I have OSX 10.5.8 on my powerbookG4, but it won't let me install the new firefox, and my old version has disappeared. Any suggestions

I can't install firefox on mu powerbookG4

Firefox 4 versions and later do not run on a PowerPC Mac and require at least OS X 10.5 and '''an Intel Mac'''.
see [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/9.0.1/system-requirements/ Firefox 9.0.1 System Requirements]
'''The latest supported version for your os is 3.6.25 '''you can download from here:
http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
[http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/3.6/system-requirements/ Firefox 3.6 System Requirements]
For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4+ versions if you like try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8

I have a really old iMac and it won't let me download the new firefox but I still have the old one which works so does that mean that they removed the old iMac from the new firefox?????

My old firefox is version 2.0.0.11 which supports my system.

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

Wont let me install the new version says i havent restarted the computer which i have about 4 times..

Deleted the old version through the control panel.....and went to reinstall the new version and it keeps telling me to restart computer..
I have done this about 4 times but it still wont let me install the new vversion of firefox

This can occur if Firefox can not find the profile folder or the profile folder is locked. Try the options on this page - http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_in_use
Start with the sections on "Remove the profile lock file" and "Check the profile folder name and location"
If you are trying for a completely clean installation with no bookmarks or passwords, you can completely remove the profile folder as shown in the "Removing user profile data" section of this page - http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox

HELP! My old mac was requested to upgrade Firefox to 14.0.1. After the sucessfully installation, I received a message saying my old Mac couldn't use the new Firefox and Safari crashes. I have NO browser now!!!

Hmmm... So you upgraded Firefox and now neither Firefox or Safari will work? Very weird. I have no idea what might have gone wrong. That said, when things start acting wierd, I always try a bit of maintenance first. About 95% of the time, I luck out and it works.
I use the free program Onyx. I run all the clean up routines. Then I boot to the recovery partition (Lion) or the OS X Install Disc and repair permissions and verify/repair the hard disk.
Hope this helps.

I imagine a ton of people are attempting to download it right now. Simple patience, maybe keep trying, and if possible, try a little later. Think of it as all those people lining up at Apple Stores + about a million more.

I have a new computer and my old drive has my UNSAVED bookmarks on it and I want to import them, how do I do it when the bookmarks are not SAVED?

You can backup the bookmarks on the old computer and create a JSON or HTML backup and restore or import this file in the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks).
You can use an USB stick to transfer the saved bookmarks file to the new computer.<br />
You can also copy the places.sqlite file from that computer to have the bookmarks and the history.

I just installed the new firefox for Mac OSX 10.6.8 and when I select an image on a site (right click and copy) and paste in Photoshop 5.5, the image lightens. It does not do this in Safari.

Firefox, Safari, and PhotoShop each handle embedded color profiles differently. For an add-on that makes it easier to experiment with Firefox's color management options, you might be interested in: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/color-management/ Color Management :: Add-ons for Firefox]. I haven't tried it myself.

Wonder if anyone can help? Have just bought a new Macbook pro and installed FCP7. I thought that I would get quicktime pro as standard but stuck with QTX. Downloaded QT7 but it won't let me install it. Says I can't do install as I already have QTX. Does FCP not come with QTpro or am I jsut being stupid. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks. B

I have just uploaded the new software and a strange app has appeared on my home screen ( a grey target, panorama thing without the man) there is no title under it and I can't seem to delete it. What is it? Do I need it? How do I delete it?

I have a Netgear NAS which uses Stora software. Mavericsks will not let me install the software as it is not from an approved developer. Is there any way around this?

I have a Netgear NAS which uses Stora software. Mavericks will not let me install the software as it is not from an approved developer. Is there any way around this?

There is, but why do you need the s/w installed? The NAS should have a web admin interface, accessible via ip address (http://<ip address>) which should allow all the needed configuration that is required for it to work with machines running os x.
Try to install as little s/w as you need to do something in Mavericks or any OS as it is usually the cause of future issues or problems.
If you're intent on installing the s/w, go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General and If you have tried to run it before, it should be listed there. You can then "un-block" it should you wish.

Have old MacBook Pro running tiger 10.4 want to save date to external hard drive and buy newer MacBook and still use same drive. Any suggestions, most WD drives say nothing about os tiger 10.4.

Have old MacBook Pro running tiger 10.4 want to save date to external hard drive and buy newer MacBook and still use same drive. Any suggestions, most WD drives say nothing about os tiger 10.4. The OS compatibility is much newer on the data. Totally confused. Not a computer person.

I haven't checked reviews recently but there's a difference between bare drives and drives with enclosures. Western Digital made some of the most reliable drives last time I checked, though the enclosures weren't all that great. It is convenient to get both in one package but I usually buy a highly rated enclosure and then put a highly rated drive in it myself. OWC sells some good enclosures but if they put a so-so drive inside of it then the package is only as good as its weakest component. If you get a package from them, ask them what drive is inside (some vendors have no idea what's inside - went to an Apple Store recently and they couldn't tell me what was inside some of their Apple brand enclosures). My first thought if buying a new drive would be to buy a OWC enclosure with a WD drive, but chek around because I may be out of date.
10 years ago Seagate was one of the best drives. Now they rate poorly in reviews.

I have LavVIEW 8.6 full version installed. I tried to upgrade to 8.6 professional version by just installing the new disks, and it didn't upgrade. Do I have to un-install, or is there a trick ?

I have LavVIEW 8.6 full version installed. I tried to upgrade to 8.6 professional version by just installing the new disks, and it didn't perform the upgrade. Do I have to un-install first and re-install, or is there a trick ?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Look into the License Manager in the National Instruments folder of your Start menu. It is probably just a matter of activating LabVIEW 8.6 and possibly some other features with your new license code instead of your previous full version license code.

I have tried to install the new update and...

I have tried to install the new update and i have lost everything on my phone and just asks to plug into itunes. I have finally downloaded the new update and I now have nothing on my phone no apps no nothing even tho it was restored from the back up i did yesterday? Any ideas how to resolve this without downloading everything again. I have the Iphone 4s 64GB which was full (so a LOT on there)

What were you backing up to? Your computer or iCloud? All of your apps and media should already be in the iTunes library on your computer. You should just be able to re-sync them if all else fails.
