I keep on getting a warning to update my security and hit the update button but the "connecting to the update server" runs and runs but never connects."

I have repeated been confronted with a warning that my Firefox (vers. 5.0) needs to be updated for security reasons. I hit the button to launch the update and another window pops up with a "connecting the update server" message. I runs but never connects. I have gone through this exercise perhaps some 10 times or so with no update being successfully accomplished.

If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
* Firefox 6.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

After an update to firefox I keep getting a warning from my Firewall (McAfee) "Program wants internet access". I have permission set at outgoing for firefox and updates checking off, to check that request is valid so what does it need access for

This was not a Firefox update, but a piece of malicious software you have inadvertently downloaded from a site called http://ffftp.co.cc/ which is impersonating Firefox. I discovered this as soon as my Zonealarm requested permission for "Golds" to access the internet. Golds??!! However I couldn't find a file with this name installed on my computer.
You should delete the file you downloaded and certainly do not allow internet access to any suspicious program. If you have already given permission, scan your PC immediately for any virus, malware, etc. Best of luck.

Some times when I press the home button to read my finger the screen becomes black and it shows the Apple logo, this take a few seconds to get back the screen and this has been happening even 3 or 4 times in a row! What should I do?

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

When I have finished working on an image in Photoshop and I hit the save button it goes instead to the "save as" screen. This never happened in previous Photoshop versions. When I get to Lightroom, I have a grey screen the says "File could not be found."

When I have finished working on an image in Photoshop and I hit the "save" button, it goes instead to the "save as" screen. This never happened in previous Photoshop versions. When I get to Lightroom, I have a grey screen the says "File could not be found." I then have to go to "locate" to get the image. When I select the correct image, I get a message that it is not the same file name but I am eventually able to access the image. Needless to say this is having a negative impact on workflow!

The problem with write permissions for the OneDrive folder only shows up in Lightroom 6's export dialogue, that's why it's to irritating. Lightroom 5.7.1 is not having that problem nor does the file explorer. The problem also exists on both of my machines. I will try to check for other problems with the OneDrive troubleshooter though: Running the OneDrive troubleshooter - Windows Help

TS1702 When we double tap the home button, only about half of the icons appear at the bottom. How do we get them all to appear?

WHen we double tap the home button, only about half of the apps appear. How do we get them all o appear?

If an app freezes on you - you can try force quitting the app.
Force quit the app by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears. Let go of the sleep button and then hold down on the home button until the app quits. Restart the iPad.

How do i move the reload page button in firefox OSX to beside the back button where it was before i updated.

how do i move the reload page button in firefox OSX to beside the back button where it was before i updated.
i know there is a classic theme addon for windows but i need a fix for osx...its very frustrating when you update and things like this change and cant be customized back to the way we are used to using the browser. its counter intuitive to have the refresh page button so far away from the back and home buttons.

Is Classic Theme Restorer only for Windows? I thought it worked on Mac, too. Some of the pre-selected interface items like the Application Button may match old Windows versions and you may need to deselect those in its Settings dialog.
To access that dialog, you can use the Add-ons page. Either:
* Command+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions, the on the right side, look for the Options button below Classic Theme Restorer.

Thank you all for these answers but none of the above worked...
I forgot to mention but I run on a windows 7 64bits os.
However, I uninstalled and installed again several times, nothing is getting better.
- java -version is not recognized, but this tool detects my version : http://www.java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp
- In java console, proxy are disabled and I tried to clear the cache --> no improvements
- I did not tried 1.5 only 1.6 but several updates. No improvement either.
Is someone accessing ESR/ID from windows 7 64bits ?
Is there any other tools to install appart from JRE ?

JB.

HT4557 Hi, we have just purchased Apple TV and having some problems connecting to the iPad. It is asking us to 'connect to Home Sharing in iTunes' however I can't find the link/ button to press. iPad has been updated. Any help please

Hi,
We have just purchased Apple TV and can't connect to Home Sharing. We have wifi, the iPad is updated. I can't find the link on ITunes on the iPad that the tv is telling me to click. I've also tried turning it on via settings then music which seems to be connected. I can view YouTube clicks on the tv, but not an app so I can watch the footy. What am I doing wrong.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks

Make sure your Apple TV is on the same network as your iPad. The SSID and password of router must be set in your Apple TV.

When I go into outlook I and hit a new message and hit th "To" button, I get the following error message: The address list cannot be displayed. The contacts folder associated with this address list could not be opened; it may have been moved or deleted,

to continue: For information on how to remove this folder from the Outlook Address book, see MSOffice Outlook help. I also get an error message when I go to tools and hit the address book there. This crap is frustrating!

Hi,
Based on your description, I suspect that your proxy is in internet zone by default, so it cannot use credential
which has been recorded in window credential management. I suggest that we add
proxy server into “Local Intranet” zone via GPO to see if it can solve your problem.
Let me know if it works for you. Thank you.

How to get the back button if we to go the 2nd drill down report??

Hi,
I have a drill down report for the main report. And have detailed drill down as in 1st report>2nd report>3rd report.
But once i goto drill down, the return button is there which directs to main report i.e. 2>1,
But once i goto 3rd, i do not get the back button so that i can access reports in 3>2>1, instead its going directly to 1st from 3rd.
hope i have made the point clear.
Someone suggest me how do i get the back button??
Thanks!!

<script>
function goBack()
window.history.back()
</script>
<input type="button" value="Back" onclick="goBack()">
If helps mark

I updated my 3GS to iOS5, but when i double tap the home button, it doesn't show the camera app, just the ipod controls?

I badly need help, i just updated my 3GS to iOS5, but i don't see any difference, i don't have the new features that they're talking about. When i double tap the home button, it just shows the iPod controls and no camera app shows up.

My iPhone 3GS is still on iOS3 but I think you could already change what double tapping the Home button can do before iOS5, by tapping "Settings" -> "Home". That may have changed in iOS5 but I don't think it should have.

I keep on getting a warning to update my security and hit the update button but the "connecting to the update server" runs and runs but never connects."
