I want to delete 4.o entirely, but I get message saying I must reboot to complete a previous upgrade: clicking restart results in perpetual hang, Any solutions?

Windows XP. Mozilla update says I successfully downloaded 4.0.
Add or Remove Programs list says I have 3.6.3
After I delete what I have, I hope to get a clean download of 4.0.
Thanks

Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 20.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will also lose your personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
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.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.

How do you upgrade OS X 10.4.11 tiger to a higher version of operating system such as OS x 10.5.6 as have tried running the upgrade disc on imac 5,1 with intel processor but only get message saying this cannot be installed with no further explanation ?

Retail Leopard disc looks like this;
(The disc itself has the same logo). If the one you've got is grey it simply won't work.
Given the retail and second hand prices of Leopard (usually some on Amazon MP), you'll probably find it cheaper to go directly to Snow Leopard, although there could be software updates and printer driver problems that could nullify the difference.

This little thing will open your .avi files. It's free, and you do not need Quick Time.

I want to delete a downloaded program. but i get an error message that it is open.

So I downloaded this app from the internet. I didnt buy the full program. I took the trial program. I do not like it and want to delete it. Ive tried dragging it to the trash and I also tried to delete it from my applications folder. However now I'm getting a message that the program is open so I can not delete it. So HOW do I delete this program?? Its not opened! And if it is how do I close it? HELPPPP PLEASE

Click the Apple icon and choose Force Quit. Find the name of the program you're trying to delete and force quit it. Now you should be able to throw it out.

I want to delete ConstaSurf and SearchProtect but I get a message that they are in use and it won't let me delete them.

I started to download Firefox and without realizing it I agreed to some additional programs that I do not want on my computer. The ones I can identify are ConstaSurf and SearchProtect. When I try to delete them, I get a notification that they are in use or in another file, and it won't let me delete them. I would like to delete them and then try downloading Firefox more carefully. Thanks for any help. I am not computer savvy.

See this: http://malwaretips.com/blogs/constasurf-virus-removal/
For step 1 - Uninstall ConstaSurf program from your computer - thru the Control Panel
If that's where you get that message about them bring in use, try closing Firefox and any other browsers that you may have open and then try to uninstall those two.

I have mac os 10.6.8 and want to purchases 'pages' app however I'm getting message saying I can't

I have a mac os x 10.6.8 and need to purchase pages app - the mac store says no.. and hlp would be great thanks!

Just a thought before you go the whole hog - try calling Apple on 1-800-MY-APPLE and ask for sales. Ask if they can offer an earlier version of Pages from the archive list. They may be able to give you a code to use at the App Store.
I've no idea if it will work, but it's just one 'phone call, so nothing to lose. Mine is 4.0.5 on SL.

I have repaired startup disk in disk utility but still get message saying startup disk needs repair, help.

I am on a macbook pro running the latest version of yosemite. I was going to use Onyx to clean it, but I got a message stating that my startup disk needs repair. I command R went to disk utility to verify and repair and the disk was fine. However, I still get the same message when using Onyx. What should I do? Should I command R and reinstall? Will the fact that my startup disk needs repair cause a problem?

Thank you @EricRoot, I think you may be correct. I don't get that message with other programs. However, I did locate files on my computer taking up way too much space...

I want to delete my duplicate songs, but I have thousands of songs and cannot realistically go through and review and delete them one at a time. Can I do it all at once?

I want to delete my duplicate songs, but I have thousands of songs and cannot realistically go through and review and delete them one at a time. Can I do it all at once?

Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
(If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed)

I have a few hundred duplicates in my iPhoto library, but the file sizes are different. So one is 1.3mb and one is 567kb. I want to delete the smaller ones, but short of comparing each duplicate, is there a way to do this?

I have a few hundred duplicates in my iPhoto library, but the file sizes are different. So one is 1.3mb and one is 567kb. I want to delete the smaller ones, but short of comparing each duplicate, is there a way to do this? I've been looking at Duplicate Annhilator but I don't think it can do it.
Thanks!

I just ran a test with iPhoto Library Manager, Duplicate Annihilator, iPhoto Duplicate Cleaner, Duplifinder and Photodedupo. I imported a folder of 5 photos into a test library 3 times, allowing iPhoto to import duplicates. I then ran the 5 photos thru resizer to reduce their jpeg compression but all other aspects of the file the same.
None of the duplicate removal apps found set that was reduced in the file resizer. That's probably due to the fact that the file creation date was being used as a criteria and the resized photo would have a different file creation date even though the Image Capture date was the same.
They all found the 3 regular duplicates and some of them would mark two and leave the 3rd unmarked. iPhoto Duplicate Cleaner can sort the found duplicates by file size but if the file was edited to get the reduced file size it might not be found as it would have a different file creation/modification date.
iPhoto Library Manage was able to find all duplicates and mark them as such if the file names were the same the the filename option was selected. Otherwise it also missed the modified, resized version. It allowed one to select the one photo to save before going to work on the library.
So if a photo has been reduced in image quality or pixel size it will not be considered a duplicate.

HT204022 I backed my old iphone up to my computer and bought a new iphone. When i backed my new phone up I now I have an icloud photo (from my computer) album that I want to delete from my phone but I do not have the option. Please help.

I backed my old iphone up to my computer and bought a new iphone. When i backed my new phone up I now I have an icloud photo (from my computer) album that I want to delete from my phone but I do not have the option. Please help.

If the album was synced to your phone from your computer, it can only be removed by sycing it off. To do this, deselect the folder on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and sync.

If I delete all my photos in my camera roll will it still be in my iCloud ??? And I made a photo stream for pics of me and my friends is t in my iCloud ? I want to delete all my pictures but will it be in my iCloud ?

Don't rely on iCloud to back up your pictures. It's designed to sync them to your devices, not back them up. Photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days, allowing your devices enough time to download them. But if you ever lose your device, or have to replace it, any photos older than 30 days will no longer be in iCloud to download.
To keep your photos, import them to your computer using your usb cable while they are still in your camera roll, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083. After importing them, you will be given an option to delete them from your device.

Can anyone help me- I recently had an archive operating reinstall completed at the genius bar (so they didn't have to delete my hard drive), but now my battery says "not charging." It used to hold a 2.5 hour charge, and now nothing. Can anyone help?

Hi, Michelle. Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Have you tried resetting the SMC? The SMC (System Management Controller) has control over the charging function, so resetting it may help.

I want to delete 4.o entirely, but I get message saying I must reboot to complete a previous upgrade: clicking restart results in perpetual hang, Any solutions?
