I have OS 10.8 and my firefox won't update. Says my system is unsupported.

I have been unable to update my firefox for ages. When I click to update, it just shows a never ending update. I am running an extremely old version (5.0.1) because when I try to install something newer, I get a not compatible message. My operating system although old, shows on the mozilla site as still being supported. Don't know what to do. I've tried suggestions written in this forum, but none work.

Make sure, your using MAX OS X 10.8, your SYSTEM Details show your running MAC OS X 10.5
You need MAC OS X 10.6 atleast to run the latest version of FIREFOX

If your Running MAC OS X 10.8, Download the firefox and install it freshly

Firefox won't update on my system, even with firewall & antivirus switched off - help ?

OS : Windows 7 - 64bit, with antivirus (Bitdefender).
Downloaded update from you website (version 25.01), switched off Windows firewall, bitdefender firewall & antivirus. Run 25.01.exe - it partly updates (3/4 green bar), then bombs out.
Firefox version currently running on my system is 22.
If I try to update from your pull-down meny "Help" then "about Firefox", after downloading the update, get message that I need to restart Firefox to finalise update, but the process also gets blocked.
Opening Firefox, I'm still on version 22
Hope you can point out how I can overcome this ?
Thank you for your support - love your product !!

Hello,
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
Please report back to see if this helped you!
Thank you.

Have a read of the rather complicated article

* and for anyone with firefox crashing before you can key in about:crashes see: <br/> http://kb.mozillazine.org/Breakpad#Location_of_crash_reports
I note you have found bp-54df2ba6-de52-405d-9ccc-4dd272110924 have you any other recent crash signatures or crash IDs, the one you provide seems rather uncommon [https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/list?product=Firefox&query_search=signature&query_type=exact&query=karasx2.dll%400x2535&reason_type=contains&date=09%2F24%2F2011%2001%3A44%3A07&range_value=1&range_unit=weeks&hang_type=any&process_type=any&do_query=1&signature=karasx2.dll%400x2535 [karasx2.dll%400x2535]]
Do you still get the problem in [[safe mode]] and with default themes, and all plugins disabled. Note common causes of crashes are malware, and versions of the software IDvault. (do you use IDvault ? - often provided by Comcast)

I have firefox16.0 and would like to update to the most recent version (19). But my Firefox won't update

Hi there
I've got windows vista on my computer, and am using Firefox 16.0. Have been for a while now, ever since it was installed a year ago or so.
The thing is, Firefox won't update to the latest version (currently version 19 I believe), neither automatically or manually. I've tried everything, including using the "help" function. The window only says it's Firefox 16.0, but when I click on "update", the page just refresh and that's it, nothing else happens. I've checked all other settings, and it looks like all the right boxes are ticked, including "update Firefox automatically".
Coming to think about it, on my wife's computer, we are always told about new updates for Firefox. On this one, no update alert of any sorts since it was installed a while ago (and again, all the right boxes being ticked)
Please can anybody help? Should i reinstall Firefox altogether?
Thanks for your help
Frankie

I have an iPod 4s and I am trying to update to IOS 6.1.6. I keep trying to download but it will not allow me to click download and install. I have checked my storage and I have more than enough storage space available. Do you guys have any suggestions?

The only available, signed, iOS, for your iPod, is iOS 7.1. That's why you can't install iOS 6.1.6.

I have changed my ID and I can no longer update my apps or see my purchases. I have changed my ID in the store settings.

I have changed my ID and I can no longer update my apps or see my purchases. I have changed my ID in the store settings.

I have been told by Apple security that the ID does not exist it is now associated with my new ID, they told me to call support there is a pending case but they can not seem to provide an answer. If I log in in with my original ID. It does not recogonise my passwords or any answers I give to the security questions Grrrrrr I wished I never changed my ID!!!

I have an older mac and it wants me to update to itunes 10 but my mac is too old and I cant figure out how to disable the update

I have an older mac and it wants me to update to itunes 10 but my mac is too old and I cant figure out how to disable the update so I can use the store.

