The new upgrade to Firefox 4.0 has rendered the browser useless. Even older versions will no longer open. How do I get any version of Firefox to load again?

When I upgraded to Firefox 4.0 I continually got error messages but the browser would still work when I cleared them. After the upgrade April 29 the browser worked until the computer was shut down.Next day it won't load.I tried to install older versions but they just get automatically "upgraded".This is from my laptop which I did not upgrade to 4.0 after my desktop issues.The error message I get when I try to load the browser is above.

Do a clean (re-)install:
* Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Do not remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
* 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 (not in the Firefox program 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.

Getting error message : the item Itunes.exe that this shortcut refers to has been changed or moved so this shortcut will no longer work properly. I get this either using the start menu or the desktop shortcut. I tried going to programs /itunes and repair.

Getting the error message:
the item Itunes.exe that this shortcut referes to has been moved or changed so this shortcut will no longer work properly.
I tried going into the control panel/programs /itunes and selected repair which didn't fix it. Any suggestions on restoring the broken shortcut without removing and re-installing the program?
Running windows 7 home premium SP1
Thank you

I think it is some sort of permissions issue preventing the installer from updating the shortcuts. Is your account an administrator of the machine? If it is and you still have the problem then you may need to explicitly use the "Administrator" account for the install.

Since a recent Firefox upgrade, I have a section of one of my online banking sites that will no longer open....says it is being blocked by Firewall. Wasn't a problem before I upgraded a few days ago.

One of my online banking sites runs contests to win cash from time to time to encourage use of the site. Prior to a recent upgrade of Firefox, I had no problem opening the necessary pages. I am now being told that those particular sites are being blocked by my Firewall. The area in question is basically a "flag" you click on to guess which of three "umbrellas" you want to open for a chance to win money. These flags are located in various parts of the online banking site; i.e., make a payment, transfers, summary, etc.

I can only guess because I've never seen such a message...
Does it help if you completely turn off Firefox's pop-up window blocker?

You might want to check with the bank's tech support in case they've run into this before.

The "Welcome Page" keeps coming up every time I open - how can I get rid of it?

Upgraded 2 weeks ago & used welcome page to take tours then...every time I open FF4 this page comes up ahead of my Start page, and stays on a tab throughout the session.
I don't need it or want it, but I can't find a way to make it go away...Help!

Trying to upgrade to Maverick but my disk has Time Machine backup so it cant and will not intall. How do I get around this problem?

I have a 13-inch MacBook Mid-2009 running on IOS X Lion and am trying to upgrade to Mavericks but after the download and starting installation the point where you choose which disk to use it says my hard drive is being used for Time Machine backups so it can not be used. I have turned off the Time Machine but do not know how to remove the backups from the hard drive. What do I do to get rid of the Time Machine backups I no longer actually need and install Mavericks? I have moved all my files to a separate terabyte hard drive but that drive does not have the GUID partition scheme to be used for installation. So I am stuck with one internal hard drive I cant use due to Time Machine and an external hard drive I cant use due to this GUID partition problem. How can I work around this and finally upgrade to Mavericks?

My itunes will not sync any of my music onto my iphone 4s. It also has this huge "other" category that is about 4 gb long. How can I get my music to sync back onto my iPhone?

I just want to figure out how I can resync all of my music back onto my iphone using itunes.

Texas Mac Man post (2/10/2012) on "Other" data on iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/message/19861751
https://discussions.apple.com/message/20053939 - "If it is much more than a gb or so, then it indicates corrupt files. A restore should resolve." "If restoring using your backup didn't work, you'll have to save as much of your data as you can (import your photos to your computer, sync your contacts and other data with iCloud, email things like Notes and Voice Memos to yourself, sync with iTunes to transfer all your purchases, etc.) and then restore it as new without using your backup." - https://discussions.apple.com/message/20054011

HT1688 Itunes on Iphone crashes-after the ios7 update my iPhone 5 will no longer open iTunes. Any suggestions.

I have updated my iPhone 5 to iOS 7. Since the update whenever I go to open iTunes on my iPhone it crashes. Can anybody help?

Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes available (11.1) from http://www.apple.com/itunes
Hope that helps.

TS1567 I did all of the directions and my iPod still will not sync. How can I get it to do so?

I can't get my iPod touch to sync to my computer. I attempted to update the iTunes version I had and it didn't go so well either, and that may have something to do with my issue. Ever since I tried to update iTunes it will not sync my iPod.

A reset should help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off button at the same time for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo reappears, release both buttons and await restart.

Whenever i or anyone else close the mozilla browser and later try to open it i always keep being told that the browser is still operating and will not re-open. if anyone can please help or explain it to me my email is *********@*******.***

this happens every time i close my browser and try to reopen it, whether I'm opening it 1 minute later or 10 hours later. Every time i have to open my start task manager and end process.

I have similar problem, my apple tv which has always worked properly with my Samsung tv will no longer play any audio after the latest 5.1 upgrade.

Disheartened apple fan.

Welcome to the  discussion forums.
Try going to synching in the sources menu on your tv and selecting 'change itunes library', when it gives you the passcode check itunes to see if the tv is showing up as a new device, if so try entering the pass code. It may be that your tv is seeing itunes as a different library because of a recent upgrade.

That's possible if he didn't connect to a WiFi hotspot after taking them. I don't think the "Personal" Photo Stream uploads over Cellular, unless they changed it since the last time I used it.
If that's the case, then the photos likely didn't upload to Photo Stream and are stuck on the phone.
And you're not going to be able to get them back, either.

I have a new computer and my old drive has my UNSAVED bookmarks on it and I want to import them, how do I do it when the bookmarks are not SAVED?

You can backup the bookmarks on the old computer and create a JSON or HTML backup and restore or import this file in the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks).
You can use an USB stick to transfer the saved bookmarks file to the new computer.<br />
You can also copy the places.sqlite file from that computer to have the bookmarks and the history.
