"Profile is missing or corrupted." Will not start again even with fresh install.

Apparently after some kind of crash, whenever I start Firefox I receive an error message saying "Profile is missing or corrupted. Cannot be loaded" or something like that. The information about loading the Profile Manager does no good, since it presumes you can already start Firefox. It is not even allowing me to create a new profile, and downloading a new version of Firefox does not work either.

Hello tomreedtoon,
try to delete the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profiles.ini_file profiles.ini] file to force firefox to create a new profile, the profiles.ini file exist in firefox profile folder '''path'''
for your windows use "Start > Run" (or press "Windows key+R" to open the Run box) and type :
%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox
and click "OK" to quickly open the appropriate folder
when the new profile created (after you delete the profiles.ini folder) then see:

thank you

I broke my ipod 5 generation ipod and had some pretty important notes on there and it will not start again. I also have an ipod 4th generation and I was wondering if you could use icloud or something to restore my notes on to this ipod. Any ideas?

If you had been syncing notes on your iPod with iCloud before this happened, go to icloud.com and confirm that your notes are still there. If they are, you could either email them to yourself one at a time from icloud.com or you could sign into your icloud account on your other iPad in Settings>iCloud and turn Notes to On to sync them to your other iPod.

I paid for and downloaded episode 5 of breaking bad, with 13.58 seconds left, it froze and no matter what I do it will not start again. Any suggestions?

I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

I want to sync my Voice Memos but iTunes 10.5 will not let me even with the "include voice memos" checkbox selected. As well Ive deselected all the music in itunes so when I sync there will be none on my phone but itunes also ignores this request and puts purchased music back on. I do not have autofill selected. Also wondering where the backup of my iphone 4s is located on my hard disk. Any help greatly appreciated.

Powermac G4 will not boot from CD with OS10 install BUT will boot with OS 9

I have a Powermac G4 which had been running OS 10.38 or 39. The system on start up would sound the tones, the grey screen with Apple logo displays and the rotating clock at the bottom of the screen ultimately freezes and nothing more happens.
I presume that the hard drive is either smoked or corrupted so I buy a replacement drive and Tiger, and go through the following steps:
I disconnect the old drive and try to boot my g4 with Tiger install disks. The start up freezes in the same way as with old disk.
I find my old Panther install disks and the system freezes in the same way.
I then use my 9.2 install disk and the system boots and I get cannot see my new drive.
I disconnect my new drive, reconnect my old drive and re-boot with 9.2 and find my old drive mounts. Big Smile but...
here is the question:
Since I apparently have a still functional drive, why won't my install CD for Panther or DVD for Tiger not boot this system???? I do have a panasonic DVD/CD writer which is aftermarket if that might be the issue. If so would re-installing the apple CD player make a difference?
(I have also zapped the PRAM)
I am on the way out to try and find a copy of disk warrior to try and salvage my old drive. All help would be appreciated.
PowerMac G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

I had a really weird problem that might be something like you're experiencing. I was trying to get Tiger onto a "Yikes" PCI G4, and it would not boot up with the Tiger disk.I did everything I could come up with, and no luck. I spent a good bit of time here and over at macosx.com, and no one could figure it out. I finally just re-installed 10.2.8 on a partition, and for some unknown reason, the computer booted with the Tiger disk, and I was able to install. I let the people on the boards know it, but didn't go back to tell them what happened the next day. When I tried to restart, it would only boot into OS9. If I tried to force Tiger (like by choosing it as start-up) it would go to a black screen. Anyway, it ended up no go. If you'd like to go through all the things I did, here's the link to that thread:
http://macosx.com/forums/mac-os-x-system-mac-software/272035-cant-install-tiger- g4-pci-yikes.html
I would still like to know if there's some reason some "Yikes" models just can't deal with Tiger.

I have an Apple wireless keyboard that will not turn on, even with new batteries. The contacts seem fine. What could be the problem?

My wireless keyboard will not turn on despite new batteries. It is about 8 years old. The contacts seem to be good. What could be the problem?

Hi elljohnson,
It is important when replacing discharged batteries in the Apple Wireless Keyboard to make sure the new batteries are oriented correctly. See this article for directions -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Nomad MuVo will not power on even with a new battery. USB works fine, just No Green

It was working fine. I didn't use it for a couple of weeks and thought the battery was dead. But it will not even come on with a new battery. Any suggestions?

Since it connects properly to the pc, I suggest loading the latest firmware into it.

Make sure that is the correct firmware for your exact Muvo model. If not, then choose the proper one.

Firefox will not start up even after I uninstalled and reinstalled.

I even did a system restore to back before the problem started in case it was a OS problem. I did notice a firfox safemode file in system startup which was not the location I installed to. There are icons on my desktop and start menu. I recently switched to Panda Secuity so I uninstalled that and switched back to System Mechanic [used for several years, worked fine with Firefox] to see if it made a difference, it did not. Any help or suggestions greatly apprciated.

Rename or delete the lrdata file. Then start Lightroom and it will create a new one, and will begin generating new previews.

TS1424 Does anyone know about a problem 12001 downloading a movie? The download was stopped and will not start again.

This occurred whilst downloading. The download stopped and now I can't start it again. Even if I try to purchase it again I can't, as it says 'downloaded' instead of the price tag. I'd love to know the answer as we are in the middle of the third season of 'Game of Thrones'! Thanks.

This response is a little late as I just read about your problem. I have a 2012 Dodge Charger and a 2012 Chrysler Town and Country and both worked flawlessly with the iPhone 5s my wife and I had. However, we just upgraded to the iPhone 6 and Uconnect will receive calls but you cannot answer them. You can callout successfully, however. the annoyance being the inability to answer incoming calls in the HandsFree mode.

Firefox, recently, will not open links in Outlook and after I close Outlook, Firefox will not start again until I reboot the computer.

Firefox IS my default browser. I have tried reloading Firefox from scratch, and Outlook from scratch. I have been using Firefox for years. Only similar previous problem was that link would try to open inI.E., fail, then would open successfully in Firefox.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Can't remember any change that occurred simultaneously.

Hello friend, i have a suggestion:
Sometimes my Firefox closes and the same thing happens... So I close the process, on the Task Manager (famous ctrl + alt + del on Windows) and start Firefox again. Try it!:D
[]'s

FireFox will not start, I even uninstalled it and reinstalled and cannot get it to open. When I click on the icon it seems like something is about to happen and then nothing does. No processes activate it Windows Task Manager either.

See question.
