I have used Firefox on my computer for several years. Today, after upgrading to the new version, I was not able to open Firefox. I have tried several times uninstalling and re-downloading Firefox. It still will not open! Is the new version not compatible with Windows Vista?

I hope that link points to mozilla.com or mozilla.org
You will have to close firefox.exe with the Windows Task Manager from the "Processes" tab of the WTM since you don't have a widow to close.
The best way to close Firefox is through File > Exit, for those who stuck with the "Firefox" button click on the Firefox button then Exit. It is not perfect but it is a lot better than just closing the window with the "X" in the upper right corner

After upgrading to the newer version of Firefox, a lose all my tabs every time I close. I've done what was suggested in the FAQx, but I still lose them all when I close. I want to fix this. How?

I want to know how to have my tabs save when I close Firefox. I did what was suggested in the FAQs section, but all my tabs disappear every time I close Firefox, whether using the "exit" command, or the "X" button. This was the very reason I never updated to the new version previously, but had hoped that the problem had been addressed and upgraded, now I'm stuck with having to reopen every tab every time I open Firefox. Please tell me there is a way to correct this. And, I'm not fluent in technospeak, so I need simple, basic instructions. Thank you. Mark

Hi,
Pressing '''Alt''' + '''T''' on the keyboard brings up the '''Tools''' menu.

After upgrading to the new version of firefox, my computer crashes and can't open firefox. I received below message

Error message :"C:\Program files (x86)\Mozilla firefox\firefox.exe......The application failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log or use the command-line sxstrace.exe tool for more detail" How can I fix this error and go back to firefox instead of connecting through IE? I try to reinstall firefox, however I received the same message

Problem with new version 4.3.2 apps not working " after update to the new version "

Problem with new version 4.3.2 apps not working " after update to the new version "
i was in 4.3.1 then i do the update , but now after update i face this problem , so what i Supposed to do ?!!

Hi There
Had the same problem as you. App would terminate when launched.
Solution to working You Tube app:
-Go to playstore
- Uninstall app (it doesn't remove the app, only removes the update)
- "Et Voila", working again.
This doesn't correct the problem, it's just a workaround for you to be able to use youtube app again.
Hope it helped.
Best Regards

Hello,
My old emails address which I have used as my apple id for 10 years is being made redundant. I have changed the email address to a new gmail one and this is my new apple id. But my iMac has not recognised this. It keeps saying it wants the password for my old email address. I have seen some advice on these forums which suggest signing out of iCloud and then back in again. But when I start doing this it asks me if i want all the photos deleted that have not been downloaded onto the mac.
I have had an iCloud account for quite sometime and I'm afraid of losing everything in my cloud if i sign out and sign in with a new id.
Is this fear realistic?
I know I can change back to my old email, sign out and then sign in wight he new one...
Please help!

This did not work for me. My old email account for iCloud still pops up on my screen every time I open my macbook. I've deleted it, reset it, every thing I can think of and it still shows up. I think six months of this is more than enough time to wait.

Hello. So I have used my iPod touch 4g for 2 years now and need to change the battery. My question is: will I lose everything I have on my iPod like my music,pictures and apps if I change the battery on my iPod touch 4g?

Thanks for answer

If you go to Apple, they will not replace your battery, but exchange your iPod for a refurbished iPod of the same model with a new battery. Therefore you will lose everything that is not backed up. If you change it yourself or have a third party change it, you will most likely not lose anything (but still best to make a backup as lllaass suggested).

That was probably caused by your Firewall blocking the newly installed version of Firefox.
No known security issues with Firefox 3.6.17, which was just released this past week.

HT201412 ipad screen will not slide. Tried resetting and a factory reset but still will not work.

ipad screen will not slide. Tried resetting and a factory reset but still will not work.

I have the same issue on my Ipad Air. Screen will not rotate, I have reset the settings, still only displays in the portrait mode. A couple of interesting things though. a couple of days before it completely locked up into portrait I would have to turn the ipad off and hold it in the orientation I wanted because it would not change orientation after I was in an app.
Also, I just played a Netflix video and it was in landscape mode.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

On both of my laptops that upgraded to the new version of Firefox, chat feature doesn't work anymore. It still works on my 3rd laptop that I didn't upgrade.

I have 3 laptops. On 2 of them I upgraded to the new version of Firefox recently when I was prompted to do so. Both of those laptops now have trouble with chat . My 3rd laptop I have not upgraded to latest version and the chat still works. Either fix this or I have to use a different browser. I need to chat for my work. I can't make money without chat feature!!!

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? <br />

I dont have any Add-ons with my FireFox. After upgrade to the latest version 26.0 I'm keep getting Script error "chrome://global/content/binding/popup.xml:580"

Quite frequently I'm keep getting the error like "Script is not responding....I dont have any Add-ons with my FireFox. After upgrade to the latest version 26.0 I'm keep getting Script error "chrome://global/content/binding/popup.xml:580" Stop or Continue Script.
Currently I don't have any Add-Ons installed in my FireFox, so I can suspect any Add-ons.
I'm facing this issue only after the upgrade to 26.0 recently.

SSIS 2014 Custom Component: "The component metadata could not be upgraded to the newer version of the component."

