Not updating, last was 2009, prefernce update boc checked, but grayed out so can't fix it, how to do it?

I want to sync my firefox browsers between computers Current version on my iMac hasn't updated since 2009 ???? When I try to get it to update, the Firefox box in advanced window is checked but greyed out so I can't do anything to adjust it. How do I upgrade to most recent firefox version without losing all my passwords, etc. why has the box been checked but I'm locked out of it,

I am running OS X version 10.7.5 on a Macbook Air. I read in one thread where someone had an update that was higher than 10.7.5 but when I ask for updates, none are available. Is this the last update for OS X?

Niel, thanks for your response. I have been very wary of downloading Mavericks on this machine. I don't feel it has the power to run it and I'm afraid it was slow it down terribly. It was bought in late 2008. It's fine for my purposes at this time…just holding on until I buy a new one. I have the same problem others have with autofill not working, so I was trying to see if an update would help that situation. Grace

If you're on windows try the following:
This worked for me an hour ago and has allowed me to sync ok. Still haven't tried downloading the new version 5 to the phone yet as I'm still backing up photos etc just in case.
1. Quit itunes
2. Start an elevated command prompt (Start Menu -> All Programs -> Accessories -> right click Command Prompt -> Run as Administrator)
3. Once in the command prompt type the following 3 words starting where your cursor is flashing: netsh winsock reset
4. press ENTER
5. Reboot your machine
6. Restart itunes & connect device to sync
7. Good luck

Well I'll guess you're using iPhoto 11:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Unlikely as you do not meet there requirements for unlocking.
Have your friend the provided the phone contact them. Based on your statements I am concluding he was or still is an AT&T customer, that is one of the requirements of getting the device unlocked.

Here's the error message I get.
Note the TC is connected to my Airport Extreme via ethernet and my iMac is also connected to the AX via ethernet so it's not a wifi issue.
I can see the TC in the finder so it's not 'gone' from the network either.
Also note that just then the TM system pref pane was claiming a backup error, citing my 'network password' and still refusing to backup. I waited 5 minutes and did some tidying of my office while I pondered this and then tried again and voila it worked ok.

I was on a trip and one of my hair products got on my ipod touch everything works but the front camera can i fix the front camera?

i was on a trip and one of my hair products got on my ipod touch everything works but the front camera can i fix the front camera?

Did the iPod get wet by the hair product and probably cause a problem due to the liquid or is there some thing on the front camera lens that prevents the camera from seeing? How does the camera not work?
If liquid damage I doubt YOU can fix it but you can have Apple fix it or a third-party place. If lens is obstructed you may be able to polish the area.

iMessages are backed up in the normal backup of your phone so it will be restored when you restore the backup.

I am about to buy and iphone 4, its second hand and is in amazing condition. The only problem is that the 'wi-fi' button doesn't not work. I tried to click on it but nothing responds. Can this be fixed? Should i still purchase it?

while you are with the person selling it to you, ask if you can do a complete restore of the software settings->general->reset->reset all
reboot the phone to factory settings and see if that fixes the problem. if not, i wouldn't buy it unless they are selling it to you for less than $50. wifi is crucial for keeping data low and using features like facetime

That is the photography plan, if you want more programs you need the full CC plan.

Music not playing after IDT update last night (HP automated update) How can I roll the patch back?

I was notified of an HP update last night. After the update completed, Itunes/MS media player/You-Tube....applications are unable to play. Checked Installed programs and the only update listed was one for IDT drivers. How can I roll back to the previous version?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I had the same issue, after reading several other posts with the same issue, I restored to before Oct 29th. Now my sound works just fine and my games that were also going hinky started to work as well.
It would be nice if HP fixed this issue before sending up another update. It is very annoying to have undo what they did so my computer works correctly.

Hard Drive upgrade problem (No applicable update data was found) system update v2.53

go here with full detailed and working steps:
http://www.problogbooster.com/2014/01/no-applicable-update-data-was-found-ps3.html

I tired it all , this what worked for me : FIRST turn ps3 in to safe mode:Step 1: With the PS3 on turn off the power by holding the power button on the front of the unit till the power light is red.
Step 2:
1. Touch and hold the Power button, you will hear the first beep, meaning the PLAYSTATION 3 is powering on.
2. Continue to hold the Power button and after about 5 seconds, you will hear a second beep, indicating the video reset.
3. Continue to hold the Power button and after about another 5 seconds you will hear a third beep and the system will power off.
Step 3:
1. Touch and hold the Power button, you will hear the first beep, again for the PS3 to power on.
2. Continue to hold the Power button and after about 5 seconds, you will hear a second beep for video reset.
3. Continue to hold the Power button and after about another 5 seconds you will hear a quick double beep. At that point release the Power button. If you succeeded in activating Safe Mode, you will see a message on the screen saying, "Connect the controller using a USB cable and then press the PS button."
4. Connect a USB cable to the controller and the PS3 and press the PS button to enter Safe Mode.
5. Then you will see the Safe Mode menu. Next : download ps3 update on playstion website , and put into usb stick: make sure its lile this : PS3/UPDATE/XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXX is the file you downloaded, and ps3 and update need to be caps, after safe mode out usb for controller in first ONLY, do not put usb stick with update in yet, then after in safe mode go restore setting, this will take you back to the page where you need to put your ps3 controller on again, then it will ask you for update, THEN you put usb stick in, and folow on screen. i tired everything, this way it worked for me, safe mode then update, make sure usb is phat32 like always,

Content and Apple IDs -
Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with one Apple ID with a new Apple ID.
