Lost of software, secondary browser won't work and can't trash it either

I purchased a new MacBook Pro 13" after mine had water damage to motherboard but saved data onto external hard drive which I had downloaded the software and relevant data. I noticed that there are software that did not transfer over such as Microsoft Office conversion software which was bought couple years ago with my ex and she has the codes and disc so I supposed this is lost and cannot be retrieved?
My biggest issue only occurred few days ago and my Mac had been performing with no major issues. I can't seem to download some browsers and software. For example I play computer games and one is World Golf Tour which is a webpage based game and when you are ready to play  you click on a "Play Now" button and a browser pops up and downloads the course and game that you wish to play. I can get to all the pages on the webpage and read type click all that is shown except when I click onto "Play Now' button nothing happens and nothing comes up.
Couple of weeks ago I had downloaded an app "Swingmate" which helps calculate how much to strike your ball and was working great. Then I had to close Safari to download updates in software and when it came back on I could not get Swingmate to come up anymore. I tried to trace back what I could have download to make this happen so I discarded a few but the one that stands to mind is "Lightspark-Player-Pro" so I moved that to Trash and it is still trying to do so and 2 days the window still shows it is moving to trash. I also downloaded Adobe air and airappinstaller.
Then yesterday I noticed that I did not have Yahoo messenger installed in my new computer so I went to Yahoo webpage to try and install Yahoo Messenger 11.5 twice and it would not down load. Since I and Yahoo twice it created a Yahoo alias on my applications page so I decided to move it Trash. Now I have both Lightspark and Yahoo alias doing the same thing, its not moving but seems to be in limbo. Now anything I try to send to Trash does the same thing. And when I click on the X in circle to stop the trashing it just shows 'stopping' but it hasn't for 2 days. Sorry guys I am no computer smart just a user and I can't work out to take a pic to show.
I am frustrated and don't know what I did to start this and what can be done to resolve it so HELP me please?

i tried reinstalling itunes and then this message popped up: "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. click OK to try again or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'iTunes.msi' in the box below".
with that one, let's try the following procedure.
first, head into your Add/Remove programs and uninstall your QuickTime. if it goes, good. if it doesn't, we'll just attend to it when we attend to itunes.
next, download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. use it to clear any existing itunes and/or QuickTime installation configuration information from the PC.

next, use the the following document as a guide for manual removal of leftover itunes and quicktime program files:

now try another itunes install. does it go through properly this time?

    Hello anyone with Windows 7, not sure why having followed instructions above, install of latest version of itunes won't work and can no longer open old version either.  anyone help with this?

    Hi,
    thanks for your reply.
    Yes, except n°1 - empty Temp directory, I had tried/checked all of those.
    I emptied the local temp folder tonight, but it still won't work.
    Please note: the installation doesn't give me any problem. The program was working fine, until at one point *plouf* it stopped working. I can re-install it without any problem, it just crashes when opening.
    \\edit\\ I seem to have located the problem, it's in the library files. If I re-install iTunes without my library, it works fine (though there is no music in it, yet). As soon as I import my library, or replace the My Music\iTunes folder with the old one, it stops working.

  • My front and back camera won't work, and my flash will not either.

    I took some picture in the rain, my iPod 5th gen wasn't affected, then my iPod was dropped in a parking lot and found later. Other than that, nothing has really happened to it, but both the front and back camera do not work. When I open up a camera, it's just black. The flash doesn't work either. Can anyone help me?

  • Itunes won't work and can't be removed

    iTunes worked perfectly before the recent update. The update installed itself perfectly too, my computer just needed to be restarted for the update to take affect, but i just said I'll restart later. But then like 30 minutes later i got the blue screen of death, a windows stop error. (i got the stop error before, so i know that itunes has nothing to do with it.) So nothing was saved and the restart for iTunes wasn't a proper one. now when i try to open itunes, a message comes up saying "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed". so i tried reinstalling itunes and then this message popped up: "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. click OK to try again or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'iTunes.msi' in the box below". the retry didnt work. so i called tech support and they sent me instructions to completely remove iTunes and when i tried removing it from add/remove programs list, the same message came up about the resource being unavailable.
    Someone please help me. thank you

