Software downloads mount drive but do not show icons to drag into applications folder

I downloaded Flash this weekend and Logos 5 today. Both downloaded and the drives mounted, but the drives did not show the software package to be dragged into my application folder. In the case of Flash, the folder header was there, but the space below, where the Flash app was supposed to be was blank. In the case of Logos, when I opened the drive, the only thing visible was the arrow between the app and the shortcut to the applications folder. There was nothing to grab and drag either. Any ideas for me?

3rd party software uses all kinds of different ways to get installed.
Some provide installers you double click on inside the mounted .dmg.  And to keep things interesting, different vendors use different installer utilities
Some include an Alias pointing at the Applications folder.
Some just give you the App and you figure out what to do with it (if you are lucky, these sometimes include a README file that tells you want you should do).
This is life outside the Mac App Store.

  • Installed update of Firefox, but cannot drag into applications folder, it indicates that "The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges", so how can I complete the install?

    I try to drag the app into the applications folder where an old app of firefox exists and it asks me if I want to replace it and after i say yes it gives me the operation cannot be completed message.

    If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
    *Firefox 9.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    *Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    *Install the new version that you have downloaded

  • Just downloaded a song but its not showing up in my library

    My downloaded song isnt even showing that its even in my library. It shows that I payed for it and in the itunes store it says that its purchased. Help.

    Look under the Store menu in iTunes for the "Check for available downloads" command and run that. You may find the track there to be downloaded. If not, and you're in the US, just look under the Quick Links on the main iTunes Store page for the Purchased link. Click that and you should be able to find and re-download the track.
    If it's not there, or you're not in the US, contact the iTunes Store Customer Service department from their contact page and explain the problem to them.
    Regards.

  • GB limit on MP3 format?   mono 64k not showing up when dragged into track

    I cannot drag and drop files I compressed to mono 64k MP3 files with Squeeze into Garage band.
    Are there limitations in GB regarding MP3 support?
    Thanks

    I am trying to Batch compress so I don't have to wait for each output from GB and after reading that GB can use MP3s and does not uncompress compressed files was why I decided to do it that way.
    As it is now I can open the AIFF in GB add the artwork for the podcast and any other info and then export as MP4 only.
    MP4 is not compatible with MP3 players or MP3 cds.
    Soooo Long story short:
    I want to have MP3s available via the website as well as podcasts. I don't want to have to do the work twice. I don't want to have to wait for each file to be compressed before I can start on the next podcast.
    ================================
    It looks like I am locked into making all of the Podcasts MP4s if I want to use Garageband which makes the files incompatible with all the other MP3 players AFAIK.
    And when I am going to send to iWeb I will have to wait for compression.
    Then I can go back and batch compress all of the AIFF files to MP3s for everyone else.
    =================================================
    This all seems silly as PodCasting supports MP3 files.
    I guess I need to find some other software or learn more about programming PodCasts.

  • Newly downloaded version icon won't drag into Applications folder because I "don't have sufficient privileges" - what does that mean & how do I fix it?!

    I opened a new window in Firefox, which was still open from last night. I saw the notice:
    URGENT!
    Your version of Firefox is no longer protected against online attacks.
    Get the upgrade - it’s fast and free!
    So, I clicked on the download which ran fine. At step 3, drag the Firefox icon to the Applications icon, a pop up said I didn't have sufficient privileges to do that.
    What does this mean and how do I fix it?! Thank you,
    Allison

    You're welcome

    i purchased 2 books for my iPad and they downloaded successfully.  They show up in iTunes when my iPad is connected to my Mac but do not show up on the Mac.  Is this a synch issue?  When I click the Synch box I am warned that downloads on my iPad will be erased.  Is that true?  My ultimate goad is to be able to read the books on my iPhone as well.  Thanks.

    You should be able to copy them to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases and you can then sync them to the iPhone (or you could re-download them directly on the iPhone)

  • Content purchased from iTunes store are downloaded but do not show up in library (iTunes 11) even after manual add

    Hi all,
    I upgraded to iTunes 11 recently and have now purchased some additional content from the iTunes store. The files have been downloaded but do not show up in my library. A search yields some results but I cannot access the songs in my library nor can I add them to 'up next' although the option is available from the search results menu.
    First thing I tried was to add them again manually but the problem persists. Any clues?
    Thanks and Best
    Frank

    OK, I found a solution. Here it goes, just in case anybody else comes across this issue:
    I deleted all the relevant entries from the iTunes Libary.xml AND iTunes Music Library.xml files (with iTunes closed, of course) and removed the files on the harddrive library structure to another location. I then restarted iTunes and added the album manually to my library again. In my case, I got iTunes to handle my library and the files were thus copied back to my old structure by the iTunes. To finish I reimported the album artwork and that was that.
    Hope that I won't encounter this issue with future purchases under iTunes11, this workaround IS a bit of a hassle!

    USB Drives works, but does not show up in "Safely Remove Hardware"
    Here are my symptom
    - USB Flash Drives , USB External HDD works normally
    - I can see them in "My Computer"
    - I can open "Safely Remove Hardware" via Run Command, but there is no device in the list
    - They show up as "Disk drives" in device manager
    - When I right click their icons in "My Computer", there is no option to "Eject" them
    - In "Disk Management", they show up as "Basic". Prior to this issue, they were "Removable"
    After I tested, it seems that my Vista detects every USB storage device as a normal HDD.
    I don't know why but I'd appreciate any help because I have to plug-in and remove those drives often, especially flash drives.

  • Successfully downloaded os x lion, but does not show as installed

    Bought and successively downloaded os x lion on my Mac, but does not show as installed

    That's one of the confusing things about the App store.  The app you purchase there is the Installer.
    If you've successfully run the installer then your Mac is on Lion but the last step of the install proceedure deletes the Installer from your apps directory.  The App store then reflects that the Installer is not installed on the system..  which is true.
    You can redownload the installer from the app store if needed.  If the installer is still in the Apps directory then you probably haven't installed Lion yet, just downloaded it.
