Managing add-ons: The "find updates" button is grey-out on the Extensions tab. How can I get it to work?

At some point, it used to work, then, one-day (after an update?), it went grey and stayed that way. It still works friends who have FF 3.6.16 installations, but not for me. I've tried tweaking the profile, a new profile, and tweaking about:config (under direction), but naught helped.
Any ideas? (An update to FF4 is not in the cards at this time, by the way.)

  • CANNOT RESTORE MY IPOD TOUCH 1ST GEN AFTER UPDATE, WON'T RESTORE TO PREVIOUS IOS EITHER.  hOW CAN i GET IT TO WORK? TO 3.1.1. IOS

    My ipod worked until I purchased teh iOS 3.1.1 update from the apple store.  Now my Ipod touch 1g will not even restore to the original iOs.  How can I get it to update to the 3.1.1 version or restoer it.  It worked fine prior to the update.

    Just to give you an update, I got the iOS 3.1.3 installed (Even with the error messages 1602 & 1604). This is how I did it.
    1. Turn off all spyware and antivirus
    2. Open ITunes and purchase iOS and download (don't connect you ipod to the computer yet), don't select download and install. Close itunes after download.
    3. My ipod was frozen with the connector and iTunes symbol in the screen, so I turned it off and with the usb plugged into the computer, hold the home button down (Puts it in recovery mode), now connect the end of the sync cord to the ipod, open iTunes and let it boot up.  You should see the message that it found an ipod in recover and need to be restores. click ok and then select update.
    4.  This is where it will update and freeze again in restore. To continue update, leave the ipod connected (Don't touch it at all.  Close iTunes and then reopen it.  The connection should be made the the update should install.
    It worked for me, maybe it will fro yo.

  • My iphone just was updated yesterday and now my calendars won't synch, how can I get this to work again?

    I just updated my iphone4g and now when synching my calendars will not update. How can I fix this?

    System restore can do that, I recommend to avoid using system restore, it can create problems as well as solve them.
    Try deleting the Firefox installation directory and then re-installing Firefox 3.6
    For 32 bit Windows the default location of the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installation_directory installation directory] is C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\

  • TS3048 I am usng a bluetooth keyboard with my Mac and some of the keys are not working.  They are the numbers 1 through  9.  I have gone through the troubleshooting for mouse and keyboard and everything looks good. How can I get them to work again?

    Hi,  I am using a Mac computer that my husband set up.  I have worked on it recently with no problems.  Today, I am having problems with the bluetooth keyboard not  working properly.  The numbers 1 through 9 do not work.  I have gone through troubleshooting wireless mouse and keyboard issues and everything looks good.  Except, when I check the keys on the keyboard viewer, these keys still do not work.  The webpage guides me through and at this point I do not know what to do next, because the keyboard is still not working properly.  I sure hope there are some experienced people in the community to help me.  What should I do?

    Hi:
    I wish my suggestion had gotten you further.
    I do suggest you try to connect the keyboard again.  The request for a number is a step in it trying to pair.  If it gets by the number, it sometimes takes a little while to get connected.  If you are unable to get it connected and want a new one, I have been using Apple Bluetooth keyboards for years - and I like them. The one I have (the newest model) only uses two batteries and is very thin. 
    Speaking of batteries, if you are not already doing so, you might consider rechargeables.  I have a drawer full of them and use a 15 minute charger.  I go tired of buying batteries and rechargeables are environmentally friendly to boot. At the moment, I use 2450 mAh Energizers and a 15 minute Energizer charger (all purchased new on eBay at a very reasonable price).
    I am far from an iPad "expert," although I have one.  If my suggestion below does not help, post your question in a separate thread in the iPad forum.
    I had a terrible time syncing my iCal on my Mac with my iPad iCal (confusing - hopefully it makes sense).  I quit using iCloud as that added to the confusion. There is a facility to one-time sync items.  When you connect your computer to your iPad, iTunes opens.  The system begins a process (automatic backup and so on). After it finishes, you can click on "info."  At the bottom of the screen, there is an advanced section.  You can select any of the items and then force it to sync. The iCal information from your computer would be deposited on the iPad. 
    After all that, I do not use a Google calendar so the information may be worthless to you.
    If you want to reset the iPad to factory settings, you can do that when it is connected to iTunes (one of the options).  Me being me, I try never to erase anything.

    I see you are using a PPC Mac with OSX 10.5.8.
    Either you can use the last release from Mozilla worked on PPC which is 3.6.*.
    The current 3.6.22 is at http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    Or use a third-party build from http://tenfourfox.blogspot.com/2011/08/601-now-available.html
    As of Firefox 4.0 and newer a '''Intel''' Mac and OSX 10.5+ is required.

    Check your network settings, in particular the advanced setting "DNS Server". If it is by chance 127.0.0.1, make sure to change is and use a know DNS Server (from Google for example, or your own Router local address).

