Old Application Install Programs won't run

I know this must be something basic I missed in my Mac usage. I just replaced a dead hard drive in a g4 Mac PowerBook. I restored the new disk using the original DVDs that came with the computer. I then upgraded to Leopard. I cannot install a lot of the older software that I use... Office X updates, even my mac solitaire. The installation programs I always used and have backed up no longer execute. In fact, they show in Finder as Text files. What magical piece of software am I missing that allows these programs to execute? There doesn't appear to be an extension on the filenames when I turn on "Show Filename Extensions."

My accounts program won't run without legacy Java SE6 runtime since I upgraded to OS x Yosemite but I can't download it

My "Solar" accounts program won't run without "legacy Java SE6 runtime" since I upgraded my iMac desktop to OS x Yosemite but I can't download it, nothing happens when you click on the link to apple support

Okay, I'm not a Genius, but, I'm smarter than the one I spoke to at the Apple Store.They told me that they couldn't help me with Legacy Java SE6 Runtime. Adobe has the worst support in the industry so don't call them.
If you have a Time Machine backup, go to one that pre dates your install of Yosemite. Go to the System/Library/Java and drag copy the folder to your internal hard disk. Now you will need the Administrator password. Once copied, drag the old Java folder into your System/Library folder and when asked to replace, click OK. Restart your Mac and you will have use of your software that requires Legacy Java SE6 Runtime.
I'm totally done with Apple since they are trying to box me into a corner. Have fun kids.

Pagemaker is ancient, obsolete and unsupported. It was discontinued over 10 years ago. (Though why it is still sold is a mystery.)
If you want to run PageMaker, your best bet is to use a Win2K or WinXP PC.
Otherwise move to Indesign or look at Serif's PagePlus or Scribus.

Programs won't run after update to 10.6.7

Hi
I have just inherited an early 2008 iMac following my Dad's death a few months ago. So I have no Mac experience at all. On receiving it, I booted it up and a list of recommended software updates appeared which I ran, and by all accounts successfully installed. One of them was an update to 10.6.7
Previous to the update I could access the installed programs. Now I can access barely any of them.
Error message reads:
Application name cannot open.
Check with the developer to ensure this version of application name works with this version of Mac OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and Mac OS.
There aren't any further updates needed. Every time I check, I'm advised everything is uptodate. So last night I reinstalled iTunes, downloading the latest version. That won't run. Same error message.
I'm unsure what to do now. I don't have any disks etc at the moment as Mum is still trying to locate them (they had more than one property and this has come out of one that has been boxed up and put onto the market).

This is a typical error report. The section I have bolded out seems to be common in all the errors.

Wacom Install Disk Won't Run

I just got a new Intuos4 medium tablet for my iMac 3.4 GHz i7 running 10.6.8. I cannot get the driver install disk to run.
Every time I click on the "install" icon, the dock install icon bounces for about15 seconds, the install splash screen half displays and then I get a screen that says "Install quit unexpectedly." A copy of the first part of the Problem Details report is attached. I have the whole report if that would help. I don't know what an EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS) or a KERN PROTECTION FAILURE MEANS.
I'm pretty sure it is not the disk (although it could be the disk install software). I have successfully started the install disk on 4 other Macs (all 64-bit, like this one) running a Leopard, Snow Leopard and Lion. It does choke, however, on my Tiger equipped G5--I just get a white unfilled splash screen, with, of course, no error report.
It's also not the drive, because the same failure occurs on my iMac from an external drive. It also occurs if I install all of the (visible) files directly onto the hard drive.
I've also tried a few programs that use installer scripts (not the "drag to the applications folder" type) -- Photoshop CS5 and Final Cut Studio -- and they start the install process just fine.
Any clues what's going on? I know I can probably download what purports to be the latest driver from the wacom site, but I'd rather try to resolve this. I've had numerous similar problems lately, and I'd like not to create more.
Any clues? If it would be more helpful for me to just upload the entire 13 page crash report, let me know.

Before you posted, I did go to the website and downloaded their latest driver (probably newer than the one the disk says is on it). I usually do follow that practice. Like you I've found that web downloads are practically always more up to date than the ones that come packaged with hardware like this. No faults here; it's just most reputable companies are constantly updating, improving functionality, aligning with sytem updates and getting rid of bugs.
I'm holding my breath, but the install seemed to have worked, with no apparent problems so far. I have some Photoshop tasks to tackle over the weekend, so I may know more then.
I am still deeply concerned about some system issues I haven't resolved, and I really don't have an answer to why this disk won't run the install software on this machine only. I'm hoping I don't have a deeper problem.
Kurt188, thanks for the suggestion about booting into 32-bit mode. I do have a 2011 Core i7 27 inch iMac. I tried 32-bit, but I got the same result.

Solaris 8 Installed, but won't run

I�m pretty new to UNIX environments, so any advice or help in regard to the problem I�m having with Solaris 8 on my Compaq Presario would be much appreciated. It's a 1G Athlon with 128M of memory.
I�ve installed the software, though throughout the installation I was only able to get monochrome screens after I got through the monitor/graphics adapter configuration. I have an old 14 inch SVGA 1024x768 monitor (frequency unknown) so I chose the multifrequency monitor at that resolution (interlaced) at a 14 inch screen size and the VGA 16 color graphics adapter, because my Nvidia TNT graphics card isn�t supported in the install program. I was then able to see a serviceable display test screen, though the colors were not accurate in every oval.
The installation went smoothly after that, though as I say it was in monochrome without any depth in the graphics.
I can now start Solaris, which proceeds through the Open Desktop Environment 1.4 screen, then freeezes at the screen with the multiple Solaris logos. This is all in monochrome by the way. No color appears. At this point the curser is a fat X (it does move when I move the mouse).
Would I be correct that the problem is likely to be the need for a driver to support the Nvidia card? I found the Sun archive with the correct driver, but all the installation instructions seem to assume that Solaris is running and that I can get to a shell prompt, which if I can do that I don�t know how. Is there a boot option I need to use in order to get to a default shell?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Try to boot into single user mode. At the following prompt...
<pre>
Boot path: /pci@0,0/pci-ide@7,1/ide@0/cmdk@0,0:a
Boot args:
Type b [file-name] [boot-flags] <ENTER> to boot with options
or i <ENTER> to enter boot interpreter
or <ENTER> to boot with defaults
<<< timeout in 5 seconds >>>
Select (b)oot or (i)nterpreter:
</pre>
... type <b><code>b -s</code></b>. Once you're in single user mode, install the latest video driver patch (109401-06). After the patch
is installed, re-run
<code>kdmconfig</code> to configure the video card.

