I have snow leopard on mac and when I try to download Firefox i get 'not recognised' in the download. Help? Pleas?

Hello,
I have tried to download Firefox onto my Macbook - with snow leopard running system. When I try to open Firefox the message is 'not recognised'. I really want Firefox - please can you help?
Thank you.

It's referring to another application that is running on your PC. Temporarily disable any A/V software you have running on the system and try to restore it again. Make sure you don't have any other software/programs on your PC that could be scanning or interfering with the restore process.

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

Went to upgrade and says OS too old. I went back to older version of foxfire. Now I have a circle with a line through it and when I try to open it I get,You cannot open the application "Firefox" because it is not supported on this architecture.

Firefox 3.6.x is the last available from Mozilla for PPC Macs.

For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4+ versions, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8 .

I don't think this is an iCloud issue- it is the latest release of Safari. Firefox attachments are still correctly downloaded.
This needs some interest from Apple techs.

Hi, are you doing it through Settings or via iTunes? If doing it through Settings, try plugging it in via USB and updating with iTunes. Hope this helps.

Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Application Support" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post. (If you've got XP, although the procedure is for Vista and 7, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things.)

I purchased a song from iTunes and when I try to play it I get a message that the original file cannot be found and asks if I want to try and locate file.

I purchased a song from iTunes and when I try to play it I get a message that the original file cannot be found and asks if I want to try and locate file. I locate the file and it's empty?!

Delete the file, then download again from the iTunes Store, Purchased section (in the Quick Links sidebar).

Mozilla won't open on my Mac, and when I try to download it says it's in use. Any Help?

Thunderbird was listed as an external drive on my Mac. I accidentally clicked the eject button and now it won't open. I tried to find help in the forum but nothing worked. I tried to re install it and it says it's open and it can't install. When I get a new email the box flashes up on my screen, and if i click it it will open the mailboxes page. I would like to open the mailboxes page by clicking the icon on my toolbar, but I can't seem to make it work. I'm fairly new to Mac, and I'm sure that doesn't help. Anyone have some help?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

I have the Huawei S7 tablet running Android 2.1-update 1 and when I try to launch Firefox for Android it returns to the home screen. Anyone else have this problem?

I can install the application although it will not launch. I get the firefox logo before it returns to the application screen. When I check to see if it is running it is not listed.

Thanks for the report. We haven't tested Firefox on this device, and I'm not sure why it is crashing on startup. If you'd like to help us find out more, you can try both the ARMv6 and ARMv7 nightly builds at https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Platforms/Android

How do I erase my hard drive? My initial operating system was Snow Leopard but I have upgraded to Mavericks OS. My Snow Leopard install disk ejects when I try and use it.

Do a backup, preferable 2 separate ones on 2 drives. Boot to the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart or hold down the option/alt key during a restart and select Recovery Volume). Run Disk Utility Verify/Repair and Repair Permissions until you get no errors. Reformat the drive using Disk Utility/Erase Mac OS Extended (Journaled), then click the Option button and select GUID. Then re-install the OS.

When you reboot, use Setup Assistant to restore your data.

Hi.
I had a similar problem myself. This is what helped me.
I went to the App store app, scrolled to the bottom, logged out of the account, re logged in with my Apple ID. Then went back to app updates. Once I put in my ID password all was fine.

I have a MAC and when I try to use Adobe Reader, I get a pop up telling me I need to accept the end user agreement. It instructs me to go the Abobe Reader Installer download , double click and accept the agreement, but there is no agreement. What should

I have a MAC and when I try to use Adobe Reader, I get a pop up telling me to lauch ADobe Reader and accept the end user license agreement, but when I do that, there is no agreement to acknowledge. What should I do?

I have the same problem as Pam101. I am on OS X 10.9 and Safari 7 (actually on 2 iMacs). The one iMac is fine but the other with the same versions and settings Adobe Reader will not work. What happens is the Adobe Reader icon appears on the dock, bounces once and that's it. When trying to open a .pdf file from a website a new tab is opened on Safari, the background is black and there is a pop up message (black test on a white background) that reads: "Adobe PDF Before proceeding you must first launch Adobe Acrobat and accept the End User License Agreement." This is all very well but if Adobe Reader will not launch how on earth is it possible to accept the End User License Agreement terms? Very, very annoying, especially since it all works just fine if I launch a .pdf file from a website using Chrome. What is going on here and who do I talk to in order to fix this problem - Apple or Adobe?

HT1338 I had the geek squad from bestbuy supposedly install iphoto 11 on my mac but it is not there and when i try to download it it say the app has been download by another user on this machine. What do i need to do get get this app on my system?

I had the geek squad from bestbuy supposedly install iphoto 11 on my mac but it is not there and when i try to download it it say the app has been download by another user on this machine. What do i need to do get get this app on my system? If they could not do it right the first time I do not have much faith in their advice.

Assuming you've done a system wide search for it including the Applications folder and it's not there......
I think you will need to address this with them - did you pay them for the application? Or was your purchase price to include it? And the question(s) to ask them:
If the app store states that it has been downloaded, ask them where it is and which Apple ID they used. (the store keeps track of Apple IDs and machine IDs on everything you download).
I have absolutely no faith in their advice; however, in this case, it's not so much technical advice, but an answer to your questions: you paid for something and it appears not to be there.

I have problem in mac store when i try to download app i get note (( app failed to download use the purchases page to try again ))

i try to downlod twitter and ccleaner but i can't open the app ?!?!!!

It can also be an iTunes issue. Many of us, including myself, are not used to the new interface of iTunes 11 and would find ways to downgrade the available iTunes 11 back to iTunes 10.7 in Mac OS Mavericks. The only issue with downgrading (using AppZapper and Pacifist) is that you will not be able to update/install apps from the App Store after rebooting the Mac.
If you happen to have downgraded your iTunes in this method, then uninstall the iTunes 10.7 and reinstall iTunes 11 again - the App Store should resume its download/update function without any issue.
Hope this helps.
