An .exe application is compiled for Windows. It will not run on a different OS. If you need to run this program, then you will have to install Windows on your Mac. Either as a separate bootable partition, or running in a virtual machine, such as Parallels or VMWare.

I got problem on installing iTunes. When I clicked iTunes out, two windows popped out. One said the procedure entry point CFAttributed String Create Mutable could not be located in the dynamic link library Core Foundation.dll.

I got problem on installing iTunes. When I clicked iTunes out, two windows popped out. One said the procedure entry point CFAttributed String Create Mutable could not be located in the dynamic link library Core Foundation.dll. and one just said *Itunes was not installed correctly. Please re install I Tunes Error 7 (windows error 127) . I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it. But either way cant work. I really need some of your help! PLS HELP ME!

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The error shares a similar pattern to that in the third box, so a similar approach should work. Look for CoreFoundation.dll in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support, delete it, then repair Apple Application Support.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

I have tried to set my homepage to a specific website. However, whenever I open a new Safari window, it always returns to the last page I was at before I closed Safari. Any ideas? I did this was Safari preferences, open new window to homepage...

Safari is opening using the resume feature. To disable that, quit Safari using Command+Option+Q or Hold Option when choosing the menu item Safari>Quit.

Whenever I open Reddit, I get the pop up, "Firefox HTML Document (0 bytes)" which asks for my permission to be downloaded. On Cricinfo, I get a similar pop up.

On Reddit, whenever I open any page, I get this popup:

On Cricinfo, I get a similar popup:
http://i.imgur.com/im3tpqN.png
This would also occur on other websites, but these are the two of the websites that I frequent a lot more. The problem is, even if I click on "Do this automatically..." button, all what it eventually does is that all such files gets saved in the default "download" folder which slows my system down. Help?

Hello,
This behavior is not the right behavior - neither of these sites would prompt you to download any files when you visit them. Can you please check if this happens when you open Firefox in safe mode too. Instructions for running Firefox in safe mode are below
Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

Internet Explorer problem (two windows pop up at the same time when started)

I have new T61 with vista business. From unknown time period, whenever I double click to open IE, two taps (in one window) pop up. I don't know how to fix it. Please advise me. Thank you in advance.

I spoke with Lacie support a few days ago and they suspect that the one drive had a catastrophic failure and the other (the newer one) was just a bad power supply. They are sending me a new PS and suggested that I at least try to remove the other drive from the case and see if I could get another system to read it. It pretty much did the same thing when it spun up - sounded like an airplane taking off.
Also, they told me that as a previous customer I am entitled to a discount on a new drive if I provided sales with the ticket number for the problem. So I called to see how good the discount was and I was pleasantly pleased. I ordered and have already received a 2TB Raid and have it installed as a RAID 1 for my main backup drive.
Now that leaves me with my old backup drive still waiting on a new PS to see if it will spin up. If it doesn't, I'm really up the creek since it was the backup for my system, including the other failed drive.
If it DOES spin up and I can access the data, that leaves me with another question. Can I access the Time Machine backups directly for the old drive? If so, will copying the latest backup folder give me all the data or is it spread out somewhere? Hopefully this will be my dilemma, cause at least the data will be there!
Thanks.

Everytime I open Firefox 5, a window pops up that says,"TypeError: Components.classes[cid_siterank] is undefined,"with an ok button on it. I want this box to disappear.

Everytime I open Mozilla Firefox 5 Beta, a window pops up that says, "TypeError: Components.classes[cid_siterank] is undefined," with an "ok" button, after I click ok, it opens firefox, how do I stop this window from appearing everytime I open firefox? It never did this with previous versions of firefox.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
In Firefox 4+ you can use one of these to start in [[Safe mode]]:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

I have already paid the licence and I still get the notice "We can't verify your subscription" whenever I open the program, and the expiration date is tomorrow. What should I do?

