Why does the latest upgrade to firefox run and run on my MAC without ever loading

I get a message saying update Firefox now. I hit the enter and the Firefox update runs, last time I tried I went to another page to keep working and the update was running for over 30 minutes. The about Firefox page shows issue 33

Hello Norrsken, please try to download and install firefox. Do the next steps:
1. Download a copy of the latest firefox from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html (full installer)
2. '''Trash''' the current Firefox application to do a clean install.
3. Install the version that you have downloaded.

On my MacBook Pro with Retina Display, Why does the "USB Devices Disabled Unplug the device using too much power to re-enable USB devices" keep coming up after I unplugged the usb device?

On my MacBook Pro with Retina Display 15", that I purchased a few weeks ago, started coming up with the following message on my desktop:
"USB Devices Disabled Unplug the device using too much power to re-enable USB devices".
I unplugged the device and the message still keeps coming up.
This is what I have done so far to troubleshoot:
I shut down the laptop. When booting up I pressed the command+option+p+r at the same time. It comes up with a menu to reinstall OSX, Get help online, Run Disk Utility, etc. I choose the disk utility and repair the disk and then restarted.
The message keeps popping up and I can't seem to get rid of it. Why does the message keep popping up even though I don't have any devices hooked up to the laptop at all? Any help to reenable my usb ports and get rid of the messaage would be helpful.

I talked to Apple Support and we at least stopped the bleeding, a little bit. These are the troubleshooting steps I did before I contacted Apple Support:
1. Reinstalled OSX
2. Restore the last known good Time Machine Backup.
This did not fix my issue, so I called Apple Support and they told me this:
1. Turn Power off.
2. Wait 15 seconds.
3. Plug in Magsafe adapter.
4. Wait 15 seconds.
5. Hold down the Shift+Option+Power Button for 20-30 seconds.
6. Turn Power back on.
Ok, this stopped the bleeding a little, but as soon as I plugged in a Apple USB Superdrive
and a Apple Mini Displayport to VGA Adapter. This "USB Devices Disabled" pop-up pops up like every 30 minutes now. At least, it is not constantly popping up after I close it, so I guess it will do for the temporary. Going to contact Apple support, later, though to see what else can be done.

Why does the AirPlay selection disappear with iTunes radio?

Usually there is a selector icon next to the volume slider at the top of the iTunes window that lets you choose among speakers and airplay devices. Why does this icon disappear when an iTunes radio station starts playing? After doing some trial and error, the option only disappears for certain stations.

I used iTunes open stream at http://kera-ice.streamguys.us/keraliveaacplus.m3u
works fine

Why does the latest version of ITunes change all of my web based icons to ITunes programs and all of my desktop icons to the ITunes icons?

when downloading itunes why all my web based programs change to itunes programs and all of the desktop icons change to itune icons?

That's because iTunes is registering itself as the default application to open those kinds of files. I believe you can stop that behavior when you install it. To revert a file type's default handler you need to select it and select "Get Info" from the File menu and change the settings under "Open with:" to your desired application.

Why does the latest ITunes not allow a connection to my 5th Generation ITouch?

The problems started when I updated a couple of days ago to the latest version of ITunes. With the last version I could connect my Ipod Touch with a USB cable without any problem. Once I downloaded and installed the new ITunes it would no longer recogonize the USB connection. Still seems to synch but over wi-fi only. Is there a bug with the latest ITunes Version? I have Windows 8.1.

It's very frustrating. STILL no solutions from Apple or Windows. The latest ITunes doesn't even synch with my ITouch over wi-fi now. What a mess.

Why does the latest version of Apple TV suck?

I still have my first Apple TV (1st gen) which is amazing. I just bought the latest one at xmas. It was working fine and then asked to be updated. So, we updated it. It won't work now. It asks to be plugged in to iTunes. And you need a new cable (micros USB) to do so. Why ruin something that worked? Why?

Apple tv ***** big... Chrome cast is soon much better!!
My apple tv has decided to stop working (its only 1yr and 1month old, surprise, surprise...) and it says i have to plug it in to itunes on my mac but i haven't got any cables to plug it in to my mac..... What cable do i need? what do i do?
Ps: i have Macbook pro retina, ipad air 2 128gb , iphone 6plus 128 gb, imac 27", apple tv, 3tb time capsule...... and all my friends say i should switch to android, and i think there right, there chrome cast is SOOOO much better..... and im not trolling... apple can check my account and i have spent thousands, and thousands and thousands on altos stuff and its a pile of ......
if i have to pay for the cable tu plug my apple tv in to my mac i will throw it away and get a 30$ chrome cast (the same than what the apple cable will cost..)
I liked apple because it all went great, but now it just ***** and not the good type of *****, the kind of ***** that makes you think why did i spend SOOOOO much money on hardware that is as crappy as googles but much much much more expensive than google....
Cable? no cable? chrome cast? or just change my hole ecosystem?
Any suggestions ?

