AI Workspace hates some files!

Here's a strange one.
About a month ago I noticed Illustrator (cs6 mac) would not Save For Web. The app would just beach ball forever until I gave up and force quit.
Today I tried to open an illustrator file a co-worker sent me and I got the forever beach ball (I let it spin 30 min through lunch, just to be sure it wasn't just slow). So I deleted the prefs plist and Adobe Illustrator CS6 settings.
After that the app opened the problem file just fine. Also, Save for Web was back (yay). Of course, AI was in it's default workspace then.
But as soon as I changed any one thing about the interface, such as a palette location or hiding the default app bar, the beach ball freeze would be back. I did this a couple times -- delete pref files, open AI in its default config, open and save stuff, quit, restart. but as soon as I moved, say, the swaches palette around, or showed the character palettes, on next restart the problem file would beachball.
What could it be? Whay would AI care which of it's palettes were in what order?

The first thing to do is to apply this hotfix:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2597939. Since that was posted, we have seen some cases of this problem that fall outside the upgraded environment set out in the article.
Next, look at this
blog post, especially the third item, "'Harmonica version not found' or files appearing to 'jump' to the root of the library." Without the hotfix, you may see this jump with only one folder layer even on a new 2010 SharePoint Server, which
is why I recommend installing it first.
We are aware of this issue and looking into ways to improve the behavior.

Desktop preview is de-interlacing or down-resing and fc hates m2v files

So, I'm new to FC. I've been using Avid and compositing packages for my video over the last few years.
I have a second monitor hooked up to my DVI port on my mac book pro. I have its resolution set to a reasonable 1280x800.
I want to set it to be a full screen preview monitor, so I have the "Digital Cinema Desktop Preview - Full Screen" option selected. I have it set to "Mirror" and I have it set to "All Frames" as per the various posts on this forum suggest.
I have the following problems:
If my source file is a m2v (mpeg2) the Viewer and the external monitor lock together. Both scrubbing and playing display each frame identically and in sync with one another (exactly what I want). The only problem, is that FC seems to hate m2v files. Opening a project with over 100 m2v files prompts a 15 minute delay while FC does something with the m2v files. I've tried futzing with the tumbnail cache as other posts on the forum suggest, with no success. Importing m2v files individually prompt a delay of 10 - 20 seconds each (that mov files of the same content do not). That delay appears to be duplicated en-mass when opening a project with m2v sources. So I've given in to transcoding off of m2v and moved on.
If my source file is a mp4 file or mov file (converted from the m2v, using either mpeg stream clip or compressor), the image on the external display appears to be downres'd, or possibly de-interlaced (and therefore, line doubled, a kind of downres). The viewer however, displays the image at full res. If I make sure to adjust the clip in FC to a field dominance of "none" then cutting the clip into a progressive timeline results in a perfectly fine image. It considers it progressive when it renders to the timeline's codec (btw, leaving the field dominance as something that implies interlacing results in a deinterlace at render, and therefore a loss of resolution). I am however, left with the problem that I even though FC clearly understands that the footage is progressive due to its proper render, the preview on the external monitor will dinterlace it no matter what I do. If I change it to "raw" rather than "full screen" it does infact display it without deinterlacing or downres'ing. However, its small and centered as the source footage in this case is SD in size.
Beyond the deinerlace/downres issue, when using a mov or mp4 source, the viewer and external monitor do no lock even though I have "mirror" selected and both the viewer and the canvas are set to "Fit to Window" as many posts in this forum have suggested. What I get, is a split of behavior. Playing a source clip plays it on the external monitor but the viewer stays frozen. Scrubbing moves the viewer but the external monitor plays catchup (only updating once a second or so).
I have tried a bazillion codecs, from h264 to pixlet to photojpeg. They all behave the same with regard to deinterlacing and syncing.
So, can anyone comment on the behaviors I'm seeing here? They're driving me nuts. All I want is to have a nice fullscreen output on my external display thats the same as on my viewer. Clearly its possible, as the m2v files do it. But as stated, m2vs can't be used for other reasons.
HELP!?!?!

