When I clicked on Firefox, the update bar started but when it stopped Firfox would not open. The blue screen of death popped up and said something about a new installation. We restarted the computer and now Firefox will not open. Help!

When I clicked to open Firefox the update bar appeared and an update loaded. Usually when this happens Firefox will open up when the update is finished. This time it did not open. when I clicked on the icon again the blue screen opened and said something about a new installation and if this was the first time you have seen this screen restart your computer and try again. I restarted the computer and when I clicked on the Firefox icon the "hour glass" would appear like it was trying to open but it never would open. I don't know what else to do.

See below -- the way I asked the question the first time may not be clear. This post was a goof but I can't figure out how to delete it

    I downloaded a newer version of iTunes, 10.7. Now it will not let me purchase anything. I get an error code -42408. What does this mean and how do I fix? I have edited and revised all my names and account settings, checked payment. Quit, restarted. Help please, I'm going crazy without my iTunes. I'm on a MacBook Pro.

    Found this item it may help
    OK, I have fixed it here. Here's what I did:
    quit iTunes
    trashed ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iTunes.plist
    started iTunes, and authorised my account
    Worked straight away after that !

  • After updating my ipad mini retina to 8.1.2, my device experiences blue screen of death at random times.

    After updating my ipad mini retina to 8.1.2, my device experiences blue screen of death at random times. It is so annoying plus there are applications that keeps on crashing such as brother in arms by gameloft so i have no choice but to reinstall it all over again.. But after quite some time the apps will crash again.. Argh it's a cycle. so annoying..

    Hi  It sounds like a bug. Go to settings iCloud backup over your WiFi Then Restore back to Factory Settings. After Restore use same Apple ID then you will get all your apps & data back. Do Restore over your WiFi. Since ios 7 Almost everything can be done over WiFi you don't need to use your PC. Cheers Brian

  • My Itunes update hung up and wouldn't complete. I had to power cycle the computer. Now Itunes will not open.

    My Itunes update hung up (for an hour) and wouldn't complete. I had to power cycle the computer. Now Itunes won't open / start.

    In iTunes go to the Edit menu, then preferences.  Click on the "Devices" tab. In there you will see a device backups section. If there is nothing there then you did not backup to your computer first.  It is also possible that you were backing up to iCloud before updating.  That is harder to check with an iPhone that is logged into your account.

  • I was installing a new update on my MacBook Pro. With only 20% left it said "an unknown error had occured, please restart your computer." Now that I've restarted - I can't log in!

    Ok, my MacBook haven't had any issues earlier, until today. At first Safari was acting kind of weird in that sense that a lot of letters were missing when you went on certain webpages, so I thought of updating since an alert-window popped up and notified that new updates were ready to be installed. So I opened up App Store through my Applications-folder and selected update.
    First it asked if I wanted to connect my Mac to a powersource but since I had charged the battery to 79% I didn't think it was necessary. So I continued, computer restarted and began installing the updates.
    Everything went fine until it was approximately three minutes left. An error message popped up and said something like "An unknown error has occured. Please restart your computer and try again". I pressed OK, rebooted my computer and when it asked for my password I typed it in. After I pressed OK, the computer indicated it was the wrong password. I tried multiple times and sometimes with different passwords... so now I can't simply log in! What's the problem?
    TL;DR - Updated mac, failed after five minutes and now I can't log back in since "I have the wrong password"

    Forgot Your Account Password

        Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.

  • I have a MacBook Pro, it recently started freezing upon startup. It would get to a blue screen and just sit there. I've tried booting in safemode to run disk repair and still doesnt help. If I do manage to get past the blue screen, it still freezes

    My mac keeps freezing upon startup. It will get to the blue screen and promptly freeze. If I manage to get past the blue screen, and open up youtube on google chrome, it will freeze before it loads youtube. I've tried safeboot and disk repair, nothing seems to work. I even tried to factory reset it but it wont connect to my internet when I reboot with power + option.. any ideas?

    This can be used to boot the machine and delelte enough files to get it to boot normally.
    .Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
    Read about storage drive so you can store your extra stuff.
    Most commonly used backup methods
    Also here to see how a full boot drive slows the machine down
    Why is my computer slow?

  • Firefox Update for Mac pops up, I click OK, but NOTHING happens. The "connecting" bars starts, but goes on and on ad infinitum.

    There's a message telling me a certain add-on (which I can't identify) "will be disabled" for the time being.
    I hide the pop- up, but half an hour later, it's apparent no update has been received.

    If you have 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 DMG file to the desktop
    * Firefox 5.0.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
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

  • Firefox has turned into a blackhole and is COMPLETELY unresponsive. I can't restart my computer and force quit doesn't do anything. Please Help

    No article or FAQ on this website is even moderately relevant to this seemingly unsolvable problem.

    All the articles pose solutions that require you to perform an action within Firefox; which isn't very helpful, given that my Firefox window is a black rectangle with a white box in the middle.
    It might also be helpful to know that this "blackhole" occurred when I was about to view a YouTube video..
    Any other suggestions?

  • When I hit the Itunes Store, the loading bar starts, but then doesn't show anything i could purchase. What should i do?

    My Itunes store on my computer isn't working.  It will start loading but then stop and return to the apple sign at the top and then have the itunes sign at the bottem.  I need to fix my account!

    Again, please tell us what operating system your computer is running - the model number of the computer does not tell us anything other than it's not a Mac - and the version of iTunes which can find under the Help menu -> About iTunes.
    As to posting a screen shot, if you wish to do so, reply to a message, click the "camera" icon in the reply toolbar, and select the image you wish to post.

    Rebuild your iPhoto Library.

  • I've already restarted my computer and created a new user, but my IPhone 4 still isn't coming out of the "restore" setting; anybody know how?

    I've recently tried to restore my IPhone4. For some reason, its not working properly (i.e my phone won't come out of restore). I've already restarted my computer, and created a new user account on my computer.The message that keeps popping up says Error 1604 which i know has somethign to do with the USB port but i don't know what specifically. Any Help??

    Error 1604
    This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode, put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for the error.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
    The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

  • ITunes 8.2 update Blue Screen of Death on Windows XP

    I installed the iTunes update on a Dell Inspiron 1500 XP Home Edition computer and now the computer will not boot; it goes directly to the Blue Screen of Death. I cannot go into safe mode as it also gets the BSOD. Is there any work around for this? That is pretty bad that a software installation can effectively break a computer to the point of having to reinstall the whole operating system!

    Ta very much, Jason! That's useful to know.
    These sorts of outdated-software clashes can hang around for the longest time. Back before you came on board, one of the common causes of BSODs was a version of Roxio Easy CD creator (5.0 I think ...) that wasn't actually compatible with XP. If you had it on board, it quite was plausible that you couldn't get your XP PC to boot ... but for some folks the problem lay dormant, and their first sign of trouble with it was when the PC had iTunes installed on it, and the PC started blue-screening if they plugged in an iPod, inserted a CD, or sometimes just tried to launch iTunes.
    Used to catch in particular folks who had upgraded their OS from ME to XP.
    Mercifully extinct or vanishingly rare now ... but it kept showing up for me here in 2005 through 2007 ...

  • Two PCIe-6537 read error and blue screen of death

    Hi all
    I am reading two PCIe-6537 at 20MHz sample rate acquiring all 32 lines each with externally supplied clock and external trigger.
    When operating separately, no problem, but when two are read I get
    a) on average of 25% of time error reading the data (time out error but happening before the actually time set by timeout, i.e. immediately after trigger)  and
    b) a blue screen of death after 1h or so of constant operation.
    I have a feeling a) and b) are related and LV causes the system crash with so many errors. NI support seems to think otherwise. 
    I am using Dell Studio XPS 8100 and I have done all the firmware updates for the Chipsets etc. It has
    not changed anything.
    Changing single line to whole port reading does not change anything. 
    Any ideas what to try else?

    Hello Pawel,
    I have looked over the service request you mentioned about acquiring 2 PCIe-6537 at 20MHz sampling rate on all 32 lines. In order to narrow down this issue, I think it would be best to try only acquire from both cards without doing any triggerring etc. Also when performing this test, I would only want to acquire from 8 channels on both cards to see if this reproduces it. If this works, we can slowly add more elements to narrow down what the issue is and make us more effective to solve the problem.
    I also wanted to ask if you have tried this setup on another machine and if it worked.
    Along with this, have you tried to create two Digital Tasks in MAX and try to acquire for the same amount of time to see if the issue reoccurs here? This would tell us if this problem is connected to the driver/computer or LabVIEW.