Why does the latest version of firefox crash on my windows 7 64 bit system? in English

I've used Firefox forever, swear by it. The past few times I've installed the latest version, my computer comes to a SLOW crawl and CRASHES repeatably. I uninstall and re-install 3.6.24 and every thing works fine. I constantly get reminders that I'm using the older version and to update. I refuse to because it turns my system into a glorified paper weight. Any idea why this might happen?

Sorry I didn't get a crash report. My computer would just come to a complete stand still. No reports, nothing. I've installed it at lease three times now, and each time it does the same thing. I have to do a hard reboot, uninstall and re-install the 3.6.24 version and it works fine. I posted the question to see if anyone else has experience the same problems. I could try it again to see if I get a crash report. I would have to do this over the weekend as I use this computer for my business.
I appreciate your response and sorry I didn't have a report for you. I'll keep you informed as to what takes place when I try to re-install.
Thanks again

Why does the latest update to photoshop destroy my performance?

I am a creative cloud memeber. I recently updated photoshop to the most recent version to keep things up to date. I've found that the performance has been severely affacted. I'm running on a powemac i7 with 16GB ram. Before the update I could have both photoshop and After Effects open with reletively good perfromance. Now, my computer virtually freezes, The program does not crash, but the CPU use is near %100 even when no task is being processed. Is it possible to downgrade to the last version? or atlease figure out the issue. it's makeing the programs unusable for me.

Since you are on a Mac, you can't directly change your display driver version, but you CAN double check to ensure you're on the latest OS update.
Some things that might help you regain performance:
1. You can go into the Photoshop - Preferences - Performance dialog, choose [Advanced Settings], and see whether any of the alternate drawing modes (Basic/Normal/Advanced) changes Photoshop's behavior. Remember, you need to quit Photoshop and restart it to properly test changes to these settings. I'd also suggest checking to ensure that Cache Levels is 2 or higher in that Performance panel.
2. Reset Photoshop preferences by pressing and holding the Command - Shift - Option key combination immediately upon cold-starting Photoshop. If you're quick enough (and you have to be very quick to get the keys down), you'll be prompted to confirm deletion of the current preferences. This will lead to Photoshop regenerating an all-defaults preference set. You can still restore a named workspace, but you'll have to re-do all your custom preferences.

OK, guys, why does the free upgrade to Mavericks fail?

I'm pretty sure this has been asked & answered several times. I waited until now to accept the free upgrade because of the problems mentioned in reviews and here in discussions. It worked on the upgrade download for two and a half hours, then told me it failed. No error message with numbers or anything, just told me to go to app store purchases? I think that's what it said. Any ideas, I didn't have anything running, left the computer on and read a magazine while watching my old TV. Sitting right here at my desk. Are there problems with the anti virus or security things now? It hasn't fussed about anything like that on previous downloads.

Linda --
Go to the App Store, click on purchases, and see if you can re-download your Mavericks. I think you should be able to finish or restart the download there. Turn off any AV/Security stuff. You don't have FileVault on there, do you?
In your System Preferences > Firewall, make sure it is off. Turn it back on after your download.
Make sure you're not using wireless, and don't pause it at all.

Why does the latest version of firefox insist flash player is out of date and blocks play back but it is the latest update

Flash Player Plugin between 11.0 and 11.7.700.169 (click-to-play) has been blocked for your protection.this is what firefox tells me but when i check the add-ons manager it says version 15.0.0.239 is installed.how can i get firefox to recognize the right version

The Plugin check is behind on what versions is current to check for so it is useless at moment until it is updated.
This is because 15.0.0.2'''39''' is not the latest Firefox 15 version as there has been at least 15.0.0.2'''42''' which is on blocklist and 15.0.0.2'''46''' which is not on the blocklist as according to Adobe it is not affected.
Flash Player Plugin 14.0 to 15.0.0.242
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/blocked/p798
Flash Player Plugin 10.3.183.66 to 13.0.0.258
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/blocked/p794
So for Windows and Mac 16.0.0.235, 13.0.0.25'''9''' ESR and
15.0.0.24'''6''' are not vulnerable according to Adobe and are not on blocklist.
'''philipp''' you need to update your posting for this as Mozilla made a two part blocklist on Friday so as to not block the 13.0.0.258 ESR version and your link is for one of the two blocklists for Win/Mac.