I can tell the difference between SD footage that has been blown up vs SD footage that has been downres'd and then blown up. This is a case of the latter. The change from full screen to raw very clearly changes the decoded image prior to a scale to the monitor (or in the case of a raw, no scale for the monitor). Its different decoding behavior.
Again, the image quality and behavior on the m2v files is different and correct. Same source material. Same resolution. Different wrapper format and codec. But for reasons stated prior, not usable due to a FC slowdown with that wrapper format (unless someone knows of a way to overcome that).
Yes I have opened the manuals. I would not be posting here if the manuals had answered my question. And yes, I've searched the forums for similar issues, and have made note of the solutions and suggestions I've tried. I'm trying to be a good forum citizen here but the tone and caliber or responses are troubling and patronizing.
Your suggestion is noted but I will turn to other solutions before buying the thousands (if not tens of thousands) of dollars worth of storage required to keep all this footage as DV. That being said, I have transcoded a test clip to DV to check it out and it behaved no differently than the codecs listed prior. I did however, discover some new behavior that may be useful in figuring this out.
When I make sure to set the footage to "none" for field dominance, and put it in the timeline, as stated, it renders correctly, without a downres. However, when I double click the clip in the timeline, bringing it back into the source viewer window, it starts acting correctly. It is full res, blown up to full screen in the external monitor. It operates in lock step between the viewer and the external monitor. This problem only shows itself when viewing a source clip from a bin that has not been in the timeline yet. I can even drag the clip back into the bin, making a subclip, and the subclip acts correctly. Though, the new sourceclip does have an emtpy filter stack and a inactive motion tab on it now, perhaps indicating why its acting differently.
I have a functioning xml importer script so I'll take a look and see if there is an element I can add to a clip in a bin that will result in the same "fix" without having to subclip. However, if anyone has any other ideas as to why the viewer and desktop preview is acting so very different playing a directly imported file versus a subclipped but otherwise unaffected file, specifically with regard to resolution or interlacing, I'd be interested to hear them.

HT201250 Hello i am using TimeMachine to back-up entire Mac image (data + system) on an usb-local drive. I would like (on top of it) add a specific plan to back up some files on a remote network drive. Does TimeMachine support multiple back-up plans ? How

Hello i am using TimeMachine to back-up entire Mac image (data + system) on an usb-local drive. I would like (on top of it) add a specific plan to back up some files on a remote network drive. Does TimeMachine support multiple back-up plans ? How ?

Time Machine is capable of backing up to multiple locations, and can be used to back up to both a local hard drive and a networked drive (provided that that drive is in or connected to a Time Capsule or another Mac that is sharing it over the network). The catch, though, is that you can't specify different things to back up to different destinations. Whatever you exclude from Time Machine backups is excluded from ALL backups, and whatever is included is included on all.
So, get a large enough drive that you can back up everything you want in all locations, or use something else for maintaining the network backup.

Can't read or write some files, internet is failing, youtube won't load, software I tried to install was in Slovenian, not dutch or english like in my systempreferences settings, pictures and files won't preview with spacebar, etc. Malware?

