Installer starts, then quits, even as administrator? Deleted because of spyware. Any ideas?

I was getting garbage popups left and right of most websites. I use multiple browsers for various reasons. Had same problem with Chrome. Uninstalled, reinstalled, and they went away. With Mozilla, when I try to reinstall even as admin, the app opens in Task Manager for 2-3 seconds then shuts down. It never gives me the usual install choices. It seems clear to me that something is blocking the install.
I have shut off firewall and av software, no better. PS - I have same popup issue in IE which I rarely use.
Any ideas?

If you downloaded the installer with "stub" in the name, try using the "full" installer from the following page (scroll down to your language):
https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/
You may also want to do a little additional cleanup. To supplement your regular security software, this article lists tools that other Firefox users have found helpful: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].

Did you see any error messages during download or install?
If yes, you may need to sign out of your Cloud account so you may UN-install and then RE-install
If no... the program downloaded and installed with no error messages, you might want to ask in that forum

IPad lost it's "touch" you can't turn it on because you can't slide the slider. I did a simple reset, and then a full reinstall from iTunes - neither worked. Any ideas? We are a school so I can't even afford a "chat" with Apple. So thank you.

Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. That will cost nothing and you will then know what the problem is and what alternatives you have for a fix.

I recommend starting with a soft reset (pressing both home and power button until you see the apple then let go of the buttons) once you back on the home screen if you iPad still doing the same thing you may want to try a back up and restore

Double tap the Home button to bring up the multi-tasking bar...tap & hold any app until they all start to wiggle...tap the red minus sign to remove every app shown. Tap the Home button when finished. Try to delete the app now.

A former employee has returned a 17" MBP and cleared the OS. All attempts to reinstall are failing, start up disc, repower C pressed, Cmd-R etc - anyone any ideas?

Did you have the original OS installation disk? If not, call Apple Customer relations and provide them with the MBP serial number (on the bottom) and they will send you replacements. There is a charge.
If this is a late 2011 MBP, the it came with Lion installed. Try accessing the Apple servers with OPTION COMMAND R keys held down at start up. The display should show a picture of a globe. Proceed accordingly. If no success, call Apple as already described.

Whenever I click on the Itunes icon, a window pops up saying that `The file iTunes Library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes`. I then click ok and the pop up vanishes. Any ideas as to what I should do?

What version of iTunes are you using? An .itl file is something that Windows uses, or very old versions of iTunes on Mac. The library file on Macs is now .xml and has been since late iTunes 4.
Is iTunes running ok without any problems after you OK that message? If it is, then you may be able to ignore it if you can't account for why you're getting it. But make sure you take backups in case something happens in the future.

Thank you.

How did you get a Lion OSX install disc? They don't exist. Do you mean the gray disks that came with your 2007 MacBook?
If you mean the gray disks, try starting up with the "c" key held down.
What version of OSX is on your MacBook now? Have you tried booting from the Recovery partition?

Sounds like a major hardware problem.
If no change after restoring your iPhone as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup, there is a hardware problem.

You just need to reset the ipod by holding down the sleep button and home button for ipod touch or the menu and centre button on others for about 10 seconds

I get the same message when I open it from my iphone 5..."there was a problem connecting to facebook" there isnt a problem though
if i swipe left I see standard Friends at top, below it listsclose friends, family, then a help center, account settings, privacy settings, log out, etc. I dug around there for a while but didnt see any option to delete messages.
if i swipe right I see the word Favorites at the top. above that is a search option. to the right is a weird little symbol kinda like a wheel with gears on it. if i click that it gives me the option of Turn off Chat or Cancel. I did both, it just greys out the friends list that appears. If I click a name, the previous conversation appears. nothing to delete from there, just contact info if I click the i symbol or back to news feed.
