  • I have downloaded Firefox 5 but am still am getting frequent remineders to upload ner security app. When I click all I get is about downloading the general program. I do not see anything for just updating security. What am I supposed to do?

    I have downloaded Firefox 5 twice. Now I am getting an e-mail telling me to download the new security attachments. When I click it what I get is downloading Firefox 5. I do not not see anything about downloading a new attachment for security purposes. When I click downloading Firefox 5 I am told that I already have it. How do get just the security component.

    Firefox does not send emails to users about anything. Who is the sender of that email? It's probably a scam. You have Firefox 4.0.1 as indicated in your System details. You might want to scan your Mac with anti-virus/spywares programs to make sure no malwares and/or spywares were installed. That could have explained why you received such email.
    FYI, Even if your email has an attachment, you should never open it unless it's being sent from someone you know.
    And are these reminders come in the form of emails or pop-ups? If they are emails, I'll report them as spams and delete them.

    Are there any dialog boxes popping up behind your Yahoo screen?
    I have intermittent problems attaching files in Yahoo mail and this is usually the reason.  I'm also using an iMac (10.7.3) and this is likely the problem.
    It is generally a Yahoo issue rather than a Mac problem.

  • I have downloaded Firefox but it will not open. I have tried several times to install and then uninstall, but it still does not work.

    We used to use Firefox..but for whatever reason it stopped opening. We uninstalled it and we found that the old version of Firefox would open but it would straight away update to the new version and then the problems would begin again and it would not open.

    Using another browser, download the FULL installer from
    '''[http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/ Download Firefox Full Installer For All languages And Systems]''' {web link}
    Save the file. Then;
    Using your file browser, open the '''Programs''' folder on your computer.
    '''Windows:''' C:\Program Files
    C:\Program Files (x86)
    '''Mac:''' Open the "Applications" folder.
    '''Linux:''' Check your user manual.
    Look for, and rename any Mozilla and Firefox folders by adding '''.old''' to them.
    Now run the full installer.

  • I have downloaded firefox but it will not launch why?

    I had Firefox and it crashed. It would never launch again. I then removed it from my laptop and restarted. I then downloaded it again. Same results. What is going on? Today I downloaded again and it launched but now when I open my computer again, it will not launch.

    I'm not sure if it came up while you were posting your question, but there are several troubleshooting suggestions in this article: [[Firefox won't start - find solutions]].
    Could you try starting Firefox in its Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
    Hold down the Shift key when starting Firefox. A small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
    Will Firefox start up?
    Sometimes a strict "program control" firewall or malware will stop Firefox from running. You can investigate these possibilities further using the steps/tools in these articles:
    * [[Configure firewalls so that Firefox can access the Internet]]
    * [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]

    I use windows LiveMail - can I download or import my contacts?

    You can set up a hotmail exchange account on your phone to sync your contacts, as explained here: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/32784/sync-hotmail-with-your-iphone-or-ipod-touch -with-exchange-activesync/.  If you then want these to sync with iCloud, you will have to use an app like Speed Names to move or copy the contacts to your iCloud group, then turn iCloud your exchange syncing for contacts Off and iCloud syncing for contacts to On (in settings>iCloud) and when prompted, choose Merge.  (iCloud only syncs contacts in the iCloud group.)

  • How can i use the apps i have downloaded on itunes

    how can i use the apps i have downloaded on itunes

    Apps downloaded through iTunes will only run on iOS devices such as iPhones, iPod Touch, and iPads. Plug your device into your computer, open iTunes, and click on it in the bar either at the top or the left side. Then, click apps at the top, and click install next to the app you want installed.
    If you are looking for apps to run on your Mac, you need to download them through the Mac App Store, not through iTunes.

    I'm using windows 7, trying to download pictures from my canon 5d mark 2, but when I click import, the camera does not appear. I've tried changing USB ports, switching the camera on and off, trying a different USB cord, tried a different camera, but nothing. Please help! This problem only started a few days ago on lightroom 3.6, upgraded to 5.5, but still not working. Thanks.

    Can you see the Canon EOS camera and image files using Windows Explorer? If not disconnect the camera, close all applications' shutdown Windows, and TURN OFF the power to your system and ALL connected devices. Disconnect all phones, iPads, and any other USB devices and restart your system.
    Retry Windows Explorer and see if your camera is showing. If so try LR import again.

  • If I cancel my membership will I still be able to use the products I have downloaded?

    Hi,
    I am wondering about buying a adobe creative cloud membership but I want to know if I will still be able to use the producats I have downloaded if I do decide to cancel.

