Why am I both unable to open Firefox and unable to uninstall it? I used Firefox regularly until today, but this morning I did a System Restore and other troubleshooting and now Firefox is completely unavailable to me.
I've been having lots of problems with my computer abruptly shutting down lately. This problem '''''might''''' be solved -- it's too early to tell.
When I try to uninstall Firefox, it beeps like Windows is going to uninstall it, then nothing. I close out the Window, then search for it to see if it's gone. It's still there.
I like Firefox, but now I'm forced to use IE. How can I get Firefox back? I don't want to download it until I've uninstalled what's on here now.
First, please try reinstalling Firefox over your current installation. There is very little risk of making things any worse than the system restore function has already done.

I did a system restore to a previous state now can't open I-Tunes
To cut a long story short my windows XP PC is having problems so I have done a system restore to 1 month ago. The problem is that I can't open I-Tunes now. First it said that I need to uninstall & reintsall ITunes because it can't open quick time, so I went to my program files and opened quicktime manually which opens ok (although it may be an older version). When I then try and open i-tunes it says that it can't read my library because it has been updated since, and nothing happens. If I then re-set my PC back to today then everything is fine again. I believe that I-tunes last updated itself on 3rd June, but my PC problems happened before that so I need to restore my PC to an earlier state.
I have over 3500 songs in my I-tunes libary, about 200 purchases and about 20 playlists and I am worried about losing them all if I re-install as suggested. Can anyone help me please????
Or is there a way to transfer my i-tunes library over manually so that it opens it ok?+When I then try and open i-tunes it says that it can't read my library+
Use the directions from this article to find an itunes database that will work.
Surely one of the files in the *Previous iTunes Libraries* folder will work.

After uninstalling program, I have also deleted all folders in program flolder associated with mozilla firefox; However the last time none had been put there. Also went into registry and deleted firefox named files. Now just going in circles.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== update downloaded a few days ago and computer restarted.A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, maybe after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.

I hope someone can help. My husband did something to update Firefox (or Firefox just automatically updated today, I don't know which), but I didn't like the new toolbar much, so I did a System Restore to get back the old one. That didn't work, so I then did another System Restore for an earlier day, but when I restarted the computer, Firefox wouldn't open at all.
A pop-up asked me something about "allowing 'something-.exe' at start-up," with options like "Remember this action, don't allow, and allow," I think, and I don't remember what I clicked, and that's likely part of the problem, but in any case, I can't get Firefox to start now. I click on the logo/icon and nothing happens.
I tried to undo both System Restores, but the computer would only restore the most recent one, not both.
And I tried, as suggested on the forum elsewhere, to go into "Firefox Safe Mode," but that didn't help either.
Thank you for any help.That's what happened to me too after I upgraded to firefox 4 and it wouldn't connect to my internet. Now I'm stuck with Internet Explorer with none of my important personal information like my favorites.

I tried to download Firefox 4.0 on my Mac Intel running OS 10.6.6. I get a message that it can not download because libsmime3.dylib is open. And now FirFox 3.6 has disappeared. What do i do?
FireFox can't open lots of files it isn't suposed to. DMG is opened by the Mac osx as a virtual volume file you just drag the FireFox icon to where you want it installed. Check your desktop for a FireFox volume... like a drive. Double click the DMG file if it is not there. This is how Mac works it has nothing to do with FireFox, many apps install this way!

Firefox opens up, but, this morning, I can't access any links via Firefox. I can via Explorer.
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

I have an iPad 2 and so does my mom. We both have the app Slotomania and now all of sudden after having it for months, our games connected and we don't know how to fix it. Deleting it and reinstalling does not work.
Does the app now use iCloud, do you use iCloud and do the two of you use the same account on iCloud?
Just a guess. -
everytime i click on the view in itunes button/link on the itunes website so that i can download apps, nothing happens. I accendentally clicked on the button other than open itunes and now i cant fix it
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores and sifnout and sign back in
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device. -
goodnight. as you know apple has evolved considerably until today but there are people who do not have ability to buy new products. in my case I would like to know why the apple do not let the iphone 3g update to iOS 4.3 as are several applications that can not put on my iphone 3g due to this reason. Why does not Apple make a repository with applications for ios 4.2.1? or else do not work in an update to ios 4.3 on iphone 3g?
This has nothing to do with Apple, as Apple does not make the apps.
This is the decision of the app maker.
Contact those app makers and ask them why they do this. -
Leopard. Did a full restore from Time Machine. Now I can't access my other internal and external drives. I get the following error: The folder “Capture Video” can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents. I have repaired permissions pn the main harddrive. When I try too click on a disk I get the previously stated error. I can't even open up information to see what permission/access there is. It simply will not let me see the content. It shows the content of my main hard drive when I have clicked the other harddrive's name.
Solved:
sudo chflags 0 /Volumes/"FCP Time Machine BU"
sudo chown 0:80 /Volumes/"FCP Time Machine BU"
sudo chmod 775 /Volumes/"FCP Time Machine BU"
sudo chmod -N /Volumes/"FCP Time Machine BU" -
I accidently deleted QuickTime from my computer. Then I did a system restore and retrieved the program. Now Itunes can't find QuickTime and will not open.Is there a eazy fix for this without using my Ipod? Ihave 6K songs in Itunes that I can't get to.
Thank You
T-BILLHmmm. There's a couple of things that might be going on with that one.
Let's try an uninstall and reinstall of QuickTime first.
If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel. Select "QuickTime", click "Change" and then click "Remove".
If you're using & or Vista, head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select QuickTime, and then click "Uninstall".
You can get QuickTime back either via Apple Software Update (in your Start menu go "All Programs > Apple Software Update" ... QuickTime should appear in the "New Programs" section), or by downloading a QuickTimeInstaller.exe from the following location:

I hooked up my iPod to the computer and opened iTunes and now all my music is gone. I have greyed out areas where the music is supposed to be, but it says that I still have the same number of songs as I did before. Can I get my music back?
Grayed out whee? Computer? On iPod?
If in iPod that means the music files got corrupted and are lost.
