On a clean Firefox download I consistantly can't open Firefox because "Windows can't find Firefox.exe" - doesn't look like it's being downloaded.
I have used several download sites including Mozilla's to try and download Firefox. In every case, when the download is "complete", the Firefox icon appears in the taskbar. When I click on it to open Firefox I get this message "Windows cannot find 'C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again." I've searched my computer and FIrefox.exe is not there. When I looked at the files that were downloaded in C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox there are quite a number of files including one with the Firefox icon and the name "Firefox". Clicking it once again brings up that can't find Firefox.exe dialog box. I'm on an Acer Aspire with Win 7 32 bit. I did have Firefox on the laptop but a virus forced me to restore the laptop to its original configuration. I've reloaded my programs with the exception of Firefox.
Hello, try these free programs to scan for existing malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

[http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.
then, if your laptop in clean try a clean re-install :
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/ and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, if exist, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
Thank you.

Garage band can not open files because sound can't be found
can not open file. it says sounds are not on computer. but they certenly are! it offers me to buy it.... of i dont do.
i meen i used that sound to create that file...
one day it just worked again for some times. but now same problem again...Please repost in the InDesign forum. It sounds like a permissions issue. Please state your OS, your version of InDesign, and the location of the files that you cannot edit.
BTW, in Lion, Apple decided that older files cannot be opened for editing. You need to open the file and do a save as to create an editable file. This is supposed to protect you from accidentally overwriting old files. I think it is a little big brotherish. But some have said they are happy with the new way of handling old files. -
Can't open songs because it can't find files that are where they should be
For about 90% of my Itunes library, when I try to play a song it says it can't be opened because the file can't be found. I can find the file and it's exactly where it should be and once I find it, it plays fine. These are not new songs, but one's I've had in the library a long time. It's pointing correctly to the Itunes music folder, but only seems to be able to find stuff that I fairly recently added. Can anyone help?
It is likely that something has been moved. iTunes does not do folder watching so if anything moves or is renamed iTunes will not find it.
If you open iTunes Music Library.xml with WordPad, you can see where iTunes thinks your music files are located.
Look for Lines starting <Location>, note the the space character is represented by %20 in the path.
You can look for specific files with Find.
This may help you to workout what has gone wrong. Whether or not this leads to an easy solution is less certain. If the files are not where iTunes thinks they should be, and moving them so that the path is correct is one possibility if it can easily be done. The other is to use Find and replace to correct the paths if there is an easy edit that can be done. Then recreate the library from the xml file as in this article.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451
The third possibility that is easy and certain to work is to start with a new library. But this loses all counts ratings and playlists.
Close iTunes, drag iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Music library.xml out of the iTunes folder to the desktop.
Open iTunes and an empty library is created. Use File>>Add folder to library... to add you iTunes Music folder. -
"Safari can't open page because it can't find the server"
So i bought an ipod touch at the start of April and i still can't figure out how to access the internet, itunes, etc at my house. I have tried EVERYTHING and NOTHING seems to work.
when i'm uptown i can get on the internet to work as long as no password is required.
my ipod touch says that it is connected to the internet, but then "cannot find server" pops up when i go on safari, and only the IP address and subnet mask are filled out. Also, my IP address is 169...
I have a dlink router, if that helps.
I am getting very frustrated with this, as my main reason for buying the ipod touch is the internet feature. I know that i am not the only on with this problem, so if anyone has found a solution i would really appreciate it.Hey melnyk_1928,
When a device has a 169.254.x.x IP address it does not have a valid IP address and cannot connect to the Internet. This article provides more information: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58618
Generally WPA2 personal is going to be the best wireless network security option. IF you are using WEP you'll want to use a 5 character or 13 character password for 40 or 128 bit WEP.

I have apps from old work account that I can't remember the password to. On my personal phone those apps keep showing up but I can't update them because I can't remember the password. How can I delete them and download on my new account?
Tap and hold an app until they all start jiggling and an X appears in the icon's top left corner. One by one tap the X to delete the app. when they are all gone you are free to buy them again with your own account.

