When down loading updates, im ask what program to open it up with

when down loading the updates my computer ask me what program i want to open it with?

Firefox updates automatically - see [[Updating Firefox]] - but if you want to update to the latest Firefox version (currently 9.0.1) by downloading the installer .dmg file, just save it to your computer then start the installation by double-clicking the .dmg file. See [[Installing Firefox on Mac]] if you need more help.

  • I downloaded the update and it asks what program to use to install it?

    It downloads the update, then ask what program I want to use to install the download. It gives me the list of software; i.e., Adobe, Office, Notepad, etc.
    So - what software do I use to install it since it is not automatically installing the update itself.
    Thanks, Pat

    Maybe it didn't get the EXE extension.  If it does not have the extension, put one on it and see if that helps.
    If it has a DMG extension, it is the Mac version of the software.

  • Trying to download a FIrefox and when I click on run it asks what program I want to use to open with so I cant finish install

    I've been using FF for years and lately have been having issues with internet access. Worked through the troubleshooting suggestions and got it working, but last night FF couldn't connect to internet after something updated and my Norton anti virus was gone too and I couldn't fix it. The last resort was to delete my ff and download new, so I did. When I clicked on run I got a pop up asking what program I wanted to open it with and of course nothing worked. By then it was 1:30 am so I quit. Today I'm having the same issue and I'm at the end of my rope trying to figure out what to do. I'm so disgusted and can't stand it.

  • When i open firefox, i get asked what program i want to use to open this file.

    when i open firefox, i get asked what program i want to use to open this file. i select firefox to open firefox, and it opens to - Index of file:///C:/Documents and Settings/HP_Administrator/- instead of my home page. this has been going on for months. today i updated my kaspersky intrnet security 2011 and since then fire fox will only open in firefox safe, even if i shut down kaspersky. IE opens with no problems.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    * [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    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")

Also is there a way to kill the apps that u have used throughout the day the battery doesn't last long at all ??????

    - How did you dlete stuff from the iPod? If you have a 1G or 2G iPod and deleted the stuff by going to Settings>Genera.>Reset>Erase aall contents and settings without being connected to a power source, the battery dies before he erase was comleted since it can take hour.
    - In any event try the following:
    - Connect to a chaging sour for three hours.
    - Reset the iPod and then connect to the computer and try to restore va iTunes.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next try placing the iPod in recovery moe and then try to restore. For recovery mode:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    - Last try DFU made and restore.

    If I have redeemed my my gift and the balance is updated in the App Store and I still can not down load apps...what could the issue be?  I keep getting this error message "Your Purchase Could Not Be Completed". Then it refers me to apple support.

    If you haven't already contacted iTunes Support then you can do so via this link and ask them why the message is appearing (we are fellow users here on these forums, we won't know why) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

    I downloaded an update for my Safari web browser to "snow leopard". When I click on the .dmg file, a window opens up with a .pkg file but when I click on the .pkg file I get a prompt saying that it doesn't know what program to open it with.

    I suspect if you're trying to open a file in 08 that's been opened in 09 the file has been updated to 09 and will not open in 08.

  • In email, when I click on a "pdf" file, how do i get it to just open instead of being asked what program I want to use?

    When I get a "pdf" in an email and I click on the "pdf" button, I am always asked what program I want to use. How do I get the file to just open automatically?

    You can specify in Windows what program to use for a given extension, for instance Adobe Acrobat Reader, for files with PDF extension. How you can connect the program and the extension, is described in this article; [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Change-which-programs-Windows-uses-by-default "Change which programs Windows uses by default"]
    In Firefox PDF links get opened automatically with Acrobat reader. When clicking on PDF attachments in Thunderbird, however, you will need to associate the program and the extension as described in the above article.
    Hope it helps!

    Which version of Mac OS are you using?  Have you ever been able to download and install any of the applications?  What type of Internet connection are you using?  Finally what version of the Adobe Application Manager do you have installed?  You can locate it in Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers/Adobe Application Manager/core.

    This sounds like you are using Photoshop Elements, and the Photoshop Elements forum would be best at answering that.

    I just installed Firefox a few days ago and has been really good. Today my computer will not open Firefox, it keeps wanting to know what program to open in.

    Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.<br />
    You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.<br />
    Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.<br /><br />

    You can remove the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\) manually if you can't uninstall.
