10.4.8 - Cannot Download & Install ANYTHING!

bottom-line...I have been a MAC user since 1984-85 and since downloading/upgrading to 10.4.8 I cannot download Aperature or any other downloads....
Have had no problem with all other OS's, but with 10.4.8 I cannot download ANYTHING properly...even the software I am willing to pay Apple $$$$ for.

Mention of "mounting failed" suggestes you can download but that you can't get the .dmg images to open and mount. You can also open Applications> Utilities> Console and check the console.log for error messages related to failed attempts to open the .dmg files.
There are some tips in this thread: in Terminal, enter the following two lines, pressing Return/Enter after each line:
sudo kextunload -c com.apple.AppleDiskImageController
sudo kextload -b com.apple.AppleDiskImageController
If you control-click on the .dmg image and select Open With..., the default option should be for DiskImageMounter; see if selecting between the default and Disk Utility makes any difference. Ditto launching Disk Utility and trying to open the file from the Disk Utility File menu.
Also try moving ~/Users/ [username]/ Library/ Preferences/ com.apple.frameworks.diskimages.diskimagesuiagent.plist to the Desktop.
Also do Get Info on the downloaded files and confirm that your user account is shown as the owner with read/write permissions on the file.
You want to re-apply the 10.4.8 Combo updater, as baltwo already noted.

  • Cannot download/install game due to low memory, ca...

    Whenever I try to download the game"Imperium - ROTS", I get a message stating that I do not have enough memory to download. The game is 226 Mb, and I have ~1gb available.
    However, I can download/install "Asphalt Overdrive", which is 268mb.
    Why can't I downloaded imperium? I've deleted apps/games and restarted. I'm using a Lumia 520 running the latest version of Windows Phone 8.1.

    Hello, DerpyBacon. Where do you usually save the downloaded apps? Have you tried moving some of them to SD card or phone memory to check if there's any difference? We'll wait for your reply. 

  • Cannot Download/Install Adobe Editions 1.7.2

    I cannot download Adobe Digital Editions 1.7.2.
    I'm currently running CS5.5 on Mac OSX 10.7.2 - The Digital Editions download page tells me "Sorry, but your system does not meet the minimum system requirements".
    Has this app not been updated to work with 10.7.2?
    And, if not, will it be updated?

    Alex, I thought about what you said again.  I think you may be on the edge
    of discussing digital rights content management, which is different from
    Flash.  Let me take a moment to talk about that.
    Adobe Content Server 5 or above has been adopted as one of the industry
    standard protocols for publishers, distributors and authors to use to
    implement digital rights.  Although it's embedded in ADE, it's also
    embedded in other epublication management software, such as Overdrive,
    Calibre and Bluefire reader.  If some of the ebooks you're working with
    have digital rights protection, it's because the publisher or distributor
    specified whether you're allowed to copy or print the epublication you're
    working with.  Amazon and Apple have chosen to use a different method to
    activate digital rights protection in the epublications they distribute.
    So, if you have an ebook with digital rights and you attempt to download it
    from Apple onto a Mac, it will act differently than if you went to another
    site (except Amazon) and tried to download it onto your Mac.  In the first
    instance, Apple will manage the process completely, interfacing with its
    software on the Mac, and putting the ebook into an Apple library.  In the
    second instance, ADE will manage the process and put the ebook into its own
    library.
    Flash doesn't do any of this.  If it's preventing you from going further,
    it's managing application access, not application actions.
    Does that make sense in explaining any of what's going on?

  • I cannot download/install AVG virus protection and Adobe Flash Player and both seem related to Firefox

    The free version of AVG goes through most of the installation, then stops, says there is a problem and I should look at Firefox security bar at top of page, which I never find.
    Trying to download/install Flash Player, pretty much the same frustration, time after time.

    Close Firefox before running the Flash installer - that's Adobe's rules for installing the Plugin version of Flash.

  • Cannot download/install adobe flash player

    Having issues downloading the newest version of flash player,  When visiting hulu I'm told to download the newest version.  I visit the download page, even after verifiying I already have the newest version, I then attempted to uninstall and then reinstall but still not working.  I've tried through both IE and Firefox, IE says it cannot be downloaded and Firefox downloads but wont install.
    I''m not very comouter savvy so any help avasilable would be nice, in language I can understand:)
    Thanks for your time.

    Hi Ash. I would try first making sure that everything you have in the way of Flash player right this minute is totally uninstalled on your PC, that is if you are using a PC. Go to control panel uninstall programs find that thing & zap it. Also if you are using Internet explorer & Firefox then you may have a problem with Firefox trying to but in with the download. For some reason Firefox doesn't always play nice with certain downloads like printer drivers, software updates & things like that. Not sure why. I suggest you uninstall Firefox as well, before you download Flash . You can always re-install it if you like it. I love Google Chrome myself but go with what your comfortable with. Once you have these done go back to the download page & make sure your download is for the 64 bit version of Flash player. First things first get rid of the flash player you have on there now & dump Firefox. Go to control panel find these two & uninstall.  Write me back if need to.

