Why does the .dmg file for newest version always download as corrupted?

When I try to download the newest version of Firefox I do not get the window where you are to drag the Firefox icon into the applications folder. When I try to manually open the dmg file I get a dialog box saying the image is corrupted.

What version of OS X are you using?
If you have OS X 10.3.9 or earlier, the last version of Firefox that works is Firefox 2.0.0.20, if you try to install a more recent version you get the message about a corrupt download.

  • When i try to open dmg file for newest version of itunes, my mac pro does not open to install and freezes my main desktop toolbar so i can't select the apple to shut down, it also enables me to open any other programs?HELP PLEASE

    i've been forced by my comp to shut down several times by holding the power button because of the inability to select the apple and shut down correctly..idk if i got a rare mac virus or bug.. and some programs simply won't open when clicked on.. i don't know how this is possible after years of great performance..

    Where did you get this "dmg file"? To install the newest version of any Apple software, including iTunes, all you have to do is use Software Update from the Apple menu. This doesn't download any dmg, it automatically installs the software for you.
    Maybe try repairing your permissions from Disk Utility (in your Utilities folder).
    Also - What version of OS X do you have? Please update your forum profile so we can help you better.

  • Why doesn't flash player stay installed and why does the saved file disappear.

    Why doesn't flash player stay installed and why does the saved file disappear.  I have downloaded and installed flash player several times on my Win7 Vaio laptop. I have uninstalled and deleted all versions.  I am the administrator and I have also turned off my Security Software, but the same thing keeps happening over and over.  The Java Script is enabled and I have tried both downloading via IE and firefox.  It is rediculous that it keeps disappearing and I keep getting messages that the newest version is needed.  I am downloading directly from adobe and they say it is the latest.  Getting very frustrated.  They ask if we have any problems when we go to the finish line, but there is no place for comments.  I guess they don't really care if it works or not.

    So is it actually installed, or is it not?  If not, download and run the offline installers:
    Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
    Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
    If it still does not work correctly, check

    In Firefox also check if the Shockwave Flash plugin is enabled.

  • Why is the Master File names as Version?

    When I import a file into a new project and apply an adjustment a new 'version 2' is automatically generated. This is correct. But why does the system name the original Master (which remains unchanged) as 'Version 2' and shows the adjusted file as the master?

  • Why is the DMG files opening instead of downloading in my Safari?

    I don't know if I messed up the setup or anything. But my safari just keep opening DMG files instead of downloading. On my iMac, I don't have the problem, but on this MacBook, it has. And it is very troubling. If the applications need update, I click the update button in the app, and it directly linked to the dmg file, and I really need safari to download it for me!!!
    Please help! Thanks!!

    HI,
    From the Safari Menu Bar click Safari/Preferences then select the General tab.
    Make sure: Open "safe" files after downloading is deselected.
    Relaunch Safari. If that didn't make a difference, go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari and move the cache.db file to the Trash.
    Relaunch Safari.

  • Where can I find the dmg files for CC apps?

    Is there a place to download all the CC apps as a dmg file like you could with the CS6 apps? I know you used to be able to download the trial of CS6 as a dmg, but I can't find anything like that now. I have a slower connected at my house and wanted to download them at the office for my home computer. Thanks.

    You cannot donwlad the DMG files but you as acces you subscription anywhere.  You just need to loginto the application and start the download and install. 

  • Why does the Fireworks save for web function give better results than in Photoshop?

    Having used the trial version of Fireworks, I have noticed that the save for web function gives greater compression and image quality than saving for web in Photoshop. Why is this?
    As Adobe are not continuing in developing Fireworks, does anyone know if will they will improve the save for web function in Photoshop to match the Fireworks version?
    Are there any third party companies who anyone can recommend who will process large volumes of images for web?
    Thanks

