I installed an update and now I cannot use the mouse since it might select anything in the different pages I have tried.

Since yesterday, when I installed a firefox update, I cannot use the mouse to select pages. When selecting an drop down menu, I need to use the keyboard. When opening a file, it does not allow me to select the forefront window. Basically, the mouse is useless. This happens in different webpages and these pages work well in Chrome or Explorer. I prefer Firefox. Pls fix. Even for posting this question, I need to use the keyboard to use the drop down menu below.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, 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.

  • HT1222 I just installed this update and now I cannot access "Mail" at all.  I tried reinstalling the program, but that does not work, either.  Help!!!!!!

    I just installed this update and now I cannot access "Mail" at all.  I tried reinstalling the program, but that does not work, either.  Help!

    Paldeng, thanks for the suggestion.  I've done all that.  I can connect to the server, but apparently they are not recognizing my ID and password.  I can use the server program if I don't go through Mail (using the same ID and password).  My mother in another state with another provider has had the same email issue, as also my husband on his laptop who uses the same internet connection I do.  His worked fine until we had it repaired at the Apple store and all the original programs reloaded (with the required updates, I assume).  We can receive email in Mail, we just cannot send.
    I contacted my service provider, and we went over my connections.  They said it was not their problem and connected me with Apple, resulting in a charge to me because my warranty is long expired.  Apple swears it is not their problem, it is the provider, so here I sit.  My son was able to fix my Mom's Mail (she's 97) and got my husband's working also, until mine went out, by tweaking connection descriptions and ports remotely.  The thing is, we had not messed with any of those settings, so what changed?  I just did not want to bother my son again, as he has many other demands on his time.
    Since this fiasco with the Mail v4.6 update, I'm wondering if something else was updated that works well with Lion and Mountain Lion, but does not work well with Snow Leopard and Leopard.  I think the problem I had with the Mail update was that my Mail program had been renamed to Mail (original), and therefore was not being recognized by the update.  Perhaps they had another tweak in there somewhere that is affecting outgoing mail connections?

  • Installed latest update and now i cannot get itunes to load

    installed latest update and now i cannot get itunes to load

    I was having major problems too. I ended up completely uninstalling itunes then downloaded it again from http://www.apple.com/itunes/.   If you're using firefox, for some reason itunes will not download and  I  don't know if using googlechrome will also have problems,so just to  be  sure that it will work on your first try, use internet  explorer  when you download itunes. Hope this helps...

  • I have redeemed my iTunes giftcard (which was accepted without verification) however when I tried to make a purchase, I am required to verify my identity, and thus I cannot use the giftcard which I HAVE REDEEMED. Is there any way I can un-redeem it?

    I have redeemed my iTunes giftcard (which was accepted without verification; it only needed my password)
    However when I tried to make a purchase, I am required to verify my identity, and thus I cannot use the giftcard which I HAVE REDEEMED. Is there any way I can un-redeem it? I am currently trying to enter all of the possibilities for my questions, and my iPad is new, so the serial number is not registered with my account. According to support, no purchases have been made in my account, so I can't verify my identity through credit card. Please help!~

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.
    If you just want to have the card un-redeemed, use the form.

  • My phone went blank and now will only show the apple logo I have tried to reset it and that doesnt work HELP!!!!

    My iPhone is frozen. It was working find about a hour ago and then for no reason the screen went to the apple logo. I have tried to reset it and that doesnt work. When I press the power/lock button and the center key it turns off but then it comes right back to the apple logo screen and wont go any further. Please help I dont have my stuff saved and would like to keep the stuff i do have on it!!! Every once in awhile the screen will go black for a few seconds then the apple logo pops right back up!

    Try to set it up as new device, explained here:
    How to back up your data and set up as a new device
    First without using the backup, in case it contains corrupt data.
    If it works after that, use the backup to restore from.

  • HT1414 my iphone started to install update then failed and now i cannot use the phone

    the phone is connected to my mac and when i go into itunes i cannot bring up the phone to do a restore

    I am having the same problem. I have gone through every setting, set the bold font, contrast, larger font....everything I could find in any post to try and help - and between the new color scheme that makes it virtually impossible to use the pictures of my grandchildren as background (the picture colors now become the theme colors - which now match the colors of many of the "flat" icons...) I am finding the phone very difficult to use--espeically things like the calendar which has now become very hard to "see" and use. If I can't revert this thing to iOS6, I may have to get a different phone.

  • My new iMac has recently had OSX Lion installed on it and now when I start the machine it looks like its updating something every time, and the wireless doesn't work. So I restart and everything is OK - until I have to start up again the next time?

    My new iMac has recently had OSX Lion installed on it and now when I start the machine it looks like its updating something every time, and the wireless doesn't work. So I restart and everything is OK - until I have to start up again the next time - then I have to repeat this again! Any help appreciated.

    I've been having the same issue, but have just discovered something on my own that hasn't been pointed out in any of the forums I've visited.  In what I thought would be a vain attempt to help myself, I went to System Preferences, Users & Groups, and then clicked on Login Items.  I discovered that one of the Items that was listed to open automatically upon login was iTunes Helper and that there was an exclamation point beside it indicating that it was incompatible.  I simply deleted that item and now I don't have the situation you described and my wireless is connected.  Hope this helps!

  • I thought I was installing an update and now iTunes will not open? HELP!!!!!, I thought I was installing an update and now iTunes will not open? HELP!!!!!

    I thought I was installing an update and now iTunes will not open on my computer... HELP!!!!

    Others are more likely to help if you stop needlessly repeating yourself and provide some details.
    What operating system? Windows (XP, Vista, 7) Mac
    Any errors?
    Also, try doing a search either here or via Google, you are more likely to get a faster resolution as there is no need to wait on others to respond.

  • I've downloaded the update for the HP Support Assistant and now I cannot use it.

    The message "An error occured" appears at the top and I cannot use the assistant.  I've tried to unistall the assistant by going through the control panel and then to uninstall a program.  I cannot do that either because I get the message that the item is on a network resource that is unavailable.  I would like to uninstall the HP Support Assistant Assistant and then reinstall the new one with the update.  Thanks.

    Hi,
    Try the following
    First of all, see if you can uninstall your current version of HP Support Assistant by using the Microsoft 'Fixit' on the following link - this is particularly useful in correcting issues that may prevent reinstallation on machines running a 64bit OS.
    http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
    If this completes, restart the PC.
    Next download and install the latest version of HP Support Assistant from the page on the link below - the download links are towards the bottom of the page.
    http://h18021.www1.hp.com/helpandsupport/hp-support-assistant.html
    After the installation, restart the PC again.
