I get a Terminal screen when I try to install a program

It's happened a couple of times since I switched to Lion... I copy yhe dmg to the applications menu but instead of installing it I get a terminal window.
Am I just missing some soet of reader such as Adobe?

A "dmg" is a disk image. Double-click on that file and a "virtual disk" will mount on your desktop. Open that and drag the application into your Applications folder. (Note, not the Applications menu.) After the copy is done, eject the disk from your desktop and you can then delete the disk image file unless you need it for archival purposes or to install on other Macs.

Get error code 0x80070643 when I try to install Sql Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 (KB2528583)

I keep getting error code 0x80070643 when I try to install Sql Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 (KB2528583)
Operating System is Windows 2008 R2 64 bit

Hi JamesRead,
According to your description, when you install SQL Server 2008 R2 service pack 1, we need to verify if
you must have administrative rights on the computer.
There are multiple files available for the download, you will be prompted to select the files you need. We need to verify if you run the SQLServer2008R2SP1-KB2528583-x64-ENU.exe. Or you can install SQL server updates from the command
prompt and check if it can install successfully.
You can prepare an installation of database engine instance to include product update:
setup.exe /q /IAcceptSQLServerLicenseTerms /ACTION=PrepareImage /UpdateEnabled=True /UpdateEnabled=True /UpdateSource=<path where the update is downloaded> /INSTANCEID=<Instance ID> /FEATURES=SQLEngine
For more information, you can review the following article about installing Updates from the Command Prompt.

Hi Joerg, thanks for getting in touch. I've just discovered that the error message was caused by a poor wifi connection.

Have a look at the solution to a similar problem: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/921375?s=%22Your+computer+must+be+restarted+to+complete+a+previous+upgrade+of+Firefox.+Do+you+want+to+reboot+now%3F%22&r=0&e=sph&as=s
If that doesn't work, you can uninstall FF and do a clean install. You'll prob lose your bookmarks, history, etc, though, so if you do this set up Sync first! https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/what-firefox-sync-and-how-do-i-use-it

Here are the Mac requirements:
System Requirements Mac Version (*)
Mac OS X 10.6.1, 10.7.1, 10.8.1 or 10.9.1
1.83 GHz cpu or better
Nvidia Geforce 8600, ATI Radeon X1600 or better (min 256 MB VRAM)
1 GB RAM
2 GB free hard drive space
DVD-ROM Drive
Are you sure that you have the Mac version, as there is a Windows version, as well as a few game console versions.
Sounds as though that may be a Windows or other version.

I get a white screen when I try to enter iTunes Store

I get a white screen when i enter the iTunes store. The toolbar on the left is OK. The top is OK. It doesn't crash or anything, and I am logged in when I do it.

If you're seeing a blank iTunes Store, you could try resetting Winsock. That's fixed the problem for some people.
Click on your Start menu, go to accessories, and click the Command Prompt icon. Once it opens, type in the following command...
netsh winsock reset
Press Enter and it should say something like "winsock reset successful:
Then reboot your computer and try the iTunes Store again.
Hope this helps.

I am trying to download and install adobe reader, but it is not working. Everytime I try, I get the download but when I try to install it, it goes somewhere but not on my screen for me to install. If I try to install again, it says only one copy can be in

I am trying to download Adobe Reader, I have Windows 7 on my PC. Every time I get the download, I click on it to install the program, and I get the usual messages but I never get the install message. When I try the download again, I get a message telling me only one copy of the program can go on the computer. When I check the program list, it is not there. I have to restore my computer before I can attempt the download and install again. I have tried this at least 6 times but cannot install Adobe Reader. Please help me out with this. I really like this product and prefer to use it. I had o originally delete the program, due to an update conflict.

You can try using this tool to first remove all traces of Reader from your computer:

Then, you can download the full offline Reader installer from
http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.

I get a blue screen when I try to boot into the recovery mode

My computer froze and refuses to boot. When I try to boot from a recovery partition (both on the main hard drive and an installer on on an external hard drive) the screen turns blue (sometimes with vertical stripes). Any suggestions as to what's causing this. It will be another week before I can go to a Genius Bar.

I get the blue screen whenever I try to install the bootcamp drivers in windows 7

I just recently installed windows 7 home on my 2011 imac useing bootcamp.
Everything seemed to install fine however whenever I try to run the bootcamp drivers in windows to get my mouse and wifi and all that to work I get a blue screened.
Any Ideas?
Ive followed the exact instructions from the manual for OSX and nothing seems to work.

Question: Does the Windows disk that you are using have SP2 (Service Pack 2)? In other words, is your version of Windows a FULL version (and not an upgrade version) of XPSP2 Home Edition?
Having SP2 is a requirement to have XP installed on an intel Mac.
If you already have the right version then I am not sure what exactly the issue may be.

Try deleting the file you downloaded and try downloading again.

Get a white screen when I try to access phone on 3GS

When i hit the phone icon on my 3GS phone the phone goes to a white screen and then after a wait goes back to the home screen. I can sometimes get the phone number pad and other phone features to show up at least one time if I shut off the phone and then hit the phone icon when the phone is restarted. Anybody know what's going on?

I get a black screen when I try to open a video in the wmv(video/x-ms-wmv Object) format

Question provides the details

Thanks for the suggestion - removing my adblock and reinstalling the
flashplayer solved the problem, working fine now with new adblock which
will go bye-bye before I do the next update (not a fan of resorting to
swearing at my screen!)

I'm Getting a Black Screen When I Try to Watch Some of My Movies

I can hear the movie, but I can't see anything; it is a black screen. It only happens to some videos (all of which I've downloaded from iTunes). I tried removing and re-adding the movies, and it hasn't changed anything.

Hi kibbles1053,
Welcome to the Support Communities! The article below will help you troubleshoot the issue you are having with viewing some videos on your iPod classic:
iTunes: Frequently asked questions about viewing and syncing videos
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2729
Why do I sometimes not see video but I hear audio, and other times I don't hear audio but I see video?
If you hear audio but don't see video, refer to iPod plays audio but not videos, movies, or TV shows. If you see video, but don't hear audio, refer to iPod plays video but not audio of some exported files.
iPod plays audio but not videos, movies, or TV shows
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1894
Symptoms
If the audio for movies plays through the headphones and you see "Now Playing" on the iPod screen with a progress bar, but the video does not appear on the iPod screen, then you may have the TV Out video setting turned on. To change your TV Out setting so you can view video with your sound:
Navigate on your iPod to Videos > Video Settings
Select TV Out to set it to Off or Ask.
If the issue continues, make sure you are accessing the video through the Videos menu. If you have a video mixed in an audio playlist, you also won't be able to see the video.
