Trouble with install of Thunderbird

I downloaded mozilla Thunderbird;
clicked on the "dmg" (disk image compressed) file
which creates a "disk image icon";
clicked on the icon to install.
I got thunderbird to come up, but after rebooting, I had to "install" again.
So I read in "The Missing Manual for Leopard"book to drag the thunderbird icon into the applications folder; this will really "install" it. But after restarting, I get the same thing. Only now at least I don't get the license screen.
Here's what I get. Before shutting down, I have thunderbird running; I go to the Dock and select the icon to make it persist; and I "eject" the desktop thunderbird disk image icon (because the book said I don't need it).
When I restart, Thunderbird icon is correctly in my Dock and there is no disk image icon on the desktop. However, as soon as I click on the thunderbird icon, the disk image icon appears and a little disk image window appears along with thunderbird.
*How do I get rid of this?* I just want thunderbird - no disk image icons or windows etc.
Thanks in advance.

Sorry. I'll try to be more careful. I was a little confused about where to post it. There were categories for apple specific software products, I kind of thought I'd see a category for "third party software". Or a few categories for third party software (mozilla products, etc).
Since, I am in the process of switching from PC to mac, that seemed to fit the description of the "Windows Compatibility" category ...
"Here you can ask questions about how to integrate a Macintosh into a Microsoft Windows environment or how to make the switch to a Macintosh."
But now I know better.

I'm having trouble with installing a 8g kit in my late 2009 mac mini. when the parts are installed all i get is a beeping sound, is there any way to get around this?

i'm having trouble with installing a 8g kit in my late 2009 mac mini. when the parts are installed all i get is a beeping sound, is there any way to get around this?

What is the source & link to this 8 GB kit please?
Can you count the beeps or flashes?
1 beep = no RAM installed
2 beeps = incompatible RAM types
3 beeps = no good banks
4 beeps = no good boot images in the boot ROM (and/or bad sys config block)
5 beeps = processor is not usable
In addition to the beeps, on some computers the power LED will flash a corresponding number of times plus one. The LED will repeat the sequence after approximately a 5-second pause. The tones are only played once.
Note: In this case, a flash is considered to be 1/4 second or 250 ms or greater in length.

Trouble with install disks - is it OK to make a copy of them?

Finally, I am trying to make a copy of the install disks that came with my MBP. This was recommended in several threads for preserving the original and having backups just in case.
I used Disk Utility to make a disk image - choosing DVD/CD master, no encryption - as I was instructed on another thread. I made the disk images fine of the 2 disks - they are now saved as disk images in the .cdr format. While I was at it, I made a disk image of the TechTool Deluxe CD that came with my AppleCare.
When I inserted a CD (and then I tried a DVD) into the slot to Burn the disk image of the first (and then the second) install disk, I got the message that there is not enough room on the disk I am trying to use (for either disk). I had no trouble burning a disk of the TechTool Deluxe - I did that on a CD.
When I go to Get Info for the disk image for the 2 install disks, it looks like each is no larger than 5 plus GB, which seems strange.
What am I doing wrong?
Mrs H

When you make images of the discs, it is compressed. So when you get info of the image, that is smaller than the actual disc size. You said disc two was 3.97gb but really uncompressed it is likely over 6GB. For both install discs one and two, you need dual-layer DVDs to burn.
Thanks for your help, mdpeterman.
I wondered about the compressed issue - but since I chose CD/DVD master, (from Disk Utility Help: "If you want to use the disk image with a third-party application, choose CD/DVD master. The disk image contains a copy of all sectors of the disk, whether they're used or not, and copies them to other CDs or DVDs bit for bit") with no encryption I assumed that the size of the disk image was identical to the original.
What you say tells me I'm wrong - that even with DVD master bit for bit, the image is compressed. Right?
I'll get back to you when I have solved this...

[SOLVED] Trouble with Install that I've never seen before (Gnucash)

Hello all! I am rather new to Arch. I came over from Windows (disgruntled up to Win 7). When I first came over to Linux I did so via Ubuntu (12.04 and 13.10) and Mint (16). Seeing that Ubuntu would love to eventually sell us all out I decided to give Arch a try and LOVED IT! The install went smoothly and almost every program that I have needed has installed flawlessly..That is with the exception of Gnucash. I do a lot of freelance bookkeeping work and Gnucash is most definitely the best program I have found out there (even when I was using Windows). I have tried to install from BOTH the official repository and the AUR with no luck. I am using a 64 bit install of Arch on a Dell Inspiron 1440. All of my packages and repositories have been updated through pacman -Syu and -Syy. Below is the results message that I receive when trying to install from EITHER repository (AUR version is what I have posted). It shows that there appear to be two corrupt packages. If any of you can guide me in the right direction as to how to possibly rectify my trouble I would be most appreciative. (Also: if I am posting this in the wrong area please let me know where the better place would be.)

