".exe. files that will not open on my iBook G4

I am taking a online college course that utilizes a program called "Blackboard" and I cannot open any of the assignment files that are ".exe" Do I need virtual windows or another application to correct this? Why won't the exe files open on a mac, but automatically open on a PC?

Some courseware is distributed as self-executing files (exe files) which will only work under windows.

  • How can I save a page offline? the "complete" option in "save as" produces a folder w/ 36 kb files that will not open.

    the "complete" option in "save as" produces a folder w/ 36 kb files that will not open anything - can't I save the page as a single offline file?

    This is not really an answer just my comments on your question.
    I am sure I recollect efforts being made to get mhtml to work with FF.
    Probably the important thing to remember about .mhtml is that if other browsers do support it they may need addons, and may not necessarily render the content correctly/consistently.
    There are FF addons designed for archiving webpages, you could try them, but that then assumes the recipient has the same software.
    You could simply save the page from FF to your XP pc; then offline open it with and save it using IE, before then emailing using FF, and attaching the .mht or mhtml file that you have now created on your PC.
    As an alternative method, in some cases it could be worth considering taking a screen grab of the required page, then sending that to the recipient as a single email attatchment using either a bitmap or jpeg file format for instance.
    Something such as an airline booking may be designed with a print option, possibly it could be worthwile looking at sending the print file itself as an email attachment.

  • I need to install iWork 09 so I can open the many pages document files that will NOT open under the new pages 5. Mavericks will not accept an install from my iWork's 09 CD. How do I get around this?

    I need to install iWork 09 so I can open the many pages document files that will NOT open under the new pages 5. Mavericks will not accept an install from my iWork's 09 CD. How do I get around this?

    Hi, I'm helping StringSinger2 with this problem.
    The previously installed version is Pages 3.0.3 (the same as from iWork 08). This version (Pages 3.0.3/iWork 08) is incompatible with Pages 5.
    That is why it would be helpful to install iWork 09, which is the version between the two. It will open the older 08 files, and its saved files are readable by the new Pages5.
    SO...
    When I try to install iWorks 09 from my retail DVD the error message is "the installer is damaged". (I know the dvd is good, I installed iWorks09 to my laptop today.) Is the "installer" part of the system files? And - If that is damaged is there a patch for that?
    Many Thanks!

  • How to fix a Domain file that will not open

    We have a Domain file on our Mac Mini that will not open - iWeb keeps saying that it cannot be found, even though it is in the Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. I transferred the Domain file to my GS, and I get the same response - if I switch back to the original Domain file (on the G5), all is well. Obviously, the Domain file from the Mac Mini has gotten corrupted, but cannot determine the exact problem (though I think it may be the index.xml.gz file). I've reinstalled iWeb, checked permissions, deleted (and re-created) the associated plist files - nothing. Unfortunately, our company's web pages are in that Domain file, and cannot perform some much-needed updates. Any help that can be offered would be most appreciated!!

    Have you tried double-clicking on the Domain file?

  • CR2 FILES THAT WILL NOT OPEN

    Hi,  I find my Camera Raw CR2 files will not open any more.  I use CS4 on a pc.  One camera I have been using is Powershot S100.  I read that ACR 5.7 was appropriate for my CS4 version of photoshop, but it will not work with this cameras files.     I read the tech notes and downloaded ACR 5.7 anyway .  I installed it in program files where the old plug in was located, but, as I feared, it wont open the CR2 files.  I then searched for the correct DNG file, which appeared to be 6.5, but it will not work with the powershot either.  Is there any DNG file that might work, or is there another solution short of buying a new version of photoshop, which I do not need or want? 

    Sorry, the question you asked is not about FormsCentral. So I suggest you to post a discussion in the forums of Camera Raw or Photoshop to get the answer: http://forums.adobe.com/community/cameraraw.

