My non intel Mac runs OS10.5.6 but won't run Firefox 4.0, will I be able to run it at a later date or is my G5 ready for the graveyard?

Latest update says it won't run on my Mac (see question above) and current latest compatible version (3.6.17) will have full tech support for only a limited time now. Is there anything I can do to bring my Mac up to spec. Is it really a dinosaur already? Will I be able to run FF4.0 (or later) at a later dater date?
Any answers appreciated, thanks... B

Ah you have PPC version. Either you can keep using Firefox 3.6.* are try a third party version of Firefox 4.0.* at http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
The Firefox 4.0 and newer downloads contains the 32-bit and 64-bit version for Intel at moment.

NEW QUAD G5 WON'T RUN

Hi all!
I've just received my new Quad G5.
I was transfering my old session from 2x2G5 to new Quad by Firewire targeting.
In the middle of the process, the Quad worked down (black screen with I/O picture). I've pressed 5 seconds the button and now, my Quad won't run.
Nothing to screen, nothing to keyboard and mouse (no red light under).
Fans are working very fast. that's all... Keyboard is not responding. I can't boot on CD because I cannot open the trap...
I've tried to reset mother board (little button behind fans), pulling-up and replacing micro-cell to reset PRAM but nothing, always nothing....
Could anyone help me ? Thanks a lot for your responses.

1: Reboot the computer by holding the power button and then the mouse button down (wired mouse connected to the Quad itself) the drive tray will open.
2: Stick Tiger install cd #1 and close the tray by gently pushing. Hold the power button to reboot the Quad and hold down the option key. A list of bootable selections will appear.
3: Select AHT and run the extended tests, note any hardware problems. If any call Apple. (note: AHT on the disks expire after so many OS updates as Apple changes things in firmware occasionally)
4: If AHT is clear then reboot holding C key. The computer will boot from the cd.
5: Under the installer menu will be Disk Utility, run the repair disk and repair permissions. Note any problems. If the disk has hardware problems call Apple.
6: Quit the installer/reboot the computer, you shouldn't need to hit the power button. See if the computer boots from the internal drive.
7: If not go back to #4 and from Disk utility select Erase w/zero option the internal drive (this will erase all data!) and quit and reinstall Tiger fresh.
8: Don't run Migration assistant, it copies things blindly, won't copy copy protected programs and hacks correctly. Instead use your same login name, password, etc. as the Dual, leaving the hard drive name the only difference between the two, update your OS to the latest version, then install apps from fresh sources.
9: Now Firewire target disk mode the Dual and copy your iTunes folder, Safari bookmarks and Mail boxes to exactly the same location on the Quad (import the mail boxes). Don't open iTunes yet. Take the Dual off and rename the Quad hard drive exactly as the Dual, now start iTunes and your playlist pathnames should be correct. Now you can rename the Quad hard drive.
10: Visit Carbon Copy Cloner 's forums and learn how to clone your new perfect boot config to a external drive as a alternate boot method. It will save your bacon.

Mac 10.3.9 won't run firefox 3.6. is there an earlier version it will run that is higher than 2.2?

i have an ibook G4. it is running firefox 2.0.0.20 and won't support 3.6. my system is running really slow and i'm pretty sure i can't upgrade my software due to the age of my mac.
is there a version of firefox between 2.0.0.20 and 3.6 that i can use? just to speed up the system and make my javascript work again? it is all bonkers

The last version that runs on OS X 10.3.9 is Firefox 2.0.0.20
Firefox 3 upwards require OS X 10.4, and Firefox 4 will require OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.

New Twitter app won't run?

After owning an iPhone since gen1 - I know how to do most anything on one...but the new Twitter app just won't start?
Got the update message in the iStore on the phone, d/l and then installed like always - there was no interupption to the
install either...
Now the app appears normal on the screen - I touch it to start - it darkens....for like 3 secs...then pops back to it's normal
bright color...and never ever starts.
Have uninstalled it, turned off iPhone, reinstalled it - same...
Have updated the iPhone OS too....done the same uninstalll, reinstall - same..
Have gone to Twitter in Safari, hav accepted the topbar where it says that I can install their mobile app....installed it again perfectly - same....
The Twitter mobile app will not run no matter what I do...
help here someone?

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

New Install - MainStage won't run - any ideas?

Looks like the 2.0.0 was tip off - there were two versions of MainStage installed... I didn't realize the 2.1.1 installed a new binary.

New 27 iMac won't run Chrome Beta (fresh download) - I used Migration Asst.

