Doesn't even begin to install and can't read Readme file

I inserted the DVD in my Mac, but after some whirring, no installation screen came up.
I clicked on the DVD icon, which showed various versions of the Readme file, but when I clicked on the ReadMe, it just opened FIrefox to my home page.
I'm using an intel iMac 10.6.2.
Thank you for any help!

Thanks! I thought I had tried that, but I also had expected that it would just install since that's what other products on the Mac seem to do.
Thank you again for your help!

  • Why doesn't flash player stay installed and why does the saved file disappear.

    Why doesn't flash player stay installed and why does the saved file disappear.  I have downloaded and installed flash player several times on my Win7 Vaio laptop. I have uninstalled and deleted all versions.  I am the administrator and I have also turned off my Security Software, but the same thing keeps happening over and over.  The Java Script is enabled and I have tried both downloading via IE and firefox.  It is rediculous that it keeps disappearing and I keep getting messages that the newest version is needed.  I am downloading directly from adobe and they say it is the latest.  Getting very frustrated.  They ask if we have any problems when we go to the finish line, but there is no place for comments.  I guess they don't really care if it works or not.

    So is it actually installed, or is it not?  If not, download and run the offline installers:
    Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
    Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
    If it still does not work correctly, check

    In Firefox also check if the Shockwave Flash plugin is enabled.

  • Clean install and can't find iWeb files

    Apple techs helped me do a clean install after a remote hacker incident ... the talked me through the moving my data etc. I find some 4 yr old  iWeb files and I have reinstalled iWeb - but I do not know how to "open" the old files - it looks like it's an original version of the old website I created. I have no recollection what information I need (or how to) get the structure back onto the website. I always saved a backup of whatever I published, but now see nothing with newer dates.
    I need help to connect iWeb and my website. I feel like an idiot!
    Thanks!

    If you have a domain file with your site in it you can do the following:
    To open your domain file in Lion, Mountain Lion or Mavericks or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
    do shell script"/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"
    delay 1
    tell application "iWeb" to activate
    You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
    Just launch the application, find and select the domain file in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder that you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
    WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder.  So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.
    NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible in Lion or Mt. Lion enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    For Mavericks, 10.9,  go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Optionsmenu to bring the this window:
    NOTE:  with the Sandbox/Gatekeeper of Mavericks you may have to go to the System/Security and Privacy preference pane to be able to launch the iWeb Switch Domain application:
    HOWEVER, if you don't have a domain file with the site files in it you'll have to start over from scratch.  In that event, it would be wise to follow Ethmoid's suggestion and migrate to another application like EverWeb, etc.

  • Can't open itunes,even after un-installing and then re-installing!

    I keep getting the following error message when trying to open itunes on my pc.
    'The folder "itunes" cannot be found or created, and is required.The default location for this folder is inside the "my music" folder.'
    This error message appeared even after un-installing and re-installing itunes.
    I conducted a search for the 'my music' folder,and it came up with nothing.
    Please help!

    If you truly don't have a folder named C/......./My Music, there are bigger problems with that PC.
    That folder is a default windows XP folder and should be there.
    The file extensions setting is easy to change. Win Explorer > Tools > Folder options
    http://www.fileinfo.com/help/windows-show-extensions.html
    If your music folder really doesn't exist, see if you can do the shift-start and CREATE a new library. It will be blank, but at least that will tell us if itunes can even start. It will NOT run without an ITL library file.

  • I removed chrome 10 and newly installed FF4 final, and I can't read PDF files within the browser. There was no problem in Chrome.

    I removed chrome 10 and newly installed FF4 final, and I can't read PDF files within the browser. There was no problem in Chrome. I can't even see the acrobat reader plugin in the plugins page. Acrobat 10 is already installed in my PC. Every time I try to read a PDF file on the web, FF tries to download it instead.

    As recommended above by Bernd Alheit, I posted this on the Adobe Reader forum. There, I received the advice to repair the installation under the help menu, which I did and it fixed the problem.
    Similar to your solution but found it's a fix found under "HELP" menu and not Add/Remove.
    Thank you.

  • Stuck in Bootcamp Windows install and can't get out

    late 2009 iMac with Mavericks with homemade fusion drive with super drive removed.
    Was working fine until i tried to use bootcamp to install Windows 7. Now I'm stuck in the Windows partition, windows won't install and can't get out of the loop.  Machine boots white screen with no apple logo and chimes. Eventually has black screen with No bootabe device -- insert boot disk and press any key. I have a USB drive. I've tried everything. Doesn't seem to be recognizing bluetooth keyboard. No sort of button combination on startup works. Tried holding X, command-alt PR, shift, command-R, option. Tried everything. Light doesn't come on on keyboard in startup which means it's probably not recognized. Tried disconnecting internal drives and booting from USB. Tried booting from Time Machine USB drive. Nothings works. Think a USB keyboard would solves this?

    I have gotten in this loop.  When doing this kind of thing, a usb keyboard would be good to have around, and that is probably the problem, because when I would boot, the first time set the windows partition to the default drive.  Hold the key combo and boot into OSX, and go into Settings/Startup Disk/ and change it to The osx hd.

    Mac OS 10.10.2 is installed and can open documents on my new Mac Air but an error message occurs when trying to attach a PDF to emails.  Apple was not able to fix.  Any thoughts?

    The message says:
    Please wait
    If this message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of your document, your PDF viewer may not be able to display this type of document. 
    Then it goes on to suggest an Reader upgrade, which I already did.

    I must be more specific:
    I am attempting to send a vcf from a Windows Computer using Outlook to another Email account that syncs with an iPhone. When I read the e-mail on the iPhone, I can't see the vcf file. But I can see the contact on outlook as a VCF.

  • When updating itunes I get the message the install package can't find a file (itunes.msi) I've searched but can't find this file.  How do I install it?

    When updating itunes I get the message the install package can't find a file (itunes.msi) I've searched but can't find this file.  How do I install it?

    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

    Be more precise and tell us the exact details. If you have issues with items being too small, your graphics settings and all that are critical, don't you think? Sorry, but just saying you're on some HP laptop with Win 7 is not helpful. Follow the instructions to obtain exact system info:
