Mounting failed when installing Firefox 3.6 on Mac OS 10.5

Mounting failed error message when trying to install Firefox 3.6 on Mac OS X 10.5. This seems to be a common problem and I have no previous version of Firefox.

Try to do some maintenance.

    Hi Willy,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    The article below provides information about specific update and restore alerts, including the 9006 alert that you saw when attempting to update your iPad 2 to iOS 8.1. Try using the instructions provided to see if the issue is caused by a conflict with the security software on your computer.
    Resolve iOS update and restore errors
    Check your security software
    Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006. Sometimes security software can prevent your device from communicating with either the Apple update server or with your device.
    Check your security software and settings to make sure that they aren't preventing a connection to the Apple servers.

    Hi Ken,
    Thanks for your advice! I would try to clean up for more free space. I just downloaded one dmg from another website linking to apple. I could successfully install that one, but very often the content in gdb window is empty. Even if the gdb works for some time initially, after loading some specific project, the gdb doesn't provide info any longer :-( Any idea?
    It might be the best season in Shenzhen now. It is sunny, but not hot, with temperature from 25 degree centigrade to 30.

  • Opted out of password mgmnt when installing Firefox; now I need it. How to add the feature?

    When installing Firefox, there was a list of items to install. I UNchecked the last one (for password mgmt) because I was going to use a different password mgr. The different password mgr (LastPass) wants the Firefox mgr to be installed. How do I add that feature I UNchecked? It does not seem to be in the "add-on" list.
    I tried to reinstall Firefox and got the message that I already have the latest version. While writing this info it occurred to me that I might UNinstall Firefox and reinstall it. Or is there a better way?

    Are you sure that this wasn't about setting up Sync?

    Illustrator CS6 says "installation failed" when installing. No explanation is given. I don't have any previous versions of AI installed or any trials. Help? I really need to use this product today!

    We can't know. You need to provide system information and possibly the install logs:

  • Install of Elements trial fails when installing Shared Technologies

    Have tried installing the Elements 10 trial on both an XP Pro and a Win7 Pro PC and have the same problem.
    Install of trial fails when installing Shared Technologies and then rolls back the install of the Elements Organiser.
    Anyone seen this before?   Any ideas?

    Can you please make your question a seperate thread?
    It would be helpful if you could please provide us the install log for it. Install logs can be found at C:\Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Installers\ with name Elements STI Installer 1.0 <date>.log.gz
    Use a decompression utility such as Winzip to uncompress the .gz file. Once uncompressed, you will have a new file without the .gz extension. The filename could now be something like "Elemens STI Installer 1.0 11-21-2012.log."
    Open the .log file using notepad
    Copy the whole log and paste it here.

  • I am trying to install Firefox 4 on my Mac OS 10.5.8 and I get the error message "You cannot open the application "Firefox" because it is not supported on this architecture" Help!

    I am trying to install Firefox 4 on my Mac OS 10.5.8 and I get the error message "You cannot open the application "Firefox" because it is not supported on this architecture" Help!

    Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
    If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com

  • When installing adobe reader on my mac it states that the installation is complete, but on same screen it states the there is an internal server error and reader will not work

    when installing adobe reader on my mac it states that the install is complete, but on same screen its sets thaw an internal server error has occurred and reader will not work

    Hi,
    I have exactly the same problem on one of my Macs (MBP 15 Mid-2010 / OS X Yosemite): Both reader and Acrobat Pro download without a hitch. Both also install with no problem.
    But once you click the program to open, they both return "an internal error occurred".  
    I tried downloading three separate copies, and still get the same error message when I install and launch.  I've also uninstalled the previous installations via CleanMyMac2 to make sure it's no longer in the SSD.  Same results.
    Am using a new SSD as internal boot drive, with fresh / clean installation of OS X and Apps (previous internal HDD crashed) -- And am seeing errors not only with Acrobat, but also with LR5 which always comes up with a "An error occurred when attempting to change modules" -- inspite or uninstall, download and reinstall.  Not sure if it's a registry issue? (Not even sure if that's the case with OS X).
    Do I need to reformat the whole SSD? I hope not!
    Thanks
    Edwin

  • ADFS MFA Adapter fails when installed manually

    Dear experts,
    When following the article on http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn807157.aspx, my ADFS service cannot load the WindowsAzureMultiFactorAuthentication provider, eventid 105.
    I used the 'Install the AD FS Adapter standalone using the Web Service SDK', with the edited config file using a username and password. When browsing to the SDK folder on my MFA server using IE from the ADFS server, I can login and use all SDK services normally
    but ADFS fails. Installing MFA locally on the ADFS server fixes the issue, but manual configuration should be possbile according to the technet article.
    Also, there is an error in the technet document, it says to 
    Run the MultiFactorAuthenticationUserPortalSetup64.msi
    But this should of course be the adapter MSI file.
    Is there a fix?
    Sincerely,
    Jos

