Downloading Iso Files (Programmes) and Using them

Hello,
I need some help please,
I have downloaded some Iso files which are intended to be programmes, I can burn them to a CD with no problem using disc utility.
However, they do not play as intended, When clicking on the cd icon mounted on the desktop, it just displays the contents of the CD and does not launch the programme.
What should I do?
Kind regards

1. Iso Image Files

No. An .iso is a raw disc image, not a programme. It may, however, contain programmes, just like the disc it images.
Ne0the1 wrote:
I thought an ISO was just a disc image
Correct.
Ne0the1 wrote:
once the contents were burnt to a disc they would play as intended
Correct, as long as the file system is compatible. Moreover, it's not necessary to burn an .iso file to CD. It can be mounted under Mac OS X as virtual disc, using DiskImageMounter (which is the default), again, as long as the file system is recognised by the operating system.

ISO files are for Windows and will not run on any Mac running just OS X.
Incorrect; .iso disc images can be mounted under Mac OS X without any additional software. The application DiskImageMounter is part of the Mac OS X core services. Moreover, .iso images can be created and manipulated with hdiutil, Mac OS X's disk image utility. From its manpage:
Raw disk images from other operating systems (e.g. .iso files) will be recognized as disk images and can be attached and mounted if OS X recognizes the filesystems.

All Mac programs are compressed as DMG files.
Incorrect. Mac OS X programmes may be distributed in a variety of formats. A .dmg (Mac disk image, which may or may not be compressed) is one of them. They can also be distributed in various archive formats, such as zip, gz, tar, sit (obsolescent), and, of course, pkg (based on xar), which is used mostly by Apple.
Shootist007 wrote:
to my knowledge OS X can not create ISO files
Incorrect. See above.

Mac software is seldom or never distributed as .iso files.
Correct.
2. AutoRun

You're thinking in terms of Windows and AutoRun. This does not exist under Mac OS X, because it's a significant security risk (in fact, it's being restricted under recent versions of Windows). There are some automatic actions (configurable in System Preferences > CDs & DVDs) which can be performed by the system, but no equivalent of AutoRun.
If you want to run software on the CD or disc image, you need to interact with it (eg, double-click) yourself. If the CD was intended to run software automatically, then it must have been designed for Windows, not Mac OS X. If you require more information, you need to give us details about the contents of the respective CD.

  • For some reason today my Firefox stopped saving picture downloads as file names and identifies them all as URL. I don't know why it did this. It happened once before. How can I get it reset so I can save pictures as files instead of links?

    I rebooted twice and it continued to do this. Just before this happened, I had walked away from the computer for a couple of hours. When I came back, every time I tried to open Firefox it told me that it was already open but would not open. It opened after I rebooted but still would not save to folders as a file name, only as a URL link.

    Hey Gina,
    Change all your passwords, this will stop the remote access if there are any. Also check to make sure there are no third party apps managing your passwords. Also please contact the tech support for the phone for more technical help on that issue :-)
    I also understand that the customization is not staying. [[Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars]]
    Did this happen when you synced last? Also are there more than one device with different Customized ui settings?
    Change the settings back from open "pages from last time" to the other homepage: [[How to set the home page]] or if this happened after you attached another device to the sync account, uncheck Preferences from the sync settings.

  • There are no icons of the apps i downloaded. I mean, I used them for a while, then my iPod died, I charged it a little, then turned it on, and saw blanks instead of apps. They work pretty fine, but there are no icons, just white rectangles. What can I do?

    - First try resetting the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - If still problem restore the iPOd via iTunes on your computer.  First from backup and if problem persists restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

    No.

  • How to Declare Arrays in bpel and use them as acollection

    Hi,
    I Am new to Bpel, I had created an empty Bpel Process and configured file adapter to a directory, In my text file i have 3 records with four columns, each column seperated by ',' and each record seperated by "EOL(end of line)", Below is the xsd file generated by the native format xsd builder, taken a recieve activity to recieve the contents of file from file adapter.
    So all the data which is in the file will be there in recieve activity.
    FileContents
    55555,rgfdgsd,gfdgfdg,23
    66666,retretret,trtertg,21
    77777,rtrttreter,trtter,23
    My Question is
    I want to compare whether value of C1 = '55555' and if the value is equal to 55555 then that record with c1=55555 has to be inserted into database by using Arrays
    How to compare the value of c1 through bpel functions.
    with java i have to use the logic similar to this by using Xpath
    getElement by tagname(c1);- it will give all the elements with tagname c1, three records are there with tagname c1 (c1=55555,c1=66666,c1=77777), we have to iterate through the elemnts and check whether the value iof c1='55555' and get the whole parent block which contains values of c1,c2,c3,c4 and insert that to database
    What variables we have to use to get the Similar logic in bpel

