I installed 4.0 over 3.57, now it's stuck in a reboot cycle, it keeps saying reboot to finish but does not see the reboot
I ran the install exe file for firefox4.0 with 3.57 already installed. It seemed to go fine. It came to the dialogue box saying reboot required to finish installation. I have rebooted several times and keep getting the final reboot dialogue box. I also attempted to reinstall but after the first install screen I get the same dialogue box asking to reboot. Reboot is not recognized. I cannot remove either 3.57 or 4.o without getting the dialogue box saying installation/update needs reboot to finish. When I reboot I get the same box again. What's stuck?
have you tried rebooting your computer?

Wiped our old iPad 1 clean, now can't install iOS from iTunes using laptop PC (W Vista). iTunes does not "see" the device. Tried uninstalling and installing iTunes on laptop. Also bought new USB cable. The iPad is charging, but that's all it does. Just want to get it operating again for browsing and e-reading.
OK. You merely erased the content and settings. The IOS is still there.
If it has NEVER been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures. From what you've already stated, my guess is that you'll end up with Recovery Mode described in the last paragraph.
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, read this. -
I downloaded the new version of Mozilla and tried to install an add-on to allow me to set the home page for new tabs. The app says it has downloaded but does not open new tabs as my home page (google) - any suggestions what I can do?
I've been working on this all day!!! I've tried everything I know of and can't get it to load either. Sounds like lots of people are having problems. Here is what I have so far...I have uninstalled EVERYTHING on my pc from apple and reinstalled itunes to no avail. I have tried all sorts of things I've read as fixes online. NOTHING has worked. Here is something interesting that i have noticed though. my main pc (which is the one i have always managed my itunes account with for years) is a 32 bit system running windows 7. Yesterday I installed itunes for the first time on my new netbook which is a 64 bit (windows 7) system and it works just fine. i have three other laptops (all window 7) in my household that are all 64 bit operating systems and ALL have updated to 10.5 and THEY ALL work fine. this is FOUR 64 bit systems ALL updated w/10.5 that work and ONE that is a 32 bit that will not. Can't get any help from apple. their suppot *****! I want to get someone on the **** phone or a live chat but cant. *** APPLE????? please let mw know if you find SOMETHING i can try next. I'm out of ideas and patience!

I bought Ebey NEW Boxed (NEVER OPENED) 16GB Black Iphone 5 Virgin Mobile (USA) NO CONTRACT, want to use it in Europe, particularly in Ukraine, but for some reason now my phone does not see the Ukrainian GSM sim card. Please help to solve this problem.
Return it and get your money back. Virgin does not offer official unlocking, thus there's no way to get the phone officially unlocked for you to use it.
Sorry, but you wasted your money. -
I am trying to install a second airport express to extend my network. When I use the aiport utility it does not see the second airport express.
Suggest that you perform a Factory Default Reset as follows:
Pull the Express from power
Wait a few moments
Hold in the reset button and keep holding it an additonal 8-10 seconds while you plug the Express back in to power
Release the reset button and allow 40-45 seconds for the Express to restart
Apple's instructions to do what you want are here:
It will often help to temporarily connect an Ethernet cable from your Mac to the AirPort Express for the setup. Once the Express is configured, you can disconnect the Ethernet cable and move the Express to the desired location.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4259
Although an AirPort Extreme is shown as the extending device in the example, the setup for an AirPort Express is exactly the same -

Installed new 160 GB HDD ... Trying to now install OSX But does not see hdd
HELP!!!!!
Ok.. I just installed a new Sea Diamondmax 160GB PATA 7200 RPM 2MB Cache Hard Disc Drive in my 12" Powerbook G4 1.5 Ghz with Super Drive...
Ok... so I am trying to load my Install disc that came with my computer..
but when I click on agree... it takes me to the next window that asks me where I want to install this... and everything is greyed out... it is not seeing my new hard drive... there is no hard disc drive listed....
BUT... When I go to Disc Utilities, it reads my new disc...
So, Now what do I have to do???
Do I need to format new hdd??
If so... How do I do this???
and if not... what do I do next????
I am VERY NEW at this stuff and I have never installed this op sys...

