Siteformathelper keeps trying to install. It comes from firefox.exe. What is it?
About every five minutes or so, I get a popup window asking to install siteformathelper from Site Tools, Inc. Does anyone know what this is and what it does and if it is safe?
SiteFormatHelper is a Java component. "''Site Tools, Inc.''" in relation to it does not make sense. Re-installing Java could possibly fix the issue. See [[Using the Java plugin with Firefox]].

IOS 4.3.2You should only make purchases for all your devices using a single Apple ID. There is no need, and indeed a good reason not to, set up a new Apple ID with each new device purchase. While items purchased under different IDs can be played on a single device, you cannot merge Apple IDs and it makes it cumbersome.
Apple IDs do not expire but may become dormant and require reactivation if they are not actively used.
You should make note of your Apple ID and passwords and keep a record of it. Like a bank account it contains access to items with value. Update your Apple ID email address as they change.
I see you were guided to this forum by a help page on recovering your password. If that is not sufficient try the links below. Apple will need to verify you are indeed to owner of the accounts to which you are trying to gain access.

Keep trying to install update for itunes and keep getting 'invalid signature'
keep trying to install the new updates for itunes and keep getting 'invalid signature' and it won't download
That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer? -
I have an iMac that I am running OSX 10.8.3 on. I keep trying to install 10.8.4 but it will not install. I tried updating and installing several times and it restarts the computer but it will not install the software. My machine is about 8 months old so, it's in the newish range. HELP!
Sometimes the App Store version doesn't work correctly. In this case, install 10.8.4 with the Combo version > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1659?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
The Combo installer is the safest way to update OS X, and it allows you to update more than one computer with a single download -

Sending by Dropbox where, To who, to what computer? As your does not start up.
You need to take at least the OS disc to a work Mac computer and create DMG from the OS install disc then restore that DMG to USB thumb drive. Then you can boot the computer from that thumb drive and install the OS. That is if your hard drive is functioning correctly.
Then you can use the App disc in the external CD/DVD drive to load up all the included Applications that come with your version of OS X. -

Rasco1 it sounds like your managed network needs to be configured to allow you to download successfully. You can find more details in Error downloading Creative Cloud applications - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/error-downloading-cc-apps.html.

I keep trying to install the latest version of firefox and it's not working
I'm running firefox 3.something, I think, and I keep trying to install the latest version on my mac. I go through saving it, opening it, dragging the icon to my apps file...and when I drag it to my apps file it takes a few seconds to do *something*, pings at me and then...nothing after that. I try to open it and it tells me I have to close firefox first, so I do (restart even) and when it opens again it still opens the old version.
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 8.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
*Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
*Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

OS X has failed to install on my macbook pro and now it keeps trying to install when the computer restarts and I cannot get back to how it was and ditch the upgrade! Can you tell me how to do this please?
If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main screen.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
*The linked support article refers to OS X 10.9 ("Mavericks"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later. -
Send To Handheld keeps trying to install an invalid file.
I made the mistake of trying to use Send To Handheld to install a .wmv file. It gave me an error message saying that I don't have an application that is compatible with this file on my Palm. OK. I can't install that file on my Palm. However, it keep trying to install this file every time I sync my Palm. I have deleted the file from my computer and Send To Handheld still keeps trying to install the file. Each time I get the same error message. So, how do I get Send To Handheld to stop trying to install that file?
Post relates to: Tungsten E2Unfortunately, no, I have not found a solution to this problem other than to make sure that the SD memory card is not in the memory slot when I sync. The installer is trying to install to that. So, if it is not available, it skips the attempt to install the incompatible file an syncs everything else.
It is really annoying that I can't find some other solution. One would think that the people who wrote these programs would know that some idiot would try to install an incompatible file with them and write in protections against that and/or a way to take the incompatible file out of the installation list. Back when I had to take a computer programing class in college, that was one of the things that they emphasized, idiot proofing our programs. The lab tutors were specifically told to try to crash our programs and if they succeeded, then we had to back and fix it so that it would happen again. It seems as if the people who wrote this program did not learn this lesson, as attempting to install an incompatible file is a fairly obvious potential error that should have been addressed. -
My creative Cloud keeps trying to install the same update
Dear Forum,
My creative Cloud keeps trying to install the same update and never completes. I have rebooted my windows 8.1 and same occurs. All other updates are fine so just creative cloud. am I able to manually uninstall just the creative cloud on its own without effecting my acrobat pro and FormsCentral etc? If so where can I download the latest creative cloud?

