Message: Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system.

Did you find the Firefox profile folder?

When I try to open Adobe InDesign, I get this message: Adobe InDesign terminated because of a serious problem/ fault. Start again to restore work in InDesign documents that has not been archived.

What can I do to start the program again, when it does not answer? The only message I get is that there is a serious problem.

Thanks a lot for your quick reply! However, it works again, after a restart!

Try going into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Then select the account on the right-hand side of that screen, select Account, then Advanced, Deleted Mailbox, and under On The Server tap the 'Trash' folder (or whatever it is called by yor provider) so that it gets a tick against it - then come out of that series of popups by tapping on the relevant buttons at the top of them and then see if you can delete emails

When I try to open i photo I get a message saying it can't open because it is either damaged or incomplete. I worked a few days ago. What can I do?

I have a MacBook Pro that is 2 years old and is up to date with updates. All of a sudden when I attempt to open i photo I get a message that says it is either damaged or incomplete and cannot open. Any ideas on how to fix this?

To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
*Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

I uninstalled Thunderbird but when i try to reinstall it I keep getting a message that the system must be rebooted to finalize the uninstall, over & over again.

I am using a laptop with Windows 7. For several weeks Thunderbird has been running very slowly & there are messages saying a script is running too long. So I decided to try to clean up all the mail boxes, but still get the messages...so then I decided to uninstall Thunderbird and this worked correctly & I rebooted the system (as it asked me to). But when I try to re- install Thunderbird I keep getting a message that the system must be rebooted to finalize the uninstall. I did this but the same thing happens each time I try to install...so now I have no mail application on my laptop. Most frustrating but fortunately I have an iPad...
Can someone please advise? Thanks in advance

you original problem is almost certainly your anti virus, I would also hazard a guess your new one is as well.
Thunderbird does not require a reboot on install, or uninstall.
try restarting the operating system in '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safe_mode safe mode with Networking]'''. This loads only the very basics needed to start your computer while enabling an Internet connection.

When I try to open firefox, it says that a session is already running and I need to close it before I can run another session, I cannot find the session that's running, what can I do?

This happens after I have used firefox and exited the program. When I try to reuse the program I get this message. Is there a setting within firefox causing this or ??? I have tried to locate the session running without any luck. Would appreciate any help. I have uninstalled the program and then reinstalled it, but nothing has changed it continues to malfunction.

Once you have obtained an external drive and connected it you will 'clone' your internal drive to it.
Download Carbon Copy Cloner (it is not free but there is a fully functional trial version which is). Use it to clone your internal drive to your external drive. When that is done you will reboot from the clone and use Disk Utility to erase the internal drive (choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled)) as the format (this is normally preset, but check). Make sure to give the external drive a 'distinctive' name, don't want to get drives mixed up in this process.
Once that is done you will use Carbon Copy Cloner (from the clone) to restore the external to the internal.

When I try to open google body I get a message saying that WebGL is not initializing properly. Can you help?

I am trying to use Google Body but I get an error message that WebGL is not initializing properly. Can you help?

It says: WebGL Renderer (WebGL unavailable)
What is the value of the WebGL prefs (webgl.disabled and others) on the about:config page?
Are any webgl.* prefs bold (user set)?
You can try to force webgl (webgl.force-enabled -> true) to see if that has any effect.
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold(user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.

When I try to open pdf documents I get a message telling me to open adobe reader and accept the end user license agreement. Can anyone help?

This happens ever since I have upgraded to the latest reader for iOS.

Adobe Reader for iOS does NOT show an end user license agreement. It must be something else.
shawiya,
What is the version number of your Adobe Reader?
Would you take a screenshot and attach it to your next reply? On iOS, you can take a screenshot by pressing the Sleep/Wake button while holding down the Home button.
How do I insert an image or video and attach a file?
We should be able to tell a lot about your problem from the screenshot.

Am I able to use Microsoft Office when i switch users on my Macbook Air? I can find the applications, Excel Word etc, but when I try to open them it keeps taking me to a software update for Microsoft Office. Any tips on what to do???

I use 2 accounts, one for work and one for personal.
I have Microsoft Office, in my applications, and I can find it in my work user account, but when I try to open it, it keeps doing start up for Auto updates. and wont open the application. It works fine in my personal (Admin) account which is where I did migration when I bought the laptop. And I've looked on here for similar problems, and everyone says if it's in your applications it should work, but I can't open mine.
Anyone know what I can do?

Go to the main Library folder and look for a folder called Application Support / Microsoft.
There are a few folders in there, and you may have to do some digging. In one of them (mine is called MAU2.0), there should be a file called Microsoft Autoupdate. Open it.
It looks like this:
check the button for manual updates.
That should let you open the apps without triggering an automatic update.
