Unable to update to the most recent version despite uninstalling Firefox and resinstalling latest version. Help??

Despite installing the latest version of Firefox, uninstalling it, and reinstalling it again, my computer is not reading the most updated version. Furthermore, when I look at the "About Firefox" dropdown, it says that I am running 7.0.1 and that it is up today--contradicting the information below: 3.5.5. How do I fix this?

Your UserAgent string in Firefox is probably messed up by another program that you installed. 
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Agent]
type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter 
''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.'' 
Filter = '''general.useragent.''' 
Right-click the preferences that are '''bold''', one line at a time, and select '''''Reset'''''. 
Then restart Firefox

I've updated to the most recent version of iTunes and I can no longer see any of my old music on my mac. All the music is still available on my ipad. How can i download the music on my mac?

First, are you positive it is really not there? Have you looked in your iTunes folder in your Music folder, and in the media folders there? Do you see your media files?
If your media are gone it is a lot easier to restore from a proper computer backup. Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.

I updated to the most recent version of Itunes and I do not see iOS5. Where is it? Everything is the same, no difference.

iTunes checks for updates approx. once a week. If you go to the Summary page for your Touch and look next to the" Check for Updates" button it lists the date that iTunes will perform the next check for updates. To check for an update before this date, click the "Check for Updates" button. If iTunes doesn't indicate that the iOS 5 update is available for your device then you're Touch is probably not supported by the new OS.

I have firefox16.0 and would like to update to the most recent version (19). But my Firefox won't update

Hi there
I've got windows vista on my computer, and am using Firefox 16.0. Have been for a while now, ever since it was installed a year ago or so.
The thing is, Firefox won't update to the latest version (currently version 19 I believe), neither automatically or manually. I've tried everything, including using the "help" function. The window only says it's Firefox 16.0, but when I click on "update", the page just refresh and that's it, nothing else happens. I've checked all other settings, and it looks like all the right boxes are ticked, including "update Firefox automatically".
Coming to think about it, on my wife's computer, we are always told about new updates for Firefox. On this one, no update alert of any sorts since it was installed a while ago (and again, all the right boxes being ticked)
Please can anybody help? Should i reinstall Firefox altogether?
Thanks for your help
Frankie

I have a four year old version of Firefox and it won't let me update to the most recent version. Help.

Current installed version of Firefox is 2.0.0.4 - 2006. I'm trying to upgrade to 3.6.8; while it will download, I don't get a prompt to drag it into the Applications folder. I think my installed version is so old it won't recognize the new one. What do I do to make the new version install?

You have not specified the version of Mac OS X you are using. If you have 10.3.9 or earlier, the last version you can use is Firefox 2.0.0.20 available from ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/2.0.0.20/mac/en-US/
Firefox 3 and above require at least OS X 10.4
If you do have 10.4 or above, see [[Installing Firefox on Mac]]

I just updated to the most-recent version of Firefox, and now I can't seem to get my google toolbar back.

I went to the google website and downloaded the toolbar again, but it still isn't showing up in Firefox.

I just updated to to the most recent version of Pages and now cannot view or open any of my previous documents created before the update. Where did they disappear to? Can I retrieve them?

Hi cmccloud,
What is the error message you get? If it's telling you to upgrade Numbers but you already have updated, then that means you probably are trying to open the document with the old version, which is still on your Mac, in a sub folder within Applications named iWork '09. Open the document with the Numbers that is in your Applications folder (not the one in a subfolder). It's easy to confuse the two, because the icons are similar.
If you're getting some other error message, could you post specifics?

Is there any solution to mozilla freezing when the most recent version of flashplayer is enabled?

since updating to the most recent versions of mozilla and flashplayer my browser has ground to a standstill. this is only fixed by disabling the flash player add-on but then i can't watch any video content. this has been the case for a couple of months. i have an HP dv6000 with AMD, which i saw from another forum may be the problem. I have tried installing an older version of flash but get the error message that ihave the wrong version installed. I have no techy knowledge so please help with idiot-proof answers...

I just updated my software to maverick and my iTunes to the most recent version and i can no longer transfer songs from my iTunes to my iPod

i just updated my software to maverick and my iTunes to the most recent version and i can no longer transfer songs from my iTunes to my iPod. The tracks stay gray with a stagnant circle beside them in the left column. Any ideas?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Opening since update to Firefox 6, always get the message that I don't have the most recent version - have removed and reinstalled, but still persists.

I recently updated my Firefox to version 6.0. When it re-opened after installation there was a message that I didn't have the most recent version. I ran the update set-up again but got the same message. I uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it from a fresh download but it's still happening.
I've restarted the computer several times. It doesn't seem to have helped. Any ideas?

* Download a new copy of the Firefox program: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re)install.
* Install the new version that you have downloaded.

At times, I receive a notice from a site that Firefox needs an update. When I go to FIrefox, it says I am using the most recent version. What goes?

I am wondering if these sites are trying to get me to download Malware or viruses. If I go to the Firefox site and it says that I am using the most recent version, I believe what Mozilla is telling me and ask myself "why would a site tell me I need to update"? I only trust Mozilla and will not blindly download something without investigating. Am I being paranoid?

Thanks. You confirmed my suspicions, and I hope others do not fall for this. It usually happens with the site:
1Channel
or
PrimeWire.ag (This is the name for the new 1 Channel due to its being hijacked)

I updated my iphone to the most recent version and now all my wife's text messages come to my phone. I think I set it up wrong, how can I change this?

I recently updated to the most recent iphone software. Now my phone seems linked to my wife's and I get all of her text messages. How can I change this? Please help.

It sounds like that Library is damaged. Restore from your back up is the simple surefire solution.
