Imac Mac OS X Version 10.4.8 ( downloading programs)

A lot of times when I try to download a program from the internet, or from a disk onto the computer, I am told that there is no default application specified to open.... and it suggests that I choose the application. When I try to choose the application, none of the available ones work. Is there a program that I can use to open the programs? Do I need to download or buy this program?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
You may have your launchservices messed up. Also, if you don't have high speed internet, downloads can often come in corrupted because of poor error correction on dialup modems. Sometimes permissions are damaged, and need repair in Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility under the First Aid section. DMG files are typically opened by Disk Utility. Bomarchiver typically opens PKG files. .SIT files and .HQX files are only able to be opened by Stuffit Expander, which stopped being included with Mac OS X upon the arrival of 10.4.
So what are you downloading, and what is your internet speed, and have you backed up your data?

If possible you need to Upgrade your current OS X to Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
Do this first...
Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...
Snow Leopard Tech Specs
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
If so... Purchase a Snow Leopard Install Disc...

Other countries...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
After the Successful Install, run Software Update to get the latest updates for Snow Leopard and iTunes...
You should now be able to Sync your phone.
Be sure to make a Backup of your Current System Before Upgrading...

Got an iMac and used migration tool (PC to Mac). When I try iTunes i get The file "iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version.... download iTunes now? but i have it already???

I just got an iMac and used migration tool (PC to Mac). When I try to then open iTunes i get the message
<The file "iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version.... download iTunes now?>
...but i have it already downloaded, when I press download now, it tells me I already have it, but it still won't let me open iTunes???

Unless you've tried to install an older version of iTunes that message likely indicates a corrupt library file. See Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash...

Hi Guys! I have an Imac with Mac OS X version 10.5.8 and bought a wireless keyboard. Unfortunately I can´t use the volume buttons on the keyboard. I have checked almost everything, does anyone have any good idea?

Hello, try kguy's solution here...

First, Go to System Preferences, keyboard, and click on the Keyboard tab
Make sure that the checkbox by "Use all F1, F2, etc, keys as standard function keys" is NOT checked.
Next, click on the Show All button, and select Bluetooth. You should see your Apple Wireless Keyboard listed on the left side of the screen.
Click once to select it, and then click the gear icon at the bottom of the box, and choose Disconnect.
Power off the keyboard by holding down the power button on the keyboard for a few seconds until it show "keyboard Off on your imac screen, then turn it back on again.
The device should appear once again in your bluetooth list.
Try out the volume control buttons now, and see if that cleared things up

The password I use for installing downloaded applications or installing basically anything isn't working but I didn't change it or let alone touched it. How do I fix this? I'm on an iMac 21.5 inch, Mid 2011 and Mac OS X Version 10.7.3

Was ist los? Neuinstallation von Original-CD klappte nicht. Die alte Version aus dem Backup klappte auch nicht. Bitte um Hilfe. Brauche Photoshop für meine Arbeit im Druckgewerbe. Danke.

The CS2 servers have been closed. As a CS2 owner, Adobe has provided a no-activation Photoshop CS2 installer with a new serial number free of cost.

I have a IMac - Mac OSX version 10.4 and présently i see only verticals lines on my desktop and my mouse, i mean the arrow and still mouving but with a little square with vertical lines at the right. This appened when i was talking with a friend on Skype, by error i did click on the video and slowly the vertical lines appeared and covered all ma desktop. Since then, it still there and the only things i see it is the vertical lines and the arrow with the little square.
How can i fix this problem ?
En français: j'ai un IMac - Mac OSX version 10.4 et présentement je vois seulement des lignes verticales sur mon bureau et ma souris c'est-à-dire la flèche, bouge mais il y a un petit carré avec aussi des lignes verticales à sa droite. Je pense que ce bug est survenu lorsque j'étais sur Skype avec une amie et que par erreur j'ai cliqué sur l'image de la vidéo et peu à peu les lignes sont appurues et tout l'écran est envahie par ces lignes.
Comment corriger le problème ? Merci à l'avance.

Hello, sounds like Video card and/or heat problems.
Have you blown the dust out lately? Let it cool for an hour or so.
Get Temperature Monitor to see if it's heat related...

One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode).

Hi GLNavigator,
Check your system to see if they meet the requirements for these OSes:

I've a ten year-old iMac, with Mac OS X version 10.5.8

I've a ten year-old iMac, with Mac OS X version 10.5.8 & PowerPC G5 processor
Problem is iTunes, reinstalled recently as 10.6.3; saying needs QuickTime 7.5.5 or higher.

the iTunes 10.6.3 was installed a few days ago by the same tech person selling me the computer about two years ago, when the OS was reinstalled including iTunes. I've not been able to make iTunes work since the computer was returned.
The tech person is busy and will get back to me eventually, so I'm trying to see if I can do anything by myself. This shouldn't of happened, though everyone makes mistakes; is what I'm guessing?

v10.6 isn't an update, it's an upgrade. You must purchase v10.6 / Snow Leopard.

I have an iMac, with MAC OS X Version 10.6.8 as the operating system. I would like to download a video off youtube. How do I go about doing this?

the clicktoflash safari extension can provide an html5 alternative link for many youtube videos, which can then be right(ctrl) clicked & 'download linked file...' chosen
