I get a message that downloading firefox can do damage my comuter. Is this true?
When I try to download firefox, a message box appears & says this program can hurt my computer.
This download can really interfere with my computer & what harm does it?
Windows probably gave you this message. Firefox and Mozilla brand name are names of reputable and do no damage to your computer, unless you downloaded from another place other than mozilla.org.

Original title: I need a market to resolve the problem remove the instrument.
How can I get my computer my external USB drive (portfolio) after that I repeatedly get the message that the device "can not be removed? I have closed all other programs and waited for varying amounts of time, and tried all of the fixes that have been proposed on this site. Nothing works. I don't want to turn off the computer whenever I have to remove the device.
I can't know what "all patches" you've tried, but:
Make sure that the system restore does not monitor the external drive. SR does need to control the system drive and to the system drive, SR has only about 1 GB of space max. Make a right click my computer and select properties then the System Restore tab to configure SR.
Make sure that the Indexing Service is turned off (at least for the external drive). To disable disk indexing completely, which will also speed up your computer a bit, see http://lifehacker.com/031440/turn-off-indexing-and-speed-up-windows-xp. For the external drive, right-click on the drive icon in my computer, select properties and uncheck the indexing disc
There are different workarounds short to shut down the computer, but you might want to try this third-party app first:
http://safelyremove.com/index.html Among other features:The device cannot be stopped now. Why? Never encountered the situation when Windows does not allow you to remove a device? Unlike Windows, USB remove will show you programs which prevent the device to be stopped and let you close these programs or just files that they opened on the device.

had 2 users on the computer with itunes on the desktop. main user itunes has stopped working, but the secondary users still worked. tried to update software with the latest version but get a message that reads "not access network location % data%\ app.
This problem occurs because there is incorrect entries in the Shell folder of the user who is logged on to Microsoft Windows. When Windows Installer goes to the sale of Shell folder of the user who is logged on to the computer, Windows Installer cannot locate the correct entry. The solution is in http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/886549.
The steps to correct this problem involve editing the Windows registry. Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk. I suggest that you first back up your registry as follows: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Back-up-the-registry way to create a point in http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/create-a-restore-point-for-windows-vistas-system-restore/ restoration system just to be on the safe side.
Here are the steps to fix it.
1. click on start, run, type regedit in the Open box, and then click OK.
2. look for the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell dossiers\
3 remove the entries that show the path that is listed in the error message.
886549 KB http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/886549: Regedit open again. In the left pane, click User Shell Folders, point to new, click expandable string value, type the value name that you want to restore (AppData) and then press ENTER. Right click on this value, click change, type the value in the value data for the value name box, and then click OK. The value data must be: % USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming. Change it if necessary.
Step 8 KB 886549 suggests that you also check the values in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders. However, by fixing my problem, I had not to change values in the registry key. If this does not work without the full procedure, follow ALL the steps in the referenced article.
I hope this helps. If not, post back with the results of what you tried. Rear post anyway so we will know what happened.
Good luck!

patsyb1973, it seems that the ID Adobe with which have authorized it ADE and the one you bought the e-book, they do not match.

- Launch of ADE.
- Press Ctrl + Shift + D (Windows) or command + shift + D (Mac)
- You get an option to remove the authorization or Authorization(depending on your ADE version) clear, click it and you're done.
- Go to help-> authorize computer.
- Enter your credentials and authorize the ADE.
Let me know where you always get the same question.
See you soon!

I typed in "subject: config" in the URL bar to turn off geolocation featured completely and got the warning below:
"This might void your warranty!
Changing these advanced settings can be harmful to the stability, security, and performance of this application. You should continue only if you are sure of what you are doing. »Then, there's a button for me click on that says: "I'll be careful, I promise!
Warning the warranty is little a joke abut being so serious that you shouldn't change anything unless you know what it does.
Don't forget if you want to remove an added preference (as certain parameters are hidden) or to set a preference to userset back to default, just right-click and select Reset.

I want to install Firefox on my desktop. When I try to import my favorites from windows XP Internet Explorer 7, I get a message that says Firefox no longer works. I have limited computer experience, so I don't really know how to approach this problem. I tried the suggestions of help page, IE, reboot with the modules disabled without success. Please help an older person! I used Foxfire successfully on another machine. Thanks Jim
If you have problems with importing IE bookmarks in Firefox, then export favorites in Internet Explorer to a HTML file and import this file in the Firefox Bookmarks Manager.
Like that you also preserve any sort you did in Internet Explorer with favorites.- Export Favorites in Internet Explorer to a file (bookmarks.html) HTML: file > import and export
- Import the HTML file in Firefox: bookmarks > show all bookmarks > import and backup > import HTML: from a file
See also:
- http://KB.mozillazine.org/Import_bookmarks ("Import from another browser" and "Import from file")
There are other things that need your attention.
Your above posted the details of the system tampon() obsolete show with known risks to stability and security that you should update.

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!

Administrator permissions
I am logged in as administrator. When I try to move the files from drive c to e drive, I get the message that I currently don't have permission
to access this file.As an administrator, I though I had permission. How can I fix it?
I've only logged on as administrator.
Even logged on as administrator, you have not all privileges unless you raise them. This is done to prevent malware to take control of your computer when logged in as an administrator.
