the programs will open and the error messages reads that they are damaged.  How do I repair?

    What you describe is what we get for apps dedicated to PowerPc only when installed on a macintel machine.
    I'm surprised by this behavior for iWork apps which are designed as universal ones.
    How were they installed ?
    Did you used the installer or did you borrowed them from an other machine ?
    If it's case 2, maybe the device used to move the files was not a HFS+ one.
    The only correct way to install iWork is to apply the installer and the late iWork updater.