Specs:
iMac 10.8.5
3,4 GHz Intel Core i7
32 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Can't read or write some files, internet is failing, youtube won't load, security software I tried to install was in Slovenian, not dutch or english like in my systempreferences settings, pictures and files won't preview with spacebar and are randomly corrupted, when I entered something in the Youtube searchbar (when it was still working) it send me to a site with sexadds.
I tried restart my iMac and when I was logged back in, my dock preferences were reset.
Also tried to download some security software to check my Mac for malware, but when I did, I tried several, I got a notification that said something like 'dumpfiles (don't know if this is the right translation...) damaged'.
I'm taking screenshots from all the weird notifications I get and even three quarters off the screenshots I took in the last three hours are already unreadable.
It started this morning when I tried opening a Premiere Pro file on which I worked the night before.
When I tried opening it, it said the file was damaged and could not be openend.
I tried opening it with AE or importing the file in a new project but nothing helped.
When I tried looking for autosaves, this is the really weird part, there were none.
Even though there are autosaves from my other projects, this one was completely gone.
It looked like the day before never happened on my computer.
Also when I openend Premiere all the recent projects had been wiped.
So at first I thought it was a Premiere Pro failure.
But than, later on the day, I tried loading some RAW files from my compact flash card.
This is where I would get an error (error -36) which said some data cannot be read or written.
I tried importing the files with a view different technics, from dragging to importing via Lightroom and I succeeded with Image Browser.
But when I tried moving the files to an other folder the same error occurred.
While dealing with this issue I wanted to put on some soothing music on youtube.
This is when the next weird thing occurred: youtube wasn't completely loading in Chrome. I refreshed a view times, checked the internet connection and still no difference.
When I tried in Safari it did work but when I clicked enter on the searchbar in Youtube, a page with sexadds appeared (I didn't install AdBlock in Safari...).
I read about this 'phishing' where you are redirected to a site were a possible malware installment can take place...
I don't know if it's connected to any of the problems I've been having but I just never experienced this on a mac, I have been a Mac user for 10 years now.
On top of it all, internet started working worse and worse and now it's not even working at all. I had to fill in the password over and over, normally it remembers.
Just like my system preferences, all the preferences I had with Chrome where also reset.
Also somewhere in between I got this notification: Mac OS X must restore library to run programs. Type your password to allow.
To me this is all very weird and suspicious. I have clearly no idea what's going on. Could this be another sort of trojan horse or malware?
Some background info which could be helpful for solving this mystery:
two months ago the one year old Fusion Drive in my iMac just broke out of nowhere.
I got it replaced by a qualified apple repair store.
When I got my computer back, all the files where gone.
I got on the internet without AdBlock installed yet.
A game or whatever it was, can't clearly remember, got installed by accident.
I deleted it immediately.
Only two weeks later, I couldn't log in to my account. It didn't recognize my password and username.
So I brought my mac back to the store.
Here the repair guy said it was a minor thing and he just needed to reconnect my account. He also mentioned he found a downloaded game name Sparta and it probably had something to do with the error.
I asked him; could it be a virus? He replied no way.
I don't know why I couldn't be a virus, just because it's a mac doesn't mean it cannot be done.
So today I tried installing anti virus software (such as avast- was in a weird language looked like slovenian, clamxav - was in slovenian) but I couldn't install them.
PLEASE help me! I don't know what to do anymore, I work fulltime and I need my computer, I have no time to bring it in for repair, are there other perhaps easier ways?
Could this be the work of a virus or a malware? Or is it a disk permissions issue?

It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

Can't copy some files from FileVault Sparsebundle in Time Machine backup

I've got filevault turned on for my mac Mac Mini (10.6.2). I'm using Time Machine to back up to a firewire drive. There's plenty of space - my Mini hd has 250 Gb of 500 used, and I'm backing up to a 750Gb partition on the external drive. The initial backup went OK, and when I logged out it backed up my filevault-protected home directory. When I logged back in, I was able to browse the Backups.backupdb on the external drive, go to the users directory, and open the sparsebundle that was my filevault-protected home directory (after entering the password). I can browse through this backup of my home directory. However, when I try copying files from the backup of the home directory, I get an error:
The Finder can't complete the operation because some data in "(filename)" can't be read or written. (Error code -36).
I get this error for some files, but not all of them. I've tried running BatChmod to reset permissions on all files in my home directory, and then erasing the backup drive and having Time Machine recreate the backup. However I'm still having this problem.
I have also tried restoring the entire hard drive (to a 3rd external HD) by booting from the 10.6 DVD and going through the full-restore process. All of my files are fine when I restore using this method.
Is there something I should do so that I can restore individual files from the backup of my filevault sparsebundle? It is extremly inconvenient to have to do a full hard drive restore if all I want is a file or two, and of course if the motherboard on my mini dies and I can't get a close enough replacement computer, then I could really be up a creek.

