WHY GOOGLE EARTH FOR MAC DOES NOT INSTALL ON MY MAC?

I downloaded Google Earth for MAC from official site; worked fine for a week. Then it crashed. No use trying to reinstall: it crashes as soon as the black sky with stars desktop appears.
I trashed original download and downloaded a new one (always from official site). Same results.
Any clue?
Thanks in advance.

There are 120 items with plist extension.
The nearest things to apps preferences (plist) I found in the finder, were a couple of .globalPreferences.plist different in date and a .globalPreferences.(numbers and letters).plist.
Emptied in the trash and rebooted.
Same items now show today's date, and Mac is apparently OK except for need to reconfig mouse and language....
Reloaded Google Earth.
Same early crash at launch.
???Any idea???
Thank you for your quick response and help!

Satellte C870 (PSC8EE) - Display driver for Win8 does not install anything

Hi,
I have a Satellite C870 bought in october last year.
I upgrade it from Windows 7 to Windows 8 a first time just before Christmas and worked fine.
(Some small issues suchas Bios upgrade needed before installing the display driver but all worked well)
Few days ago I had a system crash and the HDD died.
Send out the Sateite for HDD replacement and got it back with Windows 7
Started last evening installation back to window 8 64.
But the display driver from Toshiba site does not install anything ? Not even catalyst....
Just get the request to confirm if I want to install the product and then nothing...
Tried both drivers proposed from 19/02 and 26/02 but with the same result....
Tried to install the driver directly from AMD ad got a message my card was not supported
Tried Windows 7 driver from Toshiba site for my machine and got the same message....
Graphic card is an AMD 75610M
And of course I have admin access, and also tried to launch the Setup files in admin mode.
And other drivers install normally (Lan Drivers, Wifi Drivers, Tempro, Eco mode etc)
Thanks for your Help

Thanks for your kind answer ....
I had unfortunatly tried this option already before posting...
Should have been more explicit in my post....
*I have a solution working right now as I finally achieved to install Drive 13.1 from AMD site.*
Even though I had to proceed with a manual installation.
Sill consider a pitty the file from Toshiba is not working.

Why are iLife and iWork apps not installed on my Mac?

Recently purchased a used iMac late 2013 model and met the seller at the Apple Store to factory reset the mac. Well that was done succesfully but upon my return home and unboxing the iMac once i logged on and went to look for iMovie app it was nowhere to be found. I looked for the other apps from iLife and iWork and they were nowhere either. I tried the search tool and nothing came up and when I went to search for them in the app store thinking I just had to re-download them they were not FREE for me to install.
Isn't iLife and iWorks included with every mac for free? CAn someone please help me get these if I am entitled to them for free or explain why I have to pay for them? TIA.

They are free for the initial owner and if he accepts them at the app store, then they are permanently tied to his Apple ID and password. Their licenses are not transferable - subsequent owners must purchase the apps if they want them. Here are some excerpts from the licensing agreement:
B. If you obtained the Apple Software preinstalled by Apple on Apple-branded hardware, in order to use
the Apple Software on more than one of the Apple-branded computers you own or control under the
Usage Rules, you must log in to the Mac App Store and associate the Apple Software with your Mac
App Store account. If you choose not to associate the preinstalled Apple Software with your Mac App
Store account, you are permitted to install, use and run one (1) copy of the Apple Software on a single
Apple-branded computer at any one time. Please also note that by choosing to associate the
preinstalled Apple Software with your Mac App Store account, you will also associate any other Apple
software applications that also came preinstalled by Apple on your Apple-branded hardware at the time
of purchase (excluding OS X, Safari, and system applications and tools).
and:
Apple Software obtained from the Mac App Store is not transferable. If you sell your Apple-branded
hardware to a third party, you must remove the Apple Software from the Apple-branded hardware before doing so.
If the initial owner does NOT associate the software with his app store account (in other words, he does not accept / install them), then he may transfer his license rights to a subsequent buyer.

Safari Extension - Google Reader for Snow Leopard Not Installing

Google Reader for Snow Leopard is not installing on my 10.6.4 system with Safari 5.01. It just claims to be "Installing"...forever.
Anyone else have this problem?
Steve

Hi Steve,
Go to the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop.
Relaunch Safari and see if that makes a difference. If not, move the .plist file back to the Preferences folder. If you can install the Google Reader extension, move that .plist file to the Trash.

Latest Nvidia Driver for G560 does not install!

