Message - not sure what to do

i am sorry if this is suppose to be in another forum. i was trying to download a software plug-in from the internet to be able to print coupons from the internet.
this is the message i got... SAFARI CANNOT FIND THE INTERNET PLUG-IN. the page "coupon print" has content of MIME type "application/x-nsms-coupons-brxdf5". Because you don't have a plug-in isntalled for this MIME type, this content can't be displayed.
what does that mean and what can i do? when i clicked install it download a dmg.pkg and i drug it into the applications. is that not correct.
thank you for your help in advnce!

The .dmg part is a Disk Image. Think of it as the Fed Ex box that comes when you buy something.
The .dmg file will open (mounts on your Desktop) and inside is your product. In your disk image is a .pkg file (package) and it is still not the final product. Think of it as box inside the box. You still have to open it, too.
A double click on a .pkg file should launch the OS X Installer app. It should expand the package and ask for your account password (for security reasons). It then does its job of installing the contents of the package to the various locations required by the software. Sometimes installing software requires a restart of your computer before the new software can be used.
Your final file is a browser plug-in (helper app) and it should install in your HD/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder.
Hope this helps you understand.

I have a 2nd generation Ipod.
I have it connected to my computer and see (my name) ipod on my screen.
Everytime I try to add a new song to the Ipod, this message comes up and I am not sure what to do:
The Ipod, (my name) is synced with another ITunes library on A74F65. Do you want to erase this Ipod and sync with this ITunes Library?
An Ipod can be synced with only one ITunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this IPod with the contents of this ITunes library.
Then it asks me if I want to delete and sync.
I am not sure what to do for fear of erasing everything I have put on my Ipod.
I would appreciate if someone could help me out.

If I understand you correctly, you are trying to use iTunes to play the Music in your iPod but which is not in your itunes library. I don't think Apple design iTunes for use in your way. As to put and play music in iPod, the music has to be in iTunes first, so you play music in the iTunes music Library. the window with Ipod music is just to show you which music are already in the Ipod, in case you want to Manually Manage your huge music library.
Here is the iPod/iTunes manual from the Apple Support Site.

Safari is giving me a missing plug in message when I try to view things like movie trailers. The trailers play on Firefox, so I'm not sure what's missing from Safari.

Safari is giving me a missing plug in message when I try to view things like movie trailers. The trailers play on Firefox, so I'm not sure what's missing from Safari. I have Safari 5.0.6 and Mac OS X 10.5.8.

I just noticed that it won't play some newsite videos anymore either. What plug in do I need to update (if that's the problem)?

I'm trying to connect to the app store to check for updates but when I go to the update tab I keep getting the message cannot connect to iTunes store. I am signed into iTunes in my settings so not sure what to do!

You should not get that message if you are simply trying to load the shuffle with songs from your iTunes library. If iTunes is trying to Update or Restore the shuffle, and you get that message, try the suggestions in this article

What were you doing when you received the message?
I have seen reports on these forums where there is a limit to how many contacts you can have in the "to" field of a text message. That is the only thing I can think of where someone has reported getting a warning about too many contacts.

Message "switch to mobile site". Not sure what this means

When I am surfing the web I keep getting a pop up that says "switch to mobile site". I'm not sure what this means since I don't have a mobile site. I am new to the Ipad so I am looking for help.

Many websites have a link at the bottom of the page that says "Mobile" or "Mobile Site" or something to that effect. If you tap on that it will take you to the version of the website that is best suited for mobile devices, iPads, iPhones, etc. The mobile sites are optimized for mobile devices and will include videos that will be viewable in iOS that were created in html5 rather than Flash which is no longer supported on mobile devices and never was supported in iOS. When you see that message look for the link somewhere on the website or just tap OK if it gives you the option to switch to the mobile version in the popup message.
Some websites have a Mobile Button that is quite visible at the top of the home page. You can see the Mobile button here under the word Events on the NFL.com home page.

My Macbook air keeps getting a message saying that the startup disk is full. I don't have picture, music, or movies on it. Im not sure whats wrong with it.

