I downloaded Google Earth for mac os X 10.6.8 but it wouldn't open.  Why not?

Sarfari version is 5.1.5.  I got the Google Earth icon on the desktop, but wasn't sure I was installing it on the Mac Hard drive.  When I see the plus sign, does and then press enter, does that install where it's supposed to on the HD?

Google Earth downloads as a dmg.  Depending you your settings that dmg may be opened and mounted on your desktop.  If it isn't double click the dmg to mount it.  On the desktop you will see a folder named "Google Earth".  Inside are two files; Google Earth Web Plug-in.plugin and Google Earth (app).  Double click the plugin to install it.  Drag the app to anywhere you want, for example /Applications.  You can then double click the app to run it.
Note, what I just described is shown in the instructions under the files on the mounted dmg folder.

  • WHY GOOGLE EARTH FOR MAC DOES NOT INSTALL ON MY MAC?

    I downloaded Google Earth for MAC from official site; worked fine for a week. Then it crashed. No use trying to reinstall: it crashes as soon as the black sky with stars desktop appears.
    I trashed original download and downloaded a new one (always from official site). Same results.
    Any clue?
    Thanks in advance.

    There are 120 items with plist extension.
    The nearest things to apps preferences (plist) I found in the finder, were a couple of .globalPreferences.plist different in date and a .globalPreferences.(numbers and letters).plist.
    Emptied in the trash and rebooted.
    Same items now show today's date, and Mac is apparently OK except for need to reconfig mouse and language....
    Reloaded Google Earth.
    Same early crash at launch.
    ???Any idea???
    Thank you for your quick response and help!

  • I downloaded google talk for mac but I have no phone icon in my email to make a call

    how do I use google talk on my mac pro

    In order to activate iMessage, the phone has to be able to send an SMS. If the phone is unable to do that, which would be the case without a SIM, you won't be able to activate iMessage.

  • Why can't I download Google Earth?

    Just bought a Mac air.  Been a long time windows 7 user.  So far don't think too much of Apple's system.  Why doesn't Google Earth download?

    That sounds as if you're trying to access Google+ (their social site). This is the page you have to go through (to accept conditions) to download Google Earth:

  • HT6030 I downloaded Mail Update for Mac OS X 10.5.6 and was told it could not be installed because it was from an unidentified developer.  Tried installing download from MailUpdate & advised the disk did not meet the requirements for update. Hmmmm.

    I downloaded Mail Update for Mac OS X 10.5.6 and was told it could not be installed because it was from an unidentified developer.  Tried installing download from MailUpdate & advised the disk did not meet the requirements for update.   Expect it's due to being at 10.9.1.  Mail is still teetering between dysfunctional and non-functional.  Advice?

    I'm not sure what "Mail Update for Mac OS X 10.5.6" is. Mac OS X 10.5.6 is Leopard, a system that is quite old at this point. There have not been any Mail updates for Leopard in quite some time. If you are trying to install some old Mail update for Mac OS X 10.5.6 in Mavericks, that won't work.
    If you are trying to install the Mavericks Mail update manually, that's not necessary if you have updated through the App Store. If the App Store shows no updates, you don't need this. (The error message doesn't make sense, and may indicate some other problem with your system, assuming that you were downloading this update from Apple's site.)
    I'd advise you to start a new topic in the Mavericks forum and describe the problems you are having with Mail. Be sure to include specifics, but try to avoid speculating on causes, as responses that may be related to an inaccurate assumption on your part can cloud the issue.

  • What Download Video Program for Mac is as Good as Orbit is for Windows??

    12/29/2008. Friends, I have searched and searched and searched for a video download program for Mac that will download videos from almost any website besides just YouTube and such, but to no avail. The latest OrbitDownloader 2.8.1 for Windows is excellent and will do this for Windows on a PC. What similar download video program for Mac will perform as excellently or almost as good?? I've tried Firefox's Video Downloader Helper but can not get it to work. I've tried Mori but don't know how to get it to work. I've tried Perian but again don't know how to get it to work, I just get a window that says "Uninstall." I will really appreciate finding such a program for Mac, for my iBook G4 which has Leopard OS X 10.5.4 and WiFi. Many thanks. Chuck Y., Chicago

    1/2/2009. Thank you all for your help. I love this wonderful feature I find about Apple Discussion Forums, so many friends. I did not know about Perian's instructions until you informed me. [www.perian.org/#watch] I'm glad that I gave the example of "POV Inheritance," because it is somewhat complex. First a person must locate the POV Inheritance website. For Perian, to go into Windows Activity at that point shows only that line. No one told me that I must click the wee arrow to the left of that line. Then a long drop list appears. But none of those help. So one must return to and on the website click "Watch the streaming video online" or ". . . now." That brings up another sub-website on which a person must click "Watch the Full Film." Then one can choose between five "chapters," and go into Windows Activity again. Then appears "net + public affairs player: video." Then one clicks the small arrow on the left of "net+ public affairs video" and sees 17 selections. All except one are small kbs. One has a large megabyte file. Select and Command + C that, and then go into Windows Downloads and Command + V [paste]. Then the download begins. And the person must do that for each of the five chapters. The other option is not to click any of the "chapters" but instead click "Watch the Full Film," and then click Windows Activity and then the small arrow left of "net + public affairs : video" and on the drop down list appear, among many, the five separate chapter files [the ones with large megabyte files], and continue as per a few lines above. The Perian procedure is simple. Getting to the line to be downloaded, in this case, is more complex, and so a good example from which to learn.
    RealPlayer 11.0.0 [or 11.0.1] and its RealPlayer Downloader work very well too and may be simpler.
    Thank you all and Happy New Year cruising with your Apple Macs. C. Yopst, Chicago

  • A friend wants me to put together on booklet that's been done in excel. I'm on a mac os 10. Do I need to download microsoft excel for mac or can I open the document through indesign?

    A friend wants me to put together on booklet that's been done in excel. I'm on a mac os 10. Do I need to download microsoft excel for mac or can I open the document through indesign?

    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.

  • How or where do I download Internet Explorer for Mac OS 10.7.5?

    How or where do I download Internet Explorer for Mac OS 10.7.5?

    Internet Explorer is only supported on Windows, so you can't use it on OS X. There are a lot of browsers like Safari, Firefox or Chrome for Mac, so try them. If you need Internet Explorer, you have to install Windows on your computer. See > https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3321
