hello, I can see the Icon of my external hard on the mac os x 10.6.8 but I can not open it or view any file in the external hard
your prompt reply will be appreciated
thanks

Reinstall 10.6 again, but this time hold c boot off the 10.6 and erase the ENTIRE internal drive.
You do this by selecting the drive makers name and size on the left hand side, not the slightly indented partition underneath it.
If you erase and install 10.6 only into a parittion, say Macintosh HD, the you still have the hidden Lion Recovery Partition on the drive and it appears you already have 10.7
In the MAS, hold option and click Purchases to redownload Lion
FYI, you don't need to install 10.6 to reinstall 10.7, 10.7 can be reinstalled via the Lion Recovery, Command r boot.

  • Why does a gray screen display whenever I try to open a pdf (or any file) using the updated version of adobe

  • Adobe Reader can not open thousands of vital PDF files for the company I work for.

    Adobe Reader can open every PDF file on our server except for the many files that were received by one company. The coding is corrupt and I have not found a solution yet on how to decode it in order for it to open properly.
    I have looked into using uudecode but the online service it provided didn't seem to recognize the code I was putting in.
    The coding to these PDF files looks like this: 
    From what I have seen all of the working files are much shorter and the coding is a lot more organized and starts with %PDF
    If anyone can help me decode it or somehow restore it without receiving the file from the original sender, that would be ideal. Any other suggestions are much appreciated.
    Thank you!

    Your analysis is good. All working PDFs will start %PDF. These files may be
    * encoded
    * compressed
    * damaged in transit
    * destroyed by malware
    * not a PDF but mislabelled
    The format is certainly not uuencode/uudecode nor anything I've seen before. I think you need to contact the senders. If they say there isn't a problem, send a file back and ask if it works for them, because that will check for damage etc. If they CAN open it, they have some special tools or procedures and need to share them with you.

  • NMH405 - Unable to view any files using the FIle Browser

    Hello,
    I logged in to the FIle Browser, hoping to delete some photos from my media hub. However, I am unable to view any music, photo, or video files on this page, nothing listed. All blank when I clicked on these 3 folders.
    No problems accessing the actual files in their respective pages. I could play the music and video files, and view the photos. But I can't carry out any maintenance on them via the File Browser.
    Checked the User Guide, but couldn't find any clues to this problem. Could someone please help me?
    Thanks!

    Hi there,
    Files that were imported and stored on the Import Folder won't be detected on the NMH File Browser. You may only see them if you manually classify the files to it's corresponding folder.
    It means, you need to move the files based on their file type. AVIs, WMV, etc. should be placed on your Videos folder .. Mp3s, Wavs, etc. should be moved to the Music folder .. Jpgs, Gifs, etc. should be moved to Pictures folder ..
    Hope this clarifies your concern.
    Cheers!

  • I saved my Form Central spreadsheet file once as a excel file but it will not allow me to save it a second time as an excel file.  It says that I cannot complete this action because the file me be open in another application, but it is not open in another

    I saved my Form Central spreadsheet file once as a excel file but Forms Central will not allow me to save the file a second time as an excel file.  I am informed that I cannot complete this action because the file me be open in another application, but it is not open in another application. What is the problem, and how do I solve the problem.  Thank you. Jeff

    First check the version of the document with Jongware's script "Identify.jsx" (ExtendScript/JavaScript).
    You can find it here:
    [Ann] Identify Your InDesign File
    If it is CS 5.5 or above, you need someone to open it in the version the script says and export an IDML representation from that. Another way would be to install a 30days version of CS6 or above (CC) and do it yourself.
    In regards of the script showing a result for InDesign files higher than CS6:
    CS7 = CC v9
    CS8 = CC v10 = CC-2014 or CC2014.1

  • I can download (from cloud) Adobe Lightroom 4 but it will not open - error 0x000007b

    I can download, from Cloud, other Adobe products BUT when I download Lightroom 4 it will not open and gives an error message "This application was unable to start correctly (0x000007b).
    Previously I had purchased, singularily, Lightroom 3 and it worked well for almost a year but suddently when I would try to open I received the same error message as above.   I have tried MULTIPLE courses to try to fix this but cannot.

    Mylenium,
    Thank you for your reply.   Other adobe apps are not a problem, i.e., Adobephotoshop, Adobe Acrobat Xi, etc.   The version 3 that was initially purchased worked fine for several months and then reverted to the error message agove.   When I purchased Cloud and downloaded LR4 the download was fine but again would not open.   I have spent hours on the phone with tech help from India and it was a massive waste of time....   I ran a repair on Windows, downloaded 32bit version of LR3 and it seems to work some...could not find 32bit of LR4.    I have installed and removed the program more than 10 times.   I do not know what "event viewer" is nor where I would find it.   Disappointed in the system and appalled with tech support.

    The RAW setting in Bridge is not working. When I open Bridge I can see only icons, no images. The RAW tool icon is grey, not active. I am going on a trip Tomorrow and I need Bridge to be working. It was working earlier.

    I never notied that icon before, and I've been using Bridge for 7 years.
    Usually, when you have no image previews for raw files, this means that your Camera Raw plug-in is older than your camera. People always come across this problem when they use a new camera with older software.
    To be sure, we need to know which camera you are using, and which version of Camera Raw. To save typing this out for the three-thousandth time, please follow this page which I wrote earlier:
    http://yphotography.co.uk/articles/get-adobe-camera-raw-acr-open-photos/
    This covers the subject, which is by far the most commonly asked question about opening raw files by a country mile.
    If everything checks out fine, let us know. If not, give us more information and we may be able to fix this for you.
    PS. Please just open one discussion per problem. There are three threads on this now. It makes it difficult to follow.

  • Hi. I just downloaded "angry birds" from the iTunes store. It says it was successfully downloaded and that I can use it on the two mac products I have. I can see an icon for it in the finder on the mac, but I can't figure out how to play the game. Anyone?

    Thank you for your reply. After a lot of fruitless searches, I hit on a page that offered the same wisdom you did. I feel like rather a fool for not knowing that. Grr. I really appreciate your answer, and that you didn't end it with "dummy." Cheers to you. Hope someone does something kind for you today.

    iPhone 4S will not charge. Can see battery icon but does not charge

    Hello Kbeaty531,
    The following article provides some good information and useful troubleshooting steps for situations where your iPhone appears to not be charging.
    iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive
    If you see the image below, charge the phone with an iPhone USB power adapter for at least 15 minutes.
    You should see this image when iPhone begins to charge:
    If the screen still displays the low-battery icon, try turning iPhone off and then on again.
    If the issue persists, try resetting the iPhone while connected to the iPhone charger.
    Issue not resolved
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
