"Downloaded" but no way to install!

I try to install El Capitan on a Mac Book Pro running 10.10.5 2008.

The upgrade on the Apps screen presents the upgrade as "DOWNLOADED" and it is grayed out.  There is nothing to click on anywhere.  So, it is downloaded and now what?

Thank you

Check your Applications folder.  Do you see the El Capitan Installer?  If so, double-click it, and the installation will begin.

  • I just bought the upgrade to Adobe DC Pro and downloaded, but it won't install - is always watch that I have Acrobat Standard DC?  Any suggestions?

    I just bought the upgrade to Adobe DC Pro and downloaded, but it won't install - is always watch that I have Acrobat Standard DC?  Any suggestions?

    Many people, (Brucgovn in particular), I appreciate the help... but nothing worked at all... but I FOUND THE SECRET!

    What you do, it is go to the Adobe Web site, click on your product and specify that you want to return items - you want a FULL REFUND!

    What is the first option, they give you?  The session ever elusive "cat."  Three times I tried with various silly responses that got me nowhere

    On my 4th attempt, I'm someone who knew what they were doing - literally within 5 minutes, all problems solved, and things everything works perfectly.

    So... my words of advice - forget trying to fix yourself - hitting where it hurts - in the wallet... the minute you say you want a refund - they struggle to get you fixed, hung, up and ready to go!

    Thanks again for the help!  I hope you all have a Merry Christmas - or whatever holiday you and your celebration of the!

  • macOS Sierra downloaded but no prompt to install it.

    Was able to download macOS Sierra, but do not have a prompt to install it.  Mac App Store says it is downloaded, but nothing more.  Ideas?

    The installation program is added to the applications folder you, look in the and run the installer. From memory I think it is called something like "Install mac os Sierra", once installed it will delete itself.

  • El Capitan update downloaded but will not be installed

    Graham,

    Open your Applications folder and look for an application install OS X El Capitan, if it finds in the Applications folder, double-click it.

    Troubleshooting the Mac App Store - Apple Support may provide some clues.

  • VISTA DRIVER DOWNLOADS, BUT WILL NOT ACTUALLY INSTALL...

    A few weeks ago, I was on my computer and it will randomly stop. When I tried to turn it back on, it just kept power off.  Finally, he gave the option to start Windows normally or start Windows repair. I tried to boot normally, it did not work. My computer felt hot so I let it alone for a while. It restarted a few hours later, but this time launched Windows Repair. It has not always worked, so he allowed me to restore to a date, he has already worked correctly.

    Now, it will not install THE drivers or update ALL drivers.  (I have four obsolete drivers).  He will say it's install software device driver, I chose the choice to locate and install the driver. It looks in Windows update. But then he leaves these messages every time: Windows encountered a problem installing the software driver for your device. GOLD Windows found driver software for your device, but has encountered an error trying to install it. Sometimes it is said: the process cannot access the file because another process is used.

    HP has been little or no assistance, given that my laptop is now out of warranty.  They told me to run the Windows File Checker utility, and the results, said: Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to solve some of them.  I was also told to perform an audit of the memory and hard drive, but everytime I try, my computer just turns off!  I try to run the Diagnostics but I saw several devices that have been disabled, and I don't know how they got that way.  The final result with HP is always restore your computer to its factory settings, but I don't understand why I should do before I know if it's a hardware or software problem.  If I restore to factory settings, I lose all my programs installed? How do I get those back?  How can I find the facilities? And if I restore, Windows Vista still work properly?  I don't know what to do and I am at my wits end, can anyone help?

    I have a HP Compaq Presario CQ60 - 215DX Notebook PC

    Hello

    Who "felt really hot" worries me. If you have a store of the local computer (the one that is internal
    repairs and not a leek and display a Best Buy or other stores) or HP Support I
    have so look to it. Frankly you should first return it to factory specs and see if
    It works correctly and if not ask such technical assistance indicated previously

    We might be able to help solve the problems, but that would be unnecessary if the heat has
    damage to the computer, which makes it look like is the case. Added that this process of repair is not likely
    work and would take longer to restore the system back and reinstall your programs.

    You need to get your programs from the same source, that you did initially. Make sure that you have
    the product keys needed to install everything. Have your sources and your keys aligned in front of you
    begin the review.

    You can save your files by putting the drive in another computer as a 2nd disk (best) or external
    Drive USB enclosure and then backup to removable media such as CD, DVD or other USB drives.
    Of course a real store of the computer or the manufacturer of your system can help to recover the files.

    Or you can use a boot Ubuntu CD to back up data.

  • had to replace my hard drive and install photoshop elements 9 diskless. I downloaded but it won't install, there is always a mistake. What should I do?

    Error that says 'install' is corrupted and cannot be opened. You must eject the disk image

    Then he said: 'install' is on the 'photoshopelements_9_LS15.dmg' Safari downloaded disk image this disk image today at 13:33 from trials2.adobe.com

    I had to replace my hard drive and cannot find the disc for my Photoshop Elements 9, so I need to download on the internet. I connected to Adobe and got my serial number when I bought and then went to downloads. There is only one place that has an option to download items and it is grouped under 9,8,7. I downloaded and then it opened and when I click on install, I get the above message. I don't understand what else to do. I don't mind the upgrade if that's what I have to do but didn't have the 9 items I bought initially already installed on my computer?

    Help, please... I am not very computer detailed help would be greatly appreciated.

    acrobat.jpg

    Download complete but do not install the software.

    Hi juan,

    Double-click the downloaded file to start the installation.

    By default, your product trial installer should start automatically when the download process and extraction is complete. If installation does not start automatically, navigate to the folder where you saved the downloaded trial software and launch the installer. (See where are my downloaded products?)

    Kind regards
