Downloading chrome - how do downloads work on a Mac? I have a Google Hangout in 10 minutes.

I am trying to prepare for a Google Hangout and downloaded Chrome. It downloaded, but now I don't know what to do. I just got my Mac and have not had time to figure this out on my own.
Do I just go to downloads? I tried that the other day with OpenScad and it didn't work.
Can anyone help with the Chrome download? Thanks!

Yes, it'll be in Downloads. There should be a .dmg file which you double-click on to open the image; you should then see the image on your desktop, double-click that to see the installer or the Chrome app itself. If it's the app, just drag it to your Applications folder.
Hangouts should actually work in any browser, as far as I know.

How do I work out what pages templates have in them ?

I think i do this !
how do I work out what pages templates have in them ?

Hi c,
"Instinctive" (and "Intuitive", the more common term) seem to be often used where "what you're used to" would be a more accurate choice. Nothing about Page Layout is particularly instinctive if you've never done it before.
Regarding 'greying out' some of the tools: Tools and menu items go grey when they aren't available. For example, you can't move an object to the front if you don't have an object selected (or if the selected object is the only thing in the document), or if the selected object is already further forward than anything else in the document. Anytime it is possible to use the tool/menu item in the current context, the tool/item will be active, and shown in dark type.
You mention you are headed toward a "business plan/power point thing." The first (business plan) makes me think in terms of print, and something to be produced from a word processing template rather than page layout one. The second part say 'this will be projected on a screen' and says 'Keynote would be a better application for this task than Pages.'
Keynote is a presentation tool, designed to produce documents that will be presented on a screen (ie. designed for the same type of documents as Powerpoint was built to produce).
Pages has two basic document types, both aimed at producing documents that will be printed:
Word processing—used for things like letters and reports. In general, documents that are mostly text, but that may have some illustrations, charts, or other graphics objects inserted into them.
Page layout—used where there's a mix of graphics and text, with the text usually coming in smaller chunks.
The biggest difference between them is that a 'blank' page layout document is really 'blank'. It can be thought of as a page sized blank canvas onto which you can place containers for text (text boxes), shapes, images, charts, or containers (placeholders) for images or other objects.
A blank word processing document can also accept the objects and containers listed above, but also includes a text layer (where text can be entered directly, without the need to place it into a text box), and a background layer (where objects can be placed behind the text layer).
If the above helps you choose the type of document you want to have as the end product, we can then take a look at one of the templates for that type and look at deconstructing it.

Barry

Help. I have a Google Hangout in 40mins and my sound seems to have vanished. I went to Sys Prefs and it came up with Digital Out....and the Internal Speakers option is no longer there. How do I reboot, or fix this please?

help. I have a Google Hangout in 40mins and my sound seems to have vanished. I went to Sys Prefs and it came up with Digital Out....and the Internal Speakers option is no longer there. How do I reboot, or fix this please?

There are many possible causes for this issue. Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Some may not apply to your model. Back up all data before making any changes.
1. Start with the steps recommended in this support article. Don't skip any of the steps. It's the starting point for further efforts to solve the problem.
2. Make sure you have a fully up-to-date installation of OS X.
3. If you've installed an application called "Memory Clean" or any other third-party software that is supposed to "clean" or "purge" memory automatically, remove it according to the developer's instructions and restart. You should do that even if the software is not causing the problem, because it's useless.
4. Other third-party software that has been reported to interfere with sound output includes "Boom" and "Samsung Kies." If applicable, uninstall according to the developer's instructions (not by dragging something to the Trash.)
5. If an AirPlay device is selected for sound output from iTunes (or from other applications via third-party software such as "Airfoil"), deselect it.
6. Launch the application "Audio MIDI Setup" by entering the first few letters of its name in a Spotlight search and selecting it in the results (it should be at the top.) Select Built-in Output from the list on the left. If the Mute boxes are checked, uncheck them.
7. If a red light is visible in the audio-out port when sound should be playing, the internal switch is stuck in the position for digital output. You may be able to free it by inserting and removing a mini-stereo jack of the proper size. If not, the machine needs to be serviced. Inserting any kind of tool in the port may cause damage that won't be covered by the warranty.
If there's no red light, the switch may still be stuck in the headphone position. Try to free it the same way.
8. Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard and mouse, if applicable. If more than one display is connected, disconnect all extra ones. Restart and test.
9. If you have a MacBook Air, turn off Bluetooth and restart.
10. Start up in safe mode. Don't log in; just restart as usual when the login screen appears. When you do, make sure the words "Safe Boot" do not appear in the login screen. If they do, the system is still in safe mode and sound won't work.
11. Reset the NVRAM.
12. Reset the SMC.
13. Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Preferences/Audio
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Recreate your settings in the Sound preference pane.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
14. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data.
15. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.

Read the documentation at the links. They won't hurt your data.
Basically smc reset is shutdown, pull your plug for 15 seconds, plug it back in, wait 5 seconds, and reboot. Harmless to you. Resets the smc.
Pram reset is similar but you need to push commnd-option-P-R after the boot chime. Read what does.

How to download Skype

I note this is linked to another thread!
Incidentally, you will not need Skype if you want to contact other persons who have an iPad which has iOS 5 or later, unless FaceTime (as with Skype) is banned in that country! Just use FaceTime. Also, FaceTime only works over wi-fi, not 3G.

I had no idea that I needed to use a CD to download my Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 onto my MAC and have already registered the product; how can I now download it? I have tried loping on the web and no luck! Please help me!

I had no idea that I needed to use a CD to download my Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 onto my MAC desktop and have already registered the product; how can I now download it? I have tried looking on the web and no luck. Please help me!

You don't need a CD to download anything; just download & install the trial from http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=photoshop_elements, then activate it with your serial number.

How do I access the End User Licensing Agreement? I clicked on it and it gives me a message that I need to launch Adobe Reader, accept and close and reopen. Trouble is I can't get to an icon for file to launch. I am working on a Mac and have installed Mac

I am using a Mac and have installed Adobe Reader for Mac, latest version. I cannot access the End User Licensing Agreement. I clicked on it and it gives me a message that I must launch Adobe, check that I agree, close and reopen. The problem is I can't find any way to launch Adobe because it appears nowhere on my launch pad, nor in my document files or on the control panel. Because of this, I cannot print bank statements nor can I get into my insurance companies billing department to make a payment. HELP!

How about in your Applications folder?

Folx.app download manager! Does it work on your MAC?

Saves as UNIEX which will not open. What I have saved now are FLV files. Can't figure out how to convert these UNIX into usable files. Trying to download from UTUBE. No prior or current problem downloading with RealPlayer then converting to VLC.app to view. Any thoughts, comments, suggestions, solutions would be very welcome.
Thanks, Kevin

Downloaded new version, can't work with my os. now have nothing. want old system back

downloaded new firefox per directions. would not work because of my os. now it is the only version I have on computer. Want my old version of FF back so I can use.

Reinstall Safari 5.1.10 for OS X 10.6.8: http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1569. Might do the trick.
But, frankly, I don't think that simply reinstalling the old Safari will work because of all the peripheral, under the hood changes that happen when you upgrade from one version of Safari to another. Reinstalling 5.1.10 may be insufficient to turn back the clock. (This is the moment where a Time Machine or another form of full backup would save your bacon.)
While you're getting a copy of Safari 5.1.10, get a copy of Firefox (https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/desktop/), too, so that you have an alternate browser to use as you're sorting matters.

Download Helper - How to download & save .wmv files WITHOUT the video being downloaded playing on screen?

Windows 7 Pro
Latest Version of Firefox
Latest Version of Download Helper
Windows Media Player and VLC are installed
When I download a video file (typically .wmv) the video begins playing on the monitor screen prior to my being able to use Download Helper to download the video and save to the hard drive. This typically results in the video stopping and playing and stopping throughout the download process because of the download speed available. There is never any issue with the final download on the hard drive.
Today I installed latest version of Firefox and Download Helper on another computer.
Windows 7
Latest Version of Firefox
Latest Version of Download Helper
Windows Media Player (only) is installed
Downloaded the same .wmv file downloaded above and the video did NOT begin playing on the monitor screen. Download Helper allowed me to download the file to the hard drive WITHOUT constantly listening to the video start/stop/start/stop etc.
What option (in which program) would allow the playing of the video to be toggled on or off while downloading the .wmv file?
Thank you.

Once the download has started, you can go to another web page. The
download should be a separate function.

TS1496 How does this work for a Mac Pro? Just did an update and my iPod video click is no longer recognized by iTunes or in finder but shows do not disconnect. What do I do?

I downloaded the latest update of iTunes 11.4 today - Columbus Day. Went on to purchase songs. Then attached classic iPod to sync. upon attached usb to iPod, the "Do Not Disconnect" message appeared. Waited a long time and iTunes would not recognize my iPod. (10 minutes minimum. Gave up counting) Shut down iTunes and restarted. Still no recognition. Restarted computer - Wouldn't start. Unplugged USB and then it started. The only way to get computer to start up again was to unplug - now I'm worried that I've just screwed up my iPod. Upon starting back up - plugged iPod back in - sell no recognition. Am I up a creek with no paddle now? My iPod- touch is recognized and I was able to update it successfully. With that being said, it took a heck of a lot longer than it normally does post update. Was this the update that no longer likes classic iPods?
I have a brain injury and the classic is helpful at night when I can't fall asleep and I can play soothing stuff to help calm my brain down. The touch is way to bright and can cause lots of bad reactions due to light sensitivity - way too much blue light to trigger issues. The click wheel doesn't take so many moves to get to what I need.
Thank you to anyone that can help save my classic. medical bills are high and I can't afford to buy a new one. Two hours later, my classic still says do not disconnect and my computer does not recognize.
Thank you to any one for the ability to provide insight and troubleshooting.
pooped out.

1. Try Resetting the iPod. Hold Select and Menu for 6-10 seconds - until you see the Apple Symbol.
2. Use iPod Updater to restore your iPod to factory settings.
See if those two steps clear up your problem.

I failed to register on photoshop in time. How can I work with the photos I have there?

I already have photos on my computer in Photoshop but I failed to register within the time limit, so now I cannot do anythiing with my photos. How can I get to use my photos that I already have on photoshop? I am just now signing up for an account on Photoshop.

Bryant,
Your photos aren't stored in Photoshop. They are stored on the hard drive, they only open in Photoshop.
Check your hard disk for the photos you're searching for.
