Version 4 will not open with Mac G4 System10.5.8 Replace ver3 now no Firefox at all . How do I get back to Ver 3 or get Ver 4 to open

I down loaded Firefox 4 to my Mac Laptop G4 running operating system 10.5.8, 1.67ghz, 2gig ram. When install it in the applicatiion folder I replaced the version 3.6x that I was using. When I try to open Ver 4 I get an error message that iy cant open because it is not supported on this architecture. How do I get it to open or how do I get back to version 3.6x So i dont loose all my bookmark. For some reason Firefox on my backup disk says it has an error code and can not load

Sorry, but as you discovered, Firefox 4+ no longer support the PowerPC CPUs.
I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong with the reinstall. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, download and save Firefox 3.6 from here: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older
Does that work (i.e., pick up your profile automatically)?
There's also an unofficial build using Firefox 5 code adapted to the PPC platform. You can read about that here: http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/

Tried to download version 4, which replaced old 3.6, but I'm getting a message that version 4 will not work with Mac OS 10 (I have OS 10.4.11). How can I download previous Firefox version?

Firefox version 4 does not work with Mac OS 10.4.11. Is there a fix for this? Alternatively, how do I download an older version of Firefox that will work?

I have a an older IMAC as a second computer. I replaced an older version of Firefox with the new update. I had to do this because Firefox gave me a message that the older version would no longer work. The new version 4.0 will not open even after it is put in the applications folder. I get a message that says this version is not compatible with my Operating system. I don't want to change the OS at the moment.
Can anyone help? I'd like to just download an older version of Firefox if that is the only way to make this work, but I can't find an older version on the website.
Thanks very much.

Had the same problem; would have been nice if they had told s that we need an intel processor on our older Macs! I am up and running again.

Itunes version 11 will not open with windows 8 pro, itunes version 11 will not open with windows 8 pro

I install the new itunes version 11 .The program will not open. What is the problem . I have windows 8 pro.

I can't even get it to install. The installation process stalls at a certain point and nothing happens. I try to cancel and that doesn't work either.

Installed version 20. After it opens I cannot get my e-mail address.
So I exit Firefox and now it will not open.
Tried the automatic method,but the program would not install.
I cannot open firefox to try manual method

Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before reinstalling a fresh copy of Firefox.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 20.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will also lose your personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
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 in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

P1102W will not work with MAC OS 10.8.5

For a long time my P1102w worked flawlessly, wirelessly, with my home network (1 mac and 1 PC). Now it hardly works at all. When we hook it up and move the USB cable between computers it works - kind of. But with MAC I still get automated messages almost daily that it is missing software and wants to update. (Choosing yes causes it to download something, but no better results). I have given up on wireless. Can anyone tell me how I can get this working again?
I just want to:
1. Be able to print (have it connected) without constant messages that it needs an update or is missing something.
2. Ideally, I would like it to work wirelessly again.
All the problems started when I upgraded the MAC OS system.
Thanks for your help.
P.S. It is not uncommon for the printer to give false "out of paper" messages or other flashing lights when nothing is wrong. We often have to pause printing then resume to get it to print, even with the USB connected.

Hello charlottedk, and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I see you are having cartridge and printhead problems. I would like to try and assist.
I would suggest performing a power reset. Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
I would also recommend following the steps in this document on an 'Incompatible Print Cartridge' or 'Print Cartridge Problem' Message Displays on the Computer or P...
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

Version 4 will not open a .ft3 file by using the Fronimo software installed on my computer; all previous versions of Firefox would open the file.

I frequently us a website called gerbode.net. This site has many files with the extension of .ft3. These files can be opened with a program called "Fronimo" which I have on my computer.
All the previous versions of Firefox would open these files directly from the website by using my software...no longer. Actually, Firefox partially opens the text portion of the file. Internet Explorer still opens the files just fine. ''''''I would rather not use Internet Explorer'''''' as I have been a faithful Firefox user for years.

