In trying to update an Adobe product I get message that "Plugin container for Firefox" needs to be closed. How do I do that?

What more details can be added?

You can check in the task manger to see if there are still possibly hanging plugin-container processes running after you've closed Firefox via Firefox > Exit or File > Exit and kill them if necessary.

That would be problem number 1. The device MUST be connected to the Internet to download software updates.
I am guessing you are trying to download an iOS update, common causes for the error you mentions are Anti-Virus or Firewall software on the computer preventing files from downloading.
If this doesn't address your issue, try rewording your issue so that we can better understand the problem you are having.

HT4623 Trying to update through itunes. Keep getting message that itunes is up to date.

I am trying to update my iphone through iTunes. It tells there is an update (6.0) available but when I select Update I get the message that my iTunes is current.

I would suspect that the version of your OS is 1.5.8.
You can call 1800MYAPPLE and order a 10.6 disk, it should run around $29

Why is it that when I am trying to install an adobe product, I get 33% of the way through and then it gives me an error "unable to load metafile"?? It happened with Reader and now with Flashplayer. With the Reader, I was able to find a different install

Why is it that when I am trying to install an adobe product, I get 33% of the way through and then it gives me an error "unable to load metafile"?? It happened with Reader and now with Flash player. With the Reader, I was able to find a different installation link using the troubleshooting guide. I cannot find the same with flash player. Please tell me how to install Flash player because there is a website that I cannot even view without it. BTW That is annoying that I cannot even see the website without flash player
my system is XP

Use these installers:
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
Flash Player for Mac OS X
For Adobe Reader go to http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

I am changing laptops and have tried to download and install Acobat 9 Standard from the Adobe website, but get message that my serial number is invalid. I log in and double check my account and it shows as a valid serial number. Now what?

I am changing laptops and have tried to download and install Acrobat 9 Standard from the Adobe website, but get message that my serial number is invalid. I log in and double check my account and it shows as a valid serial number. Now what?

If you had it on a laptop that crashed and you threw away, it is still considered as activated on that machine. YOu should contact Adobe by chat or by phone and have them deactivate for you.
Here is a link to a page with options to help make contact:

If you are getting a message that indicates the serial number is not valid, you should look thru the following:

I'm trying to install iOS 5.0 but getting message that my computer does not have sufficient space to backup my iPad; continuing will result in loss of all media on iPad. I was going to install iCloud but it seems that you have to have iOS 5.0, help?

i'm trying to install iOS 5.0 but getting message that my computer does not have enough space to backup my iPad and continuing will result in loss of all media on iPad. an option seemed to be backing up on iCloud, but i think you have to have iOS 5.0 to install iCloud.
how do i install iOS 5.0 without losing anything on my iPad?

If you really do not have enough space on your HDD for a backup of your iPad, you do not have enough space at all. Free up at least 15% of your HDD, in any case more than 0.8GB for the iPad update.
Make backups on an external disk.
After freeing up enough space, try again.

Still saying I need updates but when I update it says I have current versions already.
Also still keep getting plugin container for firefox has stopped working. But I'm not see a problem with anything.

Plugin-container for Firefox, version 6.0.2.4262, is causing massive slow down on my computer. i am running windows 7 , have a quad core hard drive and it is using as many as 2 drives at times. tried to uninstall, and redownload browser this AM.

norton and windows are continuely giving me performance warnings that at least 1 of my hard drives is being completely utilized by the add-on plug-in container for firefox. last time i ran through the trouble shooter i was told that the plug-in container. exe for firefox was non-compatable.

Hello Matt, fellow archaeologist :)
Security updates are essential on any and all software, specially your browser. Mozilla is working to streamline the updating process as much as possible, but you shouldn't neglect your own security for a few seconds of "wasted" time.
I hope you do the best for yourself.

Trying to update itunes on XP keep getting message "could not access network location iTunes\." Any ideas?

Any ideas

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

I'm trying to update my iPhone 3G but getting message saying I'll lose my apps, etc. if I don't apply update to computer I last synced my apps to. But I have a new computer since I last updated/synced. What do I do?

I'm trying to update my iPhone3G but I'm getting a message saying I'll lose all my apps, music, IStore purchases, etc. if I continue on my current computer, and should apply the update to the computer on which I last synced my apps, music, etc. However, I have a new computer since I last synced my iPhone - several months ago. What should I do??

Copy your entire iTunes folder from your old computer to your new one, as outlined here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527. If you can't, see this tip: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141.

Using new computer. Trying to sync itunes with IPod. Getting message that 65 of my 17k songs can't be synced because computer is not authorized. But when I try to authorize it says Itunes is busy

Just got a new Dell.
Copied over all music to computer and installed latest Itunes. When I am trying to sync i am getting a new error message that suggests 65 out of my 17000+ songs can't sync because the computer is not aauthorized. Everytime I click to authorize it says Itunes store is busy or unavailabe try again later. However the store opens when not syncing

Maybe:
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases

Game from app store is in "loading mode". I tried to sink with my desktop, but get message that game is too big. how do I remove this app if it has not completed loading on the ipad

I got a game from the App Store. It is "loading" on the Ipad. I tried to sink Ipad and desktop, but game is still loading. How do I get this to stop loading. I actually don't want it to continue loading on the Ipad. How do I stop/delete the download?

If it has a cloud icon it means its no longer on your device. Tapping on the cloud will effectively reinstall the App from scratch to your device.
There is no way to remove it from the cloud because its not yours to remove from there. Its the general App repository, you are just given access to it to download content you've already purchased.
