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

  • Hi my App Store keeps asking for my wife's login I have signed in and out but it is still not working any ideas. It is strange as I have never signed with her id before.

    The Apple ID that is coming up on my App Store is my wife's but I am logged in under my own, I have logged out and back in but it is still logging in on hers can anyone help???

    I am afraid all apps are tied to the Apple ID they are purchased with and are not transferable.
    Your son have to buy those apps with his own Apple ID and start from scratch.

    What is the make & model number of the keyboard?
    You could get a keyboard remapping program & map someother key to the volumn key.

    Had to restore my Mac Book with Snow Leopard. My i Life disc appears to be damaged, and I can't restore my iPhoto application. I have searched for downloads but all appear to be upgrades. Any ideas on how to restore iphotos

    Given what you describe you will have to upgrade Snow Leopard by downloading and installing Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1. Then go to the App Store and sign in with your Apple ID. Purchase and download Mountain Lion to upgrade your OS. Then purchase the latest upgrades for the iLife applications which includes iPhoto.
    Or you can go on eBay, Google, or Amazon and purchase another copy of the DVD based iLife.

    Unfortunately, not much to go on here. There are any of  twenty different reasons why backups are not occurring, and no shortcuts that I know of to find out why.

    I'm on pages and for some reason this time, on a blank page, I cannot get the curser to show up.  Any ideas?

    I'll guess that you've opened a page layout template which does not have a text layer, therefore no cursor. You'll need to add text boxes or shapes to type in. If you just want to write a letter or similar, close the current document & then choose a blank document from the word processing section of the template chooser.

  • Installing Update Rollup 4 for R2. Question of post installation task

    I will be installing Update Rollup 4 for Service Manager 2012 R2 on our Orchestrator, Data Warehouse, Service Manager and Portal Server as well as updating the client Consoles.
    Following MS article
    http://support2.microsoft.com/kb/2989601/en-us?sd=rss#install.
    A bit confused about the Post installation tasks. Particularly the following:
    Resynchronize System Center Operations Manager mount point data
    To resynchronize Operations Manager mount point data after you apply this update, follow these steps:
    Disable all the Operations Manager configuration item (CI) connectors in the Service Manager console.
    In Windows PowerShell, check the current execution policy by running the following cmdlet:
    Get-ExecutionPolicy
    If the current execution policy is Restricted, set it to
    Remotesigned by running the following command:
    Set-ExecutionPolicy –force RemoteSigned
    Find the following PowerShell script in your System Center 2012 R2 installation directory:
    OMCIConnector_SyncMetadata_UpdateTimestamp.ps1
    By default, you should find this file in the following location:
    C:\Program Files\Microsoft System Center 2012 R2\Service Manager\PowerShell
    Run the following command from the Primary Management server:
    PowerShell .\OMCIConnector_SyncMetadata_UpdateTimestamp.ps1
    Revert the execution policy to the original value that it had in step 2.
    Enable and synchronize the relevant Operations Manager CI connectors.
    Make sure that all the mount point data is populated in Service Manager.
    I am guessing they are talking about the System Center Configuration Manager Connector but not sure. We don't have a Connector for SCOM. If by OMCIConnector they mean SCOM, then I don't need to worry about this.  If would be nice if they would tell
    you why you are doing this. I don't even know what "Mount Point Data" is.
    Does anyone know if it would cause any problems if I skipped this step? I hate doing stuff when I don't know why I am doing it. For example, step 8 "Make sure that all the mount point data is populated in Service Manager."
    What does that even mean?
    Also, I cannot even find the PowerShell script they are talking about in the C:\Program Files\Microsoft System Center 2012\Service Manager\Powershell folder so are they talking about SCOM or SCCM?

    All of the steps listed refer to the Operations Manager connections. none of these steps relate to the Config Manager connector.  If you are not using SCOM, or don't have a SCOM connector, then you can safely ignore these steps. 

  • VssNullProver stopped after installing Update Rollup 3 for System Center Data Protection Manager 2012 R2

    I recently installed Update Rollup 3 for System Center Data Protection Manager 2012 R2.
    As part of the update I updated all DPM Agents, including the ones on our Hyper-V Servers (which are part of a cluster). I also rebooted every DPM Protected Servers. After reboot all Hyper-V Servers raise a warning that the VssNullProvider service has stopped.
    Backup seems to work properly. I can start the VssNullProvider service manually. But after the next backup the service it is stopped again. Exactly the same issue occurs on our test Hyper-V Cluster. All our Hyper-V Servers run Windows Server 2012 R2 and
    we use System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2012 R2.
    Something is not ok with Update Rollup 3. Any suggestions?

  • I have downloaded updates for microsoft office and now the internet wont work - any ideas?

    I have downloaded updates for microsoft office and now the internet wont work - any ideas?

    If you want to simply do a 'fresh' install (versus wiping out all of your data and doing a 'clean' install) simply boot to your Recovery partition (hold down the Command and R keys whilst booting) and when the Recovery screen appears, elect to freshly install OS X.
    Don't know that will solve your problem, though... did you do the 'automatic' update or download the update as a disk image (.dmg)? I wouldn't think that would be causing your problems...
