Actions panel not opening with Option+F9 in Mac

Hi,
Does anyone have this problem? This has always happened. I use CS4
When I press Option+F9 it doesn't do anything, it only forwards a song if I have iTunes on.
The only solution I use is going to Window and choosing 'Actions' but it's much tedious than using the keyboard.
If anyone can give me a solution I'll be much obliged.
Thanks

I received this information from Adobe for my mac when the
top actions panel ribbon was showing but the window would not open:
As an initial troubleshooting step, please try to reset the
Flash CS3 configuration to
further isolate the issue:
To reset or re-create the Flash configuration:
- Close all applications
- Go to your Hard Drive
- Then Users
- Choose your user login (with house icon)
- Go to Library
- Then Application Support
- Choose Adobe
- Open Flash CS3 or Flash 9 folder
- Open "EN" folder
- Rename Configuration folder to Configuration_OLD
- Launch Flash again and try accessing the Actions Panel.
It worked for me.

Pdf not opening with _blank in Safari Mac, opens fine in Firefox, IE7

We have pdf's ('secured' using Acrobat Pro, on a password protected site) that open fine, using _blank, in IE7 Win and also download fine with Firefox - but will only give a blank page in Safari Mac (generally latest versions of the browsers). We have tried now on two Macs and one PC (each in a different location, not that that matters).
Would most appreciate your insights. We need to get this up. (Have searched the forums extensively, not found discussion of this.)
Much thanks,
David Allen

Safari 4, has a pdf viewer built-in, and this may cause a conflict with your code (or any old pdf viewers you have installed). You could try searching the apple developers web site for more info at -

Lost start menu icons and not listed in right click open with option +more.

Weird. I need help. Quicktime 7.3.0.70 only--Start menu lost it's icons in the quicktime folder. When right clicking video files, the "open with" option no longer displays quicktime as a program. And lastly, open an avi file or even mpg and the program stops responding without even getting to play the file. I've uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times but can't seem to fix these issues. Can anyone help? Thanks. This just seemed to happen out of the blue.

I also have lost the icons for Quicktime in my start menu under Windows XP. The icons actually work when you do click them but the icons are not loaded. Everything functions fine and it's the newest version of Quicktime installed. I also have the newest version of iTunes installed. I ended up manually adding my own icons on the start menu as I've uninstalled and reinstalled Quicktime several times to no avail and even attempted to flush the windows icon cache. No go. This just started happening recently.
It's not happening on my WinXP Pro laptop however, although I've yet to upgrade to the latest version of iTunes+Quicktime.
*Right-Click Open With Menu still functions properly and the icon image is appearing correctly in that menu.

Actions Panel not displaying

I am posting this here simply because I couldn't find
reference to this elsewhere and perhaps it will help someone
someday.
In Flash CS3 I had a problem with the Actions panel not
displaying. I tried F9, choosing Actions from the Window Menu,
right clicking on a frame and selecting Actions from the context
menu, restarting Flash, rebooting the computer, etc. It just
wouldn't display.
I finally took a good look on my flash desktop. At the very
top, right below the menu bar, was this little horizontal bar,
about 2 to 4 pixels in height. It was a dark grey, virtually
blending in with the window background. It had no graphics or text
on it, just a horizontal bar. It was probably the bottom few pixels
of the window frame. This was my actions panel all curled up, no
header bar, no nothing. I clicked on it, an voila, my actions panel
appeared.
My main questions are these: How did this happen and why was
it just a a blank vertical bar? Why not the regular title bar you
see when you minimize a panel?

The "always open with-" option doesn't work!

Is there a way to get the "Always open with" option when doing a (control) (option) click on a file to actually ALWAYS open with the application I choose? Could this feature be broken or perhaps mislabeled?
Here's what happens; I'll set a file to "always open with" one application. I work on that file and save it. The next time I try to open that file it opens with the snow leopard default application instead of using the application I directed it to "Always open with".
I don't want to open every file type with this application so I'm not setting "apply to all" in the info window/ inspector, I simply want this one file to always open with the application I've selected.
I'm hoping some of you super mac users will know a trick to make this work.

