No available applications can open it

im trying to download itunes 10 and it keeps coming up with no available applications can open it

You're probably getting an incomplete download. Apple's servers are jammed with people trying to download the new version of iTunes and iOS, so the download is probably breaking before it finishes. Try downloading later, or perhaps tomorrow, when the initial rush calms down and see if you have better results.
Regards.

What applications can open a Domain.sites2.zip file?

I am hoping someone out there in the Mac community can help me: I'm taking over a website that was created with iWeb and someone has given me what seems to be a totally unusable "zipped" version of the site. I can't make heads or tails out of it. They said that iWeb does not import files, so presumably even if I get iWeb and try to use the file, it isn't going to work. But the export function must exist for some reason, right? :-) Presumably there are other software options out there that can open this and perhaps using them I can re-export it into standard HTML?
I generally run Linux and would ideally like suggestions as to what Linux program I should use to open this...but if that's not possible, any help would be great. I really appreciate any and all help or suggestions. Thank you!

Firstly, do you have a Mac and are you using a Mac that has iWeb on it? It would seem so from your profile as you have iWeb 08 at the bottom and Mac OSX 10.6.8?
If so all you have to do with any zipped file is double click it and it will unzip, so if you double click on a zipped domain.sites file, it will unzip and you are then left with the domain.sites file.
The application that will open a domain.sites file is iWeb and only iWeb. On your Mac, all you need do is place the domain file in the same place that it normally resides which is under User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites and then double click it and iWeb will open it.
You say that you are using iWeb 08? In this case, you need to ensure that you are using iWeb 08 or above - IWeb 09 on your own Mac so that you can open the domain file - domain files are not backward compatible.
It is correct that iWeb CANNOT import files - iWeb has no import facility for html files - it is unable to open a site that has been published being html and css.
What you have been given is the domain.sites file that iWeb most definitely can use and open - the domain file is NOT and html file and contains all the data that iWeb can use and that is why you have been sent the file because iWeb can use this file.
There is no export facility as you put it in iWeb, but there is a publish to a local folder option that is used to publish your site and then upload it to a server.
Generally, iWeb sites do not import well into other programmes so if you want to do this, then it would be best to re-build the site using another programme, but if you have a Mac running iWeb, then just double click on the zipped file and it will open it and iWeb will then open the domain.sites file.

NO AVAILABLE APPLICATION TO OPEN...

EVERYTIME I TRY TO DOWNLOAD A MUSIC SITE IT SAYS THAT THERE IS NO AVAILABLE APP TO OPEN IT. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? EVEN WHEN I TRY TO INSTALL MOZILLA I CANT DO THAT EITHER PLEASE SOMEONE HELP THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING..THANKS

PS: When you start a topic, you do not have to make a new
one just to add to the discussion; thought I'd add that little
bit of information, so as to point out your primary posting
here has been +one post spread over four+ for the most part...
...and if you spell out what it is you are doing, the hardware
and software you are trying to do (whatever) it is, with, the
general answer would be more forthcoming.
Had you stated you were trying to open an .exe music file
from some free(?) music downloads site and the Safari
browser you had been trying to do so with had failed, then
the replies could have been more crafted to answer your
real question. Most unaided .exc file types are generally
Windows and an exc is also used as a command file to
execute something; so even a savvy windows user may
decide to be careful in opening up and running an .exe file.
(They, like many kinds of file names for Windows could be
capable of harboring something malicious or unexpected.)
{Many of the file-sharing sites where people traded or gave
away, or shared music had made the news several times a
year; since there had been questions of legality in how some
of the music was shared. So, while there may be Mac-ready
sites where music could be downloaded for free, you have
to be aware that some of them may be operating outside of
the normal legally responsible channels. In other words, if
you randomly download stuff and don't care to know if you
have any rights to the content, you may be breaking a law.}
If you just want to listen to internet music content, on the other
hand, several stations across the world have channels online
you can listen to on your computer. Commercials, too; maybe.
And if you check the iTunes Radio, you can see a list of types
of music with a triangle by each one, click on those and see
the available station identities there, and double-click to be
able to see if you can get the station to work. Some just do &
some may not at different times. That works for free, but they
don't download to your computer. They just play like radio.
Although not recommended, there had been some software
that worked in demo or free (download) which could record
any sound in your computer; so such software could make
a recording of your computer's clicks, pops and any audio
which happened to be playing at the time you had the app
running. Including a sometimes very bad copy of music.
That ^ may be considered illegal, too; so that is a matter of
ones use of the rest of the internet to learn about this matter.
Anyway, there is a protocol and means toward an end, and
sometimes this requires a bit of effort to glean knowledge;
even if it is something you do not want to hear.
So, if you don't find answers to your liking, revise how you
propose the question and remember, we don't have to reply.
Not like the computer users sitting at home with a few hours
a week, knowing this stuff, are on the staff. We aren't.
Good luck & happy computing!

HOW COME FIREFOX CANT OPEN EMAIL FROM GOOGLE? I KNOW ITS AVAILABLE, I CAN OPEN IT WITH IE 11 BUT IE REALLY SUCKS AND WITH MY OLD XP MACHINE , FIREFOX WORKED OK

let's face it, MS 8.1 and MS IE are both really bad compared to Firefox when it works, but since I've switched to MS 8.1 (64 bit) I haven't been able to get Firefox to work 100%.

