I had to back up my computer and now Firefox won't start and all my important passwords saved on it are inacessible.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Most people have no problems with installing firefox as an upgrade, but there are quite a few things that can cause problems. Please have a look at the articles
* [[software Update Failed]] <-- clickable link (blue ) --
* [[firefox will not start]]
* [[firefox does not work]]
Post back after you read them and say what you tried. Have you ensured you used an admin account, possibly needing to check the UAC setting, and that security software is not blocking the changes. You should certainly try starting in firefox's [[safe mode]] either from a menu/icon option or by holding the shift key as you attempt to run firefox.
Is the browser icon you see on the desktop, and a firefox icon ?

LR CC has just been installed but when I click on the desktop icon nothing happens, what can I try?

Probably is
You need a minimum of 10GB of free space for normal operations
You need to address that first - the best soution may be to get an external drive formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) and drag your iPhoto library to it - depress the option key and launch iPhoto and point to that library
Hopefully that will let you get started - there may be additional repairs needed

I HAVE TO DOWNLOAD FIREFOX EACH TIME WHEN STARTING THE COMPUTER. WHEN I CLICK ON THE DESK ICON NOTHING HAPPENS AND IT ALSO DISAPPEARS FROM THE TASKBAR

the firefox icon disappears from the taskbar when the computer is switched off and clicking desktop icon does not help so every time I have to download firefox again through Explorer. I know that the program is stored somewhere on my computer but it's not clickable and requires new downloading.

I you see javascript: then that means that there is an onclick event attached to the link, so make sure that you aren't blocking JavaScript if such a link isn't working.

IPhoto will not open... I am Mac OS X Version 10.7.4. When I click on the IPhone icon nothing happens. Any suggestions? Thanks.

The IPhoto program will not open. I am using Mac OS X Version 10.7.4
When I click on the icon nothing happens.
Any suggestions? Thanks.

From that point on whenever I try to open iPhoto it tells me I must install "iPhoto library upgrader."
I installed this and now it just keeps telling me the same.
Now you have to go to the Applications/Utilities folder and double click on the updater to actually run it.
Deleting a photo from this version is exactly the same as other versions.

Itunes won't open on my computer. I uninstalled it, turned off the computer, rebooted, and re-installed but when I click onto the "itunes" icon nothing happens. When I plug in my iphone or ipod nothing happens as well?? HELP PLEASE.

Itunes will not open. I click onto the icon and it does nothing. I've uninstalled it twice and still nothing. Rebooted and nothing. I plug my iphone as well as my ipod and still nothing happens. Help please.

I, too, am having a serious problem with my iTunes.
It shows that iTunes is taking up usage on my computer but there is no error message when I try to open it. Nothing even happens. iTunes does not come up and I am searching for a possible answer.
We recently had a power outage but we got power back Sunday and when we did iTunes stopped working. Before this incident iTunes usually worked and when it didn't a simple re-start was used to fix it. However now I have tried that several times and it is not working.
Help?

When i click on the Firefox icon, a message about Torbutton appears. Wen i close the messag, i get a proxy error note.

I recently downloaded the latest version (15.0.1) of Firefox for my Mac. When i click on the Firefox icon, i get a display "Important Torbutton Information". It states "Torbutton is now always enabled. Click on the Torbutton for more information". I click on OK. I then get a display that states "THE PROXY SERVER IS REFUSING CONNECTIONS". I believe that i have two problems. 1. How do i fix the Proxy Server.
(2) How do i access Torbutton?
Someone has attempted to contact me by e-mail but it is not being accepted. My email address is: [email protected]

Which Mail icon? That in the Applications folder, that in the Dock, or some other? You do not have to quit your applications in order to shut down your computer (heck, you hardly ever need to shut down your computer).

I installed the latest version of icloud control panel (allegedly Windows 8 compatible) on my Windows 8 laptop. Installation successful, but on clicking on the icloud icon nothing happens. The same software worked on my Windows 7 PC.

Superb detail, thank you.
(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Hi bought lightroom, when i click on the download button nothing happens how do i get the download link?

Without system information and other details nobody can tell you much. Simply try another browser as a start.

I downloaded adobe cc and am trying to download ps, but when I click on the download tab nothing happens??

I downloaded adobe cc and am trying to download ps, but when I click on the download tab nothing happens??

Open up the Adobe CC desktop application. There should be an Install or Try button, not a Download button, next to PS in the CC desktop app list.
It sounds like you’re using a browser with https://creative.adobe.com/products That page should work, too, but clicking the blue Download button is going to try to start up a program locally on your computer and you may have answered Disallow at some point in the past or you may have some internet security program that blocks such things so nothing is starting up.
