I installed 4 beta on my iBook G4 OS 10.4 and it caused the previous version to be unusable; how can I revert and is it possible to restore my bookmarks?
My iBook is running OS 10.4.11; after installing the beta about December 11 2010, neither version of Firefox is usable. I don't want to uninstall as my bookmarks will be lost. How can I correct this and still preserve the bookmarks I have?
Firefox 4 will no work on OS X 10.4, it requires at least OS X 10.5
You can trash the application and this will not remove the bookmarks. User data such as bookmarks and passwords are stored elsewhere in the profile folder, and trashing the application will not remove the profile folder. For more details see [[Uninstalling Firefox]].

I have installed Adobe Creative Cloud for teams CC Packages which says that Acrobat XI Pro is installed. Your support page says it does not install Acrobat and I have to look in the Extensions folder for an MSI file. I have run a number of searches and cannot find the Acrobat extension folder please advise how can I get these applications to load onto my computer?
Also I now administer the teams and have accepted the invitation to I received to be a team member and download the apps. The admin page shows that I have been sent an invitation but does not show my account as "ACtive" unlike my other team members. I tried to use the link in the invite to accept it become active but the link displayed an error saying I had already accepted the invite... why is no account not active?
Finally what other product downloads in Creative Cloud do not actually download as part of the Creative cloud Packager for downloading the apps? e.g. acrobat and what else?My apologies Eadeszoo I believe our support agents are unavailable on January 1.
Are you able to copy the contents of the DVD to your computer? Are you receiving any particular error messages when you are trying to install? Finally which operating system are you using? -

Firefox 4 is incredibly slow. It is making it very difficult for me to work on the internet. I want to de-install it and return to the previous version, which was much faster. Please advise me about how to de-install Firefox 4. thank you, sj
I decide to go through and thin out my add-ons anyway, but it definitely was an add-on that was causing the slow-down. Now it's blazing again.

I'm a Pro Tools user, who just did an "Archive and Install" installation of 10.5.8 over my 10.4.11 on my 2 Ghz G5, now Pro Tools won't launch. I checked the extensions folder and sure enough, the digidesign extensions were left behind. Can I revert back to the "Archive" of my 10.4.11 System from the "Previous Systems" folder? If not, what's the point of creating the "archive"?
Did you select "Preserve User Settings"?
Archive and Install installation automatically moves existing system files to a folder named Previous System, then installs Mac OS X again. (See tip 3.) You cannot start up your computer using a Previous System folder, nor can you "re-bless" the Previous System folder. (See tip 1.)
You can choose to preserve your user and network settings before installing. This option automatically moves existing users, Home directories, and network settings. This also skips the Setup Assistant after installation.
Note: Because the "Preserve user and network settings" option moves, not copies, existing users, Home directories, and network settings, from the Previous Systems folder to the newly installed System, these items will not exist in the Previous Systems folder after the Archive and Install is complete.

I have recently tried to install the CD software for the above printer and although I can print wirelessly. The CD presents an error message saying that MAC os 10.7 is not supported. I have followed the instructions to install a software update from apple but no printer update appears in my updates window. What should I do? Can anyone forward me a link to the update?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Around two months ago I upgraded my Firefox. I don't remember to what version (and to my surprise, when I clicked on Firefox today, it automatically upgraded to version 5, which seems to me to have the same problem), but it doesn't have an icon to stop a page from opening and when I want to go back to a previous page, there is no tab (might not have the right word) to click that will show a drop-down list of the pages I went to before, so I have to click back, back, back, until I find what I want. Previously, the back, forward, refresh, and stop icons were together on the left side. There's still a reload button (now on the right), but why no "stop"? That's very important. Plus the drop-down list of web pages visited.
I also found right after I upgraded that my Yahoo mail was affected. Let's say I open an email, then click on back to return to my inbox. Instead of going one page back to the list of emails I received, it goes back to the first web page after logging in, the page where Yahoo says I have this many messages and there are updates on my friends. So I have to click on inbox again to see my list of messages. Or, still in the inbox, say I want to revisit old messages which are three pages away from the first page listing my messages, so I click "next" twice to get to them and then open one, and then click "back"---what happens is, I find myself back to the very first page instead of the third one! So I have to click "next" again!
You can imagine how inconvenient it is. All of this started in the very same session when I upgraded my Firefox to the version Mozilla was promoting then. So I'd like to have my old version back, which I had no problems with. Thanks for your help.I want to know how to DISABLE the automatic updates and return to the earlier version that has a MUCH better toolbar and is MUCH easier to use I am using MAC OS 10.5.8 on a G5 tower and loved Firefox until now and did NOT want the update that automatically installed itself!

