Successfully downloaded a program, but will not run once installed.

I am not as Mac savvy as I should be so I apologize if my computer terminology is not up to snuff.
I have never had problems downloading programs, installing them, and running them in the past. The last successful program was Amazon MP3 Downloader. Today I attempted to download Plex. It downloaded successfully. I dragged the icon to my applications folder. When I went to click on the icon for the program to run, it appeared in the dock for a second (did not bounce at all) then disappeared. I tried the process a few more times and yielded the same results. I also tried to download a few other programs just to make sure it was not Plex in particular, and the same thing occurred. Any suggestions?

The same thing happened to my daughter on her Mac the other day. It turned out that the program she'd downloaded wasn't compatible with her OS. Did you make sure you'd downloaded a version that is compatible with Tiger?

ITunes installs but will not run post install in SERVER 2003

I have MS Server 2003 as my OS. I haven't used iTunes in a long time because I never got it to work on my computer. I downloaded anapod explorer and that has worked well for me, but I really would like to try iTunes again as I have several friends that tell me how wonderful it is.
Anyways, I install iTunes and it goes through the initial setup procedure, then will not actually show up. I see iTunes.exe in my task manager for about 10 seconds then it disappears. No error message, no nothing. I've tried new versions, old versions, standalone quicktime, deleting "ipod/apple" anything out of the registry. I've force-disabled DEP.
I'm a well seasoned windows user, not so much mac stuff, but I've been messing with this for 3+ hours now, and can't seem to get it to run.
Suggestions are appreciated, thanks.

I don't think your OS is on the list of supported operating systems, but still.
Does your Quicktime work? iTunes can't work without it and the fault seemed to relate to a Quicktime file.
Sometimes installing the stand alone QUicktime works.
First completely remove Quicktime using the method here: it is not for your OS but I expect you can adjust.
XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Vista
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
When you come to the system32 folder you can remove any file with Quicktime in the name.
There can also be problems with incompatible codec packs. If you have any of the following:
ACE & K-Lite mega codecs package, QT alternative, Storm codec, WinAVI video converter, Mpcstar, (possibly starcodec pack, 3ivx)
Uninstall them before installing the stand alone QUicktime.
Download the version of Quicktime that does not include iTunes from here:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
Note that it is not the default option.

Report runs fine from CR 2008 Developer, but will not run once published

I have BO RAS12 (version 12.3.0.601) installed on a Win2008 machine. This is the "backbone" for a proprietary Reporting Suite for a Lawson ERP system.
I have one report that takes awhile to generate due to the number of records and complex summaries and grouping.
This report runs fine in the CR Developer on the server, but once I publish it and try to view with data refresh, it throws an 'Internal Server Error'.
I don't think this is a timeout problem as it throws this error within 5 minutes of attempted generation. To make matters worse, nothing is logged anywhere when it fails.
I know that this doesn't give much to go on, but any ideas?

i had the problem quite often, since i always forgot to tag the UI capabilities of my transaction.
There are several problems with your transaction that COULD be the reason.
Make sure the gui for windows is tagged.
Then, if first what you show is a selection screen, make sure the transaction type is the right one "reporttransaction (Programm and selection screen)".

Program runs in win 7-64 Pro BUT will not run in win 7 home or vista.

Program runs in win 7-64 Pro BUT will not run in win 7 home or vista.
I'm testing 32bit software that will run in 7-64 Pro but will not in win 7 home premium or vista.
The 7-64 Pro machine is NOT running the program in XP mode although is is being run as admin. The 7 home premium and vista beta testers have tried every work around/mode, admin mode, and anti-virus exception. I've run process explorer & WinMerge to evaluate
the differences between os operations & dlls loaded but am unable to find the OS issue.
Currently 2-win7-64 machines, 1 vista machine and 1 win 7 machine had no issues with the program as it started up and ran immediately.
After 3 beta's 30 hours of testing & 50 of my own, I believe I've narrowed the issue down to the win 7 home premium and vista os's.
Can anyone here suggest other ways to further narrow it down so as to provide functionality on all 3 os's?

You must provide the exact name and version of the software for anyone to attempt to answer your question. Primarily the functionality of any software is entirely dependent on what platforms the publisher intended the software to run on.
If you are the programmer you need to go to the Microsoft Developer Network forums for assistance:

This is an End Users' Peer-to-Peer forum that does not address programming from any perspective.

I have recently purchased finale 2011, and it installs, but will not run? Any idea what the problem is?

I have recently purchased the finale 2011 music program, and it installs without any problems, but will not run when I try to start up the program. It acts like it is going to start, but stops when loading the plugins. I have been talking with Finale tech support for three days, and they are coming up empty, but they are still trying. Any ideas what the problem might be?
Thanks,
John

Try booting in Safe Mode (hold the shift key while booting until the grey progress bar appears).
If you're able to log-in, then re-boot and log-in

"Failed to install" | Creative Cloud Desktop : https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/failed-install-creative-cloud-desktop.html

The slide show runs in "live mode" but will not run from the browser.

