Update message won't stop

firefox on mac is constantly opening new tabs that tell me to update but i already did. i uninstalled and re-installed but that did not help. any thoughts?

If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then best 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 application and save the disk image file to the desktop
*Firefox 32.0: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
*Trash the current Firefox application (open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re)install
*Install the new version that you have downloaded
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Installing+Firefox+on+Mac
Your personal data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox profile folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data when you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

Transfer purchases before update message won't stop!

I want to update my phone to the 4.3 iOS, however when I click "update" I get a message saying that there are purchases on my phone that are not in my library and I should transfer them before updating. I have transfered no less than five times, both by going file, transfer purchases, and by right clicking on my phone and clicking transfer purchases, but the same message keeps coming up. I notice when I click on the apps tab of my phone not all of the apps from my phone are there and I am guessing that is the problem. How do I fix this?

All of my apps are in my iTunes library (minus the ones that come with the phone - game center, maps, youtube etc.), all of my purchased songs from the iTunes app, all of my purchased ringtones, and my podcasts are all in my iTunes library on my computer, however everytime I click "update" I am STILL getting the message saying there are purchases that have not been transferred, and are you sure you want to continue? I don't understand what it could be. All apps, songs etc. were purchased under the same account on the same phone. My computer is authorized.

"Cannot Open iTunes" messages won't stop!

I have iTunes open in my Wife's account. I am working in my account on the same PC (Windows 7), but I am NOT trying to use iTunes. However, the dialog box keeps popping up giving me a warning that iTunes cannot be opened.
I tried turning off the iTunes helper service but that didn't stop the warnings.
Any ideas? I searched and couldn't find anyone with this problem that had found a solution.

Then it's something specific to your PC that I don't know about.
If you're PC-savvy, you could troubleshoot using SysInternal's Process Monitor. It's not for the faint of heart and will take several hours to sort out.
There is always the workaround of going into your wife's account and closing itunes. iTunes doesn't support fast user switching on windows, and that's why you're seeing that message.

The difficulty here is finding out what is trying to start itunes on your account. Usually it is a plug-in, like an instant messenger "what's playing now" that causes it. But you have no plug-ins listed. And presumably, no ipod connected to the PC with itunes set to open when an ipod is connected.
So like I said, the only way I know of finding it is with Process Monitor.

DictationIM warning message WON'T STOP

I have a Macbook Pro running 10.8.3 and it is stuck in a loop of showing me the following message -
You do not have permission to use the application "DictationIM"
Okay, let's ignore the fact for the moment, that I have NOT tried to use the application Dictation IM and could care less if it never existed, I don't want it and don't need it.
If I press the "OK" button on the message it goes away for a millasecond and then pops back up. If I move the message it pops back center screen. The Macbook refuses to allow me to do anything else with that message on screen.
I have restarted the finder, and the entire computer. The message does not seem to come up on the administrators log-in but it does on my kid's log-in.
I have gone into preferences and made sure dictation was turned OFF.
I have gone to disk utilities and repaired all permisions.
Please tell me how to stop this. Can I simply throw this app out? I DO NOT WANT IT!
Thanks.

Here is a ridiculous work-a-round.
Went to an administrator account, opened parental controls for the kid's account, ALLOWED dictation.
Sign out of administrator account and back into the kid's account.
Go to preferences, open Dictation preferences. Turn Dictation ON and then back OFF. Go to the setting for key activation for this app. Turn key stroke activation OFF.
The message now only comes back when I try to open parental preferences in the kids account.
Sign out of kid's account and back into admin account.
Go back into parental preferences and disable Dictation.
Now the kid's can log back into their account and actually use the computer.
This sounds like maybe a virus???

