I have tried downloading firefox but the icon now has a 'no entry' sign over the firefox icon and it won't open. whats wrong!!!

I have been using firefox and was recently prompted to upgrade to a new firefox. I followed the instructions and dragged the icon into my apps folder. It had a 'no entry' sign on top of it which I didn't really understand. Now it won't start up and gives me a message saying 'You cannot open the application “Firefox” because it is not supported on this architecture'.
Can you help?

Firefox 4 versions and later do not run on a PowerPC Mac.<br />
Firefox 4 and later require at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.

For an unofficial Firefox 8 compatible version (TenFourFox) that runs on PowerPC Macs with OS X 10.4.11 or OS X 10.5.8 you can look at:

Firefox 3.6.x (Mac OS X 10.4 and later) can be found here:

    That is almost always because the phone was hacked to unlock it from the original carrier.

  • Why have the iworks icons developed a white no entry sign over them?

    The three iwork application icons have got white no entry signs over them, the applications all open OK.  What is going on?

    I would do a search on your Mac for any orphaned files left by this application, and delete any files found,  especially  .plist files.
    Then run the two main disk repair routines:
    1 - Applications Disc Utility >   repair permissions
    2 - shut down your Mac and restart with the shift key pressed until the grey screen appears
    the Mac will start to repair let it do this, it can take 5 to 20 mins
    when the desktop appears reboot

  • My Apps icon in the dock now has a little red '1' in the upper right.  Why?

    I've clicked on the icon in the dock expecting to see why I have this alert, but nothing is obvious.  It's like the email alert you get with Apple Mail.

    Good morning, QuickAgPG,
    I took a look at the site this morning.   There are some good omens.
    It appears that a Snow Leopard compatible version of the Solitaire game will soon be available, if that is the one you are unhappy about.  
    If it is other than Solitaire, the owner is an ex Apple man and one would have thought, more sympathetic to Apple clients.   When you approached them on their site, what did they say?
    One last point.   If this is the Full Deck Solitaire it looks to be a free app from the App Store though I can't find a price if bought direct.
    The choice would appear to be ... wait for the Snow Leopard update they write about or buy the new version direct.  If the latter you will first have to remove the original app from your computer.   App Cleaner will do that job.
    Incidentally, I see you have a second thread elsewhere; not the best policy as it causes confusion.

  • I've connected my external monitor (LG) to my new Macbook Pro 15" laptop, using the adaptor for VGA...the display now has a large black bar along the left side.  No adjustment on the monitor will fix it, no "options" on System Prefs either...any ideas?

    I've just purchased a new Macbook Pro, and connected it ot my external monitor (24" LG HD) using an Apple VGA adaptor.  The only resolution that looks good is the 1920 x 1080, but the image does not entirely fill the screen.  There is a large black gap on the left side of the screen now.  It worked fine with my "last generation" Macbook Pro...no adjustment on the monitor will help, and cannot find any System Setting in displays such as "options" or widescreen setting.  I've gone to the LG site, but no "Mac" related tech support issues come up...no forum here seems to deal with this particular issue either...any ideas?

    I have the same thing but with a 23 inch HP, worked fine with my MBP 13 from 2009 but the 2011 2.4 i5 does the exact same thing as yours!
    Very confused and hoping that some one else can help.
    Thanks

  • Firefox will no longer open on my Mac. I have tried downloading the new 7.0 but it does not prompt movement to the application folder. How to I make it work?

    I have tried multiple times to update the firefox7.0. It appears to download fine but I never get a prompt to move it to the applications folder. Now Firefox will not open at all (it was functioning sporatically over the past several months). How to fix?

    AFAIK cameras offer their own built-in format utility for inserted SD cards.  You should use that.  Otherwise, refer to the manual that came with your camera to determine precisely how your SD cards need to be formatted to work properly.  Personally, I'd suggest Partition Scheme: MBR, and Filesystem: FAT32.
    Try to limit the number of formats you perform on the SD cards, though, as you're reducing their lifespan.  I believe formatting causes re-writes to a portion of the SD card that has fewer read/write cycles than the rest of the card as a whole.

  • I downloaded iOS8 on my iPod 5th generation the other day and its been completely fine and now all of a sudden my iPod has turned off and it won't turn back on, i have tried charging it but nothing is coming up, what should i do?

    the other day when iOS8 came out i downloaded it onto my 5th generation iPod, it has been working perfectly fine since, now today when i left it for a couple of hours, it turned itself off and now it won't turn back on. i have tried charging it but nothing is happening. it's not out of charge because the little battery usually comes up when its charging, but the screen is completely black and nothing is happening. i have tried turning it on by both buttons and it won't work. i don't know whats wrong with it. i haven't topped it or anything, so I'm assuming its the new download as it seems to be effecting other peoples devices as well. what should i do?

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    There is no such thing as an iPhone 's3'.  There is a 3G which can only be updated to iOS 4.2.1 and a 3GS which can be updated to iOS 6.1.3.
    Which model iPhone is this?

    WhyWontThisWork:
    I can definitely how frustrating it must be to not be able to take pictures or even view pictures that have already been taken with your LG Dare.
    Since this problem has started, have you tried to either:
    a.) put that memory card in an alternate phone to see if the pictures can be viewed on there
    b.) use a card reader/adapter in a computer to see if the pictures can be viewed on the computer
    c.) take the memory card out of the phone and then try to take a picture?
    What I am trying to determine is which of the 2 is defective (phone or memory card)
    If you are able to view pictures in another phone, or on the computer , then you may have a bad card. If that is the case, you can transfer the pictures to the computer and then format the memory card by
    Note: This procedure will erase all data on the memory card. It is recommended to back up the data.
    From the home screen, touch the menu tab.
    Touch Settings.
    Touch SD card & phone storage.
    Touch Unmount SD card.
    Touch Format SD card.
    Once you have done the formatting, try to take pictures again. If you continue to have problems it more than likely is the phone.
    Also, in order to access PixPlace, log into your MyVerizon account, at the top, you should see "Messaging" go down to "Manage your photo albums" once there, you should see "My Media", however, if you have already received a message advising you that your album would be deleted if you haven't logged on in more than 180 days, all pictures have then most definitely been deleted. Again, we do send warning messages once the online album hasn't been accessed in 150, 175, 180 days respectively prior to deletion.

    i can't seem to install some apps that i downloaded for my iPad from my Mac. i have tried syncing them but they still don't appear on the pad. how do i go about this?

    These are iPad apps correct?
    Do you have restrictions set on the iPad? Settings>General>Restrictions>Installing apps>Off or Settings>General>Restrictions>Allowed Content?
    Are you sure that the Apps are selected to sync from the Mac to the iPad?
    Connect the iPad to the Mac and launch iTunes.
    Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
    Click on the Apps Tab on the right.
    Click on Install next to the apps that you want to sync.
    Click on the Sync Apps Heading to select it
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
    If you do not see the sidebar in iTunes 11 - go to View>Show Sidebar from the iTunes menu.