Roxio keeps trying to install, have searched forums for answer, need help
Hello,
About a month ago I bought an 8300 series Curve. That night I tried installing Desktop Manager with Roxio, had lots of problems, read the forums, and decided against using Roxio. I unintalled everything (so I thought), and reinstalled Desktop Manager without Roxio. Everything was fine until this week. The computer was on but not used for a couple days while I was out of town: upon my return I saw that Roxio was trying to install itself again. I'm assuming an update was pushed out. Now, I can't get rid of it. I have uninstalled Blackberry Desktop software. I have deleted everything from my computer that has 'Roxio' or 'Sonic' in its name. I have run my registry tools in System Mechanic Professional. It still keeps trying to install. I even tried system restore. I disabled Windows Installer in msconfig, now it just keeps popping the installer window up and closing it. I can't download and install the Microsft Installer Cleanup utility mentioned on some forums because either a) I have disabled my installer, or b) when the installer is enabled, I get an error message telling me that another installation (aka the Roxio installation) is already in progress.
Surely, there must be some line in some code somewhere that I can get to and change so I can stop this thing from triggering Roxio to install. And, how do I clean it off and ban Roxio from ever trying to install anything on my system again? It's literally like some kind of virus.
Thanks.This is an addendum to my previous post:
I somehow was able to sneak in an install of the Microsoft Installer Cleanup utility. But when I went to run it, Roxio or anything related was not listed at all. So, that was not a good solution.
I tediously went through the entire registry and deleted all references to Roxio. I re-enabled my Windows Installer. Now, something keeps trying to install, but never references Roxio anymore. The Windows Installer window pops up, then disappears. This happens in spurts now: the window pops up about 3 to 5 times, then stops popping up for a minute or two, then starts again. There's obviously one more registry reference that doesn't have 'Roxio' in the name. If anyone knows it and can point me to it, I'd be grateful.
In the meantime, I now have to figure out how to fix the resolution on my monitor. Obviously deleting some Roxio shared thing affected that, and I can't seem to find the right settings again. I feel like suing Roxio for the time I wasted today! -
Bing Bar 7.0 (KB2626804) Keeps trying to install itself on my HP and Fails.
Hello, I have upgraded my system to Windows 10 Pro, and ever since it has been trying to install the Bing Bar 7.0 and failing. I dont need it. Dont have it. Didnt have it on my Windows 7 Pro. So I have no idea why it is trying to install it on my system. I have looked everywhere on my computer, and it is not in the programs to be installed. I have even looked in all of my browsers, to make sure that it wasn't hidden in any of those. It isnt. So I did a DxDiag on my system to see what it had to say, and when it uploads and fails, the Diagnosis says: +++ WER2 +++:

I have installed the most recent version of Snow Leopard on my MAC, and I am trying to install Mountain Lion from the Apple Store. It will not install, because it says I do not have 2GB of memory, even though I have over 200GB available. Please help.
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
One thing is the memory, and another thing is the hard disk space. You are telling me that you have 200 GB of free space on the hard disk, but the App Store is telling you that you have to install 2 GB of memory or more on your Mac if you want to upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion.
First of all, open > About this Mac > More Info, and copy "Model Identifier" here, so we can know what Mac you have got and how much memory you can install.
We recommend to buy the memory in OWC or Crucial (Crucial is cheaper and offers the same compatibility warranty as OWC) because you won't probably have any problem with the memory you buy there