If Software Update is offering the update then it would be compatible with your model. Unfortunately, you haven't provided us with any information on your hardware that would enable us to determine if it really is too old.
If you really wish to disable the update alert then the next time Software Update opens, select the update in the list then select "Ignore update" from SU's Update menu.

I have a Iphone 4 and after the last software update iOS.0.4, my phone is no longer connecting to the wifi at my house.

I have a Iphone 4 and after the last software update iOS.0.4, my phone is no longer connecting to the wifi at my house.
My MacBook Air is connected and my roommates phones are also connected, but my iphone that always was connected to the same network is no longer connecting to the wifi.
The network is shown on the device but I can't join it.
Whats going on? Does someone know how to solve this issue?
Thank you!

Problem persisted after fixes were done so wife called apple today. Their fix is to turn cellular off when in the house and turn it back on when she leaves- the 4 doesn't keep the password so she has to enter the password too... This wasn't a fix ...it's just resolving the connection problem... They also said that they made ios6 have security features so nobody can hack into the wifi without having the password and it has to be entered to use the wifi. My 5 and the iPads stay on with no problems. It's just the 4. So far so good...she's had wifi all day when home. It's inconvenient but it's either completely reboot it with iTunes (which doesn't work for her) or buy a new phone and she won't do that either.
So...Apple is saying that she didn't have to do the updates either and could've stayed with the previous iOS but !!!too late now!!! We've updated because we think our phones will run better but the ios6 just made it a pita for users
I wonder if the hackers of the world are having as many issues as the peeps who are just trying to use their wifi??

I have an iBook G4 and iTunes is no longer updating. The last update is 9.2.1 but it doesn't support my iPhone or iPad. Is there anything I can do to update iTunes or is my only recourse to update my laptop?

As Niel has suggested Mac OS X 10.5 Lepaord.
But first of all make sure that your iBook is above 800Mhz and you have at least 512 Meg of memory. (1 GB recommended)
Please note, that if you do install Mac OS X 10.5 on your iBook, it will not allow you to install the latest version of iTunes version 11. The most recent version of iTunes that can be installed would be 10.5, which will be compatible with your iPod touch 4th gen, provided it's not been updated to iOS 6.
Sadly you can't install any version of Mac OS X above 10.5 Leopard, as it they requires an Intel processor, which your iBook G4 does not have.
Hope this helps.

I have a different iPhone, and now it won't sync with my iTunes.

I have a different iPhone, and now it won't sync with my iTunes.

I had an iPhone 3GS, but my husband had a newer one, so he gave me his when he upgraded to the iPhone4. When we uploaded everything, it took it all except my music. Now when I try to download my music from iTunes, it will not sync with it.
No error messages
It pops up the box where it asks if you want to view folders, download your pics, etc. There is nothing in the box about music (iTunes).
I have rebooted my phone and computer. Downloaded the lastest version of iTunes, Deauthorized and reauthorized the phone. Not sure what to do now.

Do you use McAfee Antivirus/Firewall/Security products? McAfee released a security update that is blocking Firefox 3.6.11. This should be cleared up with the next McAfee update.

1. First step to solving the Problem: Trash MacKeeper. It's a pile of trash that does far more harm to your computer than good.

2. What version of iPhoto do you have? (iPhoto Menu -> About iPhoto)

I don't think that a software update from Apple will solve the issues that you are having. You have a rogue installation. After you posted I have just done the following:
Disk Utility can verify my partitioned Volume (including my boot disk) AND REPAIR the non-boot disks on the same Volume without a glitch. It repairs the non-boot disks containing data smoothly.
I have used Mail to send some mails from some Yahoo and Hotmail accounts to my Thunderbird client containing GMail accounts - absolutely normal.
I have iLife '09 but my iMovie '09 and iPhoto '09 open in a jiffy and I see no issues here. I have 6GB RAM (Maximum) on an early 2008 Macbook Pro with a 750GB hard drive partitioned with 120GB reserved for the Boot Drive.
I am sorry that I cannot help further but I am sure there must be a way to reinstall the software without having to revert to restoring your ML backup. I have two clones and if you have such I would attempt to do that through that rather than through Time Machine - that is of course if you have a cloned drive.
Good luck!
