Impossible to d/l current FF version on MAC OS X 10.6.8. Now cannot access essential apps for my job. Should I uninstall v. 3.6.2 and start anew? Data loss?

I have spend innumerable hours downloading new versions of Firefox. They never apply/appear in my system. It was suggested that I completely uninstall the current v. 3.6.2 from my system, and then install the latest FF as if I'd never had it. Is this possible? What might I lose as a result?

Firefox 29 should work with Mac OS X 10.6

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 file to the desktop
*Firefox 29.0.1: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
*Trash the current Firefox application (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

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.

Can I recover data from a reformatted hard drive? I did not do a back up prior to talking to Apple Support and the guy having me delete the hard drive and start anew. My bad but is all lost??

Can I recover data from a reformatted hard drive? I did not complete a back up prior to talking to Apple Support and the guy having me delete the hard drive (10.5.8) and start anew (10.6.3). My bad but is all lost?? Years of very important information....

You will need to purchase reovery sofware such as such as FileSalvage
http://subrosasoft.com/software/filesalvage
You can download a demo copy that will tell you what it can recover
If you want to recover that you must pay for the software then
When you do the recovery, you will need another disk drive to receive the recovered files
Having install a new operating system on the disk after the retformat is going to gradually reduce the amount of data that this software will be able to recover for you

What should I run off a UPS to protect myself from data loss?

I am wanting to safeguard my data. I am considering using a UPS to aid this. I experienced a major mains power brown out last year, and escaped then any damage or data loss. I do not want to risk damage/losing data from power problems.
I think I'd need to run off the UPS the following -
Mac Book
Associated external HDD
Should I run other equipment off the UPS? My cable modem? My wireless routers (Belkin and Airport Express)??
Cheers, all
Ken

What you run off the UPS is totally up to you and the capacity of your UPS. I don't generally run my notebooks on a UPS but I definitely use one with my desktop as any brief power loss would cause the system to go down without some type of power backup. If you want to still be able to get online when your power goes out, you'll want to keep your cable modem and wireless router connected as well. If you really want to conserve power and get maybe a few extra minutes, you can skip the wireless router and connect directly with your modem via an ethernet cable. The less you have on the UPS, the more time you'll be able to run on battery. Where I live, power outages are fairly infrequent. I'm generally just concerned with having enough time to finish what I'm working on then shutting down.

The FAFSA webite says "An Incompatible Browser Has Been Detected"; I updated my current Firefox version already; what do I have to dao now? "

I,m trying to apply for Federal financial aid on the gov't website & it won't let me access the site; Says my browser is 'incompatible'. How do I proceed if I want to remedy this & use their site?

The fafsa.gov site does not currently support Firefox newer than version 3.6.x. That is their choice.
You can install Firefox Portable version to use only on that site and use your installed current Firefox version for everything else. Firefox Portable is not produced by Mozilla (but is based on Firefox released versions) and is not supported on this site -- has its own support forum (see below). Firefox Portable installs in a separate folder on your hard drive so that it does not interfere with your currently installed Firefox version settings or personal information (bookmarks, passwords, etc.). You can also install Firefox Portable on a USB/thumb/pin/jump drive.

HT204053 I have changed my Apple ID in iTunes, which I access through my current ISP! I have another - old ISP on my mobile which I originally setup to access the App Store. I cannot access the App Store via old Apple ID. How do I change to new Apple ID?

I had two (2) different ISP's, one for the mobile phone and one for the computer. I have changed my Apple ID in iTunes, and also changed my ISP provider for my mobile phone. NOW I cannot acces the App Store (through the iPhone icon. How can I change the Apple ID for access to the App Store which keeps requesting the 'old' Apple ID (lost the password and cannot get help as ISP is no longer available for help) Have tried syn, no rsult, I have the new Apple ID as Apple ID on my mobile phone. Help required here???

To change the iCloud ID on your devices you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted (if using iOS 7), then sign back in with your current ID.
If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, you will have to temporarily recreate it in order to delete the existing account. To do this, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Cannot download Kindle app for my iMacbook Pro from the Apple app store. When I upgraded to 10.10.2 it told me my current app would no longer work. How do I get Kindle back for my laptop?

Just upgraded to iOS 10.10.2 on my MacBook Pro (late 2011) and was informed my Kindle app was no longer compatible and would be removed somewhere. When I tried to install a new Kindle app from the Apple App store it appeared to download, but when I tried to open it nothing happened and it does not appear anywhere in my App list. I see there have been problems like this in the past but nobody has reported having a problem for several months. Any cure for this?

iOS is the operating system for iOS devices like the iPhone and iPad. Your Mac runs on OS X. You have installed OS X 10.10.2 Yosemite.
I have the most recent version of the Kindle app for Mac from the Mac App Store (MAS) v. 1.10.6 and it works fine. Look again in the MAS for the Kindle app, does it say Get or Open on the button?
Are you confusing Kindle for Mac with Kindle for iOS. The iOS version won't run on your Mac.

