I am unable to run downloaded programs

I am trying to download various programs on my macbook pro and some will work and others won't. I am able to download chrome, and firefox, but I can't download programs such as plex media server. I have downloaded the install package but it doesn't do anything when I click on it. It is a dmg file if that helps. My firewall is off. When it asks me if I want to open it, nothing happens. Please help

I don't use torrents of any kind - often the content is illegally distributed and often, too, the content downloaded is full of potential malware and system modifications - so I can't help you there.
But if you can get dmg files to mount, you should have no problems installing the software therein.
Good luck,
Clinton

  • Unable to install downloaded programs

    I am unable to install any downloaded programs. dmg file expands to disk image but when I click to open, the icon bounces once in the dock and then disappears. I am using 10.4.6 on a 1.8GHz G5. I just got this machine to replace a G4- used but with an apparently clean install of the OS. I have lots of drive space available and 2 GB of SDRAM.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    What do you mean by "clean install"? As you see that term confuses the issue with the link below:

    The G5 you got, did you get with the original system disks?
    Is your data backed up?

  • Xcode unabled to run any program (even Hello World default)

    I've started into programming c++ and java in Osx (come from linux) and i've tried xcode (after trying netbeans, eclipse etc) because i find it the most comfortable IDE to work.
    The problem comes when i download xcode on my own laptop, after the large download and installation (and few updates) i tried the basic Hello World program.
    What is my surprise when, after building succesfully, i get no output at all outputs sections, but more surprised when i try to stop running the program and xcode doesn't respond.
    I get this error with every program, doesnt matter which language.
    I also have a crash when quitting xcode (it freezes and colored ballon pointer appears), so i have to force xcode quit.
    Have anyone faced this issue before? or known whats the issue related with?
    I'll really appreciate any help (as i can't program anything in osx if i want to use xcode)

    From my Guest account it works perfectly.
    How can I make it works on my Account ? Which preference file should I need to change.
    Here is the message from the debugger
    Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: 'Could not find a storyboard named 'Main' in bundle NSBundle </Users/USER/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/7.1/Applications/A0D30F60-57F6-41C5-9EB0-E5FE46F50DB1/ToDoList.app> (loaded)'

  • Unable to Run C Program using Xcode "Stop Executable"

    Hi All
    Have been using the Terminal to compile programs built through Xcode but now want to use Xcode itself. Everytime I press build and go it builds successfully but won't run. I found a tutorial that mentioned if you are using Xcode 3.0 (I am) you can't use build and run, for output, you have to go to run and then push console.Ok that works. I then found someone with the same issue as mine everytime you want to build and run it appears with another window saying "Stop Executable"They were told to make sure they were building the .c file in a project and not building it from a text editor and then importing. I always build new projects.
    I want to interact with the program not just see its output? so my question is can I interact with programs i.e. User can enter data or strings or, do I have to build an interface to do this through Xcode. I Also forgotten to mention I found information through the forum that said to go to First Aid through utilities and repair file permissions, this has been done but still does not work. Many thanks for your time and as you can probably tell I am new to Xcode.

    To run your command-line program in Xcode, open the debugger console by choosing Run > Console. Run your program by choosing Run > Run or Build > Build and Run. You'll have to build and run if you haven't compiled the program before. Your program will run, and you will see output in the console. You interact with the program from the console.
    If you're not able to enter input in the console, choose Run > Sync with Debugger. If doing that doesn't work, you can run your program in the Terminal application by double-clicking the program from the Finder. It's less convenient than running it in Xcode, but you'll at least be able to run the program and interact with it.