    I want to do it by using Arrays,
    Please post the step by step procedure like
    How to declare an Array?
    How to iterate the results in recieve acticity of file adapter and put them to array?
    How to compare the values in array with our desired value?
    Please Look into this and suggest me the solution.
    Regards

    I think it is a good option to use transformations. Do you have any critical reason why you want to do this using array?
    Little explanation below for your questions.
    As per my understanding from variable is the recieve activity variable and to variable is the Array variable is it right?
    Yes. Here I was try to build my array from the different source system data. This will append data to the array variable.
    How can we declare an array variable in bpel(to variable) with name as Variable_Array, part as payload and query as ArrayList?
    *Any element that can hold another element can be a array.
    For example if element A is declared as sequence of element B type, then A acts as a array for B*
    Could you please explain this also, what is from variable? and what is to variable?
    +<assign name="Assign_XPath_For_Array">+
    +<copy><from expression="concat('/ns1:ArrayList/ns2:ArrayElem') "/><to variable="Variable_Xpath"/></copy>+
    +</assign>+
    what is the type of to variable "Variable_Xpath"(String or int etc)?
    This creates a dynamic Xpath and store in some variable here. Here the variable is called Variable_Xpath which is a string
    similarly what is the type of to variable?
    +<assign name="Assign_Read_Array">+
    +<copy>+
    +<from expression="bpws:getVariableData('Variable_Array','payload',bpws:getVariableData('Variable_Xpath'))"/>+
    +<to variable="Variable_Read_Array_Element" query="/ns1: ABC"/>+
    +</copy>+
    +</assign>+
    To variable type is the variable that I read from the Array.
    *For example if A is the array holding B, then the to variable is B and from is doing A[counter]*

  • Download iOS 8 once and use it to upgrade all iPads in the network

    Is it possible to download iOS8 only once and use it to upgrade all iPads in the same LAN? 
    I tried the following methods and they are just not working:
    1. Connect an iPads Mini with Retina Display to the iTunes on Mac.  I chose Download Only. Once downloaded the iPad Software Upgrade, I upgraded the connected iPad to iOS8.  Then I connect another iPad (used to be on another Mac) to the same iTunes.  I had to download iOS 8 again.  It's not using the same downloaded iOS 8 file.
    2. I turned on the Caching Service (not Software Upgrade Service, i.e. for Mac Software) on the Mac Mini Server from the Server app.  I then repeat step 1 above and got the same result.  It seems that the Caching Service does not cache the iOS 8  Software Upgrade like what it does for other apps.  (I think I may need to use some Apple Scripts but I have no such experience.)

    Ivan H wrote:
    It's for the family.  Every member has 2-3 iOS devices to upgrade.
    I agree with Csound on that, a family, even with a lot of devices will have to individually update.  There are enough nuances in the iOS for different devices that you need to download for each.  If you had 200 iPad 2's then there might be an enterprise way...but not a family with a mix of devices.

  • External definition and used them as Data Type Templates

    hi all
    how to Develop external definition and used them as Data Type Templates .
    Thank u
    Swari

    HI
    External Definitions: If a definition of the message structure exists in wsdl, xsd, dtd formats, we can use it in the integration repository by importing it as an external definition.
    External Definations:
    An external definition enables you to import a local WSDL, XSD, or DTD file to the Integration Repository and specify which parts of the schema to extract as the description for a message. You can use these extracted message schema as:
    Output or input messages in message interfaces
    Source or target structures for message mappings
    There is a series of standard schema for describing the message structure at runtime. WSDL (Web Service Description Language), XSD (XML Schema Definition Language), or DTDs (Document Type Definitions) are often used to describe message schema. If a description of the message structure already exists in one of the above formats, you can use it in the Integration Repository by importing it as an external definition rather than re-entering it manually using the data type editor.

  • ITunes downloads are painfully slow, and using the wrong servers

    For the past few months, iTunes downloads (from a PC) have been unbearably slow, with single 60-minute TV shows taking 3-6 hours to download.  Worse, Apple has decided that I live in the middle east, rather than Vermont.  According to Task Manager, itunes is connecting to 204.2.196.136 to download files, and that server is located in Iran.
    Before anyone asks, I am using my ISP's DNS provider, located in Vermont.  So this has nothing to do with that useless Google DNS service.  How do I forge iTunes to use the right providers in the United States?
    For what it's worth, no other programs have this problem. Speedtest reports a healthy 10-12 Mb/s, Steam downloads huge files quickly, and Apple TV streaming is fine.  As far as I can tell, only iTunes store downloads are affected (from any source, including my iPad 2.)

    In my case, I think it's a combination of my isp being incredibly slow (Optus in Melbourne) and iTunes apparently throttling the download speed.  A couple of days ago, my download speed measured on speedtest.net was 0.2 Mbps!!  After phoning Optus to complain, they reset the line and the speed bounced up to about 6 Mbps.  So in that case it was definitely my isp.  But now, even with the approx 6 Mbps download speed, my iTunes downloads are taking about 3 hours just to download one 40-something minute episode.  When I do a traceroute (start, cmd, tracert itunes.apple.com, enter) the iTunes server is located in Boston, US and I'm in Ballarat, Victoria, Oz.

  • How to retrieve comments from one OfficeTask activity and use them in another OfficeTask activity for Multi level Approval sequential Workflow

    I'm designing a sequential site workflow using Visual Studio 2010 for Project Server 2010. In my case, I have following 6 stages in the workflow:
    1. InitialProposal Stage
    2. Approval Stage1 -- Needs approval from Approver Project Security Group Members1
    3. Rejection Stage
    4. Approval Stage2 -- Needs approval from Approver Project Security Group Members 2
    5. Execution Stage
    6. Completed Stage
    Requirement is workflow should move to Approval stage2 from Approval stage1  if approved by all members of Approver Project Security Group1and it should move to Rejection Stage even if a single member rejects it.
    Workflow should move from Approval Stage2 to Execution Stage if approved by all members of Approver Project Security Group2 and it should move back to Approval Stage1 on rejection by a single member of the group.
    I'm using inbuilt PSWApproval content type and OfficeTask activity for creating approval task for the group members at both stages.
    On task rejected in Approval stage2, task will be assigned again to Approval Stage1 and I want to show comments given by members of Approver Project Security Group2 to the members of Approver Project Security Group1 with this assigned task
    but I'm not able to retrieve comments from officeTask activity.
    My question is where exactly these comments are saved? how can we retrieve them and use them in another officetask activity? If this is not possible then what is the possible solution for meeting above mentioned business requirement?

    Hi Paul,
    Thanks for your suggestion.
    By comments field I'm assuming OfficeTask.Comments field. Problem is, this field is always null. I tried accessing this field in CheckExitCondition activity as well as in OnTaskCompleted but in both the cases, it was null only(I wrote comments while approving
    the task).
    I used a code activity within OnTaskCompleted activity and following code for accessing Comments and Description fields:
    public string officeComments;
            public string officeDescription;
            private void TaskCOmplete(object sender, EventArgs e)
                CodeActivity Sender = (CodeActivity)sender;
                Microsoft.Office.Workflow.Actions.OfficeTask ofctask1 = ((CompositeActivity)Sender.Parent).Parent as Microsoft.Office.Workflow.Actions.OfficeTask;
                officeComments = ofctask1.Comments;
                officeDescription = ofctask1.Description;          
    Please tell me if I'm doing anything wrong here, I'm very new to Workflows. Also, do I need to set any specific property of officeTask for retriving comments?
    Thank you

  • Can I force the bootcamp wizard to skip looking for the bootcamp drivers?  I have already downloaded the latest drivers and loaded them on a FAT usb drive.  All I want is for bootcamp to create the partition and allow me to install windows 8 pro

    Hi Everyone,
    Can I force the bootcamp wizard to skip looking for the bootcamp drivers?  I have already downloaded the latest drivers and loaded them on a FAT usb drive.  All I want is for bootcamp to create the partition and allow me to install windows 8 pro.
    The bootcamp drivers have been downloaded from apple's website.  Filename:  BootCamp5.0.5033
    I have a iMac 27" late 2013 model.
    NOTE:  I have downloaded the drivers manually from apples support site as the bootcamp wizard fails third of the way through the download.
    Appreciate any assistance.
    Regards,
    asdutoit

    There is a missing point in this thread, and it is that the Boot Camp drivers for the Late 2013 iMac can only be downloaded from Boot Camp Assistant. The Boot Camp drivers available in the Apple site are not compatible with that iMac.
    Delete the Boot Camp drivers from the USB drive, open Boot Camp Assistant and try to download the Boot Camp drivers again. If you get a message telling you that they could not be downloaded, I would try reinstalling OS X through OS X Recovery, by holding down Command and R keys while your Mac is starting up

    Thank you for clarifying. Your question is in your browser, not in iTunes. Each download link is different, and it has nothing to do with the File menu. You can save media files by secondary-clicking on the link to the media file and selecting Save File to "[your downloads folder".
