[Solved] Installing an add-on on an old version of firefox updates the version

I'm trying to debug a web-page that doesn't seem to work in FF4. I had FF5 installed on my machine. I downloaded and installed FF4.0.1, in a different directory than FF5, created a new "FF4" profile using the profile manager, and from the FF4 install directory ran "firefox.exe -P FF4 -no-remote".
The browser window that came up had the "welcome to firefox" stuff, and the "About" menu said 4.0.1, so I thought I was fine.
Then I went to install the DOM inspector. It ran OK, but after the reset it said "Your Firefox has been updated", and I was running FF5.
Even when I go into the FF4 installation directory, and run "firefox.exe -P FF4 -no-remote", I still get FF5.
How do I install add-ons in FF4 without having the process move my FF forward to FF5?

Like it is so often, the answer is simple.
Go into the Firefox options, and turn off auto-update.

I assume the podcasts you have are the mp3 or other audio files rather than a podcast feed in iTues or another rss reader? You can simply drag the audio files into iTunes, though they will appear in the 'Music' list since iTunes has know way of knowing that they come from a podcast.
You can change the 'Media Kind' in the get Info pane (menu File>Get Info>Options pane) to 'Podcast' but each file will appear as a podcast with no title, containing the single episode.

Hi Balzer1313,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you have an older version of iTunes installed on your computer, you can update it using this menu option:
Windows: Choose Help > Check for Updates.
Mac: Choose iTunes > Check for Updates.

I have an iPad that I want to update to IOS 5.1. I have several apps that each were installed using a different iTunes ID. How can I update the IOS without losing the apps?

To update your phone requires using the latest version of iTunes, on your computer, as well as Internet access. The update to iOS 5.0 or higher is an erase/restore deal, so you not only have to make sure all of the content, currently on your phone, is on your computer and accessible, you need to update iTunes first, have Internet access, then update your phone. There is no way around this fact. You could go to an Apple store or use another computer, but you run the risk of losing all of your data it you do that.

Unable to install iTunes 8 or to uninstall old version of iTunes

I have an old version of iTunes (more than two years) and wish to install iTunes 8. However, I am neiher able to install the latest version of iTunes or uninstall the old one. When I try the windows uninstall program, I get the error message that the path to AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi cannot be found. It appears the update has not taken effect, but I cannot find the above update file to do that. Thoughts much apprecitated.

I've found it !
The answer is here : http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1838835&tstart=15
Install the Windows Installer Cleanup tool and remove the entries for :
. Apple Software Update
. Bonjour
. Quicktime
. iTunes
Then, the installation program will work correctly !
1 day lost for that.
Thansk Mr Apple to fix your installation procedure ! It is too much fragile !
and remember that temporary directories are made to be cleaned up !

How can I update my old flows, when I update the flowchart

I updated my flowchart and my old flows was not updated but I need to update the old Itemkeys, how can I do it.
Thanks
Paulo H.

Paulo,
Oracle Workflow versions every workflow process launched. Each time a workflow definition is changed, only new workflow processes will start using the latest definition. Existing workflow processes will continue to use the definition created when the process was started.
In other words, If a process is running, Oracle Workflow uses the version of the activity that was in effect when the process was initiated. It does not switch versions of the activity mid-way through the process.
Cheers,
Raja

Can't install Adobe Flashplayer 11. Uninstalled old version. enabled Java. Allowed cookies. Install button grey.

Can anyone help me with this problem of installing Adobe Flashdrive 11, the latest version ? I'm bashing my head against the wall. Started when iPhoto would not load to Facebook and was advised it could be Flashplayer update after troubleshooting other options including deleting extraneous iPhoto files. I uninstalled older version, enabled Java, allowed cookies, downloaded installer but when I try to download it, the install button is grey and won't work. (This is, coindcidentally the same problem that suddenly began today with iPhoto which always worked fine before....grey button for "publish") It is ALWAYS a problem installing Adobe anything, and usually this same problem. All my software updates are current. Now I have NO Flashplayer and can't use YouTube at all, much less iPhoto.

Also, sounds like others are having this problem. Read other posts, didn't find an answer. OBVIOUSLY did not solve my problem. No delete ? First time here, sorry.

My itunes wont install it says error, and my old version wont work with my iphone, it pops up with a message asking if i trust this computer and when i click yes it comes up again and again

Help!

Hi HelpAimee!
It sounds like you may need to uninstall your version of iTunes and then reinstall the newest version:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
There are certain components of iTunes that need to be uninstalled in order, so make sure you follow the uninstall steps in the above article. You can then visit the following link to get the latest version of iTunes and install it:

HT1651 I can no longer add new music to my itunes account or update the software on my macbook b/c there's not enough hard disk space. What do I do?

HELP!!! What do I need to do? New hard drive, more memory, external hard drive? I would like to transfer my itunes library to an external hard drive to free up space and continue to add to itunes, but if I transfer my current library do I lose it next time I sync my ipod?
Jen

No, you can copy your music folder to an external hard drive. Once you have moved it, launch iTunes while holding down the option key on your keyboard. A dialog box will come up asking you where the library is that you want to use. Select the library on your external hard drive.
Once you have confirmed that this works, you can delete the iTunes library on your internal hard drive. Remember to empty the Trash after you put the folder in there.
Note that if you disconnect your MacBook from the external hard drive (a possibility - it is a portable computer after all) you will not have access to that music.
Syncing your iPod should go as normal.
Best of luck.

