I can't open a silverlight dmg file-it always opens Terminal window
Hi, I can't open a silverlight dmg file to watch netflix. I am running Lion on my 2.66ghz iMac i5 with 10.7.3. I can download and install silverlight but when I try to open the file, it always opens the Terminal window. Please Help.
It sounds like all your launch services file associations have somehow been corrupted. I suggest your reset the launch services bake to their initial default settings.
The easiest way for you to do this is probably to get a maintenence utility like OnyX (download the Lion version for your case). It has, among many other things, a way to rebuild the launch services. Launch OnyX. It will ask for your admin password and a window like below will be dispallyed.
As you can see from the above picture in OnyX you select Maintenance, Rebuild tab, check the LaunchServices checkbox, and click the Execute button (not shown here but it's at the bottom of the window).
Note, the above shows the window for the Snow Leopard version of OnyX. I don't know if the Lion version is different since I don't use Lion.

Upgraded to OSX 10.8.2 and now I can't run any downloaded dmg files.
Upgraded to OSX 10.8.2 and now I can't run any downloaded dmg files. Says "the Following disk images couldn't be opened". and then say's there "isn't enough disk space" I'm pretty sure it has something to do with apps that are not approved by the app store. How can I turn it off?
Select your hard drive in the Finder and choose File -> Get Info. What is the available space?

Cannot open any au.dmg file. "There is no default app. to open the doc."
I cannot open these free audio plugins. What application should I use to open these AU.dmg files?
ex: http://bram.smartelectronix.com/plugins.php?id=1Are you referring to this specific file?
http://www.smartelectronix.com/refer.php?url=~bram/adrian/SupaPhaser_au.dmg.gz
The rest are all .sit files which are Stuffit compressed and require Stuffit Expander or The Unarchiver or something similar to open.
.gz is gzip compression and should already be on your computer. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gzip
This will decompress to a .dmg file which is a standard OSX image file and should open with DiskImageMoutner in /System/Library/CoreServices
.au is an audio format which is somewhat archaic now I believe. I haven't encountered a file in that format in many years. Presumably the software package you are using will open it. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aufileformat]
While Pacifist will open .dmg you should already have DiskImageMounter on your computer as part of the basic package. I start to get worried when something like that is missing because who knows what else may be missing and why? Perhaps early stages of directory problems? -
Cannot open pkg in dmg file am told the download has been
Mavericks upgrade?!
I download a driver from Epson, open the dmg file OK, then open the pkg file OK, and am told the app has been installed sucessfully.
BUT
I cannot find the app anywhere, so cannot use my Epson Stylus Pro 3880.
Epson has given me an Apple driver to download, but again nothing to be seen or used once the file has been downloaded.
Christmas is coming, the time is getting short.
I want to get some photos printed
Or
I'm in shtuck !Depending upon the nature of the software there may be no application to open. It might just be a component that appears when you choose a printer to print to from within the print interface for the application you are using. That's how a typical driver acts.

How can I script a Flash .exe file to always stay on top of all other windows?
Hi All,
I'm new to action script, and I just need this one script
> How can I script a Flash .exe file to always stay on top of
all other windows?
Basically what i want to do is have a flash-created
step-by-step instructional movie, but for the movie to remain on
top of all windows so the instructee is able to follow the
instructions on-screen...
It would be preferable to not have to buy another product
just to do this... as I said, this is the only scripting I need.
Thanks in advance
Cheers
Rickif you create your exe with mProjector you can use one of its
new AS
commands to do this.

Why is every time I open something in safari it will always opening a new tab?
Why is every time I open something in safari it will always opening a new tab?
Ordinarily a link will open in the same tab, however, the website can specify that a new tab is to be created.
Of course, you can specify that you want a new tab if you press and hold on the link and select open a new tab. -

Can't open or create dmg files!!
I'm not sure if this is related to the recent update or not, I'm at 10.4.8 on an iMac G5 (w/iSight) Trying to open any dmg file yields a Warning message: "The following disk images failed to mount", with the image listed, and the 'Reason' is "Device not configured" Any attempts to create or mount an image via Disk Utility result in the same error. I would be calling tech support, but they're only open when I'm at work
Any ideas?
Thanks
JonCan someone help me with a similar problem? Safari
used to work fine, but now, when I click on a link in
a webpage that should give me a pdf file, I just get
a blank page with the url for the link showing above
in the address space. There is no download happening
at all. I find I can download them using Explorer,
but I don't want to use Explorer. I have OS 10.4.8
and Adobe Reader 7.0.5. Thanks for any help.
After reinstalling Safari, etc., I tried installing the Schubert plug-in mentioned in an e-mail above. It didn't work until I went into Adobe preferences and turned off the instruction telling it to display downloaded pdf files. Suddenly, voila! I'm downloading files fast into the browser, and can save them fast to my desktop. So, thanks, whoever it was that suggested that little plug-in. -

Hi friends. i downloaded the shrook RSS reader and installed everything properly with dragging the dmg and install to application folder as always. However everytime I start the program, it starts from the dmg file. If I want to delete the dmg file it tells me I can not, as it is in use and if I quit Shrook and then delete the dmg file, at the relaunch it resintalls shrook. What did I do wrong. i tried redownloading and resintalling to no avail.
Hi
After you download the diskimage, and open it, you drag the Shrook icon, (the Orange one) to your Applications folder.
As you have copied its contents, you can now eject the diskimage.
Thereafter open Shrook from the Applications folder.

Disk images couldn't be opened when downloading .dmg file
Since I upgraded to Yosemite I haven't been able to instal a .dmg file for upgrade of adobe - assumed a corrupt file but it wasn't vital so I ignored it until today when I needed to use the player.
I have run disk verification/permission checks - all ok & I have turned off security & firewalls but, even with deleting and redownloading the files several times after purging the error code still says
'The following disk images couldn't be opened' = reason given 'No such file or directory'
I have also tried to download Opera and Chrome today - the same error occurs.
Running Yosemite on Macbook pro from 2013 - all softwares up to date and problem recent - can anyone help?
SimonSame problem here. Restarting Mac fixes it for awhile, but then I start getting the "No such file" error again.
