Installer won't open a pkg file

I have just purchased wirless USB kit for an old iMac G3 and am having difficulty installing the software. When I double click on the pkg file, Installer launches but no screen appears. I verified with the Information command that the file expects to be opened by Installer 1.2. What should I try? Could it be that the pkg file is damaged or are there some obscure options I need to configure for Installer?

Hi Richard,
When this failure to open a package has happened to me, it has usually been because the package contents wee not compatible with the version of OSX I was running.
Check the system requirements for this package. You may have to upgrade from 10.1 to install this.
Hope this helps.

Student_245,
are you certain that you’ve completely downloaded the .pkg file — that the download didn’t end prematurely?

Trying to open a .pkg file

I'm trying to open a .pkg file but it won't open and I don't have the apple installer. Where can I find it, or are there any other solutions?

The latest pkg files are compressed and you need Pacifist to view their contents. If you don't have the installer app, you have a hosed installation and should reinstall the OS. The installer app resides in /System/Library/CoreServices/.

Adober Reader suddenly won't open any PDF files (Mac)

I had an old version, I downloaded the latest one, upgraded to the newest, even tried taking that one out and downloading an older version. It doesn't matter which version I seem to have, it won't open any pdf files from the web.
I use a Mac, and Safari. It used to always load PDF files fine, one random place said I had to update it so I did and since then, lately it'd crash and close all Safari windows when loading a PDF or trying to copy something from a PDF. The smart Mac message I have says it could be related to an Adobe Plug in. However, now it won't even load PDF files at all, it always goes to a white page. Nothing happens.
What do I do?? I can't even save the PDF's as individual files and view then in Preview as an alternative option. It's a link online and normally would work. What happened??
HELP!
I have a Mac OS X Version 10.5.8
I've always used Safari, it's Version 5.0.5 (5533.21.1 if that means anything).
Acrobat Reader, currently an old version 9.4.0 download. BUT, I had also the 10.0.1 version which also doesn't work. When I had that 10.0.1 version and checked for updates, there was an update (.3 I think?) and I did that and that also doesn't work!
Why did it suddenly stop working?
What can I do to fix it ASAP?
Only with 9.4.0 version I can go to Help and "Repair Adobe Reader Installation" - I click that and the only box I can select is "Adobe PDFViewer Safari Plugin - View, fill-in and collaborate on Adobe PDFs within Safari" - I click continue and it tells me there's "No missing components detected. Repairs are not needed." The only option is to click "OK".
With any newer version of Adobe Reader, under Help there is no option to "Repair Adobe Reader Installation". So... I can't even try that with a new version.
I am at a loss for solutions. Hope someone here can help! Thanks!

There are several things you can do. My first step would be to repair permissions. If that doesn't work log on as a different user. If all works properly then you have a corrupt preference file (most likely) or a corrupt user font installed in your user Library (less likely). If that doesn't work download Applejack. Have it repair the disk, remove all system caches and user caches. Then have it check all system and user preference files. Remove any preference files that are corrupt. Reboot and see if your system is working properly.

Is there a way to restore photos from Drop box to my desktop iPhoto in a large batch instead of one at a time? I tried and a zip file was downloaded but won't open. Says file format not recognized.

Is there a way to restore photos from Drop box to my desktop iPhoto in a large batch instead of one at a time? I tried and a zip file was downloaded but won't open. Says file format not recognized. I see how to do it one at a time with the "download" button in Dropbox but that's so cumbersome for lots of photos.

Since updating last time Firefox will not open new tabs unless I right click on a link. It won't open them via file or the tab at the top of the brwoser. Anyone know how to fix this?

Since updating last time Firefox will not open new tabs unless I right click on a link. It won't open them via file or the tab at the top of the brwoser or usinf ctrl + t. Anyone know how to fix this?

I can press ctrl for a new tab but otherwise a new tab does not open. I actually need help regarding this new Synch which apparently will be in Firefox automatically in an upcoming version so I am asking how that will synch with people who use LastPass-of course because I use this very successfully and really am not eager to change the set up that I have in place at this time.
I have read through endless FAQ trying to find anyone else who has this question or concern but have found nothing. Can you please tell me how that service will get along with LastPass which does basically the same thing as Synch-it is probably spelled wrong as it looks wrong to me but if I click back to where this issue began, I will lose all of this question so please respond for the upcoming service synch.

Files on one of my icloud email mailboxes won't open. No files in the mailbox will open

Files in one of my icloud mailboxes won't open. No files in this mailbox open, but other icloud mailboxes do. Any ideas?

Thank you. I tried the soft reboot again, and the home button has been working fine this whole time. I have tried deleting the email acct from the settings and the mail app still opens only empty frames. I have a screen shot of it, but don't know how to post it here to be able to show what exactly is happening.
The mail app will open. I can see the area that usually shows the messages themselves. I can also see the area that usually displays all the accts. Both these areas are completely blank. The search bar is showing on the left hand side, and up on the top right, the download button, reply, delete and compose buttons are showing. At the very bottom left the refresh button is showing. The app sits like that for about 20 seconds and then automatically closes. None of the buttons are responsive. I cannot see any of the email accounts I have in the app (3, usually but 2 at the moment since deleting the acct that seemed to have caused this problem).
I have force-stopped the app, shut down and restarted the iPad, and rebooted the iPad. None of these have helped.

Safari, ichat or installer won't open

i recently upgraded to the mac os x 10.4.3 and been having hosts of problems. Upon clicking on safari, it jumps once or twice and then quits. Same thing happens for ichat and installer. The fact that my installer won't open prevents me from re upgrading. Any help or ideas would be much appreciated

I can't open my .pkg files

Well my problem is simple. I have an Intel iMac and i bought Toast Titanium.... Well... i accidentally set my .PKG or packages file to open all the files which is a problem because that means now i cannot open programs that people had made and i cannot install any apps at all... i want a way for my .pkg to open back with finder or watever the application it uses.

.pkg files are normally opened with the Installer.app which is located in Applications/Utilities. To reset Installer to be the default app for .pkg files, highlight a .pkg file from a Finder window and choose Get Info from the Finder menu. In the Get Info window go to the Open with pane and select Installer from the pull-down menu. If it isn't offered as one of the apps to Open .pkg files, select Other and browse to its location at Applications/Utilities to select it. After Installer is the chosen app press the Change All button to make Installer the permanent default app to open .pkg files.

Cannot open mpkg/pkg files

When I first bought my Macbook Pro, I was able to open files with the extension of mpkg/pkg.
For example the firmware updates I download from the mac website is a .pkg file and when I click it it just says that there is no default application specified to open the document. This goes same for the mpkg files.
I wonder if it is something I have deleted accidentally or is it something else.
I would be grateful if anyone could help me solve this case.

These are Installer files. There have been reports of Safari 3 beta installations damaging the Installer applicaiton.
Look in your Utilities folder (Apple-Shift-U) - is there an app named Installer? If not, you can actually find the application on your Install DVD 1 and just copy it to the Utilities folder on your HDD.
Hope this helps...

Photoshop won't open my raw files and Bridge won't show thumbnails

Hi,
I'm having trouble with my Photoshop CS6 and Bridge CS6 on my Mac. It's been working fine until a few days ago, but now the image thumbnails won't load in Bridge, and I'm not able to open RAW-files in Photoshop (same thing happens when opening both from Bridge or in Finder).
When trying to open the files in Photoshop a pop up message shows up saying this:
"Photoshop cannot open this file.
If you are attempting to open a raw file from a digital camera, make sure you have the latest Camera Raw update installed via Help > Updates.
If the problem persists, visit the following link for more information:
http://www.adobe.com/go/kb407111"
I'm not able to click on updates, so that won't help me much. What can I do to get it back to normal again?

I do not use a Mac but Windows as delivered from Microsoft does not generate Thumbnails for RAW files or even Photoshop Files like PSD in order to seen the in Windows UI like Windows File Explore (Mac Finder) or in File Open and selection Dialog one needs to install some windows add on. I use FastPictureViered Codec Package, When installed on Windows I can have the thumbnails your looking for. Perhaps You need some Mac add on or Apple Update the see thumbnails for RAW files. I see things like this on the web Digital Camera RAW Compatibility 4.06