  • HELP!!  Adobe Updater won't work and can't install camera raw 4.6

    I just installed Photoshop CS3 Extended onto my new MacBook Pro running Mavericks OS.  My Adobe Updater says "No Internet connection.  Please check your Internet settings and/or firewall.  Waiting for connection..." That's the first problem.  I figured out how to manually update Photoshop and Bridge, but Adobe Updater still shows this message when trying to check for updates.  Also, I've tried to update Camera Raw from 4.0 to 4.6 and I can't figure out how to manually install it.  I knkow the website says to do the following:
    Mac:
    Exit Photoshop CS3 and Adobe Bridge.
    Open the Finder.
    Navigate to the root of the local disk (not the user’s home folder).
    Navigate to Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS3/File Formats.
    Move the existing plug-in to another location (for example, a new folder on your desktop). Ensure you keep this version in case you need to revert back.
    Copy the Camera Raw plug-in, Camera Raw, from the download into the same folder as in Step 4.
    Launch Photoshop CS3 or Adobe Bridge.
    I nativagated to Library/Application Support/Adobe, but there is no Plug-Ins folder.  So, I manually entered "Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS3/File Formats" and it says this folder doesn't exist.  Can anyone help me update my camera raw?!  PLEASE!!
    Thank you so much!

  • On another PC I want to backup my bookmarks but my Firefox browser is not working how can I do the backup before I reinstall Firefox

    On another PC I want to backup my bookmarks but my Firefox browser is not working how can I do the backup before I reinstall Firefox.
    Firefox can't renew it's last tabs and now won't run and let me do a backup

    It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

  • Ipod unresponsive and the 5 R's won't work - how can I get it to respond?

    I think this is toughest question, and only real smart IPOD expert can handle this one.
    computer is running windows XP and I have recently downloaded iTunes 7.
    IPOD is in "disk mode". When I plug it into the computer via USB, it made the "gong" sound, so I know it is connected, but it doesn't show up on iTunes as a source.
    When I try to reset, it shows the apple and then goes to the file folder with the "!"
    I tried removing iTunes 7 and then restoring with older software but that won't work either.
    Please help!!!!

    I was able to fix mine. I went to software update and updated a few things. I did not update everything, but only what I thought were the essentials, which I believe was Safari, a security update, and a firmware update.
    Then I deleted and reinstalled Itunes yet another time. Now the itunes store is back up again.

    Hi, iPak II user.  Two keyboard keys won't work, and the picture goes haywire sometimes, flashing itself, bak to old stuff, typing in the safari line, all this going on vey fast.   Any fixes out there?

    Sounds like it could be a hardware problem.
    Try a restart or reset to see if that helps. If not, contact Apple Support.
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
    No data will be lost.

    I have not had wifi since November when I upgraded to the newest IOS version.  I called the Apple help line and they told me some things to do and I tried them all and they worked for a few hours and then wifi shut off again.  I kept doing what they told me and it worked for a couple more days and then I could never turn it on again.  My blue tooth doesn't work either.  I had to actually increase my data usage with AT&T becuase of this.  When I did that in December I went to the Apple store and was told that it is a hardware issue and since my phone is out of warranty I would have to pay for a new phone because they could not fix the issue.  My upgrade isn't up until June 2014 so not only do I have to wait for the upgrade and I am not paying for a new phone but I have to pay $10 plus extra a month on my cell phone bill because I was going over on my Data!!!  I have been beyond upset about this and Apple is not doing anything about this nor did they offer up some way to resolve the issue because obviously it is not just some rare incident if several people are having this issue.  Who knows how many people out there have had this issue and have not said anything about it.  Now there is a newer update that I can't do because it requires wifi in order to download.
    June can not get here fast enough and I may not go back to Iphone after dealing with this for so long with no help from Apple.

    If you have a tool, try removing the battery cover and chech out. Some times the camera pin may have been misplaced. If so, you can fix it yourself.

    What computer operating system is involved in the Premiere Elements 11 and 13 issues? Same computer or different ones? Are you installing from purchased download installation files or from purchased installation disc? Does Premiere Elements 11 work completely on this computer whereas 13 will not?
    Let us go through the typical drill so as to take nothing for granted.
    1. Does the problem exist with or without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled? Are you working with an individual home computer or in a
    school or company network?
    2. Are you running the program as Administrator and is there any "domain" account involved?
    3. Is your video card/graphics card up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card?
    4. Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on the computer with Premiere Elements?
    Let us start by ruling in or out any of the above, and then we can decide what next.
    Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
    Thank you.
