I have STILL NOT received an answer to my question as of this date. I am VERY disappointed in Firefox support.

My App Store is connected to another account. I've tried to alter all my settings through iTunes, The App Store on both the phone and my Mac but it is still connected to the original owner's apple ID. Is there something I can do?

Turn off Find My iPhone in iCloud on the iDevice.
Log out of iMessage, Facetime, remove Apple ID from iTunes & App Store.
Use Settings > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.
Then set it up as a new iPhone with your own Apple ID.

HT5313 I have been trying for weeks to download update 10.7.5 and cannot do so. I do get a message at the end - "connection reset by peer". Can anyone shed any light on why I cannot download this update and what the message may mean? Thanks.

Have you verified that the account information you have stored in iTunes on your computer, EXACTLY mirrors the information you have on file on your iPad? For example, if you say you live on 1234 Road in iTunes, but on your iPad you say you live on 1234 Rd., you'll have an issue. Make sure the information on both sides is the same.

When I try to install CS6 Design and Web Premium from a disk I get this message "We are unable to validate this serial number..." What is the reason for this?

I purchased a disk copy of CS6 Design and Web Premium from a reputable seller last week and when I try to install it with the serial number I got it says "We are unable to validate this serial number for CS6 Design and Web Premium. Please contact Customer Support." What is the reason for this?
Is the serial number invalid?

Hi Ned,
Thanks for the suggestion. I eventually got in touch with Adobe Technical Support and it turned out that my Adobe Application Manager was not the latest version. They downloaded the latest version and installed it and that seemed to solve the problem. I was able to install my CS6 Creative Suite and validate the serial number. All seems to be going well at the moment.

I've just bought "order and chaos. But when i try to install it to the iphone 3gs it says that im not compatible . I got the version 3.1.3 on my iphone and it says that i should atleast have that version to run the game. HELP ME!!!!!!

Hi, i've just bought the game "Order and chaos" on i-tunes for my iphone 3gs. But when i try to install it to my Iphone it says that im not compatible.I need to know what the problem is. Help me please, i dont like to pay for something that dosn't work!

i have downloaded the most current version and when i try to install it, it tells me my computer software is not new enough but it will not show me any software updates?
Is that a Mac OS or a Windows OS you're running on that computer, dawn? If it's a Mac OS, what do you have? 10.5.8 Leopard or something higher?

No viruses on mac but should i still get anti-virus program?

I am getting a mac next week and i would like to know if i should buy an anti virus program even though macs dont get viruses.Thanks

There will be conflicts, and pages upon pages with arguments for/against anti-virus programs on a Mac.
ClamAV is a small program, unlike Norton, does NOT create any instability within MacOS and does not slow MY system down. I am not sure if you have used ClamAV, but there are thousands of users who use it WITHOUT a problem.
I use Clam to scan for a possible virus that come through e-mail, (ClamAV does scan e-mail too) and I use Microsoft Office tons, and use it between OS. Better to be safe than sorry, slowing down my computer or not. Again, I have not had any problems with installers, system performance, loss of memory etc. It's worth it IMO.

Itunes wasn't working, I've uninstalled it and reinstalled it but I can't get it to complete the installation

I got an Apple update message saying that there was a new version of iTunes so I tried to install it, this failed, so I uninstalled iTunes and have made several attempts to reinstall but it won't complete. There is an error message :
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Runtime Error!
Program c:\program files\itunes\itunes.exe
R6034
An application has made an attempt to load the c runtime library incorrectly.
Please contact the application’s support team for more information
I've rung Apple support and they want £129 before they will help.
Can anyone advise, as I can't afford to pay £129!
Thank you

I deleted all versions of firefox and then tried to reinstall version 5. However, I keep getting a message that the system must be rebooted to finishing previous install. What do I need to do to fix this?

I download firefox 6 and after everything was complete, I tried to open firefox and received error messages saying "problem loading pages:

you original problem is almost certainly your anti virus, I would also hazard a guess your new one is as well.
Thunderbird does not require a reboot on install, or uninstall.

WHEN I'M IN MY E-MAIL , I KEEP GETTING AN ERROR BOX COMING ON MY SCREEN , SAYING I HAVE A PROBLEM .NO MATTER WHAT I DO IT KEEPS COMING AND SOME TIMES CLOSING MY E-MAIL.

FIX THE PROBLEM , I CANN'T or TELL ME HOW

Thanks Davey96. Your reply took me to other web pages and I found a whole load of people with the same problem, apparently due to restrictive practices. So, I understand the problem and there doesn't seem to be a single easy solution, but it can be worked around.
