How uninstall Firefox when it always says that it is running
I checked all the troubleshooting suggestions to get Firefox running properly again. Finally decided that I just need to completely remove and download a new copy.
Problem is when I try to uninstall the program he says "Firefox must be closed for uninstalling, close firefox to continue."
I have, it does not appear in one of the processes that are currently running. Any advice?
Hello
Upgrate to the latest beta... 34.0.5...
Some Firefox problems can be solved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you remove Firefox program files, and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
Note: You can print these steps or consult them in another browser.
- Download the latest version of Firefox from mozilla.org office (or choose the download for your operating system and language on this page) and save the file to install it on your computer.
- Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (or open the Firefox menu
Click the close button
).
- Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
- Windows:
- C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
- C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
- Mac: Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
- Linux: If you have installed Firefox with the distribution-based package manager, you must use the same way to uninstall: see Install Firefox on Linux. If you have downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
- Windows:
- Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
- Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
- Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.
More information on the resettlement of Firefox can be found here.
WARNING: Do not use an uninstaller to third parties as part of this process. This could permanently delete your Firefox profile data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and passwords saved. They can be retrieved easily unless they have been backed up on an external device! See back up and restore the information contained in the profiles of Firefox.
Please report to say if this helped you!
Thank you.

How raise a synchronizaton event and say that it is running correctly?
Don't know how to make a synchronization to occur, nor say if he is executed correctly. Please, point me to a "Sync Start Now" button so I can save information as it is created and show me where to look to see if the synchronization was successful.
You can check the about: page of sync-log via the address bar to see if there are any available error logs.
You can temporarily set the pref services.sync.log.appender.file.logOnSuccess true on the topic: config page in order to get also a newspaper of a successful synchronization.
Do not forget to reset the pref services.sync.log.appender.file.logOnSuccess false after you are finished testing the synchronization, or you will end up with a large number of unnecessary log files.

Hi, my trial version of Lightroom 5 has expired recently and I bought now fully. I downloaded the CD on my Mac, but when I open again the Lightroom application, it always says that the trial has expired. Does anyone know how I can update so I can finally use again? I appreciate really all help! Thank you!
Joanne, please remove your current installation of Photoshop Lightroom by using the uninstall program located in the/Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers.
You will then want to download Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.7.1 of Adobe - Lightroom: for Macintosh. The update contains the entire application. Photoshop Lightroom cannot be installed through the Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop application and still be allowed with a serial number.

I bought the extra memory. I have to do something when I install the new memory?

I have vista ultimate 64 and I try to run HAWX in DX10. It is gray in the game. When I run DXDIAG it says that I'm running DX 11. How can this be? How to register for dx10?
Gearrunner,
I have Windows 7 32-bit last month. I installed the demo of HAWX and he ran a program compatibility Wizard after installation. He showed that DirectX 10 has been installed. When I run DXDiag, I also show DirectX 11. Now, I have installed DirectX 9 .0c on this machine. Then you can try to install it and see if that makes a difference.Of course now that I've tried the demo you have shot me in another game I have to play. :)

Can someone help me? I am trying to download iMovie which normally should be free with other Apple applications, but for full reason he always says that I have to pay for it. And I Shen a brand-new iPhone updated to IOS 9 5s. Can someone give me advice on what to do?
iMovie and iLife and iworks Apps are free with the purchase of a new device.
Since Apple is no longer selling the iPhone 5 s, she cannot be considered more for free apps.
However, just to be safe, disconnect you from the iTunes and App Stores-> Apple ID in the settings on the new iPhone 5 s, then reset the iPhone in now the home and power buttons together for 10 to 15 seconds. Let the iPhone reboot and then sign in with your Apple ID in iTunes and the App Store and try to get the Apps again.

iCloud library not updated iPhone photos of Mac. This happens frequently and I don't see a way to force him (he always says that he updated all 'on time'). I tried restarting both devices. Mac is running latest update of el capitan, and iPhone is 9.1 (on hold until that the photos are actually saved to update to 9.2)
Try to go to iCloud.com to see if the elements are there and whether the device or the computer. That should indicate if the device or computer is not synchronizing. If the computer, try going to System Preferences/iCloud and stop synchronization. Wait a few minutes, then recheck the timing. If the device, go to settings/iCloud and do the foregoing.
