I updated Firefox on my Mac (10.6.8), and now history is not remembered (that option is checked) and the back button won't work. Help?

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Help! Safari keeps telling me my Mac has a virus and now the back button won't work. Do I really have a virus and what should I do to fix the problem?

Yesterday my MacBook Pro began running slower and now Safari continues to be redirected to a page saying 'WARNING: Your PC maybe INFECTED. Call TECH SUPPORT at 800-797-0153 to clean your computer. www.consumeronlineservices.com'.
The back button in Safari now refuses to work, and I'm unsure if this is a problem with Safari or my laptop (honest to God, I know nothing about computers). Anyways, I tried to call the number given, but there was no answer, and I'm assuming this is the actual virus itself.
How can I get my laptop running back to normal? Is there a way to check for a virus and remove it?
Thanks!

Do not respond to that message. There are no known viruses on OSX systems. What you are seeing is a total scam.
Open Safari then go to Preferences>Privacy. Remove all Cookies and Website data. Set the Block Cookies option to Block 3rd Parties and Advertisers:
If needed, click on "Reset Safari" under the Safari menu:

I updated my iPad to ios 6.1 and now all my notes are gone. Can you get them back?

I updated my I pad to iOS 6.1 and now all my notes are gone. Can you get them back?

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Offand, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"
If these do not solve the problem you can restore from a current iTunes or iCloud backup.

The back button won't activate till the second change. I have uninstalled and removed all directories for firefox still won't work after reintall

I have firefox 3.6 installed and have been using it for years. All the sudden last week the back button wouldn't work till I go to the second web address change. For example if I start at forums.sagetv.com and select a post I can't hit the back button till I select another article. I have uninstalled firefox deleted all the directories, rebooted and reinstalled the problem still comes back.

I started having this EXACT same issue a few day ago. I found out that it was the McAfee site advisor causing the problem. Click the Tools drop-down and select add-ons. In the add-ons window, click the Extensions panel. Select McAfee and disable it.
Hope this helps, Arielle!

I updated to new ios and now it is not syncing properly. New songs are not showing up on the ipod display but when I view the device on my computer, they are in the playlist but there is a dashed circle beside the missing songs. It previously synced perfectly before the IOS update. How can i revert back to the previous installed version?

Downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple.

I just updated itunes and now it will not recognize that my iphone is even pluged in! What do I do??

I just downloaded the new itunes and now it wont recognize my iphone! I really need to update it! is there a way to make it show up?

See the tt2 user tips for help:Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates

I am not able to update firefox on my mac 10.7.5. I am also not able to download the newest version.

I get notices indicating the there are upgrades available but whenever I try to update, it fails. The box showing the update just runs and runs, but never completes. This has happened numerous times. I have Firefox 9.0.1 and it says I am currently on the release update channel. I don't know what that means.

If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then best is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox application and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
*Firefox 22.0: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
*Trash the current Firefox application (e.g. open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re-)install
*Install the new version that you have downloaded
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Installing+Firefox+on+Mac
Your personal data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox profile folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data when you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

I am trying to download Firefox to my Mac (O10 - 6.8). In repeated tries, I can't get it to download - the download command doesn't work.

I tried downloading Firefox onto my desktop, a Mac OS10, version 6.8. The download command on your site isn't working, neither is the alternate choice mentioned in the text of your message.
I deleted your site and application recently, since it got hung up while trying to update to a new Firefox version, as you recommended. Today, I was just trying to start over.

Help! The App Store was telling me to update my apps so I did an 'update all'. Half way through they stopped and now I have some apps that are greyed out and I cants open them or delete them. What do I do?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Hey Pagevc86,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like you might have some apps that seem to be stuck on "Waiting." The following is a past discussion that dealt with a similar issue and may help you as well:
App updates won't download on my...: Apple Support Communities
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4111336
Try tapping the App, so that it changes to Paused instead of Waiting, then tap it again to resume the install.
Make sure you don't have any paused downloads in other apps either, like the App Store or iTunes Store.
If that doesn't do it, try resetting or restoring the iPhone.
Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
Sincerely,
Delgadoh

Firefox was working and now ir will not Start. When I click on the Icon nothing happans.

I have been using Firefoz for several months. It will not start now. I click on the icon and nothing happens. I'm running Windows 7.

Did you reinstall from backups, or www.Mozilla.org?

After my update to version 4, the back button now only seems to store the last page I was on rather than the last 10 like it used to before the update. I've scoured the options menu to no avail. How can I get the back button working like it used to?

The back button used to work many times before it would reach the end of its list of pages I had been to recently and became greyed out, but now it will only work once before this happens. Also, the list of pages that pops up when I right click it now only has two entries no matter how many pages I've visited on that tab, the page I am currently on and the page I most recently left. Previous to the installation of the update to version 4 however, the list that appeared when I right clicked on the back button contained up to 10 items.

Try the Firefox SafeMode. 
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most other Add-ons.''
# You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
# Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. 
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.

The back button is there but never works. It didn't open in a new tab or window but the back button isn't functioning. I just downloaded Firefox 5.

Actually, all my details are in that looong question I asked. ; )
I am ready to go back to 3.6 or whatever version I had because 4 and 5 have had these issues. I tried 4 before but now that I have 5 and the same issue, I remember that I saw this before.
As I was typing this note, I looked up and saw the back button is actually working on this site. Weird.
Also, there isn't a button next to the back and forward so I can see my history. Where is that, now? Sometimes, I want to go back 3 or 4 pages at once without loading each page the slow way. Awww, what am I saying? You all know what I mean. :\
I am using Windows 7 and have been using Firefox for years, so I am familiar with it and it is my only browser of choice so I hope someone can help me. Thanks in advance.

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?

I downloaded 4.0 when prompted, but it did not open upon completion and now shortcut does not work and cannot find file to run 4.0 in the firefox folder. Tried restarts and reinstalling 3.6 which now also won't work for me. Ideas?

I downloaded 4.0 when prompted yesterday. Seemed to download normally but did not automatically start following download even though that option was checked. The shortcut now is broken and efforts to fix it fail because the file cannot be found. Checked the firefox folder and do not see a file to run firefox. Tried restarting twice with no luck. Then tried multiple times to reinstall 4.0 with no success. Then tried uninstalling and reinstalling 3.6 with same result.

OK. Got it figured out. Disabled my virus scanning software and the download worked perfectly. Should have thought of that before now.

I updated to iTunes 10.7 and now iTunes does not see my iPod Touch. It says the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver cannot be installed.

I updated to iTunes 10.7 and now iTunes does not see my iPod touch. After the update I got a message that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver could not be installed. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes 3 times, but still cannot fix the problem. I have followed the suggested fixes in Apple Support. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Try the actions here for that driver.
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would first do this:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

I updated Firefox on my Mac (10.6.8), and now history is not remembered (that option is checked) and the back button won't work. Help?
