Why does my Mac keep trying to install EXCEL?

I am trying to use the XM Radio site(using Firefox), but I am being told that I need to download a plugin. I link on the Plug In & it is WIndows Media Player. So I go to the site via the link, and download the version for the Mac OS X. But when I try to install, it wants to install Excel!
And this is not the first item of software that has tried to do that. I do not now recall just which program I was trying to install but it also tried to install Excel.
I Dont Want Excel! I want to listen to my XM radio player.
What's the deal with Excel forcing itslef onto my computer!

Thank You! THANK YOU! thank you.
I installed Flip4Mac & it works just fine now.
I can't tell you why Excel is
being so assertive, but I suggest, as does Microsoft,
that you use the Flip4Mac plugin
for Quicktime for your Media Player needs. MS has
abandoned Media Player on the Mac!

Why does Creative Cloud keep trying to install to Drive C?

I have selected my F drive from the preferences for BOTH the installation and the file storage. But none of the apps will install to my 3 terabyte F drive because there's not enough room on C drive (it's a solid state with just enough room for Windows -- I don't install anything to C).
My CS5 Master Collection worked just fine this way. I wouldn't have spent the money on this but my school is using CS6 Adobe Premiere Pro and Audition for our documentaries. I only had CS4 Adobe Premiere in my CS5 (not sure what the deal was with that) and it had Soundbooth instead of Audition.

What is Listener.bundle? Why does my Mac keep asking to load it?

What is listener.bundle? Why does my Mac keep asking to load it?

Hi, Sk8erStan. I don't exactly know how/what your (or my) listener.bundle works/does, but for me, this became an issue when I downloaded the network scanning software "driver" for my Lexmark printer. Apparently this lets the Mac receive a request over wi-fi from the networked printer to set up, receive, and save a scan datafile. Essentially it lets the printer control the Mac. Which is OK and worked fine in my case .. EXCEPT every 5 or 10 minutes I get a pop-up alert asking me if I want to DENY or ALLOW my "listener bundle" app .. from listening. Really irritating and I have not yet figured out how to turn that off. If you have solved your problem, please post your solution and what you learned. Thanks.

Why does my phone keep trying to re-start and how do i resolve this issue? Without a system restore as I have not backed it up.

It happened about 20 minutes ago. It keeps on coming up with the revolving circle which it does when it shuts down from loss of battery but then keeps trying to re-start itself by displaying the apple icon. Help please.

Hello AshleyJacobs1,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Why does my Mac keep freezing with shortcuts in CS6?

Currently here's the situation
I'm on an OSX Lion machine (10.7.4) with 7GB of memory.
I have the following shortcuts in Illustrator:
Cmd +Shift + = : To export a file
Cmd +3 : Select the same fill color
Cmd + 4: Select the same stroke color
Cmd + . : Rotate
Cmd + , : Reflect an object
It doesn't matter which shortcut it is what will happen is that Illustrator and my Mac will freeze up not allowing me to force quit the program. This will happen randomly and the only way around it is to restart the mac and restore default preferences via Cmd + Option + Shift when opening the program.
I have tried re-installing the suite and it still happens, so I'm wondering is it the specific shortcuts I am using or is it the computer? I only ask because Illustrator has no issues when everything is defaulted, however when I add the shortcuts this issue will happen.
Thank you in advance.

Is it just these custom shortcuts that are crashing the machine, or any shortcut?
What did you do the the exisitng shorcuts, did you disabel them. (eg: CMD 3 is hide).
You may want to try using Fkeys instead for your custom shortcuts, you just want to check the :Usea ALL F1, F2, etc.

Why does my Mac keep telling me that there is not enough memory when I need to open Excel?

I have Excel installed on my iMac.
I only use this rarely, mostly when I have grants to write for my students.
When I try to open Excel, to look at an old document, I get the message that there is not enough memory, even though my Mac right now has 74 GB available.
I really, really, really need to access these files, so am hoping for an answer to this puzzle!
Thanks so much!!!

OK, so here's what I did.
First time, I reinstalled Office: 2008. It must have sent the first one to the trash, because there were 9200+files in the trash once it was finished. It looked for updates but didn't tell me that it needed any, so I tried to access Excel again, but got the same error message.
So, then I dragged the whole Microsoft Office 2008 to the trash (it is still sitting there----question about this, too). I reinstalled the whole thing again, but this time, it identified 3 updates that also needed to be installed. I did that, and now, I am able to open Excel!
Now my question about the trash: if I empty the trash, am I going to lose all the files (especially worried about all the Word documents) that I had used the original one for, or, are all those documents, and the Excel files, still there after the trash with the original Office 2008 is emptied; I wasn't able to only drag Excel to the trash so had to drag the whole thing.
Am thinking that somehow those updates were never applied, which is very puzzling, because the first time I reinstalled, it didn't say anything about needing updates, but the second time, it did.
Thank you!

Why does my computer keep trying to go to another server?

My macbook switched to another network when I close it. Why does it do this? I have not experienced this before. I have my own network server and each time I clost my macbook it goes to another server; to be exact it is optimum. I don't have that service at all.
Please help. I feel like something fishy is going on.....

