I try to launch forefox but it says it is already running and will not load.

I try to lauch firefox but I get an error message saying that the programme is already running. I need to close the program and re-start. However the programme is not actually running.
I can however launch firefox as an administrator but thsi is theonly way. I have unistalled it then re installed it but with no success. I still get the error message. I have now uninstalled it again.

Check out the "Firefox Hangs" support article, section on "hang at exit": https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+hangs#Hang_at_exit
I'm an XP user, so you might search around for threads by Vista users who might have suggestions on how to resolve this.

This article notes several other possible explanations, including malware: [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox.exe_always_open Firefox.exe always open - MozillaZine Knowledge Base]

When I try to reinstall an app that was on my iTouch, Itunes tells me the app can't be found. When I try and redownload it itunes says it's already downloaded and will not let me try again.

This is an itouch gen 4. I'm open to for answers. Thanks!

Hello,
I checked the restrictions setting and that is off.
The wording that comes up is:
Some of the apps in your iTunes library were not installed on the iPod 'Leon's iPod" because one or more errors occurred.
For a list of apps that could not be installed. click the + below.
The app "YouTube" was not installed on the iPod "Leon'siPod" because the app could not be found.
Thats it, all be you can say 'ok' or More information' which opens a window with some things to try, like update iTouch software, reset iTouch, chech with vendor.

HP 7280 all-in-one says ink cartridges are empty and will not print from PC, but it copies fine.

Replaced 2 ink cartridges in hp 7280 but still says both cartridges are empty and will not print from PC, but it will copy fine. When I try to print I get a error box that says "Ink cartridges empty - replace black and yellow ink cartridges to continue." They are brand new - just bought them - expiration date Sep 2015. Have tried rebooting and disconnecting and reconnecting everything. Same error, but it still will do color copies fine - all cartridges are working. Help?!

Hi tfmartin,
I understand you have a Photosmart C7280 that you are unable to print to from your computer. I'm sorry to hear about this, but I will certainly do my best to assist you in resolving this issue.
Before I can offer any suggestions I do need to know which version of Windows or Mac that you're using and how the printer is connected (wireless or USB). Once I have that information I should be able to help you better. In the meantime, if you're using Windows, please download and run the HP Print and Scan Doctor to see if it can assist with the issue at hand
Hope to hear back from you soon! Have a great day

I have download a video on my iPhone but want to watch it on my iPad which both are connected to the same iTunes account but it hasn't shared to my iPad !?? When I try to download on my iPad says I've already purchased and would I like to buy again ?

Movies are not part of the automatic downloads feature. Apps, music and books only.
If you live in the U.S. you can download many Movies again for free using the same Apple ID that you bought the movie with. If you do not live in the U.S, that feature is not available. Not all Movies are available at this time either.
You can transfer the movie to iTunes on your computer and then sync it to the iPad if you like.

Check in the Task Manager (XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC, Processes tab) if there are hanging Firefox processes.
If you see any ''firefox.exe'' processes then click the End button to end those Firefox processes.

I try to open Firefox. Get error message saying Firefox is already running and needs to close - another error message say Firefox can't open

Turned on laptop (rebooted) after being away from it for a few hours. Went to open my home page. Error message popped up saying Firefox is already running and must be closed. I closed it and another error message popped up saying Firefox can't open - incomplete or missing files.
I went into Processes to close Firefox. Selected 'end process' but nothing happened.
Tried to use Internet Explorer but it just gets hung up. Cannot access anything.
And, because I can't open Firefox, I can't go a refresh.
Everything was working just fine a few hours ago.
Any thoughts?

What is the computer system and Firefox on the bad computer?
Separate Issue;
Your System Details on this computer shows;
Multiple versions of your Adobe programs.
Having more than one version of a program may cause issues.
Go to '''adobe.com''' and download the full installers after removing
all of the old programs.
Start '''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Firefox in Safe Mode]''' {web Link} by holding down the '''<Shift><br> ''(Mac Options)'' ''' key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?
This is not a cure but will make it easier if Firefox locks up in Windows.

I can call my ipad with my iphone alll the time. That's how I check up on my kids at home when I"m at work. You just set up to your iphone's facetime setting with your phone number and set up your ipad's facetime settings with your apple id (in this case it's your email)

I recently got a charging case for my iPhone 5s, but it says it isn't certified and may not work reliably with my iPhone. What can I do to fix it?

Buy one that is certified. Your current case might work without problems, and then might stop working in the future. iOS 7 is especially "sensitive" to uncertified peripherals. With this iOS release they have started to clamp down on "pirate" peripherals.

I bought a song, and it says the file is corrupted and will not download what should i do?

I bought a song, and it says the file is corrupted and will not download what should i do?

If you see the "Purchased" option on the main screen of the iTunes Store, here's what I'd do:
1) Go into your library and delete the file if it downloaded. If not, go to your downloads and delete it from there to stop it from download.
2) Go to the Purchased pane in the main iTunes Store section, locate the item, and try the download again.
Also, you may wish to turn off any anti-virus or anti-malware programs before you try this again, as that sometimes is what can be blocking the download. Otherwise, contact iTunes Store Support:

Redirected to Store and searched for The Fish. Description came up, pressed Download, message: you have previously purchased this book, go to Purchased and press Download. Followed instructions and message: you have previously purchased....... I'm in a loop.

Hi there.
Thank you very much for your quick reply, it's really appreciated.
No need to apologize, I actually found the phrase "If your iPad ever craps the bed" amusing under the circumstances
I checked the list of installed apps like you suggested (Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Show all apps) but this problem app is not in the list. I have also swiped down on the home screen to search for it, but again it does not show.
While it has not let me download the app (and I just tried it again) it has helped me to eliminate a few things from the list of what to try, and I can definitely conclude that it has not downloaded.
I guess I need to fire up my PC and download it / sync my iPad.
Thanks again for your help

Adobe elements 13 says I have no internet.and will not register.

I have Adobe Elements 13,says I have no internet,and will not activate.

Having the same problem. Done everything said in here Sign in, activation, or connection errors | CS5.5 and later but nothing helps, I have reinstalled this twice. I have taken firewall and virusprotection off (never going to do that again, terrible mess...).
I have paid nearly €80 (yes, this cost´s here in Europe this much) for this upgrade DVD and worked for several hours trying to install this. I must say, that I am extreamly disappointed.

I am trying to update my software through the app store but for some reason an error occurs and will not allow me to do so

I am trying to update my software through the app store but for some reason an error occurs and will not allow me to do so. And when i go online to log into my apple id account it states that there is an error. Can someone help me solve this issue, its annoying me?

Apple’s having trouble with the iTunes Store servers right now. Wait for them to resolve the issue.
