Won't update, says prev version needs to update and to restart. This doesn't work, get same error

Running old version of Firefox. Tried to update and get message that a previous version hasn't finished installing and computer needs to reboot to finish. I reboot, then try to install new version, but just get the same error. I also tried to uninstall and start over, but got the exact same message that it needed to finish updating before it could be installed.
Suggestions?
Thanks!

Do a clean (re)install and delete the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 8.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version if possible.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

What version of the OS X are you running? Go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac and report the Version back here.

I purchased snow leopard and got a disk with OSX 10.6.3 but my macbook with intel processor and 1 gig won't update. It restarts but doesn't update after disk installs

I purchased snow leopard from online macstore in Australia and got a disk with OSX 10.6.3 but my macbook with intel processor and 1 gig won't update from 10.5.8. It restarts but doesn't update after disk installs. Do I need 10.6.0 to install first?

Insert the Snow Leopard DVD, restart your MacBook while holding down the C key, this should start your Mac from the optical drive instead of your hard drive. Choose your language and install Snow Leopard. When it's done and you've restarted on your new 10.6.3 system run software update to upgrade to 10.6.8. Done.

Macbook EFI firmware update 2.7 update and now my wifi doesn't work!

I did the EFI 2.7 update and now when I open the laptop from sleep on any wifi network it does work, and says im connected in wireless yet on safari im "not connected to the internet" after switching from one wifi network and then back to the original and waiting 30 seconds it finally works, i shouldnt have to fiddle and screw around with wifi on this computer when before the update it worked fine. I expect a fix from apple dang fast or if some one can tell me how to uninstall it, because it did nothing but ruin my computer experience. Very upset with apple right now.

I had the same problem, but was able to solve it by resetting the SMC control..
1) Power off the machine
2) HOLD OPTION + CONTROL + SHIFT + PRESS POWER BUTTON
3) Then release,
4) THEN POWER ON normally
This worked for me..

Hotmail emails won't update and download since this morning

TThis morning when I went to open my emails in Hotmail, it wouldn't download any new emails. emails from April 7th and prior are there but current emails from after are not there. They were there as of last night but gone this morning. Also, when I check my email on my laptop in Hotmail, all the emails are up-to-date and are continuing to update. Somehow, my IPad will not access Hotmail after 4-7-15 today. I have tried turning it off and I have installed all the latest updates in software.

HT5568 My update for Safari 6.02 doesn't work, yours? Error message on download begin.

Error message:
The operation couldn’t be completed. (NSURLErrorDomain error -3001.)(102)

lol - pardon the reality check, but if a bad update is offered even for a few seconds, there will be a certain number of people who manage to hit that narrow window and try to download it, and a certain number of those will end up here with terror in their hearts. That's the statistics of very large populations; it's almost as unavoidable as Brownian motion. You guys drew the short straw this time around, it will be someone else next time, but there will always be someone in this fix. Sometimes fast is actually too fast.
I know it's a horrifying thought (and there's not as much sarcasm in that as you might think, because I define the term 'computer junkie'), but this is a smoke-em-if-you've-got-em moment. We all just need to let go and do something else for a while, and not worry about it. the thought sends chills up my spine...

I updated my itunes to 11 and found out my phone and ipod were not compatible. I uninstalled it and reinstalled 10.7 but now I get an error message when I try to open itunes saying "the file cannot be read because it was created by a newer verison"

Thank you for clarify I'm supposed to read the ENTIRE article. I thought I was just supposed to read the title and magically everything will fix itself. I appreciate you taking the time to help me however I do not appreciate the caps and the way you have addressed the situation. If you are not going to kindly help people/make suggestions just don't try! And for the record my conclusions are not illogical, the iOS7 thing is on the website in small font (which I got by reading the ENTIRE thing) and you should really find a new hobby because your socialization skills need some help! That goes for you too Chris. Not everyone is a tech nerd

I used to be able to download files from the Harddrive of my Sony Handycam, but now it won't let me import them while going through "log and transfer." I have tried to update my settings, but this doesn't seem to work. Any help would be much appreciated

Hard Drive: The Hard Drive is on my camera (Sony Handycam)
Just needed some info on what is going on with your particular system.
Knowing the exact camera model will also assist us.
If this camera is standard AVCHD you should be able to connect with USB to Mac with FCE open and use Log and Transfer without all the fiddling around converting etc.
What FCE does during ingest is convert files to AIC. (Apple Intermediate Codec)
FCE cannot read the individual files in the BDMV folder, that's why all the converting is required when you use that method.
BTW: regards formatting drives/cards/memory on cameras; it is wise to use the actual device to format rather than a computer. This is a prime cause of read/write goof ups with solid state media. This applies to still or video cameras.
Keeping the COMPLETE card/memory structure in tact is vital for successful transfers.

Twitter loads, but won't update and gives Twitter error message, but only in Firefox.

I just installed my operating system (Ubuntu Linux 12.04, KDE desktop) three days ago, and installed Firefox yesterday. When I go to my Twitter feed, I get a bar at the top of the page saying "Sorry! We did something wrong. Please refresh the page and try again." Refreshing doesn't change anything. At the same time, my feed won't update, and scrolling down the page doesn't bring bring up more tweets, just an error message saying:
Loading Tweets seems to be taking a while.
Twitter may be over capacity or experiencing a momentary hiccup. Try again or visit Twitter Status for more information.
This does not happen in Chrome or Rekonq. I've checked all my add-ons, cleared my history, cache and cookies. I don't know what else to do. Help?

What worked for me was to delete all cookies in Firefox, and then log in again to Twitter. Options > Privacy > clear you recent history. Ask it to clear everything and untick all but cookies.

While installing latest update I lost ability to open Itunes. Getting "runtime error" and then next box says error 1114. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling and does not work. Getting same error. Very frustrating.

Hi there,
Earlier iTunes (and supporting applications) need to be completely uninstalled before you can install the new version. Here's the complete Apple info on this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
Mobile device application will most likely fail to uninstall, so you would need to visit its location(s) and manually delete the files then folder(s). The location of the folders is documented in this link from Apple.
It's a pain, but it should work.

I am trying to update itunes software to 10.5 but I get an error message saying to try manually installing and I try that and it still doesn't work, Help!!

I am trying to update itunes software to 10.5 but I get an error message saying to try manually installing, HELP!!!

With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you?
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

My ipad1 won't update and doesn'tshow to update software

Hello 3512931312,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you have an iPad (1st generation) and would like to update the software on it. The latest supported iOS version available to the iPad (1st generation) is iOS 5.1.1. If your iOS version is lower than that and you would like to update, I would suggest attempting the update with your computer using the instructions located Update your device using iTunes section in the attached article.
Update the iOS software on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
Have a great day,
Joe
