    I get the message 'itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close' when trying to open itunes 11.1.1.11.

  • Error message after update "Safari cannot open a browser window and may be

    My daughter just did an update and got the following error message: "Safari cannot open a browser window and may be missing important resources. Try installing Safari again.
    Any thoughts or tips as to what happened?

    Just a few pieces of clarifying information... This is Safari on OS X you're talking about, right? Also, what update did your daughter install? Have you tried reinstalling Safari (you can download it from Apple's site)?

  • I cannot open firefox browser. I get 'Cannot load XPCOM. cannot access to 'reset'

    I cannot open my mozilla Firefox browser. I get a notice 'Unable to load XPCOM' this prevents me from using the firefox reset button. I cannot delet or uninstall firefox browser for the same reason. i am Running the browser on windows Vista.

    Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    *Firefox 23.0: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
    *Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
    *(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
    *It is important 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.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
    Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
    If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

  • I just took the latest update and now cannot open Firefox, why?!

    I just took the latest update (3.06.something) but when I click on Firefox -- desktop icon, Start menu shortcut, or program filename -- nothing happens. What good is that?

    Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. <br />
    ''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
    * You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
    If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

  • The new version 4.0 doesn't work wiith my Power PC, i found out too late, and now cannot open Firefox at all -- where might i download 3.6, please?

    I am willing to forgive Firefox for not warning me about this -- but surely, you '''could''' make it easier for me to find 3.6 on your website. It is now gone from my system and i am in limbo -- probably with 1000s of other unhappy users.
    Back to Safari --

    You can get Firefox 3.6.16 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox

  • I downloaded Firefox 4 but my laptop cannot open Firefox 4. I want my old Firefox so I don't lose my bookmarks, etc. Now I can't open Firefox at all.

    As propmted by firefox, I downloaded Firefox 4 for my Mac. However, my Mac is not able to open this version of Firefox. I bought the computer in 2007 and have not had it updated since. I replaced my old firefox so now I cannot open the browser at all. Can I download an old version of firefox? Are my bookmarks lost?

    Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5. You can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    When you re-install Firefox 3.6 it will use your existing bookmarks and other user data.

  • Cannot open Firefox. Error Platform version 1.9.2.15 is not compatible with minVersion =1.9.2.16 maxVersion =1.9.2.16

    Received an update yesterday that turned off Norton before installing itself. Now cannot open Firefox. Get error message.

    This issue can happen if the updater wasn't able to update all the files.
    Do a clean (re-)install:
    * Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    * Firefox 4.0: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    * Don't remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
    * It is important 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 (not in the Firefox program 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.

  • I recently updated to the OSX 10.8.3 Operating Sistem.  I am writing a book and now cannot open any word document I've created.  Could not find a newer version of the Microsoft Word Processing Program.  Is Pages the next thing? Can I recover my documents?

    I recently updated to the OSX 10.8.3 Operating Sistem.  I am writing a book and now cannot open any word document I've created with the old system.  Could not find a newer version of the Microsoft Word Processing Program.  Is Pages the next thing? Can I recover my documents?  How?

    I'm in the same boat: new to OS X and Mac, and in the middle of a book. I switched because I heard about the the ease of using Mac, but so far, for me, it's been a nightmare. I bought 2011 Office Mac and hate everything about it, the most recent being the inability to open or cut or paste any of my original word files. I understand that this could have easily been done with earlier versions, but not Mountain Lion (which I learned is what OSX is.) Since I work with language, I am amazed at the assumptions of the Apple community. It helps to use common language and explain even the basics.  
    So all the helpful hints to use the latest version of Office Mac are to no avail. Now what?

  • Adobe player and reader -updates and now cannot open new Email, reply Email or attached PDF's. Fix?

