Why the **** can I not get firefox on an iPad?!

The fact that safari cannot download firefox on the ipad2 is ******* ridiculous. It speaks to a deep seated insecurity on apple's part.

Apple doesn't allow JavaScript interpreters to run on the iPad, and Firefox revolves around JavaScript, both to show web pages and to do its own housekeeping.
Other browsers either use cloud services to do the work, or the iPad's built-in browser mechanism. There's a more detailed description from one of the Mozilla developers at http://www.quora.com/Will-Firefox-Mobile-ever-be-released-for-iOS-devices
While you could in theory take Firefox's shell and wrap it around the iPad browser, what you'd have wouldn't be Firefox. If you're willing to pay for the cloud time, though, then you can use CloudBrowse, which will let you use Firefox on the iPad.

Why can i not get WeightWatchers app for iPad in Ireland?

I am really annoyed.... Having recently treated myself to an iPad and rejoining Weight Watchers, I was psyched to see that an app existed to track points etc.!! Cant tell you my disappointment at not being able to get it - cant be got through iTunes Ireland! What's up with that? Anyone have a clue? FYi - have tried to set up a new account but Apple has cotton'd on & blocks it.....

I would guess that the maker of the app does not sel it in the itunes store for Ireland.
You can buy ONLY from the itunes store of your country of residence AND ONLY while inside the borders of that country.
Sorry.

Why the games are not working properly in my ipad after installing iOS7

Why games are not working properly in my ipad in my iOS 7

The games you mention would have been written and therefore designed for the previous version of iOS - you've most likely had a lot of updates lately in the run-up to the release of iOS 7 and if these games haven't had an update then chances are these will need to be adapted to iOS 7 by the developers if not working correctly.

Why can I not get Instagram on my iPad Air?

I Have an iPad Air and I cannot get Instagram but on other iPads you can. I'm really confused on why.

What happens when you try - error message, nothing, etc?
You can download it to your computer and then transfer to your iPad.
Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

To each his own. I own Outlook, but I avoid using it like the plague. The only Mac mail software I have liked better than Apple's Mail was Qualcomm's Eudora, which is no longer updated or even available, won't run without Rosetta, and unfortunately never quite got the hang of IMAP.
Check out this post regarding this user's continuing use of Eudora on his Lion MacBook:
Shield Eudora from Lion's Claws
A thousand thanks and kudos to Michael for this fabulously excellent thread!
Eudora's now happy in her new Snow Leopard VM home on my Lion ModBook!
Appears essential to keep resource-forked data off Lion disk:
First attempt with Eudora on SL VM was sharing data on Lion disk. Error messages on open like "can't find Table of Contents" suggest Lion ate resource forks crucial to Eudora.
Found success by transferring data from SL Mac to thumb drive, then mounted drive in SL VM so Lion couldn't touch.
While Michael warns against storing data in VM, appears there's no choice with Eudora. At least She's enthroned on a mirrored RAID.
There is Nothing like Eudora! (to tune of "There is Nothing Like a Dame" from South Pacific -- Oops! my gray hair is showing!)
(It's amazing Parallels can force Lion to store taboo resource forks. Thank God for code warriors!)

Why can I not get the Web Icon for some of my saved Bookmarks

Many of my saved Bookmarks have their correct Web Icons.
However many fail to save their Web Icon leaving the Icon blank.
The Web Sites in question do have specific Web Icons.
I have tried deleting the Bookmarks in question and saving them again without success.
Why can I not get these icons to be saved in the Bookmarks?

No problem here with that TalkTalk website, the favicon image saves immediately when I save it as a bookmark. It uses a conventional favicon.ico image in the root directory <br />
link rel="SHORTCUT ICON" href="/favicon.ico" /
With Barcalays iBank I can't figure out where the website image in the Location bar is being loaded from.
With Barclaycard, the favicon saves with the new bookmark, even though that image is in a non-standard location. <br/>
link rel="shortcut icon" href="assets/images/favicon.ico" type="image/vnd.microsoft.icon"

I have tried all can not get firefox to search for website

I run Windows XP.
It all began with the fiollowing error - "could not load xpcom. From there I redownloaded and installed - the foillowing scenario followed on this.
I can not get firefox to connect to the net.
I re downloaded and installed firefox, 3 times, no difference.
My home page shows on my desk top screen - but it clearly does not work as it will not do any searches and connect to other websites.
When trying to use in "Options" it closes the firefox home page, as though I had exited it.
I have now spent 2 days reading and trying all as given in firefox help and community forum - nothing I read fits the bill, or has been of any assistance.
The search field is empty and I can not get it to accept a search engine name like google or any other. I know firefox has a choice - but the pull down choice menu does not open.
I am now at a total loss and desperate to get back to work having wasted 22 days already trying to repair same.
I tried the automatically install add ons as per this very "automatically add" button, but it says Firefox can not modify the required file.
Please help I am desperate!

