Trying to open a .pkg file

I'm trying to open a .pkg file but it won't open and I don't have the apple installer. Where can I find it, or are there any other solutions?

The latest pkg files are compressed and you need Pacifist to view their contents. If you don't have the installer app, you have a hosed installation and should reinstall the OS. The installer app resides in /System/Library/CoreServices/.

    Student_245,
    are you certain that you’ve completely downloaded the .pkg file — that the download didn’t end prematurely?

  • LookoutDirect crashes when trying to open older .lks file

    I am providing a new WinXP Pro SP3 PC with LookoutDirect v4.5.1 (build19) to upgrade/replace and older lookout system at a water treatment plant.
    Being my first Lookout system I worked through the tutorials and everything worked great.
    I then tried to open the .l4p file that I had copied from the existing system.
    Lookout gave a message stating "The file C:\....l4p was created by an older version of Lookout. Please recompile it by opening the source file....lks"
    I then try to open the existing .lks file and Lookout crashes. I get the standard Windows "Send Error Report" screen. The details say that the crashed Application is cbl.exe.
    Details:
    Finally I get a message that says "Cannot open specified file!"
    Is there any way to repair the file? It may be possible that the existing system was NI Lookout and not LookoutDirect. Does anyone know if there is a restore path for the project?
    Is it possible that I didn't correctly back up the existing project?
    Thanks!
    Nick

    That can complicate things 
    I only have back to Lookout 5.1 in my library.  However, a few examples on NI are for Lookout 4.0:

    I have design standard with creative cloud, I have installed this on 2 computers, my office and home which I was told was allowed, I have just tried to open an indesign file from the office at home and and error message said that this was created with a newer version? they are the same versions and both are up to date, I was asked this morning to put in my adobe id email and password to connect to CC which I have never been asked to do before, can anyone help?

    what's your home version (click help>about) and was that just a warning so you were able to open the file?

  • I get the following error when trying to open a pdf file... '*pdf.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read"

    I get the following error when trying to open a pdf file... '*pdf.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read". I am able to open pdf files in IE and other programs.

    I am encountering the same problem -- though with .qfx files from my bank. This worked fine in Firefox 31 ESR, but since upgrading to Firefox 33.0, I get the "<name>.qfx.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read" when I attempt to download. (I should add that downloading PDF statements from the same site works fine, and that the qfx downloads work fine in IE and Chrome.)
    I tried safe mode, it is still broken. Tried v34 beta, no luck. I reverted to version 31, it works again.
    I guess I will stick with the older version until a solution is found...or just use an alternate browser to download my financial data.

  • I get an error when trying to open certain PDF files in Lion on Mac.

    I am having trouble opening CERTAIN .PDF files on my MacBook Pro. I am running Lion. The file is attached to a Gmail message as a standard .PDF file.
    This is my error:
    "File "XX" cannot be opened. It may be damaged or use a file format Preview does not recognize."
    I have also downloaded Adobe X reader to see if the compatibility issue is just with Preview. I get an error that the file is "damaged" and cannot be recovered. Meanwhile, the file downloads/opens just fine on Windows XP Office and iOS (on my iPad). So I am thinking that it must be some sort of compatibility issue with Lion.
    So far, other .PDF files open on my MB Pro. I haven't tried all of my saved .PDF files, but I did try a couple.
    Anybody have any suggestions? There seems to be an error with this particular file opening in Lion, but not with the same file opening on another operating system.

    The issue mysteriously resolved itself. I shut down the computer, and the next day I booted back up and tried to open the same file, and everything was OK. Very bizarre, since I had opened it previously on this same MacBook. Anyway, anyone have any insight into what happened?

    Hi,
    The D810 requires Camera Raw 8.6 or later - the latest version that is compatible with Photoshop Elements 12 is Camera Raw 8.5 as far as I can see.
    You need to either buy a new version of Photoshop Elements or use the free Adobe DNG converter.

    I shoot with a Canon 7D, have Windows 7 installed on my computer, Adobe CS4 (Bridge & Photoshop). I'm trying to open the CR2 files in Bridge to adjust them before I open them up in Photoshop, but it's giving me an error code saying it's the wrong file type. I downloaded the latest updates for Adobe Raw as well as the DNG converter, however I don't want to have to convert to DNG before opening in Bridge. Please let me know what I can do to open the CR2 files directly in Bridge CS4, thank you!

    Make sure you have the right version...

  • Acrobat 9 tries to open all .zip files

    Acrobat 9 tries to open all zip files I attempt to download - not just zipped PDF's. Under folder management, the zip file type is not associated with Acrobat and is not showing with a PDF icon. The zip file will not open in any unzipping program, it just goes to Acrobat.
    When I download any zip file I get a message like this:
    Acrobat could not open "somefilename.zip" because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged.
    This happens with every zip file - how do I disassociate Acrobat from all zip file types?

    You need to change the file type association in Windows Explorer of the Folders Control Panel.
    The easiest way would to use Windows Explorer to find a file with the ".ZIP" file extension and then use the right mouse click to bring up the context menu. You can then select the "Open With..." option, make sure you check the option to set the 'always associate' (it is the only option) and then find WinZip, PKZip, RAR, or what ever program you use to open the "ZIP" type file.

  • I´m trying to open an excel file in numbers not being successful. The error msg is unexpectedly error using plugin SFCompatibility can you help me?

    I´m trying to open an excel file in numbers not being successful. The error msg is unexpectedly error using plugin SFCompatibility can you help me? Already changed the extension of the excel document to xlsx an now gives an unknown import error.

    In Excel have you tried saving directly to xls (not xlsx) and opening the xls in Numbers?
    If you have a complicated workbook in Excel that uses lots of Excel's advanced features, Numbers may not be able to handle the import.  It does pretty well on basic things, though.
    If you're just trying to get data into Numbers, then often copy-paste from Excel is easier than trying to open xls files.

  • Photoshop CS3 locks up when trying to open an EPS file

    Hello everyone. I have a problem with CS3 locking up when trying to open an EPS file. The files were created in Quark 4.0. Not sure if it has anything to do with my new computer, which has Microsoft XP 64 bit. There's another computer in my office which has CS4 that can open these files. Please help..!! Thank you.

    Try installing a PostScript printer on your XP64 system. For some reason this often seems to fix issues with EPS handling...
