Since downloading Firefox 5.0, my CD drive no longer works can you tell me why? why ?
The drive is listed in my computer but I can't open it. The Auto Play function doesn't open it when a disk is inserted.
When I look in the control panel/device manager and click on the
listed device it tells me that the device is working properly. I can't read or write to it however. I have a Dell computer with a SONY DV+-RW Aw -Q160s SCSi CdRom Device. Running Windows Vista
It seems your Mozilla installation is broken. Try the following steps to fully uninstall Mozilla Firefox:
1. Uninstall Firefox as you would normally do.
2. Open a command prompt as administrator.
3. By using the cd and rd command, remove Firefox AppData and Roaming folders, for example:
C:\Users\USERNAME> cd AppData
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData> cd Local
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local> cd Mozilla
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Mozilla> rd /s Firefox
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Mozilla\*.* - Are you sure? (y/n) y
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Mozilla> cd ..
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local> cd ..
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\> cd Roaming
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming> cd Mozilla
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla> rd /s Firefox
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\*.* - Are you sure (y/n) y
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla > exit
Remember to press Enter each time.
4. After that, open a hard disk clean-up tool (such as CCleaner or Windows built-in) and remove all temporary files from your computer.
5. Restart your computer. Download '''again''' the Firefox package from [http://www.mozilla.org/es-ES/download/?product=firefox-14.0.1&os=win&lang=es-ES Mozilla official servers] and try to install Firefox. If the problem persists maybe your computer has a problem or is infected with viruses.
About the Scrapbook add-on, I could get it to work. It has no icon when docked to the toolbar, but you can anyway open it. Right-click a button on the toolbar, click Customize... find the Scrapbook icon, drag it to the bookmarks bar so you can see the icon and click on it to open it. Whenever you need to save a page, right-click that page and choose Save page.

Like i said before, I used to be connected with firefox. I had problems with my local carrier-charter- one day and they did something and every since then, I am unable to download or use firefox. When I try it says "proxy server is refusing connections. Can you please help with this so I am able to use firefox. Thanks
In Firefox 3.6.4 and later the default connection settings have been changed to "Use the system proxy settings".
You can find the connection settings in Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection
If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select "No Proxy"
See "Firefox connection settings":

Since downloading Safari 5.1 Google search engine no longer works
Hello,
For the past few weeks I was having issues with Google as I kept receiving a "slow script" error. In trying to fix this problem I downloaded the latest version of Safari (5.1) from the Apple website to see if this helped. This seems to have made things worse as now Google won't work at all on Safari.
I seem to be able to open all other websites with no issues. Does anyone have any ideas as to what is causing this?
I'm running a macbook with Snow leopard V 10.6.8.
My IT skills are pretty poor so assume I don't know anything
Cheers,
ErynFrom your Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
Select: Show Develop menu in menu bar
From the menu bar again click Develop / Disable Runaway JavaScript Timer
Now go to Safari / Preferences again then select the Security tab.
Click: Show Cookies
Delete all Google cookies.
Quit then relaunch Safari. See if that helped. -
Windows 7 64-bit
Firefox v. 6.0.2
Norton 360 v.5Firefox has a status panel that shows you what is happening during page loading, and also shows the destinations of links when you mouse over them. The status bar showed that as well. You really do not lose that information. I found that I like the addons bar better than the status bar because I could put more buttons on it.

After downloading Firefox 4, I am unable to access iTunes. Can you help?
After clicking on the icon, it finally gives the following, "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the problem. Do you wish to send an error message?" I have sent many error messages, but no other response from Microsoft.
tThe best place to start with that one is with the following document:
iTunes for Windows: "Disk is locked" or "iTunes folder cannot be found" when installing or opening iTunes
… but if you run into the complication where “My Music” doesn’t appear as an option in TweakUI, perhaps try the alternate procedure from the following Nigel Carpenter post:

I had tried both. Actually, what I did to resolve this was to uninstall ADE version 3 and re-install version 2. Not sure if it was the uninstall and reinstall or the version but, it is now working. Thanks for your respone!

Since downloading Firefox 4, I am having problems archiving gmail conversations from my inbox view (either one or several conversations) as it says "No Conversations Selected" when I have selected one or several. Also, when I go to enter a new event in google calendar, I have to click the cursor in the box to type the event (it used to let me just start typing) or else it flips out and starts jumping to day view or another month. Does anyone know how to fix either of these?
I have had this problem; but while trying to fix another problem, I reset my preferences for Firefox and it fixed this problem as well. To reset preferences, follow this link: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Resetting%20preferences

Since I downloaded Firefox 5 I cannot get the links to work for accepting or receiving gifts for Farmville & Frontiersville, what can I do. When a request is posted on my FB page and I click on it to send or receive a gift it just shows that its "connecting" and sits there for several minutes then only sometimes actually goes to the gift. How can I fix it. My other computer that is still on firefox 4 does not have this problem.
Hello AKBOB, if exist a problem with update or permissions then the better way is to '''download and install the new version'''.
1. Download a copy of the latest firefox from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
2. '''Trash''' the current Firefox application to do a clean install.
3. Install the version that you have downloaded.
Do not select to remove your personal data, your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks or other personal data.

When I click on "attach file" or "upload file" I always get a message...."Firefox is not responding". Then I have to close the program and open Internet Explorer. I would prefer using Firefox,can you tell me how to fix this problem?
I uninstalled Firefox, deleted all data, reinstalled and still have the same problem. I guess I'll go back to Internet Explorer.

Since downloading ios7 onto my iphone 4, I no longer receive text (or game) notifications. I do if my phone is in use, but not when the screen is dark and the phone is idle. If I click the top button to activate the phone, a text will be present on the screen before I unlock it, but there will have been no visual (screen activating with text in view) or auditory (text chime) alert. Has anybody else experienced this problem? If so, how did you resolve it?
I feel like such an idiot. I just figured out that when exploring the new control panel, I accidentally turned the Do Not Disturb function on. I've turned it off and all is well again.

I bought my little brother an iPod touch 2nd generation for Xmas so we could text since we love states away but it won't verify and complete updating so I can download the texting apps required by iOS 4 or later can someone tell me how to update it please
What exactly happens when you try to update the iPod? What does the error message say?
Also, are you sure yo have a 2G iPod?
See:
Identifying iPod models
I ask since a 1G can only go to iOS 2.x via iTunes and highest is 3.1.3 via

How do I re-download podcasts? My external hard drive failed and I can't figure out how to download them again in the updated iTunes.
The Time Capsule drive is a network drive. You have to mount it on the desktop before you will be able to drag/drop files onto the disk. More tips are in this thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/17312017#17312017
.....and then delete them from the Mac to free up space?
The Time Capsule was designed for your backups.
If you move a file to the Time Capsule drive and delete the file from your Mac.....you have no backup.
Your only copy of the file will be on the Time Capsule drive. I would only do this with files that I could afford to lose.
All drives fail. When.....not if....the Time Capsule drive has a problem, you will lose your data.