  • App Store - Error 13 - Cannot download/install Mountain Lion

    Hello,
    I tried to upgrade to Mountain Lion via the App Store on my early 2011 MacBook Pro running Lion OS X. Whenever I try to purchase Mountain Lion I am greeted with an error 13 message. I have followed the various other forums suggesting I delete file ~/Library/Cookies/com.apple.appstore.plist in the App Store cookies however this fails to work.
    I have also tried the following:
    Per post above, enable debug menu via
    defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -bool true
    Sign out
    Clear cookies AND reset the app, using debug menu
    Select Menu->Store->Check for unfinished downloads
    Wait for the downloads to finish and then
    restart the app store app.
    But it failed to work! :(
    Thanks in advance for any help as at the moment I am unable to install Mountain Lion and it's rather annoying!

  • Cannot download/install Lion on MacBook4,1

    Hi,
    I've just bought Lion to install over the top of 10.6.8 on an old MacBook4,1. I've redeemed the code I got from Apple and OS X Lion appeared in the App Store "Purchases" with a download button. But pressing the download button doesn't appear to do much, except asking me to sign in. Once signed in, I get a "loading" animation for a second, but then that disappears and the button still says "Download".
    However, if I reboot, then "Downloading Lion (Paused)" or similar appears in the dock. I can click "resume", which does nothing. I can click "cancel", which also does nothing, unless I reboot again, after which it disappears and I'm back to square one, except I'm unable to see OS X Lion in "Purchases" unless I go into my account and unhide purchases.
    I see nothing in downloads, nothing in applications.
    Pint for anyone who can solve it.

    Problem solved. It downloaded very very silently. Appeared in Applications eventually.

  • Cannot download/install OS X Maverics

    I have a Mac with Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63b) that I bought in 2010. It has 4 GB of RAM, 100+ GB of free space, and hence I think my machine fits the requirements given here for free upgrade to install OS X Maverics.
    I pressed the download button to install Maverics from the AppStore. I get a popup to give my Apple ID and password. Once I give that nothing happens - no response and the download button appears again. The OS X Maverics gets listed in "Purcahses" tab as well, but even if I press there, nothing happens. Could any of you please HELP?
    - Ganesh

    I'm having the same problem too, except with me the download has been stuck on "waiting" for 2 days now. It was working fine until it got to half of the download, then I've been having "waiting" ever since.

  • Cannot Download & Install OS 3.1.2 - Any Ideas/Help?

    Every time I attempt to download the new OS for my iPod Touch, I can only download it to 264.9mb out of 265mb and then pops up and error box saying my network connection timed out and to check my network (which is just fine and tried it 3 different connection locations) and gave error code -3259. Help? Thank you.

    I'm having the same problem, and it's extremely frustrating. I have a relatively fast internet, yet it tells me it'll take 9 hours. Then after about 2 hours of loading (and only 1/5 of the way done), the network times out. This is the fourth time I've tried.
    I turned off my firewall etc and it didn't help.

Wishing you as always the BEST for future Success for Mozilla Browser & thanks very much for the latest Version of a fantastic browser. Fondest regards to all The Team at Mozilla!

    Adobe no longer supports Flash on Android. Adobe doesn't recommend this (this versions have vulnerabilities) but if you really want it, you can try installing an old version from their archives - http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html#Flash%20Player%20archives (you'll have to scroll down to find the Android versions).

  • Cannot download Reader: "Adobe wants to make changes?

    I cannot download/install Reader on my iMac. Response is "Adobe wants to make changes." Asks for a password which I do not have or cannot remember. What should I do.?
    Don K.

    If you don’t remember your administrator password, you can reset it using the Mac OS X installation disc.
    Important:Because a user with the Mac OS X installation disc can gain unrestricted access to your computer, you should keep the disc in a safe place.
    To reset the administrator password using the Mac OS X installation disc:
      Insert the Mac OS X installation disc into your computer’s optical drive (or an optical drive connected to your computer), and then double-click the Install Mac OS X icon.
    Note: If you’re using another computer’s optical drive, make sure your computer is set up for remote installation, and then go to step 3. For more information about remote installation, see:
    Using Remote Install Mac OS X   
      In the Installer, click Utilities, and then click Restart.
      When the Language Chooser appears, select your language, and then click the Continue button (looks like an arrow).
      In the Installer, choose Utilities > Reset Password.
      Follow the onscreen instructions to change the password.
    Be sure to change the password for your login keychain to match your new account password so your keychain is unlocked when you log in.

  • Since installing IOS7.0.2 my iPad keeps rebooting itself every few minutes.  I can't do anything with it and cannot download the new IOS7.2 because it doesn't run long enough to accomplish the download.  What can I do?

    Since installing IOS7.0.2 my iPad keeps rebooting itself every few minutes.  I can't do anything with it and cannot download the new IOS7.2 because it doesn't run long enough to accomplish the download.  What can I do?

    Try a Restart. 
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
     Resetting your settings
    You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
    Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple. 
    Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.
