Mac Pro :: Opening Certain Installers?
Dec 23, 2010
So recently I tried to install a Genuine Fractals trial on my Mac Pro but the installer would never open. Whenever I tried opening it on my MacBook Pro, the installer opened perfectly. Now I am trying to install a Twixtor demo on my Mac Pro and am encountering the same problem. It opens fine on my MacBook Pro, and I have no idea why it won't open on my Mac Pro. I tried clicking the checkbox under Get Info for opening with Rosetta, but that didn't do anything. Does anyone have any ideas?

what is the difference between a retail install discs and a family pack?
i am deciding to buy an mac os x and i am a little confused..
copied from the description of the seller: this is the retail disk and can be installed on any computer that has the system requirements outlined below.
copied from the seller: This Family Pack allows usage on up to five Mac computers in one household.
that's the 2 OS's i'm confused about.. so, the first one is like an unlimited client? and i can install it on an unlimited number of computers? and the other is limited to only 5?

I just got a new Macbook Pro 15.4" laptop (and I love it!). The OS version is 10.7.3. I have been installing a bunch of applications and have noticed one thing thats kindof annoying. For like 90% of the applications I install this happens.... I let the install finish then I browse to the download folder and move the .dmg file to the trash. So far so good. But then when I try to empty the trash I get the message: "The operation can't be completed because the item <app name> is in use." The application install finished so why can't i delete the .dmg file? Is there something in Mac that is similar to the Windows Task Manager so that I can see if the install process is still running in the background (and kill it)?

I have a 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo iMac. Bought it some months ago. I recently had to redo everything. I've run into one problem. I cannot get the old AOL (yes, the old software with the installer) to work. I download it, and open it to install and it closes. It bounces in the dock for a few seconds then closes. Yes, I have Rosetta installed. I installed it from the CD. Other Rosetta required applications are working (Appleworks, for example).

The only way I can open pdf's is from the File Open Menu inside of Adobe. Every time I try to open a document from any way other than from inside Adobe I get this message: "The document �RFI #12 Answer.pdf� could not be opened. Acrobat cannot open files in the �Adobe PDF document� format." Is there a setting that needs to be changed?

I'm new to Macs, and I just downloaded Zipeg, which has worked for me when opening zip files. However, just seconds ago, I tried to open a program that I had just downloaded, but I don't know why it's not working. There's so many files that lead to so many more, but I just want to open the application. I extracted it all, but how do I open the program that is amongst many other files in Zipeg? Or maybe another file opener?

I need to open a .ppm image but I cannot find any software online for the Mac!
I don't understand why it has been so hard to find, but my project for programming requires us to create an image with the .ppm extension.

I have a jar application, but my mac treats it like a folder. It has a .jar extension as well, so I don't know why it does this.

I've never seen anything like this. It started out as humorous, but now it's just aggravating. I even tried updating the software the the latest version, and it still opens on its own, with no apparent prompting, after I have quit the program.
I'm on Mac OS X.

I'm quite an experienced thirteen year old, but I just can't figure out to do with an expanded .rar file. I've downloaded both 'The Unarchiver' and 'UnrarX'.
What do I do with it once I've expanded it?

Is there a simple way to change the function of the return key so that it opens files rather than renames them, or, another way to open files/programs without using a mouse?

I have a 2007 MBP (Santa Rosa) that won't open unless I take a flat tool in between the screen bezel and the top case and manually remove the latches from their slots.
When the little button on the front of the computer is pressed, nothing happens. I doesn't even 'push in', it just resists, no matter how hard I press.
Has anyone else encountered this problem or have any ideas how to fix this? Thanks a lot!

Is there a program to open these .CBR files (comic book rar) for OSX? I found a site to purchase and download a lot of my old favorite comics but I wanted to make sure I can view them on my Mac first.

When I attempt to open a pdf file in Firefox I get a dialog box asking me to "Open with" or "Save to Disk"? The problem is the "Open with" lists only an old app that I no longer have, and doesn't give me a choice to select which app to use. If I go ahead and click OK it opens in Preview which is fine, but why does the dialog box only show an old app that is no longer available? How this this info get filled in, and how can I fix this?

Can some one please post up picture/video's or direct to a site on how to open my intel imac up? I purchased a WD internal Hard Drive and plan on getting it tomorrow. I want to know how to install it on my computer. I'm not new to opening computer and installing hardware (Was a computer tech support for IBM compatible computers).
After searching for a bit and reading the forum, i unpluged my computer and took it to my bed to examine it. According to my findings, i believe there are 5 screw (not flat head or star) that i need to take out in order for the back part of my imac to get apart from the front see thru plastic part. After looking at some pics on google i think i should be able to determine my internal hard drive.
Can anyone confirm if i need to take out those 5 screws under the imac, not the once to take out the ram, i upgraded my ram no problem.
And it would be much help to me to see pictures on take my imac apart and what to see and what to take out or cables to unplug and what NOT to unplug to install my new 500gig WD internal hard drive.
If unable to do so, many somone can direct me to a site with pics or video on how to do it. I saw one on a macbook... Macbook is different then imac.