    One of my favourite topics ;-P
    First, the save for web function in Photoshop has not seen any real updates in a long time. In Fireworks PNG export allows for fully transparent optimized files with indexed 256 or less colours, which is impossible in the save for web function in Photohop. It is unsupported.
    This is one of the reasons why Fireworks does a much better job than Photoshop. Another reason is that Photoshop adds meta junk in its exported files, and this also increases the file size (and should be removed, because there are also a number of fields which include information about your setup).
    One other caveat is that Photoshop's save for web functions neither allows for a choice in chroma subsampling, and instead decides automatically below a certain quality threshold to degrade the colour sharpness quality. The user has no control over this. (Fireworks also limits the user this way.)
    One thing to be careful of: FW's jpg quality setting, and PS's quality settings are very different - a 50 in Photoshop is not the same 50 setting in Fireworks.
    For jpg optimization I generally use RIOT (free): http://luci.criosweb.ro/riot/
    (When you install, be careful NOT to install the extra junkware!)
    Fireworks cannot change the chroma subsampling to 4:2:0, which does degrade the quality a bit compared to RIOT and Photoshop in my experience. Photoshop adds useless meta information, even if the user tells it not to do that. RIOT allows you to remove that information, saving 6k. RIOT also offers an automatic mode that optimizes existing jpg images without degrading the quality further, and often saves 10k or more, depending on the images.
    Interestingly enough, in my tests exported Fireworks jpg images are always reduced in file size by RIOT, due to FW's jpg export limitations, without any image degradation.
    In my tests FW's jpg quality versus file size turns out to be the worst of all three. RIOT generally wins, or is at least on par with Photoshop.
    As for PNG export, Photoshop's save for web function is quite abysmal. No 256 colour full transparency export is possible, while Fireworks does support this.
    Having said that, there is a free alternative that leaves both Photoshop AND Fireworks in the dust: Color Quantizer. http://x128.ho.ua/color-quantizer.html
    CQ is an amazing little tool: with it anyone can create PNG files with full transparency and reduced to ANY number of colours! It means that a 512 colour PNG with full transparency is now very easy to do. On top of that, for more difficult images a simple quality mask brush tool allows the user to control and retain even small colour details in a PNG, while reducing the file size to an absolute minimum.
    CQ is one of the best kept secrets of a Web Developer's toolkit. And it is free!
    Both RIOT and Color Quantizer have a built-in batch mode. Both are available for WIndows. Not for Mac. If you are on a Mac, try imageOptim. Not nearly as good as RIOT and CQ, but quite passable.
    PS to be fair, the newest versions of Photoshop do allow for export of 8bit PNGs with full transparency through the use of its Generator functionality. But again, it cannot compete with CQ. And as far as I am aware, Generator cannot be used in Photoshop's batch processing (which, btw, is very slow! For simpler daily image processing tasks I have to do in batches, I prefer IrfanView, which is lightning fast! IrfanView).

  • Why does the book file bloat?

    Every time I refresh (reimport) the EDD to the files of a book, the book file gets larger and larger indefinitely (which never happens to the individual fm-files).
    Okey, I can resave as mif and then resave the mif back as a .book file to get rid of that junk, but why? It's pretty annoying. Why does it bloat? What's the purpose of bloating it rather than just replacing the old structure definitions? This has been so for all versions of FM I know of.

  • Why does the drag and drop context menu always popup when dragging files between windows explorer instances ?

    I have fusion 7.1.1 on an iMac 27 inch retina. 32GB ram of which 6GB assigned to Fusion and 2 cores. Windows 7 Home Premium installed. Mostly working fine but a few funnies. First and foremost: Whenever I drag and drop between instances of windows explorer, I get the little pop-up context menu offering me Copy Here / Move Here etc.  etc. I have never known Windows to ask me what I want to do when I drag stuff - why is this happening ? I have scoured the net for info on this and found nothing. Please note that this is NOT associated with the Start Menu (For which I found a zillion solutions to whatever that problem is). Also, It is NOT to do with stopping drag & drop and Context menus: yes, I know how to do that but that is NOT what I'm asking to get rid of. This may not be related but I have also had to set my Internet Properties / Explorer settings / Launching-applications-and-unsafe-files to "Enable" to prevent every shortcut I create causing a "Do you want to run this ... ?" message every time I click on them. Doing this has caused WIndows 7 to turn into a finger-wagging safety-nanny glaring at me over its demi-lune spectacles.

    Ok ... fixed

    What the heck is a "pass code" and why am I being asked for one??  And where would I find said pass code?  I've not had to do that for prior updates, so am more than a bit confuzzed.  Thanks.
