I have tried to load FF 21 and 22 on iMac with OS 10.8.4 - in a do-loop telling me can't find the server
Something, somewhere is looking for something that I don't have or don't present.
If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then best is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox application and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
*Firefox 22.0: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
*Trash the current Firefox application (e.g. open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re-)install
*Install the new version that you have downloaded
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Installing+Firefox+on+Mac
Your personal data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox profile folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data when you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

my phone will not pick up network, i have tried restoring on i-tunes and it comes up with error message -1
Here's what that error means:
Error 1 or -1
This may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues, and restore your device on a different known-good computer. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

Ever since I downloaded this latest version, my browser is not loading the page. Says can't find the server error. This is very frustrating and slow. What should I do.
That file might have moved to a different location on the server. I think you'll need to check with RefWorks support or your local IT department on why the install page links do not work.

We have a large family, 5 kids and two adults all with iPads, iPhones, Mac Books, Servers.... How can we combine our purchases to use on all our devices. We have two Apple ID's and sometimes buy multiple copies because of how we are limited...
Hello Halfback71,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
Frequently asked questions about Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5622
I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.
If you are wondering how using multiple Apple IDs relate to iCloud, see Apple IDs and iCloud.
Best of luck,

I recently started using mail and I am always getting "can't find the server or server is busy. I have AOL what should I do?
Movies are not stored in your iCloud account unless you add them in the theater feature of iMovie version 10.

Since upgrading to Firefox 27.0 some webpages will not load when I click on them. It gives me a message saying that Firefox can't find the server. I have to click the link several time before it will load and sometimes when they do load it does not show the page right. It is like the HTML is messed up or something. I have tried everything I can think of. I started in safe mode, still did it., I removed add-ons, still did it., I reset Firefox and still did it., I completely uninstalled Firefox and re-installed Firefox and it still does it. I have tried Malware Bytes Anti-Malware scans and Avast boot-time scans and found no malware or viruses. I have found that those websites open the first time with no problems on my IE9 and they used to do so in Firefox 26.0. I'm at my wit's end. The website links are in my bookmarks and are used all the time so they are trusted and my avast is set to allow them. They range from news websites to gun websites and everything I have read says that Mozilla does not filter those unless something has changed recently.
Try this as a first step;<BR><BR>

If there is still a problem,
'''''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Start Firefox in Safe Mode]'''''

Safari can't find the server OVER and OVER and OVER
I just purchased a 2013 Macbook Air last week. It is running the latest version (Mavericks). I planned to migrate from Google Chrome as my primary browser to Safari.
However, approximately 1 in 8 websites I visit come back with the error "Safari can't find the server." These same websites show up fine in Chrome and other browsers.
I have used past answers on here to try and fix things. So far I have:
-Ensured the websites work in other browsers
-Turned off any firewall
-Turned off any extensions
-Erased history and deleted cache
-Restarted computer and Safari
-Changed just about every Safari setting under preferences
-Unchecked any proxies in Network settings
-Reset my wi-fi router
None of these things have fixed the problem or reduced the number of times the error message is displayed.
I have no antivirus or mac cleaner crap on my computer, so that shouldn't be interferring.
Also, these are not some strange foreign websites I'm trying to access; these are things like Tumblr, USPS.com, eBay, Audible, etc. Heck, even the discussions.apple.com has not been found once or twice.
Is this a normal thing for Safari to suck or have I missed something that might fix it? Because at the moment I'm going to go back to Chrome and pack Safari away.Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2. -
Slow-Start Up and "can not find the server" dialog box
hi there -
2 year old Ibook G4. When I try to open either Safari or Netscape the "can not find the server" box pops up.. I have a solid connection wi-fi for the wireless signal is on full strength. I have cleared my cache. Also I am experiencing start-ups that are taking 2-3 minutes. The color wheel just keeps spinning.Also, I have done repair and I renewed the DHCD. Not sure what else to do?as a guess, spinning wheel could be caused by failing hard drive.
often failing hard drives will pass all tests by the utilities.
you may want to back up any important files just in case.
if the iBook boots up from the OS install CD/DVD with no problems, issues could be caused by the corrupted files on the hard drive or failing drive. -

Hi I have tried all the tricks from the support to have iMessage and FaceTime running but it is impossible for me to activate these apps with my phone number. Problem is I have another sim from the same carrier and I am able to do it on that one.
I am desperate for a help!
Thanks a lotCan you make phone calls on the phone that won't activate? Is it only iMessage and Facetime that isn't working? What about data - can you access the internet?
Your last statement didn't make much sense to me: " I still can have the apps working but only from an email"
Pls explain that clearly. -

We have also lost our windows XP theme for the desktop at the same time. I did fix that issue, but the theme keeps disappearing again and is becoming a hassle.
I have run a virus scan with trend micro but nothing was found.
I also deleted cookies, caches and the whole history
would appreciate your help. thanks

Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/4.0)Hello Susanne.
You may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on 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?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author. -
I have no idea why...and I am new to Mac. I have a Macbook Pro and it keeps glitching with question marks instead of images and it won't load the webpage
Please enable guest logins and log in as Guest. Launch Safari and test. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and disable it if you wish.

Follow this article: iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim
If that fails to resolve the issue, follow this article: iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device
If that fails, the device has a hardware fault. -
This is an ongoing issue.
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.

I get multiple windows opening with this message. Sometimes as many as 8 or more. I first tried clearing my cache then I uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it but the issue persists.
I am using Trend Micro anti virus software with their latest updates and have run a complete scan. The program tells me I do not have a virus but I suspect I do. Can anyone give me any input on this?
Thanks.Do a malware check with some malware scan programs.<br />
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.<br />
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.<br />
