I selected No to Firefox being able to change my computer settings/hardware and it would not continue to download after this point. Why?

I have bought a new laptop and was trying to download Firefox as my preferred browser. The process started but it asked me if I wanted Firefox to change settings in my computer and was defaulted to 'No' which I accepted. After this point it appeared to stop the download.
Can you help?

If you install a new program then that program needs to make changes to the computer by installing files and updating registry keys. Vague messages like that won't help to know which settings need to be changed. It is possible that only adding or changing registry keys is causing it in this case.

Firefox automatically updated on my home computer last week and I have not been able to log on to Firefox since. I get a crash notice immediately.

It always updates automatically but this time it seems that Firefox won't work at all now. I cannot log in to even send this to you. I had to come to work to do it so I don't have a crash ID here because I didn't know I needed it. I have only used Firefox for several years now and am upset that this update messed it all up.I used to use Thunderbird also (which I loved) but I have over 750 e-mails that can't seem to download (they downloaded from the server, but couldn't get into Thunderbird. The first message took over 10 minutes...so I don't use it either because all my messages line up after those 750. Nobody can seem to fix that either)

Try a SMC reset:

My iPod Touch is not charging even while being plugged in. I tried rebooting it and it's not working still

My iPod Touch is not charging while being plugged in the computer or the wall! It shows that it is plugged in and it goes back and forth from the Apple screen to it being plugged in, but it's been hours and it's not charging at all. This is my first time dealing with this. Has this happened to anyone?

I just put it on an iPod dock to charge and it worked that way instead! I guess it has more power charging it that way then a plug in the wall or plugging it into the computer. THANK GOD! I don't want to lose what I have on it!

CS6 Camera Raw - I can now only crop using aspect ratio in the custom crop setting rather than being able to set the dims in cm and inches? anyone know how to revert? ever since installing new mac operating system things have been strange!

Hi Kglad.
I have looked at all of my settings both in Bridge and CS6 Photoshop regarding Camera Raw. I am at a loss how to set the crop tool in cm or inches as I once did - now the only option is to crop using ratios of 1:1 etc etc - This is infuriating as lots of my square crops I could set at 10" x 10'' specifically to print one to one to fit frame and mount size -
Now if cropping using bloody aspect ratio of 1:1 (square) the actual dims of the crop are roughly 4.25 inches x 4.25 inches. this means I then have to open the whole image in photoshop in order to crop at the dims I have set! It was so much quicker in terms of batch cropping in camera raw being able to set dims in centimetres and inches but they have gone and mucked around with it, with the new bloody update! Unless you are an absolute genius and know how I can go back to having an option of CM, Inches and aspect ratio within the custom crop settings? (Please say you do)
here is the new tutorial for CC - my guess is they have scrapped the control we had over the custom crop settings

I saw a post on how to load iMovie 6 without deleting iMovie 9 or iLife 11 I can't find the post now does anyone know if this is possible. I do not want risk not being able to reload iMovie 9 it appears that I would have to reload the whole iLife suit

Could have been mine!
Happily this is easily achieved, but it has to be done backwards.
Delete iMovie 9 (just drag it to the trash). Now install iMovie 6 from the iLife 6 install disks.
Now re-install iMovie 9. This automatically moves iMovie 6 into a folder it creates in your Applications folder called iMovie Previous Version.
Now you have them both, and you can have both in the Dock as well.
Alternatively you could try this method, suggested by poster Uitech:
Open a terminal and type "touch /Library/Preferences/com.apple.iLife08.plist"
(No quotes)
Install iMovieHD6 from the iLife 6 install disk.
This works with both Leopard and Snow Leopard Macs.

I would select a link from the drop down on the address bar but the page would not open. I would select it again but the page does not open. I could only reach website by selecting google on most visited list.

After updating AVG anti-virus, I encountered a problem on Firefox. I would select a link from the drop down on the address bar but the page would not open after clicking on it. I would select it again, even double click, but the page does not open. I could only reach website by selecting google or yahoo from my dropdown on the most visited list and then click the website that I want to visit. I would like to do this in one step by just selecting a link from my history on the address bar and select a link instead of going to google and then writing the page I want to visit. What could be the problem? When going to the address bar to select a link to open, why does the site not open? Any help would be appreciated.

When I close firefox, it will not allow me reopen it unless I CTRL-ALT-DLT and force it to actually close, which at this point it is using up an average of 300,000k-450,000k. also, almost none of the links I click, open. i have to open it in a new tab.