I just setup my shiny new 27 inch i7 and used Migration Assistant to copy my stuff from an older dual G5 running Leopard. It took nearly 12 hours to copy the 300+GB of data.
Mostly things like iPhoto, Lightroom, Mail, etc. work GREAT.
However, one of the first orders of business was to download the Google Chrome beta which I've been running on my MBP and MacPro.
When I try to open the Chrome app it immediately quits (tried a restart of the iMac). The detail report doesn't shed any light on what happened to me (maybe others would be able to determine the cause from the report).
Any ideas ?
I was wondering if by copying stuff from a Leopard system (and non-Intel) that I now have some backwards compatible setting ON that is preventing Chrome from loading.
I've never used Migration Assistant before, always hand copying what I needed on a fresh install. Maybe I should reinstall Snow Leopard over my current User folders.
Thanks,
Ed

In the end a manual transfer of pictures, music, data, etc. was far faster than using Migration Assistant and worked fine. Just replaced Music, Pictures, etc. with the folder from the old computer and all upgrades were performed and everything was in place.
What really made the manual migration palatable is that I have MobileMe. All of those data files (address book, mail preferences, bookmarks, etc etc) moved automatically via MobileMe sync. Without MobileMe, it would have been much harder I suppose.
More difficult was the hassle of reinstalling Adobe Creative Suite, Office, etc. But in the end a fresh install of everything has made my new iMac i7 a screaming fast machine.
Absolutely love it !
Thanks for all the advice.
Ed

New Mac, ARD won't run

We've recently installed new(er) Macs - dual 2GHz G5s - in our MIDI lab. We'd been using G4s before, and have used ARD 2.2 successfully for several years.
After transferring everything from the old to new machines, I went to fire up ARD. I was asked for the serial number, which I supplied. Following that, it appeared to re-install the software, then quit. Everytime I try to start ARD, it goes through the same routine: re-install software, quit. I haven't been able to actually open the application.
All suggestions welcome!

I just noticed your profile. Is the G5 running Mac OS X 10.5 as your profile suggest? If so, that's the problem. ARD 2.2 is not supported on Leopard. At least one user (raus), though, posted here that he got ARD 2.2 to work in Leopard. It's the same work-around Apple provided for ARD 2.2 to work on Intel Macs using Tiger. From the finder, navigate to:
/System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteMangement
From the folder, delete (or move) the ARDAgent v3.X file. Reinstall the 2.2 update for ARD on the Apple site. (This may be optional; the original poster just reinstalled the update to be safe.) You can reportedly now run Remote Desktop 2.2 in 10.5. This works for PowerPC and Intel Mac.
Note, though, that this is completely unsupported by Apple and may or may not work, or may cause issues. For proper support for Leopard, you need ARD 3.2.
Good luck.

New intel iMac won't run PE3

My new iMac w/ OS 10.5 will not open my PE3. It shuts down before it is fully open!
Can anyone shed a little light on this problem?

Hi Barbara,
Thanks for taking the time to respond. I never installed the Snow Leopard 10.6 that came with the iMac. I've been waiting till I read a bit more about it! PE3 is the only Adobe product on this computer. I downloaded a trial version of the new PE8 and I was pleased with it. It seems a good idea to up grade now and avoid any future problems with incompatibility.
Thanks again,
Hank

Mozilla, Windows 7, new Flash download won't run

Adobe Flash will not update on my computer. I go through the steps online, uncheck the McAfee offer, and then download the file. When I double click on the file to run the file, I get a window asking for allowance to make changes. I click to ok that, then it should start running the install. Instead, I get a blank window. Nothing will appear or run in this window, it is just completely blank. The title of the window at the top is Adobe Flash Player Installer, and it has been blank for over 30 minutes without anything happening. I'm not receiving any error messages or anything like that, either. Please help.

Does it appear to be the same as my issue on win8.1?:
Empty installer dialog on Windows 8.1

I have a Windows Vista desktop and an old XP laptop, both run Firefox perfectly. However, my Toshiba Satellite T135 laptop will not run ANY version of Firefox--constant "not responding" messages. Chrome and IE9 work perfectly. Help!!

To mostly repeat my question, I am a longtime Firefox user on both an XP laptop and a Vista desktop. So here I get the most "capable" computer of all, a Toshiba Satellite T135 laptop, 64-bit Windows 7, 4G RAM...and it won't run Firefox at all! I have installed an uninstalled both Firefox 3, and just now, Firefox 4. No changes. When I open the software, it usually just locks up for a minute or so, and I finally get a "not responding" message at the top of the screen.
Obviously there is something corrupt in the guts of my laptop. But both IE9 and Chrome work very well--Chrome is blazing fast. I still prefer Firefox because it works best with some particular software I use for work...but I have to go to one of my older computers to do it!
ANY solutions out there? This seems like a very odd problem.
Posting from the Firefox website...using Google Chrome!

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

Old Flash in new Firefox won't run, no warnings.

Opened my laptop using a current version of FF but with Flash 11.9. Viewed one of my pages with Flash content and.... nothing, just an empty div. No warnings that Flash was out of date, etc. So if I have this right FF won't run out of date Flash for security reasons. Fine. I've always seen warnings in these cases. But apparently if Flash is old enough FF just doesn't bother. Visitors have no idea what is happening. It just looks bad.
Is this correct? What is the recommended way of dealing with this from a developer's viewpoint?