Here is the link to the web page http://www.williamshomesteadranch.com/welldone.html
This is the first time that I've tried to use a widget and it looks good, but will not run fromthe browser.

The answer to the problem is very simple, the main images cannot be found. Please have a look at the following markup starting with line 305 or thereabouts:
      <ul id="ImageSlideShow" title="Jesse the Border Collie">
        <li><a href=Spry-UI-1.7/jackandjesse/jacksjesse251x270.jpg src="Spry-UI-1.7/jackandjesse/jacksjesse251x270.jpg" title="Jesse"><img src="Spry-UI-1.7/jackandjesse/jacksjessethumbnail.jpg" alt="photos-1.jpg" /></a></li>
        <li><a href=Spry-UI-1.7/jackandjesse/jackandjesseonbeach257x381.jpg src="Spry-UI-1.7/jackandjesse/jackandjesseonbeach257x381.jpg" title="Jesse and his Friend"><img src="Spry-UI-1.7/jackandjesse/jackandjesseonbeachthumbnail.jpg" alt="photos-2.jpg" /></a></li>
        <li><a href=Spry-UI-1.7/jackandjesse/jackjessesoccer251x378.jpg src="Spry-UI-1.7/jackandjesse/jackjessesoccer251x378.jpg" title="Jesse playing soccer with his friend"><img src="Spry-UI-1.7/jackandjesse/jackjessesoccerthumbnail.jpg" alt="photos-3.jpg" /></a></li>
        <li><a href=Spry-UI-1.7/jackandjesse/jackjesserestbeach365x246.jpg src="Spry-UI-1.7/jackandjesse/jackjesserestbeach365x246.jpg" title="Jesse and his Friend resting"><img src="Spry-UI-1.7/jackandjesse/jackjesserestbeachthumbnail.jpg" alt="photos-4.jpg" /></a></li>
        <li><a href=Spry-UI-1.7/jackandjesse/jackjessedwnbeach250x350.jpg src="Spry-UI-1.7/jackandjesse/jackjessedwnbeach250x350.jpg" title="A Walk down the Beach"><img src="Spry-UI-1.7/jackandjesse/jackjessedwnbeachthumbnail.jpg" alt="photos-5.jpg" /></a></li>
      </ul>
Now take a closer look at the first image.
The thumbnail is jacksjessethumbnail.jpg and, according to the markup, can be found at http://www.williamshomesteadranch.com/Spry-UI-1.7/jackandjesse/jacksjessethumbnail.jpg. Bless me, the thumnail is there. No problem here.
The main image is jacksjesse251x270.jpg and, according to the markup, can be found at http://www.williamshomesteadranch.com/Spry-UI-1.7/jackandjesse/jacksjesse251x270.jpg. Lo and behold, the image cannot be found. The problem must be here.
We can do the same analysis for each of the remaining images with the same result. This means that the main images have not been uploaded to the correct folder or that the path to the main image is incorrect.
Assuming that the path to the main image is correct, using DW, have a look in your local folder as follows
Then 1. single left click on the jackandjesse folder to highlight it, 2. click on the symchronise button, 3. make sure you have the correct selections in the Synchronize Files dialog and click on preview.
Then click on OK as per
and the files should be uploaded to the correct remote folder.

Windows 8.1 will not run my install CD for Photoshop 5.0. What can I do ?

Windows 8.1 will not run my install CD for Photoshop 5.0. What can I do ?

i'm not sure your expectations are realistic. ps 5 was designed for win95.
you can't fault adobe for failing to design ps 5 so it would be compatibile with an os that wasn't in existance when ps 5 was released.
to be sure, adobe did not warrant their software would work with all future operating systems. and no other software company can or does make such a claim.

How can I get Firefox 3.0 to work as a browser on my iBook G4 with OS10.3.9 so I can work my Hotmail email account? The download loads OK but will not open to a browser page when I double click on it. Tom.

Have been using Firefox 2.0 just fine for years. But now stupid Windows Live Hotmail has made it impossible for me to "use" my email, such as doing Bcs or Attaching something, or even typing new text in the message box. Hotmail tells me I have to update my Firefox browser. But updating to Firefox 3.0 due my OS system limits does not now allow me to open onto the internet even after a successful download of 3.0. Tom.

Firefox 3 will not run on OS X 10.3.9, it requires at least 10.4
Try one of these browsers to see if you can access Hotmail - [http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/seamonkey1.1.19/ SeaMonkey 1.1.19] or [http://caminobrowser.org/download/ Camino 1.6.11]

You can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com

Respecting to virus protection, OS X has got its own security systems, so you don't need any additional application. If you want more information > http://www.reedcorner.net/mmg
Finally, you are running OS X Mountain Lion, the most recent OS X update, and as you don't have any problem with it, leave this version and you will save headaches
