Installing 5.0.1 updating 5.0, I received a dialog box that said my Profile was missing. Wht do I do now?

I have an iMac, operating OS 10.6.8. I have using Firefox for years, most recently updated to 5.o. Tonight as I worked, a dialog box appeared saying I could upgrade to Firefox 5.0.1. I said the equivalent of OK, and it appeared that the installation was going on, but suddenly a dialog box said my Firefox Profile was missing and 5.0.1 could not be installed.
I did not know I had a Firefox Profile, nor where it was stored.
Please tell me what to do. I use Firefox for my Calendar. Should I abandon my Calendar on Firefox. I would prefer not to abandon it, because I am easily able to search with Firefox immediately after I use the Calendar.
In short, what should I do to upgrade to 5.0.1?

Firefox 5.0.1 and 3.6.19 contain changes that apply to the OSX operating system. Other OS's can update, but you will not receive an automated update notification. My Firefox 5.0 on Windows also is not yet recognizing an update to 5.0.1 using Help > About Firefox > Check for updates.
*See: https://developer.mozilla.org/devnews/index.php/2011/07/12/firefox-5-0-1-and-3-6-19-compatibility-updates-now-available/
Look at the Release Notes for each of the new versions; click on "What's New in Firefox" to expand that section for each version. <br />
'''SPECIAL NOTE to OSX users with Firefox 3.6.18: Read carefully about the change in Firefox 3.6.19'''.<br />

Updating Firefox from 5.0 to 5.0.1, the dialog box said my profile was missing. What should I do about that?

I use an iMac with OS 10.6.8, and Firefox 5.0.
When trying to upgrade Firefox to 5.1 it attempted, but I saw a dialog box that said it could not because my profile was missing. I did not know I had a Profile Box. What do I do to create one?
I want to upgrade to FF 5.0.1. I use FF daily, particularly I keep my calendar in Firefox only.
Is there a solution for my problem?

I forgot to mention also that when I tried to delete this icon, the trash eternally acted like it was emptyint the trash, but the progress bar was not progressing. I suppose that is because the file size is too large (812 MB).

I installed the system update to 10.7.3. After re-booting, my mail file was missing from the dock. Looked in applications and the mail application is missing. Any thoughts?

Thanks Paul; but, taking your suggestion didn't solve the problem. As mail is part of the OS, the updates don't have the capacity to reinstall applications; so, I had to reinstall the OS. I now have my mail back (although it didn't appear on the dock--I had to go to applications and activate it and then put it back in the dock. Thanks again for trying.

Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down together until you see the Apple Logo.
2. Sign out and sign back in to iTunes and App Store

Sounds like the device was dropped at some point and damaged as a result.
Take it to Apple for evaluation and a replacement.

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

ITunes keeps popping up a dialog box that says "An update to the carrier settings for your iPhone is available. Would you like to download it?" What is this?

iTunes keeps popping up a dialog box that says "An update to the carrier settings for your iPhone is available. Would you like to download it?" What is this? When I click on the "Learn More" button in the dialog box it takes me to a generic iTunes support page that has no relevance to carrier settings.

I got this three times within the last 4 hours and have been getting it almost every day since I use my new iPhone 6 - over a week now. This happens almost every time I connect the phone to my MacBook Pro, although every time I confirm and it indicates successful update.
It is highly unlikely that my carrier updates settings on daily basis or three times a day. It is almost surely a bug in the Apple system and anything but a timely and effective solution is unacceptable.
For debugging information, I recovered a backup from my former iPhone 5 onto the new one, using the same carrier and SIM.

That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

Latest Java Update - accidentally dismissing the admin/password dialog box at the end.

I did a Software Update on around April 14 (including this update) and at the END OF THE PROCESS, I was presented with a dialog box with an admin login and password. At this moment, I accidentally hit the ESC key and dismissed the dialog box. Then, I restarted my Mac and hoping that I can repeat the same process again, but however it says there are no more updates. I did a "java -version" and it says it using Update 31.
What was that dialog box requesting the admin/username at the end of the process? Was it affecting anything significant (or something not installed) because I accidentally dismissed it?
(I am using my mac from a "Standard" (not "Adminstrator") account.)
Kevin.

Download it from the apple site and run the installer that way:
Java for OS X Lion 2012-003
If you didn't give the installer the admin password it didn't install. So doing an explicit download and installing that way should work. Of course that too will ask for your admin password.

I have been waiting for two days for an app to install on my iPad. Seems like something is stuck as it just keeps displaying "installing". Can not see where I can delete and start over and it's preventing me from updating or downloading any more games. Acts like a corrupt file or something. Can anyone help solve this problem? Thanks

Did anyone ever suggest you reset your PRAM?
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238
Also might want to try resetting the SMC, although I
doubt there's an issue there.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304123
I'm getting tired of people who supposedly know what
they're doing simply guessing that resinstalling the
OS might solve the issue. It's like trying to dissect
a frog with a sledge hammer, and wondering why you
didn't learn anything about anatomy in the process.
These sorts of things, although bizarre, should be
(and probably are) fixable without major surgery.
Thanks for the suggestion... but I think my first question would be why these parameters would need re-setting? This is a new machine... It has never been shut down hard. It is used at most 10 hours per week... mostly using Office 2004 for MAC. I need to figure this out as I will soon need it as a Cs2/CS3 - Aperture workhorse.
I too agree that it is best not to use a sledge when a scalpel is needed... but as a novice to the MAC world I may have been misled by Apple support. I seems to have fixed the symptoms ( some) but appears NOT to have addressed the cause... which is what I am after.
Would TechTool Pro detect a bad HD or RAM?
Thanks....

I have installed the update for Itunes, when restarting it Itunes said a file was missing, I uninstalled it and downloaded it again and the same thing happened... Any clue what to do????

I have no clue why I keep getting this message, I downloaded and installed it three different times and still getting a message that a file or something is missing. My husband had no problem with his up date for Itunes. Any thoughts as to what to do???

What's the precise text of the message, please? (There's a few different ones I can think of that you might be getting.)

TS1702 Fitness HD for the iPad is no longer supported and it keeps saying that it needs to be updated in the badge on my app icon store. Apparently, it was bought by another company and now that company wants to charge me 2.99 to update my app. I

About a year ago, I purchased FItness Hd for the iPad. Yesterday, it showed up in the app badge as needing to be updated. I clicked it and now it keeps telling me that this app is no longer available for purchase. When I look into the app store, the same app is now for sale 2.99 under a different company. I have tried to delete and reinstall the app thinking it will clear out the badge on the app icon stating that I have one update. This is frustrating. Somehow, this company was sold and my old app/software is causing a conflict with the App store. Help???

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, my query is not so much about the sale of the company and the dream. I agree with you on that point. Good for them. My frustration is that this old app has now caused a glitch in my Apple App Store icon. I have a red badge with one update and it is referring to the old app that has been sold that needs to be updated. When I try to update the app it says no longer available for purchase. So I have since deleted that app in hopes that it would resolve the red badge issue. It has not. Somehow, that old app and the new app with the same name but by a different company has caused the glitch. I have reset all settings on my iPad, I have rebooted, I have deleted the app and still the red badge with the one update for the old app is there. Hmmm. . . I guess I need to take this into the Genius bar or wait for ios 7 in hopes that it will fix the glitch. Thanks again for your help.

Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
Update to the latest version of iTunes.
Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
Check that your security or firewall software is not interfering with ports 80 or 443, or with the server gs.apple.com.
Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you are using a proxy, try without using one.
