Trying to Install a plug-in and it keeps opening Terminal instead of Installer

When I go to the file and right click, I go to Get Info>Open With it says Terminal. That's not right and I know that but I don't know what is supposed to be there. Isn't it supposed to be some type of installer? There's a thread for Lion that says go to System/Library/Core Services/installer.app, well I have Mountain Lion and that isn't there, so any suggestions?
Please help!

Back up all data.
Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with networks that require any kind of authentication other than a WPA or WPA2 Personal password.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, follow the prompts to reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the boot volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.

    Hey schouten53,
    Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with the latest iTunes update. Let’s troubleshoot the iTunes installation by completely removing and reinstalling iTunes and all related components (it is important to remove all components in the order listed).

    Please repost in the Final Cut Pro forum. Have you considered upgrading your machine, if you are still running Leopard your machine may be as old as 5 years old. While this should not matter you probably won't get the performance you want out of a demanding app like FCP.
    Best of luck.

  • I am trying to install adobe 11.3 and adobe keeps quitting

    I am trying to install adobe 11.3 and adobe keeps unexpectantly quitting before the install is complete.

    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for Install problem in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it stll crashes installing...
    Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.

  • We tried to install Adobe Premiere Element and it keeps saying the E drive is empty.

    Adobe Premiere Elements 13.1 keeps saying the E drive is empty.  We got around it by changing the name to another letter.  Why did it do this?

    ireneo
    Please explain your question a bit further. Is the following your scenario?
    1. You installed Adobe Premiere Elements 13 (on what computer operating system?) Assumed from installation disc and to the default location on the Local Drive C.
    2. You are inserting your installation disc into the burner tray, the burner being the E drive? And, you get a message about empty E drive instead of the AutoPlay for
    you to click on to start the installation path?
    There is a known problem with Premiere Elements 13/13.1 where installation of this version generates a No Disc error. The fix for that is deleting or disabling the OldFilm.AEX
    file in the path
    Program Files
    Adobe
    Adobe Premiere Elements 13
    Plug-ins
    Common
    NewBlue
    and in the NewBlue Folder is the OldFilm.AEX file that you delete or disable by renaming it from OldFilm.AEX to OldFilm.AEXOLD.
    What type of Blu-ray DVD burner or DVD/CD burner was involved in this situation - internal or external?

  • I tried to install ios7 last night and the screen is now on itunes with the usb symbols  Plugged the ipod into the laptop where itunes is stored.  Tried to restore only to be advised that a 3194 error has occured  cannot get any further please help!!

    Hi. The two user tips both describe a sequence of steps that should get your library from the point where it threatens to wipe data from your device to where it is syncing normally, while recovering as much information as possible. It may still be necessary to wipe and reload the device but this should only take place once all the data that can be recovered has been recovered.
    Doing step 1 of 8 and then complaining things aren't the way you want them to be yet strikes me as premature...
    Since you appear to have all your media content, and we are discussing an iPod classic, not an iOS device, the main worries are already taken care of. What's left is ratings, playcounts, playlist membership and checked status. Since your device holds only part of your library at best you could only recover the missing data for the content that is on the device using third party tools.
    Recreating the previous checked/unchecked status of every track in your library from where you are now may not be that easy. Syncing with selected playlists has many advantages, one of which would have been that you would have a named playlist that could have been retrieved by 3rd party software if you had used this method.
    You haven't explained what caused your problem in the first place, but if you have a Previous iTunes Libraries folder holding old copies of your iTunes database (generated with each iTunes update) then it would be possible to restore the most recent of these and then update the library with any changes in your media folder.
    BTW Apple doesn't offer free support for this kind of issue with iTunes.

  • I have tried to install the new update and...

    I have tried to install the new update and i have lost everything on my phone and just asks to plug into itunes. I have finally downloaded the new update and I now have nothing on my phone no apps no nothing even tho it was restored from the back up i did yesterday? Any ideas how to resolve this without downloading everything again. I have the Iphone 4s 64GB which was full (so a LOT on there)

    What were you backing up to? Your computer or iCloud?  All of your apps and media should already be in the iTunes library on your computer. You should just be able to re-sync them if all else fails.

    hi i'm trying to install updates but Name and then the password I have for the account won't let me in. Is my name my email address?

    Updates do not normally require any kind of password access.  It is more likely your machine's security is asking for you to allow things to be updated.

    There is no serial number for CC Cloud versions. They are authenticated via your Adobe ID.

  • I am trying to install update on phone and it says computer timing out, how do I fix that

    I am trying to install update on phone and it says computer timing out, how do I fix that

    For me it worked when I switched the virus protection off while doing the installation. After you run the installation you then switch the virus protection back on.
    Hope it works for you too!
