Is upgrading to the latest AE worth it?

I currently have an AE MB053LL/A, which is the first model they offered gigabit Ethernet.
I have a Mac Pro, a MacBook Pro, and a Netgear ReadyNAS NV+ hardwired to the AE and a PC, iTouch, and iPad connected to it wirelessly. Based on all of this hardware, are there any performance advantages to upgrading to the latest AE?

That would probably depend on what value you assign to the ability to:
1) Broadcast both a 2.4 GHz band and a 5 GHz band simultaneously, which will allow your "fastest" devices to work at their maximum speed while other devices work at their respective maximum speeds, with the slower devices on the 2.4 GHz band not slowing down the faster devices on the 5 GHz band.
2) Broadcast a separate Guest Network* to allow users to connect to the internet without access to any of the devices on your "private" network.
*The Guest Network can only be enabled if the AirPort Extreme is connected to a modem (single ethernet port).
Chances are, you may have a current internet connection speed in the 10-20 Mbps range. Your current router is already much faster than this, so there will be no noticeable improvement in your internet connection by upgrading to a newer router. Another way of saying the same thing is that your internet connection will always be the "choke" point on your network. If your goal is a faster internet experience, you'll need to look for a faster internet service.

Sorry you are having problems. First of all try Fifrefox's safemode.
*[[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
If that works post back for further advice.
Next step, if safe mode did not work.
First: Try a clean install, (you have had a none standard version installed previously) that involves deleting the program files. Then if necessary try troubleshooting by creating and using a clean empty Firefox profile.
See
* this recent post [/questions/940399#answer-377134]
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Clean_reinstall
Second: try a New Profile
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_Manager#Creating_a_new_profile
* this will be an additional profile, it is still worth backing up any existing or currently working profile on a regular basis
**[[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
* Until you are absolutely confident about the repercussions I suggest
** always use an empty folder when creating a new profile
** never delete or rename profiles, just disable or remove shortcuts
** after creating a new test profile open it and check for any addons or plugins that may be have been included by default

I upgraded to the latest Firefox and found I have lst my bookmarks, please advise how I can restore, if it is possible.

sorry cant think what details you may require, the problem is simply that I had bookmarks and when I upgraded to the latest edition of Firefox they were gone. I understand this is a common prob. and if i only knew what the devl I was doing i'm sure its easy to fix..HELP

Always make sure that you do NOT remove "personal data" when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords including data in profiles created by other Firefox versions.
You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.

I recently upgraded to the latest version of FF and now when using a webmail client I am routinely logged out when I try to search e-mail. Why? I go to IE and it works... but, I hate IE.

Unstable means it can vary in stability day by day as it can be crash prone to being stable. Features can be a work in progress for a while. The May 24 Nighty build was crash prone for a lot of testers for example.

Where did Google Earth go when I upgraded to the latest version of Firefox?

I clicked the popup that upgraded to the latest version of Firefox - and clicked to give it permission to make changes to my computer - and my Google Earth was no longer there. I restored my computer to before I had made the Firefox changes and my Google Earth was there but I got a blank page when I tried to open Firefox. Then I re-downloaded Firefox and Google Earth is gone. I would like to have both. If I have to do without one I would give up Firefox and use Internet Explorer until the problem gets fixed.

I doubt it is a Norton Security problem. Maybe. I solved it by deleting the account and re-installing it.

I am using oracle Apps ERP in firefox wherein there is a Java Plugin , This is working fine in 3.5 version but as soon as i am upgrading to the latest version oracle is not working and firefox crashes. I can't upgrade even though i wish to

We are using Oracle ERP in our company which is a web based ERP system. I am using firefox to work in ERP for convinieince pf working and using internet at the same time. This requires a plugin provided by oracle oajinit.exe to be installed in Plugins it is a JAVA plugin which opens the ERP Screens. This works fine in versions prior to 3.6 version of firefox. However, after upgrading to 3.6 version the forms do not open and firefox crashes. Due to this i am not able to upgrade to the latest version else i'll have to operate the ERP in internet explorer and using firefox for browsing which i do not want. The plugin used for the ERP is "* JInitiator 1.3.1.18 for Netscape Navigator (DLL Helper)"

Firefox 3.6 needs the Java Second Generation Plugin which comes with newer versions than 1.6.0_03 - update Java, the latest version is 1.6.0_22

