My iBook will fail to mount when I try to download .dmg?

I bought an iBook G4 used that arrived yesterday, and the first thing that went wrong was Safari kept closing when I went to Google and Youtube. I figured it was an old browser, so when I tried to download a version of Firefox that worked with my system, it failed to mount while preparing the disk image. It gave me a Warning message that said "Disk Images failed to mount" and for reason "Corrupt Image". The exact same thing happened when I tried to download Camino. I am new to Macs and don't know what to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello,
Try downloading and installing this http://caminobrowser.org/releases/1.6.11/
If this fails to mount and install, then try repairing disk permissions of your iBook drive.
To repair disk permissions;
click go on the top menu, then utilities, click on disk utilities. from the left pane, select the drive. Click repair permissions.
Best of luck

Adobe Application Manager fails to install when I try to download CC

I have tried to download CC but keep getting the error messate that Adobe Application Manager fails to install. How can I download CC?

For Windows 8, 64-bit,
I Renamed OOBE to OOBE_old located at
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe
I then relaunched the Browser
I went to https://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud
I Signed in with Adobe ID and password.
I clicked on the download button but absolutely nothing was happening.
You will find below a video showing what happens when I click the download button when OOBE is not renamed.

I hope this bug will be fixed promptly because all my CC applications are now paid for a while and not yet presently accessible and useable.
I feel, in all fairness, until the problem is fixed, Adobe should provide a credit.
Thanks for your understanding.

Since loading the new version of Firefox it will not open. When I try to download Firefox 4 or older versions I get a messase that says I must close Firefox first. Everything else is closed!

A new version of Firefox downlaoded the other day and now Firefox will not open at all. I tried to redownload version 4 and an earlier version (3.6) but I get a message that says that "Firefox must be close first in order to continue". There was no other box open at that time. What can I do to get Firefox to work?

Hey, thanks for the info. Upon further reading into the help section, I realized that I had to uncheck spybot tea timer to get the downloads to save & open. Wish I had read that a couple of months back... Works fine now anywho, thank you for your response.
Have a good one!

I get "failed to initialize" when I try to download Adobe Flash

I un- installed my previous version because I was having trouble loading farmville. I used the adobe uninstaller not remove programs. I can't reinstall the latest version in either Firefox or explorer. I have windows XP. I downloaded the Adobe support and it found nothing wrong. Help please.

I don't understand any of this - I don't know what install_flashplayer10_chrd_aih.exe is; I don't know what Geardownload.com is; I don't know what mssd is...
I suggest that you do a clean uninstall (using http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html), then download and run the two installers from http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html

Why do I get redirected to a blank page when I try to download .dmg files?

I have been having real difficulties for about the last 2 months downloading .dmg files. Instead, I have often been redirected to a blank page, which takes a while to load and the downloads window in my Safari browser does not recognize the download at all. If I try to "save target as" I simply get a useless HTML file. Anyone else have the same problem?

Make sure your software is up to date. Click your Apple menu / Software Update...

I continue to receive "failed to mount" when trying to install .dmg files or updates. Has anyone found an answer to this problem? I am operating on Mac OS X 10.4.11

10.4.11 was only available as a PowerPC updater application (both as a Combo and as a Delta) to Macs with 10.4 or later that were PowerPC. If you don't have 10.4 installed on your Mac, see this tip:

Hi, We have an application built using HTMl 5 and Javascript running on IPad2, iOS5.1 Safari 5.1. When we try to download a file(.pvw file) in that application safari throws "Download failed" error. Please suggest what needs to be done.

Hi,
We have an application built using HTMl 5 and Javascript running on IPad2, iOS5.1 Safari 5.1.
When a file url is clicked instead of asking for Save or Open or Cancel options, the file gets opened on IPad by default.
Is this default behaviour which cannot be changed or can it be configured to ask user preference?
When we try to download a file(.pvw file -> a model file) in the above application, safari throws "Download failed" error.
Please suggest what needs to be done.
Regards,
Pramod

Safari on an iPad in general does not allow downloading of files. That's a safety precaution in the iOS SDK to keep unauthorized content off of iOS devices. Safari will open from the web site file types that it can handle, but direct downloading isn't normal behavior, and I don't believe the behavior can be changed, though you can try asking in the developer forum, either here or the one to which you have access as a member of Apple's iOS developer program.

I'm having an error message 'OS X Mavericks failed to download' every time when I try to download it

I'm having an error message 'OS X Mavericks failed to download' or '' An error has occured'' every time when I try to download it,, plz help me to fix it... :/

I have been reading the forum and other sites and no surprise that bugs do creep in from time to time and need to be fixed. Any new OS will come with bugs and i think this is one. Yes they will fix it and then we will be able to download, but I do not think that the problem is due to too much traffic. However, is good to let Apple know about problem, so they can fix it.

I purchased an iBook and when I try to download it I get sent in a circle. Message pops up that it's already been purchased & I need to go to store to download but it never downloads, stays in pause mode. I have been charged for the book but can't retrieve it. I've successfully purchased books before without trouble.very frustrated

Hi Peggs,
Try this:
Open your iBooks app on your iPad
Select the Store Button at the top
Select Purchased at the bottom
You will see your AppleID on the right at the bottom, then Redeem, then Support
Click on your Apple ID, and when the AppleID window comes up with the options, Sign Out
Then Sign In again and try redownloading your book
Hope this helps!
Cheers,

i try to downlod twitter and ccleaner but i can't open the app ?!?!!!

It can also be an iTunes issue. Many of us, including myself, are not used to the new interface of iTunes 11 and would find ways to downgrade the available iTunes 11 back to iTunes 10.7 in Mac OS Mavericks. The only issue with downgrading (using AppZapper and Pacifist) is that you will not be able to update/install apps from the App Store after rebooting the Mac.
If you happen to have downgraded your iTunes in this method, then uninstall the iTunes 10.7 and reinstall iTunes 11 again - the App Store should resume its download/update function without any issue.
Hope this helps.

If the above doesn’t do the trick entirely, then use the instructions in the following as it applies to the version of Windows you are using:
HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP
HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
You may be required to boot into safe mode to complete the folder deletion process.

Also, the Calendar is loading very very slowly, and sometimes it quits and gives me the same error message as above.

The problem has been fixed with the most recent OS X software update.
