I tried updating Firefox, worked once, but i put it off, now I can't do it again
but it asked for a password so I closed the window and thought I'll get it later, but now when I click Apply Update, it just closes and then reopens to my homepage.
1. Download the installer for the latest version.

2. Locate your profile folder, then close Firefox. Click either the Firefox button or the File menu, and choose Exit.
* [[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data]]
3. Create a backup copy of the aforementioned profile folder.
4. Uninstall Firefox from the Windows Control Panel. '''DO NOT''' check the option to remove your Firefox personal data.
* [[Uninstall Firefox from your computer]]
5. Run the installer file you downloaded in the first step.
In the future, do not put off updating Firefox, at least not for such an extended period of time. You're still using the obsolete Firefox 6, which was released on August 16th 2011. It contains numerous security vulnerabilities that put your computer at risk.

does anyone know what to do next so I can continue to use the trial versions of cs4. It appears as I have been kicked out for good because I entered the serial number wrong. Spoke to a rep and they said this was not available to purchase online, as it is an older version, but I need the old version to use the halftone option they have on cs4. sure would appreciate some advice, thanks to anyone who might have the answer.
If the trial version is indicating it is no longer available and you need to enter the serial number to activate it then that is the end of the trial version for that machine. If you have another machine then that will be one way of getting the trial version running for another trial period.

I am running Parallels and Quickbooks on my macbook. After an unfortunate encounter with macprotector (I didn't install it) which I was able to get off my computer, I now cannot access Quickbooks. It is trying to open it (unsuccessfully) in my Disk Utility. Any suggestions?
I figured this out. There is an extra step now which I assume is from the iTunes update. There is an option below where you check to sync Audiobooks to 'Include Audiobooks from Playlists'. I checked the playlist f and now my book is all the way on my phone instead of just pretending.
Seems redundant but what do I know...At least I can listen to my book finally. -
can someone help me please?

Is Apple going to fix Safari 5.1.2? It has been a nightmare for since the update. I only had my Mac for a short period of time and didn't have the problem when I started. It all started when the update was loaded. It is puzzling when Mozilla FireFox works better, but slower than the Safari. I was told this browser was the best to use for Macs. I am not seeing it! I have empty the cache, reset Safari, and reset the prefences. I still can't images, server not found error, or best yet-not connected to the internet when the news ticker is running. What more can I do so I can make use of Safari? I am tired to reset and clear cache every time I wish to go browse.
Thank you!Hey, everbody:
I finally threw in the towel and called tech support since it is free for me for the moment after making my post this morning. They fix my Safari problem! First, they had me do a shut down and unplug the computer for 30 seconds. This idea didn't work for me. Then they had me go and change my DNS from my IP address that was listed to the following:
Go to System Preferences
Click on Network
Click Advance
Click on DSN
Under DSN Severs there is a plus sign. Click on it.
Type: 8.8.8.8
Add another by clicking the plus sign and Type: 8.8.4.4
Go back to the beginning--main page and push the Apply button and then close.
Open Safari to see if that works
This works! So far my Safari 5.1.2 is working like it was before the update on Lion and Safair package! I hope this will help some of you.
Thank you for trying to help me with my intitial question, but it turned out that I needed help from support and fix my DNS. This may not work for all of you, but I hope for some it can relieve the stress. -
I am now using v3.6.8 and tried updating to v7.01 but it does not seem to work. Went to control panel to remove all the old versions but Firefox was not listed there although Thunderbird is there. Please advise asap, thanks
I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong during the uninstall/reinstall process. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
In the Control Panel, Add/Remove programs, look for '''Mozilla Firefox'''. Make sure to save (do not delete) your personal settings when uninstalling.
If it isn't there, just try installing 3.6.23, which is the latest in the 3.6 family. You can download 3.6.23 here: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older
With respect to version 7.0.1, are you saying that the installation failed, or it seemed to work but it's nowhere to be found? -
Hi,
Firefox worked before, but one time my system crashed. When I rebooted, Firefox won't start anymore. All I got is a pop-up window, saying We're sorry. Firefox had a problem and crashed. We'll try to restore your tabs and windows when it restarts. Problem is it never restarts. When I press Restart Firefox button, I get the same message. I tried to reinstall Firefox, to make a new profile, rebooted the system, nothing works. What can be done ? Thank-you.Of course I checked firefox crashes. I searched and haven't found my problem. I used Firefox 5 when it happened, then, seeing it doesn't work no matter what I do, I upgraded to 6. The same problem. So it's not 5 or 6 related. Computer probably wrote something to hard disk when it crashed and now the file is corrupted and prevents Firefox from starting. I don't know what file (or part of the registry) is. I could erase everything, but that would mean I will lose every Firefox settings and I don't want that. Now I am using Google Chrome to write this. I miss my Firefox. :( What else can I do ?
This is the error I get when I try to start Firefox: -
the right windows, to create pdf, proof shett etc, is disappearance. I tried with restore work areas, but nothing, I have update the program but not solution...what can I do?? I have photoshop CS6 permanent licence for win 7
I did try to uninstall and reinstall. It messed up my computer. I had to "RESTORE" from the prior days backup. This was not helpful at all. I'm used to losing all my stuff when I connect to iTunes, that's a whole other issue, but now I'm completely banned from any updates to my phone at all. Geeze.......

Tried updating firefox but it is not compatible with leopard op. If I try to re-install the older version will my bookmarks still be there?
Current Firefox versions require a Mac with an Intel processor and OS X 10.6.
Firefox 16 is the last version that runs on Intel Mac OS X 10.5.
You would have to update to OS X 10.6 to be able to use current Firefox releases.
Last Firefox for Mac OS X 10.5:

I have iphone 4 os 7.04, tried updating to 7.1, but continously shows error that I dont have working internet connection, though I have one and tried via wifi and 3g same error comes. The update has been downloaded, the page shping license agreement comes. As soon as I press agree, it asks me to wait for verification and then this error that there is no working internet connection comes, even though I have one and it works fine
Try these steps as needed:
Reset phone: press both the home and power buttons, releasing when the Apple logo appears
Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. You will have to re-enter WiFi passwords

Link to tabbed panel works once, but not again
I have successfully linked from text in one tabbed panel to open another panel on the same page, using SpryURLUtils.js.
<a href="?tab=2#TabbedPanels1">
var TabbedPanels1 = new Spry.Widget.TabbedPanels("TabbedPanels1", {defaultTab: params.tab ? params.tab : 0});
When I return to the panel containing the link, the link no longer functions. So basically, it will work once, but not twice.
Thoughts on what's happening?The example that you gave is great for opening a tab in a new page.To open panels on the same page see here http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/tabbedpanels/tabbed_panel_sample.htm
