Recently upgraded to new version of Firefox and after a Windows System Restore was performed today Firefox is no longer accessable (clicking Firefox icon results in nothing) what can I do?

After System Restore Mozilla Firefox icon is still on the bottom of screen but now when I click on the icon the Firefox browser does not open. I have a number of bookmarks saved that I would perfer not to lose - is there anyway I can restore Firefox without losing bookmarks?

Using System restore can cause your Firefox installation to get corrupted because not all files are restored, so be careful with doing a System Restore.
Do a clean (re)install and delete the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 9.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.

Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • I recently downloaded the new version of itunes and was trying to sync my ipod to my new computer and all of my music disappeared.  Where is my music?

    I recently downloaded the newest version of iTunes and was trying to sync my iPod to my new computer for the first time.  Somehow in this process I somehow lost all of my music!  It says that I only havce 10 songs unless I'm looking in my library somewhere else.  But even on my iPod all of my music is gone!  Help someone!!!  Can I find what music I used to have?

    If the music that was removed from your iPod (which happened as a result of syncing it with a new computer... an iPod is designed to sync with only one library at a time.  Connecting it to a new/different iTunes library will erase what is currently on the iPod and replace it with what is in the new library) is no longer in a backup anywhere or another PC, then there is no way to tell what used to be on your iPod.
    You'll need to either rerip the tracks you had from CDs back into iTunes or redownload them from iTunes via iCloud if possible.

  • I have upgraded to newer version of labview, and the older versions of LavVIEW are now piling up. Can I uninstall the older versions? if yes how?

    Do I have to keep all the old versions of LabVIEW as I did not uninstall the older versions, but only downloaded the latest version of labview from the website and installed it. A new version and icon is installed on my PC now. What can I do?

    You asked "Do I have to keep all the old versions...". Of course not. You can do whatever you want. Each version of LabVIEW installs in its own directory, which is what allows you to keep multiple versions installed in case you need to support programs written in earlier version that cannot be upgraded yet for whatever reason. Conflicts may arise if you install older versions later than new ones and you install the libraries for the hardware interfaces like VISA and such. Older versions of these libraries sometimes cause problems with newer versions of LabVIEW.
    If you do not want multiple versions, common practice is to completely uninstall the current version before installing the new one. If you have more than two versions but only want the latest, simply uninstall the older ones from the main NI installer. Depending on how old the versions are that you are uninstalling something with the new one may break so you may need to repair that installation. You may just want to simply uninstall all NI software and then just do a clean install of the latest version. That will likely be your best course of action.

  • Yesterday CC updated and after that the application is so very slow that I have to cancel the app via Task management. What can it be?

    Hello,
    Yesterday I've updated CC via the Update manager. After that the program does not perform anymore. The only option left is to end the task via the Windows Task manager. At a certain moment it stops and stays quit.

  • I was hoping someone can be of  some help in here. I recently bought a new ipad 3 64gb and i thought the picture quality was suppose to be better but you can still see the pixels, is there something i need to do to it to make the quality better

    if someone could of assitance that would be great

    Which pictures?  If you are looking at pictures taken by the iPad's camera, you may actually be looking at electronic noise rather than pixels.  This is caused by amplification required for photos taken in low light.  If that is what you refer to, it can be improved by turning on more lights.

  • I downloaded a new version of iTunes and now Firefox won't open iTunes

    I loaded new version of iTunes and Safari. When system restarted - iTunes won't open. I deleted Safari - still no go.

    I'm having this issue as well. Anytime I click on items that would normally open in Itunes, it tells me I need to install Itunes. I've uninstalled/reinstalled Itunes to no avail. In looking in Firefox's preferences, there's no reference to Itunes in the Applications tab.

  • I upgraded to 6.02 and still get this message from Gmail: "You are using an old version of Firefox which Gmail no longer supports. Some features may not work correctly. Upgrade to new version."

    When I opened Gmail in my Firefox browser, I got a message I've never seen, before: "You are using an old version of Firefox which Gmail no longer supports. Some features may not work correctly. Upgrade to new version." I clicked on upgrade to a new version and was taken to the Mozilla site, where I downloaded the latest version of Firefox... then, when I restarted my computer, Gmail still gives me the same message!! What's going on?

    Firefox 4 and later require at least OS X 10.5 and a Mac with an Intel processor.

  • I recently upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.2 and Aperture 2.1.4 will no longer open.  I cannot access my photos and I don't want to pay for latest version of Aperture since this application is no longer going to be supported.  How can I get my pictures?

    I recently upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.2 and Aperture 2.1.4 will no longer open.  I cannot access my photos and I don't want to pay for latest version of Aperture since this application is no longer going to be supported.  How can I get my pictures?

    If you want just the originals, then you can go into the Aperture library (right click on it and do "show package contents"). Inside is a directory called "Masters" and you can find the original files in a bunch of subfolders.
    But... you'll lose all adjustments, keywords, and other information, and just have the files as they were imported originally from the cameras.
    Easiest is probably to buy Aperture and update everything, and then migrate to the Photos application down the road if that's what you want. Aperture 3.0 came out in 2010 (five years ago!) so it's not like you've upgraded in a while

  • Pop up window says need to upgrade to newer version to work on document from the cloud. go to app store and it says already installed...help

    pop up window says need to upgrade to newer version to work on document from the cloud. go to app store and it says already installed...help. Am trying to work on document from office computer at home on laptop.
    This is what the pop up says:
    You need a newer version of Numbers to open this spreadsheet.
    You can download the latest version of Numbers from the Mac App Store.
    Thanks,

    WS,
    At first, it can be difficult to determine which version of Numbers you are using. The user interfaces are different, but if you are new to the apps you may think you are using the new version when if fact you have launched the older version. Make sure you are using Version 3.x. Then you won't get the message that you need a newer version.
    Use Spotlight to launch Numbers. After typing Numbers into the search field, pick the result that says "Numbers -- Applications".

    If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
    * Firefox 7.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install

    Recently downloaded a trial version of CC and when trying to use the Adjustment Brush in ACR it brings up the message 'All the local adjustment controls are set to have no effect on the image'. I've downloaded this as an update to CS5 on my new i Mac. Would appreciate suggestions to remedy this. Rhonda

    I think it means "the sliders are all 0 so painting adjustments with this brush won't change anything."  In other words, move one of the sliders to a non-zero position, for example Exposure from 0 to 1.0, and then see what happens.  You can edit the brush and change it to do something other than Exposure +1.

  • I recently upgrade my mac air to maverick and now my version of iphoto won't work.  What can I do??

    I recently upgrade my mac air to maverick and now my version of iphoto won't work.  What can I do??

    This screenshot shows which previous versions of iPhoto are compatible with Mavericks.  It also indicates which versions qualify for a free upgrade to iPhoto 9.5.1 and which require a purchase:
    Note 1:  every day more users are reporting problems with iPhoto 8.1.2 so I've included it in the non compatible category.
    Note 2:  If your previous version of iPhoto was iPhoto 7 (08) or earlier you'll need to download and run the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 application on the library before opening it with iPhoto 9.5.1
