I installed update to Mozilla 25 using Premium Installer. Is this what is used for the install?
I was prompted to update to Mozilla 25. When I did the install, it was done using Premium Installed. Mozilla was not mentioned any where. Was this install correct or did I infect my machine with bogus software?
Definitely bogus. Someone over at MozillaZine reported this yesterday. See:

<blockquote> '''Quote:'''<br>
Just now, when I opened firefox, a dialog appears indicating my firefox browser is out of date and ask me to click ACCEPT to update. I clicked and then a file 'Updater_Setup.exe' is downloaded and saved. I run the file trying to update. The what happens is completely different from my previous firefox updates.
when I run the downloaded file, a dialog appears indicating a program 'Premium Installer' by TINY INSTALLER is going to run; I click run, then a dialog saying " thank you for choosing our software" I click get started, it comes out another dialog indicating "Express Install 'you are less than 30 seconds away!". I continued, the SW seems trying to install a serial of tools such as Mixi Dj. Definitely, this is not a firefox update. I am wondering whether this Updater_Setup.exe is a virus, malware? Thanks

getting an error downloading itunes 64bit for windows 7. says there is a problem with the windows installer package. a program required for the install to be complete could not be run. any ideas? i uninstalled it last night when it would not open.
Just in case, let's try a standalone AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi install.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe, and select "Extract to iTunesSetup". WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup".
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi to do a standalone ASU install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If not, what error message do you get? (Precise text, please.) -
I'm trying to update my software to iTunes 10.5.2. I click on the install button, click the Accept button, the software checks for updates, and then I am back at the original download screen. I can't seem to get past this loop. Any suggestions?
If I go through the setup that you suggested, won't I screw up the existing software on my system?
No. The iTunes installer will first uninstall the existing version of iTunes and then put in the new one. (That's actually also what happens when you use Apple Software Update to install a new version ... it just doesn't show the uninstall phase like the iTunes64Setup.exe or iTunesSetup.exe does.) -
10.5.6 Combo Update not allowing me to select the HD for the install
I have downloaded the Combo update from Apple's site [around 650Mb].
-Double Clicking the .dmg mounts it.
-Double clicking on the mounted icon runs the installer.
-After clicking 'Next' a couple of times I have to select the location of the install
-The given option is only of my Mac Hard-disk [I dont have any partitions, nor windows via bootcamp]
-On selecting the HD, I get a message statin that I need to select some other loacation for the install to continue.
I have no idea what to do & I don't want to mess up my macbook.
Please help...Well I did repair the permissions & backed up. Then I ran the combo update from a pendrive, & it seems to have worked out. So far no problems...hope it stays that way [fingers crossed!]
Thank you. -
We are a small IT department that needs to do multiple installs of software on multiple computers. Having to input an Adobe ID for the install is a hindrance.
Hi a couple of years back i f needed to do a similar thing with adobe photoshop elements 7, i found that there was an instalation file that could be edited that would input the serial number and other settings, i then used group policy to run the install.exe, maybe have a search for this type of thing?

I want to install Win7 on my new iMac using bootcamp. I got a USB drive for the win7 install-disc, but I don't own a cd for the Mac OS (since it was preinstalled when I got it). I read somewhere that I need a mac OS disc as well to complete the bootcamp installation of Win7 ?
I need some recomendations plz.Hello,
you don't need OS X install-disk, but I strongly recomend to burn a Win 7 disk. You may have some problems with installing it from a USB Flash :)
Cheers! -

Download a new copy of the Firefox program: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean reinstall.
Install the new version that you have downloaded.

The gyro no longer works when using the remote app on my iPad. I updated to iOS 7.0.1.
This seem to happen after the update. Any suggestions?Dear Apple friends,
I have the exact same problem with some apps.
Even when I try some websites in Safari and Chrome that require loading big chunks of data they crash.
Today it crashed in two new places. In the notification center and when I opened newstand app I no longer was able to return to the main window and the dock disappeared.
I have my ipad retina for about three months now but latelly this issue has became more frequent. What should I do?
Should I update to the latest firmware and do what raymond73 said?
Is there a fix for this issue?
Has Apple said anything about this? Because I see that this issue is happening to a lot of people.
Is it possible to downgrade to iOS 6?
Is it a firmware problem? That can be fixed in future releases? Or an hardware issue?
Should I wait or go to the place I bought it and try to get the money back? -

I have an iPhone 4, and I go to Settings, General, Software Update, and it says iOS 5.1.1 and I tap on the Install Now, and Agree, then i get the verifying update, and then it says "unable to install update, an error occured installing iOS 5.1.1
I have exactly the same problem. iPhone 4S, never been jailbroken. Not behind a firewall and it happens whether I am on my home compute (iTunes) or directly thru Settings_Update.
Looks like loads of people are having the same problem - and as far as I can see, Apple's sole reply is jailbreak or behind firewall/ security settings/anti-virus. None of those apply here! -

I installed the new numbers on the imac.
I updated a simple spreadsheat.
Tried to open via icloud on ipad-
Apple suggest to update to the new numbers. This is not aviable for the ipad 1.
1) Why Can Ipad 1 users not open icloud docs created by the new numbers on the mac ?
2) What's the use of mobile devices when they don't work
3) Can I open this docs via a google application ?Drag...
Where did you get your copy of numbers on the mac? You best go back to your old version of numbers on your mac.
Perhaps it's something to do with icloud. try dropbox. Try running the spreadsheet through NeoOffice calc on the Mac.
It's the world of software. When you use vintage stuff, you need to get more creative or spend money on an upgrade. Apple is lacking in the legacy world.
Now you be the time to come up with a backup plan for your mac.

I need to reinstall my original factory disc and reset my computer to the beginning. It currently has lion. Do I need to erase my HD first to clear and make new room for the install disc.
Prepare Your Mac for Sale
Boot from the OS X Installer Disc One that came with the computer. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select the startup volume from the left side list then click on the Erase tab. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) then click on the Options button. Select the one pass Zero Data option and click on the OK button. Then click on the Erase button.
Note: You can skip the Zero Data option if you are not concerned about removing sensitive personal data from the hard drive. If you choose to skip this part of the process then it is possible for others to recover data from the hard drive. The Zero Data procedure will prevent others from getting access to your personal information.
This process will take 30 minutes to several hours depending upon the size of the hard drive. After formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Now complete the OS X installation. At the completion of the installation do not restart the computer. Instead just shut it off. The next user will be presented with the Setup Assistant when they turn on the computer just as it would if new out of the box. -