I recently upgraded my set of custom data flow components to use the SQL 2014 SDK as we are upgrading to SQL Server 2014 RTM. The only change I made to my custom components was to change the references to the following DLLs from version 11.0 to version
12.0:
Microsoft.SqlServer.DTSPipelineWrap
Microsoft.SQLServer.DTSRuntimeWrap
Microsoft.SQLServer.ManagedDTS
Microsoft.SqlServer.PipelineHost
After rebuilding my assembly, adding it to the GAC, and placing it in the appropriate directory structure (the 120\DTS\PipelineComponents directory for both the x86 and x64 versions), my components no longer display in the SSIS toolbox in SSDT. In
addition, whether loading up my packages in SSDT or executing them via the SSIS catalog (in SQL 2014), I get the series of error messages below. I do have a PerformUpgrade method implemented in my packages that has worked successfully through previous
component upgrades. I also found this seemingly relevant thread (Custom
SSIS Connection Manager error message in SSIS 2014 (RTM): The connection manager '' is not properly installed on this computer.) and tried modifying the extensions.xml script, but I was unsuccessful with this approach (though I could have done so
incorrectly).
Validation error. DFT Process Changes: DFT Process Changes: The component metadata for "xxx, clsid {874F7595-FB5F-40FF-96AF-FBFF8250E3EF}" could not be upgraded to the newer version of the component. The PerformUpgrade method failed.

Thanks in advance,

Hi Ben,
Please also update the reference to the SSIS assembly Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Design located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\120\SDK\Assemblies folder to the version 12.0.0.0. Besides, rename IDTSxxxx110 objects to IDTSxxxx120.
It may also be the factor that the custom mapping file is not created correctly. You can make a copy of the built-in mapping.xml.sample file, rename its extension to XML, and then edit its <ExtensionMapping> attribute:
<ExtensionMapping tag="mycustom extension"
oldAssemblyStrongName="MyCustomAssembly.MyCustomTask, MyCustomAssembly, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91"
newAssemblyStrongName="MyCustomAssembly.MyCustomTask, MyCustomAssembly, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91" />
Then, we need to upgrade the packages, and SSIS will read all the XML mapping files placed in this directory during upgrade.

Why after upgrading to the new os do some songs in the Ipod library have a dashed circle next to them.

After upgrading to the new os some songs in my library will not sync to my Ipod. I can see them on my computer in the Ipod library with a dashed circle next to them. How do I get them to play on my Ipod. They are songs from store bought CD's in my Itunes library that will play on my computer in Itunes. They do not appear on my Ipod. I can see them when the Ipod is connected to the computer in the Ipod library. I reset the Ipod by holding the home & power button, I went into general settings and reset the device. I synced again but still no songs.

I have the same problem even from iTunes bought music it appears with dashed grey circle beside the ones that I have recently added to my iPod by downloading them from the iPod itself. I honestly think it has to do with the 7.0.3 update that they have recently released. It may have solved other problems but it has created more problems along the way.
Hopefully there will be a solution soon, if anyone has news or solutions please post thankyou
At least now I know I'm not the only one with the same kinda problem

My iPhone has recently been crashing (or rather the apps) when I would try to access my text messages, contacts, phonebook, facebook, or email. I tried restarting my phone and lost all of my contacts. Anyone know what's wrong/how to fix it

My iPhone has recently been crashing (or rather the apps) when I would try to access my text messages, contacts, phonebook, facebook, or email. I tried restarting my phone and lost all of my contacts. This has been happening more and more frequently. Today I was in my pictures and was trying to crop one and my phone shut off completely. Anyone know what's wrong with it or how to fix it?

Make sure all apps are fully closed:
- double tap your home button
- hold your finger on an app
- when the apps start to wiggle press the red "-" button on all the apps
Now do a hard reset:
- hold the home button and the sleeps/wake button down at the same time
- the phone will shut off then when the apple logo ppears release both buttons
If by then your contacts have not been restored you would need to try and retreive them from a back up on itunes/icloud that was made when the contacts were on the phone. You could even stream them from the cloud if they were synced to the cloud. The link beow will show you how to restore from an itunes/icloud back up:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
Also to prevent this issue which i have seen alot when users are still running iOS 5 it would be best to update the iOS on your phone. To do this follow the link below:

Hope this helps

I have just upgraded to the new version of itunes on windows7 and now albums added post udgrade wont play when added to ipod.

Hi
I have just upgraded to the new version of itunes on windows 7. I have just added 8 albums (Mp3 format) to my itunes library, synced with my Ipod classic and my wifes ipod nano, the albums have transferred to the devices but wont play when selected. Yet they will play in itunes.
When I select the album on the ipod, it opens up as normal but when you press play nothing happens other than a wining sound from the hard drive of the ipod.
My itunes library is a mix of itune purchases and mp3 purchases and this is the first time I have experienced this issue
Hopefully there is a simple explanation to this

It is working now. I no longer get the message about the item not being available in the US and I can access the store.

I have used Firefox on my computer for several years. Today, after upgrading to the new version, I was not able to open Firefox. I have tried several times uninstalling and re-downloading Firefox. It still will not open! What is wrong?