I transferred my CS 6 applications to a new computer, and now cannot access Illustrator, only the trial version of creative cloud. How can I access the software I own?

I bought a new Mac Pro, transferred my CS software to it from my old Mac Pro, now I cannot access Illustrator, only the trial cloud version. How can I use the software I have already purchased?

Just to clarify, in case this helps anyone. I transferred the whole CS 6 suite using Apple's migration assistant, and the only program in the suite that could not be accessed except through the trial cloud version was Illustrator. After over an hour on the Adobe support chat, it turned out that I needed to follow the prompts to purchase the cloud version, then type in the serial number for my CS software at a certain point in the process. There you go.

Planning attributes in 11.1.2.2 and start/end dates in a cell

Hi. In Planning 11.1.2.2., can I make use of attribute dimensions as I would in a BSO Essbase cube?
Also can I enter a start date and an end date entry in two different account members (e.g., start_date and end_date)?
Thanks

Hi,
Yes, I believe you can use it.
And you can change the Account member Data type as Date. Then use these Accounts in the Planning Web Form. Form will give you facility to select the Date...

Downloaded 11.1.4.62 and now cannot access my library with newer version

Downloaded the iTunes update and ran into mega problems with sudden MSVCR80.dll files missing. Spent about 8 hours running every virus and malware check, uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled via command prompt. No more error 7 messages but now iTunes will not open because " the library file itl was created by a newer version."
Can I download the previous version of iTunes that works with my iPod?

Hi All,
I tried to download the update and iTunes doesn't work at all! It won't even open. I have tried all of the steps above but still no joy.
Any help would be much appreciated as I have been on this for one week already.
Close to my wits end and moving back to a Sony and trying Android for the very first time.
Thanks in advance.

I have downloaded the latest version of Safari, but I now cannot access my e-mail; Firefox can!!!

I have downloaded the latest version of Safari, but I now cannot acess my e-mail; firefox can however!!!!!

This solution I have already tried; it worked for actually accessing the net (which was my first problem with the new Safari), but I was unable to access my e-mail. I have tried the suggested solution, before I received this message, of emptying my Safari cache after logging on to the net - did not work. still locked out of email. Attempts to logon gets the following in the Safari address line
"https://loginprodx.att.net/commonLogin/igate_edam/controller.do?TAM_OP=login&USE RNAME=unauthenticated&ERROR_CODE=0x00000000&ERROR_TEXT=Successful%20completion&M ETHOD=GET&URL=%2FFIM%2Fsps%2FATTidp%2Fsaml20%2Flogininitial%3FRequestBinding%3DH TTPPost%26PartnerId%3Dhttps%3A%2F%2Flogin.yahoo.com%2Fsaml%2F2.0%2Fatt%26Target% 3Dhttp%253a%2F%2Fmail.yahoo.com%253f.lts%3D1334925612%3Ftucd567%3Dw&REFERER=http %3A%2F%2Fatt.my.yahoo.com%2F%3F_bc%3D1&HOSTNAME=loginprodx.att.net&AUTHNLEVEL=&F AILREASON=&PROTOCOL=https&OLDSESSION="
the quotes are mine to delineate the entire message.
I am now also getting an ATT message that says "Unknown Destination". That may be an improvement, but certainly not any lead to an answer.
This suggests that there may be a problem w/ ATT, but I need to explore the Safari issue further to in order to be able to push harder on ATT.

HT1338 my current version of mac os x is 10.5.8 we need to update it. what update should i look for?? Idk what mountain lion is or any of these things i'm new to mac

I cant seem to update itunes to sync my phone and ipad with this desktop also bc the version is too old.
Not sure if I've selected the correct "community" as mac os x v10.3....

Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
(NB: PowerPC applications can still be run in Snow Leopard using Rosetta, but they will not work in later versions of OS X.)
The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
and in the UK:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
Check via Software Update whether any further updates are required, particularly to iTunes.
You should now see the App Store icon in iTunes, and you now need to set up your account:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4479
You can now upgrade to Mavericks OS 10.9 for free IF you have one of the following Macs, with not less than 2GB of RAM, and at least 8GB of available space on your hard drive:
iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later), (15-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later), (17-inch, Late 2007 or later)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
Mac Mini (Early 2009 or later)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
Xserve (Early 2009)
If you cannot run Mavericks you can purchase the code to use to download Lion from the App Store (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard):
http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6106Z/A/os-x-lion
or Mountain Lion:

Loaded up version 5.0. When I did so, suddenly cannot access any of my favorites as Firefox says it is looking for a "proxy server."

Tried to load up Firefox version 5.0 on Saturday due to your lack of firewall support of Version 3.6 which led to a virus in my system that I was able to resolve out of the system once I went to "Safe Mode" and restored to previous date. In loading up your latest version, when I went into my Firefox Internet browser and tried to call up my Favorites, received message that Firefox was looking for a "proxy carrier" and I was unable to access any of my folders.

You can find the connection settings in Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection
If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select "No Proxy"
See "Firefox connection settings":
