Why do I get an error 21 notice when I try to uninstall Firefox betta?

I was having problems with Firefox repeatedly crashing and decided to uninstall and reinstall. I'm a bit new to IT and installed MF 4.0 beta 11. I was told by my son that this is a trial version which I shouldn't really use until my knowledge is better. I tried to uninstall MF beta 11 but keep getting an error 21 notice. I installed MF 4.0 in the hope that it would uninstall the beta version but that hasn't happened.
How do I get rid of the beta version?

Please do the following.
Go to [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/?ref=logo Download Firefox 4.0.1] and download a fresh installation file to the desktop.
Then go to Add/Remove Programs in Windows Control Panel, scroll down to '''Mozilla Firefox''' and remove it, choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc., (don't checkmark the box).
Then reboot and delete the folder called '''Mozilla Firefox '''at this location: ''C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox''
Finally run the installation file you downloaded to the desktop earlier.
Your bookmarks, customizations etc., are maintained in a different location and will become available to you again once you complete the installation.
After you complete the installation, go to the [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ Plugins Check] page and update those if necessary.

    Sometimes this will work as well when you get that message. It's easy to do. Try it before you do anything else.

    Just had this same problem. Based on other suggestions I found on the web, went to C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox and deleted all files that ended with upgrade and/or delete. Then I was able to uninstall Firefox and then reinstalled. Hope this helps!

  • Why am I getting this error message when I try to open a photo in Preview?

    I am getting the following message when I try to open a photo in Preview. I have searched for possible solutions and nothing works for me. I have always used Preview to edit photos.

    Repairing the permissions of a home folder in Lion is a complicated procedure. I don’t know of a simpler one that always works.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
    Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
    chmod -R -N ~
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. When a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) appears below what you entered, it’s done. You may see a few error messages about an “invalid argument” while the command is running. You can ignore those. If you get an error message with the words “Permission denied,” enter this:
    sudo !!
    You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
    Next, boot from your recovery partition by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the recovery desktop appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
    In the Terminal window, enter “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press return. A Reset Password window opens. You’re not going to reset the password.
    Select your boot volume if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.

    The user-agent detection was incorrectly identifying FF4 as a mobile browser, in turn redirecting to a mobile version. Install the following addon to workaround this problem until it's fixed: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/xhtml-mobile-profile/

  • Why do I get an error message when I try to update to iCloud 4 on my PC?

    Why do I get a "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package .... " when I try to update to iCloud 4?

    There is a very long way which is removing anything related to Apple including stuff in the registry.
    The short way is as follows. It worked for me. I got rid of ICloud 3.1 and installed version 4.0 on the first try.
    I have seen that in the forum EXCEPT the registry trick which is missing and does the difference.
    1. Remove the Apple account from Outlook.  In my case a me.com account.
    2. Disconnect the connection to ICloud in the control panel of version 3.1.
    REBOOT and open Outlook to see that all traces of the email account and of ICloud are gone.
    3. Uninstall ICloud 3.1. I used REVO Uninstaller in Safe way mode. It removed some stuff in the registry from what I see; but not sure.
    4. Delete as much stuff as possible in the C \Program Files (x86) \Common Files \ Apple
    and C\Program Files\Common Files \Apple.  My computer is 64 bits.
    5. Go to the registry by typing regedit.exe or simply type regedit in the Start Box. Search for ICloud.  I deleted TWO entries related to ICloud. Otherwise, you will still see the ICloud control panel despite the fact that you removed 3.1.
    6. then I was able to install ICloud 4 immediately.  Upon restarting it asked me my email and password and added itseft to Outlook like it was before. Be aware that you address book in Outlook could be deleted, so do an export before.

  • Why do i get an error 16 when i try to open adobe photoshop cs6 on my mac?? plz and thank you

    when i try to open adobe photoshop cs6 on my mac an error 16 pops up. can anynone tell me the solution??plz

    When it happened to me, it turned out that my permissions to the Application Support folder was unintentionally changed during an update, causing the problem.
    A Terminal command fixed it.  Copy and paste into Terminal. You need to be allowed to administer this computer from your account.
    If you are asked to enter a password, enter it blindly, because usually there are no dots and cursor movement when you do.
    sudo chmod -R 777 /Library/Application\ Support/Adobe
