Downloads will not install

It seems that when I download certain files or software, I cannot open them in order to install the file. It will download to my desktop and when I go to open it a large text file will open containing pages of odd characters and words. How do I open the actual application up so I can install the neccesary files? Thanks!

What .file extension(s) are we talking about here .bin perhaps ?
.bin will require the freeware Stuffit Expander decompression utility

  • The iTunes 10.1 download will not install

    If the lake weren't frozen, I'd be flinging my wife's new iPod Nano to the bottom of it. Theoretically, I have everything necessary to set my wife up on her Christmas gift, an iPod Nano. OSX 10.6.4 on a four month old iMac.
    The download worked. When I clicked to install, the progress bar went along until it hit the very end. At the one minute to go mark, the installation stops progressing. It shows that the installation is still in progress but nothing further happens for two hours. Is there a glitch in the installation program?

    You need to go here and downlaod iTunes and reinstall it. No need to uninstall first.
    -> http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Version 10.1.54 was replaced by 10.1.56.
    It is a different build number (56 vs. 54) but the same version so software update will not find it.

  • Pages download will not install

    OSX Yosemite - iMac27" - 3,4GHz Intel Core i7 - 16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    Pages download is working normally but at the install there is no advance any more. 
    I dit remove the pages app and reinstall but stil the same problem the installation will not finish.  I waited the whole night but nothing happened.  The progress barr stays at a little point of the end.

    I called apple support and they walked me through it. I think I had installed the trial period one and it was blocking the one I had purchased from downloading. They should help you if you punched it. Good luck

  • Office 365 Download Will Not Install

    I had computer motherboard replaced under warranty.  Had Office 2007.  After restoring OS 8.1 tried to download Office 2007.  Installation would hang and error message was simply stopped but sometimes would get close firewall message.  Opened
    365 account with new website.  Tried to download desktop version from 365.  Same error message.  Have done the Mr. Fixit from microsoft, clean boot, stopped all services, closed virus, malware and firewalls, shut off defender etc etc.  Same
    error.  Tried both 32bit and 64 bit (I7 processor).  It has got to be something missing not colliding.  What in the world did I do to this thing?

    Hi, I have iPhoto'09 v8.1.2 (424). I have downloaded v9.2.1 update and it will not install.

    Do i need 9.0 and if so where do i get it? THANKS  nomadreg

    No, iLIfe is a suite of applications: iMovie, iPhoto and GarageBand (earlier versions of the suite also contained iDVD ad iWeb).

  • I have the Mac OS 10.9.4  I am unable to read PDF's, so thought I would download the latest version of Adobe Reader.  It will not install.  Is it comparable with my Mac OS?

    I have the Mac OS 10.9.4  I am unable to read PDF's, so thought I would download the latest version of Adobe Reader.  It will not install.  Is it comparable with my Mac OS?

    More information would be good.
    What do you mean by "unable to read PDF's". How are you trying to read them and what exactly happens when you try?
    so thought I would download the latest version of Adobe Reader.  It will not install. 
    Again, what exactly is happening?
    And yes, the latest version should be compatible with your OS.

  • Adobe Download Assistant will not install.

    I'm attempting to install the trial version of Design Premium CS5.5, but the Adobe Download Assistant will not install. It appears to be installing after I click on the installer--a window loads that says "Installing"--but then nothing happens. Nothing loads. Nothing shows up in the Applications folder. After trying this many, many times (with different browsers and after many refreshes and computer restarts), I'd sometimes get an error message that I need Adobe Air. When I try to install Adobe Air, I have the same issue: nothing happens. What can I do? I am using a brand new MacBook Pro.

    I had a very very similar issue on my MacBook Pro as well with ADA. Solved it about 30 minutes ago. I found a post from late December that suggested trying the following:
    System Preferences
    Energy Saver
    Uncheck "Automatic Graphic Switching" at the top of the page.
    Install Adobe Air
    Profit.
    Hope it works for you too, I was ready to throw this box out the window.

    My 13 inch Macbook pro w retina will not install/download OS X Mavericks because it says I do not have the requirements in order to install it. I purchased my Mac this past month on 11/20/13 so i do not have a problem with it being an older version. Please help. This is my first computer so i dont have any experience on how to fix this.

    You can't install the App Store version of Mavericks because your model needs a special version. If you ever need to reinstall it, boot into Recovery.

    Eduardo Alejandro Lazo what specific error do you receive when trying to apply the update?
    I would also recommend checking the installation logs for the updates you are attempting to apply for errors.  You can find details on how to locate and interpret the installation log files at Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5-cs5.html.  You are welcome to post any specific errors you discover to this discussion.
