ITunes updates and Firefox 3.0 won't open up after installation...

I really hope someone can solve this thing...
I can't install iTunes updates (from 7.1.2 on) and Firefox 3.0, because they both present the same problem: after download and regular installation, when I click on the .app to open it up, the icon jumps two or three times in the dock, then it disappears and bye bye.
At this point there is just nothing i can do, if not uninstall the newer version using AppDelete and reinstall the last working version, that is Firefox 2.* and iTunes 7.1.1 ...
As you can see i'm on an iMac with OSX 10.4.11..
does someone have a clue what is the cause of this???

what is that "archive and Install"?

yes, i remember that i tried to log in with another account and the software worked...
Then the software is not the problem. The problem is something specific to your account. Performing an archive & install will unlikely work in this case as the reinstall will retain your user settings (I assume you do want to retain them at any rate) and that's where the problem is lurking
Is a crash report generated when the apps don't work? If no "Unexpectedly Quit" dialog window appears, check in Home > Library > Logs > CrashReporter to see if there are logs for iTunes/Firefox. If there are, can you post the text of the most recent crashes here?

Recent update of Firefox now it won't open or start!

Hi, When firefox opened, it updated automatically so I'm not sure what version I have now but after update, it won't open or start again. There's no error message or anything. Just won't open! I download and reinstalled firefox 3.6 over it but it still won't open. Help please!
PS. I found an article here about what to do when firefox opens here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/releases/fix-extensions.html. I went to Profiles folder and change the chrome folder to chrome-backup but still won't open.

Wow, still no help... anyways, firefox works for me now.. I downloaded an older version here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
Firefox 3.5 works.
Finally able to use Firefox but will turn off automatic update from now on!

I have an iphone 5 and I just installed the latest ios update and now I can't open my email app and I can't receive calls. All of my apps have been updated. How can I fix this?

Try a reset on the phone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. If it still isn't working, then restore the phone.

I just ran the most current Firefox update and now the program won't open. I keep getting an error for the XUL Runner that says "Platform version 6.0.2 is not compatible with minversion =6.0.1 maxversion 6.0.1. Restarting didn't clear this problem.

I also did a System Restore and that didn't clear the problem, either.

If you use ZoneAlarm Extreme Security then try to disable Virtualization.
Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder.

Firefox suddenly won't open, have run virus scan, reinstalled, and tried to run firefox.exe-p, none have worked and firefox.exe-p won't open either. Win 7

4. Click OK.
Acts the same as trying to open FireFox. Also when reinstalling it said FF was open. The only way to close it was to restart the computer. However when Shut Down button is pushed, FF is not listed as a program that is open.

Hi geneo3711, <br/> sorry you are having problems.
There are many possible reasons for problems lets look first at the ones I consider most likely:
In ordinary circumstances Firefox only runs one instance using one profile. If you have Firefox not shutting down properly that may prevent you from starting Fifrefox until you have found and killed the process. (Also look for plugincontainer which may also exist).
If you are certain Firefox is not already running then the problem is often that a Firewall or security related program is blocking Firefox. This is especially likely if you have installed new security software ,a new version of Firefox, or have tried to restore the computer.

I just installed the new iTunes update and now 10.6.8 cannot open iTunes.

No other operating, booting or recognition issues.

Firefox, Safari, and PhotoShop each handle embedded color profiles differently. For an add-on that makes it easier to experiment with Firefox's color management options, you might be interested in: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/color-management/ Color Management :: Add-ons for Firefox]. I haven't tried it myself.

Desktop Manager won't open up after installation

There were a couple of posts on this top back in mid 2010 but unfortunately no reply but I'm hoping someone out there can help:
Whenever I try to start up up Desktop Manager software I get a Windows message saying "... has encountered a problem and needs to close." There is some help about this problem occuring at synchronization but I can't even get started at all! I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software several times but to no avail. Oddly and maybe significantly, at download, says the software is 108MB but the installed software states only 99.5MB. I am running Windows XP.
Can anyone help? Thanks
Solved!

Hi Graham,
I'm running Windows XP 2002, SP3 version. I have a 1.75GHz Pentium processor and 1GB RAM.
Forgive me, I'm not 100% clear on your second question. I downloaded the file from www.blackberry/desktopsoftware. I use Google Chrome as my browser and I ran the set up file straight from the toolbar at the bottom of the browser rather than from where the file is saved in My Documents/ Downloads.
Does that answer your query?

It says it cannot removed the older version of iTunes.
Doublechecking before proceeding ... what's the precise text of that message, please? (There's a couple of different ones I can think of that you might be getting.)

I think figured out what is going on here... If you have set your Windows OS time manually, Apple iTunes will not honor the time you set in Windows XP...
In my case, I had not applied the Windows update that changes the Daylight savings rules. No big deal I thought... I can easily correct the time manually. Well... iTunes will not like it if you do that. You have to have your daylight savings rules set correctly on the PC. Microsoft has a free program called TZEdit that will let you adjust the DST boundaries.
Once I set the rules correctly and then set my time keeping back to "Automatic" it fixed it. Hope this helps...

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.

Have reformatted my Imac using original discs (installed leopard (10.5)) tried to do the software update but it cant download the itunes update and when it gets to the configure update screen after restart for main update, it just gets stuck. HELP!

have reformatted my Imac using original discs (installed leopard (10.5)) tried to do the software update but it cant download the itunes update and when it gets to the configure update screen after restart for main update, it just gets stuck. HELP!
The configure bar gets about an 1/8 full and then just does nothing. I think its lists the update as combo update? cant remember with out checking.
I have tried to do the disk verify and repair but this has made no difference.
Please let me know what i need to do, I have reformatted the mac just to start over as was clogged with a lot of useless data, I had installed lion (10.7) from the app store previously and now cant seem to find a way to re install lion. I hope I dont need to pay for it again?

If you erased your hard drive, you'll need to reinstll OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard to access the App store. You won't have to pay for OS X 10.7 Lion again. Did you try booting to the recovery partition by holding the command and r keys down? If that's still there, you can reinstall OS X 10.7 from there.
If you're looking to install the current iTunes, you need OS X 10.6.8 at a minimum.
If you're still trying to update OS X 10.5 Leopard, you can download the combo update from here. Download, use Disk Utility to repair permissions, apply the update, then repair permissions again. That will take you to OS X 10.5.8.
