New update never finished even after restarting computer and can't uninstall Firefox
After loading Firefox 3.6.10 and restarting the computer, I got the message: you must restart your computer in order to finish an earlier upgrade of Firefox. Do you want to restart now ? I restarted the computer a couple of time. It doesn't work. I get every time the same message. I tried to uninstall Firefox but it doesn't work either.
Try manually resetting the software update feature by deleting the files and folders shown in the "Software Update not working properly" section of this site - http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update
After doing that try to re-install Firefox.

The Pages stop working on my computer when I upgraded OS to Mountain Lion. I reinstalled iWork from CD and updated to 9.3 version from Apple store. I also restarted computer before opening the iWork. It still doesn't work. It keeps giving me the error page. The same thing with Numbers. Only Keynotes opens. What else can I do? Heeelp please!
We are not omniscient. Use screencapture on the error page. Shift + Command + 4 … then drag the cross-hairs around the error, and release. The Screen Shot will be written to your Desktop. Use the camera icon in this editor’s tool bar to embed that Screen Shot of your error in a follow-up post here.
Did you move the Pages and Numbers applications out of /Application/iWork ’09 folder, where they are expected to reside? Did you run /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.app, and on your boot drive, verify/repair permissions? -
Tells me to reboot after I update. I have rebooted many times and can't start firefox.
I updated and went through the process and now when I click the shortcut it says "Your computer must be restarted to complete a previous upgrade of Firefox. Do you want to reboot now?" I have clicked Yes six times now and still nothing. I tried to uninstall it all together but the same message pops up. Any answers to my problem? PLEASE HELP
Do a clean (re)install:
* Download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Don't remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere (not in the Firefox program folder) and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox. -

My Organizer freezesup after opening. A dropdown window says updating. How can I correct?
What happens if you wait for the updating to complete?
If you leave it to complete the task you may then be able to adjust your preferences for watch folder and auto-analyzer; so that it doesn’t happen in future. -
I am using Firefox 14.0.1
I currently have "Never remember history" selected in the Privacy section underneath Tools->Options. I have even used the clear all current history option.
When I click the plus sign to open a new tab a history of the sites that I have visited is appearing. This is after clearing the history and closing all instances of firefox and opening it again.
I'm guessing that the "new tab" is using something other than history because when I type in a website it is not suggesting my recently viewed websites...as expected history was cleared.
I'd really like to know how to clear my entire history including the one that is used on the new tab section.Did you drag a bookmark or history item to slots on the about:newtab page?
Changes manually made on the about:newtab page are stored in the chromeappsstore.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder under the pinnedLinks key and blockedLinks key.
If you delete the chromeappsstore.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder then you need to reset the <b>browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone</b> pref via the right-click context menu to the default on the <b>about:config</b> page and close and restart Firefox to assure that the chromeappsstore.sqlite file gets initialized properly.<br />
Otherwise the about:home might not be working.

I'm "frozen" even after restarting computer?
Working on imovie & have about 32 min of material. Project has mainly stills, small amount of video, but lots of titles, voiceovers, and cutaways. Accidentally placed a caption on a piece of video, and went under Edit and chose UNDO. The program was frustrated. It was no longer showing all my video on the screen! I quit IMovie the correct way, and even restarted the computer. ALL I can do is select from the Menu. When I did, I chose "play from beginning" and it played fine, although a couple of cutaways were deleted which I can replace. What concerns me is I have no ability to scroll, no ability to "choose" anything whatsoever except items from the Menu that are not grayed out. I am relieved the mamouth work I have done is not "lost" but I am in the middle of this project and scared something is amiss as my deadlines approach. Any ideas???????? BTW I have an Apple because I am NOT techincally savvy so be very basic and very step by step please
The file that it refers to will be places.sqlite, this link may help - http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locked_or_damaged_places.sqlite

Tabs will not open when I click to open one. I've been shuffling back and forth between two separate Firefox windows - it really sucks. Please help!
Caused by the Ask Toolbar extension in Firefox 3.6.13 and above, disable that extension or un-install it.

Unable to update Premier Elements even after the Product and Serial number have been registered
Trying to apply online updates through Premier Elements but i am told there is a problem with the serial number.
I have followed all the online advice to try and resolve but nothing seems to work.
Help required please.cathfre
This is not Adobe. Rather user to user.
We will try to help you but typically Adobe is the only one who can resolve serial number issues.
But, whether here or at Adobe Chat, details are needed.
1. What version of Premiere Elements is involved and on what computer operating system are you trying to run it on?
2. Did you successfully install the version and ran into problems only when you went to use Help Menu/Update or some
other scenario? If so, what was the exact message that you got from Help Menu/Update? What were you seeking to update -
Camera Raw or an Update for the version that you have?
We will be watching for your details.
Thanks.

