A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Probably is
You need a minimum of 10GB of free space for normal operations
You need to address that first - the best soution may be to get an external drive formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) and drag your iPhoto library to it - depress the option key and launch iPhoto and point to that library
Hopefully that will let you get started - there may be additional repairs needed

Which Mail icon? That in the Applications folder, that in the Dock, or some other? You do not have to quit your applications in order to shut down your computer (heck, you hardly ever need to shut down your computer).

Why does a firefox properties box appear when I click on a desktop icon?

I click on a desktop icon, and instead of going to that application, I get a box that says firefox properties, asking what my target is. If I restart the computer, the desktop works for a short time, and then starts the firefox properties box again.

Hello Helena.
You may be having a problem with some extension or plugin that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?

After restoring from time machine, I get a screen with an apple, my user icon, and sleep, restart, and shut down options. When I click on my user icon, nothing happens.

Any suggestions?

Run through the list of general fixes here, perhaps one or more of them will get things to work again.
Step by Step to fix your Mac
If not you can likely retrieve your files this way, if they are not encrypted,
Create a data recovery, undelete boot drive
then use Step #20 in the above link to reinstall everything and return those files
Think about having alternate backup and restore options to avoid this type of issue.
When TM fails to restore properly, it's a royal mess to fix as you can see.

Most people have no problems with installing firefox as an upgrade, but there are quite a few things that can cause problems. Please have a look at the articles
* [[software Update Failed]] <-- clickable link (blue ) --
* [[firefox will not start]]
* [[firefox does not work]]
Post back after you read them and say what you tried. Have you ensured you used an admin account, possibly needing to check the UAC setting, and that security software is not blocking the changes. You should certainly try starting in firefox's [[safe mode]] either from a menu/icon option or by holding the shift key as you attempt to run firefox.
Is the browser icon you see on the desktop, and a firefox icon ?

I have a new laptop running Windows 8.1. The 10.3.1 version downloaded, but it was incompatible. Then I tried to download Itunes 11.1.5 and it comes up with the box asking me to save. When I click on save...NOTHING happens. AAAAAHHHHH!

I have a new laptop running Windows 8.1. The 10.3.1 version downloaded, but it was incompatible with Windows 8 and 64-bit. Then I tried to download Itunes 11.1.5 and it comes up with the box asking me to save. When I click on save...NOTHING happens. AAAAAHHHHH!!! I even clicked on the download list to see if it is possessed and downloaded somewhere I didn't choose, but that's NOT happening either. Please help me! I have been messing with this and 4 other problems on this laptop for the last 32 hours. I'm getting tired and frustrated. Also, I haven't even put music on THIS Laptop because on my other one, I ended up with at least 5 copies of EACH SONG. Let's see 636 X 5 = 3,180 and they were in EVERY POSSIBLE LOCATION!!!
Thanks for your time,
Laura

See the futher information area of Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for download advice and direct links if required.
See this migrate iTunes library post for advice on moving the library over from a previous computer and this post on deduplication.

How do I access the data saved on my time capsule? for example, if i try to view my photos it tells me that i have 2.4gb of photos and gives me the option to "view with iPhoto"....but when i click on "view with iPhoto" nothing happens... thanks!

how do i access the data stored on my time capsule? for example, if i try to view a photo, i get the option to "view with iphoto" but when i click on "view with iphoto" nothing happens. i'm having similar trouble openning up movies, music, etc. it appears as though the files exist / saved on the time capsule (because i can see how much storage they consume), but i can't open them. thanks!

Unfortunately, Apple removed the feature to "browse backups" in Time Machine backups of iPhoto a few years ago.
You have to restore the entire iPhoto library to a separate location to be able to "see" it, and then choose the specific images that you want use.
For complete details, see #15 in Pondini's excellent support document Time Machine -- FAQ. Check the information in the pink box there.

+Yeah itunes.exe is the process im wondering about ending, wouldn't it be ended if i'v turned my computer of since then?+
Something must be auto-starting itunes, then. For instance MSN messenger, it can have a plug-in to show what's playing in itunes and that could be starting itunes. There are other programs that can do it too - I don't know what's on your PC.
Since this is happening in more than one account, I think you are going to have to go through the pain of using MSCONFIG to troubleshoot this issue.

How do I download a movie to my phone? when I click 'rent' through itunes, I get a message that there is not enough available local storage, but I can manage my local device storage usage in 'Settings'. I have activated icloud, but this has not helped.

How do I download a movie to my iphone 3G? When I click 'rent' in itunes, I get a message that there is not enough available local storage, but I can manage storage on my device in 'Settings'. I have activated icloud, but don't know how to change my storage so that I can rent and watch the movie on my phone. thanks for any help you can give.

I always do my Rentals with the itunes program on the computer.
Make rental from itunes store. It will show in movies under library, DO NOT click to play it. Plug in the device to the computer. Click the name of the device on left. Click on movies. There is an option to copy to the device. Sync. obviously you still need space on ipad to put rental but you can have it take computers hard drive space until you need it.

I rented a movie (dark shadows) but I can not see it, because a message appear "Problem loading...try again later". Is not a problem connection. I tried a lot of times to watch the movie and I didn't can.

The movie costs CHF 7.50.
A phone call to the support team costs CHF 46.-- !!!!!
What do you think I will do?

Steveb79898551 if Photoshop Elements 9 is already installed then what happens when you open it from the Applications folder?
Did you migrate/transfer/copy your installation of Photoshop Elements 9 to this new iMac?

I have 2 libraries in iPhoto 09 but I can only see one in apple tv, the last one I viewed in I iPhoto why ?

iTunes sees what iPhoto sees, iPhoto only sees one library at a time.
Either merge your libraries or upload content from one of your libraries to a service such as Flickr and use the Flickr feature on the Apple TV.
