  • Can't install any add-ons after upgrading to Firefox 4.. tried about:config, still nothing. How come?

    No matter which add-on I try to install, it says, "Software Installation is currently disabled. Click enable and try again." .. I've tried clicking enable as well as going to about:config and toggling xpi.enabled.. still nothing. Please help.

    Ok. Fixed it.
    Had to create a new profile.
    If anyone has (had) the same problem, and you have a lot of bookmarks you don't wanna lose, make sure you back them up on your old profile as a saved file--on your desktop, create a new profile, and then import them in your new profile.

  • HT5824 I've been using numbers for iPad and I accidentally deleted a column. And the auto-save feature saved that and now I can't undo it. Does iCloud storage have backups of saved files from like 10 minutes ago? I have number

    I've been using numbers for iPad and I accidentally deleted a column. And the auto-save feature saved that and now I can't undo it. Does iCloud storage have backups of saved files from like 10 minutes ago? I have numbers synced to iCloud.
    I tried to undo it but the app crashed.
    I am hoping there's like a previously saved version of my file in iCloud somewhere. 

    No, iOS does not do short term incremental back ups to iCloud such as you get with Time Capsule.It backs up when you do soo manually, or if set properly, when the device is plugged in and connected to WiFi. It will not have saved your changes as of 10 minutes prior.

  • I haven't synced my iphone 4 with my windows xp pc since Nov 2011.  now I can't even open Itunes.  I get a message that says :the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource tat is unavailable".  I can't uninstall it either.

    When I try to uninstall iTunes so that I can reinstall it, I receive this message:  "The installation source for this product is not available.  Verify that th esource exists and that you can access it".
    I don't understand this as I'm the only one who has ever accessed it.  I set it up when I got my iphone last fall, and haven't synced it since.  Now I can't even open iTunes, nor can I update it, remove the program or reinstall it.
    Any ideas out there?  I'm not a computer whiz, so please keep it simple.  Thanks.

    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • I need help!  I installed icloud on my computer, uploaded photos, my computer crashed and now my ipad runs slow b/c there are too many photos.  Is there a way to delete photos from my ipad (right now, I can click on the photos but not delete)?

    What options do I have?  Will purchasing more storage help?  Can I change control from my PC to my ipad if I can't use my computer anymore?

    You can import your photos and videos in the Camera Roll on your iPad to your work computer using you usb cable, then delete them from your iPad by following the directions here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.  If you also have photo stream photos that are not in your camera roll that you want to save, save them to your camera roll so they can be imported too.  To do this, open your My Photo Stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll.  After importing them you can delete them from your iPad if you want by tapping Edit again, tapping the photos, then tapping Delete.
    Once they are on your work computer, you can transfer them to a USB memory stick if you cannot leave them there.
    Any photos on your iPad that were synced from your computer can be salvaged by using an app like PhotoSync to transfer them to your work computer over wifi.  (They can't be saved to the camera roll and imported with your usb cable like photos in the camera roll.)  Deleting these photos from your iPad will require using iTunes.  Once you have your own computer again and can install iTunes, you can delete these remaining photos by creating an empty folder on your computer, then selecting this folder to sync to your iPad on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing.

  • I haven't been able to open Firefox for over a week. I would like to uninstall it, but I can't because it says it's open, but I don't see it is. Please tell me what to do.

    It has been over a week since I click to open mozilla and it won't. This has never happened before. I decided to uninstall it and install it back again to see if it would work, but a window pops up and says to close it. I can't get it to open it, so how can I close it?

    It is probably not necessary to uninstall/reinstall.
    Must be the "hang at exit" problem.<br /><br />

  • Got my Iphone unlocked recently and now when inserted new sim, all the apps got wiped out, tried syncing it again from itunes but still it isnt getting installed. Can someone help?

    Hi,
    Recently I got my Iphone unlocked. Earlier I was using it on ATT n/w. After unlock i am using it in India with a service provider here.
    The problem that I am getting is, the phone was able to pick up the network and am able to make calls and messages. Data plan is still to be activated so cant confirm on that, but all the apps that were there on my phone got wiped out on its own. Since I wasnt sure as to what happend, so I reinstalled the apps today morning. I saw the apps getting installed and then left to get ready for my office. after nearly 30 mins I saw nothing was getting syncronized so disconnected the phone and left for Office. On reaching office when I checked for my usual Apps, I could see only the apple apps and none other available there. Need to know whats the issue and how to resolve it. Please can someone help me on this?

    I can not get to iPhone screen, so no way to get to Settings. That is the problem. When I connect phone to iTunes I get screen asking to insert SIN card. On the phone I'm getting Cinfigure screen asking Launguage , Country or Region, Wi-Fi, ( I can connect to my home wi-fi), and last screen "Activating your iPhone". After two minutes of waiting IM getting message: Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server in temporary unavailable. try connecting to iTunes or try later or contat apple.com/support.
    Like I mention, I went to Bell as well Rogers store and tried to insert active SIM card with no results.
    Yes, my friend unlock the phone to use with Rogers but I don't know where

  • I would like to change the setting so that the whole lap-top screen apart from the bookmarks column is used for the information - at the moment I have only a strap using 2/3 of the screen, and the rest is mozlla background

    The previous version of Firefox used the whole screen; this version (Firefox Beta 4.0) uses only about 2/3 of the screen, leavig a space above and below the part-screen that it does use,and filling the rest with a background. I was able to chose which background when I first updated to this version, but I wasn't given the choice, as far as i remember, to have no background and use the whole screen.

