Profile missing error, PLEASE HELP!

I have read and tried all of the different options within the forum and nothing is working! Its so frustrating! A while back i randomly had the first profile missing error and to fix it i simply reinstalled firefox, when that didnt work I went through and completely deleted anything that had firefox or mozilla in all my libraries figuring i could then just reinstall a complete fresh install. But i was way wrong and that definitely didnt help. Ive now tried all of the different methods on this site to fix the profile missing error and it isnt working, which i think is because when it says to go to ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles folder it is completely empty and there is not a profile to be found. So i am unable to start firefox at all so i cant make a new profile that way, or any other method at all! Please please help! Im running OSX yosemite 10.10.3, any help would be greatly appreciated!!

See:
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-run-firefox-when-your-profile-missing-or-inacc
This is usually caused by a problem with the profiles.ini file and the profile marked as Default=1 in this file is no longer present on the hard drive.
*Windows: %AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\<br>C:\Users\&lt;user&gt;\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\&lt;profile&gt;\
*Linux: ~/.mozilla/firefox/
*Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/
You can use one of these to make Firefox create a new default profile or reuse an existing profile:
*Delete the profiles.ini file to force Firefox to create a new default profile
*Use the Profile Manager to create a new profile<br />Use "Choose Folder" when you create a new profile to select the location of a lost profile and recover this profile

  • Firefox 4 b7 gives a Profile Missing error when launching

    Firefox worked before on my OS X (10.6.5) system, but now gives a Profile Missing error that says "Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible." I can't launch the Profile Manager using the Terminal command. I tried putting a clean install of Firefox 3.6.12 on, but the process closes as soon as it opens without any dialogs. No icon pops up on the dock.

    Zensa posted a very useful command and it works well to solve this problem ...

    Give it a try and it helps ... although your mac will ask for your admin password ... that made me scare a little.
    Firefox 4 works fine now on my MacBook pro with OS X 10.6.7

    Well, after another call with Apple support and the engineers, no success.  After spending over 20 hours trying to debug this, I give up.  Apple was basically fishing for a solution with trial-and-error settings on the iphone.  Then they wanted me to plug in software to log my iphone connections to the router, etc, etc., etc., at which point I decided I no longer wanted to participate in their testing process and will simply return the router.
    25 hours of my life I'll never get back.
    Big bummer, and frustrating for all the obvious reasons.

  • FLASH PLAYER MISSING PLUGIN PLEASE HELP!!

    Since the Last Safari Update,I've been constantly getting a missing plugin message whenever FlashPlayer was required.
    I have tried uninstaling/installing FlashPlayer from the adobe website. But still always asked to download the latest version.And later did disk permission repair/check, nothing worked. I even disabled som of the plugins i had read in the discussion that might cause some problems such as the java cocoa plugin, but flash player's plugin is still missing.
    PLEASE HELP!

    Latest version of Flash is 10.3.181.26
    It installs in Macintosh HD/Library/Internet plug-ins and is available to all browsers.
    Make sure you're getting the right one; there is  one for Firefox, Safari and Opera and a seperate one for Chrome.
    Best to install with all browsers closed (note - you have to open and authorise the installer - it doesn't install automatically on download).
    If a browser's open, quit and reopen it to enable the plug-in.
    Be wary of error messages claiming you don't have the right plug-in. Don't follow links from them, they're often used to redirect you to malware sites.
    And ensure JavaScript is enabled when trying to view Flash; it won't work without it.

  • Windows - No Disk Error - Please help!

    Windows - No Disk Error - Please help!
    Hi,
    I have the following set up:
    * Lenovo T-61p
    * Windows XP Pro, SP 3
    * HP Photosmart 8250 printer (with nothing plugged into the various card readers, and USB slot in the printer)
    I am getting the following error:
    Windows - No Disk
    Exception Processing Message 0xc0000013 Parameters 0x75CE023C
    0x84C40C84 0x75CE023C
    I have done a lof experimenting and thru process of  elimination, and believe I have determined that this only happens when the HP Photosmart 8250 printer is plugged in to the USB slot of the computer.
    I can stop it from happening by safely removing hardware, and removing the drive that the 8250 creates on your computer when you plug it in.  In my case, this is drive E.  I'm guessing if there was something in the the various card readers, and USB slot in the printer, that's what those would be, but I don't those use those functions of the printer.
    I understand there is more at work than simply the printer, because I did not used to get this error, so some software changed as well, that is scanning all ports, and finding a drive that has no disk, and producing the error.
    A simple google search finds a lot people all over the world having this problem, and are solving it in different ways, because the suspected source is different: Norton, HP, etc.
    I have tried everything I have read, and the only thing that works was my own idea, of manually safely removing the drive the printer creates each time I plug in the printer.
    Anyone every any better, more permanent solutions?  Or know what the real root of the problem is?  What is scanning all the drives and being showing an error message because it found an empty drive?
    Thanks and Happy Holidays/New Year!

    I've been getting the same error on my 4G nano for the past week. I've had my nano for about a month and the first few weeks were fine. Tried it on 2 different computers (Vista and XP) and same problem. Tried it on a 3rd (XP) and it started ok. Problem started coming back after a day.
    I was able to find a quick fix though. I noticed that sometimes the message says something like "iexplore.exe... no disk..." even if I don't even use IE. What I do is end iexplore.exe on task manager before running iTunes and syncing my nano. I don't get the error whenever I do this, but one drawback is that the contents of my nano suddenly pops up in a window - even when disk use is not enabled.
    I've reset/restored my nano dozens and dozens of times to make sure it's clean. Leads me to believe it's a driver issue. Either that or I have a friggin malware problem I can't seem to find.
    I'll be posting updates every now and then. I'm no expert so I'm hoping an Apple expert also steps in to give some input.

    Hey erinoneill24,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Sounds like you can't update your device. You don't mention an error that it gives you. Take a look at both of these articles to troubleshoot.
    iPod displays "Use iTunes to restore" message

    If you can't update or restore your iOS device
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808?viewlocale=de_DE_1
    If you started your device in recovery mode by mistake, restart it to exit recovery mode. Or you can just wait—after 15 minutes the device will exit recovery mode by itself.
    Have a nice day,

  • Indesign missing fonts, please help!

    Hi!
    i
    I just switched from windows 8 to a mac mini. I had indesign CC trial on the PC and now that I switched to a mac fonts are missing n my document. Both versions of indesign were up to date. How do I get my fonts back please help. The font I really need is called "Onyx"
    I dont know why the fonts were working on the PC using the same indesign trial but on the Mac i download the indesign trial the font is missing. Please help!!!!!!

    On behalf of Adobe ...
    Onyx is not a font provided by Adobe with InDesign or any of the Creative Suite or Creative Cloud offerings. It is installed on your Windows system when you install Microsoft Office.
    Likewise, if you have licensed and Installed Microsoft Office on your Macintosh, Onyx is installed on your system.
    If you have not licensed and installed Microsoft Office on your Macintosh, you can license the font at http://www.fonts.com/family/248141/onyx.

    I can't open my books with the update, says failed to load book because the requested resources is missing.  Please HELP.

    If you can't open a particular ibook then try deleting it from the bookshelf via the Edit button at the top right of the bookshelf, and (assuming that it's still in your country's store) redownload it via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the app (or if you have a copy of it on your computer's iTunes library sync it back from there).
