My Ipad 2 will not open apps that I have download from the app store but will open apps that came preinstalled.

My IPAD 2 will some times not open apps that I have down load from the app store. But will open all of the preinstalled apps.I must go to the app store and install something and then all the apps will open. I should not have to install unwanted apps to keep my IPad working.I have reset and total reset nothing sames to work.

Sounds to me like you may have an issue with the firmware, i.e. the iOS version that you are runing. I also have an iPad 2 and sometimes have to restart it to get it to recognize and run a newly downloaded app. And only once or twice have I had to uninstall and redownload an app that this didn't fix. I think this has more to do with the way an app has been coded more than anything else.
You might try doing a "Reset All Settings" reset and set it up as a new iPad. You should not lose any data, apps, music, videos, etc. that you have stored on your device. I have done this a few times when tweaking the iOS 5.0.1 firmware and never lost anything. You do have to re-enter your ID's and Passwords for wifi. And of course you will need to go back into settings and reset any changes you may have made to things like location and notifications.
I don't know if this will work, but if I was in your place this is the next step that I would take.

I get error message when I try to open PDF's that I have downloaded from the web- document cannot be opened it is either not a supported file type or the file has been damaged. Need help

Is this how I start my new thread?

Thanks.
"Can you right-click, save the pdf file to your desktop (or wherever) then open it using File>Open in Reader?" I tried and was not successful.
I do not know ow to access the PDF viewer of Safari, and BTW the problem may lie in the fact that i have not upgraded from 10.8.5.
And I do not know where the "open with" box might be or if it is a global or app-attached box.

I recently traveled in Egypt with my iPad. Iam back in the US, but I wanted to download an app, and I get a message that I cannot download from the Australian store, and I need to switch back to the USA how do I do this?

I recently visited Egypt with my iPad. I am now back in the USA. I tried to download a new app, and I got a message that I could not download from the Australian store. I was told I need to switch back to the USA store. I did not deliberately switch to the Australian store. Why doesn't the iPad automatically switch back to the USA.

Itunes gives me an error message when I try to open. "This copy of itunes is corrupted or is not installed correctly. Please reinstall itunes (-42037) "
Howeever it says the same thing when i try to download from the app store. How do I get this reinstalled??

First uninstall your copy of Itunes--http://www.tekrevue.com/tip/uninstall-itunes/ (make sure you empty crash) Then you go to the applications website and reinstall it. Dont worry about losing any of your music because thats in a separate folder. Thats it---it works.

HT201209 I have remaining credit at the iTunes Store, but will not let me use without a download code! That code was thrown away month ago, after downloading it. How can I use my unused credit $??

I have remaining credit at the iTunes Store, but will not let me use without entering 'your Gift Card or Download Code' which, of course, was thrown away months ago, when I first put the code in! Originally it was put into my computer, now I'm trying to redeem on my iPhone. Anybody have any ideas....I mean it IS my money! Thanks Ruthie

What you are saying does not make sense. You redeem a card once, that's it. It doesn't matter what device you are using, as long as it's using the same account, you will get the reminder of your store credits.
Could you give more details now?

How do I disable this - "Firefox.app" is an application downloaded from the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it?

how do I disable this - “Firefox.app” is an application downloaded from the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it?

If you want to open it confirm that you do. You will not be asked that question again after the first time you open it
Unless you are keeping Firefox in the .dmg it was downloaded in. That is to say, if you obtained Firefox in a .dmg, and you have kept the .dmg mounted, and are launching Firefox from the mounted .dmg, then you will ALWAYS get that warning. You should copy Firefox from the mounted .dmg to your Applications Folder (or anywhere you prefer), and then eject the mounted .dmg. Unless you need to install Firefox on another system, you can then delete the .dmg.

HT2729 I have been trying to move a 1 hour movie from my Mac to my iPad without success. I know I have clicked all the right boxes but iTunes is not cooperating.??

Possibly.
You could test that by dropping a largish image into a test Pages document and duplicating it until your document won't send.
Some eMail clients have ceiling levels for file sizes, as do some receiving servers.
Also test to see if you can simply export your file to pdf, in which case it will be retained on your iPad. That would be a first step.

Stop whining and you're much more likely to get help.
Managing content on the iOS device has not changed in any way with the new version of iTunes.
It is still possible to "drag and drop" content onto the device, my personal opinion is that this is a silly way of managing content.
Simply select the content desired to sync to the device and synce.
IF you really want to "drag and drop" content, then Manually manage content on the device must be select from the summary tab for the device. Then drag and drop content all you desire. This may require having the sidebar displayed. To display the sidebar, type Cntrl + S.

After i have downloaded an album from iCloud to my new macbook pro. Itunes will only play one song at a time. If i hit the fast forward or back button will not do anything. I have to use the mouse to hit the next tidal in the album then hit play for it

after i have downloaded an album from iCloud to my new macbook pro. Itunes will only play one song at a time. If i hit the fast forward or back button will not do anything. I have to use the mouse to hit the next tidal in the album then hit play for it to play the next song. Or put it in the UP NEXT.

First, make sure these items have checkmarks next to their names in iTunes. Continuous playback only works on checked items. Itunes will play all checked items in a list whether or not they're from the same album.
If you see that nothing in your library is checked and you want to check everything, hold down Ctrl while checking an item. This checks everything.
Next, fixing the "1 of 1" problem is easily. Select all the tracks that make up the book/album. Let's say there are 15. Press Ctrl-I. Doublecheck that the album box is filled in with the name of the book, and if not, type it there. Enter "15" in the box for the total number of tracks. Click OK. Now all the items should be "1 of 15," "2 of 15," and so on.

Acrobat XI Pro shows that it has downloaded in the CC dropdown but I don't have a folder in my Applications folder and PDF files open to an old version of Reader.

I can't figure out how to open Acrobat XI Pro. It shows that it's downloaded in the CC dropdown but I can't find it anywhere on my machine. I've tried re-downloading it but nothing seems to happen. I've uninstalled all my old Acrobat versions thinking that would solve it but it didn't.

AdamSJarrett please see Install and update apps - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html for information on how to install Adobe Acrobat XI Professional. In addition I would recommend reviewing Launch CC apps after install - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/launch-creative-cloud-apps.html.

Thanks for the information and your help. I have never bothered before changing the format. Next time I will.
I copied the library to the external drive and then it went and said they were referenced files but I was okay about that. Now it cannot see them and will not do anything with them. I think I will buy another external drive and start again by importing all of my files again. I guess 55K will keep the mac busy this week.

My Ipad 2 will not open apps that I have download from the app store but will open apps that came preinstalled.