    How recently did you switch?  If it's less than 60 days, then Verizon simply reinstates your previous account.  The fact that you were on the EDGE plan and mailed the devices back, and they apparently are somewhere in the system, could cause complications, and it might just work out that you just go back on the same plan and they set you up with the same devices.  I'm not sure how it will go - but since you are still being billed for the devices... 

  • Installed update for Quicktime for Leopard.  It indicates successful installation but actually hasnt installed. Did it a few times and also deleted my existing version and all QT preferences.  Still doesnt work.  any ideas?

    I have downloaded Quicktime for leopard fo rmy iMac (2 years old).  It indicated successful installation.  Then I purchased Quicktime Pro.  It didnt work.  So tried a download again. The same thing happened.  So I deleted absolutely everything including my old version of QT and also any preference files I found.  I tried again but the same thing happened.  It indicates successful installation but a search doesn't reveal anything anywhere.  I have had no previous trouble downloading any new programmes . They always install with no problem straight into applications.  there is lots of available memory.  Now I have no Quicktime whatsoever.
    Any ideas anyone?  Have tried speaking to the apple call centre in India.  He couldnt understand me and vie versa.  No use at all and it cost me a fortune for the phone call.  On the phone for an hour while this chap kept going to his supervisor. Why do companies continue to use call centres overseas?

    I have used Firefox since Firefox 0.7 or 0.9 but may have been 0.5. Seems like it was called something else but my memory is not that great.
    Before that I used Seamonkey and other variations of Mozilla. Before that I used Netscape. I even have/had a CD that I sent off for with the different releases going all the way back to the beginning (I think).
    I was a Mozilla crusader. When I saw someone using IE I would talk to them like they must be dumb until they switched haha. I have converted everyone who is close to me to firefox except my wife and I think she uses IE to irritate me.
    I work on the Internet. I spend no less than 12 hours and up to 18 hours a day with my fingers touching a keyboard that is connected to a computer or phone that is interacting with the Internet. I have Firefox on my Android phone, two laptops and my desktop. All of them crash constantly.
    When it crashes I lose work and time. Not to mention getting big headaches.
    I am very appreciative for the browser and yes I have made money donations. Not saying that makes me good. I look at it more like I am paying for great software.
    I never thought the day would come that I would say no more to Firefox. The day has come.
    When Firefox first came out it was small, good and fast. As time has went on it has become big, bad and slow. I feel like I am turning my back on a good friend but i can't take the crashing any longer.
    I am using Chrome now. Dang I hate to use anything google. Since I can't make my own browser I have to use what's out there and Chrome is fast. Sort of like Firefox used to be... except of course Chrome has all those phone home goodies.
    I won't be trying to convert anyone to Chrome but neither will I try to convert them to Firefox.
    I am not trying to start a flame war or anything here. As nuts as it sounds I felt like I should tell Firefox bye.
    Bye bye Firefox. it was good knowing you

  • Installed Windows 7 on my IMac, now I can't get Apple OS to work

    Installed Windows 7 on my IMac, now I can't get Apple OS to work, I have tried booting with Snow Leopard disc in and nothing works. I had trouble from the start but now nothing works except Windows 7, sound wont work etc. etc.

    I originally tried installing Widows 7 so I could run my Flight Simulator X on the IMac I got from my daughter and I used BootCamp and had partitioned it at about 4GB for windows and the first thing I got was I had to put a bootable disc in and neither the windows 7 or Snow Leopard would work. Then I got Windows 7 to work but I can't get Snow Leopard to run, when I put the disc in it says that it not supported. Of course windows wont show me anyother areas of the disc that I could try to get to, the other side of the partition I guess. I have tried holding the C key down on reboot and that doesn't work. I hope this gives you a little more insight as to what is going on. Thanks Bill

  • It won't let me edit the browser.newtab.url entry in about:config which was edited somehow after I installed a program.

    I installed a program and it must've edited a bunch of my FireFox settings because now whenever I open a new tab it goes to some Bing search engine. I tried editing the browser.newtab.url entry in the about:config however nothing happens when I edit the field. I am able to edit other fields just not the browser.newtab.url

  • I upgraded to FF4 but didn't like it, so I uninstalled it and reinstalled 3.6. Now FF3.6 won't open. Any suggestions?

    Updated to FF4.0 on 4/16/11. I really didn't like it. A lot of my add ons aren't compatible yet and I just didn't like the lay out, so I uninstalled it. I downloaded and installed the last version of 3.6, but it won't run. Can anyone help?

    have you restarted your OS? and do you have more than one firefox in your system?
    looks like you got a little bit messed up. my suggestion is remove all the firefox programs, including addons, and do a restart of your windows, and then download a new firefox 3.6.16/3.6.15 from mozilla official, do the install, then install the addons.
