Prez,
I too have had this problem a few times with several different versions of FF.
What you need to do is to open a window to Task Manager (Ctrl-Alt-Del) and on the 'Processes' tab look down the list for Firefox, highlight the entry, then click "End Process". Accept the warning that pops up. You should then be able to uninstall.

My ipod will not charge from a wall socket but will charge using the same cable if the usb end is plugged into a computer or an airport power source. My iphone and ipad charge fine on the same cable usin ghte same wall plug in the same wall socket?

My ipod will not charge from a wall socket but will charge using the same cable if the usb end is plugged into a computer or directly into an airport power source. My iphone and ipad charge fine on the same cable using the same wall plug in the same wall socket. This makes no sense but I see that it has been posted as a problem elsewhere. This must be due to some kind of degredation of the Ipod. . It is not fixed by IOS resets as others have noted.
Has anyone asked Apple directly about this?

Hi there Apples or Pears,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the articles below.

Since I updated to firefox 5.0, the windows media player plug in for firefox doesnt work anymore :(

Ok I recently upgraded to firefox 5.0, and then when I went to a website that uses windows media player to watch videos and news reports, it said I needed to download the windows media player plug in for firefox. And yet I had already done that in the past. So it directs me to the plug in for windows media player 11, I download and install and it doesnt work. Website repeats the same message, you need to download plug in. It was working fine with firefox 4.0! I use the OS Windows 7, 64bit. Any help please?

Yes I did, at first it identified it as already there, so it gave the option of repairing it, etc, so I uninstalled the Windows Media Player, then Installed it again, and it still doesn't seem to work! I have the same problem with several other plug ins, in the add ons and plug in section of Mozilla tools, I see that say, "incompatible with firefox 5.0" but as days go by those add-ons, that are built by those other websites seem to be repairing it, but I wanted to know for something as important as windows media player plug in, am I the only one getting this problem? :/

It say "The VMware Remote Console Plug-in is not installed or could not be found" after installed VMware Remote Console Plug-in!

Dears,
I have installed VMware server 2.0.2 in Windows 7, everything is working but one thing not...
When I control my VM by VMware remote console, sometime It(VMware Infrastructure Web Access) tell me "The VMware Remote Console Plug-in is not installed or could not be found" even I have installed it many time.
What can I do?

The following workaround works on Windows for any browser.
(1) install the plug in. Never mind that it does not work.
(2) locate the executable vmware-vmrc.exe, this is typically in the following directory
"C:\Program Files\Common Files\VMware\VMware Remote Console Plug-in"
(3) Obtain the virtual machine ID from the links for the VM in the web UI. e.g. the following is machine ID 192
https://servername:8333/ui/#{e:"VirtualMachine|192",w:{t:true,i:0}}
In IE you get these by selecting the link and then looking at its properties using right click.
If you are really keen and want to write something more sophisticated the VM ID codes seem to be in:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\VMware\VMware Server\hostd\vmInventory.xml
(4) you can then create a COMMAND file or shortcut on your desktop (for the example above).
"C:\Program Files\Common Files\VMware\VMware Remote Console Plug-in\vmware-vmrc.exe" -h localhost:8333 -M 192
When you use this link you will need to log in using the webui username and password, and it will start the VM if it is not running.
(5) I use the following batch file (I am old school), as an icon on my desktop. I have not tried, but it should work from ANO desktop provided the VRMC is installed on the client and the script uses the correct IP for the host.
Hope that helps someone and saves them the time I have just spent.

My MacBook Pro will not connect to my home wifi but will connect everywhere else. My other Apple devices (I-pad, I-touch, another MacBook Pro) connect to the router without problems. It was working fine but all of a sudden stopped working.Thanks!

My MacBook Pro will not connect to my home wifi but will connect everywhere else. My other Apple devices (I-pad, I-touch, another MacBook Pro) connect to the router without problems. It was working fine but all of a sudden stopped working.Thanks!

try this.
get back into your router's settings and start deleting devices that are not connected to your router.
you can also delete the ones that are connected - they'll connect again.
on the DHCP side of it, increase the amount of users that can connect/log in to your router.
see if that sorts it out for you.
good luck.

