Downloaded apps keep asking to be installed
Hi all, it seems that everytime I try to open a non-native app, like Google Chrome or Evernote, I get the installation dialogue box. Then, even more strangely, the app shows up as a "disk" in my Finder and can be "ejected" like a flash drive or something. In practice, it's not more than a minor annoyance, but I'd really like to stop this from happening because it's super frustrating. Any advice?
Are you actually installing these apps by dragging their icons onto the Applications folder alias (at the bottom of the window in this example) or are you just dragging the .dmgs you've downloaded into your Applications folder and launching the apps by double-clicking on the icons in the .dmg files you've downloaded? If the latter, then that's your problem.

Cannot download apps, keep asking me to agree new terms
I am trying to download skype for ipad through iTunes for windows (10.7.0.21). However after I entered my password, it jumped to the page saying I need to agree the new terms and conditions and privacy policy.
I checked the "I have read" checkbox and clicked on "Agree" button, but I got stuck here. The very same page is showing up again and again.
Anyone have any ideas?It's happening on ALL my devices. iPhone 4, 5, iPad 3, iPod 4th gen & my iMac 27"! It's also happening on my brother's iPhone 4S. It's obviously affecting most everyone if not everyone.

What do I do? I have already downloaded OS Yosemite (it says so on my Apple>About this mac>overview) but now I keep getting a message from "install Yosemite" that keeps asking me to install Yosemite again and won't go away.
I have the same issue. My computer has also slowed down. I hope this isn't a malware. I haven't input my password into it, and dont know what I did to turn this on.
Hope someone else can give some insight -

Use this link Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool - Adobe Labs
When you have downloaded it, then clean out the old adobe reader and then try to install the latest one, i had to do this about a week ago and it solved the problem.

I want to download the "FREE" iPhoto duplicate remover software, but the download process keeps asking me for my payment information. I have tried it several times.. But it says I cannot download this app unless I give my payment information.. So I went back and looked again and again.. and it still says it's "Free"...
You need to contact the authors re download or payment issues - we are only users like yourself and help with iPhoto for the Mac issues
here is Old TOad's list of potential packages including his comments
These applications will identify and help remove duplicate photos from an iPhoto Library:
iPhoto Library Manager - $29.95
Duplicate Annihilator - $7.95 - only app able to detect duplicate thumbnail files or faces files when an iPhoto 8 or earlier library has been imported into another.
PhotoSweeper - $9.95 - This app can search by comparing the image's bitmaps or histograms thus finding duplicates with different file names and dates.
DeCloner - $19.95 - can find duplicates in iPhoto Libraries or in folders on the HD.
DupliFinder - $7 - shows which events the photos are in.
iPhoto AppleScript to Remove Duplicates - Free
PhotoDedupo - $4.99 (App Store) - this app has a "similar" search feature which is like PhotoSweeper's bitmap comparison. It found all duplicates
Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto - free - was able to recognize the duplicated HDR and normal files from an iPhone shooting in HDR
Some users have reported that PhotoSweeper did the best in finding all of the dups in their library: iphoto has duplicated many photos, how...: Apple Support Communities.
If you have an iPhone and have it set to keep the normal photo when shooting HDR photos the two image files that are created will be duplicates in a manner of speaking (same image) but there are only twp apps that detected the iPhone HDR and normal photos as being duplicates: PhotoSweeper and Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto. None of the other apps detected those two files as being duplicates as they look for file name as well as other attributes and the two files from the iPhone have different file names.
iPLM, however, is the best all around iPhoto utility as it can do so much more than just find duplicates. IMO it's a must have tool if using iPhoto.

The Age app keeps asking for my password even though I am a subscriber. The developer can't fix it.
The Age app keeps asking for my password in subscriber content pages, even though I pay for subscription to access all areas. The Age can't fix the problem.
Try deleting and re-installing the app
Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray BEFORE doing the reset.
Be a little more insistant with the app developer. If it his/her code after all. -
App keeps asking for serial number (which I don't have)
I've downloaded my app (Audition) that my company already purchased for me. The app keeps asking for my serial number (which I don't have). When I'm logged into Creative Cloud, Audition appears in my account. What gives?
Hi Ratandeep Arora
I followed the instructions, made the changes suggested, and it's still asking me for a serial number.
I can't use my app that we paid for. Very frustrating.

My Flash Player keeps asking me to install it again?
Every time I open a certain program or game online my computer wants me to download the new version of Flash Player, the issue is that I have downloaded it and done everything the program needs me to do on my MAC. Then when I go to re-open the program/ game it says that I need to download it. I am now at a complete lost of what to do and can not use certain programs because of this issue. What should I do???

This is my 3rd time posting on here. I have not recieved any answers to my problem. Does anybody know why the Adobe Flash Player keeps asking me to install it again and again after I have installed it? It would be nice to get an answer for this.
It is very unlikely that you get an answer, as you do not provide any basic information. -
Keeps asking me to install latest version of flash?
Hi,
I'm running Windows 7 64 bit, but using the 32bit version of IE9. I have installed the Flash player 11.0.1.152, but I can't view videos on youtube or just about anywhere else. It keeps asking me to install the latest version of flash. I uninstalled then reinstalled it, but still not working.
I'm not sure if this started when I upgraded to IE9 not that long ago, or if it's unrelated to that...
Any help would be much appreciated, I'm not really tech savvy!
Thanks,

Downloading apps it asks for apple ID Pass then it says "verification required". Then says Security Code required. Doesn't accept code. itunes doesn't accept code from visa card either?Please Help
If it is trying to verify your payment info, I would be willing to guess that it is looking for the security code for your credit card. Did you credit card just get replaced lately or the expiration date change? When is the last time that you updated your payment information in iTunes?

My os is windows 8.1. I use firefox. I play facebooks farmville 2. It keeps asking me to install the new 3d flash player which is already installed. I've followed your steps and nothing has worked. I cannot play farmville 2 on firefox because of the necessity of installing the flash player which is already installed.
Are you using AdBlock Pro or another ad-blocking or anti-tracking technology? If so, you should try disabling it.

Wby Apple apps keep asking for credit card? No app is working
Are they "Free" apps with In-App Purchases? If so, you need a credit card on file for the In-App Purchases.

why does it keep asking me to install adobe flash player even after i have installed it once? Please help me.
No idea. What did the folks on the Adobe forums say when you posted there, since it's Adobe's software you're having trouble with?