    No.
    Other than the initial 30 day trial period, you can only use the software if you're a paid up member.
    It's a subscription service. As a subscriber you can use the software. When you cancel, you lose access until you re-join.

  • I have downloaded Firefox 5 but I keep getting told that I can't run certain programs (egEvernote Web Clipper) because I am using Firefox 3

    I accepted the offer to download Firefox 5 and followed all the instructions. Everything seemed to be ok until I tried to install the Evernote Web Clipper. I was then told that I was running Firefox 3.xxx...
    If I have downloaded Firefox 5 how do I make sure I am running 5 and not my earlier version?

    Please do the following.
    Click '''Help '''| '''Check For Updates'''. The option to update should appear and version 3.6.17 should download and install.
    However, sometimes things go pear-shaped and you get version 3.5.19. If that happens, repeat the same steps to update to 3.6.17.
    Once you have 3.6.17 installed, you'll get the opportunity to update to the current version which is 4.0.1 ''Please don't do that for the moment because you first of all have to update your plugins''. To do the latter, please do the following.
    Go to http://www.java.com/en/ and install the latest version of Java.
    Update Adobe Shockwave for Director via http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/
    Update Adobe Flash via http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

    For security details regarding the Adobe updates, see: http://www.adobe.com/support/security/advisories/apsa11-02.html
    Once you've updated all those, go to '''Help '''| '''Check For Updates '''again to update to version 4.0.1

  • Hi, i have a new toshiba laptop with windows 7 home edition K and first thing i did was download firefox but it does not open... thank you!

    Laptop is L630 and i bought it in Korea, language base is korean/english. I downloaded firefox first but it was US-english, so i uninstalled it and re-installed the uk-english version. Before that I set a persona on firefox 9the only add-on i was in time to set)
    When i click on the icons it does not launch...
    I tried several tiime to relaunch the PC but so far no change...

    I can't think of any way to make the Navigation Toolbar appear/disappear based on which direction you move your mouse.
    Well, there is full screen view, where the whole toolbar area including the tab bar slides up off the screen, and reappears if you slide the mouse pointer all the way to the top. (You can use the F11 key to turn full screen view on and off.)
    Is it possible this is an option of one of your extensions?

  • I have downloaded all my music from the cloud to my new iPhone and created playlists so I can listen to it when not it wifi like when on a plane. If I turn on iTunes Match will I still have this music still downloaded?

    I have downloaded all my music from the cloud to my new iPhone and created playlists so I can listen to it when not it wifi like when on a plane. If I turn on iTunes Match will I still have this music still downloaded? The online information suggests all my music will be replaced. Will I have to download it again??

    What you have on your computer is your iTunes library, not an iTunes "account."  The account that is related to iTunes is your Apple ID, which you use to sign in to the iTunes Store and make purchases.  It is also used with iCloud.  iPods (that are not iPod touch) are associated with your iTunes library, not to your Apple ID.
    So, I think you probably just need to set up (or update) automatic syncing for the iPod.  If it's not set up to sync those new songs, iTunes still syncs the iPod, but it syncs nothing
    In iTunes, if the sidebar (along left side of iTunes window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.  In the sidebar, the iPod appears under DEVICES, when it is connected.
    Select the iPod in iTunes.  There is a row of buttons, starting with Summary.  Click on Music next to Summary.  This is the iPod's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
    Check the box for Sync Music (if it's not already checked).  If your iTunes music library fits completely on the iPod, you can choose to sync Entire music library.  Otherwise, you can choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres.  On the lists below, checkmark the playlists, artists, albums, and/or genres that you want on the iPod.  When you click Apply, the songs from your selection sync to the iPod.
    One convenient way to set this up (if you can't sync the entire iTunes music library) is to create a new playlist in your iTunes library.  Name it "iPod Songs" (or whatever you want).  Put ALL songs that you want on the iPod on this playlist, including those new songs.  Back on the iPod's Music screen in iTunes, select this playlist under Playlists.  Going forward, to update songs on the iPod, just update that playlist in your iTunes library (add/remove songs).  The next time you connect the iPod (or click the Sync button), iTunes automatically syncs the same changes to the iPod.

  • I have error when i have downloaded firefox the error is 0x77372245

    when I have downloaded firefox i have this error message coming in 0x77372245 i have deleted the software uploaded again but still the same. please help.

    Hello, which firefox version have you downloaded?
    Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
    You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
    Then perform these steps:
    *Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
    *In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
    *In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
    *Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
    Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
    [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
    [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.