None of the games on Facebook will open with firefox,but will on other browser

games on facebook will not load with firefox but will with other browsers

Hi keithwill838,
Have you looked at the Knowledge Base article [[Problems using Facebook in Firefox]]? There is a lot of good troubleshooting information in there. Please be sure to try all of the suggested steps. Each one is valuable and may be the answer to your issue.
Hopefully this helps!

I just downloaded the latest Windows updates, now videos online will not work on Firefox but will on other browsers, anyone else having this problem?

After downloading the latest Windows updates I found that I could not play videos on YouTube or at other sites. Switching to other browsers I found I could play those same videos now without any problem. So I did a System Restore to determine if the Windows updates had affected video play using Firefox. The restore point was set to the day before the Windows download occurred. After System Restore was completed I could now play videos using the Firefox browser.
To make sure that the Windows update was the problem, I again downloaded the newest Windows Updates and once again could not play videos on any site using Firefox. System restore was used to again reset my computer to the day before and once again the videos would ow play in the Firefox browser.

Actually your reply took me in another direction and I found this on the Adobe site:
The RealPlayer extension for Firefox, Downloading & Recording, has compatibility issues with Flash Player 11.3. If RealPlayer is installed Flash Player content does not appear. YouTube provides an error message when you try to watch a video.
As a workaround, do the following:
Start RealPlayer.
Click the RealPlayer icon in the upper-left corner and select Preferences.
Select Download & Recording in the left menu and deselect Enable Web Download & Recording for These Installed Browsers option.
Click OK and restart Mozilla Firefox.
Once I followed this I could now again play videos in Firefox.

I am testing our website :www.winningsportstips.com and we have Virtuemart installed and the site will not allow me to select 'add to cart' feature. However if I open the website in Internet Explorer, the feature is available and it functions correctly. I am running XP and have 'accept all cookies' enabled in settings.
Can you give me any clues? Thanks , Vern Nowland

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? ''A troubleshooting mode.'' 
You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut. Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. 
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut to open it again.''

After updating IPhoto to 9.5.1 my newly burned IDVD disks will not show on my Bluray player but will on my regular player. I burned the disk the same way as I did before Iphoto update.

My Apple computer has OSX Version 10.9.3 installed, IPHOTO 9.5.1, IMOVIE 7.1.4 and IDVD 7.1.2. Before I installed OSX and IPHOTO 9.5.1 updates I could burn disks of my videos and they would show on all my DVD players and still do. The disks I recently burns will not show on my Samsung Blu-ray player, but, will show on my regular player. I tried in both Magic DVD and One Step DVD From Movies with the same results. I used the same process before and after the problem. I am 75 years old and am not as computer savvy so I am not sure were to start troubleshooting the problem. Any help would be appreciated.
Don

What brand and type of DVD disk did you use? The most recommended brands around here are Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R.
What speed did you burn at? It's recommended to burn at the slowest speed possible to ensure the best quality disk, 2x -4x.
I have a Sony BlueRay player that will not take most of my home burned disks. It seems to be more particular.

Podcast will not load in safari from server, but will load in other Apps

Podcast will not load in safari from iWeb Page from server, but will load in Firefox and other web apps.
Here the problem: I have a podcast page made in iWeb. It is setting on a server with GoDaddy. When I try load page with Safari, I get where the Quicktime Playing Bars are a small Quicktime Logo w/? mark and will not download or play. But in Firefox, My iPad and in Windows side it will load and play. Also it play on a friends Macbook Pro in Safari. (Note it will play in my Safari after Firefox has play -it "very strange to me" like Firefox will open some port, but it will not stay open if quit Safari re-booth-it) I have remove the .plist for Quicktime & Safari. And clean out the Cache for Safari. Also have re-set the Firewall setting to Enable Stealth Mode only. Re-load the site to GoDaddy. This is happening to both Mac's in my network and in all users accounts.
My Network is a A&TT with a 2Wire w/wrieless turn off. going into and Airport Extreme Base Station w/N generation network. One computer is connected with and ethernet cable to the Airport extreme base station the other is a wireless contection.
I do feel this and network issue and I can't seem to solve-it. How can I get Safari to open the port and download and play-it on my network?