  • Unable to run Servlet program using J2EE SDK

    Hello,
    i am a newbie to all this j2ee stuff and servlets even.so the problem that i have maybe a very common one and i hope that most of you may have a fix to it...
    i use J2EE SDK to compile and run Servlet programs.I have a Servlet program with the class name defined as
    public class MyServlet extends HttpServlet ....
    the file is stored as MyServlet.java
    i set the CLASSPATH variable so that the required classes for the compilation of the program can be located.
    the program compiles without any glitches.
    However when i run the program by saying
    java MyServlet
    ( i dont think its any different to run servlet code is it?)
    i get the message
    java.lang.NoClassDefFoundException:MyServlet
    Can someone suggest a remedy?
    thank you
    -NDK

    First, I don't understand what you are trying to do. Running a servlet ?
    Servlets are ran by an application server ! (Apache Tomcat ....).
    Second, is your class in any package ?

  • I'm having trouble downloading firefox. The install wizard runs but then I am unable to run the program either from the short cut or the program menu

    Firefox basically stopped working. Would not access any web pages. Internet expolorer works fine so this is not a connectivity issue.
    I tried to re-intall firefox several times (once w firewall off) unsuccessfully. No error messages. The install wizard runs but then I can't start the program. The short cut icon does not look right. It looks like a web page instead of the firefox logo. When I click it I get the message "windows is looking for Firefox.exe".
    It appears as though the exectutable file is not installing.

    It sounds like the acorn had a white background that you grouped with the acorn. Hence when you selected another color the entire object looked red. Look in the layers panel for one acorn and see how many objects make up the acorn. One of the objects for that acorn should have a fill of none or white. That object you can delete. Now try and fill the object with a color and see if it is ok. If it is, you can do the same to the remaining acorns. If not post the AI file and someone can check for you.

I reinstalled the manager but I am still unable to launch any of my programs from adobe. I tried to do a trail with a program and I am still getting the same message.

  • Acrobat sdk, not able to run samples, getting a message, unable to start the program

    Hi,
    I have downloaded Acrobat sdk XI and tried to run plugin samples  in visual studio 2010, It is build successfully but when I try to run the program am getting an error message saying " Unable to start  Program 'C:\Users\downloads\sdk110_VI_win\Adobe\acrobatXISdk\Version1\Plugin Support\samples\BasicPlugin\Win32\Debug\BasicPlugin.api'."
    Can anybody help me finding out why am getting this message.
    Thanks.

    How do you run the program?
    I need to copy the compiled BasicPlugin.api under Acrobat\plug_ins folder. I can create a subfolder of plug_ins and copy the .api file there. Just one level deep: if I create a subfolder under a subfolder of plug_ins, the .api file will not be found by Acrobat.
    Then I need to restart Acrobat and I find the plugin running. In particular, BasicPlugin add a new Acrobat SDK menu and a menu item under it.
    If I close Acrobat and go back to Visual Studio, I can push the Debug button which will open Acrobat for me and stop the program execution at any breakpoints I have set in the code.

  • When trying to download a program I am not given the option to run the program only to save or cancel. a pop up screen appears the download is loaded and I have to double click on it to actually download it into my computer. Is this normal

    I switched from using IE and when downloading programs through there a windows always popped up asking to run save or cancel the file. With Firefox it only gives me the option to save or cancel and when pressing save a pop up window appears and the file is then downloaded to that. Then I have to go to it and double click to run it. I do not always want to save everything only run some things. Is there a way to change this. it seems like I am double downloading, first to the pop up window then into my computer instead of straight into my computer. is there a faster better way to download. This also eats up my download allowance from my internet satellite company this way.

    After restarting my computer firefox is deleted for Windows, when i try to open firefox a message pops up saying the program has been moved from its original location and is unable to run How do I get Firefox on my computer permanently?

    I have tried everything I could to fix this, but some things require actually being on Firefox, and since I cannot get on, I cannot click on the tabs to do it. I have even totally uninstalled firefox, and that has not fixed this. I still get the same message that firefox is running and I need to close it or restart (which I have also tried dozens of times). I have removed things like Java, and that has not helped either. If I cannot even get on line in firefox, how can I fix this. I am not crazy about using internet explorer, but right now, it is my only option. I even tried to start in safe mode, and the same message box pops up!
