Updates won't start downloading - get an MSN Search box instead

new computer....trying to update softward after installing ipod mini with my original disk. updates will not begin but i get a very small msn search box instead. we have no spyware or viruses according to my security software.
anybody have a clue? i sure don't!

what kind of security software do you have on that Computer? Run an ewido scan. It is a free malware scanner and removal program that is excellent. Use it in conjunction with your antivirus and spyware programs. Download it here at: http://www.ewido.net/en/

  • Can't get the Google search box in toolbar

    I've been working on getting my new iMac 27" with Mountain Lion functional, and now I've run into a problem I don't seem to find others are having -- I can't get the Google search box into the toolbar. It just won't go there. I've dragged the thing from the View>Customize Toolbar, and I've also tried dragging the whole toolbar, and nothing sticks. I get a little green plus symbol, as if it's adding it to the toolbar, release, and then...nothing. As much as I like Duck Duck Go, there are still things I need the old Goog for, and I'm bewildered by why this won't stick. There don't seem to be any actual settings for it either, just the drag and drop.
    This whole setup has been beyond frustrating. I wish I'd never upgraded.

    Safari 6
    Apple combined Google search bar with URL address bar in Safari 6.
    Apple calls it Smart Search Field.
    There is no more a separate search field. You enter the Google search in the unified address bar.
    Best.

  • Getting the "Internet Search" box when opening an email in AOL. The AOL email blinks and then I get the "Internet Search".

    Problem with reading AOL emails. When I try to read an AOL email (old or new) the AOL email appears for a split second and then I get an "Internet Search" box and cannot see the email.
    I had read that some have seen a similar problem getting a Bing Search box and they were able to delete that add on to correct it, but I have no add ons at all.

  • Downloaded firefox 5.0.1 last night, worked fine, Turned computer on today, Mozilla Firefox, it won't start. Get error message, Error: Platform version '5.0' is not compatible with minVersion =5.0.1 maxVersion =5.0.1" What do I need to do to fix it?

    We downloaded firefox 5.0.1 last night, began working with it. It did fine. After about an hour, I turned off my computer. When I turned on my computer, I click on Mozilla Firefox and it won't start. I get this error message, " Error: Platform version '5.0' is not compatible with minVersion >=5.0.1 maxVersion <=5.0.1" from XUL Runner. What do I need to do to fix it?

    The updater wasn't able to update all the files and some were left as older versions.<br />
    Do a clean reinstall.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version.
    * Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    * 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 in the Firefox Profile 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.

  • App Store won't start download the OS X Yosemite free upgrade

    I have a MacBook Pro 13-inch mid 2012. My current MacOS is OS X 10.6.8.
    I didn't get to upgrade to OS X 10.9 when there was the free upgrade because I forgot to download it.
    Now I want to download the OS X 10.10 but when I click the "Get" button or "Free Upgrade" button, the license agreement won't come out and the download won't start. It just stay the same even after I clicked the button.
    What should I do?

    I am having the same problem. I have a 15" MBP from mid-2010 running 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard).
    All updates have been applied.
    When I go to the App Store, locate Yosemite and click on "download", nothing happens.
    As an experiment, I tried installing other free apps from the App Store - I tried Kindle and
    Memory Clean. Same issue - I click on "Install" and nothing happens.
    Still digging - open to advice.
    Thanks

  • Iphoto 9.4.2 update won't start on os x 10.7.5

    Every time I open software update and I click on install updates, it begins the download for iPhoto 9.4.2 (currently the only update I have left), but then it stops and says that it is corrupt so it can't finish the download. I have attached an image of the exact message I get.
    Any ideas on how to fix?
    Steps taken:
    -reset PRAM and SMC
    -verify and repair disk permissions
    -restarting computer

    Found the answer thanks to another post on the Apple Forums. The iTunesHelper app in Login Items was an older location of an older iTunes which was somehow not replaced.
    Replacing it was not entirely easy. I could remove it easily enough, but because the current iTunesHelper.app lives inside the iTunes.app bundle, you cannot navigate from System Preferences - Users&Groups - Login Items as it won't open iTunes.app to look for other apps inside.
    So, I opened Terminal.app and typed
    open /Applications/iTunes.app/Contents/MacOS
    this opens a Finder window. Here you find the correct iTunesHelper.app. That one can be dragged to the login items in System Preferences.

  • Won't start up, gets to the avi exporter on startup and crashes

    Everything was working fine, then I went and downloaded a shareware video converter to convert mov files to
    avi, now elements 8 won't start up.  It goes through the startup process, and when it gets to starting loading exporter AVI.prm it crashes everytime.  I've reloaded the program 2, and I've ran a windows upgrade (reload) once, and removed the converter program.  Any suggestions?

