Since upgrading to Lion OS, Firefox (6.0.2) will not allow the print option in Preview (5.5) for PDFs. The Rainbow wheel turns until I eventually force close.

I cannot print wirelessly to printer or to Evernote, etc. Print option will not work. If I use Safari, the PDF will print.

Most likely culprits are one of these:
com.vmware.kext.vmnet          0073.02.98
com.vmware.kext.vmioplug          0073.02.98
com.vmware.kext.vsockets          90.1.5
com.vmware.kext.vmci          90.1.1
Boot into safe mode, put the machine to sleep, wait about 10 minutes, wake it, and see if the issue persists. If not, dump vmware, restart normally, and repeat the sleep/wake steps.

Since upgrading to Lion I have Quicktime problems, it will not let me export files to iTunes, it is telling me file maybe damaged this is with wmv and quicktime formats, I also have problems with quicktime freezing and no sound on some files

Anyone got any ideas?

OK, I did as you suggested, the first step didn't seem to do anything, I selected to download it said immediatly "thankyou for downloading" but didn't ask permission as normal downloads do and it was also instantanious, no download time waited.
So I went onto the second step, downloaded and ran the free trial, showed lots of errors as I'd expect something selling a service to do. I have no idea what the registry does but am wary not to mess with it as if its damaged it makes things very very difficult. I don't know what to do with the results on that one. The messages all seem the same:
The Default Value in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/App paths/Your App exe contains an invalid path...etc and then goes on to specify a file or someters and numbers and semi colons. There are 388 like this. Again, I have no idea what to do with that information or how essential a registry clean is. About 5 years ago I had a Sony Ericsson mobile which would not transfer pictures to my computer. I called Sony up and they did a registry clean for me. It did nothing, I was still unable to transfer pictures and made a mental not to never ever get another Sony Ericsson handset. I can't help feeling a sense od deja-vu with this so am reluctant to do anything to the registry unless someone is there to pick up the peices on the other end as I can't just afford to go out purchase another computer hard drive.
Then I went back, re-downloaded the itunes again, this time it did actually try to download something.
I got an error message:
Error writing to file: C:/Config.Msi\2b8263.rbf. Verify that you have access to that directory
To which I said I did and to "retry"
It seemed to download fine! I have no idea what was different this time. Nothing I did was any different other then going from your link rather then the pop-up link I normally get. Maybe its just better to use a different link?
Thanks again!

Ever since upgrading to OS 10.9.5 Lightroom 5 will not launch. I even reinstalled it and it didn't help. Any suggestions?

Ever since upgrading to OS 10.9.5 Lightroom 5 will not launch. I even reinstalled it and it didn't help. Any suggestions?

Hmmm. You've tried normal reboot etc., I assume. Repaired permissions? Trashed the app before reinstalling? Is this a CC version or perpetual license? All other apps are opening ok? Trashed Lightroom's preferences? How do I delete the Lightroom Preferences file? - The Lightroom Queen Help Desk & Members Area - Powered by Kayako Resol…

Trying to upgrade to Lion from Snow Leopard but it will not let me purchase the upgrade telling me my intel imac is not compatible?

HELP!
I have a fully functioning imac running snow leopard fine (recently upgraded to it) because of flash and java issues on browsers seemed I needed to get on to Lion or Mountain Lion so I upgraded the RAM to 2.5GB and now it will not let me upgrade maybe because my model seems to be a late 2006 and not a 2007 imac, cannot understand why it will not let me do this or provide a solution for me to upgrade what I need? Can anybody help, assist or advise?

Also it says this:
L2 Cache:          4 MB

Firefox 15.0.1 will not allow me to type in the data boxes such as the one I am using now. I am contacting you with Microsoft Internet Explorer.

I just upgraded to 15.0.1. Firefox will not let me type in data in data boxes such as a dictionary lookup or even the question box within the Firefox Help. The box usually comes up with the type of sinformation needed within the box, such as "word lookup" but I cannot type over the words, delete them, erase them. The box will not allow data input.

Totally unrelated to my problem with Firefox I got hit with a virus/malware problem which my virus protection failed to catch/stop. I was forced to go to safe mode in Windows and restore my system to a few hours earlier. That got me back to Firefox 14 and there are no issues with Firefox 14 with me entering data as there is in Firefox 15. I am ignoring Firefox's offer to upgrade for a while as I cannot believe that I would be the only one with the issue I described in Firefox 15. Thank you both for your input on how to correct the problem. I will try them out if I find the same problem later on when I "upgrade" to Firefox 15.

Just upgraded my OS10.4 to snow lepard and now itunes will not open. I hope to further upgrade to Lion. Ps my address book will not open either!

operate or open, also my address book will not open. Am hoping to upgraded further to lion asap.

Office 2011 will install in a separate folder. But do not install Office 2011 until you remove Office 2004. It comes with its own uninstalled located in the MS Office folder. Only use the uninstaller to get rid of it. Then install Office 2011.
Office 2004 and Other Applications Don't Work in Lion/Mountain Lion
If you have Office 2004 which is a PPC-only suite, it will not work in Lion/Mountain Lion. You need to upgrade to Office 2011 - Mactopia - or you can try the freeware suite, Libre Office, that is functionally similar to Office 2007 for Windows except it works on Lion/Mountain Lion.
You may want to consider as well:
These two suites are similar to Libre Office but not as current or as well-supported:
NeoOffice
Open Office
And, then there is Apple's iWork suite:
Pages - word processing and layout
Keynote - presentation
Numbers - spreadsheet
Each can open and save Office compatible files. They may be purchased separately via the Mac App Store for $19.99 each.
As for other software, any PPC-based software will not run in Lion or Mountain Lion because Rosetta is no longer part of OS X. You will need to upgrade to Intel versions of the software.
(Access to the Mac App Store requires Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or higher and an Apple ID.)

