How to get out of dos mode on a macbook

i have a macbook. everytime i download a program from the internet and open it it sometimes in says it cannot be used in dos mode. what is dos mode? and how can i get out of it to use my program

Are you sure that you are downloading a compatible mac file?  A .dmg is what you need to have for a file you are going to try to run in Mac.

    What exactly are you trying to do? PVRs are for recording from TV not computers.
    Either way, if it's complaining about DOS mode, it's Windows oriented software and not Mac compatible.

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer          
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Did you erase it and restore it as a new iPad after you bought it? If not, I would do that first and see if that helps.

  • How to get out of Recovery Mode? Please help!!

    Hello all,
    I have a Nomad Muvo^2 that is stuck in Reocvery Mode. Turns out that when i loaded recovery mode, i didn't really need it cuz it was just my computer that was messed up. Now with a new computer and me being able to access the E dri've for it and see its contents, i can't get out of Recovery Mode. When i turn my player on it reads this message:
    Recovery Mode v.00
    Then it lists the different options like PC Scandisk, etc...
    How can i get out of it's
    Could someone please help me?
    Also could i use the Recovery Tool for it even though my specific type of player is not listed?
    Thank you

  • How to get out of Safe Mode?

    Hi,
    I started up in safe mode and was able to trouble shoot a peripheral problem. However, I still have a HD icon on my desktop. How do I get out of Safe mode? I did restart a couple of times but the icon continues to appear.
    Thanks!
    S

    If you have rebooted, then you are no longer in safe mode. The HD icon is not an indicator of being in safe mode. If you don't want to see hard drive icons on the Desktop, you can set that preference in Finder -> Finder menu -> Preferences -> General.

    If your phone is in recovery mode you have no choice but to restore it.
    How to Get iPhone Out of Recovery Mode
    All the data on it is already lost if it is in recovery mode, you will have to restore it and when setting it up again at the end of the restore process your phone will restart and you will have to set it up again as you did when it was new.  In the process you will be given the option to restore it from and iTunes or iCloud backup.  If you have been backing up to iCloud choose that (be sure to plug your phone in to a wall charger as this will take hours to complete). 
    If you haven't been backing up to iCloud choose restore from iTunes backup, then restore from  the backup you created the last time you synced your phone.  If it won't restore in recovery mode by connecting it to iTunes you will have to try putting it in DFU mode to restore it.