Troubles with installing quicktime : macbook being h e ll !

Hello everybody,
first, i would like to apologize for my bad english, i'm french and i don't speak very well english.
Il will try to explain my trouble :
I'm the owner of a macbook ( MAC OS 10.6 ) for more than four years.
I try to upgrade Quicktime Player, because when i tried to watch movies with it, i got a error message : " You have to upgrade Quick Time, etc " and i folow the link :http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/ and i downloaded it and installed on my computer. It asked me to reboot. I did it. And H e ll was coming on my poor Macbook :
- about five minutes to boot,
- Icons on the desk don't appear
- impossible to launch any process like i-tunes, firefox, teamspeack...
- options of the high menu are disables ( finder, time, wi-fi, bluetooth)
- i can't shut off the macbook normally. I have to force it.
I take a (bad) picture :
I tried to press APPLE-S at the start and used the fsck -fy function, i get :
FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED
After three others trys, i get :
" The volume Macintosh HD appears to be OK. "
I type : " reboot " but it's the same like usual = doesn't work.
I tried to press APPLE shift at the start, nothing changes.
My DVD-reader is broken, i can't ' format ' or reaload Mac OS 10.6, so i'm asking for a solution.
I thank you for any help you could bring to me, and i apologize for my bad english,
cordialy,
Baacha.

Hi,
i can go to the Disk Utility with hard freeze ( and some icons don't appear ) but when i double click on Disk Utility, nothing happens.

Trouble with installing/uninstalling illustrator and cloud manager

I first was having trouble installing adobe illustrator CC trial. It kept having errors. I did what they suggested and now I cannot even install the creative manager. Now it will not even allow me to uninstall adobe illustrator (even though it never fully downloaded to begin with, it still shows up on control panel) I ran the adobe cloud cleaner multiple times, trying different settings and some of the times it says it had an error. Adobe illustrator doesn't even appear to exist on my computer other than being listed in control panel, yet I still can't get rid of it. I've restarted my computer. I've even tried downloading the trial from a different site and it would not work. Can anyone please help me?
Thank you so much!

Having trouble with installing updates

Trouble With installing Snow Leopard on my 4 year old Macbook

I'm trying to install Snow Leopard to my 4 year old Macbook stuck on 10.5.8, but it keeps saying "The application 'Install Mac OS X' cannot be used from this volume." I've tried almost everything to solve this, but I can't find anything at really helps my situation. I've looked on some of these discussions, and they haven't really helped much. My Macbook has a: 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM, and is stuck on OS X 10.5.8. Please give me your input and help

Are you using a Retail version of Snow Leopard that looks like this?
Or gray discs that look like this?
The gray discs are machine specific and will only work with the MacBooks that they were shipped with.

Trouble with installing 10.5 from an external firewire drive

I have a family pack of 10.5 and installed it just fine on my macbook. But, I'm having trouble getting my imac DVD player to read the DVD. It just spins and spits it out, and spins and spits it out. The imac is not covered under applecare so spending money to get the DVD drive fixed (which I barely use) is not something I want to do right now.
Anyway, I followed instructions on a this website to install 10.5 from an external firewire drive. (http://iuseapple.com/blog/apple-how-to/advanced-os-x/2007/10/29/how-to-install-l eopard-from-external-firewire-hard-drive/)
But I get stuck and am not able to actually get my imac to boot from the installer. Basically, I am able to use disk utility to create a copy of the disk image on my macbook. That resulting file ends in ".cdr" and it mounts when I double click it.
And I partitioned my firewire hard drive without problems.
I think I'm messing up when it comes to doing the restore. If I try to drag the .dmg mounted file in to the "source" it doesn't work (is greyed out). If I try to drag the mounted .dmg there than it works, but I get an error when I click "restore" (something about scans and images not being found). I tried physically copying the .dmg file onto the partition, but then when I plugged the HD into my imac, I wasn't able to get the imac to boot from the installer.
What am I doing wrong? If someone could walk me through these last steps I'd appreciate it!

Okay I finally got around to creating the bootable disk image of 10.5 using Carbon Copy Cloner. Still my iMac is not booting from the firewire drive!
Here's a recap of everything I've tried. I'm at a complete loss now!
- I partitioned the HD into 2 partitions-- a 10gig one for the 10.5 install, the then the rest for Time Machine. I make the partition in Disk Utility on my MacBook.
- I've partitioned the drive a few times-- always partitioning it in APM format (b/c it needs to boot my non-intel iMac).
- I've created the disk image using "restore" in disk utility. I've again tried this a few times.
- I am able to boot my MacBook from the disk image I create! So I know the FW drive is able to be used to boot from!
- Here's what I've tried in terms of getting the iMac to boot from the FW drive. It always just boots to my internal drive instead. Sometimes I briefly see a folder and question mark. I've tried all 3 FW ports. I've selected the install partition at start up in preferences. I've also held down the option key at start up (only my internal drive shows) and I've held down command-option-shift-delete and again I get the question mark and it boots to my internal drive.
- And I installed Carbon Copy Cloner and made the disk image that way on my macbook. Still, I tried everything and the iMac is not able to boot from the firewire drive!
Since my DVD drive is broken, this is the only way for me to install 10.5! Help!

