I'm trying to update to firefox 6.0, but the download stops at 79%. How can I fix this? It occurs even after restarting my Mac.

I've been using firefox with my Mac book. Yedsterday, I got a message to update from version 3.6 to 6.0 in 3 steps. Step 1 was to download version 6.0. It appeared on the list of downloads as Firefox 6.0 dmg. However Step 1 , which was to open the download, stopped at 79% of the download version. So I have not been able to update to version 6.0.

I want to make sure you're using the auto-update system, because that's the safest most reliable way to go, and it shouldn't appear in the download manager, so I lets make sure you're doing it right. <br/>
This is a screencast I made a couple of years ago. It refers to 3.5 and 3.6, but the steps are still the same: http://ilias.ca/screencasts/ISUHD45.mov
If that doesn't work, then maybe your Snow Leopard account doesn't have permission to update applications?

  • My "update" button won't work in the app store anymore. How can I fix this?

    When I go into the app store, I cannot "update all" of the apps. The color on the button changes when I press there but nothing happens. I also can't go into each app and update them individually. Has this happened to anyone else?

    - Try another cable
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I have an Ipad 2 Model MC775LL, IOS 6.0.1 (10A523) and I am trying to update to IOS 6.1, but the download is taking too many hours. Is it normal?

    You have to connect the iPad to your computer to update.
    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
    Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

  • I have recently updated my CC programs to the latest version and now all of my files wont open by default into their respective programs, only if I open the program and go to file open and open the file from there. How can I fix this?

    I have recently updated my CC programs to the latest version (CC2014) and now all of my files wont open by default into their respective programs, only if I open the program and go to file>open and open the file from there. How can I fix this?
    I have tried 'Open with' and the version of the program now installed on my computer isn't even suggested as an option and when I browse for it, the file wont open with it anyway

    On Windows (don't know about Mac), the latest version will always take over the file association, and become the default for indd files. It's impossible to change it.
    But there is a plugin for ID that makes this possible. Never tried it myself.

    You must contact iTunes support to get the problem resolved.
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
    If there is a problem with your account or payment info, you cannot
    download anything (including free apps or updates) until the matter
    is resolved.
    In countries where the iTunes Store only sells apps, the accepted payment methods are Visa, MasterCard, and American Express. Other payment types such as gift cards, store credit, monthly allowances, ClickandBuy, and PayPal are not accepted. Depending on your App Store country, prices may be listed in your local currency, US Dollars, or Euros.    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5552

  • HT1871 Hello i have one IPhone 4S and I use 3G net in my mobile sometime I have problem with temperature in my phone at the SIM card or battery how can I fix this problem. By update or version of 6.1.3

    Hello i have one IPhone 4S and I use 3G net in my mobile sometime I have problem with temperature in my phone at the SIM card or battery how can I fix this problem. By update or version of 6.1.3

    Could it be because the SIM card got damaged while I cut it to fit the IPhone?
    Very likely. Hard to believe the carrier in Mexico doesn't have a micro-SIM card available.
    Or somehow the Chinese carrier found out and locked it?
    No, which is not possible.
    What can I do? Get a new SIM and see if it works again?
    Get a micro-SIM from the carrier in Mexico that you don't have to manually cut down. If that carrier doesn't provide one, switch to another carrier that is not so low-budget.

  • I have bought an iMAC second hand but when updates to purchased (not by me) Apps I cannot download the updates as it is asking for the original owners password. How can I amend this or could I delete the Apps and download new ones in place under my email

    If the machine was upgraded to Lion 10.7.x by the original owner then you bought an illegal license of Lion and also of any other applications that the seller  said came pre-installed, this assumes the seller did not include original install media. In that case you need to contact the seller for the original install DVDs that came with the machine re-install up to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and then purchase Mountain Lion ($20) and the applications you want or need. If the seller cannot come up with the original install discs then you can buy them from a nominal cost from AppleCare..

  • I have a new laptop so I download again iTunes...the problem here is that I just got a cd and I tried to put it on my iPod and it won't let me, how can I fix this?

    The iPod sees the new computer as a new iTunes library. You can only sync with one iTunes library.  However, you can manage music among disfferent computers.  See:

    The pre-2006 iMacs this forum covers cannot run any higher than OS10.5.8, and Apple pretty much stopped pushing out any updates for anything other than the current version.
    If your iMac is a newer model (covered here: iMac (Intel) forum) you can run at least 10.6.8, available for purchase rather cheaply here:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    and it's possible you can run higher depending on your iMac variant. So find your iMac variant, please do "About this Mac" from your Apple menu and, in the resulting window, click the "More Info" button to get this screen:
    Please tell us the code name ans number for your computer in the line I've indicated with the red arrow. For an iMac, it will either be in the format, "PowerMacX,X" or "iMacX,X" depending on the age of your iMac. The trailing numbers where I put Xs will help us help you determine what exact variant you have and what upgrade options are available.
    Also tell us how much RAM is installed. Newer OS versions often need more RAM that older iMacs shipped with.

    I just updated the software on my iPad2 and now it's asking for my passcode but I never set one. How can I fix this?

    I fixed it!!
    While not connected to any USB cable I put the iPad in recovery mode.
    To do that turn the iPad completely off. Press and hold the home button while turning the iPad on, once you see the apple logo release the home button.
    Turn on your OS X mac after it boots up connect the USB from iPod to Mac. iTunes should start. If not launch itunes.
    Perform the factory restore process paying attention to all of the screen message windows. Then set up the ipad like it was new.

  • I noticed yesterday my Iphone 4s does not say verizon at the top anymore. I tried calling *228 and did both options mutiple times and it hasnt changed. Also when i go to settings general about the network tab says unavailable. how can i fix this

    Can you make and receive calls and texts? If you can, I wouldn't worry about it. If you can't, you may need to call Verizon. However, try this first. The 4S has a Vodafone SIM card in it for foreign travel. Try taking the SIM out and doing the *228 again. Once it activates properly, you should be able to put the SIM back for safe keeping. It's not used in the U.S.

    All I know is that I am about to do something I never thought I would, switch to Chrome.
