Skype downloaded but not?

so i restart my computer one day
and i go to my shortcut to start up skype
i click it, and this window pops up
i swear i have it installed, so i go into my control panel to programs
i look for skype
and i see this
that's weird
i didn't uninstall it
so i go and get the installer again
i wait for it to install, and get a window telling me this
but, it's not on my computer as shown.
then another window pops up after it
i restarted my computer, did everything to see if i could fix it, but nothing helped
so my skype is just left like this
any advice?

The "Object already exists" error message is known to be caused by the recent Windows Security update KB2918614. Due to changes this update made to Windows Installer, not only Skype, but also several other updates (e.g. Adobe Reader, Java and even updates for Sophos Antivirus) may suffer from this behaviour. Uninstalling this update will rectify the issue, and this update can always be subsequently reinstalled (when the affected application is successfully installed/updated).
Try to uninstall this Windows Security update KB2918614.

Remember to reboot your computer after uninstalling this update.
After uninstalling this update try again to install Skype.

  • How to download but not install OSX Mountain Lion on Mavericks

    Hi all
    I would like to download but not install OSX Mountain Lion on my MBP which is currently running OSX Mavericks.
    This however seems impossible. I think OSX Mavericks were already installed on my MBP and therefore it seems "impossible" to download it.
    Now, why would I to do this? The answer is quite reasonable, due to certain demands related to an application portfolio I need Mountain Lion, because the portfolio is not upgraded to run on Mavericks. And, it is more reasonable to downgrade a version of OSX, rather waiting for the portfolio upgrade which can take years.
    Yes, I need to downgrade my secondary MBP which also came with preinstalled Mavericks. This can be done, if I only could download but not install Moutain Lion.
    It should be easy enough; download Mountain Lion, make an installer and make a bootable thumb usb stick. Then erase Mavericks and install Mountain Lion.
    I have previously bought Mountain Lion so it is accessible to me in the App Store, but whenever I try to hit the Download button, I get a message saying this can't be done, since I am running Mavericks.
    This bugs me, it should be obvious users needs the flexibility to swap whatever OSX version they need. It is still software.
    So, how can I download but not install Mountain Lion on my newer MBP that came with preinstalled Mavericks?
    I would like to see answers like:
    "In order to get this to work, you first have to disable the locking mechanism in [...] " instead of "No, this is impossible to do"
    Regards

    Thanks for your reply Eric
    Can't help wondering thought, people are ok with this?
    Basically Apple are saying: "Do not attempt to install an older version of OSX which came preinstalled. If so, expect multiple failures." Really?! Has it always been so? For me it's not like I'm going to install Snow Leopard on my Late 2013 Retina MBP, but I would expect some form of backward compatibility between the previous version and it successor. Apparently this is not possible, and how is this even acceptable? 
    Personally, I am not going to downgrade, as if I had a choice, but I would and I expected however, the possibility to at least download the previous OSX version. What do you do if you have bought several applications, not necessarily online from App Store and buy yourself a new Mac with preinstalled Mavericks and after installing your "old" applications they fail to work properly? What do you do since downgrading apparently is not an option. So... again, what do you do? 
    If you don't have friends with an older Mac, you could be facing serious problems. And I'm not talking about gaming, but serious business. 
    I find this quite disturbing actually, and please tell me it's not so. There gotta be a way to do this?
    I simply want to download the OS but I expect some registry values (like windows' registry) keeps preventing this.
    It should be possible to simply download and not download and install in one operation, shouldn't it?
    Regards

  • I bought a 5 yr old Mac G5 OSx 10.4.11, 2 GHz intel Core 2 Duo processor, 1GB 667 MHz DDR1 SDRAM memory.  It works fine but I can't get Thunderbird, Flash Player or Adobe reader to install -- it shows up on desktop as download but not App folder. Why?

    Question:  I bought a 5 yr old Mac G5 OSx 10.4.11, 2 GHz intel Core 2 Duo processor, 1GB 667 MHz DDR1 SDRAM memory.  It works fine but I can't get Thunderbird, Flash Player or Adobe reader to install -- it shows up on desktop as download but not App folder. Why?

