Unable to open any downloaded applications

When I download a new application - today I downloaded iTunes and Quicktime - I get a dmg image, I double click on the image and I get mpkg. Double clicking on that file causes the installer app to start to open but then it immediately closes. The result is that I'm unable to open any app downloads. I've tried both Safari and Firefox and get the same result. I set up a new account and gave it Admin permissions; same result. Thoughts?

10.4.11 seems like a bit of a disaster! At least I can boot up, but the computer seems to have difficulty with one of the internal hard drives, and will no longer sleep. Any attempt at getting it to sleep causes the second drive to disappear on rebooting; fortunately after some 10 mins it finally reappears. Not sure whether to wait for 10.4.12, or try to go back to 10.4.10, which was running fine.

    Unable to open any books from iBooks app after downloading new 7

    Hi, Cargei. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    I would first start with closing all applications in multitasking and power cycling the device.  Test opening a downloaded book in iBooks
    iOS: Force an app to close

    If the issue persists, try downloading a free iBook and test to see if it opens. 
    Cheers,

  • Unable to open any applications in administrator account

    My OS is 10.6.2. Just tonight, I was unable to open any applications in my administrator account (Safari, iCal, iTunes, calculator, system preferences, etc.). In other words, I can't do anything while logged into my administrator account. However, everything works fine if I log into the guest account. Any suggestions? I have restarted my computer and that did not help.

    What happens when you try to launch applications? Do you see error messages?
    Check the behavior in Safe Mode by restarting the computer with the Shift key held down. Booting will take a while longer--this is normal, so just be patient.

    What version of iPhoto do you have installed?  Is if one of the versions shown as not compatible in this screenshot?
    If it is then go to the App Store and download iPhoto 9.5.  It will be free if you have an iPhoto 9 or later verson currently.

    Hi folks i'm unable to open any programs in ABAP Editor.
    When ever i try to open any program it goes to short dump.
    Even when i try to open STO4 to view error log.
    it shows following message
    Short text

    What happened?
        Error in the ABAP Application Program

        Unfortunately, the system cannot carry out a detailed analysis of the

  • HT2506 Hello I'm unable to open any pdf's with preview window opens up with message file couldn't be opened because you don't have permission to view it (none of the pdf's have any security thanks if you can assist

    Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
    Triple-click the following line to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    { sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not  going to reset a password.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

    According to your User Agent you posted this question using Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 8.1. Are you having a problem with Firefox? What Firefox version?
    You said you are having a problem opening PDF files on your system. Can you explain that better? Mozilla Support can help you with opening PDF files in Firefox, which uses a built-in PDF reader. Maybe one of these articles will help?

    I am unable to open my downloaded library books in ADE.  I have a Mac running Snow Leopard and want to transfer the books to a Kobo reader.  Was able to load books perfectly until recently.  I have tried trashing ADE and re-installing but have received the message that the version of ADE will not run with my current operating system.  Tried resetting the Kobo reader and thought maybe it was not authorized but it appears in ADE when I plug it in.  Any help would be greatly appreciated - getting very frustrated!

  • I am unable to open any programs on my iPad

    I am unable to open any programs on my iPad, although it is running the most recent update.  Every program or app that I try to open leads to a blank screen and a return to the main page.  The battery is charged and everything is updated, and I have no idea what to do next.

    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    If only your downloaded apps will not launch - download another app - any free app will work.

  • Adobe x unable to open any pdf, or change properties

    Just had an update to Adobe reader x and now I am unable to open any pdf email attachments, any saved older pdfs on local or network drive.  Followed a thread on here from last fall, and attempted to open the properties of the reader, but this caused a run-time error and crashed the program completely.  Update of the program was difficult, as I could not get the adobe website to work with MS IE.  and ended up loading Firefox to get the download.
    System is Windows XP professional, SP3, 2gb RAM, and working flawlessly prior to the update.
    any current ideas of repair or patch without rolling back or going to alternate pdf readers?

    Try disabling Protected Mode (see Pat's response here: Anyone having problems with the Acrobat Reader 11.0.9 update on Win7 X64?) and see if that helps...