Not sure what to do. I've tried a system restore on my computer after the update in hopes of undoing the problem, that didn't work. I've tried to install, the new version of itunes for over two days now and I get to the point where it says "starting services" and it almost get's done and then it gives me that message " Service apple mobile device (apple mobile device) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privledges to start system services." Then it gives me three options to click on "abort", "retry" or "ignore". I've tried to retry over and over and it does no good, I just get the same message. I've tried ignore and the one time it did finish installing itunes, it didn't work, I got error messages telling me that it failed to download properly and I needed to delete the program and download it again. I thought maybe it had something to do with my ipod not being pluged into the computer so I pluged that it and it's still giving me the same message. I just don't know what to do. I'm very frustrated and I would really appreciate it if someone could help me. I'm completely out of ideas.

I updated to new ios and now it is not syncing properly. New songs are not showing up on the ipod display but when I view the device on my computer, they are in the playlist but there is a dashed circle beside the missing songs. It previously synced perfectly before the IOS update. How can i revert back to the previous installed version?
Downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple.

Now the previous version won't open. I downloaded and tried to instal 6.0 without software update, which failed, and my old 5.5.3 Airport Utility still won't open.
iTunes no longer recognizes my airport express.
Error Message:
None of the selected updates could be installed.
An unexpected error occurred.
Can't delete Airport Utility and reinstal from scratch as it is, “AirPort Utility” can’t be modified or deleted because it’s required by Mac OS X.
Any sugestions?I reinstalled AirPort 5.5.3 which worked, but the app still won't launch but iTunes now recognizes my AirPort Express, I just hope I don't want to change its settings.

How can I reset Safari with all components? On my MacBook with Lion, Safari does not start, does not react immediately after trying to open it. Installing a new Safari does not help. Removing parts of Safari in the Library does not help. Where can I find and remove all components as LastSession and TopSites?
The only way to reinstall Safari on a Mac running v10.7 Lion is to restore OS X using OS X Recovery
Instead of restoring OS X in order to reinstall Safari, try troubleshooting extensions.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect: Allow plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.
If it's not an extension or plug-in issue, delete the cache.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test. -
Hi,
My iphone 4 won't connect to my mac book, it says that I need to install to latest version of itunes 11.1. When I go to itunes and try to update, it says that I have the latest version (10.6.3). Can someone please help me!
thanksYou are probably running OS 10.4 or 10.5 on a PPC Mac. No version of iTunes higher than 10.6.3 is available for these older Macs. I have the same problem, and while I can still use the PPC to sync my iPod, it can't be used to sync an iPhone 4 or higher. The only solution, as I discovered after upgrading to the iPhone 4, is to buy a newer Mac. I was able to get a 2006 MacBook running Lion for under $300, and that has been a lifesaver.

Since installing Firefox 9.0.1 LAST night on my iMac, which is running OSX v. 10.5.8, Firefox is now crashing every few minutes. It usually happens as I go from one website to another -- when I click on a bookmarked website from my bookmarks, Firefox crashes just as the next website is coming up. I have NEVER had this problem with Firefox before. I need to uninstall and revert to the previous version of Firefox, but OSX doesn't have an easy "revert to previous configuration" routine. Or... please send out a fix for 9.0.1 (assuming others are having the same problem) right away.
Thank you mha007. Actually, Verdi had solved the problem about 10 days ago. It was another Plug-in, Showcase, that was incompatible with the newest Firefox, so he told me to disable it, and that worked instantly. The other day, though, Firefox again started constantly crashing. This time I looked and found -- as you suggest -- another outdated plugin, in this case Silverlight. Don't know why it took ten days to start causing a problem, but as soon as I disabled it, everything was back to normal. I have NEVER had such problems with any new versions of Firefox, and I've been using it for ages, so this was pretty disconcerting to see how problematic the new version was.