My Macbook air keeps getting a message saying that the startup disk is full. I don't have picture, music, or movies on it. Im not sure whats wrong with it.

The first step is to check and see how much space really is there. From the desktop right click on the drive in the upper right corner (at least it's there by default) and select "Get Info" to see how much space it reports as free.
It's not just media files that eat up disk space, though they are often a major contributor. Do you happen to be running one of the virtual machine programs (Parallels or VMWare Fusion)? When you create a guest drive there you normally have a fairly decent amount of disk space dedicated to it and that can fill the drive.
As well, a quick fix that may buy you some time is to empty the trash if you've not done so recently. Click on the trash folder in your dock and then in the window that comes up select the option to empty the trash.
If you can free up some space, there are programs that will help you find what files and directories are using disk space. I've used Space Gremlin (in the App store) for that sort of thing, though there others. If you run that sort of utlity you'll get some idea about what is really eating up the drive space.

I found a solution!
Perhaps this is just temporary, but I have my display up and working again.
Although the symptoms are different were a bit different, the solution here worked:

As I was able to connect to my HD via an external monitor, in the finder, I went to:
1. Macintosh HD --> System --> Library --> Extensions
2. From there I moved all of the files that started with ADM and ATI (19 in total for me) to a folder on my desktop. (You will need to enter your admin password for this)
3. Next was a restart.
4. Then my display started working again.
5. After that, I transferred the files back into my Extensions folder.
6. I then did another restart with my fingers crossed and breath held. It worked.
Also... During the last few days of trying to find a fix, I restored a Mavericks backup to my computer away from Yosemite.
I'm very sure this problem occurred when I put my MBP to sleep, disconnected the power in its sleep, while something was connected to a USB port and unplugging the USB device (for me an iPhone charger) while the MBP was closed.
I hope this helps the next person.

Firefox "stops responding messages" frequently + not sure what the plugins listed under updated ones as "unknown plugin" and " ?research "mean

hi there...
1) firefox has been giving me problems for several months where it just stops responding, meaning I click on one of the 5 tabs open then it gives me msg "firefox not responding", also happens when I am working with xsitepro website builder development software stops me from moving around the xsitepro program and firefox again says firefox not responding
Note: However, when firefox gives me "not responding msg" it responds after a few minutes and gives me access the tab i clicked on but then happens again when i try to click on another tab
2) went to a page that firefox listed plugins http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ and there are several plugins listed that I do not know what it means below the ones it says it is updated, those are listed as " unknown plugin and ?research "
Not sure what does this mean as far as those plugins that are listed unknown and research. I did a search to see if I could find those plugins under addons but did not see them listed so are these plugins being used and installed on my firefox browswer and if so why are they hidden if they are installed or are they not installed at all
I did a copy and paste of the plugin check page so u can see what i see below:

Okay, that's a lot of information. I think the key part for support purposes is this:
''TheDrive [[#question-1057777|said]]''
<blockquote>
Just try yourself. Setup new profile and work a few days or weeks on any theme(s). Do not close tabs (at least ones, which you wanna explore once more). If your PC has 2-4Gb of RAM you will notice FF stopped to save session info after you will have a 50-100 tabs opened (you'll see sessionstore.js or session-backups\*.js script files reached 15-20-30MB long and stopped to change and it's LastMod date/time(s) are frozen) ...<br><br>
... I've noticed FF started to hang more and more and checked previous.js, recovery.bak, recovery.js was last modified on Apr, 14 but today is Apr, 16! I've lost one more hour trying to save tabs, even installed Session Manager, promised session saving on user demand but after a half hour of action against hanging FF, plugin showed me that I have NO ONE tab to save. I've managed to copy a few URLs to the text file before FF have completely fallen.</blockquote>
You're not the first person to report that the sessionstore.js or recovery.js file stopped updating with new activity. However, it's rare enough that I can't recall whether we have gotten to the bottom of it in a previous thread. I'll see whether I can search it up.
Meanwhile, someone might be able to come up with a way to watch for problems and extract some debug information, but I'm not personally familiar with such tools.