When I click to install Firefox update the progress bar just keeps on going without ever connecting.

Most every time I start Firefox (the past few weeks) I get a message that there is an update available and "It is strongly recommended that you apply this update as soon as possible". In the same window there is a link to "more information about this update". The link doesn't work. When I click on install a window titled "Downloading Firefox" opens reporting "connecting to the update server...". The progress bar just keeps going and going without ever connecting.

If you have 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 DMG file to the desktop
* Firefox 5.0.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.

In synk, when I click "add device" instead of opening a window to enter the codes, it opens another firefox window and takes me to the help page for synk. [SOLVED]

I got a new laptop today and after downloading firefox I tried to use the synk feature and it says I have to add device on my old computer. In following the directions I never get to the screen to enter the codes from my new computer onto the old one. When I click add device on the old computer it takes me to the help page on the web with the same directions that took me there in the first place! So, how am I supposed to synk my new computer if I can't add device on the old or simply log in to my synk account on the new?

Ok, I figured it out, I clicked "i don't have device available" and it let me log in to my account.

[solved] INSTALL EXTENSIONS/AAD ONS INTO A NEW PROFIOLE USING A WAY LIKE dpkg --get-selections /backup/installed-EXTENSIONS.log

HERE AN EXAMPLE https://wiki.debian.org/ListInstalledPackages
BASICALLY I'D LIKE TO SAVE A LIST OF ALL MY INSTALLED EXTENSIONS/ADD ONS AND USING A COMMAND LIKE 'FIREFOX --PROFILEMANAGER --INSTALL ADDONS-FROM-LIST PATH/OF/THE/LIST
I'M USING A PROFILE THAT HAS PROBABLY MORE THAN TEN YEARS AND MY FIREFOX IS BECOME SLOW BUT I DONT LIKE TO INSTALL EACH EXTENSIOM BY HAND.
I AM SURE THAT WITH A FUNCTION LIKE THIS MANY PEOPLE WILL CAN GET THE BEST FROM FIREFOX PERFORMANCE AND STABILITY JUST SAVING A LLIST, REMOVE ALL SETTINGS CACHE ECC AND THEN START A CLEAN INSTALL IMPORTING THA ADDONS AUTOMATICALLY. I HOPE THAT YOU WILL CONSIDERATE THIS IDEA. TAHNKS FOR READING, PAOLO

If you're thinking that a feature like that should be built into Firefox, please provide feedback here: https://input.mozilla.org/en-US/feedback
As far as that idea overall, have you investigated what might be available now? Or at least something similar?

Serious problem with old versions of sub-vi's installing on application upload

Hi
I am having a series problem which is proving wildly frustrating.
I have recompiled an application but when I upload it on the host computers the host computers seem to upload old versions of the code even though they have been deleted.
I smell a Windows Cache problem but can't see how to get round it.
Anybody have any ideas. If not should I shoot myself before or after I get fired?
Either way help appreciated
Ash

Hi Ashley,
I've been compiling and deploying LabVIEW applications for a long time, and never seen a windows-cach problem!
Here are a few (of my) mistakes that resulted in execution of old code:
Forgetting to update the Top-level VI in the .bld, after the top-level VI's location changed.
Compiling to a different location than the one I copied the "new" EXE from.
Compiling with Installer option, then switching-off Installer option (for faster compiles), then, post compile, instead of copying new EXE - doing an Install and installing old EXE!
After copying or installing new EXE to host, forgetting to update menu-options and "shortcuts" - which still point to old EXE.
Some ideas:
Write a new/unique version# to the Main VI's Window Title (VI properties), so you can tell quickly which version is running.
After compiling, pay close attention to the creation time of the "new" EXE to be sure it is new.
After copying or installing, launch the new EXE by double-clicking on it (don't trust existing shortcuts.)
Cheers!

Unable to remove old version of iTunes

no "remove" option, in the control panel for itunes, downloaded new itunes, can't install it. message said
"cannot remove old version, contact technical support group".
i give up.
anyone know about this???

First, head into your Add/Remove programs and uninstall your QuickTime. If it goes, good. If it doesn't, we'll just attend to it when we attend to iTunes.
Next, download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility:
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
Now launch Windows Installer CleanUp ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"), find any iTunes and/or QuickTime entries in the list of programs in CleanUp, select those entries, and click “remove”.
Next, we'll manually remove any leftover iTunes or QuickTime program files:
(1) Open Local Disk (C:) in Computer or whichever disk programs are installed on.
(2) Open the Program Files folder.
(3) Right-click the iTunes folder and select Delete and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion.
(4) Right-click the QuickTime folder and select Delete and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion. (Note: This folder may have already been deleted if QuickTime was successfully removed using Add/Remove Programs earlier.)
(5) Delete the QuickTime and QuicktimeVR files located in the C:\Windows\system32\ folder. Click Continue if Windows needs confirmation or permission to continue. (Note: These files may have already been deleted if QuickTime was successfully removed using Add/Remove Programs earlier.)
(6) Right-click on the Recycle Bin and on the shortcut menu, click Empty Recycle Bin.
(7) Restart your computer.
Now try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly now?
(thank you very much, {b nior})
