I can't download any external programs like Skype,firefox etc.I had skype installed before but it somehow disappeared .Mine is a macbook pro 2011.Any suggestions?Thanks

I can't download any external programs.It used to work fine before.I had downloaded skype few months ago and then it suddenly dissapeared.When i tried to download firefox,chrome,skype etc it downloads as .dmg extension.I drag it to applications folder.Nothing happens after that,can see the download but w/o the logo of skype etc.I followed one suggestion..went to library>preferences>deleted the .psp lock file>emptied trash>downloaded skype again but still the same.
Could it be security issue?Mine is a pre owned mac bought 3 months ago.I have now registered the serial no and apple id and transferred to my name.
Any suggestions? Thanks

A .dmg file is a disk image file. If you double-click it, it will mount and look like a hard drive is attached.
Once you've mounted the disk image, you should see either an application that you drag to your Applications folder or an installation app. Just follow the instructions and the app you've downloaded will be installed.
Good luck,
Clinton

  • How can I download Find My iPhone on iPhone 4 if it was never installed before? It requires ios8

    How can I download Find My iPhone on iPhone 4 if it was never installed before? It requires iOS 8. I have read that it will download if a previous version is already installed on device, but it was never installed on mine.

    Niel,
    I'm feeling pretty foolish right now. I went into Settings, iCloud and found that Find My iPhone is there and enabled.
    Thank you anyway for your reply.

  • How can I run an external program without quitting Firefox?

    I want to run an external program from within Firefox, much as Outlook express is run from the email button. How do I set this up?
    Firefox doesn't import my Bookmarks from the listed html file. Any cure for this?

    I don't want to run the mail program, I want to run another program.
    Maxthon allows me to do this using External Tools. Does Firefox allow me to run other programs without leaving Firefox?
    2. Firefox allows me to load an html file which contains my bookmarks, but it doesn't load the bookmarks file. is there a solution?

    Any time you change networking hardware it is always a good idea to perform a complete power recycle with the new equipment. Check out the following AirPort User Tip. Please post back your results.

  • How can I display files in external program like Word?

    Using NetBeans 6.5, IE7, Windows XP
    I have not had any luck attempting to get a PDF file to display in a separate browser window,
    so I thought I might try to combine that with a new issue.
    I have 3 file types - jpg, rtf and pdf that should be able to be displayed in external programs like Word or Adobe.
    Is there a way to start an external application and pass the file name from a backing bean?
    The files would be located on the server in a directory that is mapped to the client and the applications (Word, etc.) would reside on the client.
    Can this be done from within the confines of a JSF application?
    Thanks

    I was kind of hoping that someone could point me to an example of how to do this.
    I've tried the servlet approach, but can't seem to get the file to display in a separate browser window.
    That is why I thought about maybe launching a separate application, if that is possible.

  • I'm paying for the creative cloud package but Can't download any program!

    I'm paying for the creative cloud package but Can't download any program! Adobe is not recognizing my payment! What can I do? I can't wait anymore! Anyone here have seen it before?

    Hello Sheena, thank you for your reply.
    Actually I have already contacted the support. My case number  is 0215124375.
    I decided to write here at the community because I'm sincerely worry about it, and I would like to know if someone else have already seen it before.
    Adobe is verifying my case, but I'm in need of an urgent response. I don't know if I make another account and another credit card debit, just to have access for the programs, or if I wait working on another old PC computer for 25 trial days. If I make another account I can be charged for 2 payments, That's what I don't want.
    If you have any other case like mine, please let me know,
    SIncerely,
    Wellerson

    We're going to need more, clear information.

    If so, what are you trying to download and what happens when you try?

  • I can't download any rented movie. When I start downloading Windows iTunes crashes and Windows close this program. What should I do?

    I can't download any rented movie. When I start downloading Windows iTunes crashes and Windows close this program. What should I do?

    If the problem is iTunes slowing down and not appearing to run correctly, you should check  this Apple article out-> Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
    You may want to try resetting Winsock as a temporary fix.
    1. To do so, please do the following in an administrator user:
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: Right click All Programs and choose Accessories > Command Prompt. Choose to open as an administrator.
    Windows XP: Click Start > Run and type in cmd.
    2. Enter the following command: 
    netsh winsock reset
    3. Restart the computer and test the issue.
    Note:  If the issue returns, third-party software may be reinserting the LSP.

  • Can i download and use programs?????

    Can i download and use programs such as FullTilt Poker, an online gambling sight. Someone please help me with this

    No. I'm sorry you didn't read all the press about this during the past 6 months, but from the get-go Steve said the iPhone would be a closed system. Recently he kind of left the door open to maybe let developers write applications (well, he didn't actually say that, but he made it sound like they were "working on something").
    You cannot buy/download ANY third party applications. You only get what comes with the iPhone. Of course, Apple could provide updates to your phone in the future and add new applications, but still, you only get what they give you.
    Now, you mention an "online gambling site". You can use Safari to interact with AJAX-scripted web sites (these are called "web applications" not applications in the traditional sense given that you have to be online, have to connect to their web site, and a bunch of other stuff I won't get into). I'm not familiar with the online gambling site you speak of, but does it require you to download some software? If it does, then you're out of luck, if it doesn't, well you still may be out of luck if the web site relies on Flash or Java.

  • My iPhone 3S will not allow me to upgrade. I can't download any apps and when I connected my iPhone to iTunes and tried to upgrade it, it said it was already updated. On top of that, WiFi does not work with my iPhone. What do I do to fix this?

    My dad got this iPhone for me a few months ago as a gift since I had a really awful phone before.  The only thing is, I can't seem to upgrade it to the latest software without it telling me it's already updated to iOS 4 or something like that.  (I would be able to give you the exact iOS version, but ever since connecting my iPhone to iTunes, my phone isn't responding so I can't check the settings or anything.)  I can't download any apps (I get an error message saying the software on my phone is too old) and so I pretty much am extremely limited to what I can do on this phone.  I'm very frustrated at this point and incredibly displeased with Apple's products.
    If someone could please explain to me why this is happening and what I can do to fix it, I'd be extremely grateful.
    Thanks.

    What iPhone do you have? You can check in settings>>general>> about.
    If you have a 3G you cannot update beyond iOS 4.2.1. The 3G is over 4 years old an was discontinued over 2 1/2 years ago. You need the latest ios to run the latest versions of some apps. If you have a 3GS you can update.
    If your phone is not responding, reset it by pressing and holding down both the home button ad lock/ sleep button simultaneously until the Apple logo appears.

  • I can not download any files using Safari ? when I choose to download application file the URL include the file name and stop responding. Any help??

    I can not download any files using Safari ? when I choose to download application file the URL include the file name and stop responding. Any help??

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The Guest login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • I can't download ANY file with Safari 5.1

    Hello, I need hel please.
    The problem I have is the following:
    Safari 5.1 can't download ANY file. I have a Macbook pro running on 10.7.2
    I think the problem started after upgrading to Lion. The only way I manage to download files is "right clicking" the file and selecting the download button from there. I can't do this with all of the downloads because lots of internet downloads redirects users to another page which says, for example,  "your download will start in a few seconds" and with the problem I have, it never starts. The page remains like it's loading but I leave it there for a while and download don't start.
    I tried with Chrome and the problem is there as well.
    Any help will be great,
    Thanks

    Forgive me in case this is obvious to you, but since you say you just upgraded to lion, it may apply.
    When you download the only indication you get is a blue progress line in the small down arrow download icon on the top/right side of the Safari window, next to the Search box. Click on that and you'll see a list of recent downloads assuming it's working.
    I assume you've used Finder to look in your Downloads folder for the files already.
