I have a mac and I've tried to download certain programs but when I open up the file it say "This program cannot be run in DOS mode" so what do I do to get out of DOS mode?

I've heard of bootcamp to run with windows when download programs as such but I don't have a windows installation disc and don't know which one to buy so please help.

Here are a few ways. The best way imho is a bootable clone.

I have a Mac Book Pro and I'm trying to upgrade to Mavericks but when I click on the free download it does't do anything. What am I doing wrong?

I have a Mac Book Pro with 10.7.5 and I am trying to upgrade to the free Mavericks but when I click on the download it doesn't do anything. What am I dong wrong?

A couple things to try.
1) Quit the App Store, wait a few minutes, then open it and check the Purchases tab. Is there a progress bar.
2) Boot into Safe Mode and try to download it: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564

Running 10.6.8. Trying to open and view contents of a CD (of an MRI) and getting message 'This program cannot be run in DOS mode' Is there a way? Thanks for the help.

Go to the support site for the provider of the MRI software.
Sounds like it windows/PC. I have ran across that for the CDs that veterinarians provide for digital x-rays.
I would try on a PC or on yuur Mac with Windows via BootCamp or a virtual machine like VirtualBox

I am trying to reinstall Windows on my macbook pro. I downloaded the support files and Windows 7 iso file to a USB drive. However, when I try to run the setup.exe program I get the message "this program cannot be run in DOS mode."

I am trying to reinstall Windows (would not launch). I removed the partition and started over. I downloaded the support files and Windows 7 iso file to a USB drive. However, when I try to run the setup.exe program I get the message "this program cannot be run in DOS mode." I was successful before, what am I doing wrong this time?

Try a restart.
If that doesn't fix the problem, shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application unistaller. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

Are you certain the copy of Adobe Photoshop CS is for the Mac OS, not Windows?

Looks that your current profile isn't working properly.
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile:
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

I have Windows 7 and was wondering if there was a version of Firefox called "Nightly"? The File type of a Nightly.Ink. Also, every time I open "Nightly" now I get a program update popup and it says "update.exe". Is this a part of Firefox "Nightly" or is it a virus? Please answer this so I can relax. My email is [email protected]

There is a version of Firefox named Nightly, but most people do not have it installed. Currently:
* Firefox 24 (released)
* Beta (future Firefox 25, subject to some changes)
* Aurora (future Firefox 26, subject to many changes)
* Nightly (rapidly evolving future Firefox)
I can't answer your detailed questions about Nightly, however, please make a backup of your profile before removing it, if you remove it, as some users have reported losing all their personal data when doing that.

When you erased the disk did you select Mac OS Extended Journaled as the format option?

I downloaded Mountain Lion on my Mac Book Pro but when I go to install it, it says "OS X cannot be installed on Lion." Any advice?

I downloaded Mountain Lion on my Mac Book Pro but when I go to install it, it says "OS X cannot be installed on Lion." Any advice?

Right-Click the "Install OS X Mountain Lion" installer under /Applications and select Show Package Contents and drill down through the folders; Contents/SharedSupport. Drag the InstallESD.dmg file to your desktop. Grab an 8GB USB stick as the file is 4.35GB's and might not fit on a 4GB USB stick. Then mount the DMG by double-clicking it and stick your 8GB USB stick in and that will mount then you can use Disk Utility to restore the DMG to the 8GB USB stick. Then shutdown and reboot while holding the Option key and select the USB drive. See if that will let you install Mountain Lion.
One more thing, you have to format the USB Stick first and ensure it's set to GUID mode (under Partition tab Options button) or it won't boot.

I had to set up a new email ID, because I no longer had access to my old email address and Adobe was forcing me to change password, but I could not access the verification email. Now I cannot read my books under my new ID, even though I got Adobe support

I had to set up a new email ID, because I no longer had access to my old email address and Adobe was forcing me to change password, but I could not access the verification email. Now I cannot read my books under my new ID, even though I got Adobe support to set up my new ID.

If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare(or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.