Anyway.. if you can give me a Step by step for all that I need to do... that would be greatly appreciated....
I need exact step by step.. I really am not good at this stuff...
Thank you for any help with this...
Justa Gurl In Sweden.. who used to live in Seattle...
Regards,
RhondaHello Rhonda,
You just need to format it in Disk Utility first, new HDs almost always come with Windows® FAT32 formatting.
Click on the icon/name that shows up on the left in Disk Utility.
Click on the Erase Tab to the right of that.
Beside Volume Format:, choose MacOS Extended (Journalled), give it a Name if you wish... any name you wish.
Click on the Options button, choose Zero Data, then OK.
Select Erase button.
When it's done you can quit DU and install.
Don't worry, you can do this, and there is almost nothing that can go wrong! -
Hello. I have the Premier Pro CS5 suite on Windows. Can you advise me how to re install Encore off my discs without affecting any of my movie in Premier Pro please?
I ask Pro to send the movie sequence through Dynamic Link into Encore so that I can burn the sequence to a disc.
Encore does open but the sequence does not arrive from Pro.
Last night the sequence did arrive into Encore but took forever to transcribe and I eventually cancelled the process as it appeared to get stuck and did not quite get to writing to disc.
This morning the sequence does not even arrive into Encore.
Very frustrating when I have a 4hr movie that I want to write to Bluray so I have now created 4 separate sequences and want to try writing them onto DVD in 1hr chapters.
Hope someone can help me with this. Cheers. JaniceHello Ann. Thank you for your help. I have re installed EN and I have now
sent parts of my movie to AME. I have then tried several different methods
of getting the encoded clips into Encore successfully. Once in the Project
panel and the Timeline, the movie does not show up in the Monitor panel
above, so I have proceeded to build and write to a disc. I've tried a
number of options but always end up with EN 'not responding' and having to
close the program down.
Something else is that I do get a message whilst in Premiere Pro that there
is an update available for AME, however, when I look online I do not see an
update for CS5, although there are 2 updates for CS6. Can you suggest what
I could do please? The Encore problem is the one that concerns me the most
as I am not able to record my movie.
Looking forward to your reply.
Kind regards.

I have check for a virus, via AVG; none found on a scan of the whole computer.
I have called up Firefox at least twice to reach UWO & its Convergence pgm to get my mail. Convergence asks for my security password. I have entered it very carefully several times on two separate tries of Convergence, & it is not recognized. The only thing unusual that has happened is the Firefox crash immediately before I called up Convergence. I think this password is a Firefox thing, required whenever the site wants a password.
What do I do now?Firefox shouldn't require to enter a password to start, so if you need one then you may not have the official version from the Mozilla servers.
Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
*Download the full Firefox installer and save the file to the desktop<br>https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
If possible uninstall your current Firefox version to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove "personal data" when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords including data in profiles created by other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
*(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

If I choose a Theme for the appearance of my Gmail Inbox, using my Dell Inspiron computer running on Windows 7, the new Theme appears on my other computer running on XP, but not on my Dell!
On my Dell, all the messages in the Inbox are separated by a black line, in fact yjere are many black lines and no colors shown on the Windows 7 Dell. This was not there from the beginning, but came about z week ago.It's possible that you are 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 caused by one (or more than 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] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). 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 themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
If the problem does not disappear when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone. -
Install Software Does Not See the Router
Trying to install a WRT54GX4 using a DSL modem with Windows XP.
Every time that I get to the point (both the CD and the "Easy Install download) where the software is supposed to find the router I get a message that says that the wireless broadband router is not in the network. The power on, Internet, WLAN, and Ethernet lights are all on on the router.
I am an experienced computer user and have used Linksys wireless products before and have done everything that I know how to do other than manually install the puppy. Everything has been connected properly and in the correct sequence.
Thank you,
AgI am having the same problem. I tried the setup using instructions from the CD included with the router, from a version of the setup downloaded from the LinkSys site, and using the interactive utility at the web site. Everything flows smoothly along until it always fails with a message that it does not recognize that there is a wireless router connected. I tried the online chat help from LinkSys but this was challenging since I only had a single machine and single internet conection and couldn't maintain the connection for the chat session.
I have a Westell DSL modem from BellSouth and they did confirm that my LinkSys wireless router should work OK with my existing DSL service. -
Trying to install Yosemite but does not complete the installation
i have a MacBook pro 13 inch, with Mavericks on it. I downloaded yosemite and started the installation. It runs through most of it and then during the last two minutes it doesnt seem to finish. It has been sitting on "2 minutes remaing" for a couple of hours now. Suggestions? Thanks.
My guess is something is wrong on your disk drive. If you can you should quit the installer. Here are three ways. One should work for you.
If the installer's icon is in your Dock, the CTRL- or RIGHT-click and see if you can successfully quit from there.
Press COMMAND-OPTION-ESC to open the Task Manager. Select the installer's entry and click on the Force Quit button.
Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Click on the Name titlebar to display alphabetically. Select the entry for the Installer then click on the Quit button.
Hopefully, this will get you out of the installer without deleting the installer. Now restart the computer to see if you can, and if it's booting your old system or the new one. If it's the latter then do this:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Restart the computer.
Now, run the installer again. Hopefully, it will run all the way through now.