We've only discover this yesterday. One of our listeners sent me an e-mail about-it. With a little more research this morning. I've discover that everybody I've had check-it is have the same problem only with Safari 4.0.5. So I'm starting to feel that this is an Apple Safari Bug in 4.0.5 for the Mac only. It seems to be OK everywhere else on other devices. I agree in most cases this is not a problem. But when have older people who do not download into iTunes around the world it is to them. We have 250 or more listeners a week. This is a Church podcast.
For right now we are planing to post a message on the site saying you will not be able to listen to the podcast in Safari, but can in Firefox and ect.

T500 will not boot from bootable CDs/DVDs, but will read and open files on them

System: 2 T500s, both manufactured early April 2009, win XP, ATI Radeon 3650 graphics,4GB RAM, latest Lenovo drivers installed..
Problem:- Our 2 T500s cannot boot from any windows coded recovery CD -except Lenovo's rescue/recovery discs. Some -but not all- Linux code recovery CDs do boot the T500. Every other kind of CD and DVD such as audio and video works fine in windows XP.
Here an example of our 2 T500s' failure to recognise bootable CD/DVD discs. All the files and folders on a Paragon Partition Mgr v8.5 Recovery CD can be viewed in windows explorer and files such as jpg, txt and zip can be opened. This CD will not boot the T500, however, it will boot our other -non-Lenovo- computers. The same applies when the media are DVDs with identical content.
We have tried several different kinds of CD and DVD media to no avail. Burning the media on other computers and using several kinds of burning software does not help, ourT500s refuse to boot from them too.
The problem seems clear enough, on starup our T500s fail to distinguish between windows coded bootable and ordinary CDs/DVDs -unless they are Lenovo recovery/restore discs.
A solution would be gratefully received.

Thank you for your very kind assistance,
Q: "1. Did you apply the DVD firmware fix here?"
A. It was` already installed on our 2 T500s. We have also applied just about every driver update from Lenovo.
Q: "2. Did you try booting from a USB optical drive that you first attached to another system where you could verify that booting from it was possible?"
A. Yes, many times from a USB CD/DVD drive, it failed too. We burned on that drive too, but the T500s will not boot from those CDs either.
Q: "3. In this thread the solution was to use another burning program than Roxio..".
A. We have used the Paragon internal ISO creator/burner, the Roxio burner that was preinstalled wth the T500, BartPE internal ISO/burner ,InfraRecorder and others too. Made ISOs and burned from them, burned CDs directly on the fly etc, all to no avail..
For some reason, our two T500s' CD/DVD drive controllers or some intermediate software act as if the CD's boot sector is not present. Clearly, something (BIOS, software, unstable hardware, or ? ) is blocking the read or write of the data necessary to boot these CDs. Whatever that 'something' is, it has no effect on burning and booting Lenovo recovery CDs.
The bizarre part of all this is that a`Lenovo recovery CD burned on the T500 drive WILL BOOT the T500. A Paragon v8.5 recovery CD or BartPE CD burned in one of our non-Lenovo computers will boot ithat and every other computer we have except our T500s.
PS Thank you for the link to the new version of Roxio, will download and install it.

Itunes 7.5 will not install. Apple store tried but could not fix

Itunes was working perfectly until I downloaded version 7.5. It will not complete the install. I get a message to make sure that I have access to \itunes\itune.resources\de.lproj\appletv help.chm
I cannot find this file and a search says the Directory does not exist.
The Apple store worked on this for about two hours with no resoultion other than they thought it might be a Windows Problem. I tried to download 7.5 again and had the same result.
In the meantime I cannot get into itunes because it tries to install 7.5 when started.
Any suggestions?

I have tried everything has well. I uninstalled itunes & quicktime. I was able to reinstall quicktime using a link in one of the other discussions but i cannot get itunes to download. I am so disappointed & disgusted with itunes and apple that I not sure I want to even buy another apple product again. There has to a way to download an older version of itunes to get it running again.