Program won't run

I am currently reading "Sam's teach yourself Java 2 in 21 days", and I followed the instructions for programming the "VolcanoApplication" (the files can be found here http://www.cadenhead.org/book/java-21-days/chapter.php/1 and are called VolcanoRobot and VolcanoApplication). I compiled the two programs, but VolcanoApplication won't run. I get an error message saying "Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: volcanoapplication/class"

I copied the two files, compiled them and had no problem running VolcanoApplication. To try to narrow down your problem, do the following:
1. Check the names of both files to make sure that they are called VolcanoApplication.java and VolcanoRobot.java.
Make sure there are no typos because the file name must exactly match the class name. This includes case.
2. Before trying to recompile, first erase the old .class files. Go to the directory that contains the files
and issue the command: "javac VolcanoApplication.java". This should compile both files.
The javac command should complete with no errors. Now check your directory, you should see
VolcanoApplication.class and VolcanoRobot.class in your directory.
3. From the same directory, issue the command "java VolcanoApplication". Again, make sure there are no typos.
It should execute the program and print out some stuff.

Quick Install program won't let me change user

Hi thanks ahead of time for your assistance.
I have two organizers maintained on one computer. A Z22 for my son (hand me down) and a Palm TX for me (upgraded from the original Z22 through the upgrade option). I finally added user names for syncing for the calender/contacts ect and everything was working fine until I tried to use the Quick Install program.
Quick install refuses to acknowledge any user but me so it won't install on the Z22 (though it tries and goes all the way through hotsync including having quick install remove the software from the addit menu).
I looked at his PALM folder and there is no quick install folder so I tried making a copy of it just to see.
Is there any way to add a user to quick install the help hints that you can "change users at will" but it just doesn't list his user profile as a choice in quick install though it does everywhere else.
Post relates to: Palm TX

I assume this computer runs Windows XP.
How many users have Windows Logons?
Who is Logged On when you try to sync your son's Z22?
Hint: Never, ever use Switch User.

I have Dell XPS (windows 8.1): error: "this program won't run on this pc"

Greetings, I just purchased a Dell XPS with Windows 8.1. I have tried to load Irfanview, Kompozer, FileZilla, and other software that I have run, most on XP and even on MacOS, but the downloaded software will not run or install on my new Windowx 8.1. This
is terribly frustrating! I also don't understand why there is no "start" button that leads you to the software you have installed.
Please help. Thank you.

Diasend Uploader program won't run?

Hi there, I have an HP Touchsmart 610-1010a, I am trying to run a program called Diasend uploader?
It will download install and run fine on other peoples PCs but not mine.
It is a 32 bit program so this may be part of the problem as I am running 64 Bit??
As soon as I try to open the program it says: the program has stopped working and then nothing happens.
I have been in touch with the support team for Diasend to no avail.
When I try to install it seems to go fine until the part of the install in this attachment shown in slide 13, I never see this part it just shows the last part , slide 14??
https://diasend.zendesk.com/attachments/token/intoyvodr3em8wx/?name=Diasend+-+Uploader+installation....
Can anyone help please??

I sorta feel good that I'm not the only one baffled. I would agree with his assessment that something is blocking the install on the machine from being completed. As to what it could be I'm not really sure, usually when something isn't installing properly it's due to a firewall or antivirus program halting the installation. Since you turned off Norton and attempted an installation that should rule that out, unless, Norton still runs even when turned off. I have seen anti virus programs continue to run when disabled to "protect" the end user.
I'd recommend booting the computer into safe mode (see my previous link) and attempting to install the program that way. This should keep Norton from even starting up on the program so it would guarantee that it's not the issue.

Hi Dan
Well first off, it's most often a DVD, does your drive read DVDs? Second, as your drive is working okay then you have to suspect a fauty disc. Can you try it in another machine? Or else return it.

ITunes 7 is installed but won't run

I recently installed iTunes onto my computer and it opened, but I wasn't able to connect to the music store. A friend suggested uninstalling, performing a system restore to an earlier date and try again. Well now iTunes installs, but it won't run. HELP!

Hi Everyone.
This is a real disapointment from apple to us!
At this moment all we know that this is a BIGGER BUG ISSUE on the V7 upgrade.
I can't figure out how the apple guys give us an update that ***** in the main pourpouse of it ...LISTEN MUSIC!!!
I recommend that you uninstall the itunes as the quicktime, then reinstall to the V6.5 version and I hope that you have an iTunes Library.itl file backup because as a very GOOD ENDING the V7 give a new structure to this important file and will not be read again for previous itunes versions.
You can find the iTunes Library.itl at \My Documents\My Music\iTunes if you have a previous version to replace it.
By now, I hope that apple give us another new V.7 version fixing this bug among others and the testers can do their job as they receive their checks.
This is a very "punchself" for Jobs and Apple team then their last days announcements.
Good luck to all!!