I have the following problem. Yesterday I paid the licence for Illustrator with my credit card and I correctly received in my e-mail, the payment confirmation. However, whenever I try to open the program I get the following message "We can't verify your subscription". You are offline or there's a problem with your invoicing account. Sign in to manage your account and verify invoicing data. If you have any further problem or question, contact the "Customer service". So, what should I do?

maca,
You may try to restart the Creative Cloud application by quitting and relaunching it.
Failing that you may try Creative Cloud support (all Creative Cloud customer service issues),

Whenever I try to open Firefox the following window pops up: XUL Runner/ Error/ Platfor Version "5.0" is not compatible with/ minVersion =5.0.1/ maxVersion =5.0.1/ OK(button) What do I do to get Firefox to work again?

I have been using Firefox for quite some time (years). It tried to upgrade Firefox and since then have not been able to get it to open, each time it comes up with that popup window, with my only option being to click on the OK button, which terminates the operation.

The updater wasn't able to update all the files and some were left as older versions. 
Do a clean reinstall.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version.
* Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

After installing iTunes 7.6, whenever I open it, Windows Installer launches

I upgraded to iTunes 7.6 yesterday. Whenever I open the program now, Windows Installer launches. No idea what's causing this. I'm tried reinstalling, rebooting, but nothing helps.
Anybody know how to fix this?

When a device mounts, two windows open[SOLVED]

When I plug in a flash drive or an external hard drive, it mounts and opens the device twice. So when I plug in the flash drive, two windows pop up.
This is a nuisance. Where did I go wrong in setting hal up?

Maybe you should specify what DE you are using: I guess it' Gnome 2.22.
If yes, I have the same problem, as written here. I'm going to report a bug on gnome bugzilla as soon as possible.

When I launch ITunes a window pops up saying that this version has not been correctly localized for this language please run english version?

Can someone please tell me what I need to do. My Itunes won't open up. A window pops up saying that this version is not correctly localized for this language please run the english version.

Let's try a repair install of iTunes.
Restart the PC first.
If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair".
If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", and click "Change". Select "Repair" and click "Next" as per the following screenshot:
Can you launch your iTunes now?

Deleted coremidi.framework & CAN'T OPEN MUSIC PROGRAM. please help!

I use Ableton LIVE to make music. I don't know what "coremidi".framework is, but the coremidi.framework folder always bounces in my dock. I recently downloaded and installed my first plugin (Waves Tune) which wasn't working, so I suspected this CoreMidi.framework thing was interfering w/ LIVE.. so I went to my finder and finally DELETED COREMIDI.FRAMEWORK once and for all, thinking this would help my computer run better. NOW I CAN'T even open Ableton LIVE- a window pops up which indicates:
"check with the developer to make sure Live works with this version of Mac OS X. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and Mac OS X."
I did this of course and the only update available is a new version of Itunes which I don't care about. I am a data management idiot and quite stupid when it comes to this technical stuff so any help is much appreciated as I spend all my free time making music and now I am stuck in the mud.
thank you ANYONE
MacBookPro/2.2 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo / 4 GB / OSX 10.6.8

I'm on 10.7 at the moment, but...
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If all the above fails, then it appears to be time for a relatively painless Archive & Install, which gives you a new/old OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space and no Disk corruption, and is relatively quick & painless...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
Just be sure to select Preserve Users & Settings.
Which 10.6.x does bt default, just Updates needed after that.

How do I make it so that Firefox does NOT close my other windows when I open a Private Browsing window?

Whenever I open a Private Browsing window, it closes all of my non-private windows until I end the private session. Is there a setting or add-on that will make it so I can have both private and non-private windows open? Both Internet Explorer and Chrome allow you to do this and it is the only reason I'm not using Firefox.

That unfortunately is the way that Firefox works.
You could create a new Firefox profile, but it would have it's own set of bookmarks,
you could use a different browser for either half, but again it would not share you
bookmarks. Firefox has the best bookmarks, but I understand your situation.
Private browsing does not suit my usage because it turns off everything privacy related and I would not want to turn off bookmarking or lose my session data. I am the only user on my computer.
