I changed from IE to Firefox. When I click on a shortcut in an email, I get the message "an error occurred in sending the command to the application" in Outlook. It doesn't stop Firefox opening and going to the site, but is annoying.

I have the same problem. Yahoo Sportacular aborts every time I try to open it. It attempts to load and then the device goes right back to the home screen. The problem started April 26 after I switched leagues from NHL to NBA. Closing all apps and Restarting doesn't solve solve the problem.
All other apps on the iPad work fine. IPad2, OS6.
Any other suggestions? I suppose I could delete the app from the iPad and try re-installing it

sure pretty simple. make a backup of your current settings
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US
then restore device from old backup you need pics off of
then import pics to computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
you may need to save pics to camera roll first
then restore the new backup and sync pics back to phone via itunes

I've got the same problem.
It wasn't the case before the upgrade to v 9.2 (Iphoto 11) yesterday.
The previous solution preferences - advanced - "select a store" (last option) doesn't solve it anymore.
Thanks!

If the reset does not help, make an appointment at the Apple store. If your phone is out of warranty and you can't afford what they want, google for local repair services.

I keep receiving this error3259 message when i try to update my ipad 2 . is there some way i can download the ios 4.3.5 update besides using itunes??

network connection error keeps coming up but i can download from safari just fine.

What version shows in Settings > General > About > Version ? If that doesn't show 5.0.1 then see if you can update to it via the following.
To update to iOS 5.0.1 you need iTunes 10.5 on your computer. When you've got iTunes 10.5 installed then connect your iPad to it and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. You should also backup the device (right-click the iPad 'device' and select 'back up'), and copy off any important documents, file, notes etc (e.g. by email, the file sharing section at the bottom of the Apps tab in iTunes, wifi, whatever the apps that you use support) - the update process should backup and restore the content but it's best to be safe.
If iTunes doesn't prompt you to update to iOS 5.0.1 on your iPad, then with your iPad connected to and selected on the left-hand side of it, then on the Summary tab on the right-hand side click the Check For Updates button.

When I try to open Firefox I get a message: "Update could not be installed. Make sure there is not another instance of Firefox. Restart and try again."

Started w/FF 29 something.on Win XP (Home) SP3
Verified w/Task manager and PS that there is no other instance of FF.
Occurs only in my profile, administrator and other users do not get this message.
First Resetting, did not work.
Safe mode also did not work.
Uninstalled completely, even deleted the Firefox folder from my profile and rebooted.
Downloaded new versions, installed and same issue.
Firefox now version 33, all seems up to date but I still get that message. When I open Help > About it says I am at version 33 and to restart to upgrade...
Any ideas greatly appreciated.
Have reverted to SeaMonkey for now.

Hello sprytely, go for a clean re-install, this means you '''remove Firefox program files''' and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from the next full installer 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, 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.
More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [[Troubleshoot and diagnose Firefox problems#w_5-reinstall-firefox|here]].
WARNING:Do not use a third party uninstaller as part of this process. Doing so could permanently delete your [[Profiles|Firefox profile]] data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. These cannot be easily recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device! See [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]. 
Thank you.

When opening Firefox I get this message: Type Error: Components. classes ['@software.ru/skype/skypeFfentension;1'] is undefined. I have reinstalled Skype still have issue, Skype will not load, Firefox will ??

I started having this issue when I went to open Skype and it would not react and gave the message below. Then when I went back to firefox I got the above error message, which dissappears when I click OK and firefox will open. Skype still will not open.

That is a problem with the Skype extension. 
You will have to disable (uninstall) that extension if it isn't working properly.
