How do I install things from the internet?

Hello,
I realise I'm posting twice and I'm sorry, but I realised I had another question. How do I download ANYTHING from the internet? With AIM I could just use iChat. But I'm wanting to download some other stuff...but when I click on the icon to install it on my desktop, Microsoft Excel pops open and it won't install. Please Help!
Thanks,
Sophie

Hello Sophie,
You need Stuffit Expander to expand compressed files so they can be opened.

Music is not included in the backup (and nor are films or tv shows), only the contents of third-party apps are included. Did you not do File > Transfer Purchases when connected to your computer's iTunes to copy your iTunes purchases over, and/or have you not got a backup copy of your music somewhere e.g. on an external drive ?

How do I download videos from the internet to my mac

How do I download videos from the internet to my MAC?

You can use SnapZ Pro X, which will screen record with sound any animation on the monitor into a QuickTime file, but it's expensive.
If you look for Add-ons for Firefox, there are some that download Flash and YouTube videos to a file on your machine.

You Mac likely will come across sites and content that won't play in Quicktime, on your Mac or in your web browser unless you install additonal codecs

Bookmark and download Flash from here, DO NOT trust any website telling you to install anything or follow their links.
Flash update

Silverlight update

There is a FlashBack trojan making the rounds which tries to con people into installing it by looking like it's the real thing.
Make sure your Flash (and Silverlight) is current by running these checks

How to install
When you click a link, a download of the installer file occurs to your Downloads Folder usually located next to your Trash Can or in your Users Folder.
Open the folder and double click (or File: Open) the download and icon can appear on your desktop which you open and inside is a installer package which you double click on to launch the installer.
OS X will check the download to make sure you intended to start it and that it's not malware it knows about.
Follow the installer instructions to install the software onto your computer and quit when finished.
Some require the browsers to be closed first, others require the machine to be restarted to enable the software.
Once the install is completed, remove any and all downloads from your Download folder, it's safer to keep this folder empty so you can keep track of what appears in there.
Drive by downloads of malware can occur and reside in the Downloads folder, mixing in with files residing there and await your click to install.

How can I remove things from the home screen

How can I remove things from the iPad home screen?

Hold down an icon until all icons start to wiggle.
You then have two choices:
1. Drag the icon to the right so it goes to a different (non-home) screen.
2. If the icon is not supplied by Apple as part of iOS, you will see a small "X" in the upper left corner. You can click that to delete the icon.
Stop the wiggling by pressing the home button.

Are yoy sure that Apeture is not in the Applications folder of the new system? If it is move it to the trash and the App Store will let you download Aperture from it.
You will need to make sure you use the same Apple ID you used to purchase it in the past.

How to extract HTML page from the internet

i am new to java, i wish to know how to extract Html page from the internet and also how to identify the differences between the images and text information?

You can create a java.net.URL that points to the file you want to "extract" and read the HTML code (or what ever that file contains) from there using the inputstream given by URL.openStream().
The difference between images and text... well, images are embedded in html using the img-tag. example: <IMG src="http://forum.java.sun.com/images/reply.gif" alt="Reply">. Attributes width, height, alt are sometimes left out and there may or may not be quotes around the values and everything is case insensitive... you'll be having hard time trying to parse the input so I'd suggest using existing parsers.
What are you trying to do anyway? You can load a URL directly to a JTextEditorPane with the setPage(URL page) method...

How do I download videos from the internet using Adobe Flashplayer?

Dear Adobe Customer Support, I want to download a video from the internet but I don't know how to do so. Please help me.

Adobe Flash player enables you to view Videos but not download them to the local drive. You need to use other non-adobe softwares for that.
If you are facing issues watching the videos due to flash player not installed then you have to tell me the OS and browser you are using.
You can also refer to the following KB's :

How Do I Download Pictures from the Internet?

This is the first time I've tried to download a picture from the internet with my new computer and the old right click method is not working. I used to right click and get the dropdown menu with options for saving the picture. How do I do this now?

I get nothing when I control click. Is there some new way to do this? I really liked that function. I actually just upgraded to Mavericks so I don't know if this problem is with Mountain Lion or Mavericks because I don't believe I have tried it with the new computer which came with Mountain Lion. I had just Lion before.
Never thought about drag and drop. I will do do that, but I do like that right click thing. With my mouse, I can do nothing except move it around. Aren't there some other functions that a mouse can do....like right click?

How do I get downloads from the internet to open in something other then text edit?, How do I get downloads from the internet to open in something other then text edit?

Lots of times when I download files from the internet like games or something they will open up in text edit. When it comes up its just a bunch of letters and numbers, it won't actually run the application. How do I get the file to open up correctly and actually run?

Hi, do you have a link to one of these you downloaded that does this?
Basically you, in the Finder, do a Get Info on it, look for Open With & choose the proper application, but might these be Windows® only games?

How do I download videos from the internet using Adobe?

I have already installed your Flasher in my computer. I want to use it to download videos from the internet. Please help me. I have two email addresses. Both you have. I hope you hear from you. My name is Gomez and my email address is [removed] Hope to hear from you.

Gomez,
I hope you are referring to Flash Player and you have installed it successfully. Ideally, you should be able to view Flash videos available in Internet.
Do you have any issues in viewing videos?
If so, please let us know your operating system (Windows XP, 7 or Mac) and the browser you use (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari).
Also, let us know what you see in the following link: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html
The following doc has useful information: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-faq.html

How to download aperture 3 from the internet

After a crash intalling maverick, I lost Aperture. My Mac Book Pro CD drive was replaced with memory so I need to download from the internet instead of from the disc.
Thanks

The only download of stand-alone Aperture installers that Apple offers currenty is from the AppStore. But to be able to restore from the AppStore for free, you need to at least install the Aperture version from your installer CD. Or restore the version from your crashed disk from your backup, if your backup included the Applications folder.
Do you still have the Aperture 3 installer disk and serial number? Then find someone who owns a computer with a CD drive and clone the Aperture installer to a thumbs drive or write a disk image to a portable drive. Then you can reinstall Aperture 3.1 from the thumbs drive and then directly upgrade to Aperture 3.4.5 from the Support page. This will let you run Aperture on Mavericks, so you can enter your registration code. Aperture 3.1 from your installer media cannot be executed on Mavericks, but its presence in the Applications folder will be sufficient to let you upgrade from the Support page to Aperture 3.4.5.
After that, you can upgrade to 3.5 from the AppStore, to have the current Mavericks compatible version.
If someone in your household owns a mac with a CD drive, you could try to use their CD drive remotely with CD Sharing.
