Latest upgrade continues to load non stop for hours.

Tried several times to download to latest version of Fire fox software from my laptop. First I get "connecting to the upgrade server" then "downloading Fire Fox". However download continues for several hours nonstop. This has never happened before. I am mystified.

See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update (Software Update not working properly)
Remove the files in the updates and updates\0 folder.
You may need to delete active-update.xml and updates.xml as well if present.
C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox\updates
(%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox)
If you have problems with updating then easiest is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version and remove the Firefox program folder to do a clean install of the new version.
Do a clean (re-)install:
* Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* You may need to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • Calendar has been non-functional for hours, with small screen saying "Moving calendars to server account..." Help?

    Calendar on Mavericks MacPro has been non-functional for hours, with small screen saying "Moving calendars to server account..." How can I restore its function?

    Sorry. I found some other advice that solved the problem ere I saw your response.
    The advice was:
    Go to Finder. Holding "Option" key, find Library in "Go" pull down menu.   In Library. Select Calendars. To desktop, drag all files with the word "cache." Then go to Preferences (still in Library) and drag to desktop "com.apple.ical.plist".  Restart. Now Calendar is working perfectly, and rechecking under Library, the caches files and the com.apple.ical.plist  that were dragged to the desktop have reappeared in Calendars and Preferences.
    All is well. Many thanks for your reply! Sorry that I did not get to check it out.

  • Ipod 80gb is stuck on apple screen and clicks. Continue to restart non stop

    I have two ipods and both are having the same problem. One is a 2gb nano and the other is an 80gb 5th gen. Both will go to the apple load screen and sit there for a second or two and restart and never end this sequence for hours. The 80gb 5th gen will make clicking noises between restarts. Both batteries have been charged and I even replaced the battery in the 80 gb with a new one and still the same problem. I thought maybe the hard drive was to blame but the nano doesn't have one. I have no idea what it could me.
    Here is a video I posted on you tube as well. Not the best quality but you get the idea.

  • Latest version of FireFox loads non-requested pages, and now will not load?

    Over the last few days, Firefox has been acting a bit strangely. Like loading pages that I didn't ask for. And quite ordinary rather than dangerous sites.
    And then tonight, I closed Firefox, and when I tried to load it a few minutes later, it won't load - at all?
    And it's been refusing to load on and off for a while. I think in the last two or three weeks, I have re-installed it about 5 times.
    Has anyone else experienced this?
    Or know how to fix it?

  • Aperture 3.3 continues to process non-stop

    So I finally broke down and purchased A3 after using the demo... I installed on a 2.4 MBP, 4 gigs of RAM. I imported nearly 200 gigs off an external drive that contained my iphoto library onto a new external fw800 drive. THe entire import ran fine, everything seems to be there, however I noticed that whenever I launch A3 it never ceases to stop "processing". I even let the machine run A3 all day today to see if it would ever finish "processing".. negatory. Is this normal? I am not editing anything... I am simply launching the app and it continues to process.... Anybody out experience the same thing? Is this normal? Is this connected to the fact that my library is pretty huge?

    Thanks Eric!
    Apparently it was a faces issue... it is tracking through all my photos looking for faces I've marked.

    Try resetting your iPod and then reconnect it to the Internet. If that won't work, I may suggest for you to do recover.

    This solved my questionRe: ios update problem - 7.1 11D167 iphoto not picking up new photos
    Mar 20, 2014 7:15 AM (in response to JdinPa)
    I figured out the fix for the Mac users having this problem. I connected my iPhone to my iMac and started iTunes. A dialogue came up in iTunes, I OK'd that and then OK'd the usual "Do you trust this Mac" that comes up on my iPhone.
    Suddenly Image Capture launched itself and there were all my photos, ready to be downloaded.
    As a workaround see if Image Capture can see and download your photos to a folder on the Desktop.  They can be imported from there into iPhoto.

  • Restarted ipod and it continues to restart non-stop

    hey, i reset my ipod nano and it continues to restart nonstop, also, my computer (windows xp) is not reading my ipod, i need to use this tommorow on a trip so will someone please respond!! can anyone help!!??
    ???   Windows XP  

    Well, it's after "tomorrow"...
    Start you iPod in Disk Mode by holding Select (middle button) and Play/Pause for a few seconds. You can now connect to your iPod with iTunes and remove the last files added.
    Reboot your Ipod by holding Menu and Select a few seconds.
    It seems to be a problem with some mp3-files, either strange header-information or some weird problen with gapless playback.

  • What is caused my iPhone 4 to vibrate non-stop for 5 minutes?

    I tried to reboot the phone but it just stayed black and vibrating.

    Try a restore as new, see if the issue resolves itself.
    If not, then it would be time to take it to Apple for evaluation.

  • HT1758 Power failure in the middle of a software update and not the computer will not boot up.  The computer just has a white screen with a grey apple and just loads non stop.

    My iMac will not boot up after a software update.  the screen is all whute will show a grey apple in the middle and will look like it is working but nothing happens; this can go on forever.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Do you have a backup in the form of a bootable clone or Time Machine? Restore that and then try the update again.
    Some things to try here (Safe Boot)

    Another option might be to download the standalone from Apple Downloads on another Mac and try installing it in Firewire Target Disk Mode to the Mac that was interrupted during the update.

  • The iCal application says it is upgrading but it has been up for hours and I cannot quit it. Help?

    It is getting really annoying. Any help would be appreciated.

    There is a way to force quit the application. Press the  "Command," "Option," and "Esc" keys at the same time and a window will appear. This window will give you an option of which application you want to force quit. I hope this helps!

  • How can I read non-deleted text messages from months ago without having to continuously press "Load Earlier Messages"?

    I never deleted text messages from a specific person in case I ever wanted to go back and look at them. Now months have gone by and I don't feel like continuously pressing "Load Earlier Messages" for hours trying to get back and look at them. Is there anyway I can upload the whole conversation on to my computer and read the entire conversation from the beginning?

    Yes.
    I use iBackupBot.
