Just installed Firefox 7.0.1 on a Mac running OSX 10.6.8 - the installation Disc icon remians on the desktop and each time I launch, Firefox opens a window asking me to drag the Firefox icon to my Applications folder. How do I get this to go away?
I have installed the application to my applications folder and everything else is working perfectly. But normally, after you've installed a browser, the istallation disk icon that appears on your desktop can be ejected or deleted without detriment. Mine keeps coming back...
Make sure that Firefox gets installed properly.<br />
Open the DMG file and drag the Firefox program to the application folder on your hard drive.<br />
You shouldn't double-click the Firefox application to run it from the disk image, but drag it out of the DMG folder instead.

I just got an ipod classic 7th generation a couple days ago and I'm having a heck of a time with it. My latest problem is that with media on iTunes, I cannot eject the ipod because it says that it cannot be ejected because it contains files that are being used by another application. What application is this, and what do I do about it?
Hi newipoduser,
Here are some possible solutions:
Do you use musicmatch jukebox on your computer? If you do, you have to go into task manager on windows and end process mim.exe. It interferes with disconnecting ext devices
Empty your "trash/recycle bin."
If that doesn't work, try quitting all your programs, especially music-type programs, basically things that look for mp3's etc.
if that doesn't work, "log off" then "log on" and that should refresh/purge your OS system.
Finally, you can restart your computer.
Hope one of these helps!
Cheers,

Just updated to Mac OS 10.7.3 and each time I attempt to open Firefox I receive the message; "Firefox quit unexpectedly". Can't use FF! Repeated attempts to open FF result in the same message.
Downloaded FF again and the same message occurs.
Safari, of course, works but that is not my choice.Hey b00m3r,
Have you tried starting Firefox in Safe Mode? Hold down "shift" while Firefox is starting up. If the crash doesn't happen in Safe Mode, you should read [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]].
There is also a lot of useful stuff in the [[Firefox crashes]] Knowledge Base article. If you've recently upgraded, you might want to check out [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/latest-firefox-issues#w_firefox-crashes-when-i-start-it this article] as well.
Hopefully this helps! -
The sound effects icon is staying on the screen. How do I get this to go away
The sound effects icon is staying on my ipad. How do I get this to go away?
Thanks for the help.
Have A blessed and Wonderful Day!!!!!!!If the sound icon is stuck on the screen, then the pad thinks you are pressing the volume rocker on the side of the pad. Do you have a case or something that might be touching that rocker?
Some have reported that they have put a small dent in the pad body that presses the switch. If so, you need to somehow indent it.
Try a reboot. Press and hold both the home and sleep button until the apple logo appears. Ignore the red slider. -

When I go to start FireFox a box pops up that says "Firefox is now running in Safe Mode, which temporarily disables your custom settings, themes, and extensions." Than it gives me options to check mark.... like.... Disables all add-ons, reset toolbars, and controls, delete all bookmarks except for backups, reset all user preferences to firefox defaults, and restore default search engines.
How do I make this box go away?Nope I haven't put it in safe mode... no idea whats going on. I looked at the safe mode instructions and how to take it off safe mode and the article about how if it gets stuck. I did all of that and it's still stuck:-( I am thinking about uninstalling firefox and reinstalling it.

Recently I found it necessary to re-install my entire operating system, and I lost my ability to down load streaming videos. I am an artist almost 70 yrs. old, and am not very computer proficient which is why I purchased a MacBook Pro. I used Firefox/Mozilla to do downloading because it was easy. When I brought my system back up I found that the top 'Firefox banner' had changed from red, orange and yellow in color to shades of gray. With this change found that I no longer had the download 'tab' to click on to initiate downloads (located top right on the Firefox top section).
I've tried re-installing Firefox and Antbar download helper but am still not able to download. How do I get the download capability back again???? ......roxor999Your storage device is probably faulty. It would be helpful if you indicated the EXACT model/year MBP that you have.

