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

  • At App Store I see that Facebook needs updating. However, when I click on "update" the blue circle appears but nothing else happens.

    At App Store I see that Facebook needs updating. However, when I click on "update" the blue circle appears but nothing else happens.

    The blue circle should go around, clockwise, as a fine line, and then as a heavy line indicating it is downloading.  Then it sits while the install takes place.  It may sit and wait to start the download if the internet connection is slow.

  • My apple tv stopped working. When I hit a button on the remote I see the signal gets to the Apple TV because the little light flicks but nothing else happens. Anyone know how to fix this??

    My Apple TV suddenly stopped working. When I hit a button on the remote the light on the apple tv flickers but nothing else happens. Anyone know how I can fix this?

    I had the same problem; Apple TV was working proper then for no reason I got the continuous blinking front LED.  The Apple TV has no sound or video output at all.  I tried reseting the Apple TV via my Apple remote controller but that didn't do anything for me.  I finally called Apple and they told me that the way to fix my box is to reset the Apple TV to factory default.  So I had to attach the Apple TV to one of my Apple computers and launch iTunes.  Once iTunes was running it recognized my Apple TV and I clicked on the option to restore to factory default.  After the restore my Apple TV now works properly.  My final action on the Apple TV was to sign into my account and enter my password.

  • I have a nano 4th generation 8gb i have tried resetting it, i get the apple logo come up but nothing else happens.  It will work in my docking station  but as soon as i take it out it will not respond.  any ideas, do i need a new battery?

    It definitely sounds like your Nano needs a new battery at this point.  You can have Apple replace it for a flat fee, send it into a third party service center to be replaced for much less, or you can purchase a new battery online and swap it out yourself if you feel up to it.

  • I need to restore my ipad.  Itunes states that its waiting on my ipad, but nothing else happens.  What should I do?

    I was syncing my ipad yesterday and everything froze up.  Now it tells me I need to restore the ipad.  When I try restoring, itunes says its waiting on the ipad, but nothing else happens.  What should I do?

    Perform a Reset...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

  • I cannot open itunes on my mac.  The Icon jumps, but nothing else happens.

    I may have shut my computer off while a new version of Itunes was downloading.  Not sure if this would affect it, but I can't open it now.  When I click on the icon, it jumps a little, but nothing else happens! Any ideas?? Help! I can still open it on my iphone. 

    Boot from your Snow Leopard install DVD, run Disk Utility and run Disk First Aid.
    Reboot.
    Then Apple menu > Software Update.
    Then reinstall iTunes.

    Try downloading something from the iTunes Store on the iPad and see if that solve the password problem.

    not sure what to do, any suggestions?

    not sure about this number i live in the uk, and besides the ipad mini im buying is for my girlfried and shes in the house so i cant really call anyone about it, i was more so hoping that someone else had this problem and knew how to olve it or something, you see the engraving is in irish and i was able to do the first line correctly but the change i want to make is in adding to the second line... however as ive said nothing happens but the buttons (save changes and cancel) just fade slightly... other than that the page does not do anything else... i really need this to be edited asap because im not sure how much of a window i have to do it and i sur eyou can understand my concerns of correcting the situation over the phone when its in irish and has a very specific spelling with faddas etc.
    thanks for your help though!

  • The defaut correction tool doesn't work on my LR5 on my mac. I clic , the second circle appear but nothing else happens

    Hi

    when i want to use the defat correction tool , i open the tool , i choose "correction" and then i clic on the defaut
    a second circle appears but nothing else happens . No correction
    do i miss something???
    Thanx

    It's sounds like you're using the Spot Removal tool. What happens depends on the Feather and Opacity controls. If the Opacity is at 0, you won't see any change. 100 will give the full healing or cloning, while feather controls the size of the edge of the healing.

    Anytime I open Firefox I get the following message: It is strongly recommended that you apply this update as soon as possible. When I try to do it, it is showing that it is trying to connect to the update server but nothing is happening

    If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 7.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version.
    * Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    * 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 Firefox Profile 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.

  • When downloading, I am never connected to the update server. It will say it is connecting, but nothing else happens.

    I will get a pop-up message that I need to update Firefox. I click the button, and it says it is 'connecting to the update server'. It never connects, because nothing else happens. Even after an hour or two, it is still 'connecting to the update server'. If it matters, I am on a Mac.

    If you have 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.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
    * Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

  • The bookmark feature has stopped working, I can only bookmark my homepage (google search) but nothing else.

    Firefox is simply unresponsive when I try to save a page as a bookmark, I have tried clicking the star in the URL bar, using ctrl-D, right clicking on the page, and saving from the bookmarks tab. None of these options do anything at all.
    I have tried turning off different add ons but have not had any success. The only time I can get it to save a bookmark is if I bookmark my homepage, then it will save that, but nothing else.

    This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • When I turn it on the apple appears but nothing else happens??

    I have Ipod touch when I turn it on the apple appears but nothing else goes on help??

    What happens if you try a hard reset?  To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    If its still stuck at the Apple logo, try connecting it to your iTunes library in recovery mode and restoring it.

  • Theres something wrong with my mac! Help! It said that it had a virus and then the browser wouldn't open! I tried to restart my computer but it wouldn't work, so I held down the power buttron. The startup screen is there but nothing else happens'!

    So yesterday I went to do some work on my laptop.
    My laptop is from about 2005-2006 so it's pretty knackered. Everything was going just fine but then my Avast! Security software notified me saying "VIRUS DETECTED" so I tried to go on the avast application but it wouldn't open. I tried to open my browser but the icon just bounced and stopped and them nothing happened after! So i clicked on the apple sign and clicked shut down.  Then the system wouldn't shut down. So i held down the power button causing it to shut itself off. The next day I opened the laptop and turned it on. It made the healthy turning on noise and I can hear the fan working perfectly fine. The startup screen is showing. This is an all grey screen with the Apple logo in the middle and a spinning circle in the middle, the circle has been spinning for over 10 minutes now and I do not know what to do. I use this laptop for literally everything and I cannot possibly afford to replace this . I am hearbroken as I know that there is a possibility that I will no longer be able to use this laptop.
    I would be extremely grateful if someone helped me as I am truly devastated. :(
    HELP PLEASE
