Why can I not use any map website because I am prompted to download Maps Galaxy for Firefox which I do not want & am provided no opt out option?

I have attempted to use Google , MapQuest and Yahoo map and directions and cannot view the resulting directions because a message appears on the screen requiring me to download MapsGalaxy for Firefox toolbar. I am happy with what I can do currently with the map and direction web sites and do not care to download this toolbar but I am not even offered to opportunity to opt out. There is not even a description of the benefits offered if I would download the toolbar. I'm not one who enjoys being force fed things I did not request. What goes on and why am I being forced to download this toolbar in order to continue to use the map web sites? Thanks for your assistance.
I have a screenshot of the message but am unable to figure out how to include it with this detailed description.

Hi,
Firstly I'd like to clarify myself: I'm not working for any hardware and software vendor. I've posted few times: they (all of them) don't sell printers, they sell inks because in many cases total cost of a new set of inks is more expensive than a new printer with inks (I know cartridges are not full). Since inks are very expensive, many people use chip resetters, continuous inks systems .... to reduce printing cost such as some thing like one of this.
Regards.
BH

Why can't I use any of the apps except as "trial"?

Subscribed to CC day before yesterday (paid). Can't use any of the apps except as "trial". Spoke with someone in customer service who assured me that things would be working by today. I was told that I don't need to enter a serial number if I've paid for a subscription, and I don't have one anyway. Today applications still won't run. Anyone know what's wrong??

Why can't I use any browers?

Whenever I try to go on safari it says that I need a certificate, I click open certificate and get nothing.
On google chrome it says every website is blocked because someone is using my internet and it says it will be shortly ok again. I waited 4 days and still the same for that one.
When I try to acces app store I get nothing.
I use Wifi
I use macbook pro, Mavericks.
processor: 2.4 GHz Intel core i7
Memory 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
I wish I could send a screenshot of it, but I can't since I cannot acces any internet on my mac
I am also bad with forums, so forgive me if I'm wrong in putting it in here.
May I ask your help for this matter?

You have given no indication of your network setup.
How do you get internet in your house??
Please give the make and model of the modem.
Do other devices in your house get internet via this modem.. ie it is only the imac that fails... or are you posting via iphone over 3G??
We need full details..
Let me strongly suggest you plug the iMac or MBP directly to the modem.. completely remove the airport router.. does internet now work?? If so factory reset the AE and start over.

Why can't I use any of my apps on a secondary computer?

I never thought I'd have any issues with Adobe, however since purchasing a Creative Cloud Subscription a few days ago I'm having a licensing issue.
On my first Windows PC, I downloaded and installed all Apps avaliable to me via Adobe Application Manager.
Upon running my first app, I was able to click 'Sign In' and was sorted.
However on my second Windows PC, also downloading and installing via the Manager, things got weird.
I ran Photoshop for the first time, and clicked 'Sign In'.. Everything seemed fine.
After restarting my computer, I tried to open Illustrator and recieved a window asking me to activate the product.
Suddenly, every single application is now pretty much under a 30 day trial. Upon following these instructions via your Support Site - it didn't do anything. So, I followed these instructions to convert them from trials - however after signing in I don't get 'Congratulations'.. I get 'Serial Number'.
What now? I would love to solve this issue before I can't use the software any more after 30 days for no reason.

Thank you for letting us know you resolved the problem.

Why can't I use any of my apps after updating OS X Lion. This is ridiculous. I was doing just fine without the updates till last week.

I updated my apps a couple of days back. Now I'm not even able to use my microsoft word simple documents. I can't open my lesson plans, my homework, my kids pictures....nothing. What am I missing?

Why can't I use the "Gumtree" website properly in Firefox?

Every time I try to use "Gumtree" Australia, Firefox becomes sluggish and lags very badly, and when I try to click on an ad to view it, something comes up telling me that a script has stopped working, and then Firefox crashes.
Firefox has been lagging a lot lately, but Gumtree is the main one that seems to set it off. Everything is up to date, so I don't know why this is happening. I've tried using Gumtree in Internet Explorer and it works fine there, but I don't really like using IE at all.

Why can't I use any of my CC apps?

There was a billing problem but was corrected this morning with the billing dept. I was informed that my subscription is good and would be able to use the CC apps with no problem. But when I start one, it tries to validate the subscription and says I need to renew my subscription. I don't understand.