Don't try to restore files individually by hand using finder. TM backups are protected by very restrictive ACLs and are not designed to be accessed that way.
you can restore the whole sparse bundle with the home directory from TM interface. you should be logged in as a different user when you do this. the easiest is to be logged in as root so as not to deal with any permissions issues.
another thing you might try is doing it from command line instead of finder. this is also not the designed way but might work where finder copy doesn't.
to do this run the following terminal command after you mount the sparse bundle with backups of the home directory
ditto --noacl path/to/source/file /path/to/target/directory
here path/to/source file is the path to the file in the sparse bundle you want to restore and path/to target directory is the path to the folder where you want to copy it to. an easy way to get the path to an item is to drag that item to the terminal window. make sure that you have all the spaces correctly in the command.
It is extremly inconvenient to have to do a full hard drive restore if all I want is a file or two, and of course if the motherboard on my mini dies and I can't get a close enough replacement computer, then I could really be up a creek.

On my new Imac, I had the trial version of Pages, and saved some files in it. Now I have purchased the full version from Apple via a download, but I cannot save or print the old files, please help!

On my new Imac I saved some files on the free trial version of Pages, since downloading the full version from Apple, have been unable to save or print from old files saved when using the trial version. Any ideas? Thank you!

My guess is the 30-day trial period has expired but you didn't remove the trial before installing the full version. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user.
Yvan Koenig has written an AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his iDisk in For_iWork > iWork '09 > uninstall iWork '09.zip.

When I publish my site on one specific page where i've added {tag_pagecontent} I get the error:Some files on the server may be missing or incorrect. Clear browser cache and try again. If the problem persists please contact website author.

I'm trying to get a blog module going, I've even deleted the html insert bog with the tag in and re-published which then I don't get the error but as a result no blog either. But then I add the tag in again and publish the error comes back. I've used the dev console and it says that my musicians sample.css is out of date but why is it only out of date when I add in html to my muse site?
HELP!!!! I've searched other threads and to no avail I'm publishing so no direct ftp going on. the only thing I changed in business catalyst was the module stylesheet in order to style the blog. I've tried uploading and replacing all files nothing seems to work. the site is here:
http://www.musicstudentsforhire.co.uk/musicians-samples.html
It's only this page as it has the blog on. Also I've noticed when I've re-published occasionally it will show the mobile version on my desktop and not the desktop version??? no idea why that's happening so I've had to turn that off. any explanation on why that is happening would also be much appreciated.

I haven't received an answer as of yet, I'll post t on here when I do. I de-activated the mobile site because it's my clients site so he needs it to be operational during the day. I hope someone gives me an answer soon.

Hi, I am using my icloud on my iphone but am unable to find it on my mac book pro. It's not under my system preferences like it shows under the setup. Can I download it again? Or something. I just need to backup some files on my computer and am unable.

Hi, I am using my icloud on my iphone but am unable to find it on my mac book pro. It's not under my system preferences like it shows under the setup. Can I download it again? Or something. I just need to backup some files on my computer and am unable.

The minimum requirement for iCloud is Lion 10.7.5 (Mavericks preferred): the iCloud Preference Pane does not appear on earlier systems - the MobileMe pane appears on Lion and earlier but is now non-functional - you cannot now open or access a MobileMe account.
To make use of iCloud you will have to upgrade your Mac to Lion or Mavericks, provided it meets the requirements.
The requirements for Lion are:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
Lion is available in the Online Apple Store ($19.99). Mountain Lion (10.8.x) is also available there at the same price but there seems little point as the system requirements are the same for Mavericks (10.9.x) - which is free - unless you need to run specific software which will run on Mountain Lion only.
The requirements for Mountain Lion and Mavericks are:
OS X v10.6.8 or later
2GB of memory
8GB of available space
and the supported models are:
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications).
You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table

