Downloaded Widgets won't open

I have downloaded several widgets, opened them, chose 'keep' and they do nothing. They freeze as if they are loading but that's as far as they get. I've tried things like starry night, and the same thing, it shows in my downloads, I open it (if it didn't open by itself), and nothing comes up. Any thoughts?

I have thought of that, however, my husband has the same os version and widgets that he installed on his computer, won't come up on mine. I guess its possible that its related to the intel chip that is in my mac?

Is there a way to restore photos from Drop box to my desktop iPhoto in a large batch instead of one at a time? I tried and a zip file was downloaded but won't open. Says file format not recognized.

Is there a way to restore photos from Drop box to my desktop iPhoto in a large batch instead of one at a time? I tried and a zip file was downloaded but won't open. Says file format not recognized. I see how to do it one at a time with the "download" button in Dropbox but that's so cumbersome for lots of photos.

Hey Michael,
Are you logged in to your account as administrator with anti-virus software disabled.
Were you able to get Acrobat icon or unable to even run the executable file?
What exactly happens when you try launching Acrobat?
Please let me know.

My new downloaded apps won't open they are in the purchases section of my App Store but won't open?

My new downloaded apps won't open they are in the purchases section of my App Store but won't open?

Try:
Reset the iOS device (no data will be lost). Press and hold the Home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo appears. See if the problem persists after the device reboots (it might take a while).
Download any free app, and then see if any of the other apps, after being re-downloaded, will open.
Good luck!

IBook shows as downloaded but won't open

I downloaded a book from iBooks it shows as downloaded but won't open?

Hello Coastalcharm
Start with the troubleshooting in the article below and simply restart your iPhone or iPad. If that does not work, then try deleting the book and download the book again. You may end up having to delete iBooks and install it again.

Downloaded files won't open, and mouse sometimes disappears

Hey there,
I've just been having some rather minor problems with my iBook, and I thought maybe someone could help me out.
First of all, my iBook won't open a lot of applications that I download. It says that it can't find the application to open the programs with. I looked on a few of these forum threads, and it said to download the Stuffit program. I dowloaded the latest version, but when I went to open it, my computer gave me the same answer as it did for all those other apps- that it couldn't find the application to open it up with. I went back and downloaded the previous version of Stuffit, but that had the same result. How can I get files to open on my computer?
Also, sometimes while I'm in Safari, the mouse arrow completely disappears until I either scroll over a picture or click the back/forward arrows. Anyone have any ideas on why this happens? It doesn't really do anything bad, it's just annoying.
Well, thanks for reading this, and have a good day!

Ok, maybe this will lend some insight to the Safari cursor behavior.
I was on the Slashdots' main page. I had not experienced the issue since yesterday.
I proceded to follow this link, opening it in a new tab:
http://www.crn.com/sections/breakingnews/dailyarchives.jhtml?articleId=188701694
When on that page, the cursor would start rapidly switching from a pointer to a hand. I clicked on the tab for Slashdot. Problem gone! I tabbed back to the CRN page in question and reloaded it. Problem is back. To clarify, I did not have to reload the page for the problem to persist, it was just something I tried.
I emptied the cache and reloaded. No change.
I would like to add that this in no way interferes with productivity when working in Safari, it's just really odd is all.
Any ideas?

Itunes downloaded but won't open on Windows 8

I just purchased a laptop with Windows 8 and Itunes downloaded fine but it won't open. It says "Itunes has stopped working". I have a Sony Vaio and my previous computer was a Sony Vaio so I know it should be working. Any tips or advice on what to try?

If that doesn't solve things then 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.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

ITunes downloaded but won't open

Got new iPod yesterday. Downloaded iTunes successfully (already had QTime) but it won't open. Have tried running virus scanner & AdAware, updated browser and checked all browser and audio settings. Have uninstalled and reinstalled both iTunes and QuickTime SEVEN times, but still can't launch iTunes. All other software functioning normally. iPod unit itself seems to work--but, of course, no music on it yet. Have spent 5.5 hours going through every suggestion on this site, but nothing helps; all settings seem to be correct. Cannot find any contact info for APPLE!!!! Extremely frustrated. Anyone have suggestions?

I spent about 8 hrs on this yesterday (Thanks Apple). I did get it to work though, here is what I did:
I was able to get Itunes to work

I did all the things everyone suggested but no luck.
The way I made it work: I removed Itunes and quicktime as directed in other threads via the control panel. Then I did a search of the root directory for anything with itune in it (itune.), I then deleted those files. I did the same thing for quicktime. After deleting the files I emptied the recycle bin, rebooted and then reinstalled Itunes. I did not install to the default directory (C:\program files\Itunes), I put Itunes on the root (C:\Itunes).I really don't know if it was stupid luck or if it was the correct thing to do but it worked for me? Could be that just putting it on the root C: did the trick?
There were some quick time files that I couldn't delete.
There were also some itune files that I couldn't delete until I went to the directory and deleted the whole directory, the folders had long names with both letters and numbers.
This was for my duaghters new Ipod, I am going to stick with my Zen.

