Why isn't shit installing on my macbook? ANGER!
 
I saw that there was only 8 gigs of space left on my mabook. So I decided to delete safari because I had installed firefox. But I noticed the katg chat wasn't working on firefox WTF is up with that btw? And it has nothing to do wth java cause all of that shit is enabled. Well the chat works on safari so I tried to download safari again. But it won't install, it says I need 30mb of free space on my hard drive, but I have 20gigs. Then I tried to install VLC and it says the program has successfully been installed but when I try to open it no go. ANGRY FUMING POTATOE HELP!

SPE, first thing I would do is repair permissions. Second the chat is iffy with firefox for mac, I experience a lot of problems with it, so I use Safari for the chat, and Firefox for everything else.

Ogay, how do I repair permissions?

Keith's Dad 11-21-2006 06:53 PM

Use spotlight to find a program called disk utility, once open select your hard drive, and click the first aid tab. Then click "Repair Disk Permissions."

Ogay, done and done. What next?

I would restart your machine. You have dropped Safari and VLC into your applications folder correct? I am just making sure that you are not trying to run them in the dmg folder.

I have not dropped them in the applications folder. 1) safari won't install 2) the option where you drop the little icon into the folder does not come up for VLC

The chat works fine for me in Firefox. i have a MacBook and I love it. I got it this summer and I've never been happier with a computer. You just need a couple of weeks to get over the differences between Windows and OSX, and then you'll be doing all the shit you did before even more easily.

I just downloaded the latest copy of VLC. After you double click the file, a folder window will pop up. Drag VLC into your applications file or to your desktop from there. It won't give you an option you are just suppose to do it.

Ugh thanks for nothing cubby >_> I loved my macbook up until right now. I never had any problems installing shit...ANGER