I want to open a few select files with a non-default application (now that the creation code is not used.)...If I work on the file and make/save any changes, it reverts to the default app.
Aha! Okay, I don't think any of us were getting that in the initial posts. You are correct. Snow Leopard no longer uses Type and Creator codes by default, but they are still there. Various things are keeping you from doing what you want.
1) Newer programs that do not use Type and Creator codes at all still need a way to tell the OS what files belong to them. Since at least back as far as Leopard (likely earlier), the system now uses Uniform Type Identifiers. As far as keeping track of what files belong to what applications, they serve the same purpose as Type and Creator codes. So when you save changes, it will indeed revert back to the default app since the file once again gets saved with that program's UTI data.
2) Some programs use both UTI and Type and Creator codes. Usually older apps that have come from PPC code. I would guess that would be either because the developer doesn't want to waste time removing the code that adds the Type and Creator codes to the files, or more likely, to make sure files passed to other users still on older Macs that don't use UTI won't have trouble opening them.
3) I use some much older apps which have still not been rewritten at all for Intel Macs and are still all PPC code. They still write Type and Creator codes.

When I click on a .docx document Firefox thinks it is binary and saves but does not open with MS Word - but it knows .doc is MS Word and opens it automatically

When I click on a .docx document Firefox thinks it is binary and saves it but does not open with MS Word. But it knows .doc is MS Word and opens it automatically (this is the behavior I would like with .docx docs.) In preferences -- applications - it is just says "content type" is "microsoft word document" but doesn't give a way to choose .docx specifically. Is there another way to do this?
Iam running Mac OS X 10.6.4 and Firefox 3.6.8 with MS Word Mac 2008

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that you could not edit documents with Office client application in SharePoint 2010.
Let’s do a troubleshooting about this issue:
1. Make sure that you have installed Office application on your machine.
2. Which explorer did you use for your SharePoint. Please test it with IE 10 32-bit, compare the result.
3. Please try to reset IE, compare the result.
4. Add your SharePoint site into Trusted site on your IE options.
5. Make sure all add-ons related to SharePoint are enable, special for SharePoint OpenDocument Class and SharePointOpenXMLDocuments.
6. Since you used OWA for your SharePoint site, please try to disable OWA, then open documents with client application, compare the result.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,
Wendy

IPhoto will not open with pictures when I click on the icon. It does show that it is open on top toolbar. What happened to my photos?

iPhoto will not open with pictures when I click on the icon. It does show that it is open on top toolbar. What happened to my photos?

Did you run any updaters recently, i.e. like just before this happened? Try this first fix: make a duplicate copy of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file,, Cache.dbt, that is located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences..

Workbooks created in excel office 2007 do not open with excel office 2003

Hi,
We have created workbooks using office 2007 and BEx 7.1 but they do not open with office 2007 (BEx 7.1, patch level 11). The error message is as mentioned ' workbook format .xlsm is supported only from office excel 2007 version'
Plz help.
Regards,
Saurabh Diwakar

Hi,
There is a workaround for this.
Save the workbook locally with ".xls" format in Excel 2007 and try to open with Excel 2003.Now it will open.
(Or)
There is one more option available in the Global Settings dialog where you can mention the "Use XLS File Format" under Default Workbook Tab.This is available from FEP8

I have no "open with" option for downloads

I click on a file within a website to open it, but the pop up box does not have the "open with.." option, only the save option. The file type is a text document with the extension ".prg" which is associated in my Windows Folder Options to open with Wordpad. Within Firefox Tools/Options/Applications, this file type does not show up, so I cannot change it. I read elsewhere where this is blamed on MIME type in the HTML header, but Microsoft Internet Explorer gets it right every time, only Firefox does not recognize the file type.
As an aside, the same site has files with the extension".chg" that I open with Notepad. Firefox gives the "open with" option for these files, with Notepad as the defauld, but the "Always open with" is greyed out. Not that I care, as the default is what I want, but....

