While attempting to upgrade to Firefox 4, when prompted to drag icon to Applications, the Firefox icon has a white circle with a line through it, why?

I'm trying to load updated Firefox 4, when the blue drop down menu with the firefox icon and Applications folder icon (prompt to drag firefox icon to apps folder) the firefox icon has a white circle with a line through (like a "do not enter" symbol)

Hello puma1552,
Are you referring to the *Do Not Disconnect* screen display while your iPod is plugged into and syncing with iTunes? Check out this Apple support document for its meaning and why you are receiving this icon. This icon always appears when you are syncing your iPod with iTunes. It's basically a warning message telling you that the iPod is currently in use and should not be removed.

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).

Firefox versions after 3.6 no longer run on the PPC processor. You can only update to the latest 3.6 release (3.6.23 at the moment)

Can't load the new firefox, get a white circle with a line through it on top of the globe/fox icon

Don't know how more detailed I can put this...can someone help?

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com

My iphoto on the dashboard has a white circle with a line going across it. I can not open it. It says damaged or not complete. I accidently put in ilife in to load yesterday when I actually meant to put iwork in. Did that screw it up. Jeanne

My iphoto on the dash board has a white circle with a white line going across the circle, covering iphoto. Yesterday by accident I loaded ilife instead of iwork. I can't open iphoto it says it is either damaged or not complete. Thanks Jeanne

Did you start to load iLife then stop? See this thread. https://discussions.apple.com/message/15807018#1580701

I have used Firefox for years on my Mac laptop for years, I tried to update to version 4 and now I have no Firefox and every time I download the the Firefox the emblem has a awhite circle with a cross through it, so I can't drag it to applications.

The support page is ridiculous, it assumes you already have Firefox and that the install went fine. I am having trouble with an update to Version 4. I have an ibook G4 running OS X. I have used Firefox for years. When I downloaded the update, the Firefox logo thing that you are supposed to drag to the Applications folder has a white circle with a line through it. I have rebooted many times and have updated all other software.

Hello,
I wouldn't trust any Firefox "update" from a non-Mozilla website. Sometimes, unofficial builds contain adware or malware. If you want to use Firefox for AOL do so at your own risk.

Went to upgrade and says OS too old. I went back to older version of foxfire. Now I have a circle with a line through it and when I try to open it I get,You cannot open the application "Firefox" because it is not supported on this architecture.

I have PowerBook G4, running 10.5.8. Went to upgrade and says OS too old. I went back to older version of foxfire. Now I have a circle with a line through it and when I try to open it I get,You cannot open the application “Firefox” because it is not supported on this architecture. Thanks for the help.

Firefox 3.6.x is the last available from Mozilla for PPC Macs. 
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4+ versions, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8 .

I updated my computer to the new software and now the iPhoto has a circle with a line through it. When I try to update, it pops up to say "These apps cannot be accepted by your apple id". Then will say "update unavailable with this apple id" how do i fix

I updated my computer to the new software and now the iPhoto has a circle with a line through it. When I first try to open it the pop us says: "You can't use this version of the application "iPhoto" with this version of OS X. Version: 9.2.1" When I try to update, it pops up to say "These apps cannot be accepted by your apple id - These apps were already assigned to another Apple ID and they will be available in that Apple ID's purchases list. If you don't have access to that Apple ID and want to receive future updates, you will need to purchase the application". I checked and there is nothing under the "purchases" in my App store. Then will say "update unavailable with this apple id - This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or canceled." Then the third pop up says "We could not complete your request. There was an error in the App Store. Please try again". Just want to know how do to fix.

After I upgraded to Mavericks I was also having this message when I tried to update. There was a previous post about this problem which offered this simple solution which worked for me:

Got it! Thanx. What I did was go to my account, check that they had my new ID and Password which they did, then hit reset button. All fixed.

I go to tools and the options and I can't open any of the tabs at the top Eg I go to exceptions and I get a red circle with a line through it.This is the same for all of the options that have exceptions and saved passwords.

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.

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")

Though I have doubts for success, you might try a SMC reset. It can do no harm. Otherwise, barring suggestions from others, the Apple Store or qualified repair facility is the last option.

Try starting up with your Snow Leopard DVD and see if the disk can be repaired. Once you are at the installer screen go to the Utilities Menu and choose Disk Utility and choose repair disk. You might also want to try Diskwarrior.
Hope this helps.

When i turn my imac on it displays a circle with a line thru it why

When I turn my imac on it displays a circle with a line going threw it and says its loading but nothing appears on the screen. What should I do?

If your data isn't backed up, get one of these tools to see if it can recover data from your drive to an external hard drive at least as large as your internal:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-1689
If your data is backed up, and you are running 10.7 or later, boot with command-R.
If your data is backed up, and you are running 10.6.8 or earlier, find the disk that either shipped with the Mac if it is matching
the system you are running, but just an earlier version, (i.e. 10.6.8 users can use the 10.6.x bundled installer from the same Mac),
or the retail installer that installed the operating system on the Mac.
And select the Utilities menu after selecting the language, and select Disk Utility.
From there select First Aid.
And then see if the hard drive is selectable.
If it is, Repair Disk. If it isn't, or Repair Disk is not able to repair it, go to the store and purchase Alsoft Disk Warrior. It may be able to make your machine bootable again.
If it can't, you may have to replace the hard drive.

I am unable to use Yahoo chat since updating Firefox. My online contact pops up but when I try to click on it I get a circle with a line through it.

I have been using Yahoo chat for a few years. It stopped working last week and the only change was that my husband updated to the latest version of Firefox. I was wondering if I could disable that version so that I could resume my Yahoo chat.

Known issue, See:

this issue maybe fixed in beta/nightly release
