Mac OS 10.4.11 I can't get Firefox auto updates to work so on my Mac what do I check

I am set up for auto updates in Firefox but I get a message from Firefox that it does not have the authority to do it. I get Microsoft auto updates so do I need to change something on the Mac or what?
Thanks, Helen Kelly

Download a new copy of the Firefox program: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean reinstall.
Install the new version that you have downloaded.

New to Mac: I can't get FireFox or IE to work on my G4

I'm new to Mac's and I picked this system up from work (old G4 they were selling) to introduce myself to the world of Mac.
I've been trying to install FireFox 1.5 and IE 5.2 to my Mac without much success. I run the DMG file and it creates a disk on my Desktop. I click on the disk for FireFox and a window pops open. I click on the FireFox logo and in my Dashboard the FF globe starts bouncing like it's going to open the application. After several minutes it stops bouncing and I have to "force quit" the application. I can never get it to run.
The same thing happens with IE 5.2 when I install it. It installs and opens a file menu with the IE logo in it. I click on it and the globe starts bouncing in the Dashboard but the application locks up.
I've installed other applications like iTunes and it works fine. What could be going wrong with my browser installs?
Thanks!

Hi tharmsen ,
Could I have something messed up in a setting someplace? Argh... so frustrating!
I wondered the same, but i never did get an answer,so i do not know.
I had similar issues with the 1.5 version, i certainly understand your
frustration, i wanted to send it to space!!! i had to remove it.
I am sticking with Safari which I love. Also if Debug enable in menu bar
Safari can emulate a few browsers.
just be aware that there are some issues with the earlier versions of FF,
here is an link i found when i considered going back to the 1.0.4 .
that i was trying to update.

How can I get Firefox to update?

I'm running Firefox 3.0 on OS X 10.6.8.
Firefox has never updated itself and numerous attempts at updating have not worked.
What can I do?

i suggest you try the alternate and easiest way by downloading Firefox from here
* getfirefox.com

How can I get Firefox 3.0 to work as a browser on my iBook G4 with OS10.3.9 so I can work my Hotmail email account? The download loads OK but will not open to a browser page when I double click on it. Tom.

Have been using Firefox 2.0 just fine for years. But now stupid Windows Live Hotmail has made it impossible for me to "use" my email, such as doing Bcs or Attaching something, or even typing new text in the message box. Hotmail tells me I have to update my Firefox browser. But updating to Firefox 3.0 due my OS system limits does not now allow me to open onto the internet even after a successful download of 3.0. Tom.

Firefox 3 will not run on OS X 10.3.9, it requires at least 10.4
Try one of these browsers to see if you can access Hotmail - [http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/seamonkey1.1.19/ SeaMonkey 1.1.19] or [http://caminobrowser.org/download/ Camino 1.6.11]

QUICKTIME [7.4.1] Why can't get from auto-update?

I'm trying to get the new quicktime from the auto/update, but it says my software is upto date / but when i checked online the new version was available only from its website,,, so whys it not there in autoupdate, is there a problem in the new version / which is why apple is not it putting on,,, help plz?

Lawrence,
Thanks for your reply.
So to affirm your point, I agree there are certain users who (for whatever reasons) prefer to evaluate and research the available consensus on every single update published for every single of their apps. So yes, my want to have apps on the iPhone auto-update (vs being required to manually click to update them) might frustrate some. To that end, I'd imagine there are very few features (like an auto update) a company could add to a heavily used system (like Apple's iOS) without generating some controversy; the auto-update I want is no exception.
That said, the argument that the majority (or even a significant minority) of users wouldn't want to receive the most updated versions of the apps they have on their phones seems a bit thin. Updates are just that: "up to date" versions of their software. The onus is on the developers to release functioning and improved updates; that's an obligation Apple should reinforce if they desire a robust and diverse ecology of apps to augment the utility and value of their phones.
The present dynamic assumes iPhone users want to invest their time evaluating and collecting research on the viability of each new update to their apps. That's ridiculous and implies a mistrust of both their app publishers, as well as the effectiveness of a democratic marketplace:
App publishers want to do right by their users, thus they want to release good updates, and
A marketplace of user ratings and reviews influence other user behavior, so an irresponsible developer wouldn't get very far releasing crap updates.

I need to use an hp 6215 printer with my mac book pro. the driver installation disk doesn't work. where can i get a driver that will work? i use OS X

i need to use an hp 6215 printer with my mac book pro. the driver installation disk doesn't work. where can i get a driver that will work?

With the Lion it is essentially unnecessary to resort to external driver disks. What's more, most of those disks are incompatible with the OS and should not be used. The system already carries a wide variety of printer description files (aka PPDs, which is what modern printing systems use as "drivers") for a lot of brands. And there was an HP printer update just two days ago.
Just checked in mine and did indeed find that the HP OfficeJet 6200 Series, with or without Fax, is covered with the latest update.
So just go thru the motions of creating a proper printer instance:
Make sure the Mac "sees" the printer on the network.
System Preferences / Print & Scan
Click on the + button on the left column
Select the appropriate type of printer, will use IP for the rest of this
Select HP Jetdirect - Socket, default for HP network printers
Type the IP address or look it up
Name the printer for easy identification on the print dialog
Let the Mac identify the printer model or manually choose the driver
Click Add.
Once the instance pops up in the list, can click on Options & Supplies for further config.

OK, let's try these................
1 - Boot up from your install DVD and run "Repair Disk" from the Utility menu. When done, restart back to your desktop, repair permissions and restart your computer. Re-connect your printer.
2 - Download & install the Gimp drivers. Make sure the one you install is compatible w/your OS-Gutenprint 5.2.8-pre1. Repair permissions, restart your computer & re-connect your printer when done.
The Epson model I have, in order to get it to print wirelessly, I had to install a Gimp driver.
3 - Check out the following KB Articles:
Mac OS X 10.4 Help: Connecting to a network printer
Epson Printer Drivers v2.10 OS X
Adding a printer to your printer list in Mac OS X

======================
If still unsuccessful after trying all of the above, the problem could be your iBook or human error. You can either call Epson & ask to speak with a Mac savy supervisor or return the printer & find another that is compatible w/your current OS.

How can I get my web cam to work in Adobe Connect ?

This is actually an end user's question that I am having trouble answering to...
We use Adobe Connect to give online language classes, the end user is one of the students.
I cannot find the right Support answer to give him.
Problem:
My camera does not work when I connect to Adobe's rooms but camera works fine with other software.
Even though I suspected my old camera was working fine, yesterday I went ahead and bought a new camera.
I thought perhaps my webcam software may have been a problem, so I bought a different type camera with different software.
Even after removing all the old software, same result:
I surmised the problem might be caused by my firewall and security software, so once I tried changing the permissions for Adobe, and my Webcam, but that didn’t work.
Another time, I restarted my computer right before class and then turned off my firewall completely so there would be no interference but to no avail. I’m totally perplexed.
Isn’t there anyone else experiencing a similar problem?   Has anyone else found a solution?
I run Windows Vista with McAfee Internet Security Software. I always reboot the computer before class and open no other programs other than Google Chrome.
I now have a brand new Microsoft LifeCam Cinema Camera with LifeCam 3.5 Webcam Software.
I test my camera before going online. It always works fine.   Then I shut down the camera program and login into class.
When I “connect webcam” in the room, the light on my camera comes on (suggesting that it is ON), but only a black image is transmitted to the room.

Check to see if you have Google Voice installed. If so, remove it and see
if your problem vanishes. If not Google Voice, check to see if you have
any other communications software which interacts with your cam and
disable it. This was the problem I had with a similar problem on a Mac.

Thanks a lot Heyward for the swift reply !
I sent the advice out to the end user, but unfortunately this wasn't the
solution.
His reply is below :-
The default resolution of my new camera is already set at 640x360, but I
went ahead and tried several lower resolutions (e.g. 424x240; 320x240; and
160x120) but none worked in the room - camera still showed up as black
blank screen. Also, as far as I can tell, I don’t have the option of
adjusting the frame rate.
I started playing around with my Internet Security Settings to see if they
might be playing a role. So far, all to no avail.
Hmm...quite a tricky one - webcams always are - maybe if he can find a way
to adjust the frame rate (?).
He's going to fiddle about with the settings a bit more and see if
something does the trick.
If anyone has had a similar problem and found an ingenious solution,
please jot on a note on this thread.

Can't get wake on lan to work on Hp n40l microserver

Hello
I installed arch on my HP proliant microserver and I can not get Wake on lan to work. I tested my device with ethtool and it supports and is enabled for WOL with g value set for both.
But whenever I power it off by systemctl poweroff I can no longer see it as a connected device to my router
Before installing arch I tried ubuntu for testing the hardware quickly and I got wake on lan working there. I can not figure out what might be the issue here. Wake on lan is enabled in the BIOS.
Any help would be appreciated
Cheers

As I see in the Archwiki , the wol package would also need the IP address ( though not necessary ) along with the mac address of the server.
I fear that the nic on the server does not obtain an ip in shutdown state, since I can't see it in my attached devices in the router settings( I could be very wrong ! )
Tried using wol on a laptop running arch, but with no luck.
I have seen this workaround in several places
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour … bug/981461
I even tried creating a similar script which would first do
ip link set dev enp2s0 down
systemctl poweroff
but that did not work either.
Cheers

Can't get wake on demand to work in 10.6.1!

Ever since I upgraded itunes and Snow Leopard to 10.6.1 I can't get wake on demand to work. I worked fine before with my airport express G.
All my firewalll setting are ok and the function is turned on under power saving.
I tried to restart, itunes, the mac, the airport and even the iphone. Weird.

Thanks. But I have done all these things. I give up. The only thing I havn't done is reinstall the remote app. Hopefully 10.6.2 will fix it.