Hi,
i've tried to install the latest nvidia driver for my G560. But it seems like the only driver working on this system is the preinstalled driver from Lenovo.
I always get the message that the driver can't find the required hardware. I've downloaded the correct (Win 7 64 Bit) and latest driver from Nvidias webpage. I've even tried some older drivers from the drivers archive.
Does anybody have a clue how I can solve my problem?
Greetings Cpk83
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It does look like the correct driver. But I noticed this "Note: The following notebooks are not supported in this release: 1. Notebooks supporting Hybrid Power with Intel chipsets. 2. Fujitsu notebooks – support will be added in a later release. Fujitsu Siemens (FSC) notebooks are supported in this release. 3. Sony VAIO notebooks – support will be added in a later release. Sony VAIO Windows 7 users can click here for driver update support. 4. Any notebook that is launched after the release date of this driver. " Does anyone know if this laptop has Hybrid Power? Also here is a good tip/recommended from ATI. "Advisory: The display driver supplied by the laptop manufacturer is customized for the built-in flat panel display, and the graphics features and functions specific to the laptop. It is strongly recommended to use the supplied drivers. If installing a different operating system other than the one included with the laptop, the laptop may not meet all the requirements, and supported drivers may not be available. The laptop manufacturer is the exclusive provider of driver updates. If the required driver update is not available at the laptop manufacturers’ website, it is recommended to contact the manufacturer directly, to see if an updated driver will be made available in the future."

Flash Player 9 does not install / run on Mac OSX

Hi:
I had Flash Player 9 working fine on my Mac, G5 running OSX
10.4.10. Flash 9 worked in both Safari and Firefox.
I visited a website that incorrectly told me I needed to
update flash:
http://www.thehdweb.com/
I followed the link to the correct part of the Adobe site,
downloaded the Flash 9 installer and ran the installer.
All Flash has stopped working.
I am stuck.
I need ideas. I have looked for how to uninstall flash and
cannot figure that out yet..

Did you find a solution to this problem? I'm running into the
exact same issue. Also tried to uninstall (using the Adobe
uninstall utility) and re-install; keep getting the "succesfully
installed" message, but still not working.

Taking Z1 back to shops!! going back to Apple: Sony Bridge for Mac does not work

Been an Iphone owner. really, really wanted to try a good android phone, and the z1 looked the best. However
I have had the most frustrating experience- this junky bridge software looks slick but it simply does not work on a mac .
I have spent nearly a week mucking around on forums, reading technical 'get arounds' this is a £600 phone and its not good enough. It might be Apples fault for being so locked down, but sony should not claim it works when it has so many issues.
1) it spent 3 days trying to load my media. It eventually got stuck on 10 min remaining. I pulled the cable.
no contacts had even been added, however 1/2 the photos have, but they are a little jumbled up from when they were on my iphone.
2) i try to download the lastest sony for Mac update 3 times- it cant even do this and gets stuck
3) i then try to update the z1 with the latest software, again this also it gets stuck and hangs. OMG how can i update my software, do i have to buy a PC to go with the phone.
im annoyed now and cant play with my new phone
4) connect phone again and just ask it to do my notes, messages and contacts. This seems to work , but all the messages to my Girfriend are completley missing?? why?
5) i try to load a few folders, the pictures on the bridge pop up window seem to freeze , ai cant even drag these across, the same happens with my music
6) i have a lot of photos on my mac form my iphone 3000. If i choose to load them it only allows me to load all of them and not browse.
can i avoid bridge and view my z1 as a drive? also why wont any of the software update?
the next thing is it seems to have infected teh mac, the new version f itunes will not install correctly!! this is very unusual.
some one please helpme before i rant in my blog!

Hi Inventsc,
I apologize for the late answer. I'm sorry you haven't had a pleasant experience using Bridge. We are aware of the problems you mention and are working on it. As mentioned, you can connect your phone in MSC (mass storage mode). To do this, disconnect the phone, find USB connectivity settings and set it to MSC mode before plugging it in again.
Again, I am sorry it's not working properly for you.
Best Regards,
David

Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 for Mac does not show up in Applications. Tutorial for editing from iPhoto shows selecting the Adobe software in Applications. Am I missing a step in registering product?

Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 for Mac does not show up in Applications. Tutorial for editing from iPhoto shows selecting the Adobe software in Applications. Am I missing a step in registering product?

I answered my own question: There's a difference between "download' and "install." Hunt for "install" (1.5 hrs in my case) and line up your passwords, Adobe ID, etc, then install. Took 15 min. The right choice shows up in Applications. Now it's on to figuring out why photo selected for edit in iPhoto does not show up on screen in Elements.

Go to the website of the manufacturer of your printer and check to see if they have released an updated driver for your particular model.

Back up all data.
Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then launch Safari and test.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

After my first questio: can not find the link for free download firefox 6. You answered and I used the link you send. nr 5 was downloaded but it did not work on a minimac it said the version of the mac does not allow it. What to do use the 3.6

The upgrade notification did not give a free download icon so I asked you and you replyed with an email with a link. I went to the page and could happily download nr 5 instead of 6 but well.
Now firefox gives still the notification to upgrade and what i downloaded does not work on my mac with safari.
So can i savely stay with 3.6 ?

You can't use Firefox 4 on Mac OS X 10.4, on on 10.5 you need the Intel chip.
It would be easier if you replied to your original question, so someone can see what you are talking about. There are a lot of questions asked even in a single day so we can't see what that was easily. If you need to redownload 3.6.17 then
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
I tried a search on your name and that didn't work, but you could possibly have found your previous post via the "My contributions" link at the top of
https://support.mozilla.com/questions
I doubt that Firefox 5 or 6 would be any different, once support is dropped for hardware or operating system it stays dropped, you need to stay with version 3.