Firefox will not allow page printing since today's update. Why? I can still print from Thunderbird and I.E.

I think I received a Firefox up date today. Now when I try to print from any page on the browser I get a blank page. Thinking I was having a computer problem I reluctantly booted Internet Explorer. No problem printing. I went to Thunderbird and have not trouble printing any of my emails, so I think the problem is in Firefox. I have been a Firefox user for years and never had this problem. I am running Win XP

You're welcome. I look forward to the day that Mozilla writes all new print-related code so we don't have to deal with problems like this.

Firefox 3.6.6 will not allow Windows 7 to log off or shut down

I have a HP DV6 laptop (32 bit) with Windows 7. Firefox 3.6.6. seems to work well but the computer became slow and unresponsive and it will not log off, shut down or restart unless in safe mode. I uninstalled FF 3.6.6. and Adobe Flash 10 and now it works fine. On my Compaq Desktop (64 bit) with Windows 7, FF 3.6.6. and Adobe Flash work just fine.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I upgraded to FF 3.6.6 and Adobe Flash 10 ==
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/4.0; GTB6.5; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0; OfficeLiveConnector.1.5; OfficeLivePatch.1.3; .NET4.0C)

I had same problem where Firefox 3.6.8 would not start or open. Spent many hours trying different things to fix it. Uninstall of previous version and reinstall did not make any difference. Finally, after uninstalling Firefox, I searched for Firefox folders and files on my computer, deleted and removed all Firefox folders and files - deleted anything and everything related to Firefox so that it will be as if I was going to download Firefox for the first time ever. Then, using another browser, I downloaded Firefox 3.6.8 and installed it. It could be that some Add-Ons or something else from the older version of Firefox or profile was interfering with the new one. It was easier to delete remove everything and install all over again clean than to figure out which part was causing the problem.
Keep in mind, when you delete all Firefox folders and files from your computer, you are deleting all your bookmarks and all your Add-ons. If you want to keep those bookmarks, you might want to save the URLs someplace safe to bookmark them again before deleting them. You need to re-install the Add-ons also. Upon installation, it asks if you want to import bookmarks and settings from another browser or settings you might have. I imported them from my other browser. Now, Firefox works. I also installed up-to-date Add-ons.
I hope this helps. Always keep more than one browser functioning on your computer, just in case one fails.

Firefox 5.0.1 will not allow me to upload any files. I receive an error message, though I know the files are vaild.

Firefox 5.0.1 for Mac OS 10.6.8 is not allowing me to upload attachments. I get a pink band with the message "Files with errors will not be uploaded". When I click on the View Error link, it tells me "This file couldn't be added because it appears to be empty (0 bytes). " These are valid jpeg files that I have attached many times before, so I know there is no problem with the file. Also, Firefox has recently given me an error message about restarting in 32-bit mode to accommodate a plug-in. I have ticked the '32-bit" option in the Get Info window of the Firefox application.

I have been unable to drag and drop large files, even onto the Desktop, let alone onto my NAS - I get the dragged files freezing in the middle of the screen or I get the 'unable to copy / file in use' error.
Talking to Apple Support, they had me set up a new User, and then within that new account, the trouble went away. This pointed to the StartUp items being run in the original troublesome account,
I have deleted all of my 3rd Party programs and then installed them one by one until the problem came back, and in my case (Macbook Air 5,2 running 10.10.3 Yosemite) I found it was DropBox causing the conflict. I have DropBox running in the Menu Bar (top of screen) and disabling sync (bottom left corner) stopped the file copy problem. Try disabling DropBox sync is file copying is failing?

Firefox on my laptop will not allow me to open multiple tabs, how can I fix this issue?

I usually use firefox and yesterday was downloading a photoshop program called gimp. all of a sudden after downloading it, firefox stops allowing me to open multiple tabs. I click on file and new tab, but it still will not work.

The Ask Toolbar is causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13+ versions. Uninstall that extension.
There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
* Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
* Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

Firefox comes up and will not allow me to click between tabs.

It started with Netflix. I can access Netflix and play movies etc. I cannot click on the search area. I till not allow me to type in there. then I realized that I can not click the tabs on the website itself to access the three pages I have up. Any ideas?

Since upgrading to Lion OSX Firefox won't download statements or pdfs?

When trying to download end of month statements from Orange or Skype the download is not permitted with a message saying try saving it somewhere else? So i opened everything in Safari and it was OK, but want to work with Firefox as I prefer the tab system and all my saved bookmarks etc. Can anyone suggest a fix? I have latest version of Firefox apparently 7.0.1
Thanks, Sarah

Hi FengShuiSarah-
You might want to check your Options. You can modify how Firefox deals with pdf's and other file types. Here is an article on the [[Options window - Applications panel]].

Safari works great on my iMac, but not so well on my Macbook Pro since upgrading to Lion. I get a message that I am not connected to the internet when I try to open a webpage even though the wireless icon at the top of my screen shows I am connected.

Since upgrading to Lion I am having problems with Safari on my Macbook Pro. I am using wifi to access the internet and the internet works in all other application except for Safari. When I try to access a webpage most times I get a error message saying I am not connected to the internet. If I click on diagnose the problem, I get connect again to the internet through the diagnostic process and the webpage generally works. This is not a problem when wired to the internet.

Check your network settings, in particular the advanced setting "DNS Server". If it is by chance 127.0.0.1, make sure to change is and use a know DNS Server (from Google for example, or your own Router local address).
