When I was updating my phone to iOS 5.1.1, the update progress bar just froze right at the beginning and I decided to switch off itunes after almost 2 hours of waiting and no movement. Now my phone's been wiped...

and I've been forced to restore it back to factory settings cuz itunes did not show me a "restore from backup" option, progress bar still not moving.... it's been another hour....

Well since nobody could really help with my situation, figured I'll write down what happened so it may help a few people in need. My restore freeze problem was solved by removing then reinstalling itunes again since I had an older version of itunes and was unable to update without doing so. The "restore from backup" option came back after the factory setting restore and for some reason the whole process only went smoothly when I tried doing it on another computer. Anyhow everything is back to normal now.

How can I remove the Loading Progress Bar that pops-up at the bottom of the screen and relocates its self every time i try to mouse over it ?

I noticed that the latest beta of Firefox has brought a new feature, namely that grey box that pops up when you load a new page and displays the progress : loading... transferring .. and so on. I find that very annoying. How can I remove it ?
I have tried from the Customize panel... but I haven't found anything related to that.

@cor-el: Thank you for your help. Got the issue fixed.
For those who are interested in a quick fix for this, go under (user profile depending on what OS you are using)\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\chrome , create a css file named userChrome.css (you have an example there... ) and paste in this code :
@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul");
#statusbar-display { display: none !important; }
Not sure if it's really correct, but it removed that annoying Status-bar, so I'm satisfied with it.

I recently purchased an ipad2 and it will automatically turn off about every 3 hours or so and it is very hard to turn it back on... Any advice?

can anyone help?

Did you purchase new or used? Is it fully charged when this happens?
Not normal. Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

Finally got through to tech support and found someone who seemed to know what was going on, he walked me through and using appleid.applesupport got me to a point where i could get a new password for the apple id that kept showing up.
I think you were on the right trail and I want to say thanks for your help. Much appreciated

The flashlight in my iphone 4s keeps lighting even when it is switched off. I went through many articles and in those was mentioned presence of humidity could be one reason, but my phone was not prone to such conditions & it is the condition when i took it from its pouch. Kindly help

If the phone is offline there is no way to track it or send a message to it. You can place it in lost mode to lock it and send it a message (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmfc0f0165), but this will not take place until the phone goes back online, if it ever does. If it does, you will get an email informing you.

You have outdated iOS software so without upgrading it first there is little you can do. A restore will force you to upgrade as 5.1.1 is no longer signed.

I purchased Lightroom 5 in December 2014. It was my understanding that I would get free upgrades when new versions come out. I attempted to download LR 6 and it said that the download was happening but there was no progress bar showing. I left the downloading screen open for 3 hours but nothing happened.

Robert,
You can purchase Lightroom 6 as a part of the creative cloud photography package, part of creative cloud, as a stand alone product or as a product upgrade.
If you purchased lightroom 5 as a perpetual product rather than the creative cloud, you would need to purchase an upgrade to Lightroom 6. Udpates are free for stand alone versions, but upgrades need to be purchased.
If you need to purchase an upgrade to a perpetual license that you downloaded or purchased at a store, see this link: Products . Scroll down to lightroom and click "buy". Click on the selectable text by " I want to: "and select "upgrade".
If you are trying to install Lightroom CC 2016 as a part of a creative cloud subscription, you should be able to download and install Lightroom CC 2015 from the Creative Cloud site. Since Lightroom CC is a new product, it will not show as an update in the Adobe Application Manager. Instead, press the install button next to Lightroom in the Application manager. If you don't see "install" by Lightroom in the application manager, please first try signing out and back in: sign in and sign out of the Creative Cloud desktop app
If you still have issues, see option 2 in this link:
Lightroom doesn't launch or quits automatically after splash screen

Pattie

I downloaded the latest iTunes software update and it properly installed. But, I cannot close the update window showing it was completed and the blue completion bar is full but cannot cancel or close it either. Any ideas on how to clear that out and close the window. Tried to quit on both the big window and the software update title in the menu bar. No luck.

Tried that by shutting down via the power button only as the normal shutdown was nixed by the open window issue. It did not help. Found a very similar question in the discussions and it recommended "Force Quit". That worked and the update works normal and the window is gone. Thanks!

I just went on to an app and I decided to come off a while after so I clicked the button and it kept on coming up with siri so I have to turn off my phone and turn it back on to get to the home ,what's up?

Restart the phone

Each morning I get a notice to download a Firefox security update. When I click install, I get a message saying Installing Firefox and Connecting to the update server. It never connects; the progress bar just spins all day.

Since shortly after installing Firefo 5 I get this message every time I start Firefox. A dialog box comes up that says Installing Firefox, followed by a spinning progress bar, followed by "connecting to the update server." It never progresses past this point and will stay this way indefinitely until I close the Window.
Also since installing Firefox 5, the program crashes at least once or twice a day and I have to quit and restart. Don't know if there's any relationship between the two issues.

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 Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

Mike and/or speaker kept switching off during phone calls

I just returned my 4s after less than 24 hours and have gone back to my 3 because teh mike and/or speaker kept switching off during calls using the handset, the apple headset and my blueant bluetooth, they could not replace it today so I returned it and may repurchase at a latter date if this is not at common problem... has anyone else had this problem?

KBurd,
If the proximity sensor is covered by a case, your hand, or by being close to your face, the screen should go dark and unresponsive, but the call should not be disconnected.
Is there anything covering the proximity sensor? It is located between the earpiece and the top edge.
Hope this helps,
Nathan C.