Why does the latest version of iMovie not have an option of sharing with iDVD?

How are you supposed to burn a DVD using the latest version of iMovie? I've always had the option to share to iDVD and now it's not there.

It is there but you don't want to use it as it will degrade the quality of the movie. Instead use the Share ➙ Media Browser option.
Then in iDVD go to the Media/Movies section and drag the movie into the menu window being careful to avoid any drop zones that may be there:

Why does the latest version of HP Support Assistant crash every time I try to use it?

I have an HP 6730f desktop with Windows 7 preinstalled. Recently, I was advised to upgrade the HP Support Assistant program by HP through an update message. Upon doing so, I am unable to start the program without an error message that states that a serious problem has occurred and the program must close. I have since uninstalled the program entirely. I would, however, be satisfied with the Support Assistant that came with the computer, but wonder why the updated version does not work...?

Hello PCJim,
Have you tried reinstalling the program since uninstalling? It could of just been a bad install that required needing to uninstall / reinstall.

Why does the song I imported from iTunes to edit, sound weak after burning to a CD?

I needed to shorten a song that's on a commercially available CD because it has a rather long instrumental in it. We're using this in my church as part of the service.
What I did: I ripped the CD into iTunes, then I opened a new project in Garage Band as "Loops", drug the song into the track, chopped out the lengthy part, sent it to iTunes, made a "Play List" in iTunes and burned a CD. The result was a recording that sounds weak and lack luster. The original CD sounds so awesome that you just have to get out of your seat and participate (it's a Call & Response song), whereas the shorter version that I created sounds dull and the congregation is left feeling kinda' ho-hum. :-(
What did I do wrong? What should I do differently? I don't mind doing everything all over again, I just don't want to burn through 10 CDs before discovering by trial and error. Thanx in advanced for everybody's input...

Delete and redownload it if doing so is free in your country.

Why does the ALT key disable mouse clicks on some machines?

I have a drawing program, the main Window of which extends JFrame and contains a Canvas, which extends JPanel. The Canvas has a MouseAdapter, KeyAdapter and JMenuBar. It also has a Tools palette, which extends JDialog and has Buttons, which extend JToggleButtons.
One button is called Zoom. After pressing this button, you can Zoom In and Zoom Out by clicking the mouse on a point of the illustration. It differs from pressing Ctrl Plus and Ctrl Minus, because the point where you click is kept in place, and only all the other points move.
Zooming In is done by clicking the mouse and Zooming Out is done by pressing the ALT key and clicking the mouse. The Zooming In works on all computers, but for some strange reason, the Zooming Out doesn't work on all computers. The computer where it doesn't work, after pressing the ALT key and clicking the mouse, it does not recognize the mouse click, and never reaches the mousePressed method in my debugger.
The computer where it doesn't work has the Windows XP Professional operating system. But some computers where it does work have the same operating system. The problem also does not depend on the keyboard or mouse, because I tried a different keyboard and mouse, and it still didn't work.
I wonder if the reason why it doesn't work on some computers has to do with that the ALT key is also used differently (which might depend on the operating system)? Pressing the ALT key and clicking the mouse Zooms In a picture by keeping the point in place and only moving all the other points
I do not want to use a different key, since one release of my program is a plugin for Photoshop, and Photoshop also uses the ALT key to achieve the same thing.
Thanks for checking on this! I will appreciate your help!

Ok, I did apply KeyBindings. Since the AnanyaCurves class extends JFrame, I couldn't apply KeyBindings there, but I could apply KeyBindings to my CurveCanvas class, which extends JPanel, which extends JComponent. However I still have my first two problems:
1) After pressing the ALT key, clicking the mouse doesn't get recognized. You never reach the mousePressed method, where it's supposed to exit the program.
2) After opening a menu, such as the Nothing menu by pressing ALT and N, pressing a key which is not an accelerator key of a menu doesn't get recognized, such as pressing the E key. You never reach the actionPerformed method of the exitF action, where it's supposed to exit the program.
Here is my SSCCE with the KeyBindings:

In the getInputMap method I was trying to use the condition WHEN_IN_FOCUSED_WINDOW, hoping that the bound key would be recognized, but it didn't work. And, by the way, I still used the KeyAdapter so that the alt attribute of AnanyaCurves can be set to false when the ALT key is released.
I will appreciate your help very much! Thanks for your time!
