I get a message "locate link browser" after update Avast
Firefox is my browser of choice. I recently updated my Avast! antivirus. In the process, it has automatically installed Google Chrome. Quickly, I uninstalled Chrome. Since then, Outlook 2003 by clicking on a link to results in a message "locate link browser" and Firefox does not open. In Windows XP, I went into the folder options, file types, and there is no URL: HyperText Transfer Protocol. Can't add it because it is not in the drop-down list. I run regedit to remove the four files in various help sites, but none of them are there. What can I do now without setting Internet Explorer as my default browser?
Try to undo and redo Firefox as default browser.
Make a different browser like IE browser by default and then let Firefox do it again.

I got the message to update my browser, I went on the site and download the latest version of Firefox. I update my plug-ins as well. However, I always get the message that my browser is obsolete. I uninstalled it, reinstalled, without success. Please help me. When I go to help and select about Firefox, I have that I use the latest version: 6.0.2.
Check general.useragent preferences on the topic: config page.
You can open the topic: config page through the address bar just like you open a Web site.Filter: general.useragent
If all general.useragent prefs are "BOLD" (user set) then right-click this pref and select reset.
It would be probably due the FBSMTWB on the end of your useragent that you had added the Fast Browser Search toolbar extension.

I have a macbook pro: 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5, 4 GB of 1333 MHz DDR3 Ram. 10.7.5 version. When I open some websites, I get a message that web browser is obsolete. I use safari. When I do a software update, it says that the software is up-to-date. Help, please.
Safari maxes in a version of Mac OS x. New version of Mac OS x would be needed for the new version of Safari.
Firefox is not limited within an OSX and probably has a version that works. Chrome may as well but is a Devourer of resources. Opera is a third option.

What is this error message that you receive? This would help a lot. From there, a person must be able to provide some additional troubleshooting steps.

When I try to sync, I get a message that I need to update iTunes.
When I try to sync, I get a message that I need to update iTunes. I used this button on iTunes 11.4 since it was bought, then today he refused to sync. I deleted and restored, which erased all the data and my music. I always get the same message, but now I have a Clipboard instead of a key. Any help would be appreciated.
iOS 9 does not synchronize with a version of iTunes below 12.2. So, you've been 11 iTunes syncing, but once you upgraded to iOS 9.x, the required level of iTunes has changed.
You will need to download the latest version of iTunes to synchronize.
Great win by the Packers, BTW!
Good luck

I have first items 13, recently installed on a new laptop of Dell Inspiron 17 5000 Series. The program works very well. However, when I have access to the program, I get a message that there is an update available, 13.1. I let him go ahead and do the update before using the program. It only updated, then restarts first elements 13. As soon as the program loads, I again get the message that 13.1 update is available. How to stop the happy ground?
RTA,
Thank you very much for your answers. As you suggest, I went to the help/updates and found that 3 points were scored update, Manager, 13 Photoshop and first elements 13 elements. On a hunch, instead uncheck one of them, I thought I'd see what would happen to let update all 3. It took a while, but, long story short, stopped the happy Vangogh and everything seems fine. Thank you for your messages, much appreciated. Walt Maken

Is this a false message, or is there an update available? If yes how do I update my version?
Hello
It is not a false message, these updates are available. (I covered the camera raw info here)
If you load the editor, when you get told updates and you click Update, it may take a while to get there.
If you are on a Windows system, you can find that there is a flashing icon of user access control in your taskbar. I don't know about MAC systems.

A page keeps popping up saying THAT FIREFOX wants me to download this video player. I am wary of download anything these days by the virus software out there
If you receive a message pop up asking to update or install other software, then such a message is probably a scam and you should never respond to such reporting to avoid being infected by malware.
You should only update Firefox via "> about" or by downloading and installing Firefox from Mozilla and server never using a popup or a link on a web page.

How to upgrade to iPhoto on an IMac (El Capitan, OS). Tried to find it on iTunes but I get a message, it is not available in the Canada.
What version do you have now? You can use iPhoto 11 v9.6.1 on El Capitan. If you have a version earlier than iPhoto 11 then there is no way to upgrade and you must use the new Photos.app instead.
If you have a version of iPhoto 11 then put it in the trash (not empty it) and reinstall it from the shopping list of the Mac App Store - note it is the Mac App Store and nothing to do with iTUnes.

get a message on my mac to update itunes on my iphone
I have an iphone 5s and I get the following message on my Mac.
Impossible to use the iPhone "IPhone of Harold" because it requires a newer version of iTunes. Go to www.itunes.com to download the latest version of iTunes.
I've updated the latest version and I still get the message every time I connect my phone to my Mac. Any suggestions?
If you use Mac OS X 10.6.8 as indicated in your profile, then the latest version of iTunes that runs on it is new enough to be compatible with your iPhone. You need iTunes 12.3 and Mac OS 10.6 tops out at iTunes 11.4. You must upgrade your version of OS X to get a newer iTunes. You can download OS X El Capitan (10.11) from the Mac App Store.