As I said, I have read about all.
There is no solution there for me - I am not an internet guru and must be honest some of the solution provided seem high tech and beyond me - they refer to certain aspects of the system which I do not see on my computer.
I would like some one to give me a step by step solution if there is one.
It began as follows when I tried to open firefox...
It told me (for some reason) about 5 days ago ..."could not load xpcom."
I have read and read and eventually found what I thought would be the solution. - Reinstall.
I re downloaded/installed the latest version of Firefox. Now the page opens but it is inert - does no searching and does not accept any search engine addition - neither does it provide a choice of search engine as it used to do.
I USED THE FIREFOX PAGE ABOUT 5 DAYS AGO SAME COMPUTER.
I can open various url's which i have saved for research purposes and also things like my bank account to do tfrs. No problem.
My email also works fine.
For some reason the newly installed version of Firefox does not see the internet or react to anything - (have reinstalled 3 times) -neither does it accept anything one types into the search field - when I click to activate the search it simply deletes it.
I need some "help fpr dummies" please
Thank you for your interest to help - much appreciated.

Why can I not get a gmail account on my macmnini?

Why can I not get a gmail account on my macmnini?
It tells me "unable to confirm account name or password.

If you have a Gmail account and you've activated 2-step verification, you need to generate a new "application-specific password" in your Google account and enter it in place of your old password in the Keychain Access application.

Why can't I get text on my iPad? Roommate has iPhone and iPad like myself gets text both places. The only difference seems to be her phone number is listed before her email address. Can't get it to add my number.

Why can't I get text on my iPad? My roommate has a iphone and iPad like myself and she gets text. Only difference is her cell number is listed before her email address. My cell number is no there and won't let me add it.

I assume that you mean that you do have an iPhone because messages will not work with any other type of cell phone. You should be able to add your phone number in Settings>Messages>Send & Receive at>You can be reached by iMessages at, if your phone number is lited in there, select it and then uncheck your email address and then the iPad will be using the phone number just like the iPhone.
If you phone number is not listed in there, you probably have to sign out/turn off Messages on the phone and the iPad and then start over again on the phone - and then your phone number should be accessible to use on the iPad.

You can use your iPad worldwide. However, each AppleID is tied to
a specific country's store. To use the AppStore in any country, you
must be in that country and have a credit/debit card issued by a financial
institution in that country with a verified billing address in that country.
It is the developer's choice which AppStores he makes his app available
from, and some countries prohibit certain apps.
To make a purchase from the US store (including downloading a free app
available in the US store), you must be in the US and have card issued
in the US with verified billing address in the US.
You can use your purchases from the SA store worldwide, but you
cannot make purchases in other than the SA store unless you meet
the aforesaid conditions.

This article is vague and unhelpful. My iTunes needs help from a pro.
I have over 120,000 songs -- NO movies, TV, radio, or books...
I have other programs which efficiently run things which are not audio-based.
So why can I not get iTunes working well?? It now takes at least 10 secs for any operation to be completed!
That is just plain evil. But I am sure I could do something to help.
All the music is on an 2T external drive.

TS1717 as noted in the thread title...
Brigancook, is the library database on the external or just the media? iTunes reevaluates smart playlists and rewrites its database after every action on the library. I've found this can make a library half that size, with a lot of smart playlists, quite sluggish. That said I'm aware part of my problem is aging hardware. Having the database on the internal drive may improve performance if it is currently on the external.
I'd expect to see an exponential relationship between size and response time which may explain what you see. Cutting down on the number of smart playlists might help. If we're really lucky the long awaited iTunes 11 might have streamlined some of the background processes as well as cleaning up the front end.