When I try to install an older version of Adobe flashplayer I get a message that says there is no application that can open it

I have a MacBook Pro and using Mountain Lion. Adobe automatically updated flashplayer and that wouldn't allow me to use my camera with skype. I uninstalled flashplayer but cannot install an older version, when I try I get, "Safari can't open the "playerglobal11_4.swc" because no available application can open it."

First repair permissions and restart your computer. Reinstall the latest version of flash player. Again repair permissions and restart your computer.

IMac 10.5.8 - No application for opening downloaded books?

I have a problem specifically opening and transferring books to my Kindle. No problem exists with Amazon e/book site, but most others seem to be a problem. Book items are 'downloaded' but when taking the next step to open/transfer to Kindle there is quote "no available application to open it". Does any one have any idea as to how I may solve this issue? My iMac is pretty old and I do not seem to get software updates as before - which may be part of the problem?
Thank you.
Lance

Your iMac isn't that old, but it is not running the latest versions of OS X.
I believe there is a KIndle Reader app for OS X, but you need OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard to be able to both access the Mac App Store to download the app and, also, to install and run the Kindle Book app.
You first need to purchase and install OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Also, it wouldn't hurt to increase the RAM in your iMac.
Your year and model iMac can take 8 GBs of RAM.
Intel versions of OS X tend to need a working minimum of 4 GBs of RAM.
If you can, strongly advise installing the full 8 GBs of RAM.
Correct and reliable Mac RAM can be purchased from online Mac RAM sources Crucial memory or OWC (macsales.com).
Once OS X 10.6 is installled , you will need to use OS X Software Update function in OS X's System Prefernces Panel to update to OS X to OS X 10.6.8. This will give your iMac access to the Mac App Store.
If you wish, your iMac year and model can be updated, once , again, for another $20 U.S.D., to OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion OR your can directly update for FREE to OS X 10.9 Mavericks.
Here's the link to OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion.
http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6377Z/A/os-x-mountain-lion
Before embarking on a OS X system upgrade, it would be very prudent to back up all of your important, personal data, beforehand.
You can choose just to backup the most important data by either burning data to CDs/DVDs, or copying data to large capacity USB flash drives.
The two better methods is to purchase a good quality external hard drive and backup the data and OS using OS X's Time Machine app to back your data up to an externally connected hard drive.
The other method is to backup your entire system and data using data cloning apps such as Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper to clone an exact copy of your iMac's internal hard drive to the externally connected hard drive. Cloning data to an external drive will give that drive the ability to boot from in an emergency. Your Mac will be able to be booted and run off of an external drive.
The type of connection of an external hard drive is yours to choose. The two types of data transfer connections your Mac can use are USB 2.0 or FireWire 400/800.
If you want a hard drive that has a faster, continuous throughput of data and the possibilty of running your iMac from an external hard drive (in the event your Mac's internal hard drive fails or data becomes corrupt and your Mac system won't boot to the Mac's internal drive) opt for a FireWire drive. If none of this is important to you, then get a hard drive that uses a USB 2.0 connection, instead.
Good Luck!

Applications in 'Open With' list.

When I ctrl click a document and select 'Open With' from the menu some applications appear twice. Why is this? Is there a way to remove the duplicates from the list?

Hi maskedmarvel
Welcome to the Discussion Forums!
It sounds like your LaunchServices database needs to be reset. This is a file which tells the system which applications can open what types of file.
In Finder, go to /Library/Caches. (The main Library folder, not the one in your user folder.)
Drag any file beginning "com.apple.LaunchServices" to the trash.
Reboot.
Let me know if that helps you!

My hard drive has 70.93 GB available, yet when i have more than one internet tab open, i have to force quit google chrome because 'there is no more available application memory'. How can I solve this? I have a 2009 macbook pro running on 10.6.8.

My hard drive has 70.93 GB available, yet when i have more than one internet tab open, i have to force quit google chrome because 'there is no more available application memory'. How can I solve this? I have a 2009 macbook pro running on 10.6.8. I have tried updating to mavericks through the mac app store but after it downloading for a day i got an error message saying there was a problem with the download. The same thing happens if i try to update itunes or the mac app store. After research, i have also tried repairing disk permissions, but every time they do get repaired the 'repair' button still appears, i'm not sure if it's because it was unable to repair the initial problems or if it just keeps detecting new ones.

2 GBs is a minimum in which you can do many things, but not concurrently. Be very careful to not install third-party add-ons, limit the number of applications you choose to enter in Login Items, run as few applications concurrently as you demand.
I would consider adding more RAM to your computer. Your model supports 8 GBs, so I would install that.

Commenting functionality not available when I open a pdf in air application

commenting functionality not available when I open a pdf in
air application. Adobe documentation says that is expected with
adobe air 1.0 but I still have the same problem even if I use the
latest air runtime

Back up all data.
In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
I've seen an unconfirmed report that the "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you might need to remove it as well, if applicable.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.