So I just migrated (using the Assistant) my Admin account from my old Powerbook G4 to my MacBook Air (used) , but now it's disregarding its new Trackpad settings (such as scrolling and double finger tapping, etc.) It also won't let me find my Applications folder (I used Finder), whereas the Admin account can, but see back on my old laptop I this account was an Admin. I feel like there's something written that's telling it to behave like it did on the Powerbook. I don't know - me no professional, yo, that's why I'm here. NOTE: Before I migrated, I'd started using the Admin account on here; for example, I signed in with my appleid since I figured the accounts could be merged - guess not. A family member's been helping me, but I wanted feedback from the forum.
Thanks, guys!What exactly is the error you get?
How are you attempting this copy?
There's almost certainly a way to accomplish what you want to do (probably best from the terminal possibly copying the entire user dir and fixing up permissions, etc.) but I'm not sure you will end up with the results you want. There are plists in the preferences dir that you probably don't want to copy over (e.g., many of the com.apple.* prefererences). And many apps also create more than just plists. There may be stuff in Application Support, LaunchAgents, Internet Plug-Ins, etc.). And this would be stuff you do want to copy. Bottom line is it is not a trivial exercise which is probably why the system is slapping your hands for even attempting it -
When I try to use Quicktime Player I get message "install apple application support". Where do I go to get this?
Let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the QuickTimeInstaller.exe installer file to your hard drive:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL837
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the QuickTimeInstaller.exe, and select "Extract to QuickTimeInstaller". WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "QuickTimeInstaller".
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you? If so, does the QuickTime Player launch properly now?
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.) -
Pop-up box opens every time I open Firefox. This does not happen with IE. I've tried uninstalling both Adobe and Firefox and when I re-installed Firefox, the pop up appeared again. When I chose to save the file, it downloads and installs it but then the pop up appears again the next time.
Sounds that you saved the Firefox 5.0.1 installer to the desktop in the past and that you click that program instead of the Firefox 6 shortcut on the desktop.
You can create a new Firefox desktop shortcut via a right-click on the Mozilla Firefox item in "Start menu > All Programs > Mozilla Firefox".
Right-click the Mozilla Firefox item and choose: Send To > Desktop (create shortcut).
If the Mozilla Firefox entry in the Start menu is missing then you can use Windows Explorer to create a new folder structure and place a shortcut to the Firefox.exe program file in that folder
(C:\Documents and Settings\) C:\Users\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Mozilla Firefox -

I have never gotten this error before. I also tried restarting my computer but it says the same thing. I had no problem copying my documents or photos. Please help!
Quit iTunes if it's running. Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the page that opens.
Select My Processes from the menu in the toolbar of the Activity Monitor window, if not already selected. Enter "iTunes" (without the quotes) in the "Filter" text field. Select and quit any process shown in the process table. Try the copy again. -
recently installed McAfee Security for Mac. Free download from AT&T. Since then, Safari has been dropping all preferences each time I launch the app. Is it the new install or something else?
Step 1
Uninstall the McAfee product by following the instructions on whichever of the pages linked below is applicable:
How to install or uninstall McAfee Internet Security for Mac
How to manually remove VirusScan for Mac 8.6.x using a removal script
How to uninstall and reinstall McAfee Agent 4.x on Macintosh computers
Note that if you have already tried to uninstall the software, you may have to reinstall it in order to finish the job. If you have a different version of the product, the procedure may be different.
Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 2
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Show Info in Finder (or just Show Info)
from the contextual menu.* An Info dialog should open.
Does the dialog show "You can read and write" in the Sharing & Permissions section?
In the General section, is the box labeled Locked checked?
What is the Modified date?
If you don't have read and write access to the item, change the settings as directed here. Note, however, that if one file has wrong access settings, most likely others do as well. If the item is locked, unlock it.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Open a TextEdit window and paste into it (command-V). Select the line you just pasted and continue as above. -