    On my Windows PC, Win 7, 64 bit, I have Adobe Reader and Adobe Player.
    a week or two or more I have had messages of Adobe updates and downloaded and installed them, but I think after these (could also be after Windows updates) I cannot open a new Email, cannot reply to an Email, and cannot open a PDF attached to an Email.
    Earleir I think there was a message in the box on the screen that the cause was  .. "101.1" or similar.
    I have worked through Adobe suggestions in settings and downloaded again etc, but still can't find an answer to the problem.
    I suspect it is a simple fix but I can't find it.
    I also have AVG virus, PC tune etc running.
    Also, (maybe  connected?), in this time I have also been finding the PC will seize - seems like it is overloading the processor and will then either shut down, or I will have to shut it down and restart. This also seemed to happen on my last PC system and it seemed to be connected with Norton anti virus starting and overlaoding the processing, which was why  I changed to AVG, but although I had Norton still on this PC (removed yesterday)it was not paid, although it was active and often sent up warnings to renew the subscription.
    Would like a fix if anyone knows how
    Robert13

    Having multiple virus checking software can cause all sorts of problems. I have no idea what PC tune is. There is no Adobe software called Player. Perhaps Flash Player. Problems with Flash Player can be addressed here:
    http://forums.adobe.com/community/flashplayer/installing_flashplayer
    As to problems with Reader, I would suggest the Adobe Acrobat/Reader Cleaner software then re-installing Reader from scratch:

  • Cannot open firefox on email (AT&T yahoo) icon since updating to v8

    Ever since I updated to the new version of Firefox I cannot open Firefox when I click my AT&T yahoo icon. I get an orange screen and it says Mozilla Firefox in the upper left corner. If I click in the left corner it says "not responding." This also happens when I click on the Firefox icon. The only way I have been able to get into Firefox is to right click on the Firefox icon and select "open outside BufferZone." BufferZone is a security program Kim Komando recommended. I did not have this problem until I updated. What can I do to fix this?

    AS usaul they have fucked up! too many of these top range sites are fuck with brain dead moorons who do not live in the real world.....
    They are now trying to show how clever they are and fuck the world for the rest of us !
    I have lost thousands co's I can't get my e-mails..........
    If it ain't broke why try to fix it, the only thing you might do is fuck it completely.
    I have now told all my clients not to us mozilla or any firefox products.

  • Whenever I open a new Firefox Browser, the other Firefox Browsers that I have minimized to the bottom of the screen all restore, (reopen up) onto the screen with the new opened Firefox Browser, how do I stop this? Just want the new one to open on screen

    Whenever I open a new Firefox Browser, the other Firefox Browsers that I have minimized to the bottom of the screen all restore, (reopen up) onto the screen with the new opened Firefox Browser, how do I stop this? Just want the new one to open on screen and the existing stay minimized.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I think when a I updated or downloaded a newer version of FireFox at Firefox's suggestion.

    Hmm that does sound a bit strange - I use a system quite similar to yours (XP, FF 3.6.3), and don't see this behaviour.
    I would recommend trying to start Firefox in Firefox [[Safe Mode]] (make sure you close '''all''' running Firefox instances first), and see if this problem persists.
    If not, it could be some add-on causing this behaviour - restart Firefox in Safe Mode, disable all add-ons, and enable them one by one to find the guilty one.
    If it still happens in Firefox Safe Mode, some other program (or something in Windows itself) most likely is the cause. We may be able to help with this too, so let us know what works and provide as much additional information as possible to let us help you solve this.
    Please let us know how above works out, and if we can be of further assistance. Detailed feedback is appreciated and helps us to help you better, plus enables us to better help other users with similar issues.

  • Cannot open firefox - or reinstall it - after today's update

    After updating Firefox today to the newest version, when opening Firefox, I now get this error message: Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access them...I cannot open firefox. I downloaded it again, and when try to RUN, I get the exact same message. Please advise.

    I uninstalled FF through control panel, deleted app files and exe. Then downloaded and installed latest FF from Mozilla. Works great now!
