I click on a free app and try to install and nothing happens

Try these two resets, then there is OnyX which you should download for your version and run. I'm hoping these will help.
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
Wait 15 seconds.
Attach the computers power cable.
Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM RESET
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

  • I attempt to put the kindle app in my ipad I hit the button to install and nothing happens, this happens with other apps also. Any ideas?

    I am having a problem with my Ipad. I am trying to add the Kindle app to my ipad but when I hit the install button nothing happens. This occurs with other apps I try to add also. Any ideas? Thanks

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • I click resume on updating OS X mavericks and nothing happens,what do I do

    I click "resume" on updating OS X Mavericks on my new MacBook Air and nothing happens. It shows Paused in light grey above 596 MBof 5.29GB in front of resume.I would like to clear it and start over.

    The application manager provides activation and online features, so no, unisntalling is not an option or else your Adobe software would go defunct.

  • HT201250 When I open time machine I can click on any time, arrow, or file and nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?

    I cannot get my time machine to work properly.
    When I open the program I see the back-up dates on the right and click the date I would like to access. Nothing happens.
    Next, I try to flip through the dated files but can't get past the first one.
    The arrows do not highlight and therefore I cannot scroll to the date I need to restore an item.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Do I need to reinstall the software?
    Any suggestions are welcomed
    Thank you
    Lonnie Schwartz

    It sounds like you're starting from a Finder window showing something that wasn't backed-up on any of those backups. 
    Try either selecting your Computer or internal HD in the sidebar before going into Time Machine, or pressing Shift+Cmd+C after getting there.
    You might want to take a look at Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #15A, especially the pink box there.
    If that doesn't help, post back with a bit of detail; are you still on Lion (10.7.x), what sort of Mac do you have, where are your backups (external HD, Time Capsule, Network Drive, etc.)?  It might help to post a screenshot, too.

  • HT204266 Why won't my apps update when I click update? It just says 'waiting' and nothing happens.

    My apps won't update and I cannot delete them and reinstall them.

    Try updating on iTune and sync to iPad.
    Important: Up date one at a time; do not select "Update All"
    See bottom right of picture.

  • I can't update my Pages program it says it is installed and nothing happens?

    I can not update my Pages it is saying it is installed but it isn't?

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Note: Apple has removed over 90 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

    Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

  • Firefox Won't open.. I uninstalled and re-installed and nothing happens when i launch it.

    I'm not sure what triggered this. the firfox file shows as running in Wondoas Task managers process and Services tabs.. yet the GUI won't display. If its been blocked via registry trigger etc I don't know how it happened. I use several add-ons and will unistall my personal setting with the new install next if I can't find help here.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == User Agent ==
    Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.0; Trident/4.0; SIMBAR={257A3D1F-DB86-450E-A0A7-CAD444888052}; GTB6.5; Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1) ; (R1 1.6); SLCC1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; Media Center PC 5.0; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; OfficeLiveConnector.1.5; OfficeLivePatch.1.3; msn OptimizedIE8;ENCA)

    I also have this (on Windows XP Pro 64), happened after I installed the latest Avast a/v last weekend after renewing my subscription, but, it may not be the cause. I uninstalled FF, removed all registry enrties and re-installed FF.
    But, same as before, I click FF to launch, I see it appear in Task Manager Processes, it does not appear in the Application list, and I can get up to 3 or 4 instances of FF in Task Manager Processes. I end each process to get back to one, or none. Sometimes removing one will remove all, so, there is something causing an interdependency between the multiple FF processes.
    Before this happened, about 2 weeks ago, FF somehow made itself primary browser (I run Chrome, IE, Opera & Safari for checking web build work). I put it back IE as primary browser, but after that, whenever I opened any email link in Outlook, IE would appear as a blank page and FF would also open with my default home webpage. If I click the Outlook email link again, the link target would then open in IE leaving FF still showing my home page. Weird.
    I have re-set the URL:Hypertext Transfer Protocol ( and the similar ones) using Folder Options / Advanced / Edit Open to set it back to IE for application to be used, and tried disabling 'Use DDE'. Something keeps re-generating it back. Given up, just click the email links twice.
    Does any one have an answer to FF not loading, its my essential main browser for much of my work.

  • I have been denied netflix for months based on the silverlight installation they have advised me to uninstall and then reinstall. Well every time I go through the uninstalling and then move to reinstall it states "press install" and nothing happens.

    how can I install silverlight for netflix? Everytime I get there, the computer freezes just when I'm about to press 'install.'

    Maybe this will help.

  • Why won't the Adobe Acrobat free trial download button work - nothing happens when I click it?

    I've tried any number of ways to enter the site and download the free Adobe Acrobat version and nothing happens.   I don't get any response to my clicks.

    Have you tried using a different browser?  Some browsers do not fair well with download links in the Adobe site.

  • HT4623 Anyone having trouble with App Store install and cloud store buttons not working after 6.1 update?

    Anyone having trouble with App Store install and cloud store buttons not working after 6.1 update? I go to install an app. I hit install and nothing happens. About a minute later it asks me for my password and then it does nothing. The install button goes back to saying install. However the app shows up in my installed list and in cloud but no app installed.

    OK - I found a helpful post - closed app store app and under Settings/General/Date and Time I reset the date and time by switching off "Set Automatically" and then switching it on again. Went back to App Store, launched it and Updatesseems to be working again.
    Go figure? Logical, No!

  • My itunes has disappeared from my computer.  I click the icon as usual and nothing happens.

    I have a shortcut on my screen to go to itunes.  I click on it as I always have and nothing happens.  I goggled and it went to apple which told me to reset my apple password which I did.  Then it told me to download itunes to my computer.  I didn't because I already have it and have a  lot of downloaded songs that I am afraid I will lose.  Do you know what has happened or what I might have done wrong?

    It is also possible that iTunes is already running, but something is messed up (and it won't let you run it twice). Open up the Task Manager (cntrl-alt-del) and see if the iTunes process is listed. If it is, right click it and kill it. Then try to lauch iTunes again.
    Or - you could reboot.

  • Up until today I could use tabbed browsing. When I go to click on the + sign for a new tab nothing happens. I have gone through everything. Why isn't this working?
