  • Downloaded FF4, ran setup, told "extraction failed, file is corrupt" how fix?

    I asked this question on 4/28 but no answer and can't find my question on this damned board! DOWNLOADED FF4 TO A SAVE FILE, DOUBLE CLICKED ON SETUP (the icon) AND AFTER INITIATING IT STOPS AND STATES: "EXTRACTION FAILED, FILE IS CORRUPT" WHAT IS THE FIX? I use FF3.6.16 on a Tosh laptop with dual processors and 60% of my HD free; Windows Vista, COMODO Internet Security. PLEASE ANSWER AND INSTRUCT HOW IN HELL DOES ONE FIND ONE'S QUESTION IN THIS UNGODLY POOR SUPPORT FORMAT!

    Well, we have 2 Antivirus that is separately installed on 2 units. On my notebook, it's symantec, on our desktop, it's mcafee, is it possible to have the same symptoms on different computers? :0
    Recently I saw another page on that shows a direct download to an older version of Firefox, so I'll check that out. ><
    I'll also try your answer (even though I don't know how to disable it...) Thank You Very Much! :D

  • I have tried everything that has been suggested and even deleted and downloaded Firefox again and it will not open. Any ideas on how to get it to open?

    I have been trying to get Firefox to open up and everytime I double click on the icon nothing happens. I have gone to the task manager and deleted it from the process list and tried again and still will not open. I have even tried deleting the program and downloading it again and it still will not open.

    What was the full wording of the error message? Usually there is also a number or additional information.

  • When trying to download firefox, it states that "mounting failed." what can i do?

    my initial firefox got put in the trash and unfortunately the trash was emptied. I tried to download a new firefox, but each time i do it states "mounting failed."

    The last version of Firefox that works on OS X 10.3.9 is Firefox 2.0.0.20, available from ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/2.0.0.20/mac/en-US/
    You get the mounting failed error message if you try to use a more recent version of Firefox.

  • TS3697 I am receiving an error message(iTunes will no longer sync photos to the iPhone "Peter's iPhone". Do you want to keep or remove photos previously synced to your iPhone") I am trying to download pics from my computer to my iPhone. Any ideas? Peter

    When I went to download some pics (originally taken with my iphone 4S) from my computer back to my iPhone I got the following error message: "iTunes will no longer sync photos to the iPhone "Peter's iPhone". Do you want to keep or remove photos previosly synced to your iPhone?"
    Coincidentally, my wife just purchased an iPhone 4S and syncs to iTunes on the same computer.
    Any ideas?
    Peter

    The "best" way to handle it, if you want to keep everything separate, is to create separate user accounts on the computer. make sure you log into your account on the computer before you attempt to sync your phone and log out when you're done using the computer.
    Though it's possible to sync both of them to the same iTunes library, and even share an account for the iTunes store, you're inviting confusion and possible data loss (as you've discovered already). Best to just use separate user accounts on the computer. That also gives you the benefit of not polluting the other persons browser favorites, contacts, etc.

  • CS6 Photoshop crashes when trying to use type tool or opening up .psd files. Any ideas on how to fix it???

    I have Adobe CS6 Design Standard (MAC). I have had it about a year and a half and use it a ton! Just yesterday while I was using Photoshop, I clicked to use the type tool, the "initializing type tool" box popped up then a few seconds later the whole program crashed. I tried opening it back up and every time I did it just kept crashing. I restarted and shut down my computer, but still no solution. I even uninstalled the program then reinstalled. Same thing. All of my other tools work just fine (brush tool, eraser, crop, etc.). Also, when I try to open up a .psd file the program crashes as well.
    I tried searching the internet for solutions, but couldn't find much. One suggestion was to delete the Adobe Photoshop program settings file, I did that but it still didn't work. After each crash a report would be sent to Adobe, then another window would pop up saying that Adobe has found a solution for the recent crash. There is a link that says "please CLICK HERE for further details" but the link doesn't take me anywhere. It just doesn't work!
    Has anyone had this happen to them? Any ideas on how to fix it? I really need to get this up and running again!!!

    This is a user to user forum and Adobe Staff does drop by.
    First thing to try is Reset the Type Tool by right-clicking on its' icon in the Options bar.
    If you still have problems, it could be related to fonts. Here is a step by step troubleshooting help doc for that.

  • Trying to download firefox and it comes up as Extraction Failed. File Corrupt.

    Ive been trying to download firefox for two days now. When its done getting the setup file i open it and it Says the file is corrupt. Ive tried numerous things. Norton says less then 5 people have this version. Is it my computer or the site?

    It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.
    Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading and installing work.

    Download them to iTunes abd then sync the apps. Make an appointment with Apple and see what the problem is.

  • Trying to download Firefox and as soon as the "run" box appears Explorer shuts down.

    Using Explorer, I'm trying to download Firefox. As soon as the run dialog box opens, Explorer shuts down. What do I need to do to download Firefox.

    Does that happen with anything you try to download in IE, not just when downloading Firefox?
    We are unable to help you troubleshoot or find solutions to IE problems on this forum; this forum is for issues with Firefox only. You will more likely get an answer by posting your question regarding the problem with IE crashing at the following site, then follow the instructions above for downloading and installing Firefox.

    FireFox can't open lots of files it isn't suposed to. DMG is opened by the Mac osx as a virtual volume file you just drag the FireFox icon to where you want it installed. Check your desktop for a FireFox volume... like a drive. Double click the DMG file if it is not there. This is how Mac works it has nothing to do with FireFox, many apps install this way!

  • When trying to download Firefox 3.6, just before finishing I get a message that says the file is corrupted and won't let me knownload

    I'm trying to download firefox 3.6 and get a message saying the file is corrupted, or doesn't have authentication. What's up?

    Hi,
    I think there are some internet problems. If you use a (wireless)-router, maybe a reset will work. You can reset the router by pressing a button on the router itself. Try again downloading firefox.
    If this doesn't work, download firefox from another computer and safe it on a USB flash drive.
    Kind regards,
    Joren