The apple store is so unhelpful. I have an iMac computer operating on Mac OSX 10.5.8. I want to upgrade to the latest Mountain Lion operating system so I can work with the iCloud on my computer and download my emails. I can't seem to purchase this on-line as it keeps telling me to go to the app store. I haven't got the app store on my computer as I am told I need iCloud for which I need the new operating system, which I can't download or purchase as I am sent back to an instruction telling mee to go to the app store icon.
How difficult can it be to simply purchase the software on-line have it shipped to you so you can install it, in the event it cannot be downloaded as it appears it can't be based on my curent operating systems being Mac OSX 10.5.8.

It´s possible to upgrade from the latest mavericks beta to the final version?

Hi all. I´m thinking in becoming a developper because I want to install mavericks beta on my macbook pro (I can´t wait for the battery and ram upgrades). But i have a question before that. It´s posible to upgrade from the latest mavericks beta to the final version? , or Ihave to restore to mavericks final version and then use a time machine Backup?
Thanks in advance.
Sorry for english

No one who knows can say, because Mavericks is not released yet.
To get a Free copy that can be updated, you need to have a paid developer membership, at a minimum cost of at least US$100/ annually. (This may also include one Developer Tech Support incident and other benefits.)
Apple has lowered the cost of new versions of Mac OS X to about US$20. If Mavericks is released at about that price, buying a legitimate copy instead of depending on a quirky developer version that cannot be updated should not be a difficult decision.

I have bought Lightroom standalone version 5 recently. After the release of Lightroom 6, I would like to upgrade to the latest version. How can I do?

When I try to upgrade to the latest version from 5.7 the price shows as 50% of the full price. Is this the way to proceed, I meant the price is too high for the upgrade. Any solution to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance.

$79 is the standard upgrade price. If that isn't suitable then you will have to stick with your present version.

I've been working at the same problem for hours now and it's really driving me crazy so any help would be greatly appreciated.

It is working now. I no longer get the message about the item not being available in the US and I can access the store.

I can no longer (since upgrading to the latest firefox) open up multiple tabs of the same page (something I need to be able to do when emailing and referencing multiple emails while writing one email). The only option it gives me is to 'switch to tab'.

I'll try to make this clear. I USED to be able to left click on a hyper link and the hyper link would open in a NEW tab. Now for some unknown reason the hyper link by default opens in the same tab (window). I have to right click the hyper link in order for it to open in a NEW tab. (Yes, my 'tools'> 'options'> 'tabs' are set to "open new windows in a new tab." (Please no answers telling me to get rid of the Ask toolbar because I don't have one.) Thank you.

After upgrading to the latest Firefox (3.6.6) today, the browser will no longer open any websites, I just get a blank page

After upgrading to the latest version of FF, I can no longer access any webpages. The IE browser does work though.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== i upgraded FF software ==
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.0; Trident/4.0; Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1) ; SLCC1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; Media Center PC 5.0; eMusic DLM/3; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 3.5.21022; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; .NET4.0C; OfficeLiveConnector.1.5; OfficeLivePatch.1.3; Creative AutoUpdate v1.40.01)

I had to go back to the last install file I had on hand, which was 3.0.9 because FF "denied proxy" after upgrading. Once I get that message, the program won't even open until I install an older version. Upgrading again yields the same results.

I upgraded to the latest iTunes 10.2.2.12 and now it won't play any music. I can do everything else, except play music. I'm on Windows 7. Any ideas?

i had this problem and finally figured it out. all that you need to do is go to your start menu and click on computer. select your main drive, (local drive) c usually. Next open the users file follow by your user name file, which is just like it sound it is a file labled as whatever your name is as you have it on your computer. Then you open up the AppData file. Next open the Roaming file. After that open the Apple Computer file followed by the iTunes file. Now you should see the folder labled iTunes Plug-ins folder. Now just Delete that folder. After that go to your iTunes and play your music.
If for some reason you don't see the AppData file you need to go to the upper left of your screen on select organize. a drop down menu will appear and you need to select folder and searc options. a small folder options window will appear. in this window you need to select the view tab. you need to select the show hidden files, folders, and drives bubble. now hit apply and then ok. that will allow the AppData folder to be seen.
