  • Trying to Install a plug-in and it keeps opening Terminal instead of Installer

    When I go to the file and right click, I go to Get Info>Open With it says Terminal. That's not right and I know that but I don't know what is supposed to be there. Isn't it supposed to be some type of installer? There's a thread for Lion that says go to System/Library/Core Services/installer.app, well I have Mountain Lion and that isn't there, so any suggestions?
    Please help!

    Back up all data.
    Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with networks that require any kind of authentication other than a WPA or WPA2 Personal password.
    When the OS X Utilities screen appears, follow the prompts to reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the boot volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.

    I've purchased a few dozen songs from itunes on my iphone. A few of these songs will not download properly and I keep getting a "unable to download song" message. My account info is correct and full signal. It seems to continually keep trying to download but cannot. Please help!

    i do understand that.  if you purchased the music on the phone.  its still available to you.  if you go in itunes on your computer.  go to purchases.  there should be all the music you have purchased.  there you can download the song if it isn't already and then sync it to your phone which will add the song to the phone.  have you tried to power off phone and then try to download again.   the itunes way is just another option.

  • Can I recover notes I accidentally erased from my iPhone? I have the newest software and updates and I use iCloud.

    Can I recover notes I accidentally erased from my iPhone? I have the newest software and updates and I use iCloud.

    Is your carrier still AT&T? What error message do you get when you try to activate it?
    Have you tried a new SIM? Was the phone jailbroken? Was the computer you used to update it ever used to jailbreak a phone? In general, this problem is caused by one of the following:
    1. Your antivirus is blocking access to gs.apple.com.
    2. Your phone is jailbroken.
    3. Your computer has been used at some time in the past to jaibreak some iOS device (not necessarily the phone with the problem), and its network database was corrupted by the hacking software that was used.
    4. Apple's activation servers are down (very rare, and never for more than an hour or so).
    For 1. try disabling your antivirus.
    For 2. & 3. you need to go somewhere other than an apple forum for help. Although you can try deleting lines containing gs.apple.com from your "hosts" file on your computer.

  • I have just donwloaded Firefox 5 to my Sony Vaio laptop and it keeps opening three tabs, I uninstalled it and reinstalled it and it happened agona, how do I remove the two surplus tabs?

    I have just donwloaded Firefox 5 to my Sony Vaio laptop and it keeps opening three tabs, I uninstalled it and reinstalled it and it happened again, how do I remove the two surplus tabs?

    I finally managed to fix this problem! You have to go into your program files and you will see another bearshare folder, this has two add on components for firefox. Go into the folders, and find the uninstall program tools.
    One of them will uninstall here. There is a program called media mrg or something along those lines in your add ons for firefox. You need to delete this, and it should stop bearshare popping up in the tabs. Then just to make sure, I went back and deleted the bearshare folder. You know you have disabled all the right components when it will finally let you delete the folder.

    iTunes may not be showing the files. Please check in explorer to verify they are actually gone. There are many reported instances of iTunes losing track of files even when they are still there.

  • I keep getting the message that I need to download the images update to open old documents.  The update was downloaded on 11/24/13.  Checking for new updates shows all updates have been made.  What is the issue?

    I keep getting the message that I need to download the new update for ipages when opening old documents.  The latest update that I have download was done 11/24/13.  When I check for updates it shows that there are no new updates available.  I downloaded Maverick a few weeks back on to my iMac.  What is the issue

    You have both your older iWork apps and the newer Maverick apps on your computer.
    The new Maverick apps are in the Applications folder.
    The older iWork apps are in the Applications/iWork folder.
    Of the two, the older iWork apps are more useful so don't throw them out.
    Check out about Pages 5, keeping the older Apps and how to manage updates here:
