Problems downloading application

I'm using an iBook and I usually don't have any trouble with it. The last two times I tries to download different applications, I have not been able to. I will get a .dmg file, which mounts a white icon (similar to the one I get when I connect a flash drive to the USB port). I open this white icon and see the application. Now, in one case, the application's icon actually looked like the icon of the application, in the second case the icon just looked like a blank page with the "A" that Macs use for their application folders). Anyway, I drag the application to my desktop and it copies. When I double click on it, the icon appears on my dock and bounces like it does with any other application that is starting. The problem is that it then disappears and doesn't start up.
Can anyone help?

Did you take the time to read the requirements for the application? Perhaps you don't have the correct version of OS X installed. Most downloadable software these days will not run on 10.1.x which is apparently the version you are using.

Back up all data before proceeding.
Step 1
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Restart the computer and test.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Log out, log back in, and test. If there's no improvement, continue.
Step 2
Reset your computer’s PRAM.

Problem downloading applications on Firefox

I recently formatted my Windows Xp a few months ago and since then when i try downloading applications and other stuf my computer does not finish the task. it can end at saying ' A few seconds remaining - 1.0 of 1.0 MB' what can i do to solve this

It is possible that anti-virus software is corrupting downloaded files or is interfering otherwise.
Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.
See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_save_or_download_files
You can try to set the <b>browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone</b> to false on the <b>about:config</b> page.

Problem downloading applications.

Hey guys, I am new to this and not a very technical person so need you help in the simplest language possible
I use BB curve 9630, I was able to download applications before with no trouble so I downloaded few eg. whatsapp dropbox etc. but now I can't download any apps. I thought maybe there was not enough application space so I deleted some applications. I also tried to clear the cache by holding alt and r, s, t sequentially
I go to the app world and search the app i want to download and then press download... but after that it does not show anything..... as in does not show if it is downloading.. but surely there is no change ...
please please please help...
Also I hear bb can now download Viber... do assist on tht matter as well..
thanks in advance

Hey Imukhia,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
I would suggest re-installing BlackBerry World by going to www.blackberry.com/appworld/download and then restart the BlackBerry Curve 9360 smartphone and then try to download some applications.
Let me know if you're still having trouble.
Cheers.

Cannot Download Applications from Internet

I am having problems downloading applications via Safari. First, it was Skype...From the download page (where it says download will begin shortly), it looks like it is loading for about 1/3rd of the loading bar, then nothing. The link does not do anything either.
Then, (once I decided it was a Safari issue), I attempted to download Mozilla...Nothing.
I've checked firewalls and pop-ups settings and they all agree with letting me download.
What is holding me back?
Appreciate the help all ~

Doublechecking. Are you using Safari for Mac or Safari for Windows?
(You've posted in the Safari for Windows forum, but your system info says Mac.)

Problem with downloading apps. "Unable to download application" error.Help please!

I'm having a major issue with updating or downloading apps. They won't download! I try to download an app, it's says "waiting", then it looks like it's about to download. Then, suddenly, the "loading" bar gets halway filled, then it goes back to saying "waiting". This cycles about three or so times and then I get this message: "Unable to download application. Could not be downloaded at this time" with choices to be "done" or "retry".
I have tried EVERYTHING to fix this. I tried pausing the download and restarting, I tried soft and hard resets, I tried signing out and back into the App Store, I tried resetting my settings, I tried restoring the phone as a new iPhone, nothing works! I am at my wits end! I have an appointment at the Genius bar tomorrow, but I'm hoping someone here can help me so I won't have to keep that appointment. I've tried searching for my problem in the forums but none of the results are like mine. Could someone please help?
EDIT: I also tried checking the iTunes queue. No purchases are stuck in the queue.

Just wanted to update, since I can no longer edit my original post. I tried disabling bluetooth. That didn't do any good, either.

Problems installing downloaded applications

I am having problems installing downloaded applications. After I download an application, I can see it in my "downloads" folder. When I double click it, instead of finding the package, I am taken directly to my "terminal" screen, and then cannot install. Is there a setting that is the problem, and if so, how can I correct it? Thanks in advance for any help.

I have read the post above but cannot really follow the advice & it doesn't seem to help me. I have downloaded two applications which do not load; (1) a plugin for Photoshop & (2) some Nokia sync software for my phone. I can see the downloads, but with (1) - which is a .dmg file - when I click on it, it does nothing; doesn't open or install anything. With (2), it tells me it is downloading to 'Macintosh HD'; but when I look on the HD I cannot see it anywhere.
Can anyone assist please?

I have problem downloading av player hd.... How can i get back my money.....?? I need to buy similar application..... Plz i need help...

Reload it from the original source. If you got it with the computer, that will either be the computer's original disks or the Mac App Store depending on what its original OS was.

HT4623 I downloaded the ios 6 on my iphone. I'm having problems with applications. When I open any application, in seconds then closes and returns to the home screen. What could be happening?

Did you change any AppleID accounts or anything? I've seen this happen when changing accounts or certain restore situations.
If you are using iCloud you should be able to reset your phone to Factory Defaults and restore from iCloud, but it always makes me nervous.

I can not update my applications. It says - "there were problems downloading purchased.."

Problem with application

My screen says Adobe 8.0 series encountered a serious problem and application has to be re installed. I do not have the discs in my possession. They are loaded in our office in LA before I was sent the PC. Is there a way that I can re load the application which is installed in my hard drive according to the Control Panel?

And which operating system? If this is Win 7, you can pretty much forget the matter. It's not compatible and a reinstall won't fix it. For anything lese you might wanan give this a spin:
Direct Download Links for Adobe Software
Though then you might just as well download a trial of a current Acrobat XI...