Easy Link 1.6 no longer works and latest version states will not work with my router

I have the WRT54G router (version 8.00.2 firmware) and the Easy Link Software I got with it no longer works correctly (version 1.6), saying I am not connected to the internet even though I clearly am connected. (I theorize that it tries to connect by pinging Linksys and I cannot ping Linksys using any method, so I think Linksys no longer accepts pings.) I downloaded the newest version, thinking it would work, and the forum states it will only work with a few routers that are more recent (I bought mine in Jan 2008.) Am I out of luck, with no verion working correctly? I appreciated the information that was found in the Easy Link Advisor software that I no longer have.

You are a legend!! I have spent countless hours uninstalling, reinstalling itunes, playing with firewall settings, reading articles on this problem!! I only have to un-sync my iphone 5 and then the airplay icon magically appeared!!! Maybe I have too many devices syncing via wi-fi, or maybe it is the Iphone syncing??
Whatever - one step and now I can enjoy my music through my house again!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you

Newest version 6 will not work with Digitalpersona fingerprint reader, I want to reinstall version 5. Can you send me a link or tell me where to find it? Thank you! Howard L. Medinger

Foolishly, I got a message to install the newest version of Firefox and did so without considering the consequences. Now, my Digitalpersona fingerprint reader will not work and I have many many programs that I use this feature. (It enables me to avoid typing username & passwords for different sites). I have tried to find the older version 5 to reinstall it, but so far have not been able to do it. All the Mozilla sites just offer version6. HELP!

Yes, of course.
Here is the link for all of the versions:
[ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/ Firefox All Releases]
Don't forget to hit 'Solved it'.
'''IMPORTANT NOTE: Don't forget that the previous versions might have security problems. For the latest security updates you MUST upgrade to latest version. That's what I STRONGLY recommend. If you really want to downgrade the recommended version is 3.6.21. Thank you for paying attention!'''

Please help. I have an iPad mini and an iPad Air. I have recently upgraded to an iPhone 5s. Since then my iPad mini will not sync with the other devises on my calendar. The calendar settings on all 3 devises look to be the same.

The devices do not sync with each other, never did. They sync to a server (iCloud, Google. Yahoo etc).
So which service do you use for your calendars

AdobeFlashPlayerInstaller_14_ltrosxd_aaa_aih.dmg Will Not Install with Mac OS 10.9.4

Hi all i was prompted to install the new flash update,
i tried to install at first i was getting an error with safari being open, when it was closed, i had forced quit the browser
and also checked Activity Manager to make sure it was shut.
after reading the adobe help information i uninstalled flash and restarted the computer, i started the process again
the safari problem did not come up apon the new install, But i had a new problem i get a general error at around 75-85%,
of the install.e
so now i have no flash player, i read the forums there is another thread that links, install_flash_player_osx-.dmg
some people saying that this works for OS 10.9.4, so i tried this option but now the file does not pass the download stage of the install at around 20%.
and the same old General error comes up again leaving me stuck, i am a stay at home dad that builds websites and i need Flash Player.
any help would be greatly welcomed.

@Kiwisox
Thank you for providing the files. I didn't get a chance to look at them yesterday, but will do so today.
@Odawg76,
Please start a new thread with your issue, as it appears to be different from Kiwisox. It is also difficult to respond to various users in the same thread and keep responses relevant to each individual as the forums software doesn't nest responses to individual users, but lists everything chronologically. Please follow the guidelines here, Read Before Posting: How To Get A Useful Answer To Your Question, when creating your new thread. I've actually not seen the "Safari can't connect to server" returned by the Flash Player installer. Please include a screenshot of the error. Instructions available here, How to post a screenshot in the forum. Thank you.
@nikondvr
You're issue appears to be different from Kiwisox. On Mac, simply closing an application window does not quit the application. You need to actually terminate Safari for Flash Player installation to proceed.
There are a few different ways to Quit Safari:
Quit Safari app from the Dock icon:
Mouse over the Safari icon in the Dock
Press CTRL and left-mouse click at the same time
A menu will display. Click Quit to terminate the application.
Use Activity Monitor to terminate Safari:
Launch Activity Monitor from Applications/Utilities/Activity Monitor
Ensure 'All Processes' are being listed (menu in the upper right)
Find and select Safari
Click the Quit Process button (upper left)
