I've tried for many months to install the new 4.0 and it goes through download but never changes to newest version, and now it says that 3.6 will only be available for a short time longer.

Every time I log on, Firefox states that I am using the older version, and that I need to update to the 4.0, though today I saw something that said 7.0 so wasn't sure what that was about. Anyway, my program states upon the install, "Save Program". So I do and then it still doesn't take effect. Now your site states that the 3.6 will soon be no longer available for updates etc, but you new version never loads or takes effect??? Help please. I love firefox and feel much safer using this than anything in the past! Thanks in advance. I am old, but a novice at computers. So, laymen terms appreciated. Yours truly, Norine Mungo

If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version and delete the Firefox program folder to remove any leftover files.
* Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 7.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version.
* Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
* Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • PSE 6 for Mac, how to install the new layer mask tool

    I just bought the new PSE 6 for Mac, whew what a change in the color of workspace.
    My classmates and I are wondering how to install the free layer mask tool that Sue Chastain has on her About site.
    Or perhaps first, has anyone used it and do you like it?
    Do you put it here?

    Havent been to this great forum for a while, been busy, I miss you all, and shall try to visit more often.
    I remember when I was a beginner at this, I learned so much here and you all were amazing help!
    Thanks,

    Hi Barbara,
    Its this one,
    http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/pselements/p/layermasks.htm
    So I assumed afterwards that it wasn't for Mac. So I went ahead and installed the older action for my PSE 4.
    I was hoping it was platform agnostic, but when I looked at this, the difference between the 2 versions,
    http://www.jcarter.net/mac-stuff/previewfolder-missing.jpg
    Not knowing where the Previews folder was, threw me overboard.
    And I didn't read all the way down Sue's page, as my old brain got ahead of my eyes.
    So I really dont know what to do next with this, some of my classmates are wondering the same thing.
    Thank you,

  • I am trying to download FireFox for Vista and it gets to the RUN screen, I click on it and it seems to download but never actually gets loaded????

    I tried to download Firefox for Vista. It gets to the run screen, I hit run, it seems to download but then the window dissappears and I still don't have Firefox installed. I have tried this several times.

    Don't use '''Run''', save the Firefox setup file and do the installation separately from the download.

  • I purchased IPod touch for grandson and he has screwed up his ICloud and cannot remember email or password used to do the original setup. Now receiving message that no more ICloud accounts are available for this unit. Is there a way to work through this?

    Grandson and friend just reset system several times and now neither can remember which email account or password was used to set up the ICloud account. I try to set up the account for him again and receive the message that no more accounts are available. I cannot reset because just like them, I don't know what they used. Surely, there must be some way to wipe out their settings and start fresh again?

    Just connect to itunes and restore the ipod, when the restore is complete set it as a new ipod. Your problem must be resolved.

    about:crashes only lists crashes that you have reported using the [[Mozilla Crash Reporter]] which comes up after a crash. Because there are so many possible reasons for a crash, getting the crash ID really helps volunteers find the cause quicker.
    That doesn't mean we can't help without a crash id. :-) No crashes here, but I'm also on Snow Leopard and using Firefox 3.6.6.
    Are you using Firefox 3.6.6? The most common cause of crashes on Mac is the Flash plugin. Are you using the latest version of Flash? You can check at http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
    Do you remember any specific circumstances about when the crash occurred? What sites you were on?

  • TS1394 What can I do to install the Adobe Flash player? It seems to download, but then no save as or install options appears.

    That is my question. The Adobe Flash Player does not download and give me a screen to finish the download. Any online articles, forms, etc that I want to view-my screen goes black. Is it the Plug-ins are missing? What are plug-ins. Be nice.

    Once it's installed, be aware that it's not a standalone player - it's a browser plugin which installs in Macintosh HD > Library > Internet Plug-ins and is accessible to all browsers.
    And you are downloading directly from Adobe aren't you? Never trust pop-ups on websites that say you need a plug-in.

  • ITunes is not updating for many months, stuck on v12.0.0.140

    Hello,
    For many months now, when I start iTunes it tells me there is an update. I click the Download iTunes button. The App Store then opens, but there are never any iTunes update listed in there for me to download and install.
    So I am still on 12.0.0.140, and iTunes indicates there is an update to 12.1.2
    What should I do?
    Thank you

    Oh, never mind. Numerous times I looked for a direct download of iTunes, and always ended up back on App Store. Just now I found someone posted this link, and I have 12.1.2 download as I type this. I suspect that means this problem is finally solved.
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    I have no idea why I was unable to find that link before when looking through apple.com — it's pretty clear and obvious. Usual story... spent hours looking for answer to issue. Resort to finally posting a question. Voila... next moment the answer appears where previously none was found.
