I can't open my downloads through browser... HELP!!!

I have been using my imac and google chrome without a problem for quite some time now...
all of a sudden, when I want to download material from the web, my browser has no problems downloading the files, but when I try to open them in finder, they turn up to be "documents" when they are dmg files or txt files.
I can't open either of those files, not even the txt file in programs like bean.
The dmg files just dont work.
I don't think it's my browser since everything seems to work in the brower itself...
Help would be greatly appreciated!

Try a different browser.

    I second LibreOffice as it's the most recent fork, however NeoOffice and OpenOffice will also work.
    Just say No money to Redmond!
    Also the old Ready Set Go! will be having a Lion version out soon.
    It's a low cost page layout program (like Indesign but without the high price) and can make booklets etc better, import the excel grpahics from LibreOffice.

    i tried to download the latest itunes update, but received an error and now can't open itunes at all. Help?

    Hello bajura007,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with installing the latest iTunes update.  I recommend following the steps below:
    Resolution
    Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
    Check for .dll files
    Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
    If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
    Reboot your computer.
    Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
    Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
    Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
    Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
    Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.
    When you get to the step to uninstall iTunes, it is important to uninstall iTunes and the related components in the order listed in the link for that step.
    You can find the full article here:

  • I can not open any downloads sent to my computer,

    Please help me.  I can not open any downloads sent to my computer.  Every email with a download, comes up with "...contains a virus..."  I think it might be a firewall (don't know that for a fact) but it was happening before I installed the Fix-It Utilities11 and now it happens all the time.  Can anyone help me?  Thanks for reading this post.

    H PWillis,
    It is probably just me - I am not particularly trusting - I hate "trial period" software.  I don't know recognise Fix-It Utilities 11; I did call it up and look at the webpage for it and read the cover page...
    http://www.pcworld.com/article/216429/finetune_you​r_pc_with_fixit_utilities_11_professional.html
    In My Opinion:
    Whatever Fix-It might be doing, it doesn't seem to have fixed anything.  It is possible your system is so badly infected that you are in the "badlands" of virus-ville; on the other hand, the sort of "horror message" seems a bit over the top for a tool that is supposed to fix your computer.  The page I read compared this software to Registry Mechanic and that makes me cringe.
    IMO, remove this Fix-It software from your computer.
    Control Panel > icon view > Programs and Features > find and remove it
    Reboot
    Install some decent Anti-Virus software and run a deep scan on your computer.  I will recommend two free ones.  You can try one or both - not at the same time; remove one if you want to try the next.  I will provide a web page so you can check on other products.
    I have used the Avast Free version in the past; I now use the licensed version.  We also have the free AVG on at least one system.  There are other good products.  The point is to use something to thoroughly sweep your system for issues and make sure it is healthy.
    NOTE:  To run either (any) of the Anti-Virus products that I mention, you MUST remove Norton (if you have it on your system).  Norton Security does not mix with other security software.  It will complain when you try to remove it.  Just tell it to go away and it will do so if you insist.  Restart (Reboot) you computer after removing Norton and before installing other Anti-Virus Security Software...  Norton is removed from Programs and Features (above).
    Anti-Virus Software:
    Avast Anti-Virus
    AVG Anti-Virus
    If you would like other recommendations for Antivirus Software, you can check out Microsoft’s own page on the subject, where you can find links to many companies who provide Windows 7 compatible products.
    Windows 7 consumer security software providers
    Once you have done a thorough check of your computer, come back and let us know if you still have issues!
    I hope this helps!
    It is my pleasure to assist.

  • How can I open the 'time date browse button'?

    Hello!
    How can I open the 'time date browse dialog' from the time stamp control in my block diagram? I tryed it with the property node but couldn't find this item to open the 'time/date browse dialog'!
    Thanks in advance for your help

    There is no way to programitically bring up the dialog window for the timestamp control. I recommend building your own dialog window VI that will work by opening when you want the user to set the time and when it closes, it can programatically update the timestamp control. It will not be as pretty but it will be just as functional.

  • I can't open my downloads

    I can't open my downloads, can you help?

            What are your internet Explorer setting set at? See if this helps open up Internet Explorer click on tool very bottom of list click on Internet Options. Click on securty tab set it medium high. Than click on advanced tab. Cilck restore advanced settings. Close Internet Explorer. Than reopen it and try a downloading again. If this fixes the issue stop here, If not you need to check your fire wall settings and antivirus settings if there is programs like Titanium Security  2012  has like parental controls. Or you can do a restore to earler date and time when it last worked for you. It would be good ideal to run a computer tune up at least ounce a month after this fix. You do that in HP Assistant. Click HP Assistant click maintenance click tune up check boxes on things you want deleted such as temporary files software resent open list and so on. Check mark  on run Microsoft Defragmenter this will help keep computer running smoothly and fixes corrupted files as well.

    Mine does the same thing occasionally, is your phone jailbroken? Sometimes it will work if you delete the book and reinstall it or put your phone into airplane mode then turn it back off.
