Internet Explorer won't connect after Firefox update.

I have searched relentlessly trying to get IE back online. I cannot register AutoCad (which I need for school in a few days), until IE can access the internet. All my searching points to asking Mozilla why your update, or what your update may have done to forbid IE from accessing the internet/network. Brilliant on your part, makes your product seem more reliable and forces users to use your product. I do. I love Firefox, hate IE. But I NEED Internet Explorer for too many things. There are far too many websites and programs which will only function via IE. It's IE version 8. I have Firefox 5.0.
Thanks, Kym

Sounds very much like a firewall problem. Turn off the firewall completely. Also check the proxy settings on the computer. (On XP this is Internet Options control panel and the LAN Settings button on the Connections tab.)
Which firewall do you use?

Send button in Lotus Notes webmail won't work after Firefox update

I've been using Firefox to connect to my company's Lotus Notes email servers with no problems for months now. Starting this past Friday, after an update, the send buttons no longer work. I can get and view my email but cannot send anything out. Anyone know how to fix this?

Another work around: in the new message tab change the "format" from rich text to plain text... then the send button works...

Ipod mini won't connect after software update

I was using my ipod mini without problems on my mac powerboook until I downloaded and installed the latest ipod software updater yesterday. Since installing the application and clicking update in the software I can't get my computer to recognise the mini at all no matter what I do. Neither Itunes or the software updater sees my ipod and the ipod itself either says do not disconnect or shows a folder icon with an exclamation mark. Anybody know how to get out of this limbo state it seems to be in?

One thing you can try (AT YOUR OWN RISK - though I have done this on my own iPod mini using my PB and it has fixed issues similar to those that you are reporting), connect the iPod to your mac and then launch the disk utility app. If you're on a windows machine, this obviously won't help you although there may be a similar procedure. When the disk utility app comes up, if your iPod shows up in the left panel after a moment, highlight it by clicking on the name. If you try to verify it, you'll probably get a report of errors - don't panic - go to the erase pane and erase the drive (I think you can select either format with journaled or unjournaled - they both seem to work for me). MAKE SURE YOU"VE SELECTED THE iPOD DISK BEFORE YOU ERASE THE DRIVE!!!
After you erase the drive, you'll need to reapply the latest iPod update to restore the iPod OS (if you don't do this you may still be able to load music but it won't play and you'll still see the exclamation point display). After you reapply the update, you will hopefully back to normal. Re load your tunes and enjoy your iPod again!
Hope this helps.

TS1741 Apple TV won't connect after software update

Apple TV worked superbly until I updated the software today.
Now it won't work, asks me to connect to a PC.
I don't have a desktop, and don't have the appropriate USB lead to connect Apple TV to a PC...

Take the device to a friends and restore it via their computer or take it to an Apple store.

3 of the 9 thumbnails in the new tab window won't appear after Firefox update.

I've waited until the page stops loading and it still won't appear. It works if I change the site. The 3 sites in question are Facebook, Pinterest, and Sidereel. I haven't changed any settings on those sites. I'm stumped.

This is a known bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=756881

You need to ask Apple for assistance with getting back into your old ID. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to resolve this issue through the Account Security team, fill out and submit this form.

Firefox won't start after downloading update. I've reinstalled Firefox, still won't start. Help says check virtualization settings. What and where are virtualization settings? I have Windows XP.

This might be Zone Alarm since it provides virtualization. Please try the instructions to turn off virtualization in the following support question

Both iPod and iPad won't connect after update.

Both iPod and iPad won't connect after update. iTunes says "can't allocate a resource"

I had the same problem after updating to iOS 7 today. I did follow the advice on another site, but additionally rebooted my iMac. Worked after that.
Follow these steps to reset the Lockdown folder:
Disconnect all iOS devices from your computer and quit iTunes.
From the Finder, choose Go > Go to folder.
Type the following and then press Return:
/var/db/lockdown.
The Finder window should display one or more files with long alphanumeric file names.
In the Finder, choose Edit > Select all. Then, choose File > Move to Trash. Enter an administrator password if prompted.
Note: Do not delete the Lockdown folder itself. Delete only the files contained inside the Lockdown folder.
Reconnect your iOS device and open iTunes
My Additional step: reboot the Mac. Your iPad should give the first indication that it has worked by asking you to "trust this computer" or some such. Agree. Then iTunes should have reopened with your iPad showing and syncing.

