HT203176 when i insert a software disc into my mac it will not run, how do i get it to run? thanks

Please help - when I insert a software disc into my mac it will not run, how do I get it to.
Thanks

Then as Kenichi Watanabe has already advised...
The software disc should appear on the Desktop (or in the sidebar of a Finder window). 
Double-click the disc icon (or select it in the sidebar). 
On the disc, there should is often an Installer, or the application itself.

  • When I plug my iPad into my Mac it will not sync

    When I plug my iPad into my Mac it will not sync and my iPad will not charge. I've used every chord that I own. In addition, I've plug other things into my Mac and they work fine. If I plug my iPad into the wall it charges.

    Then it doesn't seem like its the cable then does it.
    If the iPad isn't being recognized in iTunes, you can start with something very simple. Quit iTunes, reboot your iPad, restart your Mac and then try again.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    If it still isn't being seen by iTunes, look for help here.

  • I inserted a mini CD (3") and it will not eject, how can I get it out??

    I inserted a mini CD (3") and it will not eject, how can I get it out??  I tried a little shaking, and restarting and holding the mouse pad down.  I heard the spinning but still cannot eject or read the disc.

    Short of taking it to a repair shop for extraction,  you can shut it down and try shaking the devil out of it.

  • I installed google chrome and added it to my applications folder and it works but my desktop still has the icon of the chrome volume/disk and when i right click it gives an option to eject but it will not delete how can I get rid of it?

    Drag it to the trash icon in your dock.  This is a disk image, and you need to "eject" it, to get rid of it.  

  • When I insert the software disc for my new Palm, nothing pops up!

    The CD icon doesn't show on the desktop and it doesn't show in the finder when I do 'apple' N. I've tried using the slot loading CD drive and the external CD drive I have. Nothing works. How can I get the computer to recognize the CD so I can use my new Palm software?? Please help!! Thanks!

    I already tried going to palm.com and dowloading the software. The software I need isn't available for download. All other CDs I've used have worked fine for me. In January I completed wiped the hard drive and re-installed my OS. That worked just fine. Last month I installed some software for my digital camera and that worked fine. It is plausible that the CD is just bad. But that just doesn't get me any where. So frustrating! Thanks for your input, though.

    - Connect the device to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the device under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the device from that backup.
    Note the backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like alls and music.

  • My disc drive on Mac Pro will not read installation dvds

    I have been trying to install some software on my Mac Pro  - OS 10.8.  It will not read the installation DVD.  It acts like it is blank.  I thought this was a faulty dics drive so I purchased a new one from OWC and installed it and it is doing the same thing!
    Please help I payed a lot for this software and cant use it.

    Since you're on your second optical drive, does the new one (and, for that matter the old one) read any optical disk? If it does, then there might still be something wrong with the disk from that manufacturer. If no disk is readable, I'd doublecheck the cabling to the drive. I'd also call OWC tech support. I've dealt with them for many years and they've always been very helpful with any problems.
    As far as the software goes, you bought a license as well as an installer disk. Does the manufacturer have a website from which you could download a trial version of the software that could be converted to a full, operating version with the license key that should have come in the box with the disk?

  • My Power Mac G4 will not run software update program

    I recently bought a used Power Mac G4. Everything runs fine. It is running Tiger. I try to update the software. I click on the Software Update Program. The little arrow appears under it. But, no windows open up. This happens for several different programs. I also can't run any CD's it looks like a window pops up. But then it closes right away. I need help.

    Okay, kevib, try running Disk Utility and repair permissions, maybe click on verify and repair hard drive. I guess you can get on the internet okay- You may want to check Apple for any special G4 firmware updates/patches specifically for your breed of machine. Also, check your connection doctor, I don't mean to sound like an annoying person, but Software update needs to connect to the Internet to download software, so no internet, no updating. Failing that, you may have to go to Apple's support section and download the software updates yourself. Just click on them, save them as whatever, make sure they appear on your desktop, and then run them. Failing that, if you have the original software dvd's, you may need to reinstall the system software. restart your machine, hold down the C key on the keyboard, when prompted, put the dvd into the drive, and boot up from that. there should be an option there to run disk utility, and then reinstall system software without erasing your hard drive. As for your CD's, I dunno, It could be the former problem, or something else. See if you can find a copy of Tech Tool which may help you. the trial version is free, afaik...
    good luck

  • I name each photo buy replacing the jpeg number with the name. when I burn to disk and open disk the name is not shown. how do I get the name given to show on the burn disk?.

    after I burn the files to dvd and load to view the name does not appear. How do I get the name listed to appear on the burn disk instead of the file number?

    Naming the Photo - or giving it a title - is not the same as naming  file.
    How are you burning to dvd? With iPhoto? If so then the Title will be available in any app that understands basic metadata.
    If you want the title available in the Finder - which does not understand photo metadata  - then you'll need to export the file
    File -> Export
    In the resulting dialogue you'll see a heading for 'File Name'. Choose 'Use Title' from the drop down.

  • DOWNLOADED  a copy of Lightroom 6 as free software with my camera but it will not run on my 32 bit machine,windows vista and ther are no download option availble for Adobe.

    How do I get someone from adobe to interact with me on this problem. So far Contact links have not lead to Adobe support person.

    Adobe has been posting a warning about system requirements for Lightroom [6] a while ago. This is from that message:
    'In order to leverage the latest operating system features and technologies, Lightroom 6 will require Mac OS X 10.8 or above, or a 64 bit version of Windows 7, 8 or 8.1. Focusing our work on more modern operating systems and architectures allows us to spend more time adding functionality requested by users, including additional advanced imaging features and improving general application performance.'
    So the only way to work with Lightroom [6] is to upgrade your operating system from 32 to a 64 bit version, like Windows 7 or 8.1
    A 32 bit version also will not be available. Another choice is to use Lightroom [5] in stead.

  • When I insert an audio CD into my iMac, it automatically starts playing

    When I insert an audio CD into my iMac, it automatically starts playing, and I can't figure out why, nor how to stop this behavior. When I click in the upper right corner of my screen where it says "Finder", it shows the Finder as the only application running, and yet SOMETHING must be causing the CD to play. If it is an Extension that is being loaded, is it possible to terminate the Extensions one by one without restarting the computer to see which one is playing the CD?
    Is the OS9.1 operating system supposed to automatically play audio CD's when they are inserted into the iMac? Or could it be an Extension that is doing it?And if so, why is no means provided to actually CONTROL the playing of the CD (such as a control panel with PLAY, STOP, SKIP, etc. buttons)?
    On a PC, I can press Control/Alt/Delete to bring up the "Task List" that will show me ALL applications and processes currently running, and then terminate apps and processes one by one without having to restart the computer to see which one is playing the CD. Is there an equivalent way to display this information on an iMac that will show me which application or process or extension might be causing the audio CD to play, and allow me to terminate them one by one without restarting the computer until I can see which one is the "problem"?

    Hi, Jerry -
    Welcome to Apple's Discussions.
    Finder uses QuickTime in the background to do that, hence no specific app is shown in the Application menu (the far right item in the main menu bar) in addition to Finder.
    To unset automatic playing of CDs (and DVDs) -
    Open the QuickTime Settings control panel (Apple menu > Control Panels > QuickTime Settings).
    In that control panel, select AutoPlay from the pulldown menu in the control panel. Uncheck both the items shown in the new window. Close the control panel.
    No restart should be needed in order to make the change effective.
    Doing this will also guard against the (now ancient) AutoPlay virus, which could still be lurking somewhere on the net.
