Install of latest Firefox upgrade won't complete, now having multiple problems and can't find how to revert back to previous mode.
I got a prompt to upgrade, but the install mechanism just keeps looping, says connecting but nothing ever happens. Daily I get warnings to install, and each effort ends as above. Now some of the prompt boxes (such as "are you sure you want to delete...") appear in subdued/basic mode. I was going to simply revert back to the previous edition that worked, but can't find how to do that.
I am having an issue with the Software Update also. The window says, "It is strongly recommended that you apply this update for Firefox as soon as possible"....It won't let me see the information of this update. I click on it as it highlights but nothing happens. So when I do click next it starts to update but updates all day long. It is not right. I thought maybe a virus? Could somebody tell me what to do? It is constantly happening everyday. thank You!!

Cant not install the latest Firefox.
Do a clean (re)install and delete the Firefox program folder.
* Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 8.0.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.

I opened Firefox accidentally so pressed cancel thinking it wouldn't open Firefox if I did that but it opened it up anyway but didn't restore my last session (which I needed) and now I can't find how to restore it - help!!!
== This happened ==
Just once or twice
== I opened Firefox accidentally and clicked cancel thinking it wouldn't open Firefox if I did that.You will find that bookmarking a page (clicking the star next to the address, or going into ''Bookmarks > Bookmark this page'' is precisely what you need to remember pages. It is a very widespread function in web browsers, and it is very ''very'' helpful in many situations, including remembering the location of pages you want to see later, providing easy access to pages you use frequently and other stuff too.
If you want to know about session restore, there's an helpful support article [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Session+Restore here] which I believe also has information on version 3.0. However, I do urge you, once again, to update, because older versions (including 3.0) are no longer maintained and have known security vulnerabilities. Besides, you will not loose any functionality at all (unless you are using add-ons that are no longer usable by newer versions, in which case you need to contact the add-ons' authors for support and ask them to update their software), it's free, and very easy to do.
If you need any further help at all, whatever it is, tips, troubleshooting, walkthroughs, feel free to ask here. -
Upgraded my iPhone 4S to 5.1.1 and can't find network. HELP!
Upgraded my iPhone 4S to 5.1.1 and will not find our network! Says searching ever since I updated it.
OK. Sprint is a CDMA carrier and your 4S is both a GSM and CDMA phone. In the US on the Sprint network is uses the CDMA "portion" of the phone The SIM is needed to access GSM networks abroad (most of the world, save a few exceptions uses GSM). You will need the Sprint GSM SIM in order for the phone to roam in the Bahamas. Contact Sprint in order to get a replacement if you cannot find yours.
Your other option is to have Sprint, SIM unlock your phone. That way you will be able to buy a prepaid/pay as you go SIM in the Bahamas, if available.
Not sure why the Genuis took it out the SIM in the first place. It would not affect your service if it was left in. -

Mavericks: Install failed. How to revert back to previous OS X?
Hi
I was running Lion on MBA. I downloaded Mavericks today and the install has failed. It says I have a disk error.
I have tried 'repair disk' and no joy.
The issue I have is that my MBA keeps trying to install Mavericks.
How do I get back to where I was before?
I assume my MBA will have to go into the Apple store to have the disk looked at. I've checked and it isn't part of the exchange program.
Many thanks guys.Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears.
You have the option to repair drive and to re-install OS X.
I would try repair drive and repair permissions first.
If the internal drive fails to work, you can attach an external drive and create a partition the size of your internal drive. Format as GUID.
Install OS X on this partition. While booted from the new partition, you can try recovering your data from the internal drive, Time Machine or clone backup.
Once you have recovered your data, use Disk Utility to Erase the internal drive then clone your new partition back to the internal drive.
I like SuperDuper for cloning.

Is it just me or are you experiencing the same issues?
This discussion will explain in great detail how you can sync to a new computer. Give it a look. After you get the new computer set up to sync, you can try downloading iMovie in iTunes and then sync it to the iPad.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3305461
Now that we have a better idea of what you were trying to do ..... Give this a try. This has worked for a number of people that had issues with apps that would not update.
Check iTunes and see if you have a pending or stalled download in there. If you do, finish that download or delete it if you can.
If that doesn't work or if that was not the problem, go to Settings>Store >Apple ID, tap your ID and sign out. Then reboot the iPad, Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Then go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and sign in again and see if the apps will update. -
In the past, when I shut my computer down, Firefox would automatically close. Now, Firefox has problems closing at shut down. This happens every time I shut off my computer. I'm using Windows XP pro on a desktop.
Yep, that did it. Thanks for that tip.
However, the other issue is that whenever I start Firefox, the tabs I had open when I shut down do not automatically load. Again, this did not happen before the latest Firefox upgrade.
I have to say that I like the idea of AVG watching my back against malicious links, and not that it's disabled I'm concerned about viruses. Or should I be?
Thanks again for the help. -
Does anyone know where link is for standalone version of LRCS6 is? Bought upgrade and can't find it.
Cannot find the standalone version of LR6.... anyone know where it is? I already purchased upgrade and CC loads not standalone.
You used to be able to view them on your computer in your I tunes library under rented and choose the option to watch on computer or stream to your Apple TV. I too have the problem and can't find the film I downloaded which incidentally took 33 hours!

I yesterday installed the latest itunes upgrade to version 11.1.5.5. After doing so my computer no longer recognizes my cd drive Device manager states that windows cannot load the device driver, the device driver may be corrupted or missing. When I have tried to renew the driver it states the latest one is installed. I do not have the file afs.sys on my computer which is quoted as the file which causes optical drives to disappear. Any ideas
Hi, I've managed to get my CD & ipod working now but it wasn't easy. Maybe this will help you fix it.
This is what I did:
The problem: OS Windows 8.1 - was working ok with itunes (not sure which version). Upgraded to 11.1.5.5 and my old ipod stopped being recognised by itunes. As I had just bought a new ipod touch 5G I didn't pay too much attention however I soon realised that the new ipod wasn't recognised either. I uninstalled iTunes & reinstalled but that didn't fix it. I found a technote (see below) that says how to get get your ipod reconised. That worked but on a a reboot I realised that there was no CD drive appearing in windows.
It now works & this is what I did to fix it:
Went through the apple technotes on CD issues & looked a the Gear website
Looked for afs.sys file but didn't have that
The registry settings for device filters looked the same as the technotes
Device manager for CD said there were problems in the registry
I backed up the itunes folder (I was planning on a clean install & rebuilding itunes from scratch however most people want to keep their data)
I uninstalled itunes but that made no difference
I rolled back to the a system restore point that had been created not long before the upgrade to 11.1.5.5
The CD drive was now OK again
I went into Windows update and ran the updates that were available - one was for intel chipsets
I created a system restore point as a precaution
I found the registry key that is mentioned in the technotes to do with CD problems and device filters and backed it up separately as a precaution
I ran itunes (x64) 11.1.5.5
itunes asked me if I wanted to repair or uninstall - I uninstalled
I rebooted
I ran install for itunes 11.1.5.5
itunes installed ok & the CD was still there
ipods were not recognised
I followed the instructions http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 to update the driver
5. Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed - For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8
Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver
I now have a CD drive & iTunes recognises my ipod again - phew

Since I installed the latest Firefox my Roboform dose not work. It still works with IE.
Since I installed the latest Firefox my Roboform dose not work. It still works with IE.
I have Roboform Pro, I don't want to down grade to Lite. Roboform is working, but I can't get the full Toolbar to display all that shows up is the Show Toobar icon and nothing happens when I click it. So I can't fill in log on forms. Isn't there a way to get the pro version to work?
Thank you for your input and trying to answer my questions. -
