Google Chrome won't download

Just got a new iMac,OS 10.8.2,want to try using the Chrome browser. Clicked the download button on the Google home page,clicked "download" on the next page but download never started.
I had this problem earlier with Adobe Reader,had to reset my prefs in system prefs>security and privacy>general to allow downloads from all sites,which is what it is now,but still cannot download Chrome?
Is there another preference I have to change?
TIA
Caroline

Thanks for the quick response.
I did get the page with the license terms and accepted it.
Then I got a black page that should have started a download,but never did.
The Safari icon never bounced in the dock,and Chrome never appeared in the Safari downloads folder.
I finally just used FireFox to download Chrome with no problems.
I am thinking that Firefox or Chrome will end up being my default browser on this new iMac--Safari is looking very unreliable.

Google Chrome crashes when downloading a file

recently my google chrome crashes every time I try to download a file with it, I have attached the console output after looking at it several times and not being able to figure out the issue exactly. I appreciate your assistance:

Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (triple-click, copy, and paste):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

I cannot download a new version of Mozilla (but also not from Explorer or Google Chrome). I downloaded the software several times already, but still I cannot update any program. Can you help me out please?

I am using an older version of Mozilla (i cannot see which version), but somehow this version is so old that I cannot use Hotmail or Internetbanking properly anymore. Therefor I wanted to update my Mozilla-program, but unfortunately this isn't possible. I downloaded your new version Firefox Setup 7.0.1.exe and I see this in the file 'downloads'.
If I want to click it, it says '“Firefox Setup 7.0.1(4).exe” is een uitvoerbaar bestand. Uitvoerbare bestanden kunnen virussen of andere code bevatten die uw computer kan beschadigen. Wees voorzichtig met het openen van dit bestand. Weet u zeker dat u “Firefox Setup 7.0.1(4).exe” wilt starten?'
Then I click 'Oke'....to tell the system I want to start the program. Then I get another pop-up: 'securitywarning......'
Then I click on ' continue' and I have to choose a program to open this program. I can choose from iexplore.exe or firefox.exe.
If I choose for firefox.exe.....nothing happens.
Quit strange. I am quit well with computers, but this is really strange to me.
Hopefully you can help me?
Best regrads,
Erwin Wooning

I finally figured out what was wrong. Since I had installed Google Chrome recently it already had the Adobe Flash Player imbedded in it.
When I uninstalled the flash player in Control Panel option the problem went away.
Thank you for the 95 views. RetiredComTech

Google Chrome won't open properly in Lion

I have just upgraded to Lion and I am having a number of difficulties, my BTYahooo home page won't display properly in Google Chrome browser, even though it will in Safari. I also used to be able to get Dock Art working with itunes but it has now stopped working, apparently I have to down grade to 32 bit, however I do that? can this be right, I have to downgrade the whole of itunes to get it to use this feature?

Not sure what you are seeing, but Yahoo Home page looks like this here in Chrome:
Pretty darn interesting, that shark encounter.
On any addons to iTunes or other Apple apps, you will have to wait until the 3rd party supplier updates the app to work correctly. Should not be too long, as most developers want to eat at the end of the month.
Cheers!

Google chrome won't launch on Mavericks

Hey all,
New to Mac's and new to the forums.
All of my software is fully up to date. I recently downloaded and installed Google Chrome from the internet. My problem is that when I try to launch it I get this error:
My user account information looks like this:
It looks like my home directory is the same as what the Google Chrome directory is. Any ideas why Google chrome can't read or write to it?
Thanks!

Welcome to the discussions and to Mac-land.
You might consider not using Chrome, as most Google software for Macs (including Google Drive) has problems when trying to play with Mavericks. Spend a little time on this discussion and that will become evident.
As a general rule I try to stay away from third party software when it just duplicates (usually badly) software that comes with, and is designed to be used with, Mavericks.
But if you want to try to fix what is wrong with your Chrome installation, a good place to start would be to use Disk Utility (it's in Applications > Utilities) to repair your permissions.
Do you have any third-party "utilites" installed, i.e., "cleaners", "optimizers", "accellerators", or anything that smells like that, for example, CleanMyMac or MacKeeper? This may be the problem.

YouTube videos won't play on Google Chrome anymore!

I noticed that today Google Chrome won't play YouTube videos anymore, even in HTML5. If I try to watch a YouTube video, the buffer bar appears for a split second, but then it vanishes and the loading takes forever! I'm using Google Chrome 33 on Windows 8. Is there some way to fix this? Here's a video I was trying to watch.
Never mind. It seems that embedded YouTube videos work fine here, but not on the YouTube site!

Hi!
I am having a similiar issue since the last update. But contradictory to what you said, i am able to see only videos on Youtube site and not the embedded ones.
Hope it gets fixed soon, for this is very annoying

How to Install Adobe Flash player without Google Chrome?

I am using IE9 with Bing as my search engine on a 64bit Windows Vista System. When I tried to watch a video while online I received the error msg that I needed to download Adobe Flash Player. When I tried to download the Flash Player I saw that Google Chrome was also being downloaded. I have tried Chrome twice in the past, and really do not like it. How do I download Just Adobe Flash Player?

Uncheck Google Chrome from the download page, or download the full installer.

