When I try to update firefox to the latest version, it comes up with a corrupt file error and won't install. Same for adobe flash player.

It seems that as of yesterday 05/10/13, anything that is downloaded will not install. Tried updating to the latest version of firefox, but that give the error of corrupt files.

It is possible that anti-virus software is corrupting downloaded files or is otherwise interfering with downloading files.
Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.

Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.

HT201303 I tried to change my email address on the apple ID but now when I try to buy an app or film it still comes up with my old email address and won't accept my password to buy anything. My old email address is no longer in use and can not be access

I tried to change my email address ID , but now when I try to buy an app or music it still shows my old email address and won't accept my password which I did not change. What can I do as I can't download anything ?

What id shows in Settings > iTunes & App Store ? If it's the old one then tap on it and log out of it and then log in with the updated version

My DVR security sofware that I access remotely uses a "dvr .ocx" file....when I try it in Firefox , either the latest non beta (3.6.1.5) or the new beta version (4.0 rc) it will NOT work as it says the plugin is missing... it works in IE 8,but not IE9...

My machine is Top of the range (my Company builds them so it had better be :) )
Amd 1100t , 8gb ram , Windows 7 64 bit etc, etc...
The is not a hardware problem , but a software problem with FF...Any help would be appreciated as I hate using IE 8 for anything at all :( but I have to keep it on my machines just to run my remote security cameras at my Computer shop ???
Original question...as question length is limited ...not very bright that limit by the way :(

As I own a Computer company I am fairly computer literate but cannot find a plugin that allows this to work in Firefox.... but I would have expected it to work in the new Firefox :(
All the best, Brett :)

The longer this thread continues, the more ancillary comments you throw in that aren't directly pertinent to your problem with your DVR software not working with Firefox 4.0. Sorry, I don't intend to continue with this discussion.
I do agree that ''something'' needs to be done better with regards to plugins for Firefox, but I do disagree with you as to whose responsibility that ''something'' is.

I updated the latest version of iOS software on my Macbook Pro and now when I try to open up iPhoto it says that I need to update the latest version. But when I go to update on iTunes, it says the latest version is unavailable to the U.S. I wouldn't mind leaving it be but I can't access any of my photos. What do I do?

iOS is on iPhones and iPads.
Are you using an iPhone or iPad?

Adobe Flash is not working no matter what I do - I have updated Firefox to the latest version and Flash to the latest version to no avail - what can be done?

I have used your help processes and done everything that is suggested - repeatedly. I don't know what else to say. Whenever I go to a site requiring the use of adobe flash, the system freezes up for a couple of minutes or more and then it says that Flash has crashed. I have sent the crash reports multiple times. When I use Internet Explorer, I have no issues with Adobe Flash. I have Windows 7 64bit installed.

I had loads of problems with iTunes, could see all but it would not respond at all.
I downloaded Abexo free registry cleaner and Errorkill registry cleaner free for limited period with restrictions. I ran both and got rid of all the junk in the registry and then installed QuickTime standalone...all problems solved. May need to reinstall itunes AFTER Quicktime if this does not work.
Hope this helps.

When I try to update or download a newer version I get a box that says file is corrupt, why?

Everytime I try to download a newer version of Mozzilla Firefox it starts to download, then displays a run box, and when you push the run button, a box appears and says file is corrupt. I recently installed windows 7 and I have slow internet.

Any apps that she downloaded onto the device are tied to her apple ID. They cannot be transferred to another account. To update those apps, you would either need her password, or you could delete the apps and download them using your own apple id.

Since updating Firefox to the current version it takes a long time to start up and runs VERY slowly no matter what time of day i log in. Help, please!

I am running Windows XP. It takes more than a minute to bring up the home page and about the same time to bring up any search results. Firefox used to run much more quickly - just a few seconds at most to open program.

The "Latest Headlines" on my Bookmark Bar are a month old and won't update to current stories. What can I do to fix this. I haven't changed any settings.

Firefox 3.6.28 For MacBook Pro 10.4.11
I've haven't had a problem with the News stories updating to current stories until now. NOT very Techie.