See this KB article to learn how the new Search Bar works - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/search-bar-add-change-manage-search-engines-firefox
If you want the old Search Bar scheme back do this.
Open up '''about:config''' ''(typed in the Location Bar)'' and toggle this preference to '''''false'''''
'''browser.search.showOneOffButtons'''
Then restart Firefox. -
When ever I customize the toolbar, the open new tab sign that is the + sign near the lastly opened tab in the tab bar disappears and it remains so even after restarting Firefox. This happens only after updating to the new version 4.0.1 it never happened in the older versions 3.x.xx- checked it thrice. Thought it could be a bug and i didn't know where to report also don't have time and patience to search for the appropriate page so i'm reporting here for improving my favorite browser.
You can find the New Tab button showing as a '+' on the Tab bar.<br />
You can open the Customize window and drag the New Tab button from the Tab bar on another toolbar and it will become a regular toolbar button like the New Tab button that you have in Firefox 3 versions.<br />
If you want the New Tab button at the far right end of the Tab bar then place a flexible to the left of it.<br />

I was trying to sync my itouch with my new mac, and some songs won't download because they are not authorized for this computer. But even after my computer was authorized they still won't sync. How do I fix this?
I have the same problem. It is only with tv shows and only with programs I have downloaded after the software update.
Apple support sent me the above link too....but it doesn't solve the problem...my computer is authorized and the content is in my library and will play on my Mac air, but it will not sync the tv shows, it keeps saying my computer isn't authorized for it.
No answers here, but you are definitely not alone with this issue. -
A message advising a new Itunes terms and conditions is pop up even after my agree and acceptance... Is there a problem in Itunes? same problem with deferent devices
Just Can't download, buy or even update apps...I use only one Apple ID and only one ID. I did have to change the password at one point but I had no issues at all with updating apps after I changed the password.
If you can download new apps with the ID that you changed the password for, I would think that you will be able to update apps associated with that ID as well.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only Guest login created by Find My Mac.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The Guest login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2. -
Unresponsive system but mouse still moves; even after restart
I was transferring a few files over my LAN wirelessly via file sharing to another macbook (B) when that macbook was closed and caused a disconnect. My macbook (A) has experienced issues since this disconnect. Even after restarts and resetting the pram, my system is unresponsive. The mouse will move but I cannot open applications, folders, files, or even the menu. It is as if my mouse is moving over top a picture of the desktop. I did manage to click and highlight my HD icon once but as soon as I did, the color wheel showed up and never stopped. My hard drive has over 10GB of space free. I was able to do a target disk boot and test the drive and its ok according to disk utility. Any ideas about what I could do would be greatly appreciated...preferably without wiping the hard drive.
The first issue occurred while I was transferring large files from one computer to another via afp file sharing over my wireless network. In the middle of this transfer, someone closed the receiving macbook. The macbook sending the files didn't respond well after this. It would intermittently freeze without a linked resource draining process. I believe the first occurrence was when I tried to right click a file that had been interrupted during transfer. I forced a restart, used the killall Finder command in terminal thinking that it might still be trying to transfer the file to a ghost in some way...even though that didn't make sense. I was able to verify and repair the external drive the file was on. After doing this and resetting the PRAM, it was back to normal for a little while. After a bit of normal activity (nothing strenuous), it began to freeze again. I tried the same steps and also booted in target disk mode so I could use the other macbook to run diagnostics. The drive got repaired. I attempted to restart the affected macbook but I couldn't do anymore than one thing and the never-ending colorwheel would appear. That one thing could be a single click on a file or an attempt of opening an application. After that I turned to this discussion forum after already impatiently attempting to safe mode boot and repair disk permissions. I tried this again with patience after your suggestion. It worked for a few hours and I was able to surf the web once more and go about the usual. I pulled up dashboard and pressed command+ to bring up the list of widgets and it froze on me again. I attempted previous steps again after restarting but there has been no difference in response. Throughout the entirety of this experience, there have been no error messages. Also, there's no difference in behavior if I disconnect everything but the power cable.
Sorry for the lengthy post but hopefully it will be helpful.

I have an older computer and can no longer update. After the latest Apple update I can no longer access my e-mail on my mac. I can view it on my iphone and on icloud. Is there a solution to this problem?
Apple changed MobileMe to iCloud and then restricted iCloud to 10.7 users only unfortunately
If your machine is a 64 bit processor Intel Mac you can upgrade to 10.7 for $29, however a lot of your 10.5/10.6/Rosetta based software could cease to function, especially third party hardware drivers for printers, fax machines, all-in-ones, scanners etc.
http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
Also depending how old the machine is, if it can accept 4GB of RAM (preferred), older video card, may not run 10.7 very well or stable.
My advice is to keep at 10.6.8, get a web based email service that's plaform/hardware neutral, forward your iPhone emails there. Gmail/Yahoo Mail for instance.
When your ready for new hardware and all new software, then buy a new machine.
If your going to go to 10.7 on your present hardware, I advise you clone 10.6.8 to a external drive first, that way you can c boot off the 10.6 disk erase the drive completely (necessary to remove hidden Lion Recovery Partition) and option boot off the 10.6.8 clone and reverse clone.
