Installed FF. 8.1 and after reboot, tryed to start FF and got message "Could not load XRE functions.
I have been running I believe FF 6.3. I was getting nag popups to update FF. I went to help and used the selection there to up date. In doing so (more than once tryed this method) it would download and install like a usual update untill compleation. Then it would say Could not compleat update or Could not restart firefox because and instance is running. Close FF and try again. But there was no visiable FF running not even in Device Manager.
I will mention here that I did install Skype last week and have seen a couple of messages concerning Skype not loading on start up but seeing it running in the tool bar if this may have anything to do with it.
So looking for help at the FF site I saw recomended to DownLoad and install FF 8.1 so I did that. Then from Control Panel I uninstalled FF and rebooted and installed fresh leaving the old settings and bookmarks etc. Then rebooted again.
When I started FF 8.1 I now get a message "Could not load XRE Functions".
So remembering the last progy install on this box was Skype I went to the control panel and un installed it ---- and when I did, at the finish I got that same message "Could not load XRE Functions".---- Intresting---- hummmm but how do I get FF installed so I can get on with Life?
I just tried to verify this new account and got the same Couldnt Load message when I clicked on the email link for this forum.
Much Thanks in advance for anyones help.
Do a clean (re)install and delete the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).
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 if possible.
*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 tried to update FFox from Help at the top of the tool bar. It down loaded and one would normally expect it to update auto install normally but when it finished and closed FFox to restart like usual instead of restarting it gave a message that FFox was running and must be closed first. I could find no instance of FFox running in the status bar or in Task Manager Applications.
So I logged off and back on to reset everything in case it was running in the background. I Tried the update from Help again. Same message just when FFox closed and attempted to restart saying FFox was running and must be closed.
I used FFox to go to the FF site and read the help and problems section for 8.1 and saw a suggestion to Down load a copy of 8.1 and install it form desk top. So I did this.
Before installing 8.1, I un-stalled the old one and rebooted then installed it form the desktop and rebooted. But when I clicked the Icon to start FFox it paused a moment --- I got a message Titled: XUL runner “Couldn’t load XRE functions”.Do a clean (re)install and delete the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).

Tried turning off antivirus/antispyware - nstill get error msg.
Also have Thunderbird installed.When you say "clean install", do you mean that you also manually erased the C:\program files\mozilla firefox folder before installing, to remove any remaining files from a previous install?
If so, it seems there is a problem with your profile. Have a look at https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Basic%20Troubleshooting, and perhaps more specifically https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Basic%20Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile and follow the instructions there for how to test if the problem goes away with a new profile.
Just post back here if you have questions. -

Most likely your phone is carrier locked to a different carrier than the SIM card you're using. It will activate and operate only with the carrier to which it's locked.

Can somebody help me figure this out? So before a road trip I rented a movie on my Ipad mini. The movie fully loaded before I left. It downloaded under wifi. Now that I'm in the car I tried to watch the movie but it isn't working. When I press play an error message pops up saying "could not load movie" can I not watch it with our wifi? What's going on? What can I do to watch the movie?
Having the same problem. Watched 25 minutes of a rental and it stopped with the message"unable to load video"
Using current version IPad mini.

I rented a movie on itunes and synced it to my ipad but it says that could not load movie?
I've rented a movie from iTunes on my computer which I synced to my iPad - or at least it appears to have moved over however when I hit the play button on the iPad it tells me that it 'could not load movie', I'm not sure what to do next?
If you rented and downloaded it directly on the iPad then it should be in the Videos app - if it's not then have you got a film age rating set in Settings > General > Restrictions that is hiding it ?

I installed iTunes 10.2.2. When I tried to open it, I got the message that iTunes needs to install Rosetta to open. It then appeared to download and and install Rosetta. When I try to open iTunes, the icon bounces but iTunes does not open. The icon has also changed from the usual iTunes icon. What do I do now?
I have a 2010 MBP15 which I do not use as much as my pc. When I do, I check for updates and I believe I updated iTunes to 10.2.2 a week or so ago. Since I still use iTunes primarily on my pc, I didn't bother firing up the updated iTunes on the mac.
Last week, when I actually started iTunes on the mac, I got the message that Rosetta needed to be installed. Like abefighter I stalled. I surfed the net, read this thread to get some hints as to w** was going on.
When I checked the system profile in the mac, I think it showed PowerPC for 'kind.' Surfing the Internet I found out Rosetta was something needed to help applications work on PowerPCs. But wait, since this MBP is an Intel, why would or should it be asking me for some stone-age plug-in that was never mentioned in all the previous updates for iTunes until now? Fyi, the iTunes icon on the dock had changed to what I think is an AppleWorks icon.
So, I assumed that the update that resulted in my mac was corrupted. At first I scoured for 10.2.1, thinking that the last version was a dud, but in vain, nowhere to be found. I gave up and settled for a fresh 10.2.2. I did a casual delete, without touching any of the related personal preference files in my folder and it now which works fine. I'm glad I didn't jump to install Rosetta; I read elsewhere about someone who actually went through with the Rosetta install that resulted unhappily.
Unless the mac in question is a PowerPC, I would doubt the need for Rosetta installation. -
When trying to activate facetime get the message i get "could not sign in. Please check network connections
My Apple ID is correct
tried with a new apple Id ...doesn't work neither
My connection is correct..;
I ve seen that this issue is frequent within mac users
Can anyone bring some help?
Thank youHello
Try this... I had the same problem and this worked for me.
Go to your system preferences → network → make sure WI-FI selected → advanced → DNS tab. Add 8.8.8.8 to the DNS servers. Go back to FaceTime and try to verify your account again.
Good luck! -

Hi:
I use Nikon NX2 then save as a TIFF file then do final editing in Elements. With Elements 8, I could then save as a JPEG file and upload to Flickr. With Elements 13, I get this message and cannot save:
Could not save a copy as “agb3_2014:09_054.tif” because the file name was not valid.
I note the colon (:) in the file name. I did not place it there. It is some automatic save. Typically I save as 2014/09
It is probably some setting I need to adjust but I am stumped. All help is welcome.
Thanks
Al

Getting error message: couldn't load XRE function after upgrade to 9.0
please advise, I tried reinstalling already.
Do a clean (re)install and delete the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).
Avast may also be using some kind of virtualization that prevents files from getting updated, so you may have to check and disable that feature.

It seems mandatory to answer some questions about using mozilla firefox to start usin gfirefox and to chose a "gift" i.e.. an ipad to go to mesterquiz and subscribe to a service of 150kr/week
How do I get around this?Firefox costs nothing to use, and there are no "gifts" involved. Sounds like you may have signed up for something not related to Mozilla.

Tried to install the newest version and lost all itunes on this computer. Followed instructions about removing and reinstalling iTunes, Quicktime, etc. Now I get message "Could not open key: UNKNOWN\Components|" and several letters/numbers afterward.
The first thing would be to get the proper version of Safari for your version of OS X (Tiger).
Go here to get Safari: http://www.apple.com/safari/download/
Be sure to choose the bottom choice:
You will also need the latest security update for Tiger. -
