Is firefox down today? Can't seem to log on my desktop (imac) today & could not download updated firefox on my mac air

I cannot get firefox to open on my imac today
Got the message to update on my mac-air and tried to do so but got the message that I "don't have permission to open some items"

It might help for you to post your Mac OS version (the "iOS 5.1" shown in your profile is not a computer OS) and the model iMac you have ("About this Mac" from your Apple menu is a good place to start).
I ask because OPTIARC drives tend to be used in iMacs newer than the pre-2006 models this forum covers. We want to be sure the advice you get is targeted to your model and not one that's over six years old.

  • I have used Firefox for over a year. For some reason it quit working and I can't seem to fix it. I uninstalled and reinstalled the download and it's still not working. When I click on the icon it says unable to connect.

    Yes, if you repurchase it you may lose your progress. The exception would be a game that stored all your progress on a server under your ID
    If you want to retain your progress you have two choices:
    1. Don't apply the update.
    2. Use your fathers account password to update the game.

    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you won't get the reset option - you will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get them reset.
    e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
    or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 . Or, if it's available in your country, you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

    Ok, now they are showing. I restarted my computer again and they are showing now.

  • I can't seem to remember my security answers and I'm not able to set up a rescue email address and Idon't know what to do.

    I can't seem to remember my security answers and I'm not able to set up a rescue email address and I don't know what to do.

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed, filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • I can't seem to log into Adobe Creative Cloud even though I'm connected to the internet?

    My computer is connected to the internet, but I can't seem to log into Adobe Creative Cloud to use InDesign....I've tried all the obvious tricks, restarting my comp/switching the internet off and on etc..... Any other bright ideas?

    I think Adobe has problems with its server since the last 2 days. Everyone is experiencing these problems world wide. Not all the time but several hours a day.

  • Hello. Just got Garageband'11 for my ipad 2. Can´t seem to be able to play more than two notes at once on touch keyboard. Help!

    Hello. Just got Garageband'11 for my ipad 2. Can´t seem to be able to play more than two notes at once on touch keyboard. Help!

    Thank you for your response.
    I am trying to sync them both to the same computer (Windows), and with the 2nd ipod, it looks like everything is going to work out fine, until I go to add songs from my itunes music library...then, after a few seconds of me hoping it will work, I get a message that says "Attempting to copy to Lisa's disk failed. The disk could not be read from or written to."
    I thought it might have been my ipod. But then I tried to download songs from my sister's computer, and even my work computer (just to see if it would work), and it did. So I'm not sure what is going on here. Is it my computer, or is it the ipod? Or is it itunes?
    Also, my sister in-law said her issue is similar, in that her itunes doesn't recognize her ipod now that my brother's ipod has been used on their computer. She gets the same message as I do...thus she is unable to download any songs onto her ipod.
    If you have any helpful tips, it would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you for your time and assistance.

    You have to delete the corrupt back-up so iTunes can at least back-up the current data on the iPhone and then restore it. Search these forums, there a several good posts on how to delete the corrupt back-up.

    Using iPhone/iPad Recovery Mode

    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school enviroment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

  • Safari could not download the file "Firefox 20.0.dmg" because there is not enough free disk space.

    What does this error message mean. I have pleanty of free disk space - Safari could not download the file “Firefox 20.0.dmg” because there is not enough free disk space.

    That misleading error message can be the result of moving a download while it's in progress. Right-click the download package and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. The file you downloaded may be in the folder that opens.

    I have just changed my iPad mini password a day ago, and when trying to access it today it worked fine until about 4:30 (GMT) when I could not access the device using the correct password. I am absoloutley 100% sure it's correct.Additional details:I was last using Kik messenger before it stopped working.I was sitting less than two foot away from the PS3 my brother was playing.I'm 14 but I'm not some spoilt kid who gets iPhones and iPads from his parents to mess around with, I have got important coursework and homeworks on there.Any help would be great Thanks.

    Hello ConfusedLlama
    If the password is not working to get into your iPad mini, you would need to follow the steps to restore it. If you have a back up through iCloud or through iTunes, you can restore from that back up and it would not bring back the passcode unless it is encrypted.

    It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.
    You can try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.
    Do not forget to re-enable the scanning in your anti-virus software after you are finished with downloading and installing.
