Why is firefox offline. I dodwnloaded the update and now it won't open when I click on the app;

The question is the cruz of my problem. I received a notice of an update to firefox and I downloaded it and installed it. I restarted firefox and got the message "Firefox is offline". I went to your web page and downloaded firefox as if it were a new app for me. It replaced a newer version in App file. I installed it and when I restarted firefox I got the same message. Help

You can manually set Firefox to work offline, but it may have set itself due to a network connection issue.
To manually change back to online mode, you can use
File > ''uncheck'' Work Offline
If the MacOS version does not have a File menu, maybe it's on the Firefox menu.
Does it work?
If this recurs, you can change a setting so that Firefox doesn't make its own decisions about going offline. This thread has more information: [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/749053 Firefox keeps switching to work offline mode all by itself and therefore drops internet connection.

I just tried to update Itunes. Something went wrong with the update and now itunes won't open

I was notified of an update to itunes when I opened it on my PC this morning. I agreed to the update. The update did not finish and now I can't open itunes on the PC. I tried "repair" in the control panel to no avail. HELP!!

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version, or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

Firefox won't open when I click on the icon. I've tried uninstalling so that I can reinstall, but it says I have to close firefox (which isn't open), so I'm stuck.

The problem: Firefox won't open when I click on the program.
Solutions tried: #1) I tried to uninstall the program so that I can download it again, but the screen shows the message "firefox must be clsoed.. to proceed with installation". However, firefox is not open.
#2) I tried to download firefox, thinking that possibly it would update and solve the problem. However, I get the same error message that "firefox must be clsoed.. to proceed with installation" Problem is that firefox is not open.
I've done a screen shot, so you can see that I do not have the firefox browser open.

Thanks for the reply. I tried repairing the permissions (as well as several other things like deleting the Finder preferences file), but no dice.
Given that the problem cropped up right after updating OS X on two separate machines, it's looking to me like it's just a bug that needs squashing at this point.

My Itunes won't open when I click on the program.

My Itunes won't open when I click on the icon/program. It will flash like it's going to open on the bottom bar on windows 7 but then doesn't do anything, I have tried deleting it and redownloading it, however this still hasn't done anything. What can i do??? Thanks.

Can you right mouse click iTunes icon and choose "Run as Administrator"?
If this fails:
Try SCAN your Windows system files for possible corruption:
Go to command prompt (START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES right mouse click "command prompt" and choose "Run as Administrator"
type in
sfc /scannow
let Windows fix any system files that need to be repaired.
Restart the computer if it did actually repair any files.

HT4993 I have an app that was updated and now it won't open

I updated an app on my iphone 5 and now it won't open. How do I fix this without loosing my data on the app.

Double-press the HOME button, find the app, and flick its screen image up to kill the in-memory copy of the app. The reboot your phone by holding the HOME and SLEEP buttons until an Apple logo appears.

Downloaded update and now it won't open

Yesterday I downlaoded the new iTunes update and now it will not open. I am running Norton and Microsoft Anti-spyware and took some hints from other messages and non of those have worked.
Anyone with ideas to fix this please send them to me and thank you to those who help!!

top fixes for a new iTunes install/upgrade are
- turning off security software such as Norton before the install as Apple suggests
- installing QuickTime standalone, not regular
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html
- setting up Norton to allow iTunes
- scanning for malware with ewido (Free at www.ewido.net/en/)

So I updated the itunes and now it won't open it, it states a message "the itunes library.itl" cannot be open because it was created by a newer version of itunes, I have unistalled and re-installed newer and older version and still i get this message.

I updated and now i can't use the itunes. I have unistalled several times, installing newer and older versions but still i get this message. Is there anything i can do to fix this problem??

Try the following user tip with that one:
Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash

Accepted the software update and now mail won't open.

I allowed the software update and now I'm getting an error message when I try to open mail. I went into applications and there a strange icon for mail but when I click it, it doesn't open. Help!!
Thanks,

What version of iPhoto?
What format is the disk?

My 4th gen ipod won't backup after it froze during a software update to 4.3.5. I had to cancel the backup at the start of the update and now it won't let me backup to my computer, freezes during backup or says my backup is corrupted.

I pressed 'X' during a backup after it froze during an update to software 4.3.5 and now it won't let me backup on my computer. Does anyone have any ideas? It either freezes during backup or says my 'backup is corrupted' or 'I cannot backup on my computer'. I have had to abort quite a few attempted backups since the initial problem, which I think has made it worse. I have already tried restoring my ipod, deleting the aborted backup from my preferences/devices in itunes and deleting it from my user/appdata/etc on my PC hard drive. Any ideas what to try next?

After hours of frustration I eventually decided to restore. I lost my apps, but i didn't have many and was able to reinstall them for free. During the restore it updated my ipod to the latest software 4.3.5, which i think may have caused the initial problem, but the backup issue remains. Sometimes it stops me from syncing and other times it allows me to skip the backup, but still says that i can't backup on my computer. I'm worried that it has done something to my computer as it took me six hours to do a Bullguard scan, which only normally takes about an hour. The scan didn't come up with any viruses, but it stalled at system32 for ages. The only other thing that i can think of is that a demo CD I uploaded may have caused a problem. iTunes couldn't find a track listing for it but gave me a few different options. i thought I had to choose one to continue, so did that then changed the track details to the correct tracks. I'm now worried that may have introduced an issue or caused a glitch in iTunes. How paranoid am I sounding?

Finder won't open when I click on the icon

OSX Yosemite
iMac 21.5 in , late 2009
Processor 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 8 GB 1067 MGz DDR3
NVIDIA GeForce 9400 256 MB
Out of the blue my Finder App will not open when I click the icon. Finder will open if I click and hold the Finder icon and select New Finder Window. It's more of an annoyance than anything, but I use Finder a lot and don't want the extra step of clicking and holding.
I have checked the Finder functionality on my other Users and it works fine, so it is just my User that is having the problem.
This is what I have tried to do to fix the issue:
Delete com.apple.finder.com and restart
Delete all Login Items and restart
Unplug all peripherals and restart
Test the issue in Safe Mode. The problem still occurred in Safe Mode.
Deleted my User and restored from Time Machine Backup. Still have the problem.
I don't know what else to try. Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks for the reply. I tried repairing the permissions (as well as several other things like deleting the Finder preferences file), but no dice.

"Updated" and now it won't open

I just upgraded to the new version of iTunes - 6.05.something I think...anyway, now iTunes won't open period. I just purchases an entire album as well as iTunes exclusive tracks today and now I can't access them...Help!!

> QuickTime Uninstall error below.
Unexpected handle.
Error Number 0x80040707 Description: DLL function
called crashed: QTInstallCode.QuicktimeUninstallProc.
Setup will now Terminate.
good diagnosis, iWonnaMac. your version of this is almost certainly going to be due to an incompatibility between your QuickTime and Windows Update KB908531 on Server 2003 systems.
for some more info and background on troubleshooting that beast, see:
b noir: Re: Windows XP 64, trouble after install of itunes update
if you decide to go the "uninstall KB908531" route with this, strongly consider implementing one of the three workarounds described in the "vulnerabilty details" section of the following security bulletin:

Why won't Firefox install after I've downloaded the latest version? I can't get it to open. I have it on Mac with OSX system. It worked before the storm killed the power but now it won't open up at all, using the same methods I used before.

My power was shut off due to a storm. When I fired up my Mac, the Fox was nowhere to be found.
