HT4796 My downloads are only opening in the text reader, my downloaded programs are not opening to run

Everytime I download a program and select it from the download menu, the download only opens from the text reader. How do I get my downloads to open properly?

Are these downloads applications? Your download folder is just a "temporary parking" area. They need to be installed first - double/control click the file; this should open a finder window with either an installer that will automatically install it or it may show it and an alias to the applications folder. Drag the app onto that alias. You can then open the newly installed app from the applications folder or the Launchpad if you use it.

  • Trying to open Terminal I get;You are not authorised to run this application. The administrator has set your shell to an illegal value.

    Hi There Y'all,
    I have recently downloaded MacKeeper. It ran OK for a bit, but has recently stopped allowing Internet security updates and switching on of the internet protection options.
    Asked for help at MacKeeper. Their initial advice did not work, so a very nice technician was going to remotely attempt to fix the issue.
    He however needed/still needs access to Terminal, a to me unbeknown Utility feature of my MacBook pro with Mac OS X 10.6.8.
    While attempting to open Terminal the following came up
    You are not authorised to run this application.
    The administrator has set your shell to an illegal value.
    Did do a diskverify permission and repair and restart.
    Did check my admin settings in advanced options and have the /bin/bash.
    Any advice anyone.
    Thanks.

    After finally localing private/etc/shells through Go>Go to folder and replacing the empty shells with the shells~orig I have permission again to open Terminal. Thanks. Another step.
    (Why though can't I access  /private/etc/...  through Finder's search?)
    Should work but the file or folder needs to exists to access it.  If you typed in /private/etc/shells and the file wasn't there there's no place to access.  Certainly /private/etc was there so that would have worked.
    So what will happen by inputting the lines
    ls -Fvl /bin/bash
    ls -Fvl /etc/shells
    more /etc/shells
    into Terminal?
    Basically to find out what you already seemed to find out.  The first command was to display owner, group, and permissions of  /bin/bash and to tell me whether it still existed.
    Similarly for /etc/shells.
    And the last command would have just displayed what was in /etc/shells.
    By the way /private/etc and /etc are the same folder.

  • The Apache axis2 jar files are not taking at run time

    While running the application I was getting the following errors. The error is getting at run time only. It has compiled successfully.
    It ran under eclipse without any issues. But with Apache axis we are getting following error trace while uploading to server. The Apache axis2 jar files are not taking at run time.But compiling successfully.

    Hello,
    I too am trying to use Axis2 application in R12. But getting the following error:
    java.lang.classCastException: com.sun.xml.messaging.saaj.soap.ver1_1.SoapMessageFactory1_1Impl cannot be cast to oracle.webservices.soap.VersionedMessageFactory
    If I run the application standalone from java command line it works fine. I think the error could be because of some oracle app jars getting picked up inatead of my application jars. How to make sure that my application jars get picked up instead of oracle jars
    I tried loading my jar file and then setting it as contextClassLoader using "Thread.currentThread().setContextClassLoader", but this did not help.
    Can you please let me know what can be tried to fix this
    Thanks

    It's strange. The problem apparently resolved itself after I ran TechTool on it. When I clicked on Firefox last night, I had no problem opening a window. Thanks for your help. (As to your previous post, the focus was on Firefox and neither the speed keys nor the menu bar would open a window or tab of allow me to enter a URL to open a window. Strange!)

  • When I start FCPX it stops with the blue-red window with the text Reading "Music at Siljan - day 5" event. Whatever I do it won´t open up so I can work. Do anyone know how to boot up? I tried to restart my computer but nothing helps.

    When I start Final Cut Pro X it don´t come further then to the blue-red window Final Cut Pro X Version 10.0 and underneath that the text       Reading "Musik vid Siljan - dag 5" event.       Please  help me!!!!

    It seems something is corrupt in that event. One thing to try is to temporarily move the folder for that event out of the Final Cut Events folder using the Finder. Then try to open FCP X. If it now opens, you know that event is corrupt. As to how to fix a corrupt event? Not sure there is a better way than reimporting the media as a new event.

  • I've gotten the message Sorry, your browser/program is not supported by Web Dynpro! I'm using Windows 9

    I attempted to open up a program, it seemed to open fine until I tried to click on the tabs to view specific information & that is when I received the message that my browser/program is not supported by Web Dynpro. I checked the website for Web Dynpro but their downloads only cover Windows 8.

    There is no Windows 9 as Windows 8 is still in Beta testing and not out until 2012.
    There is Internet Explorer 9 (IE9) browser and you appear to be using Windows 7.
    Perhaps the 8 is for the IE8 browser.
    Perhaps the unnamed download you are referring to from Web Dynpro is only for IE.

  • Fonts are not reflecting while running Java Applet Through Forms

    Hello Oralce Gurus!!
    I have a Java Applet which has few lines of text in different
    fonts such as AgencyFB, Verdana Ref etc., When I am running this
    applet from console, I am able to see the text in different
    fonts. Where as If I run the applet through forms (as a Bean
    (ViewerBean) ), the fonts are not reflected. The text appears in
    a default font.
    All the fonts are installed on WinNT, where the applet resides.
    I will be greatful if anyone can suggest me a solution.
    Thanks,
    Raghu

  • When I try to launch terminal, i get an error "You are not authorized to run this applicationThe administrator has set your shell to an illegal value."

    When I try to launch terminal, i get an error "You are not authorized to run this applicationThe administrator has set your shell to an illegal value."

    If you'd asked a question in your original post it might have solicited more pertinent responses. As it is, you were stating a fact. No one knew whether you considered that fact a problem, or what you were hoping to gain by doing so.
    The simple addition of 'can anyone help me fix this so I can run Terminal' would have counted for a lot.
    As it is, your solution is likely to require the Terminal, so you're going to need to fix that one way or another. The simplest would be to create a new admin account (System Preferences -> Users & Groups) then log in using that account.
    Then try and launch the terminal. If that works the problem is specific to your original account and can likely be fixed via some command-line tweaking. I'd start with:
    dscl . read /Users/<username>
    (where <username> is the short name of the account having a problem). This will show the records in the directory data for your account, one of which will be UserShell. Chances are that value is invalid, or missing, and can be corrected via:
    sudo dscl . -change /Users/<username> UserShell <currentValue> /bin/bash
    (where <currentValue) is the current setting for UserShell) which will change the user's shell to /bin/bash (the default).
    Of course, you might already know this and already tried, but since you didn't say so in your original post it's worth checking.

  • Preuut and postuut sequences are not executing when run using UI. They run when using the sequence editor.

    I am using TestStand 3.5 and LabVIEW 8 in a Windows XP environment.
    I have a sequence that runs properly when run from the sequence editor.  I have made a few minor mods to the simple Operator Interface that ships with TestStand.  When I run my sequence using the modified Operator Interface, the PreUUT and PostUUT sequences do not execute.  Only the main sequence executes.  This also happens when I run the demo sequences that ship with TestStand.
    What am I missing?

    Hi,
    It sound like you are executing the sequences without the process model, do you get a report at the end of the execution?
    What are these minor mods you have done?
