Loaded the new version of Firefox, now I can't get it to open. I keep getting "the computer needs to reboot for updates. when I reboot, it still doesn't work. I tried to remove firefox from the computer, I get the same message. It won't let me remove it.

'The version of mozilla in my program list has 45.5 mb of space but when I look at the download it says it should only be around 15mb.

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.
* 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
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Do not 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 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.

  • How do I download a movie on iTunes on my ipad, because when it gets to the end of the download it says download error tap to retry but when you retry it still doesn't work.

    How do I download a movie on iTunes on my ipad, because when it gets to the end of the download it says download error tap to retry but when you retry it still doesn't work.

    You can't if you rented and downloaded it on your iPad, you can only watch it on that. From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1657 :
    If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
    If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.
    Does the rental not show in the iPad's Videos app ? You shouldn't need to go via the iTunes store app.

  • I downloaded Firefox 4. Now when I try to open it keeps telling me I need to reboot my computer. I have done this and continue to get the same message. I also cannot delete from my programs in order to reinstall.

    After I downloaded Firefox 4, I tried to open it and it repeatedly gives me this message "Your computer must be restarted to complete a previous upgrade of Firefox. Do you want to reboot now?" I cannot get past this message. I tried to uninstall this program in order to reinstall, but when I try to do that, I get this same message. I cannot get past this message. I don't know what to do next.

  • Firefox won't open. I get a message to restart and when I restart it still doesn't work. It won't even let me uninstall the program so I can re-install. Help!!!

    I upgraded from version 3.6.15 to 4.0.1. After upgrading the program doesn't open. I keep getting a message that "Firefox must be restarted to complete a previous upgrade. Do you want to reboot now?" I rebooted 3 times with no success. I also tried to uninstall the program and I get the same message! In other words I can't even uninstall. The previous version ran fine. Any suggestions?

  • IPHOTO says photos saved with newer version of IPHOTO. How can i get the new version of IPHOTO back on my system?

    I loaded IDVD on my IMAC. Now IPHOTO will not open pictures due to pictures saved with a newer version of IPHOTO. How can i restore the newer version of IPHOTO back on my system?

    Sounds like a possible damage library.  Give this a try: make a temporary, backup copy (select the library and type Command+D) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Monitors are the same, but Mac won't let me set them the same in Preference

    Odd issue.
    Two exactly the same Samsung Synchmaster monitors connected to the Mac Pro to make an extended display.
    The monitor on the right never has the right resolution. When I set it's resolution to the same as the left monitor (1280x800), it looks awful.
    Finally, I checked under Preferences>Displays, and under "Arrangement" I see that the computer has the left monitor set to the right little blue box dimensions (widescreen) but the blue box on the right is more square. How do I change the blue box on the right to match the dimensions of the one on the left?
    Thanks
    Thanks

    Okay, scratch that. I set the one on the right to 1280x800, and now the blue box matches the size, but it looks terrible! I mean, really bad. Yet the same monitor with the same resolution settings on the left side looks fantastic.
    Plus, the right side monitor won't let me choose 60 MHz, whereas that is the setting for the one on the left.
    Any ideas what's going on here?

  • When I try to load a newer version of firefox I get the error message "you don't have sufficient permissions to load firefox" from firefox. How do I get them?

    have firefox 3.0.10 on my Mac with OS X .5.6 I can download the latest version of firefox, 7.0.1 dmg. I can open that and get a drive on the desktop. I am the only user and system administrator. How can I not have sufficient privileges? but when I drag the firefox program to the applications folder I always get this message from the firefox program. "you don't have sufficient privileges to open firefox" What is going wrong to prevent me from updating my firefox?

    See:
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > General : Accessibility : [ ] "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"
    The setting in "Tools > Options > Advanced > General" is meant as an accessibility feature, as you can see by the label of that section, so that people with disabilities or people who use screen readers do not get confused and is not meant as a safety protection to stop redirecting.

  • A few months ago when I switched over to icloud from mobile me I set up my icloud with a new email address and now I can't get my calendars to sync with my iphone.  I can't cancel either account-the icloud or mobile me.

    Please help!  I have two separate email addresses -my old mobile me and the new icloud and now nothing is syncing with my iphone.  I'm not sure how to get everything back to syncing the way it was before I changed everything over to icloud. 

    If you really did migrate from MobileMe to iCloud, you would have the same address as before.
    It sounds as though you didn't actually migrate from MobileMe to iCloud, you just started up a brand new iCloud account.
    You won't be able to access MobileMe now. If you failed to move everything over to iCloud properly, then all the data and the account has been deleted as Apple said it would at the end of July.
    To get everything to sync, you need to make sure all your devices and computers are logged into the same iCloud account. Possibly what has happened is some are still using the old (now deleted) MobileMe account and some are using the new iCloud account.

  • Got new version of itunes, now I can't see my songs or videos

    Got new version of Itunes, eveything else is on my ipod but my songs and videos. Can anyone help?

    I updated my version of iTunes on my iPhone 4S
    That doesn't make much sense.  Do you mean you updated the iOS on your iPhone or iTunes on your computer?What versions of each are running now?