Hello Romsinha,
No, there is no button or link to activate, only request to Renew Subscription on the message window with a link to the login webpage. When I login, it takes me to the Plan Information page.
There I see two Creative Cloud panels: one for Free membership with the account status telling me I have access to 30 day trials and one for CC membership (one year). There is no button or link to activate. Based on the phone conversation I had with the Billing person, she activated it for me after I gave her my credit card information (which is the same I entered online when I received the new card).
Can I go ahead and close the Free membership one? I was going to but was afraid it would also cancel the CC one year membership.
What next???? I need to use the apps. This is holding my projects back.
HELP!!!

Why can't I use the fafsa website after downloading Firefox 5.0? Do I have to now uninstall the Firefox 5.0 and install their supported browers instead?

It seems that fafsa does not support the Firefox 5.0 browser. I would need to uninstall the upgrade and install their supported browsers instead. I've encountered too many problems after installing Firefox and now I'm considering uninstalling Firefox and reinstalling Internet Explorer.

Install Firefox Portable 3.6.18 for that website:

Why can't I use any downloaded program on my Macbook?

It seems to be that I can't do anything when I open a downloaded program. That includes programs such as Adobe, Microsoft Office en even the smallest such as VLC Media Player. Programs that were already on the laptop such as Safari, Finder, Apple Mail, App Store are no problem. I can restart the computer and maybe it will work again but it is about a 1/10 chance.
I have a 15 inch Macbook Mid 2010 version 10.6.8. I have updated to Mavericks but it didn't help the situation (version 10.9)

Hi BigDaddy,
I’m sorry if this associate gave you incorrect information regarding our Movers Coupons. Movers Coupons can be used towards the purchase of a MacBook Pro that is on sale. You state this store is our store in DeerPark, IL, but I don’t see a store located in a town named DeerPark. Could the location of this Best Buy be in a different city?

Why can't I use Soutwest Airlines website on Foxfire?

I have cleared the cookies and restarted several times. I had to use IE and it worked fine. What's up?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]

I updated to 1.1.3 - Why can't I use any of the new features?

Hey, I just got my ipod touch 8 gig. It came with 1.1.2 on it so I updated. Now when I go to settings and about, it says it's 1.1.3 as well... However I cant add clips to my home screen (when I press + all I see is add bookmark), and I also can't re arrange my icons.... Do I need to do something to enable these features? What the **** is wrong with my ipod, it seems to still be on 1.1.2 and just think it's on 1.1.3

To add webapps to your homesceen, to add lyrics to your ipod, to make the apps on the homescreen jiggle around . You MUST buy the $20 upgrade. All the firmware update of 1.1.3 added was the ability for your ipod to watch rented movies from itunes and thats ONLY if you update your itunes to 7.6. So to get anything you wish you must get the $20 upgrade.

Why can't I use my normal mail account for synching notes

Hi there,
I maintain my father's iDevices/computers as he has Parkinsons and does not understand the technology behind how these services work. I need to maintain as simple a configuration as possible. As an example calendaring is difficult as new entries are not necessarily put in the calendar he uses and I have to talk him through how to show all calendars on a regular basis. I can't have his mail on IMAP as he cannot manage his mail and his mailbox fills up. I can't simply pay for storage ad infinitum - my local copy of his mail is about 6 GB and growing.
I have seen several discussions where it is clear that we *must* use an icloud.com e-mail account for synching notes via IMAP, but none of them have explained WHY I MUST USE @icloud.com e-mail. If this is an IMAP based service why can't I use any other IMAP server
I see that it is referred to as an "icloud account" but if I have to enable mail, it becomes an e-mail account, which I do not want as it will be confusing if there is an issue with the main mail server (which I maintain) it will present an option to use the icloud.com e-mail as a valid option to send the mail.
I do not turn on the mail option in icloud.. (only calendar, contacts, reminders and find my iphone). I find it dissapointing that this is now what seems to be a "requirement".

That is absolutely unnecessary, but more convenient to have icloud to sync your notes. I use other IMAPs as well and can sync my notes with google and yahoo and icloud(corresponding email is required in all cases). It is your choice and you can pick your poison, but you will find out that icloud is more convenient after you or him will lose his info few times. There is no requirement, you can even use the group that will not sync with anything "on my device" if you disable all of IMAPS. Icloud is just the one that you can call Apple and normally people prefer to work with Apple support way more then with google's or yahoo's, but that is again up to your preference.