Fox news app downloads but won't open

Continue to have trouble getting some apps to work. The Fox News app downloads ok but when I try to use it it won't open. Have had the same problem with other apps (Popular Science) and just gave up. Any help would be appreciated.

iPad up to date?
Connect your iPad to your computer, launch iTunes.
Select the iPad under Devices.
Select the Summary tab from the menu then click: Check for Updates
Hold down the Fox News app until it jiggles then tap the circle with an x then tap Delete.
Reset your iPad.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Now re download the Fox News app.

LR5 downloaded but won't open

I just completed subscribing to CC. Downloaded several apps including LR5, PhotoshopCC and BridgeCC. Lightroom 5 opened and I updated the catalog from LR4.
I closed LR5, then reopened. Now LR5 asks me for a serial #. I put in my LR4 serial number but that doesn't work. LR5 won't open. LR4 opens ok.

Hi Ralph,
Based on this thread it looks like you got it fixed with a reinstall

Downloaded files won't open

Mail attachments, downloaded files from safari or chrome, or directly from gmail account won't open. I thought I'd resolve the problem by upgrading to Yosemite, but it still persists. The message I get is "file name" is damaged and can't be opened. You should move it to the Trash." It's the same message Gatekeeper will give you if it's programmed to only use apps that have been downloaded from the Apple store, but in my case it's with any downloaded file and any format (pdf, word, ppt, bmp, jpeg, etc.). I've gone through troubleshooting with Apple Support team but they seem to be clueless, too. Meanwhile I am stuck, can't get any work done!!!

Do you have any third party security software installed? That will most definitely be the culprit.
Gate Keeper will warn you when opening anything acquired from the internet that wasn't through the Mac App Store or it's identified developers. You can change this to allow anything, but I would advise against it... because you need to know that you are opening a file that may be suspect.
System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General. Unlock and set it to Anywhere if you want to leave your system wide open. The second setting it the default setting (and best setting).
You should still be able to open a file without changing these settings by holding down the control key as you click on the file then select open. It will prompt you again to confirm that you want to open the file. From then on, that file will no longer be blocked.
Again, if you installed any third party software that is designed to perform a similar function, it will likely override anything OS X is doing. Which is why you don't want to use said software in the first place.

HT201272 New downloaded app won't open

I downloaded the good news bible alp and it won't open. It is loaded but does not open.
Thanks
MICHELLE

Have you tried closing that app via the multitasking bar and seeing if it works when you re-open it ? Double-click the home button to open the taskbar, and then swipe or drag that app's screen from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
If that doesn't fix it then you could try a soft-reset and see if it works when your phone has rebooted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.
A third option is to delete the app from your phone and redownload it via the Purchased tab in the App Store app.
If it still doesn't work then try contacting the developer.

All my downloaded apps won't open!

Hi,
I have a brand new iPhone 4S and since this morning, all the apps that I have been using for a week won't open. When touching the icon, screen fades to black for about a second and just comes back to the menu. Any ideas?

Download a free app from the App Store. Once it downloads, your other apps should work properly again.
Best of luck.

ITunes downloads but won't open

Ever since I upgraded to iTunes 7 in September, I've been having problems...it worked great for the first week and now refuses to open. I've tried completely removing iTunes, Quicktime, and iPod Updater before reinstalling, but it still won't work after several tries. I've tried opening it from Windows Task Manager, from Program Files, the Start Menu, and by clicking on the icon. The program and my music is there, it just won't open--I don't even get an error message. It just doesn't do anything. Help!
Dell Dimension DIM2400 Windows XP Pro Intel Pentium 4 Processor

I only have 256MB of RAM, though I'm planning on upgrading. Do you think that might be a problem?
it's not the first thing i think about in these circumstances. if you're planning on upgrading anyway, that's fine. but i probably wouldn't rush your plans as part of a troubleshooting measure for the itunes/quicktime thing.
backtracking to something else you said earlier:
itunes.exe does appear in the Task Manager processes once I click on it, but not under applications.
is it a long persistence in there, or is it more of a quick 1-2 second appearance? (that can help with identifying possible culprits.)
if you try launching your QT after a reboot, does the QuickTimePlayer.exe process appear (in Task Manager in the Processes tab) immediately, or do you have to wait for 5 minutes before that one shows up?