  • I used to be able to attach a document to an iCal entry.   After the latest update, it appears this option has been removed.  How can I add an attachment now?  Thanks!

    Hi Dan,
    Yes, iCal 4.0.4 (1395.7). In edit mode, the 'attachments' option is between 'Invitees' and 'URL' (see below). As I said this is for calendars under On My Mac, I suspect you are not seeing this as your event is on MobileMe.

  • I have two devices (Iphone and Ipad) on the same Apple ID. When I go to Icloud and click at the "find Iphone" I see only one of my devices. How can I do to see both of them?

    Obvious question, but have you got 'Find My iPhone' set on both devices?  Settings>iCloud>Find My iPhone.

  • I have an Ipod touch updated to last available ios 4.2.1. How can I get the last compatible versions of the apps?

    I have an Ipod touch updated to last available ios 4.2.1.
    How can I get the last compatible versions of the apps?
    In the appstore there are only the lat app versions, most of them are incompatible with my device.
    I know that previous versions of these apps were compatible with my ipod.
    Can all download them someway?
    thanks

    The problem is: I never had the compatible versions. But I want them, I'd buy them if I could.
    So I'm stuck with my Ipod, which can't be upgraded anymore to higher IOS versions, and with the appstore, that does not offer older versions; versions that have existed and still exist, perhaps in the recycle bin of some users, or somewhere in the appstore servers.
    I know, its a policy, just to sell more devices. Will not work with me. I'm not buying more Ipods

  • I am using Numbers on my iPhone5 and cannot get the app to do a simple (SUM) calculation.  It shows the formula correctly in the cell, but all I get for my long list of numbers to add is 0.  How can I get this to work?

    I am using Numbers on my iPhone5 and cannot get the app to do a simple (SUM) calculation.  It shows the formula correctly in the cell, but all I get for my long list of numbers to add is 0.  How can I get this to work?

    Oaky, at least we got that far.  Next step is to determine if all those "numbers" are really numbers.  Changing the format to "number" doesn't necessarily change the string to a number. The string has to be in the form of a number.  Some may appear to you and me as numbers but will not turn into "numbers" when you change the formatting from Text to Number. Unless you've manually formatted the cells to be right justified, one way to tell if it is text or a number is the justification. Text will be justified to the left, numbers will be justified to the right.
    Here are some that will remain as strings:
    +123
    123 with a space after it.
    .123

  • I am trying to find an old mac font.  It's the techno (apple) font that was available with OS 9.  How can I get this font?

    I am trying to find an old mac font.  It's the techno (apple) font that was available with OS 9.  How can I get this font?

    I think that was Tecno. Techno appears to be a whole class of fonts.
    Is this the one? http://www.dafont.com/tecno.font
    That's a .ttf version which should work OK with current OS.
    As an aside, I was searching for Apple Textile for quite some time when it was pointed out to me that it was used by iDVD. Sure enough, opened up the installer package for iDVD with Pacifist and there it was. Now working fine on all my Macs!

  • I used iCloud before I updated to the new iOS 6 and now I only have 44 pictures how can I get them all back?

    I used iCloud before I updated to the new iOS 6 and now I only have 44 pictures how can I get them all back?

    Photo stream only keeps your photos for 30 days.  After that, they are removed from your photo stream but not from any device that has already received them.  Chances are, the 44 photos are from the last 30 days; the others are not there because they are no longer in your photo stream.
    If the photos were in your camera roll when you last backed up, restoring to the backup should recover them.  However, you will have to restore to the entire backup to do so.  If they weren't backed up or imported to your computer, there is no way to recover them now.
    To be sure your photos are saved, regularly import them from the camera roll to your computer as outlined here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.

  • I did the 8.0.2 update and no longer have my speak to text microphone down by the smileys.  Don't want to use audio text.  How can I get this back?

    I did the 8.0.2 update and no longer have my speak to text microphone down by the smileys.  Don't want to use audio text.  How can I get this back?

    Hey there tjbliven,
    It sounds like you are not able to use the dictation feature of iOS 8, becuase the microphone icon is missing. It seems to me like Siri may be turned off, which would cause the icon to not be there:
    Siri settings - iPhone
    To set options for Siri, go to Settings > General > Siri. Options include:
    Turning Siri on or off
    That should get the dictation feature back for you.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

  • I can't play the downloaded iTunes movie on my newly updated iMac to OS X Maverick. Why not? And How can I get it to work? Thanks.

    I can't play the downloaded iTunes movie on my newly updated iMac to OS X Maverick. Why not? And How can I get it to work? Thanks.

    Do you get any error message?
    What actually happens when you open it?
    What app are you trying to play the files inside? Try iTunes.
    I assume these files have DRM from the iTunes store. The Mac needs to be authorized to play them, open iTunes & select Authorize in the store menu, then sign in with the Apple ID that purchased the files.
    Select the iTem in iTunes & get info on it (from the File menu) & you can see the account name that it belongs to.
