Can't Stop Downloaded Apps From Going To Dmg.Txt

Hello, My name is CarlosM101 and i am a design major in school. i have recently converted from Pc to mac..and im having a major problem..
i have been trying to download a file decompression program, and when it begins to download..it goes to Dmg.Txt...so when its done..all i get is a bunch of jibberish on a textedit thing...and im so confused and have no idea how to go about changing it..all help is very much appreciated
thank you

CarlosM101,
You might try renaming the downloaded file by deleting the .txt portion, leaving .dmg as the sole extension. Do this by highlighting the file, and from the File menu select Get Info (or press Command + I). Make the change under the Name & Extension triangle in the Info window that pops up. Alternately, you could highlight the file and then hit your Return key so that the name of the file becomes editable.
Once the .txt extension is removed you should see an alert asking if you're sure you want to change the extension from .txt to .dmg. Go ahead and click on the "Use .dmg" button. And then try double-clicking on the download to see if the disk image volume mounts.
On the rare occasions when I've had a similar experience, this is what I've done and it has worked for me...
Good luck!

How can I stop my screen from going on and off when I play games ?

HOw can I stop my screen from going on and off all the time when I touch it.

Maybe it is a hardware problem, but you will not know that unless you start eliminating all possible software issues. Try this. Close all apps in the recents tray and reboot your iPad.
Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

I can no longer download Apps from App store nor update the existing ones

iMac 21" Intel
year 2013
OSX10.10.1
I can no longer download Apps from App Store.
I would select the app, press the icon to download the App (Ottieni in my language, Italian), download would not start and an alarm saying "Download failed, try from the Purchased page to retry" would pop-up, see screenshot below.
I would visit the page "Purchased" (second icon from right) and try from there by pressing the icon Install on the right hand side but the same pop-up icon would appear and a message by the icon Install saying "An error occurred" would appear.
The same problem occurr when I try to update Keynote, Imovie or any other App I have downloaded.
I do not know whether this is related to this issue but some time ago I installed Avast.
I could not install other apps such as uTorrent (not downloaded through App Store) until I removed Avast.
I am utterly disappointed.
Can anyone help, please?
Thanks.
Carlo

Yes, Avast could very well be the issue. Bad software, use the developer's instructions to uninstall and don't install again. Your Mac has no real need for most 3rd party anti-viral software and those so-called tune-up apps mess up more than they are worth. A pristine OS X system is all that you need, it takes care of itself.

Can I stop 'current song' from going to top?

If you want to turn them off, you need to go into Settings > Messages > iMessage = OFF. If you want your daughter to use a different device, you will need to set up a 2nd Apple ID and use that account to log in on the other device.

How can I stop the program from going through all of the text previously put in. It is making the process very slow.

while True:
and just indent everything else under it
Ends when you press ^C.
if you wish to have a way to break out of the loop, say, when you press enter at the VPC number without entering anything, add the following after your vpc input:
if not vpc:
break
which will break out of the while loop and end your program.

You need to go to the Messages settings on her iPod and remove the Apple ID, or at least the email address, you use for iMessages.

Why can i not download apps from australia

I live in the UK and wish to download apps from Australia like TENplay but unable to, why is that and when will apple allow us to do so?

It's not Apple's choice. All content is licensed by the rights-holders to Apple to sell on a country-by-country basis, each country therefore has to have its own store and you have to be in a country to use its store. You can try requesting that the app be added to the UK store, but unless the rights-holder agrees to it then Apple can't sell it here : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

How can i stop my apps from transferring off my ipod when the software updates?

whenever i install new software updates, my ipod touch takes everything off and transfers it to my computer. when it puts everything back, anything ive paid for i lose. is there is way to stop the apps from transferring so i dont lose everything ive already paid for, or losing my place in a game i play?

In iTunes use the File menu "Transfer purchases from..." item. Ordinarily you will get a warning to do this before an update. Presumably your computer is authorized to use your account and it is the computer to which you normally sync your iPod?

Why can't I download apps from App store? I get error message to log into Itunes but when I do I have no idea what to do!?

I'm stuck. Can't download any apps. Error message directs me to iTunes. No idea what to do when I get to iTunes. Still can't download anything. Dead in the water.

If you are trying to download apps over 20MB in size, you can't do it via 3G. You can download them via WiFi.
When you go to iTunes on your computer, from the menu at the top - go to Store>Check for available downloads.

Can I stop my iMessages from going to more than one device

I have recently purchased an iPad and would like to know if I can stop my iMessages that I send off my iPad from going to my iPhone ... My iPad is set up to my email account and my iPhone to my phone number and I would like to use them separately so that my daughter can use the iPad to text and they won't keep coming to my phone.. Is this possible I have looked through many of the settings and have not been able to find anything... Any ideas?

How can i not download app from icloud

A few months ago i played a game called clash of clans. and was using my brothers apple ID on my phone. few days after that i deleted it and had a new id on my phone. then recently i download it again. but it still showed my brothers record. i ve changed everything like game center, icloud, i tune store id but it just kept that record. it was shown downloaded from icloud. so how can i download the game and start a new account?

That means it was previously purchased and available to redownload from iTunes in the Cloud. This still downloads it from the App store. No apps (or other purchased media for that matter) are stored in your personal iCloud account. Even when you restore from an iCloud backup your media is simply redownloaded from the iTunes and App store.

How can you stop a picture from going to Photostream?

Hi,
Please pardon the delicate nature of this question..it is not meant to be salacious.
However, I cannot figure out WHY anyone would use photostream. Like any number of normal people, my IOS device might ocassionally take pictures that I do not want to be uploaded to photostream, and certainly NOT shared with other family devices.
As I understand it, If I have Photostream enabled, any time I take a picture with my IOS device, I have NO WAY to stop it from going immediately to photostream or being synced on other computers or IOS devices?!?
Given this beheavior, and my understandign of how it works, why would anyone ever sync their photos to Photostream?
Aren't there a LOT of instances where you might be using your phone to take pictures that you do not want shared with family devices?
For example, I use my iPhone for research in stores...I see a gift idea, I take a quick picture. Now I have the price, the name of the item, where I found it, and all that great info. I do this ALL THE TIME. However, I certanly wouldn't want my gift research to get synced with my home mac, where someone might see it and ruin a surprise.
I have not yet enabled Photostream because there doesn't seem to be any way I have read about to Stop a photo from being shared, other than to simply never use the service.
IS there a workaround?

What you probably need to remember is that the iCloud account is intended to be a personal account not one that is shared between all devices belonging to the same family.
If you have no use for photo stream at all, then I suggest you do as you do now, and keep it turned off all of the time. If however you have occasional uses for it, photos taken on your device will only sync with photo stream when photo stream is turned on, so you'll have the ability to take photos without them being synced to all your devices, if you wish to do so.

I can't install downloaded apps from itunes

For such applications read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_VoIP_software
Only those that are compatable with OS X can be installed on your Mac
So all of the ones listed there for mobile device will not work