    The first thing that I would look into would be to create a System Restore Point for today, and then shut-down the computer. Now, boot into Safe-Mode and chose to go to a System Restore Point, from before you installed the converter, back when things ran properly and test.
    Good luck,

  • 3.6.7 update won't finish downloading

    Using FF 3.6.6 on XP SP3. FF started downloading the update. After about an hour (dial up connection) the progress bar was completely filled and the dialog box said only a few more seconds. However, the downloading had stopped and the dialog box remained open. Finally, I just quit FF.
    Now whenever FF is open, in the Help menu it says "Resume Downloading Firefox 3.6.7..." When I select this, the dialog box says "Connecting to update server..." but it never connects and the downloading never starts.
    How can I find the file that was downloaded and get rid of it so I can download a new copy?
    == Operating system ==
    XP SP3

    Lou
    I followed the instructions in [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/forum/1/627335 this thread], see the post from Costas Athan, and after closing Firefox 3.6.6 then deleting the updates folder plus the two xml files and restarting Firefox I was able to update successfully.

  • CS2- Adobe Updater won't start

    I have Photoshop CS2 and have recently started to use it after a long hiatus.  When I start it, I get a message that Adobe Updater would not start, and something (the updater?) should be reinstalled.  CS2 seems to be working perfectly.  What should I do, besides ignoring that message?
    Also, can someone tell me what the latest version of the Adobe Raw Converter is which is compatible with CS2?

    I'll be happy to answer your questions in the Camera Raw forum or the DNG forum, respectively.

    Correct, they are NOT.  You would need at least ACR 4.1, which does NOT run in CS2.
    bobgoldstein wrote:

    Correct again.  Use the DNG Converter 5.3.  It is a stand-alone application and you should always use the latest version.

  • IPod crashed during updater - Won't start, weird icon

    Hi!
    I attached my iPod to my computer this morning to put more tunes on it. The computer recognized my unit, but told me I needed to update the software, so I did. After I clicked on Update, I was told to plug it in to an outlet to complete the update. Once I did that, the apple logo showed up and then I saw a new icon -briefly- that looked like it was directing me to connect to USB. I cannot find this icon in ANY troubleshooting or technical materials.
    Now, my iPod won't start. I did the 5 "r" and tried to manually reset 8 times. It still won't start!!!
    Help, please!!!!!!

    If you have a FireWire cable, you can try starting up your Mac in FireWire Target Disk Mode. (Hold the "t" key down at startup.) Then plug your Mac into hers with a 6-pin to 6-pin FireWire cable. Your hard drive should appear on her Desktop. Then you can use her Disk Utility to verify/repair your hard drive. Note that it would be best if she was running the same version of Mac OS X that you have installed on your computer. For example, you don't want to try to repair a Mac OS X 10.4.x hard drive from a Mac with Mac OS X 10.3.x.
    You can find out about FireWire Target Disk Mode here:

  • QT7 gives codec update error and starts downloading .exe file on a Mac...

    I have problems playing some .mov files on my Mac with QT X, it says I need QT 7 so I installed that, but then QT 7 comes up with an error: codec needs updating and it starts to download QuickTimeupdateKB337585.exe
    I have Perian, Flip4Mac installed and also divx and xvid components in the /Library/Quicktime folder. How can I find out what codec I'll need and how do I install it in the QT 7 folder?

    PowerPC® G3, G4, or G5 processor
    Mac OS X v.10.2.8 through v.10.3.8 (10.3.4 through 10.3.8 recommended)

    I suspect that many developers are ending app support for older devices.  It's probably time for an upgrade.
    While that may be true... it's simply a mis-informed response at this time.
    The iPhone 4 and 3GS are both still fully supported, as is the 3G.
    If you have nothing useful to add, it is generally best to not comment.
    To the OP:
    Does the device have a functional Internet connection, either Cellular data or Wi-Fi?
    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • I Mac won't start -- we get apple logo with spinning wheel, question mark that disappears and then a blank blue screen

    My daughter's old I Mac won't start. It is not backed up.  We want to get some things off of it if we can.  
    When we turn it on, we get the Apple logo with spinning wheel for awhile, then a question mark briefly and then a sky blue blank screen.  Is there any hope of getting this to work?  This computer is out of warranty.  Does it seem that if we reinstall the Operating System we might find old data?  

    First try restarting with the original install disc an run Disk Utility to repair the drive. If you have to re install the OS make sure you select archive and install or else everything will be lost.