Internet Explorer not allowing others to view Updates from my webpage done via Firefox

I have recently discovered that people who use Internet Explorer are unable to view any updates that I do to my webpage. I use Firefox as a browser. Are you able to enlighten me on what to do?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== seems to have started about a month ago as far as I can tell ==
== User Agent ==

The problem conceivably could be with codecs or video card drivers that are no longer compatible and need updating. A temporary workaround may be to try older versions of Firefox or FlashPlayer. There are possibly other related posts such as [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/790188 this one].
You may also find information on the Adobe forums. Another consideration is FlashPlayer's use of hardware acceleration which you may need to turn on or off for better compatability. That is likely to be discussed on youtube/google's own forums and the Adobe Forums such as [http://forums.adobe.com/message/3509262 this post]

Internet explorer 6.0+ or Mozilla Firefox 1.5+ ??

Hello fellow forum-readers,
I'm from the Netherlands so my english might be a bit terrible sometimes..
I just got my macbook Yesterday and after finally getting a internet connection i tried surfing to my school site. Unfortunately i get the next message:
This application requires Internet Explorer 6.0+ or Mozilla Firefox 1.5+
[userAgent:Mozilla\5.0(Macintosh;U;Intel Mac OS X 1064; nl-nl(AppleWebKit/533.18.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.0.2Safari/533.18.5]
i tried to download a Mozilla Firefox from the apple site ( it was like 3.6.??) but it didn't worked and i don't know what to do now. Do i need internet explorer or mozilla firefox, what is the difference??
Also when i put, using a USB, word documents on my mac i cannot see the illustrations/pictures that used to be on there?? How is this possible? Hopefully you can help me solve these issues a.s.a.p.
Greetings, Roos

We use an Airport Extreme in my office, which works fine for me. Occasionally we need to have more than one computer running on it, but for some reason it won't connect to the internet. It says we have internet, but won't connect to wifi. What's going on?

I use my computer everyday in our office and have no issue connecting to the internet/wifi, but when my boss comes in and tries to connect it doesn't work. It tells her she has internet, but won't connect to the wifi. We've tried a few different tactics(the basic ones I've seen on here), but nothing seems to be working for us. My computer automatically connects to our wifi.
Just recently the Airport Extreme has started with the blinking amber colored light on the front, which I believe means something is wrong? Can anyone help us figure out what's going on and why we can't get my boss' computer to connect as it should?
Thank you!

Here's an update:
Now the light is not blinking. It's a solid, consistant green. I don't know if it helps to narrow it down or anything, but I just figured I'd mention it.

ITunes won't open after OS update to Yosmite

ITunes won't open after OS update, ITunes has been updated, it won't open or bounce. It will not allow me to move it to trash or reinstall it. I have already updated to OS X Yosmite two times as directed by apple, I have rebooted in safe made as well as Command/Option/P/R before start up. I have opened console/system log to see if there is anything going on but when I click on Itunes nothing happens, not even so much as half a line of script. I'm stumped. If I wanted someone to tell me to turn it off and on again I'd just watch IT Crowd. please help

Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities
If you head into your applications folder and locate iTunes. Right click iTunes and show package contents. In there there will be a contents folder --> MacOS --> double click on the iTunes terminal icon. This should force iTunes to open via a terminal window and at the very least it will tell you what it is getting stuck on.

When I try to download applications such as Internet Explorer, Yugma, and iTunes in Firefox, I just get a window that says "save" or "cancel", but never one that says "run" so I don't think it's actually installing anything. It shows up in a "download" window, then the icon shows up on my desktop. When I click on it to launch it, it says "open with" and I get the same "save/cancel" window. It's a continuous circle. What am I doing wrong??
== This happened ==

== I don't know. I never downloaded apps through Firefox until all of a sudden Internet Explorer didn't work. ==
== User Agent ==

What application are you choosing to open the files with?
Because of how integrated it is with windows IE should work. If it's not working, something more widespread could be wrong with your computer that would also prevent other browsers from working properly. Of course we'd love you to stick with Firefox, but you should get help with IE, too.

My iTunes won't open after last update. Can anybody help me?

I had similar problem this time and last time when I upgrade/update iTune, and subsequently solved the problem through the help of this person. You may give it a try and see if this works for you. It works for me now and then. Good luck.
