No matter what I do I cannot get the uninstall wizard to come up. How do I uninstall Mozilla Firefox?
Program uninstall doesn't work, helper.exe doesn't bring up the uninstall wizard. I'm tired of the problems from it even though we don't have it as our default browser. I just want it gone! I've tried the suggestions in the chat forum to no avail.
#close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
Try to start Windows Explorer as administrator by right-clicking its icon. Go to those folders and right-click them. Click Properties and under "Permissions" make sure all read/write permissions are checked. If Windows doesn't allow to enable them, start Windows in Safe Mode.
Starting Windows in Safe Mode may prevent your computer from running any malware or tool that may be blocking some administration actions such as removing a folder, modifying a system file, uninstalling a program, etc.
To start Windows in Safe Mode under Windows XP, Vista or 7, press F8 repeatedly during reboot until a menu appears, and choose Safe Mode. Under Windows 8 you should start (Windows+R) msconfig, go to Boot and mark "Start on safe mode". Reboot your computer and Windows 8 will run safe mode.
Once on Safe Mode try to perform the action you were trying to do and check if it now works.
You should delete the following folders if present:
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
C:\ProgramData\Mozilla Firefox
C:\ProgramData\Mozilla
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Mozilla
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Mozilla Firefox
C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla
C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla Firefox
Also cleanup your temporary and rubbish files with Windows built-in hard disk cleaner or alternatives such as CCleaner or TuneUP utilities.

I have iTunes 11.0.1 and no matter what I do I cannot get it to open any extra windows. Double clicking does Nothing. Help Pleez.
I certainly agree. You can comment to Apple on the matter via their feedback page, if you wish:

Perhaps if enough of us request it, they'll put that feature back.

In IPhoto, I cannot get the "Edit picture" to come up when I click on "options." Only "border" and "effects" comes up. How do I get "edit"?
When you select Edit in iPhoto by Control (right) - clicking on the thumbnail or using the Command(⌘)+E key combination:
you'll get this options in the Edit window:

Firefox (v. 18.0.1) will not run my school programs any more since the Java scare. It also is choking at running screencast-o-matic.
And this is happening on both my computers not just one.
I have emptied Java cache, emptied the browser caches, downloaded the latest Java, Reinstalled it. Cleared caches again, etc., etc., etc.
Firefox will not run Java and I have to use IE which is the only browser that I have gotten the scripts to function so that I can use my programs.Been there done that. Actually I have even install a fresh Firefox on virgin win8 64-bit laptop (without synchronising to my firefox in general) with the absolutely latest Java - didn't help either. And my test page is not the only one, but as I did this myself I know exactly the contents.
Since then my Firefox is in sync... well more or less as it seems it only sync some ways but that is another matter... but at least most of my stuff is back in place.
What I know is that the egg.html takes forever to load, and that the java part never shows. I think that this goes for most Java places, but I do remember that it was not always the case. Right now even the Oracle test page can't find Java, and I know it could at some point. Reinstalling tells me I already got Java, so it is there, likewise it is active in the plugin window. But some parameter some where must have gone haywire. -
I lost my ipod for about six months, now when I plugged it into my pc, the itunes store no longer shows up and i cannot connect to any app or itunes from the ipod.
Change your iTunes (Apple ID) password along with any other password that was stored in the iPod. If any passwords are associated with credit cards, contact the CC company and get your card replaced (with a new number). If any passwords are associated with your bank or any savings institution, contact them also and discuss approprate action with them.
The "Find my..." function is pretty much useless if the device is in the hands of a thief. All that is necessary is for the thief to connect to any computer with iTunes and "Restore as new."
The only real protection you have is with the personal information on the device rather than the physical device itself. This requires action before the device is lost/stolen. If the device has significant personal information, it should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries. -

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You may have authorised some of them twice, you could always try de-authorising them multiple times or just de-authorise them all.
Please note however, you are only permitted to do this once in each 12 month period, therefore you would be better de-authorising your computers before you lose access to them. you can do this from the 'Store' menu in iTunes. -

No matter what I do I always get a 404Error for two of my pages
No matter What I do I cannot link to two pages of mine every
time I try I get a 404 error.. The url is the exact url I even use
the thing and drag it over to the file and look at it to make
sure... No matter what page I try to link to one of these two pages
it still doesnt work.
I have tried making the two pages all over again and that
didnt help.. I tried everything I know how to do..
Here is my site www.furnaps.com
there is a box at the top that says Freebie site reviews and
there are two links one says Rewards1 and the other Prizerebel..
the urls are rite but if you click on them you get a 404 error..
same goes if you use the navigation and go to the page that says
site reviews and then you will see links to these two pages again
but those one dont work either....
Why am I getting these 404 errors when the urls are rite??

I cannot get the icloud to load any of the apps. It worked fine earlier today and yesterday. What is wrong?
You said:
"whatever is attached to usb port is not recognized and there are no drivers."
This imples that your computer does not see any device, not just the iPod when it is connected ot a USB port. This points to a major problem with Windows or a hardware problem. Use the WIndow's troubleshooting to get the USB ports to work. -
When I convert a PDF to a Word doc, it "converts" as a picture and I cannot edit the document. What can I do to get the PDF to convert properly?
Hi conversionnewbie,
Are you able to select the text in Word by triple-clicking inside the text box? (Sometimes text selections can be tricky in converted files.) If you can't select the text, then I'm guessing that the PDF was created from a scanned file (so the text becomes images). Make sure that OCR is enabled when you convert the file to Word. OCR is enabled by default in the ExportPDF web interface, but can be disabled in Adobe Reader. If you're converting to Word from within Adobe Reader, make sure that OCR is enabled and that the correct language is selected:
Please let us know that works for you!
Best,
Sara
