  • I have downloaded the update but Firefox keeps asking me to download the new version, what am I doing wrong?

    I moved it to applications and then to the desk top icon for firefox. When I open Firefox it tells me that I need the new version. Is there a new version everyday?

    The latest version for your os is: Firefox 11 or if you like 3.6.28
    http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html for FF11
    http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html for FF3.6.28
    If you have install one of the above your user agent is corrupted and that identifies you as Firefox/3.6.3
    see your user agent:

  • I am using Firefox 3.6.13 and have installed Windows Media Player 1.0.0.8 for Firefox. However, if I attempt to open a file with a .wmv extension it appears to function properly, except, that I cannot "play" the file. What am I doing wrong?

    You probably have not seen anyone reporting the exact same problem as you. All three crash reports have the same crash signature and as currently ranked 67 it is not the commonest of reasons for a crash.
    I hope you enter your email contact information when reporting crashes. I note you see this crash when using videos, others may possibly see this crash in other circumstances.
    You have already tried the obvious, attempts at a fix so it is now down to wait and see, maybe developers working on the bug will report something or fix it.
    Did you try my suggestion of installing portable ESR ?

    CC and CC2014 are the current versions of Photoshop.  CC stands for Creative Cloud.
    That being cleared up, a respectful request:
    Topic or subject titles should be clear, pertinent and concise so that individual users can tell at a glance if they can help or not.
    That field is not for attempting to fit your entire question in there.

    What do you mean by copy?  I thought the i cloud did that automatically for you.  That's what I don't understand.

  • I've downloaded movies from the iTunes store to my iPad but when I want to play them, I get the message... iTunes Store Terms and Conditions but when I follow the link it still doesn't let me play my movies. What am I doing wrong?

    Easy maybe, but a lot of users are used to playing the movies in iTunes on their computers so that is the first place they turn to on the iPad.
    Enjoy the show!

  • My ipod nano 6th gen. is connected to my MacBook.  I have an audio book on the MacBook in Itunes, and cannot load it into the Ipod.  What am I doing wrong?

    My ipod nano 6th gen. is connected to my MacBook.  I have an audio book on the MacBook in Itunes, and cannot load it into the Ipod.  What am I doing wrong?

    Is this audiobook configured to sync to your iPod via it's Books configuration pane in iTunes?  Click on your iPod's device name under Devices in the left hand pane of iTunes.  This will bring you to the Summary tab.  Look for the Books tab along the top and click on it.

  • Am signed in to Adobe and trying to edit a form.  Can pull up form but it will not allow me to me to edit the form.  What am I doing wrong?

    Am signed in to Adobe and trying to edit a form.  Can pull up form but it will not allow me to edit the form.  What am I doing wrong?

    To elaborate on what Sukrit posted, it is likely that the form is not an Acrobat forum but a Designer form or was set for distribution and is locked for editing. I suspect it was probably created in Designer and thus can only be completed in Acrobat or Reader since the PDF is really container for and XML structure and does not have the basics of a PDF document. If that is the case, you either need Designer or you can print to a new PDF and use the field recognition feature of Acrobat to recreate the form. Of course, the latter will require some editing to the form fields in most cases.

  • I make annotations to my photos in iphoto using preview. But once I have made the annotation I do not get the photo back in iphoto into the event from which I took the photo. What am I doing wrong?

    I make annotations to my photos in iphoto using preview. But once I have made the annotation I do not get the photo back into the event in iphoto from which I took the photo. What am I doing wrong? I am not using aperture

    For the annotations to display on the photo in iPhoto you must setup Preview as the external editor in iPhoto via iPhoto's Advanced preference pane.
    After adding the annotations just do a Save.  iPhoto will then recognize the change via a new modified version.  You can revert to the original at any time if you want to get rid of the text.

  • I have iPad air, screen freezes after FaceTime call and cannot get back to home screen, have to power down and turn back on to get back to home screen.  What am I doing wrong?

    I have iPad air, screen freezes after FaceTime call and cannot get back to home screen, have to power down and turn back on to get back to home screen.  What am I doing wrong?

    Hi RWD2,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    To resolve your issue with Facetime freezing when you end a call, I would try the first three steps in the article below. 
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3281
    Resolution
    If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
    If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
    If you are using Wi-Fi, it may be helpful to try these troubleshooting steps as well:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398?viewlocale=en_US
    Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    Note: This will reset all network settings including previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords

    I hope this information helps ....
    Have a great day!

  • Im trying to convert a PDF into an excel document and I keep getting an error message that reads "An error has occurred while trying to access the service". WHat am I doing wrong?

    Im trying to convert a PDF into an excel document and I keep getting an error message that reads "An error has occurred while trying to access the service". WHat am I doing wrong?

    it seems my subscription had expired so I signed up again.. It was still having trouble so I repeated the sign up process again.. Then it worked perfectly.. Unfortunately, I think I just subscribed twice and need to cancel one of them. Ugh. Such a pain when I'm trying to get this project completed. I'll be canceling at least one of the subscriptions in the morning. Adobe is not my favorite company right now. None of this was intuitive. And trying to get help was an absolute waste of an hour.

  • I can see iMovie in my dock and at the top of the computer but not on the screen.  What am I doing wrong?

    I can see iMovie in my dock and at the top of the computer but not on the screen.  What am I doing wrong?

    Uncheck the box marked Translucent menu bar in the Desktop & Screen Saver preference pane. If that doesn't work, see below.
    My toolbar at the top of my screen is suddenly blackened

  • My preferences are set to 'show informational overlay' but when I scroll through events I do not see the date as I'm supposed to. I only see the date underneath the event. What am i doing wrong?

    I so not see the date as I scroll through my events and I have my preferences set to 'show informational overlay'. They only date I see is below the event. What am I doing wrong?

    Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    Click to view full size
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