I can't open the RAW files from my new Nikon D4s camera in photoshop? How do I download the latest software for RAW files? Cheers!
What version of Photoshop are you running? You will need at CS5, CS6, CC or CC2014. Each version needs a different ACR-plug-in to open files from that camera.
If you are on CS4 or earlier, you'll need to upgrade—or, in the alternative; look for, download, instal, launch and run the free, stand-alone DNG Converter 8.6 on each file of raw NEF files to convert them to raw DNGs first so you can open them in your version of Photoshop and ACR plug-in higher than 2.4. -

Try temporarily disabling your firewall and antivirus software and try again...

I have a new Mac and I migrated mi old one to this. I can not open iTunes because a message stating "iTunes Library.itl" can not be opened because it was created in more recent version of iTunes. There is not a new version to download. How can I fix this?
Go to iTunes > about iTunes. What version are you running? If necessary, hold down the option key while starting iTunes and create a new, test library so it will start.

when I move mouse on Firefox-History (it must show context menu) he just begins to think, and after ~20 seconds he looks like I haven't pressed any buttons! I tried to turn off all addons but it doesn't help. Also he "thinks" everytime when he gets new downloading and sometimes on pushing Bookmarks
Try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it functions properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.

I "Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems", but it doesn't look like the view on getting started tutorial, ie: there's no "Firefox tab". I would really like to clean out all the old stuff, including add-ons and plug-ins that I've tinkered in, but don't know about or need any more, then start fresh with the latest Firefox. How can I do that?
The Firefox button does not or did not showupon Windows XP by default.
It is easy to display that just remove the option to display the menu bar toolbar. Note
# The functions and available optons are much the same just organised differenttly
# Menu tool bar may be displayed temporarily; even if the Firefox Button is present: by holding down the keyboard '''Alt''' key
#To remove the menu toolbar use '''View -> Toolbars -> []Menu Toolbar'''<br /> see [[Display the Firefox button menu instead of the menu toolbar]] -

"The file 'iTunes Library.itl' cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes." Updates were only offered by Apple when I'd open iTunes. Now I can't open iTunes. How can I access the newest iTunes as an update, not a new program?
this just started w/ me yesterday. I was running 10.5.3, and nothing changed - the message just appeard out of nowhere. I update to the latest iTunes 10.6 but the message is the same.
Sounds like probably some sort of Library file corruption.
The two options available in the message box are "Download" and "Quit". Download is useless because I'm already running the latest. Quit is pretty useless.
I was going to just create a new Library and re-import all my music. Of course, all my iPhone sync settings are going go have to be recreated. -
I can't open iTunes in Windows 7
I can't open iTunes in Windows 7 even I download the latest version.
(iPhone is iOS 5.0.1)
It's 64-bit Windows 7 and every time I clicked "Agree" in tthe software license, it doesn't work.
Then the PC helping centre shows the following sentence:
"iTunes can not work normally anymore.iTunes has the latest version to download, this will solve the problem.Apple Inc. suggest you to upgrade to newest version of iTunes, to improve the safety and stability."
This shows for many times and I keep upgrade iTunes.How to solve this problem?
P.S. Sorry for any grammatical and spelling mistakes.The sentence is translated by me from Chinese, hope you can know what I mean.There are various things this could be. First restart you computer
Check to see if you QUicktime works as iTunes can't work without it. If it doesn't work, describe what happens.
Then run a virus and spyware scan as malware has been known to do this.
Then check to see if disabling your forewall allows iTunes to start, this hasn't been seen for a while, but in the past firwall blocking has caused iTunes to hang.
Then work through this Apple help on troubleshooting launch failures;

Can not open JPEG files and can not create JPEG files from other software
Can not open JPEG files and can not create JPEG files from other software (For example from Solidworks).
When I try to right click on a JPEG, a notice window appears written: "Windows Explorer has stopped working - Windows is
checking for a solution to the problem" and then the notice box disapears, the desktop appears and I can continue working.
From the other side - If I try to save as JPEG a screen of Solidworks (like a view of a part) the Solidworks falls but the JPEG
is created (I can see its name in the directory I created it).
I can open the JPEGS with the Paint software if I want but not with the Windows Photo Viewer.
I have the feeling that the Windows Photo Viewer disapeared from my computer - just a feeling.
I will appreciate your assistance.
