Unable to update 5.0.1 or 6.0.1 Download spins indefinitely using OSX10.6.8

I have been unable to update the 2 latest versions of Firefox.
I'm using OSX 10.6.8
I get a warning that one of my add-ons (Contribute) is not compatible and will not appear on my menu bar.
Then the download scroll just spins and spins.

If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
* Firefox 6.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

    Did you purchase Lion (10.7) from the App Store did you then download and install it?

  • I am unable to update Pages through the App store. It appears someone else used my machine to update Pages previously.For the update,  I am asked to login to another account. I want to remove it and download the latest version. Can I do this?

    I was notified that Pages and one other application have updates. When I tried to login, the Apps page asks me to login to an account I am not familiar with. I imagine that this machine was used by someone else to update or download 2 apps. I would like to delete them and download the latest apps using my account. Can I do this?

    You can log in to your own account at any time and access the appliactions you have paid for, just fill in your own Apple ID.

  • After updating to firefox 5.0, I can't download streamed videos using realplayer recorder, I can play them

    HI Juanverano,
    Not a problem, Safe Mode will disable addons and hardware acceleration. If this continues and it is not an add on this will be the next step to try to disable acceleration:
    Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
    You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
    Then perform these steps:
    #Open Firefox ''Options'' window (''Preferences'' on Mac or Linux) as follows:
    #* In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and select ''Options'' for Windows or ''Preferences'' on Mac or Linux.
    #* In Firefox 28.0 and previous versions, click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
    #In the Firefox Options (or Preferences) window, click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select ''General''.
    #In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
    #Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
    Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
    * [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
    * [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • HT4972 Unable to update iPhone 4 to latest version

    My daughter was given a iPhone 4 that was completely reset.  It has 13GB of space but will not support certain apps without updating at least to IOS 6.  I had to back up and sync with my PC and was able to connect and start downloading to IOS 7; however when the process was completed an error message was displayed stating it was unable to update the phone....epic fail! We are using wi-fi, I noticed that question asked in other inquires while searching for an answer.  What do we need to do to at least update this phone to a version that will support Instagram app?  Thanks!

  • OSX: Adobe Creative Cloud unable to update (stall at 50%)

    Hey experts,
    ever since signing up for Creative Cloud I have been unable to update any application as my regular user on OSX. After exchanging 23 emails with the Adobe support in 2013 I finally gave up and created a workaround in the hope that the Adobe developers would finally look into the issue and fix the bug. With the last update of Creative Cloud my workaround stopped working so I took time to do a complete reinstallation of Creative Cloud to see if the bug was finally fixed. It was not.
    The bug:
    -Installation of Creative Cloud and Photoshop, Lightroom etc. through the Creative Cloud app works.
    -Any try to update a CC applicaton (e. g. Photoshop CC 2014 results in the state "waiting" at 50%):
    -Trying to update through the menu of Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 "Aktualisierungen"
    resulted in the following error message:
    Translation: "Update failed. Unable to apply updates. Adobe Application manager is already running. Close all instances of Adobe Application Manager before applying updates. etc."
    What I tried to resolve the problem:
    What did not work:
    -Complete reinstallation of Creative Cloud:
         -Uninstall of all Adobe applications
         -Ran the Adobe CC Cleaner tool
         -Eliminated every single *[Aa]dobe*-folder on my disk including my profile.
         -Reboot
         -Re-installation using a fresh CC download.
    -The common 1st-level-support acts of desperation:
         -Rebooting
         -Checking the file system
         -Fixing permissions
    -The bug even survived 2 OSX system upgrades
    -Even tried to track down the bug myself which I gave up after having discovered the endless chain of Creative Cloud and AAM-Processes executing each other...
    What worked:
    -Installing updates as another OSX user. (Which is cumbersome and to be honest I am unwilling to create a new profile and redoing the settings of all installed (especially non-Adobe) applications because of an Adobe bug...)
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

  • I am unable to update  apps on my iPhone 5.

    I am unable to update my apps on my iPhone 5. As I select the update button it asks for my password but the goes back to like it was. I have already rebooted a couple of times & even logged out & signed back into my iCloud, iTunes & App store. Nothing worked. But, I am still able to download new apps.
    Please tell me what can I do now to update my apps. All suggestions will be appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Can you explain a little more?  Is there a problem with your app store account?  If so, http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
    If there is another reason, can you describe it?

  • Unable to update apps on iPad mini. I have even restored the iPad and now I can't download any of my previously purchased apps.

    Can someone help me. I am using an iPad mini with iOS 7.0.4 with wifi connection. Have had no problems until recently when I was unable to update apps and then noticed that some apps would open but no data would be available in apps like intelicast and Pinterest. I have restored the iPad and now I am unable to download any of my previously purchased apps.

    1. Make sure iPad is using the latest software
    2. Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>On
    3. Make sure Time Zone is correct
    4. Reset iPad. Hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo.

    Has somebody set the database ready for archiving, maybe some maxl has been run and the db has not been returned from read only mode.
    Try running the following Maxl (change app.db to match your app/db)
    alter database app.db end archive;

    Hi Atul,
    Thanks for the help.
    The Readonly error got resolved.
    But still the following error is displayed when I am loading data thru load rule.
    To Brief you up, I had done a database corrupt check using validate command because of the following error. The information map asks you to do the same since the other parameters are in the affirmative ie sufficient disk space, not using addsin, File is present.
    *Unable to Read Information From [C:\Hyperion\essbase\app\SMC\PL\PL-BS-LD.rul]*
    Unexpected Essbase error 1019003
    I used the VALIDATE <error.txt> command and found that the database is not corrupt.
    I also used the export command to see if everything goes well. That also works well.
    Note: I do not have any data in the Cube. I had cleared all data.
    Can you please help ?

    You should be syncing all your contacts and calendars with your computer, either via iCloud or iTunes, so it is easy to re-sync them back to the phone after you restore.
