Troubles downloading new firefox on old Mac OS X (version 10.4.11), can it be used on such an old mac?

I have an old mac (Mac OS X version 10.4.11) and the download seemed to go through smoothly, but when I clicked on the mozilla icon it said that it couldn't be opened. I was wondering if this new version of firefox is not compatible with older macs.

Less danger of losing than saving actually.
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

HT4150 SDXC cards on Mac OS X version 10.5.8 can they be used

Can SDXC cards be used to transfer picture from onto the snow leopard 10.5.8 mini mac?

Just for clarity's sake, Mac OS X 10.5.8 is Leopard, not Snow Leopard. Snow Leopard is Mac OS X 10.6.x. It's often important, and features and capabilities differ between the two operating system versions.

Meg81 error 214 indicates a download data validation error. This means that the update you downloaded became corrupted likely during the download process. I would recommend utilizing the suggestions listed in Error downloading Creative Cloud applications - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/error-downloading-cc-apps.html to attempt to improve the stability of your Internet connection.
You can also find information on how to review your download logs which may provide additional information regarding the failure of the download.

When on Facebook (for example), Firefox is not allowing me to open pictures; when using apps, the bottom of the screen is missing so cannot utilize the apps. All working on Safari; just downloaded new Firefox 4, so seems to be a problem with this version?

Can you attach a screenshot?

Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot.

*Tap the Alt key or press F10 to show the Menu bar.
In current Firefox releases (29 and later) the orange Firefox menu button has been replaced by the three-bar Firefox Menu button at the far right end of the Navigation Toolbar and this button is always visible, whether you have the menu bar visible or hidden A consequence of this location is that you no longer can hide the Navigation Toolbar
*There is a star like button next to the search bar on the Navigation Toolbar to bookmark the current web page and a "Show your bookmarks" button next to it to open the Bookmarks in a drop down menu. You can find "Show All Bookmarks" to open the Bookmarks Manager (Library) at the bottom of this drop-down list
*If you bookmark a page then "Bookmark This Page" in the Bookmarks menu changes to "Edit This Bookmark"
*You can make the title bar visible via the "Title Bar" button at the bottom left in the Customize palette window
It is still possible to have the menu bar visible via the right-click context menu of a toolbar to have menus like the File menu with Print (Ctrl+P) and Print Preview and the Bookmarks menu available.

I had the same problem when i dl-ed a new anti-virus softward, but what I did help me reconnect Firefox again!
Here is what I did,
Go to open firefox browser-->option-->advanced-->network-->settings-->and change it to auto-detect proxy settings for this network!
It worked for you, hope it will work for you too =)!

I downloaded new Firefox and it says on new firefox page I need to upgrade. When I go to Blogtalkradios studio it says I need to upgrade to 5.0. Help

I downloaded new Firefox version from start page and continue to get same message on start page " URGENT!
Your version of Firefox is no longer protected against online attacks.
Get the upgrade - it’s fast and free!"
I clicked on 'get the upgrade' and downloaded repeatedly but get same message on Firefox start page even after restarting and shutting down my Windows PC

Your More system details list still shows a Firefox 3.5.6 user agent.
*Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.6) Gecko/20091201 Firefox/3.5.6 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
You either have a corrupted user agent or the update has failed. 
See:
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Websites+or+add-ons+incorrectly+report+incompatible+browser
You can check the version via Help > About Firefox 
If that shows the wrong version then you need to do a clean install of Firefox 5. 
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version.
* Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
* 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 in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile 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.

As already provided, if you don't have such in your iTunes library, on your computer, then there is no way to put it back on your phone. Apps are DRM protected, so even if you found a copy somewhere, you wouldn't be able to use it.

My printer is a Samsung ML-2010R. Still looking for a driver solution to run Mac OS X Lion through a new Macbook Pro. Previously, I was running Mac Os X version 10.5.8 through this printer on a 4 yr old Macbook. Any further help is most appreciated:-)

Apple seems to be naming their operating sytems usability based on the respective turd size of the feline in question. Lions are big, very, very, very big.
I had a system that served me well for 2 years until I mistaking bought a new machine which runs mega-turd (Lion). Foolish me, now nothing works properly, its a daily struggle to get anything working smoothly using my NEW mac mini. All my other machines work fine, even the windows machines and my Android tablet see all the network components and can talk to each other.
My Internet service is over 3g which I share to the house using internet sharing via my brand new €800 mac mini running POS Lion, everytime the service is interrupted, Kaboom, the mini resets the DHCP server, but doesn't seem to refresh any of the components so connections drop everywhere.
Its amateur hour at Apple folks.
There are several posts alone relating to internet sharing, I have submitted a bug report relating to the non user controllable DHCP server (which may be at fault), but the response / solution from Apple was lacklustre and ultimately didn't work.
See this, there are some work around's in there;

My mac book is not working so i can no longer use my mac to back up my note in my phone and unfortunately i dont have outlook on my pc is there a way to get all my old notes from my 3gs to my 4s iphone?

Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone begins to start, try this a few times if necessary. If still problem, you may have to just Restore your iPhone to get it working. In the future sync your iPhone with iTunes routinely and when it contains important data, iCloud when set correctly will do this for you continuously.

Why is the New FireFox so different to the previous version?.

Prior to upgrading if I brought up my FireFox page I had a header the same as my Google Page. The new/latest FireFox Page does not have the header with the options. Those options were,Images-Videos-Maps-News-Shopping-Mail and a More option with a drop-down menu. Why is this the case?.

''Why is the New FireFox so different to the previous version?''
I'll pass pass on the "why", although the reason given would be to improve Firefox by having a page that is on your system -- but the the content is not exactly on your system. I always find it amazing that there is anyone who uses the default home page, especially when Firefox has s builtin search bar. Even a couple of my friends who think the internet is their former ISP have there former ISP's page as their their home page.
To restore a Google search page you can replace your homepage with http://www.google.com then you will see those Google applications at the top of the window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How%20to%20set%20the%20home%20page
Now that you no longer have the Firefox default home page ("about:home") you had better read item #31 in the following about picking up your previous session from your history menu.
* http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#tabslost
which is part of the following:
You can make Firefox '''Firefox 5.0''' look like Firefox 3.6.19, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 5.0, or 4.0.1, look like 3.6)].

HT3825 I am running mac os x version 10.5.8 can I download Mountain Lion?

I am currently running mac os x version 10.5.8 can I download OS X Mountain Lion directly or do I have to go back and download snow leopard and lion before I can download Mountain lion?

http://www.apple.com/osx/how-to-upgrade/
Snow Leopard is a requirement. Mountain Lion will only be offered via the App Store and the App Store requires 10.6.6 (at least).

Those specifications are not for the "last" mac mini, but for the mid-2011 Mac Mini: Macmini5,2.
While that model came with Lion and could not be downgraded to Snow Leopard out of the box, look for the work done by newfoundglory https://discussions.apple.com/people/newfoundglory in this thread on how to accomplish an install of Snow Leopard that will allow that model of Mac Mini to boot into Snow Leopard, if it is that important to you:

Hello bigblue8
Check out the following articles for troubleshooting access to the iTunes Store. The first one will probably get you started enough to get it taken care of. If it does not the follow up article should definitely solve it for you.