Would love to be able to change the Standby settings.

I would love to be able to change the Standby settings on my itouch. Particularly when I have my itouch plugged into a charging unit or computer. I would like the standby to not turn off my itouch screen when it has external power. Is there a way to do this?

Well, hopefully a developer can help and update the device to allow us to do just that. Perhaps one can tell us if they might consider working on just such an option. I mean seriously, if it's plugged in I want an option as to whether the screen should go off or not on me. I don't think it's an unreasonable request and it's probably not that hard to implement. I'm not a developer however, so how should I know.
Sorry for not referring to the device correctly (Julian), but I don't really care what it's called. I just want it to work better. I did however refer to it closely enough that you knew what I was talking about.
I can't be the only one that would like it to do what I asked.

You are trying to find a loophole to circumvent a basic rule that prohibits the transfer of purchased content from one Apple ID to another.
Content tied to an Apple ID are bound to that Apple ID forever. You can not merge or trade accounts. Well, not (officially) anyway...

After upgrading iOS 7 on my iPhone 5, the wifi is not working . It cannot detect any wifi nor am I able to enable wifi under settings. Is there a way for me to fix this?

Hi samer almasri,
If you are having issues with enabling Wifi on your iPhone you may want to try a couple of things to troubleshoot. First of all I would quit all open applications on the phone and try again. See this previous thread for how -
How do I close apps on my iPhone with iOS 7?
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5581063
Next, I would try restarting the iPhone -

If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -

restore or reset your ipod. there is a problem with ipods atm so the best you can do is wait if neither restoring or reseting works.

My firefox webpage now opens up as a whole page and I am not able to see any any menu bars

All of a sudden my firefox webpage now opens in the whole window and I am not able to see any menu bars in the top or the "start" icon in the bottom of the screen

Toggle Full Screen mode on/off with F11 -- very useful keyboard shortcut.

I have loaded the new Flash version into Firfox several times, but none of my sites recognize it when using Firefox. It works fine on all other browsers, but I would prefer to use Firfox if this problem can be solved.

I use Firefox 4.0.1 on a Mac running Os X10.5.8. When I try to run Facebook or other sites that are heavy users of Flash I get a message that the new version of Flash must be loaded. I have loaded the latest version several times, but still get the message and these sites will not run on Firefox. The sites run fine with Safari or Chrome but I prefer to use Firefox if it can be made to run these sites. Thank you for any suggestions you have to help fix this problem.

Apparently it's related to the Firefox plug in.
This isn't exactly a solution but more of a way to avoid opening PDFs with Firefox's plug in.
1. Highlight "Tools" from the Menu Bar in the top left of the screen (or click "Options" if using the Firefox Compact Menu)
2. Select to "Options
3. Select "Applications"
4. Look for "Adobe Acrobat Document" under Content Type and to the right under Action select "Use Adobe Reader (default)" instead of the using Adobe Acrobat in Firefox
5. Open a test PDF. It should open in it's own window now.
Again, not a complete solution but something that'll at least let you scroll with PDFs open.

Firefox (7 and up) does not remember last download foler

Prior to firefox 7, downloaded images would continue to be saved in the same user selected folder until the user changed to location.
Firefox 7 and above changes this folder location when changing to different web pages. It appears as if firefox is attempting to determine the best folder to use based on past browsing history.
Will this be fixed, or an option added to disable this? It's very disruptive when surfing for different content and always having to check the folder before downloading.

You will have to wait a few version to have the pref browser.download.lastDir.savePerSite available to disable this new feature.
*Bug 536503 - Last downloaded-to directory should be remembered on a site-by-site basis
*Bug 702748 - Use a pref for disabling per-site remembering of download directory

Downloaded firefox to new windows 7 computer and system would not restart, windows repair deleted firefox to fix the problem

When in started my new windows 7 computer I loaded office and a couple of other programs that I wanted. I then tried to download firefox. When I restarted the computer the system startup failed and all the windows options to repair or open in safe mode failed. I reloaded windows 7 and didn't load any other software then tried to download firefox and the restart failed. However, windows repair did a fix and I was able to restart but noticed that windows had deleted firefox. What is going on and how do I get firefox to load without causing problems?

What likely happened is Windows did a System Restore, which removed Firefox and everything that had been installed after.
Try starting up Windows, install Firefox. Then Restart, then install everything else one at a time. If Windows fails to start up after one install, you know that's the problem.

I selected No to Firefox being able to change my computer settings/hardware and it would not continue to download after this point. Why?