    The downloads are probably .dmg files (disk images).  You would open the disk image (double-click it) to find the application or an installer.  If it's the application itself, you then drag the application to your Applications folder to "install" it.  If it's an installer, double-click the installer to run the installer that installs the application.
    NOTE:  If you iMac is Intel, it's not a PPC G5.

    Hi..............I have a new Creative Cloud registration and have bought the new Dreamweaver CC but I cannot seem to down load it? My Creative Cloud has downloaded but not my new Dreamweaver CC?  I currently have the old Dreamweaver CS4 on my system! Can anyone help?

    The first thing you need to do is download and install the Creative Cloud Desktop Application. Then, open that program and click on the Apps tab. You download and install creative cloud applications from there.
    If your computer doesn't meet the minimum requirements to run a given program, it won't show up under the Apps tab.
    Once they are installed, you'll need to go to your Applications folder (Mac) or Program Files (x86) folder (PC) to start the program itself.

  • Files show up in downloads but not in Finder

    Files showing up in downloads but not in Finder  I am running OS X 10.9.5 on my MacBook Pro.  I am having a problem with Finder being able to display all the files in folders, if any.  The files show up in downloads for instance but when I go to my downloads in Finder, the folders are empty.

    The screenshot doesn't show the downloads…
    It may also help to know what you are expecting to see in there - for example Application XXYY says I downloaded AABB, but I can't see AABB.
    Certain apps have their own settings for where to store files - more info needed.

    Success. I discovered the issue that was preventing QTSS start up.
    The IP Bind tab listed a set of new Class C IP addresses that ARIN forced us to move to last year and which had been properly configured into our network and I had checked the matching address shared in our new web server config.
    However /library/quicktimestreaming/config/streamingserver.xml had not exterminated the obsolete address and I pico'ed in the Terminal to replace these lines
    <LIST-PREF NAME="bindipaddr" >
    <VALUE>old ip</VALUE>
    <VALUE>new ip</VALUE>
    </LIST-PREF>
    with this line, which will now overide whatever's poking in the old ip, probably one of those pesky permanently-burned Net Info DB's that can't be purged despite the reality that servers sometimes need wholesale refreshes to be re-networked:
    <PREF NAME="bindipaddr" >new ip</PREF>

    Did you transfer the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder?
    Or did you only transfer /Muisic/iTunes/iTunes media? folder?

  • HT201210 My download for iOS 7 was interrupted, it has downloaded but not installed. it goes through routine Terms & Agreements and everything, but when i try to update it tries to verify the update then says that the update is not available.

    I dont understand, when i try to update it will go through routine apple stuff, then it it will say " Software Update Unavailable (under) Software Update is not available at this time. Try again later." The thing is that i was downloading it and my wi-fi had restarted for some unknown reason and it downloaded onto my phone but not installed. and at the moment it is really bothering me because I have waited a long time for iOS 7 and I am not being allowed to update my phone to it and i just wanted to know how to fix it. Thank you.

    I imagine a ton of people are attempting to download it right now. Simple patience, maybe keep trying, and if possible, try a little later. Think of it as all those people lining up at Apple Stores + about a million more.

  • Photos downloaded but not copied into iphoto

    I downloaded 92 photos from my camera to iphoto 7.1.5, the download finished, I deleted the original photos on the camera at the prompt to keep or delete originals, and iphoto then crashed.  When I restarted iphoto, the photos I'd just downloaded did not appear in iphoto.   The previous import shows up as the latest import.
    I called Apple's tech support and they told me that the download was completed and the photos copied before I got the prompt to "keep or delete originals".  However, they said the photos did not then get copied over from the folder into which they were copied to the last import folder.
    Steve at the tech support told me that I could either pay them $49 for tech support or I could go to the apple support communities and try to get help.  So, I'm hoping someone can tell me how to get access to my photos and copy them into the import folder in iphoto.
    Thanks to anyone who can help me solve this problem.

    Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