We strongly recommend that users always run the latest version of Flash Player. Running an old version puts users at risk for malware infection. The vast majority of users are opted in to background update and are kept updated automatically, but there are users that for whatever reason have chosen to stick with an old, vulnerable version of Flash Player. While this is a bad idea, people are certainly free to do it. The upside is that the affected population that you're describing is pretty small.
The upgrade story will actually get better over time. The latest versions of both Google Chrome and Internet Explorer include Flash Player as a built-in component, distributed with the browser. Users are always updated with the latest version of Flash, and new updates are delivered inline via the Chrome updater or Windows Update respectively. Mozilla has spent a few years talking about how Flash needs to go away, while the other browser vendors have been investing in modernized plug-in interfaces and improvements in plug-in security, and unfortunately the prioritization is showing in the user experience. We're hopeful that Windows 10 will pick up the majority of the WinXP and Vista stragglers as well as many of the Win7 - Win8.1 users, which means that the whole Flash update problem for a very large population of people will be solved in IE once people upgrade.
It's hard to say what's at the root of the specific issue you're describing. With the major browsers on 4 or 6 week major update cycles (we publish monthly to ensure we can catch and address any new injections in the browsers that might come up in nightly/beta versions before they hit the general population, and to align with Microsoft patch tuesday), so you're talking something like 18 months worth of changes between the Firefox version you're running and the version of Flash that you're running. Everything at Mozilla gets done with bugs, and we'd definitely encourage you to file a bug on the user experience that you're seeing. They've been operating from a reactive place lately, and some of the changes that impact Flash definitely appear to be a little slapdash. It's ultimately good for them to hear from the developer community and not just me all the time, but feel free to add me to the CC: list in the bug.
We ultimately have no control over the longevity of a particular build of Flash -- there are way too many external variables -- and we're also investing a huge amount of effort in proactive security work (and it's been our top engineering priority for years). So each build usually includes large numbers of changes designed to either harden the player or address responsibly disclosed issues from researchers, the larger security and computer science communities and whatever the latest auditing and testing tools we can get our hands on are. The continuous stream of innovation and ingenuity in the offense space is impressive, but keeps us pretty busy. Browser-side changes can easily break older versions of the plug-in, and running an old version is just a bad idea.
So we've really streamlined the installation process to keep people on current versions, and Windows 10 will hopefully be a massive shift away from older, more vulnerable versions of Windows. The landscape is so different than it was even 4-5 years ago.. the days of running anything for years (or months) in your browser are long gone. The pace isn't going to slow down anytime soon, either.

Where can I get a download for an earlier version of firefox the new version won't run on my computer

I downloaded version 4 and replaced the old files. The new version won;t run because my Mac dose not have an Intell prossesor. I uninstalled the new version and I cant find the old version to download.

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

The latest Firefox won't run with Mac OS 10.4.11. How can I get the previous version of Firefox?

I have Firefox 12.0. It won't run with Mac OS 10.4.11. I do not want to have to buy a new computer right now. I would like to go back to a previous version of Firefox that will run with my operating system. How can I download an older version of Firefox?

You can find the latest Firefox 3.6.x release in all languages and for all Operating Systems here:
*ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/latest-3.6/

Firefox won't insall into my applications folder. Says can't install because libsmime3.dylib is in use. I am running Mac Os 10.6.7 on a Macbook Pro. I can run firefox okay from the disk image but just won't install into the apps folder.

My system is a Macbook Pro running Mac Os 10.6.7 with a 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 duo processor with 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 ram. The upgrade downloads fine, but when I try to drag the firefox image onto my appication folder, I get a dialogue box that says...Cannot install application because "libsmime3.dylib" is in use. I can run Firefox fine from the disk image.

Nope---didn't work. I've owned Macs for about 12 years so although I am brain dead on some things, I do have a working knowledge on most things. I only say that to say this--I did try holding down the mouse and choosing empty trash. It asks if I want to permanently delete what's in there. I say yes--and then I get the same identical message again-----'The operation can't be completed because the item "Firefox 8.0.1.dmg" is in use I can then click stop, or continue.' So apparently that complains the same way it does if I click it up on the menu :)))
As for item owned by---that's not an issue and isn't coming up. User is not a problem either as I am the only user on this system. There is only ONE file in my trash at the moment at that is this dmg file. Nothing Mac. Nothing owned by anyone other than Firefox. The problem seems to be that the dmg file and the original 4.0 FF file are working in tandem with each other--even though I have already drug the new 8.0 globe into the Apps folder and it updated the FF app with the new stuff. If I could force the dmg file to go away, I would do so, but at every turn the system is telling me it can't be done because it seems to think that dmg file is in use---even though everything is shut down and/or ejected. Hey--I'm getting ready to head out and won't be back till evening. I'll check back in this evening. Thank you again for your help.