    Thanks for the note on the typo. We'll fix the documentation on MSDN and the MFA Server help file.
    For those having issues getting the adapter to work, we have had a couple of support cases escalated recently that both turned out to be typos in the config file. The registration script needs to have the correct path to the config file, and the config file
    should look something like this:
    <ConfigurationData xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
        <UseWebServiceSdk>true</UseWebServiceSdk>
        <WebServiceSdkUrl>https://server.domain.com/MultiFactorAuthWebServiceSdk/PfWsSdk.asmx</WebServiceSdkUrl>
        <WebServiceSdkUsername>domain\username</WebServiceSdkUsername>
        <WebServiceSdkPassword>password</WebServiceSdkPassword>
        <WebServiceSdkCertificateThumbprint></WebServiceSdkCertificateThumbprint>
    </ConfigurationData>
    From the ADFS server, you can copy the WebServiceSdkUrl into a web browser. You should be prompted for a username/password. Enter or copy/paste what you have in the config file. it should display the web service operations without any certificate warnings.
    If there are warnings, you may have to import the certificate into the Trusted Root Certificate store so that the ADFS server trusts it.

  • Perlbrew - locale.t fails when installing perls

    I'm trying to use perlbrew in order to maintain private copies of Perl, rather than doing anything that might touch system Perl.
    I've installed perlbrew successfully, but my attempts to use it to install perl 5.12 and 5.14 have both failed, apparently due to some problems encountered when applying locale.t. 
    I'm running OSX 10.8.0.  Has anyone used perlbrew on this version, and/or encountered this problem?
    Thanks,
    Chap

    Hi Chap
    I'm running OS X 10.8.1.
    I got the same problem when install perl 5.8.5 use perlbrew 0.5.0.
    Then I try " perlbrew --force install perl-5.8.5 --notest ", it worked.
    You can try it!

  • When installing Firefox 35 into Windows 7 running inside VMware Fusion on a Mac, into which folder should I put the downloaded Firefox installer file?

    Inside Windows I see a folder called PROGRAM FILES and another one called PROGRAM FILES (X86). Is either of these the correct one to put the Firefox installer program into before I launch the installer? There is also a folder called WINDOWS. Sorry for such an elementary question but I've never been a Windows user; just Macs so far until now. My intention is to download the Windows version of Firefox using a browser on the Mac side of the computer since I have working browsers there. Then I would copy the ".exe" file to whichever Windows folder is correct. Am I on the right track or am I courting disaster?
    Also, will there be a preference inside Firefox to make it the default browser in the Windows environment? I'd like to avoid using Internet Explorer.
    ( I'm writing this from the Firefox browser, v. 28.0 in the Mac OS (10.6.8). I didn't click the "Automatically Add" button for submitting troubleshooting information because I'm not asking about the browser in the Mac OS environment.)
    Thank you.

    The full Windows install file from for instance https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ is an executable dot.exe file.
    It will run from anywhere the user has the correct permissions, incluing the desktop or the downloads folder. It will offer standard or custom installs, usually opt for the standard install and the necessary flies and folders will be created.

  • PE 9 always fails when installing shared technologies.

    I even paid for it (I know theres no diffrence) but I always get the same error (Adobe Premiere elements failed to install shared technologies. Rolling back changes). I have windows 7 x64 And after 3 HOURS of waiting of the phone for a rep, I decided not to contact them for any info. PE 7 installed fine, but they don't work on windows 7.

    Use task manager to see if you have any other Adobe software running in the background - Adobe Bridge is often the culprit for these installation errors. If you find anything running then use End Process.

  • 'mounting failed' when trying to download iTunes8

    I'm running OS X 10.4.11 on a PPC G5. I've tried to download iTunes8 (I currently have iTunes7.7, but need 8 for my new iPod), but at the end of the attempted download I get the message 'Mounting Failed'. I have spoken to 4 different operators in 2 different support departments (itunes/ipod support and computer support), but none have been able to help. One even said 'I've never heard of the message 'mounting failed' - perhaps it's a new one I haven't been told about".
    Can anybody help?
    Thanks in advance.

    After looking at so many places/forums/discussion groups, I could only find one real solution for this problem and that was 'hard reset' your phone.
    I have to admit that i used to hate this solution the most but it worked for me, infact I'm a fan of 'backup' + 'hard reset' solution now!
    Here is what you need:
    1. Backup your data/settings
    Backup your device settings/data with Nokia PC Suite/ Ovi Suite.
    2. Hard Reset
    Switch off the phone.
    Press GREEN + RED + CAMERA + ON simultaneously until you see the “Select Country” option.
    3. Restore
    Restore your device using the same utility you used for backup.
    Note:
    The default password for hard reset is 12345.
    I got all my settings back after I restored my device and the OVI app is working like a charm now!