Having trouble with Installing itunes on web site

Can someone help with this issue. I have tried installing itunes thru
www.apple.com/ipod/start
I download the program via the 'run' option and it begins to load in the temp file location. It starts to transfer until 77% (always) and then doesn't continue although the function is running. After 20 minutes the message pops up that the process time out. There is no error message. Does anyone know what would cause this?
Thanks for any help

I had the same problem, and whether you run or save when downloading it would stop at 76%. After 2 days of defragging, updating virus software, checking my registry and everything else I can think of I finally called support. Go to www.filehippo.com and download itunes from there.

I have tried many different things like allowing arch to manually partition the ssd, using ssd as home instead of root to no avail. Only thing I have not tried is adding a 1 mb partition to the beginning of ssd marked as ef02 as per the Arch SSD wiki. If anyone with this same ssd and firmware can chime to let me know if they had the same issue I would appreciate it. I do not have this problem with other distros. Ubuntu, Linux Mint, and LMDE have all installed fine on the ssd. Sorry if this is the wrong section for this.
Edit. Looks like I found out the problem. It was having quit boot enabled in the bios. I suppose I need to look into initreadahead if I want arch and my computer to play nice with that setting.

Check whether grub-install belongs to grub package or grub2 package. Try to install these updated grub2 packages from here
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9710721/skodabe … pkg.tar.xz - for x86_64
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9710721/skodabe … pkg.tar.xz - for i686
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9710721/skodabe … pkg.tar.xz - any arch
and then follow the post_install instructions from grub2-bios package.
You might have to 'bind' mount /dev into your <chroot>/dev though or install the above packages and install grub2 from outside the chroot.

Trouble with Installing Empire: Total War; downloaded from Best Buy Pc app

Hello,
I have had troubles downloading and installing Empire: Total War. At first, I coudn't download it but I now have figured it out. I checked today after work and it successfully downloaded. The trouble now is that I have the files but can't seem to install them. I pressed the "install manually" button within the Pc app but nothing happened. Help would be appreciated!

Hi mhviking25,
You should be able to locate the game data files here:
C:\Users\ [User Name] \AppData\Local\Best Buy pc app\DigitalShelf\ [Your Game folder]
In that folder there is likely an executable install file (.exe) that you could try. If it's not there or that install method doesn't work, there may have been a problem during the download process and you'll want to try a re-download. I know that not ideal as you ran into issues trying to download it the first time but hopefully it doesn't come to that.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Troubles with installing/upgrading OS 9.1 to 9.2 on second drive

Hi - I have an older G4 450mhz sawtooth unit. It came with
Panther on the main drive. I upgraded to Tiger, added a
new DVD superdrive, Scsi card, ATI Radeon 8500 vid card
and just put in a second HD. I decided to install OS 9.1
on the 2nd drive so I dual boot and run my old programs and
or use Classic thru Tiger. I have tried updated OS 9.1 to
9.2 and succeeded with the install but now it locks up at
the Apple setup assistant. I can move the cursor but can't
click or change anything. When I turn off the extensions
and restart it will let me change extensions, etc but I can't do anything really, no dvd drive but it lets me use
the mouse and keyboard. I added new keyboard/ mouse that
came from a G5. Could it be these peripherals? Any ideas
which extensions are causing the problems? Thanks -Jon

Hi, Jon -
First, boot with Extensions Off (with Shift held down).
Then look in the Extensions folder for a file named PrefRestoreInit - if you find it, throw it away.
Also, look in the Startup Items folder (in System Folder) for an alias named Mac OS Setup Assistant. If you find that, then throw it away.
Now try a normal restart into OS 9.2.1.
I have tried updated OS 9.1 to 9.2....
I assumed you mean update to OS 9.2.1 via download update, since there is no update to OS 9.2 that is applicable for your machine. Is this correct?
The distinctions between the three possible OS 9.2.x's are important.
OS 9.2 (technically, OS 9.2.0, I suppose, though it is not noted that way) is a model-specific version that came with the original G4 QuickSilver machines, and perhaps other models released about the same time.
OS 9.2.1 is available several ways - as a download update, for installation on top of OS 9.1; as a retail OS 9.2.1 Install CD (full-install, for any model supported for that version); and as a model-specific full-install version that came with some models.
OS 9.2.2 is available only two ways - as a download update, for installation on top of OS 9.2.1; and as a model-specific full-install version that came with some models.
