Can't Install Applications - Please Help
I have an iMac that has been working fine, and then out of the blue, I tried to install something and it won't let me install it.
The installed pops up an icon that asks me to drag the icon to the Applications icon and when I do that, I get this error message:
"The alias "Applications" can't be opened because the original item can't be found"
How can I fix this?
In the Finder, under Places, there is something that says Applications and it lists all of my apps however, if I click on my actual login name, and go the the Applications folder there, it is blank.
Thanks in advance.
You are not going to see a applications folder under you user folder. Applications live in other Devices.
I think you maybe installing this particular app. wrong. How about delete it and any alias. Do a fresh download of the app. and open the package. Drag the app to the appl folder on the sidebar of the finder and see if this works.

Can't install itunes, PLEASE Help
Hello! first of all thanks for clicking on this and having a look at my issue.
I have a problem with downloading itunes, it goes all through the installation gets to the end and comes up with this nonsense error message anyone know what this is about? please help, thanks!For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it, which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

I'm getting an error message on Windows 8. Missing apple application support. Itunes will not install. Please help!!, I'm getting an error message on Windows 8. Missing apple application support. Itunes will not install. Please help!!
You probably need to either uninstall and reinstall itunes or to download the apple application support by itself
you can download the itunes http://www.apple.com/itunes/ here
then to do a complete uninstall / reinstall follow these instructions http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
you could also use 7zip to extract the individual installer for apple application support from the itunes setup file http://www.7-zip.org -
have iphone 3gs v 4,2.1 i want to upgrade to ios 5 i will erase all data, how can i install again the software, and now my device can not be detect to my computer? what can i do? please help me..
You can not install iOS 5. It is no longer signed by Apple. You can only install the current version of iOS. For a 3GS, that's 6.1.3.
However... if you have 4.2.1 on your phone, odds are it is not a 3GS, it is a 3G. If that's the case, you've reached the end of the road for that. It can not run anything higher than 4.2.1. -

I use iphone4,but can't find apple store application please help me
I use iphone4,but can't find apple store application please help me
Malek,
Facetime for iphone is not available in the App Store because it is already built into any iphone that is FaceTime compatible, and I think that includes iphone 4. You should be able to find Facetime amongst the other built in applications that came with it. However, it is possible that if it was purchased in certain countries where Facetime is not allowed, the App was not included. -

Anyone can teach me?If it has finished downloading it starts automatically. All you do is click on the Install button. If his isn't what has happened, then the download is incomplete or corrupted or you did not download it from the App Store.
