My Safari browser on my iMac is not working-- I have no other browser--how can I try Firefox? Can you send me a cd to install it?

I need a back up browser or I cannot connect on the internet w my iMac

Another possibility is to download the file via ftp.
Open a terminal window and issue the next commands, omit the comments between the parenthesis ().
* Mac HD > Applications > Utilities > Terminal
<pre>ftp
open ftp.mozilla.org
username: anonymous
password: anonymous ''(not echoed; so easiest is to paste anonymous in the name and the password)''
cd pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/latest/mac/en-US
ls ''(verify that you are in the correct directory)''
binary
lcd ~ ''(save the file to the home directory)''
get "Firefox 25.0.dmg"
''(verify that you have the "Firefox 25.0.dmg" file in the home directory)''
bye</pre>

  • Scrolling effects in Muse are not working properly with the Chrome browser at the moment.

    My scrolling effects in Muse are not working properly in the Chrome browser .I disabled any third party widgets to see if that was the problem but it wasn't. Safari and firefox presented my site perfectly but when it was opened in chrome the menu navigation bar will not stop moving uncontrollably jittering when the page is scrolled. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this? My site is danieltoruno01.businesscatalyst.com

    We are using Vertical spry menu bar features provided with Dreamweaver CS3.
    You are using Spry 1.4.
    The latest  version of the Adobe Spry Framework is 1.6.1, this is the same version  that ships with Dreamweaver CS4.
    When using Dreamweaver CS3 (uses Spry  1.4), it's wise to upgrade your files to the latest version. This can  easily be done using the Spry Updater that can be found here.
    If after that you still have problems, please come back here.

  • TS1702 My app store, Apple ID, safari, and most other apps do not work after upgrading to iSO 6, How do i solve this problem?

    My app store, Apple ID, safari, and most other apps do not work after upgrading to iSO 6, How do i solve this problem? Can somebody help me please?

    The App store is a problem for many and I have not seen a solution.
    What is "wrong" with your Apple ID?
    Try the following:
    - A reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.

  • HT203421 Since installing Yosemite 10.10 the Apps Store application on my iMac does not work

    installing Yosemite 10.10 the Apps Store application on my iMac does not work properly. Applications show up in the App Store window to be updated but in fact most of them do not download and install. Some 3rd party software does download and install but most Apple and HP Applications do not. They appear in some cases in both the Ready to update or install list and in the "Installed in the last 30 days list". In some cases when I click on "Update" it shows in the "Installed in the Last 30 Days list" but it is not installed.  In the case of the latest Yosemite 10.10.3 beta down load, it momentarily show up like it is downloading but then disappears and does not install.

    I am now using Yosemite 10.10.2 and am trying to install the beta Download Yosemite 10.10.3 hoping it will resolve my problem but starts to download from the App Store snd then quits.

  • Video iChat on my iMac is not working

    Video iChat on my iMac is not working. The i chat buddies screen is up all right.  I can see my buddies' pictures on the screen.  But I can't start the video iChat.  It worked fine for a few years...suddendly it does not work???

    HI,
    In the Buddy list you can see the Video Chat green icon for your Buddy.
    Their Buddy pic is also on view.
    Clicking the Green Icon  (Or highlighting and using the Video Menu > Invite to Video chat) does what exactly ?
    Do you get to see your Preview ?
    Does it say Connecting ?
    Do you get any Error message or pop up ?
    Have you changed your router ?
    Have you allowed iChat through it ?

    The new iMacs also do not have a Firewire port so if you have firewire devices you will need a Thundbolt to FW adapter. 

  • Any ideas why the video camera on my imac is not working?

    Does any one have any idea why the video camera on my imac is not working? I have been using skype on my imac for some time and recently I have discovered that it wont work, could this have anything to do with the mountain lion upgrade?

    Have a look here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090?viewlocale=en_US
    I think I'd start with the SMC reset.

    Hello,
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
    Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
    Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

  • Imac will not turn back on after being unplugged. Is there something I can do?

    imac will not turn back on after being unplugged. Is there something I can do?

    SMC RESET
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
    Wait 15 seconds.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
    The 5 second timing is important to a successful reset.

    if your youtube was already running then I would exit out of the application completely by double clicking your home button and then search for your youtube app on the row that will show below and then press and hold down the youtube icon and then click the "X" to exit out of it. Afterwards try to reopen youtube and play a video to see if it works

  • Imac keyboard not working

    The volume up and the arrow keys of my wireless keyboard for imac is are not working...all other keys are fine...what could be the problem? Also, i'd like to know if this is covered by apple 1 year warranty?

    Click on the NumLock key.
    Also check that Universal Access hasn't been accidentally enabled in the System Preferences.
    Oh by the way, iMacs can't run iOS.   Go to Apple menu -> About This Mac and tell us your Mac OS X version if you want more detailed advice.

    Hello
    I don't know who to complain to as you do not appear to have a complaints department, despite searching the web, I trust you can pass this to relevant department for action, as I'm very angry over my recent repair.
    Following my issue relating to a blank screen 2 weeks ago, your advisor arranged for my iMac to collected by Amsys, for repair and return, this was done and it was returned to me last Tuesday, onWednesday I set up my iMac again and instantly realised I had problems, much worse than before. I called Amsys to inform them of the issue of the computer being very very slow and unable to open iPhoto and pages, and document listing would not show up, plus I had no sound on the mac.They informed me that they had only replaced the video card and what they had done would have not affected the computers performance. He suggested I reinstall OSX again which I did, but this made no difference to the programs, so I called you.
    Your technician on the phone was very good as they have always been, and made an appointment for me to go into the Milton Keynes Apple store the next day at 1 pm, which I did.
    The gentleman on the Genius Bar was very good and was able to run tests on the iMac in my presence, and diagnosed immediately an issue with the sound problem, and advised me that this could not be fixed while I wait and I would need to leave it for repair. I made him aware of the previous repair, and he was able to see via your system, the list of logged issues I have had with this since purchasing in September 2012. I'm sure you can see from the way you record all calls and issues the problems I have had.
    Today I called to ask if my iMac would soon be ready for collection, I was told the repairs had been completed and it was being tested. However to my dismay, I learned of another serious issue relating to the repair carried out by Amsys. I was informed that 6 screws were missing from the the iMac internally, which caused me much distress and concern, they also told me I had to wait even longer as the screws had to be ordered and installed on arrival before I could collect it.
    My issues here are: I trusted the Amsys repairer as it was arranged and recommend by you, it is very evident they are not competent to repair, as they have caused more problems with my iMac on its return, despite enclosing a checklist, fully ticked showing everything working well, it clearly wasn't ! Plus the issue of missing parts (screws) during the repair, I have already expressed my disgust with Amsys, by email and had a response, within the hour, apologising and told me they were looking into this.
    This where I stand on this, I have not had my iMac for  almost two weeks and I do not know when I will get it back. I'm also very worried about what other damage has been caused by Amsys and the quality of my iMac now. I want to know what you, Apple is going to do about this ? I have already been very inconvenienced by this and until now I have been a very loyal apple customer with 2 iPads, and 4 iPhones in our household, not to mention the iMac.
    I feel I have been very let down by this experience, on my iMac, which cost a lot of money, I have also lost a lot of money with lost work and unable to carry out my business without it, and I will be seeking compensation.
    I trust you will take this complaint seriously and pass it to the relevant department for action.
    Yours sincerely
