I keep trying to update Firefox on my Mac. Whenever I do, it keeps saying connecting but it never connects. I have tried for hours and it still says connecting...

Just what I said before...

If you have 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 5.0.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

    2009 MacBook Pro eh? It looks like your hard drive has failed. Three years is pretty standard. Often, then only hint you have is catastrophic failure.
    If you put the old hard drive into an external enclosure or similar device, you may still be able to migrate your data from it. Just because it won't boot doesn't mean you can't still read from it. Still, I wouldn't keep trying it. As long as you are buying a new hard drive, may as well get sometime to use with Time Machine too.

  • I tried to update my iphone 4s. it is now showing a sign to plug the phone into itunes. Plugged it into itunes and now itunes says i cannot update the phone as it is in recovery mode. any ideas?

    I tried to update the software on my phone. It showed a picture to plug the phone into itunes. Plugged it in and now itunes says i cannot update the phone as it is in recovery mode. I cannot turn back on the phone without this message showing up. Any suggestions? Thanks

    That is not what it says. Read the message again. It's telling you it has detected an iPhone in recovery mode and it must be restored.
    Restore it. You don't have a choice at this point.

  • Trying to update from 4.2.6 iPhone 4 with iTunes 10.2.2.14 - getting error 3194. Have tried everything suggested in the forums. Nothing works. Desperate for ideas.

    For the past month I've been trying to update my iphone 4 (Verizon) from 4.2.6. I've got iTunes 10.2.2.14. My computer runs Windows XP.
    When I try to update, I get a 3194 error message. I've tried everything that's been suggested in the forums here to fix this problem, including even uninstalling my antivirus, not just disabling it. Nothing works. I've tried resolving it through Apple Care, to no avail. Can someone please help me resolve this? This is a stock phone, it has not been jailbroken or customized. If you've resolved this yourself successfully, please let me know what you did to fix things. I'm stuck!
    Thanks so much to anyone who can help with this intractable problem.

    Try updating the iPhone on another computer or in another user acconut.
    Apple has an article for specific error codes here -> http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
    This device is not eligible for the requested build: Also sometimes displayed as an error 3194. If you receive this error, update to the latest version of iTunes. If you do have the latest version of iTunes, this can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new IPSW. 3rd party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue, to resolve please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported.
    WTH.

  • HT1338 I am trying to download java onto my macbook pro, but for some reason this function isn't recognizing the internet.  The error message insists that I am not connected but I am.  I have tried this through both safari and firefox

    Sorry I didn't realize the above was just a subject line.
    I have been trying to download java for my macbook pro, but for some reason the function is not recognizing the internet.  I am on and have checked several times .... I have checked through both safari and firefox but to no avail.  Thanks for any help anyone can give.

    Not really a reply just some added info:
    This is the error message I get saying the internet is not on, but clearly as I can send this message it has to be:
    To open “Java Preferences,” you need to install a Java runtime, but you are not connected to the Internet.
    I am connected through Wi-fi if that makes a difference.

  • Firefox is downloading a software update and it over an hour. It still shows "connecting to the srever" What's the problem

    Firefox is trying to download a software update but it's been over an hour and it still says "connecting to the update server". It doesn't seem to be working. What's the problem? I have a Mac Mini.

  • I am trying to update to 5.0 and the installer keeps saying that I need to close Firefox to continue, but I have closed it and it still says I need to close it.

    I then tried to uninstall Mozilla 4.0 and it keeps saying the same thing that I need to close firefox before I can continue, but it is closed. I have no browsers open and it still will not allow the uninstall or the install.

    No iPod touch is capable of running both iOS 4.2 and 7.1.2, and you appear to have a second generation iPod touch, which can't be updated past 4.2.1.

  • How can I block bogus web site that keeps trying to update firefox? Need to identify bogus site too.

    How can I block bogus web site that keeps trying to update firefox? Need to identify bogus site too.

    hello, this is a scam tactic that is trying to trick you into installing malware, so don't download or execute this kind of stuff - updates are handled automatically by firefox so you don't have to download anything (you can always initiate a manual check for updates in ''firefox > help > about firefox'').
    you might also want to run a full scan of your system with the security software already in place and different tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes], [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner] & [http://www.kaspersky.com/security-scan kaspersky security scan] in order to make sure that there isn't already some sort of malware active on your system that triggers these false alerts.
    [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]
    you could also help by pressing F10 & going to ''help > report web forgery'' while you're on this dubious page - this might get the page into the list of malicious sites that get blocked in firefox (the actual list is maintained by google) or when such pages use the firefox logos or trademarks to trick users into downloading malware you could also file it at https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/legal/fraud-report/.

  • Trying to update Firefox: download latest version, follow directions to install, when restart still have old version

    Trying to update Firefox from 3.6.22 to 6.0.2
    I download latest version, follow directions to install (move to app folder, drag to dock) but the old version in the dock is what opens.
    So I removed old version from dock, put new version in, and restarted computer for good measure.
    But when I restart still have old version...
    How do I get the newest version of Firefox to be the one my computer uses?
    Have tried to download and install several times over several months without success...

    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
