Can't Download Widgets with Leopard?

Hello All,
I'm trying to download some widgets off Apple's website and upon selecting to download the widget, it then asks,
"Do you want to install the widget “Word of the Day-2” and open it in Dashboard?"
and when I click install it immediatley tells me this,
"Installing the widget “Word of the Day-2” failed."
These are examples but it tells me the same for every widget I try to download!
I have Leopard 10.5.2 on a new iMac
I'm new to Mac and am angry with myself for using PC so many years
Any help is appreciated and thanks in advance

I've got the same problem as musichouse2. I downloaded 10.5.1 on my G4 Laptop on 1/12/08; three days later the popup window won't let me in. It seems like everything I left the PC world for is coming back and biting me in the butt. I'm not a techie and am dubious about trying out what's been recommended in article 306876, so if any of you smart folk out there have walked the walk, I'd appreciate any assistance you can lend.

    Can I download Lion with an AT&T 4G wireless device?

    I would have expected the question to go, "can I RE-download..." if that were the case, which is why I gave the long version.
    I recently bought Mountain Lion by this method, and was surprised by how convoluted it is AND how long you may wait for the download code to be sent. Once installed, I can RE-download on a whim, as Mountain Lion does appear on my Purchases page in the MacApp Store.

    If you need to find your serial number for a non-creative cloud product as mentioned above, start by logging in to your adobe account. (Go to Adobe .com  and click “Sign In” in the upper-right menu bar. Enter the email you use as your Adobe ID and your password.) All of your registered products and their serial numbers are listed in the Plans & Products section on the Manage Accounts page that appears.

  • Can't Download Images with Right-Click on Mouse

    I can't download images by right-clicking my mouse, like I do on my PC. For example, check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Dakota and look at the images of the flag, state seal and map near the top right corner of the page...
    When I place my cursor over any of these images on either my PC or my MacBook Pro, my cursor changes to a hand, indicating that the images are hyperlinked. If I right-click on an image, I can choose a SAVE AS command on my PC, but nothing happens on my MacBook Pro.
    If I left-click on a linked image, it simply zooms in, rather than taking me to another page. I'm using a small Kensington mouse.
    This could be a Firefox problem. I think I recall downloading some sort of extension that allows you to zoom in on images, and I suspect it's more or less taken over. If so, I'll have to track down the name of the extension and try and zap it.
    But I thought I'd check here first, just to see if other people have this same problem - or if you can suggest alternate strategies for downloading images.
    Thanks.

    Well, I found a novel solution - it's called Safari.
    I'll post on the Firefox forum to figure out why I
    can't download images with it, but it seems to work
    just fine with Apple's native browser. Thanks for all
    the tips.
    I just tried it, but I am using firefox 2.0 beta and I had no problems. Not sure what's going on. Have you tried any other pages or pics besides this one, which I don't think it would matter just wondering.

  • Does Adobe Send allow you to select how many days your files can be downloaded - as with Adobe Send Now? Also, why don't I see the virus scanning message any longer with "Send" versus "Send Now"?

    Does Adobe Send allow you to select how many days your files can be downloaded - as with Adobe Send Now? Also, why don't I see the virus scanning message any longer with "Send" versus "Send Now"?

    We relied upon the "days available for download" to get people to take
    action more quickly. The "virus scanning" progress bar was simply another
    way of knowing this activity was actually taking place - unless this is
    written somewhere in the Adobe Send User Guide.....wherever that is.

    Can I download IOS7 with the Pearson etext app still working

    The lapdocks were running a 'normal' ARM Linux install and just used the desktop Linux Firefox. The ARM Linux version of Desktop Firefox won't run on Android's Dalvik VM (Java). We did not do the customization for that Motorola did and last I heard they had stopped supporting lapdocks.

  • I can´t download files with Real Player whwn I upsated Firefox.

    I was told to update Firefox whichI did. After that I can´t download files with Real Player which I could before I updated.

    You cannot download files to the iPad via Safari.  You download them on your computer and synch them through iTunes.

  • Can't download anything in Leopard

    Since I installed Leopard I'm unable to install anything because my administrators name and password is not valid. Apple may have an update to take care of the problem as shown below however I can't download a fix because I have to give my administrators name and password. Yikes! Help!
    The Login & Keychain Update 1.0 for Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard is recommended for all Leopard installations. It addresses issues you may encounter when:
    Logging in with an account originally created in Mac OS X 10.1 or earlier that has a password of 8 or more characters.

  • Can I download itunes with a Windows 8.1 operating system?

    how can I download itunes for windows 8.1 operating system?

    You can add a tile for iTunes to the start screen in Win 8.1 but it will still (and I suspect will for the indefinite future) run as a desktop application.  Metro apps are more like those on smartphones ... all Microsoft's major software products (Office, Visio, etc.) all run on the desktop even though the latest releases post-date Windows 8.
    I can't see any motivation for Apple to change iTunes for as long as Microsoft continue to have desktop support in Windows (which, unless they want to alienate all their enterprise customers, they must do for at least the next decade).  Likewise support for Windows RT (which I suspect is dying, given that MS didn't release a Surface 3 in parallel with the Pro 3) or Windows Phone is going to be very low on Apple's priority list given the direct competition with iOS devices.

    Any chance you can be a little bit more specific? What exactly do you attempt? What exactly happens when you attempt it? Are any error messages presented? If so, what is the exact and complete content of them?

    I have no clue what that means ("sot"???), and of course cannot interpret "etc", so I risk redundancy. Nevertheless...
    With a strong carrier network signal (e.g., not merely WiFi), I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
    1) Register HRT
    KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
    Please wait for one "registration" message to arrive to your Messages app
    2) Delete and Resend Service Books (pre-BB10 devices only)
    KB05000Delete the service book for the BlackBerry Internet Service email account from the BlackBerry smartphone
    If you have no CMIME entry, then skip the deletion
    KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
    Please wait for "Activation" Messages, one per already configured email account, to arrive in your Messages. If you have no already configured email accounts, please wait 1 hour.
    3) Reboot
    With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes.
    See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
    Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should try deleting and re-adding your configurations for the affected email accounts. Otherwise, you should contact your mobile service provider for formal support.
    Good luck!

  • Can I download subtittles with my itunes movie?

    Hi
    My children are deaf and I need to download subtitles with my movie purchases on itunes?

    If you mean using another Apple ID, yes you can, but when you start switching between Apple ID's, you open yourself up to a whole bunch of issues.
    Why do you want to use another Apple ID, if that is what you are even asking about? So exactly what is a secondary account?
