Updated Firefox to 7.0. Message that architecture is not supported
I have a Mac G4 with 10.5.8 operating system. Have been using Firefox as web browser. Message today I could update to Firefox 7.0. I did and replaced existing version. Message is not supported by system architecture. Have tried to put in earlier versions of Firefox. Get same message. I am afraid I have permanently lost all bookmarks, etc. CAN YOU HELP.
PPC Mac isn't supported in the Firefox 4.0+ versions.
For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4 / 5 / 6, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8 . <br />

I purchased Elements 13. When I tried to install it I get the error message that it is not supported by Vista. What do I do now?
If you can't install Windows 7 or higher or get a new computer with Windows 7 or higher, you won't be able to run Photoshop Elements 13.
There are many inexpensive refurbished or "off lease" computers available at very reasonable cost. Here is one example (scroll down):

under windows 7 - 8.1right click on your desktop and choose screen resolution set a very basic resolution like 1280x1024 @ 60Hz (frequency can be set under advanced options); you need to have a working monitor to set this and then reboot connecting your al1916w. if it still gives you that message, can be a bad cable or some hardware monitor issue.

When I try to load the new firefox, I get a message that I do not have certain priveleges.
You keep tempting me with updates. I run 4.0b8. When I try to put it in my application folder, I get the message that I do not have certain privileges.
If you get an error message that you do not have sufficient permissions to update then easiest is to 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 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
* Firefox 4.0.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

Since downloading OS X Mountain Lion my WordSearch9 will not open. I got a message saying that X11 was not supported and directed to a site to download an update "XQuartz" which I did. Now when I try to launch WordSearch9 I get a message "X11 cannot be found". I did follow the instructions to download and install XQuartz, but there still seems to be a problem. Anyone have an idea?
Your report indicates Mountain Lion, but your footer indicates Lion. I'll assume you're on 10.8.2; on the current Mountain Lion version.
Rebooting is fine.
The posted diagnostics look like there might be a problem with the Xquartz install, or it is not starting, or it's not authorized for the sandbox. (But I don't know enough about that to be certain.)
Try launching X11.app directly from your Applications > Utilities folder, and see if that works, or if shows any dialog boxes, or that reports any errors.
If you had an Xquartz kit installed and it's not the 2.7.4 (current) Xquartz kit, then please update to that version. (I'm assuming that site is where you got your Xquartz kit from, too.)
I'd also suggest also discussing this more directly with the Xquartz folks via mailing list or the IRC channel, or collecting up the Xquartz logs and then posting a bug over at the Xquartz site; here are the details on bug reporting for Xquartz. -
Every time I try to upgrade Firefox, I get a message that I'm not eligible to do that. Mac 10.5.8
I am currently running Firefox 3.5.3 and when I try to upgrade, the message is that I'm not eligible to install the new version. I've tried Firefox 5 and Firefox 6. Would 4 work for me? And where do I find it?
If there are 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 disk image (dmg) file to the desktop

Keep getting message saying current version of Safari does not support gmail, but I seem to have latest version (5.0.5). Is there an update I need?
Poroblem goes away when I use Chrome.Several older browser versions and ones that won't be upgraded without
a major system upgrade (a new OS X, if one is supported in hardware)
get similar messages when using Gmail & perhaps other google access.
If you want to experiment a little and the cost is zero, see the iCab browser
that is shareware but runs free with annoying prompt to buy a license, that
can be set to appear as Safari 6 to various web sites including Gmail. I've
tried it, and that does work. The iCab version that I found helpful works in
either PPC or Intel Mac OS X 10.5 ~ 10.7, there is a later version, too.
There is a recent iCab v.5.5 or an older iCab 5.1.1, since you could use
the more recent, I'd suggest that version over the older one which I have.
See http://www.icab.de/dl.php for iCab 5.5 (30.10.2014 or note a direct
DL link to that, here: iCab_5.5_Intel.zip -- either version is 32/64 bit.
Hopefully you can use the additional options without an OS X upgrade
to later system such as Lion. Sometimes an upgrade goes fine, but
there are good reasons to make a fully bootable clone on external HDD.
Then you could revert to a working copy of what you had before upgrade.
PS: If you are seeing two Safari versions in the Application folder, you
could use Get Info on each (separate, highlight one at a time) to find
what one is newest; then put the older one in Trash. Do not delete it yet.
The icon for Safari in the Dock may need to be replaced by dragging
the new Safari into the Dock, after dragging the old icon out of it...
but generally that part should not be necessary if only one Safari is
in the Applications folder. Be sure to not leave an app in the desktop
when it should be found by OS X in the Application folder.
The newer Safari should be in the Applications folder. Is it?
Check the Downloads folder in the Dock, to see where it went.
Sometimes, the browser's download info will show a history;
you can choose where downloads get stored.
Good luck & happy computing!

When starting Firefox, I get a message that website is not encrypted????
Message warns that website is not encrypted and not safe. Why would this happen and what is the danger?
Is that message in a pop-up?
Can you attach a screenshot?

I have a Mac with 10.5.8 I have just updated this account on the Mac after letting it alone for a year. Now I can not download and run the latest version of Firefox.'''F'''
Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox

Mac OSX 10.5.8 is a PowerPC computer. Your info says it should support a Firefox browser & I REALLY want one since I always liked Firefox better than Safari, but I get the message saying that my system doesn't support Firefox.
I'd be happy to purchase a disc in order to load the Firefox software. Thanks.Beginning with Firefox 4, Macs must have an Intel x86 processor (which you do NOT have; yours is a PPC Mac) '''''<u>and</u>''''' OSX 10.5 or higher

The good news is that Firefox 3.6.24 still supports OSX 10.4 and Macs with the PPC Mac architecture. The bad news is that support for the Firefox 3.6.x series is likely to end in the first quarter of 2012.