Firefox goes by the mimetype and not the file type as IE does.

Mail will not open with Viewer Window

Hi-
When I start Mail, I only get a menubar. It will not open with a Viewer Window and the option to do so is grayed out on the File dropdown menu.
It was having problems earlier displaying messages when moving between folders and was unable to send a message I had just replied to.
New to Apple, don't know where to start..
Thanks,

Too late. Already fixed it. Must have been a bad message on the server because after I logged into my .MAC mail account with another reader (Opera) I was able to download and delete all the messages on the server.
Next time I tried Mail, everything bounced back into shape.

Verity Credit Union site will not open with the new Firefox. How can I get the old Firefox back?

I want old Firefox back. My credit union, Verity, will not open with the new version of Firefox I have downloaded.

@glennhaste, the public pages I visited seem identical in IE8 and Fx10, but you may be referring to a part of the site that requires logging in (impossible for non-customers to view).
Since the problem is so recent, can you recall any changes you made in Firefox, or are you aware of any changes your CU made on its site?
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
1. Clear Firefox's Cache
Firefox > Preferences > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Offline Storage : "Clear Now"
2. If needed, delete the site's cookies here
While viewing a page on the site, "right-click" and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies" (''Sorry, I don't know how you right-click on a Mac'')
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

I installed new version 4. Whenever I double click on any htm or html document it will not open with firefox it gives a message window saying "Windows can not file path please type correctly" (not extact these words) .. It was working when old firefox was there..

Phillipp,
I tried it again using "save link as", and this time it actually worked! I just now downloaded several more using the "save link as" option, and it works perfectly. Thanks. Problem solved.

IPhoto does not open with new Mt Lion

Just installed Mt Lion and cannot open iPhoto. Purchased iPhoto Library Manager and can add new photos and have my old library rebuilt but still cannot open iPhoto. This is the response I get when tried "Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable". In iPhoto library manager iPhoto will not open with the option/command key pressed. Could not rebuild/open it in Time Machine. Suggestions?

applesRnice
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

[SOLVED] firefox "open with" option missing from d

Has anyone noticed that, in firefox 2, the "Save/OpenWith/Cancel dialog has changed to only "Save/Cancel" (with no option to open the file with a particular application)?
For instance, clicking on the first "Excel" file type on this Web page only gives me a Save or Cancel option. With firefox 1.5 there was an additional option for "Open With". In other words, there is no way I can instantly open the document with Open Office using a temporary location. I have to first save it to my home directory and then open it with Open Office or something.
When using firefox 2 with Web-based email clients like Yahoo! Mail, it's annoying that I can't just instantly open attachments (like PDFs). Instead, I have to first save everything.
Is there something I can change in about:config to get back the 1.5 behavior?

No, I already checked my firefox preferences. The preferences explain the behavior of Excel files (set to always save). But, for me, the "Open with" option went missing for PDF attachments and some other unknown binary file types.
I have PDFs set to open with acroread in FF preferences, so that seems okay. Nothing in the filetypes configuration has changed. In fact, the PDFs work okay (with acroread plugin) when I click a PDF link on a random web page. It just doesn't work in email attachments like in gmail (and, it used to before). It used to be that it would give me the "Open With" dialog and I'd open the document with acroread (external application, not the plugin). Now, it forces me to save or cancel. I noticed it happens with some other unknown binary file types, too (I thought these were also supposed give me the "Open with" option).

Which file is used for "Open With" option to get desktop shortcut to open webpage

I created a shortcut for a webpage but this does not work. I want to try the Open With option to create a link but do not know which file in Mozilla folder should be used.
