Close all applications and reboot the computer.
Delete any downloaded or partially downloaded installer files.
Clear the browser cache (of whatever browser you are using to download FF) and the Windows Temp directory.
Delete the directory C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
Shutdown any anti-virus software you are running.
Download a new copy of the full installer from www.mozilla.com
Run the installer.
Restart the anti-virus program.

  • How do i move ipod nano content to a new Windows computer?  My old computer died and when i try to sync to itunes on my new Windows computer, it says it will erase what's on the ipod.  I can't seem to de-authorize the old computer (it's been recycled).

    Hi, I'm an ipod newbie, and unsure of what product i have-i believe it's an ipod nano, but can't seem to find any info on itunes that will identify my product.
    how do i move ipod nano music to a new Windows 7 computer?  My old computer died and when i try to sync to itunes on my new Windows computer, it says it will erase what's on the ipod.  I can't seem to de-authorize the old computer (it's been recycled).  Does this mean I have to start all over and read in my CD's into itunes?  seems very inflexible/inelegant...
    thanks for your help, sorry if this question has already been answered before!

    Hey mcooper156,
    I would try the troubleshooting steps in this first article:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1717
    If that doesn't resolve the issue, then I would try and remove iTunes (and its related software) then reinstall:

  • Firefox does not load pages, comes back with server not found

    First I thought this was a problem with Firefox 4 beta but now I am having the same issue with 3.6.16
    About 70% of the times, Firefox does not open the web page and comes back with "Server not found" message. Interesting thing is it comes back with this message on the first 2 tries and then on the third try for the same link it will display the page. Always, 2 fails and 3rd time it works. Now during the first two times, internet commnection is working and if I try the same URL on IE it works without any issues. This started happening after I tried Firefox 4 beta. 4 is not uninstalled and I am back to 3.6.16. But the issue remains.
    I am using Win 7 64 Home Premium, SP1 is not applied yet but all updates are in place.

    Well, I'm using Firefox 4.0 and have the same problem. I tried to open my private homepage and my *.net-domain comes back with the "Server not found" message (my *.com-domain loads without any problem - same contents on both websites)
    I also tried to open my net-domain in FF portable - without any problems.
    Clearing the cache, deleting the cookies etc in FF4 does not help either.
    I also had the experience that FF4 does not load CSS5 websites (e.g. deviantart) properly (CSS does not work, website shows simply the html-version, a disgusting look). With FF portable the problem does not exist.
    I tried this on different machines (e.g. Windows XP Pro SP3 (office PC), Win7 Pro 64, Win Vista SP2... (home PCs) and there I'm experiencing the same issues with FF4 and various websites.

  • Mdnsresponder will not quit.  Consumes above 100% CPU and kills my battery.  Also causes my fan to run constantly and my computer to get extremely hot.  Force quitting doesn't work.  It just comes back.

    The mdnsresponder will not quit.  Consumes above 100% CPU and kills my battery.  Also causes my fan to run constantly and my computer to get extremely hot.  Force quitting doesn't work.  It just comes back.   I posted about this earlier and never got an answer.  Somebody, please help. 
    Thanks.

    mDNSResponder is a background process that runs all the time. If you kill it, it's relaunched automatically.
    Please launch the Console application and select "system.log" from the file list. Enter "mDNSResponder" (without the quotes) in the search field. Post a sample of the log messages in the Console window -- only one example of each repeated message, please.

  • Every time I turn the computer off or put it in sleep mode... when I come back my wallpaper is gone. I have to keep going to my pics and getting it back. Does anyone know why this keeps happening??

    Every time I turn the computer off or put it in sleep mode... when I come back my wallpaper is gone. I have to keep going back to my pics and getting it back.
    Does anyone know why this keeps happening??

    Are you choosing it from one of these folders (in my screenshot) or you can also put that picture into the correct folder. The path is:
    HD > Library > Desktop Pictures
    If you add it to the folder manually, please restart your computer.
    And yes, letting it sleep is a good idea, or else the startup disk will spin and the screen may suffer from image persistence if you leave a window or image parked in the same spot too long, so the screensave is a good idea.

  • When I have documents open and I walk away for a few minutes, when I come back and try to resume working, my computer seems to freeze up and the little pinwheel starts spinning and I literally have to unplug my computer to get it out of this frozen state.

    When I have documents open and I walk away for a few minutes, when I come back and resume working, my computer freezes up and the little pinwheel starts spinning.  I literally have to unplug it to get out of this frozen state.  This has been getting progressively worse over the past three months.  I recently took it into the Genius Bar and they could not find anything wrong.  They told me to add more memory, which I did.  However, the problem persists. Do you know why my computer would freeze up after the screen has had no activity for just a few minutes?  My screen saver is set for an hour so I know this is not the problem.

    What kind of documents? Office? iWork? Text Edit? What version?
    What settings do you have in regards to power saver and/or screen saver?
    For these kinds of system glitches I always recommend installing and running Onyx 'Automation'. If that does not work you should reinstall the offending software, if possible.

  • PCI-GPIB does not like returning from computer power-save mode. I need to restart the application. Uggh! Customer not happy.

    It seems volatile memory is lost on the PCI GPIB Card. When the system returns from power-save, I cannot get to my GPIB instruments. I have to close the application and restart it. I've tried unregistering and reregistering the gpib globals and resetting the device interfaces (reissuing the ibdev command) without luck. I am using Visual Basic 6, but I also get the Measurement and Automation Explorer to fail in the same way, so I don't think it is my development environment.

    Can you change your power save settings? What operating system
    are you running?
    Also, some BIOS's have options for power save. For example, recent
    IBM's can be set to maintain power to all peripherals, or only to main
    memory. Of course, you would want it to maintain power.
    I suspect the GPIB board and its driver are completely unable to
    handle power save operation. It probably was never considered while
    it was being designed.

  • I'm going to quit iTunes match, all my music is online (non on my computer). When I come back to iTunes Match: will I be able to acces my music?

    I'm going to quit iTunes match for other streaming services, all my music is in the cloud (non on my computer). When I come back to iTunes Match: will I be able to acces my music?
    I'm planning to not renew my iTunes match ending soon.But when I change my mind in, say, a year, will all my music be available to me. I really don't feel like donwloading and backig up :-)
    Thank you!

    I don't know if Apple keeps a record of what music you had in the cloud. I am assuming that after the subscription lapses, after some amount of time the music in the cloud is deleted. So, after a year, if you sign up again you'll need to go through the process again.
    iTunes Match is not a backup, and if you don't pay the subscription fee Apple is under no obligation to keep the data around.