  • Illustrator CS4 - frequently generates corrupt EPS files that will not parse

    I have used many versions of Illustrator prior to and including the CS lines.  I am currently running CS4 and this is the first time I have experienced this issue.  Approximately half of my EPS formatted illustrator files will not parse.  I use Quark Xpress 7 for my layout (never liked any of the Indesign programs).  If I try to generate a PDF with my CS4 generated EPS files placed at least 60% of the time the placed file will corrupt the PDF export resulting in no PDF being generated. 
    Further to this PDF export issue, if I attempt to parse the same EPS file into Photoshop, Photoshop will give me the error message "Could not complete your request because Photoshop was unable to parse the PostScript" and it will abort the attempt to open the file.
    Anyone else having Illustrator EPS file issues?
    Background info (if needed) Dual 2.0 Ghz, PowerMac G5, 8 gb RAM, running Tiger 10.4.11
    I have attached a sample Illustrator file that will not Parse.  It will open in Illustrator but not parse into Photoshop or if placed in Quark will not parse and allow for a PDF to be exported.

    Thanks for taking the time to write Steve. 
    I understand that I can drag and drop between programs.  Ultimately, when attempting to parse an EPS in photoshop I am merely doing it to confirm that the EPS is indeed corrupt. 
    As mentioned previously, I predominately use Quark Xpress for my page layout program and until I installed CS4 I have had zero complications with using EPS files.  Now I quite commonly can not export PDFs due to corrupt EPS files. 
    My question to the public is I am alone in this glitch or do others experience the same issue.  My first thoughts are that CS4 has a glitch and I should be expecting an update in the near future.  But, if I am the only person suffering from this issue than maybe I should be looking at my own software.

    I have a 5 min. video that will not open the cause of which appears to be due to an osstatus-54 error. can this be resolved & if so, how?

    It means that the orignal video file is missing which is not good news. How was the file placed on the backup hard drive?  Can you select the file on the EHD and play it with Quicktime Player?  That will tell you if the backup is a good backup.

  • Please help! My Itunes says corrupt file and will not open (IMac 2010). I couldn't fix it by reinstalling so I moved it to trash. It will not delete from my trash as it is saying "Japanese.lproj" is in use. I can't delete or open to close it, what do I do

    Please help!
    My Itunes says there is a corrupt file and will not open (IMac 2010). I couldn't fix it by reinstalling ITunes so I moved ITunes to trash. It will not delete from my trash as it is saying "Japanese.lproj" is in use. I have never opened or used "Japanese.lproj". I can't delete ITunes or open ITunes to close the Japanese.lproj, what do I do? Thank you for any help you can provide..

    It will not delete from my trash as it is saying "Japanese.lproj" is in use. I have never opened or used "Japanese.lproj".
    Interesting. This sort of thing is more common on Windows systems. Taken at face value, one of the iTunes program files (one of the Japanese language resources) is damaged.
    I'd try running your Disk Utility over your startup disk. Does it find/repair any damage? If so can you empty your trash and reinstall your iTunes successfully now?

  • I have a mac Book that will not open DVD's of Business Presentations.  I had my hard drive taken in to the Mac Store and had a new hard drive installed.  Since then I cannot open DVD's.  What is the application that I need, and the process. Tks

    I have a mac book that will not open up DVD's recorded with a presentation.  I install the disc in a HP / windows 7 and it works fine.  I had my hard drive replaced and since then I cannot open up DVD's.  Was there a application that did not get installed?  And if so what is the process.

    You need DVD Player. It should be in your Applications folder. If it is in there go to System Preferences>CDs & DVDs and for "When you insert a video DVD" make sure DVD Player is selected.

  • I am trying to clear files from my computer. I have a bunch of .m4v protected files that will not delete. They are lectures from college that I do not need anymore and would like to delete them to make room on my computer.

    I am trying to clear files from my computer. I have a bunch of .m4v protected files that will not delete. They are lectures from college that I do not need anymore and would like to delete them to make room on my computer. I have looked at the help sites and they seem to give directions to change files that people are saving in the future and not regarding past files. I am unable to change anything about the file including the name, so I can not change these past files from .m4v to something else which is deletable such as .mp4 etc. Any help would be much appreciated!!!!

    Well, most of what we can tell you is already stated in the message you are getting.  A phone can only sync with one library at a time.  You have apparently synced your phone with a different iTunes library in the past, or changes have been made to this library so the phone no longer recognizes it as the library with which it was synced.  To know which you will have to provide the information.
    If you bought them using the AppleID you use with this phone it may simply be easier to re-download them directly to the phone rather than sync them, though you will want to resolve that issue at some point.