What model is your Mac? Go to Apple > About This Mac > More Info.
It should either say something like "Early 2010 iMac" or "MacBook 5,2"

If yours is a 15" MacBook Pro 6,2, there is a recall program in place for it. It is described in this article:
TS4088- http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4088MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010): Intermittent black screen or loss of video
PRINT out a copy of the article as a hedge against "we never heard of this." Make an appointment at the genius bar. Do not leave until they have run the special VST test that ends in a remarkable PASSED or FAILED screen. [The typical "overnight bake" will not find this problem].
If failed and they refuse to accept it for repair under the program, the store manager may have additional latitude to help you. You MUST be polite and professional at all times. Apple wants you to be a happy customer. Folks who shout and threaten to sue everyone will never be a happy customer, so all they get is to be shown the door.

I must be doing something wrong?

Check System Preferences Mouse pane (or Trackpad pane). For the Mouse pane, make sure the Primary mouse button is set for the one on the left.
The Control key toggles the "right-click" with the primary button, when the Control key is pressed down while clicking the primary mouse button (or on a Magic Trackpad). So make sure you are not pressing the Control key inadvertently.
Also, if you are using a Magic Trackpad (separate or on a MacBook), the botton portion (along the edge closest to you) is sensitive to clicking on the right side versus left side. The rest of the trackpad is not. So, if you are clicking near that edge closest to you, a click on the right side will be a right-click. It is designed this way, because some people use their thumb along that edge to click (not their "pointing" finger); on old-school trackpads, physical buttons were located there. So, you can still point with the index finger and click with the thumb on the right or left "button." You should be able to adjust this behavior in System Preferences Trackpad pane.

Why does my Mac keep freezing and applications not responding?!?

Hello everyone, I have a mid 2009 MacBook Pro, 500gb HD, 4gb ram. The problem is that it keeps freezing. I am writing this on my iPhone because my laptop would probably just freeze up if I even attempted to open an application. The problem is that my laptop won't stop freezing up. As soon as I have any application open, it will stop being responsive, give me the beach ball spinning wheel thing, and I'll use command-option-escape to open the force quit menu (because at this point the mouse usually can me moved around the screen but just makes the system get worse) to force quit what ever applications I have open. Then finder will stop responding, and then nothing will work until I do a forced shut down (hold the power button down) and turn it back on again, where the same thing happens within a minute. I tried repairing permissions and doing a P RAM reset, but have had no success with either. Please help, this is ridiculous, I can barely use my laptop and I need it for school. Thanks,
-Dylan

Your issue sounds like the hard drive is failing or it was bumped or moved while it was operating and corrupted the data on the drive.

Why does my mac keep crashing?

My mac has started to crash unexpectedly.....it does this when carrying out different tasks but mainly in safari as thats usually what im using....
I cant watch video content or facetime for more than a minute without it crashing and i cant work it out!!
- I've run the apple hardware test and no troubles were found
- I've reseated the RAM and carried out third party tests on that
- I've followed various guides on the net to work out what the problems are like running in safe boot (which doesnt seem to crash) etc but dont seem to find what the problem is
Here is an extract from the system log before a two crashes:

Please help!
I can post other kernel logs etc if that helps...

You need to determine if it's a hardware issue or software. So, try booting from your Leopard installer disk, run Disk Utility and Repair Disk. Report back. Also, how much free space have you on your hard drive?

Why does my Mac keep crashing/freezing?

I've tried to troubleshoot this before. I've backed everything up on Timemachine, did an Erase/Install. Purchased MacKeeper. I restarted computer pressing shift key, then restarted computer to clear out any accumulated junk files. I've been running Virus Barrier for more than a year, and all filters are up to date.
But it's getting WORSE! It used to happen once a day...today it happened 3 times. I thought it might be related to Chrome, but this morning, all I had open was Mail...
This is what happens:
In whatever application I'm in, usually Chrome, after some action, sometimes just loading page, the rainbow time spinning wheel appears. Spotify stops playing music (though there is not window warning that I've gone offline or anything like that); I wait, wheel keeps going, I clicked on other open applications, they appear fine, go back to application with spinning wheel. I open force quit; I force quit application, it appears to quit, but then everything becomes unresponsive. Eventually I try to force quit all other applications, they appear to close, but don't really, then Finder becomes unresponsive, I try to Relaunch Finder, until I only can stare at empty desktop. The only thing that works is pressing button at back of computer to force it to shut down and restart.
From past personal experience both at work and at home (am a designer, so always use Macs)...a computer that keeps crashing this way, eventually becomes damaged and has to be brought to store for repairs. This computer is only 2yrs old, and problems worsened after its second birthday (April 21st)
What is going on?!

Why does Adobe Flash keep trying to uninstall?

Sometimes when I go to a random web page (today I was on Macrumors), adobe flash player opens a window
asking if I want to "proceed with uninstallation". I'm really confused... is this a virus or something? It's happened
periodically when I go to various different sites, always popping up with the same window and trying to uninstall.
Is there some solution to this?

Go here and install Flash regardless if you need it or not.
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
If the problem continues, you may have the FlashBlock trojan installed download the free ClamXav and run a scan, keep running one every other day.
Right now it's new and not everyone has a line on it yet to make a up a definition.
Apple will of course update the safe downloads, perhaps provide info how to remove it
What it sounds like is when you visit a web page with Flash, something installed is trying to get you to remove it, like prankware.
I suspect you could have picked this up at a Mac site like MacRumors...someone with a grudge again our most cherished and loved Abode Flash!
Where would the wonderful World Wide Web be without it?

Why does my Mac keep trying to install EXCEL?