Well, first off, you are running a very ancient version of Mac OS, you should update to at least 10.5, preferably 10.6 if your computer can support it. This shouldn't cost you all that much money. It will probably at most cost you about $40 to fully update your computer (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4517588?tstart=0). the benefits of upgrading are numerous, but mainly will provide you increased security, performance and stability. Right now your computer is not safe to use online.
After you update, update Firefox [[Update Firefox to the latest version]] and your plugins (https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/)
Note, this won't work until you update Mac OS X

When I try to update Firefox it repeatedly says Firefox must be closed to proceed with install. I even get the same message when I try to uninstall the existing version of firefox. How do I close Firefox???

When I try to update Firefox it repeatedly says Firefox must be closed to proceed with install even tho Firefox is closed. I get the same message when I try to uninstall the existing version of Firefox. How do I close Firefox??? The same thing happens when I try to update other programs. When a program is off what else do I have to do to turn it off??

If you get an error message that you do not have sufficient permissions or have other problems with updating to update 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

When I try to start Firefox, I get a message that it is already running but not responding and I can't run another Firefox at the same time. I uninstalled and reinstalled. No change. Tried various other suggestions. Help!!

When I try to start Firefox, I get a message that it is already running, but not responding and that I should close it before trying to run another Firefox. But I cannot find a way to close Firefox program that is not running as far as I can see. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, but that did not work. I've tried various other things, but no luck. I thought programs should stop when the computer is turned off, but that didn't work either.

How are you opening the Profile Manager?

When I try to open video files purchased through iTunes in Quicktime, I get the message: 'Error 23132: an unknown error occurred. This never happened until I updated iTunes, but when I try to go back to the previous version, I still get the message.

When I try to open video files purchased through iTunes in Quicktime, I get the message: 'Error 23132: an unknown error occurred. This never happened until I updated iTunes, but when I try to go back to the previous version, I still get the message. It is more convenient for me to play videos in Quicktime since iTunes is such a memory hog. Please help.

You may get better results if you switch to this alternate version: iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) and, if needed, reinstall QuickTime. The new (nearly) all 64-bit version doesn't seem to play well with QuickTime. Perhaps if DRM authentication is required QuickTime needs to be able to see something that is part of the older 32-bit code.

I have iTunes open in Windows XP and get an error 45048 message when I try to update apps thru the store. How can I fix this? I have reinstalled iTunes twice.

I have iTunes, latest version, open in Windows XP and get an error 45048 message when I try to update apps thru the store. How can I fix this? I have reinstalled iTunes twice but problem continues.

Try contacting iTunes via email to check if there is an issue with the account. go to apple.com/support/itunes
Click on iTunes Store account and billing and select inquiries. On the right side click on "email us".
Before doing that trying viewing your account information first. Open the iTunes on you mac, look at the menu and select store and select view my account. Try removing the card (this is only applicable if you don't have a pending charges with iTunes) and hit done. Sign out, quit iTunes and sign back in and try updating the apps again.

I keep getting notified I have an update available but when I try to update I get the following msg ,"You have updates available for other accounts". I only have one account with apple and purchased the software when I got my macbook in Aug 2012.

I keep getting notified I have an update available but when I try to update I get the following msg ,"You have updates available for other accounts To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it.". I only have one account with apple and the software was preinstalled when I purchased my macbook in Aug 2012 with that account. Has anyone had this problem or know how to find out what account apple needs?

You log into the App store using the same Apple ID you used to set the computer up, verify that none of your apps are hidden and that they have all be accepted and then download and install the update
for help contact the App store support - link is on the right ot the App store window

The App Store says I have updates for I-Photo and Garage Band.

Both apps came with my computer and as far as I know I only have one Apple account. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Thanks for you reply. I'm 99% positive that I'm using the user id and password that I used to set up my computer. That's why I'm stumped. I read the solution someone else suggested (type your user name without @gmail and create a new password. When I tried it, I was asked for my birthday. It didn't recognize it. I know I got my birthday correct. Oh well...