Why is Firefox spamming me? I open it and it tries to update, fails, as soon as I close it, it starts an update, it won't stop and I can't use Firefox, which makes me sad because I love my Firefox :(

Firefox opens in a window that says please wait a few minutes while updating and than it opens directly to a new window that says... "The update could not be installed. Please make sure there are no other copies of Firefox running on your computer and than restart Firefox to start again. I exit out and it repeats, and repeats, and repeats etc. I don't even have to open Firefox for it to do this... I can't get onto Firefox and I'm really frustrated. Please Help!~

Aura won't stop asking to update

I have a Horizon 2e. A few weeks ago, a message came up, telling me that there was an update for Aura, and I could either update or have it ask later. No option for it to not update and not ask later!I have successfully run the update 3 times, but everyday it asks again. It is annoying.How can I get this to stop?

Hi Jubal_Droad,
Thanks for Posting!
There is a Program file under Lenovo Folder Program Files that is called
Alpha Upgrade Service
This app checks for an update and downloads and install
The app seems to be downloading the same version and cannot recognize that you already have the one it's trying to download causing it to download again.
One thing is that the Lenovo Alpha upgrade service is set to Run everytime you log in to the computer causing it to update everytime.
When you run the Task Scheduler you'll find the Alpha Upgrade Service configured as such. you can disable it there.
Still Don't know why the update won't give a notification that you have the latest or give a no available update message.
Regards

The NYT website won't stop loading whenever it does an auto-update. While this loading continues, other websites are unresponsive until I force the loading to terminate. This started happening with FF 4.0.1.

When I do a manual refresh on certain sites like NY Times or CNN, or when sites like NYT periodically push an update through, the updates won't stop loading. It's as though the update never completes. The rotating circle icon on the affected tab just continues indefinitely. While this is happening, other websites that I try to open or update are either very slow or unresponsive.
My fix has been to force the update to terminate by using the red X button next to the website name. Then other websites respond normally but often the one that I have manually stopped becomes unresponsive.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in [[Safe mode]]:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

Help...MacBook Restarts and Restarts After update ...won't stop

Hello, I just ran the Leopard 10.5.1 software update on my MacBook and it restarted and now it just keeps restarting and makes the sound and it won't stop. Does anyone know what's going on?

That just happened to me. Help. I just did a regular software update, which included a combined operating system update, a QuickTime update and a security update. I restarted after the download as instructed, and now the computer keeps restarting. The little dial keeps spinning and the Apple restart bell goes off, but it never finishes. Then after a few minutes, it restarts itself again.
I've got a big college project in that computer and it's due Monday. Please someone help.

As i've posted in this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=746408&tstart=30
I've tried everything others have suggested without any luck.
Now I'm stuck with a 300 bucks mp3 jalopy.
My big question here is :
why aren't we hearing from apple? why aren't they saying something like "yeah we messed things up but be patient. we are trying our best to fix it..." ?
I was thinking to buy the macbook pro but now I'm afraid of the day things will get messy with that too.

Clock set wrong message and Spinning ball won't stop

When the screen comes up it shows message: clock is set before March 2001 needs to be changed. Hit ok button in that message and it doesn't do anything. So I can't fix time and the ball is spinning and won't stop. HELP

Cinephile8,
probably not. There is an underlying problem that needs to be resolved. Which model MacBook Pro do you have, and which version of OS X is installed on it?
(In the interim, you can press Option-u then o to generate ö.)

For 4 days now firefox updates are automatically downloading ad won't stop.

The download for firefox updates keeps running and won't stop.

If updating isn't working then do a clean reinstall.
Do a clean (re-)install:
* Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Do not remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
* 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 (not in the Firefox program 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.

Audio error message on playback and P Pro CS6 won't stop playback. Have to force quit.

Hello: I'm getting an audio error message on playback and P Pro CS6 won't stop playback. Have to force quit.
Earlier in the project, I would crash when moving audio up/down tracks or up/down time line.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,

That screenshot will help us figure out what's going wrong, but I won't have any news until at least July 8 because our offices are shut down next week. In the meantime, two suggestions:
Download CC and see if this crash occurs in the new version.
Google cpp-99 premiere pro audio prefetch. I got several hits, but not dig into them to see if any had a solution or workaround.
