Trouble loading new software

I just got this Macbook last month and have been having trouble installing some software. It's about 50% success ratio. The latest is a program called Kidpix 4. I managed to load it on my PC but I really bought it for my mac. When I load the CD the folder appears byt there is no install icon. I picked a couple of folders like initiate and setup.exe but all I get is a message that there is no designated application associated. This has happened with a couple of other programs, but I did load microsoft office for mac, so I'm wondering if it's my computer or the software?
macbook   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

Just in case you weren't clear about the distinction- New Macs, like the Macbook, are capable of running Mac OS and Windows but only Mac OS is installed by Apple. To run anything that requires Windows, you need to install your own copy of Windows XP-with either Parallels or Boot Camp-first.

    Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installation system requirements
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24950
    Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
    If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
    MB427Z/A  Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
    MB576Z/A  Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
    MB021Z/A  Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)

    Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard Installation and Setup Guide
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/leopard_install-setup.pdf
    After you install the base 10.5, download & install the 10.5.8 combo update at http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_8_Combo_Update
    The DVD should look like this
    Caution - Leopard does not support classic mode. So, if you currently open OS 9 apps in classic mode, you won't be able to do this if you upgrade to Leopard.

    iDevices are not and have never been backup devices.

    Media is only where the user puts it.

  • I'm having trouble loading new .pdf's into iBooks.

    I've been storing .pdf's in my iPad since version 1 and I love the organizational features (though I'd like to be able to edit name and author in the iPad).  Unfortunately, it has stopped loading new .pdf's smoothly.  I frequently have to click "open in iBooks" multiple times.  Sometimes it never makes it there at all.  Sometimes it shows up and then vanishes.  I've even been able to eMail it from iBooks between when it shows up and when it disappears.  I've tried restarting.  Please help.

    Back up all data.
    Quit Safari. 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 launch Safari and test.
    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.

    Update it from iTunes on a computer as described at the bottom of this article; devices running an iOS version prior to 5.0 can't be updated straight from the device. It will be updated to iOS 6.1.3 or 6.1.4 if supported by the device’s hardware.

  • Just got a new hard drive, trying to down load new software and it tells me there is not enough hard drive space to install

    I have a new hard drive on my Macbook.  I am trying to install a program from a disk.  I keep getting an error message that states I do not have enought free space on my HD.  My storage shows that I have plenty of space to install.  What do I need to do?  I do not have any photos, music or movies on my computer.  I haven't had time to reinstall any programs, so this is one program that I need to install and it won't let me install.

    That refers to the RAM you have installed. Must be 2 GBs or more.

  • I have loaded new software and iMessages does not appear to be working.  All messages appear as in delivered but they will send to the same address on my iPhone.

    I messages does not appear to be working on iPad every time I type a message it comes up as in delivered but I can type the same message on my iPhone and it works straight away

    MMS is a carrier issue... contact Verizon and ensure your account is provisioned correctly.  I would think that someone would be intelligent enough to do that before buying a new device, but......
    iMessage could be an activation issue or a network issue.
    Have you tried Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings?
    Does iMessage work consistently on Wi-Fi?

    Since you don't bother giving us any other information, like where you are, whether you cut your own sim, or who your carrier is, we can't really give you a better answer.
    There are known issues with cut SIMs and older micro-SIMs, especially outside of the US and Europe.

  • HT201210 erorr 1669 done every thing ? like turned on off down loaded new software!!!! help please

    help

    Hi, and thanks for you interest. The problems is that whether I'm using iMovie or FCE I get to a stage where the thumbnail image is present but if you try to play, import or any other action in either app it closes down and a message comes up " The Application Final Cut Express/iMovie quit unexpectedly - Mac OS X and other application are not affected" then asks if I wish to relaunch. I then hit the report to Apple button and afterwards relaunch. I was recommended to use Voltaic which I have tried, it worked but is to much mucking about for something that should work out of the box.
    This problem happens on both the iMAC and the MacBook so quite sure it's not a OS software issue. All software update are up to date also.
    Any ideas?

  • I have old IPad and down load new software. It completely distort my ITune set up. I use to have audio and video in the ITune, now it's separated audio and video in different category. And I can not set group or alphabetical tap to pull out video.

    If set them up in the group sush as; comedy,action,drama,ect. It would be nice.

    Greetings,
    I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
    At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
    The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
    I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
    You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
    Good Luck - Cheers,
    M.
