New computer...Windows 7...I'm used to Mozilla as my web browser...I can't get to the homepage. What am I doing wrong?
I got a new computer yesterday and am now using Windows 7 (ugh). I want Mozilla Firefox as my browser. I downloaded it and it's showing up on my All Programs but I can't seem to get to the homepage.
The screen that says "Download Now" also shows the proposed iTunes version number (in the box below):
Be sure it indicates 11.1.3.
If it is, here's further troubleshooting:

I just moved to the UK the US. I have a 2009 Macbook Pro and today attempted to charge it, with an adapter for the plug. BUT I can't get the computer to charge, what am I doing wrong? I am almost out of battery! Help!
To be on the safe side, get the travel pack for the magsafe; the UK 3-pin adapter replaces your 2-pin US adapter on the transformer.
Meanwhile, check that the adapter you're using is compatible with the US 2-pin; most adapters sold in UK are for French and German 2-pin plugs, which are slightly differently spaced, so you may not be getting a proper connection. -
I have a late 2008 MacBook I cant get to send sound to my TV when I try to watch movies. I have bought the HDMI cable and audio connectors but still no sound. What am I doing wrong?
Hi Maryan,
Open System Preferences > Displays > select the window for you external monitor > click on the Arrangement tab and check the box next to Mirror Displays. It may be slightly different in Lion, but the idea is the same. -
I need to restore my iPhone. Once in iTunes, I get an error message asking me to use my passowrd to unlock phone. The problem is that I can't get to the password lock screen. All I can get is the iTunes screen or the emergency call only screen.
yes did you buy it of somebody or a well known company such as apple or carphone warehouse?
and i mean the phone would have been activated in the first place with the sim card you get given when you first get the phone.
trying to activate the phone with another sim card that you did not get when you brought the phone may result in you not being able to activate it
no worries -
Hello, my father recently passed (using his ID) and I took over the payments on his mac and took his computer. I am not that familiar with mac, but am usually computer savy. However, this one has me stumped. I have no problem starting the built in cam and it seems to work fine with all other programs I've tried using it with. However, it will not work with yahoo. Whether I use normal yahoo messenger or if I try using Yahoo through I chat. The cam button will not light up, therefore, it is not clickable. Which ultimately means I cannot use my cam on yahoo, which is something I use 99% of the time compared to other programs. So why is this happening and what solutions can I take to try and fix this? The mac I am using is: Mac OS X, Version 10.7.4
Thank you for any and all help, it is much appreciated.Welcome to Apple Discussions!
1) If the iTunes preference window is open when you connect your iPod, the iPod will not be recognized by iTunes.
Also, iPods can work with many iTunes libraries, so that is not the problem here.
Is all the software on your computer up to date?
iTunes
iPod Updater
Updating iPod's Software
Does the iPod show up in My Computer when connected to your computer? Does it say Do Not Disconnect?
Try the steps listed here...
iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes
If you are going to use your iPod with multiple iTunes libraries (home and school)...
Using iPod with multiple computers
2) What part aren't you understanding. Here are a couple of free programs you can use to convert videos...
MPEG Streamclip
Videora iPod Converter
The programs should come with documentation and instructions to convert videos.
3) You can go to file-->add file to library, file-->add folder to library, or have iTunes open and drag the files into the iTunes library while viewing the library.. You can also import from CDs.
iTunes needs to be adding the songs to the iPod. You cannot just add the song files to the iPod.

This particular ad, supposedly from a Windows Certified Partner, opens in a second Firefox window and keeps flashing the message that my System Performance is Poor, wanting me to click on their ad and let them do whatever nasty things they want to my system. I have not been able to capture the path but next time it comes up, I will write down all that I can see.
If I have closed my main Firefox screen first, and then close out this ad, the next time I open Firefox, the ad opens and all my standard tabs are gone, requiring me to reopen each one seperately (Facebook, Google, etc).Just to address the last point: check your History menu to see whether you have the Restore Previous Session option and use that if you can. If that is grayed out or doesn't restore everything, check the Recently Closed Windows and Recently Closed Tabs lists for other pages.
The unwanted window may be generated by an add-on. Try disabling ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.
Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Any improvement?
Here are some other things to check:
(1) user.js file that changes Firefox startup behavior and overrides your preferences. This article describes how to track that down and delete it if you have one: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].
(2) Possible hijacked shortcut. Check the "target" of the desktop icon you use to start Firefox to see whether it lists the unwanted page. To do that:
right-click the icon > Properties > Shortcut tab
For 64-bit Windows 7, the Target should be no more and no less than this:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
(3) Possible undisclosed bundle items. If you have installed any free software recently, check your Windows Control Panel, Uninstall a program for surprises. If you click the "Installed on" column head to group by date, it is easier to spot bundled junk. Remove everything suspicious or unrecognized.
(4) Supplemental clean up scans. Our support article lists tools other Firefox users have found helpful: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
Hopefully that cures it. -

My laptop connects to the internet via my wireless network at home. My ipad will not bring up the internet using the same connection. It shows in the wi-fi settings as connected but when I bring up safari, nothing comes up. Any ideas?
Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
iPad: Issues connecting to Wi-Fi networks http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3304
iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199
Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

My old computer (Windows 7) died and I have a new computer (Windows 7). I had my iTunes library backed up, but I can't get it to work on my new computer. Is there a way to transfer what is on my iPod Touch (16 gb) to my new computer without losing it on the iPod?
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Not with iSync, that's for sure. You should post your question in an appropriate iTunes forum here:
