Downloading software

im new to Mac's.  How do I download and unzip a program to install on my mac? 

Open the internet browser of your choice, Safari is in the system, Go to whatever website you want to buy and or download a program from. Click on the link to download it, it will default to the Downloads folder. Once it has finished downloading, it may be a DMG or a ZIP file, double click on it. If it's a ZIP file it will expand into a DMG file, or maybe a .APP file. If a DMG file or the ZIP expands into a DMG file then double click on that and follow the on screen prompts and instructions.
If a ZIP or DMG file and it expands into a .APP file just drag it to your Application folder.
Your done, program installed.

  • ITunes won't open after downloading software update.  Macbook Pro OSX10.6.8  Simple solution?

    iTunes won't open after downloading software update.  Macbook Pro OSX10.6.8  Simple solution?  And by the way, this is apparently a common problem and Apple has completely failed to warn in advance or offer a quick straightforward solution - used to be a good company, but it's becoming just another crappy screw-the-consumer corporation.

    It would help to know versions here.  I'm guessing your update put an older version of something into a place where a newer version of something iTunes put in there existed.  Updating an earlier OSX version to 10.6.8 is still only updating to system software that was issued several years ago.  If you are running some slightly newer version of iTunes issued subsequent to 10.6.8 and you just updated to 10.6.8 you may have put in an older version of something iTunes uses.  Anyway, I'm guessing here until we know exactly what you did.

  • 10.3 OS Upgrade error. An error has occurred while downloading software for your device. Please verify your internet connection or try again later

    HELP ! HELP ! HELP ! "An error has occurred while downloading software for your device. Please verify your internet connection or try again later, if the problem persists." appears while attempting to upgrade or install BlackBerry Device Software. upgrading my Z10 OS to 10.3 on both (link & web). but facing same problem again and again. plz help. internet speed is 1mbps and working fine.

    I suggest you try the very clean and very forceful AutoLoader method:
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-10-OS-Device-Software/Upgrading-OS10-devices-using...
    Beware that it is completely destructive...the device will be "like new"...no data, no apps, no accounts, etc. Be sure you take a full backup first, as well as make full manual documentation of all apps, accounts, configurations, etc. Sometimes a restore reintroduces the very corruption one is trying to eliminate, and manual reconfiguration is necessary.
    You can also use this to fall back to a prior OS if you desire...you can install any OS level for which you can find an AutoLoader. (Hint...search over on the CB site!)
    Good luck and let us know!

  • I need to know the location where iTunes downloads software to, it is filling up my hard drive.

    I need to know the location where iTunes downloads software to, it is filling up my hard drive.
    I am trying to put my iPhone4 into recovery and then will restore it. iTunes starts extracting the software.  But the iPhone reboots and by the time the software has completed extraction, the iPhone can no longer be seen by iTunes. 
    We have a very small hard drive on our laptop.  Each time iTunes does an extraction, it uses up more space on the C: drive. 
    Nothing frees up that used drive space. Not closing iTunes or rebooting the computer. Nothing. 
    How do we release / delete these files?

    See Re: when itunes downloads ipsw where does it go.

    Hi can some please help me i'm tryin to download software 5.0 on my blackberry 9630 i see it as an option in my desktop manager but everytime i click next it just won't start the upgrade!! why??? please someone help thanks

    First locate your carrier and the OS file you wish to use.
    http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/dow​nload_sites.jsp
    Do a backup of your device first, using Desktop Manager > Backup. Close Desktop Manager upon completion.
    1. Download the OS file to the PC then install it to the PC by running (double clicking) the file you downloaded.
    2. Go to c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml."
    3. Plug in BB and double click on "Loader.exe." It's located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file.

  • Prevent Adobe application manager  auto install downloaded software

    I used Adobe application manager to download a trial version of photoshop cs6, but I need to install it at another time. Adobe application manager instead installs photoshop immediately.
    How Can I prevent Adobe application manager to install downloaded software automatically?

    You can only download a trial once, so you need to download it when you can use it.

  • HT201210 Having trouble restoring my ipod touch 4 gen. When i click restore i get an error message saying that " problem downloading software for the "ipod owner's ipod"

    When i try to restore my ipod i recieve an error message saying that "problem downloading softwar  for the ipod owner's ipod. error (-23) Please help i need to restore because my daughter somehow set a passcode lock on it and didnt know it and does not know passcode.

    There was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone (or another iOS device)
    See the steps below for error codes 3000-3999.
    Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
    Update to the latest version of iTunes.
    Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
    Check that your security or firewall software is not interfering with ports 80 or 443, or with the server gs.apple.com.
    Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
    An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
    Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you are using a proxy, try without using one.
    Test restoring while connected to a known-good network.

  • Running 5.5 U2e and VUM will no longer download software packages from patch source?

    We had a vSphere 5.5 cluster configured for us by a 3rd-party through Dell as part of our purchase agreement. We are running vCenter Server 5.5 U2e on Windows 2012 R2 as a physical host. It does run Update Manager. In my most recent check today, Update Manager will scan a host and report patches that are needed. In this case we're at 5.5.0 Build 2456374 on our ESXi hosts. Update Manager detects 5 missing patches. After I put the host in maintenance mode, I remediate, select the patch group, and proceed through the screens. It starts its process and goes from 0% to 16% to 25% then sits there for about 1–3 minutes, then goes to 90%, 91%, and errors out saying:
    "Cannot download software packages from patch source. Check the events and the Update Manager log for download details."
    Multiple strange things:
    This server was updating just fine a few months back when some previous patches were released.
    It can see the internet just fine. No firewall issues.
    Our failover site on the same network, but in a different location in the city is able to update just fine. Same hardware, network, and software versions.
    Any ideas on where to look or what to try? I had gone ahead and update from vCenter Server 5.5 U2b to U2e (along with a VUM reinstall) hoping that would fix it, but it did not. Any help would be greatly appreciated, because we're not VMware experts and thought everything was set up correctly by the vendor. We were given a small amount of knowledge transfer, but nothing that would allow us to troubleshoot this.
    The Update Manager config listed in vCenter Server points to just three sources, that look to be the default from hostupdate.vmware.com and vapp-updates.vmware.com. None of the settings have been changed from the initial install and configuration that were working at one point in the last few months (when I last patched the hosts to 2456374).
    Looking through the vmware-vum-server-log4cpp.log I see these failures:

    Well, apparently this patch / vib was pulled after release, based on issues with "VMware NSX for vSphere 6.x or Cisco Nexus 1000v" as seen in KB2116370: VMware KB: After upgrading to VMware ESXi 5.5 Patch Release ESXi550-201504002, virtual machines using VMware NSX for…
    Ok, that's cool. But here's my question then. Why is Update Manager still reporting that it's an available patch for our ESXi hosts? I'm new to this and am just trying to get an understanding to avoid confusion like this in the future.
    [UPDATE]
    Looks like this was the problem. VMwareCares Twitter account confirmed that Update Manager needed a new repository query to grab the new metadata. After rescanning the ESXi host again, the number of available patches dropped from 5 to 1. I'm now successfully patching the ESXi hosts through Update Manager once again. Crisis avoided.

    I'm unable to download software updates for my iTouch 4.1 in iTunes.  I have iTunes version 10.5, Windows 7.  i've tried numerous times in the past and always get the same error message.  I'm now experiencing problems with some of my apps. and I've attempted 4 times in the past 2 days to upload version 5.0. It goes thru the whole download (761.61 MB), says "processing file", then closes out and I get the following message:
    "There was a problem downloading the software for the iPod "xxxxx's iPod". The network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are current and your network connection is active or try again later. Err = .3529."
