I want to update Firefox 3.6.17 to 4. Do I have to delete the older version from my computer first?

How do you know when to just click and download a Firefox update, as opposed to having to remove the earlier version from your system prior to downloading the new version?

YES, you can, BUT.......should we?? With all of the BIG TROUBLES that MANY MANY PEOPLE are having with ver.4, MAYBE we should wait till the STORM PASSES!!!! And if YOU are one of those that are having trouble and want to get back to 3.6.16.....
.....here is the link to it:
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.6.16/win32/en-US/Firefox%20Setup%203.6.16.exe
OH, and WHY don't I list 3.6.17 that just came out.....well.....because that one is also having some "issues", THAT'S WHY!!!!

I want to run a streaming quotes program on Scottrade. They tell me that their product does not work if I have more than one Java application on my Mac. How do I delete the older versions? Thanks

I have the same problem, they never told me that, just that the newest version of Java "locks" up streaming quotes.

My iPhone 4s will not connect to my yahoo account following the recent update. It appears with Error 1032. I have tried deleting the account resetting my phone, changing the password - none of this has worked. Could you please provide me with some advice?

I had this same problem with my new MBP 15", but only with the USB port on the left side. The USB port on the right side worked fine. Perhaps the ports on the left don't have enough signal energy for the iPhone.
Anyway, try using a different USB port, and if that doesn't work, perhaps you could try a powered USB hub.

I have somehow deleted the tool bar from the Firefox home page. How do I recover it?

I have somehow deleted the toolbar from my Firefox home page. How can I retrieve it, and hopefully my bookmarks, Tools, etc.

Hello.
Go into View > Toolbars and select the toolbars you want to be displayed. If you don't see the menu bar, simply tap ALT in your keyboard. Rightclicking anywhere in the toolbar will also present you with the menu (don't rightclick stuff that can be rightclicked for other functions, like the back menu or the tabs).

How can I install multiple versions of Firfox, and block the older versions from updating while allowing one version to continue updating?

I need to have several versions of FF installed for training and testing purposes, but I can't keep older versions from updating. All versions will auto-update regardless of setting auto-update to off or suggest.

hello miklewis, you can try to use portable versions of older versions of the browser & set them to not update (those are not provided by mozilla directly): http://sourceforge.net/projects/portableapps/files/Mozilla%20Firefox%2C%20Portable%20Ed./

If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest 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 program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop

I downloaded the newer version of firefox but when i click on icon to bring it up the older version appears and tells me i am using an old version Help please

i want to know how to replace the newer version.

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com
For the full system requirements see http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/system-requirements.html

Subject - Adding movies to iTunes that had previously been deleted. Having just purchased an AppleTV, I wanted to re-encode a few movies at a higher resolution (Handbrake). I deleted the old version from iTunes, but it would not let me add the new version

I even tried changing the name of the file. When I choose "add file to library", then select the file, it does nothing, and provides no explanation. I also tried adding a specific file that had been previously deleted. I did not re-encode this movie; I just wanted to add the same file again and it would not let me.
I'm using iTunes 11.1.3.8 on Windows 7. I appreciate any help that could be offered.

In iTunes, do Store->View my AppleID
Click "Deuthorize ALL"
Then, on any computers you still have, do Store->Authorize this computer. If there are less than 5, you will have no problem.
You can only do "deauthorize all" once a year, so in the future, if you ever throw a computer away, remember do to "Store->Deauthorize this computer" first.

Why has Firefox 4.0b10 deleted all previous versions from my computer?

Firefox 3.6.13 (I think it was, anyway) upgraded itself automatically and in doing so, my shortcut for Firefox 4.0b7 only opened as Firefox 3.6.13 after the upgrade. As a result, I went back to download Firefox 4.0 Beta and Firefox 4.0b10 downloaded, but my Firefox 3.6.13 is now gone. What gives?

You probably only lost the desktop shortcut to start the beta version and now that has happened again and you lost the shortcut to start Firefox 3.6.13.<br />
You will have to create a new desktop shortcut for the Firefox 3.6.13 version.<br />
You can probably do that via Start > All Programs > Mozilla Firefox > Firefox<br />
Make sure that you do not choose the Safe mode entry.
If that also gives the Firefox 4 beta version then go to the Firefox 3.6.13 program folder ("C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\") and right-click the firefox.exe program.<br />
Windows probably hides the .exe file extension, so be sure to get the correct file (check the Properties).

If i restore my ipod on a newer version of itunes on another computer, can i still update it on the older version on my computer?

I can't connect to the internet on my computer and i need to restore my ipod so i was going to restore it on another computer, but wasn't sure whether i'd still be able to update it on my computer because I don't want to have to transfer all my music to the other computer?

If necessary,
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

I always get an error during the process of the lastest itunes update on my windows 7 64 bit laptop, i have been installing the correct version for my laptop.

I have firefox 3.6.3, 4.0.1, 5.0.1, 6.0.1 and 6.0 in my downloads. Can I delete the older download versions?

Over the past couple of years multiple updates of Firefox have occurred on my PC. They are showing up in my downloads--3.6.3; 4.0.1; 5.0.1; 6.0.1 and 6.0.
I would like to delete the older version, but I don't want to create a problem.
Is it ok to delete the older download versions?

You can safely delete the those older install (setup) files as there is no need to install such old versions.

I have a password manager built into my fingerprint scanner. It worked on the older version of Firefox but it will not on this new version. It will not recognize log in pages and will not load information.

With the old version, all I had to do was go to the log in page to any of my email accounts or membership sites and scan my finger. It would fill in the fields and open my account. I like this new version of Firefox, but if I am not able to use that password manager then I will have to install the older version.

A 2008 black MacBook can run OS X Lion (OS X 10.7). However, if you want to use that Mac for apps that do not work with the new MacBook, I recommend you to leave it with Mac OS X 10.6.8, because OS X Lion removes compatibility with PowerPC apps.
Do not worry about the battery of the new MacBook Pro. You can replace it yourself or take it to an Apple Store or reseller, and the cost is similar. However, it's important to take the Mac to an Apple Store or reseller if your Mac's battery fails while the Mac is in warranty, because you will get the battery replaced for free.