App-V 5.0 Recipe: Google Chrome Enterprise v37

Sorry for the format here, but I wanted to get this out ASAP to help the requester.
Create a cmd file using the code below:
START /WAIT C:\Temp\GoogleChromeStandaloneEnterprise.MSI ALLUSERS=TRUE /QB-
RD /Q /S "%ProgramFiles%\Google\Chrome\Application\37.0.2062.120\Installer"
ROBOCOPY "%ProgramFiles%\Google\Chrome\Application\37.0.2062.120" "%ProgramFiles%\Google\Chrome\Application" /mov /e
COPY C:\Temp\master_preferences "%ProgramFiles%\Google\Chrome\Application\master_preferences
COPY "C:\Temp\First Run" "%ProgramFiles%\Google\Chrome\Application\First Run"
REG ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Update /v AutoUpdateCheckPeriodMinutes /d 0 /t REG_SZ /f
REG ADD "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager" /v PendingFileRenameOperations /d "" /t REG_MULTI_SZ /f
This will be used now and going forward whenever you need to sequence a new version of Chrome. You will just need to change the version number to match that of the version of Google Chrome Enterprise you download.
Note: This script assumes that you have a master_preferences and
First Run file you are using, which you will copy into the
C:\Temp directory on your sequencer.
Also, normally I install into a dummy PVAD, but for Chrome I install into the PVAD:
Primary Virtual Application Directory: C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome
Do not run the application during sequencing, you want it to stream fault. I also checked all three Advanced options (on the Advanced tab).

Chrome 37 has issues with app-v 4.6 SP3. You can actually get it to work for the most part by adding the following switch to the shortcut when sequencing:
--disable-direct-write
This will get rid of the whole Ah Snap issue for every web page. There is another issue for App-V 4.6 though, printing from within Chrome will not work. This actually isn't an App-V issue though, it is a Chrome sandbox issue that basically causes any
computer that has the %TMP% not on the same drive that Chrome is run from to be unable to print. Since any version of App-V below 5 requires you to run the apps from the virtual mount i.e. the Q drive, obviously Chrome will be launched from a different
drive than %TMP% is on, thus causing the issue of being unable to print. That is, without using the --no-sandbox switch, but that really isn't an acceptable solution.

I have windows 7 and use google chrome and I can't download iTunes. It just says it cannot be verified and won't let it run.

I am unable to download iTunes to my computer. It uses a genuine edition of Windows 7 and I use Google Chrome but once it has downloaded and I click to run it comes up with 'package cannot be verified'. I also tried to download through Internet Explorer but I got the same result. Thank you for any help.

Hello elainem1066,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I understand you're getting an error with multiple web browsers after downloading iTunes. I'd like you to please follow the steps in the article linked to below in order to get iTunes installed on your computer.

Some pdf & doc won't download... tried fixes under 'FF keeps opening many tabs or windows' but none worked... these files open in Safari & Google Chrome.

Some pdf & doc files won't download. The "You Have Chosen to Open" pop-up appears but when I hit 'Save File", it goes away and the file is not saved. The corrupted files show up in mac download file as .part but don't show up in ff download file. Tried suggestions in "Firefox keeps opening many tabs or windows" on this website but none worked.

This is most likely Firefox's new "built in" PDF Viewer giving you the trouble.
First, in Firefox, type "about:config" (minus the quotes) in the address bar. This will open the Firefox configuration file. You'll see a warning. Click that you'll be careful, and open the configurer.
At the top there is a search bar. Type "js" (again, minus the quotes).
In the list of results you'll see pdfjsdisabled with a value of "false". Right click it and select Toggle to make it read "true".
Click Firefox>Preferences and under the Applications tab, scroll down to Adobe Acrobat Document. Click the drop down on the right side and choose "Use Adobe Reader (default)".
That should take care of it for you.

Why won't FLASH install on my 64 bit H.P.& y is it linked w /google chrome?!!! TRASH!

How come i cant get this flash to STAY in my system>? i have a 64 bit system and it always says i "need plug in", plus it is linked to a google entire suiete of bull CRAP,when all i want to do is have my flash working properly.i unchecked the google down load since i already have it! AND..I HATE IT b.t.w.!!!! Still for some reason it will not take hence 1/4 of my online experiences suck because most places use this MESSED up FLASH program to run!! I never had this prob before! Im pissed and tired of messing w it! It is TRash THAT THEY USE THE "FLASH" UP DATER " TO link it w some trash google chrome! Very unprofessional! Since i have used your prod since win 95, and NEVER had these issues! I have LEARNED THAT I CAN NO LONGER COUNT ON ADOBE (*) TO MANAGE./RUN on my computer!!! As a result, i cant do much of any thing! even if i d.l. it every day--it simply will not "TURN ON!"---LIMITING THE VALUE/RESOURCES, MY COMPUTER CAN DO!! THIS IS A NEW H.P...I HAVE CHROME ALREADY..I HAVE EVEN UN INSTALLED CHROME AND RELOADED IT USING THE "FLASH " UP-DATER, EVEN THAT (!!!) WON'T WORK!!!!

I used to use Adobe for security and resources, but now i hate to see the name, and IT IS THE REASON THAT MY MACHINE WILL NOT WORK PROPERLY!!!SKYPE & MANY OTHER PLACE/PROGRAMS NEED IT TO WORK!!!!! HELP!!!!!!

Dude, you need to calm down and take a break. I am not a code writer nor a website designer, but this worked very easily for me. I am a PC-er not a MAC user. I have a Toshiba 64 bit machine using windows 7 and IE 9. I know enough to really screw things up. Here is the finished poduct http://www.performancekaraoke.net/valvecoverracing.html
It worked for me with no problem. There is nothing to actually download provided you have the free version of adobe flash on your machine to begin with.

I just downloaded mountain lion and now my google chrome and spotify wont open

I just downloaded mountain lion and now my google chrome and spotify wont open. Any help would be appreciated.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