Hey guys,
So this is follow up from my debarkle with the EDD. I found out my problem with copying files from Mac to EDD and vice versa was a result of a not so good EDD ( i had an apollo hard drive from imation) that was not very compatible with macs. So i did my research and found out that the best hard drives were Western Digital and Seagate. I bought the newest western digital EDD 1TB and formated it to FAT32 and guess what...no problems so far. The only problem is that FAT32 format doesn't copy files larger than about 4 gigs so i couldnt copy a movie from my brothers computer onto my EDD that was 1080p. You could probably resolve that by partitioning a small part of your hard drive in ExFAT? but yeah, hopefully that helped guys.

Okay so I set up my Time Capsule already and is now backing up 2 of my iMacs. Works great. What I want to know is how to use the TC to directly store files? I want to do this to delete some files but still have them on the TC for future reference..

Okay so I set up my Time Capsule already and is now backing up 2 of my iMacs. Works great. What I want to know is how to use the TC to directly store files? I want to do this to delete some files on iMac 20inch but still have them on the TC for future reference..eg some movies on iTunes. I want to directly save them on the drive so I can delete them from iTunes and gain some storage. (Ps on iMac 20 inch (it's almost full - 320 GB) when I enter time machine, a tab comes up on finder which reads "Time Machine backups" it's able to be ejected like a disc or a connected device. On the iMac 20 inch, I dragged some files onto there as if using it like a hard drive. Is this the correct method? Then I went to my 27inch iMac and saw the "Time Machine Backups" hoping to see the files I dragged from the 20inch iMac. But the files were not there except a folder that said "Backups.backupdb". Can someone help me?

It's not a good idea to use a network disk for both Time Machine backups and other things. By design Time Machine will eventually consume all the space on its output disk, which will then cause problem for your other files. I'd store those other files on an external disk connected to the Time Capsule. The problem with that is that Time Machine will only back up files that are local to your Mac. That means that you'll only have one copy of the files on or attached to your Time Capsule.

Some Files Cannot Be Moved

I had to kill my old partition because it was only 32 GB, and now I get the error "Your hard drive cannot be partitioned because some files cannot be moved." I've defragged my HD, deleted some large files, and done pretty much everything I can think of to get this working. I downloaded Disk Inventory X to see how fragmented my HD is, but it shows a block of empty space (93 GB, though I have 100 free I assume the rest is scattered). I still get this error no matter what I try. Boot Camp suggests that I back up my entire computer to an external HD, then restore it to my internal HD. 1-That is absurdly risky and I don't think it is a good idea, but I would anyway if 2-I HAD AN EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE. Apple sells this software, but when somebody tries to use it they tell them to go out and spend $150 on an external Hard Drive. That is not OK. Does anyone else have any ideas I can try?

Hi Boondocksftfw, (and anyone enquiring about the error "The disk cannot be partitioned because some files cannot be moved.")
I've had this same problem on two macs now.
The first time it happened, I solved it somehow but couldn't recall - I think it may have been fluking a partition size that worked.
That didn't happen second time around so I googled and found many forum tips, some that I tried, to no avail.
These included, defragging the harddrive (which took 6 hours for my 250gb HD!), performing maintenance with Onyx, and one that I didn't try but most people attempt - backing up your HD and reinstalling Macosx.
I tried to partition the drive manually with Disk Utility just for one last hurrah and unlike Boot Camp, it gave me more information as to why this couldn't be done - "error 0".
I googled this and found that it meant the HD was having problems and needed to be repaired (I think it is a filemapping error caused by erasing the partition) - I verified this in Disk Utility so then booted off an external HD and successfully repaired the internal HD. Now Boot Camp Assistant works with any given partition size!
Hope this will work for you or any other readers!

Since changing our computer I have been unable to download ebooks to my Reader Library I get a message Some file types associated with EPUB files are not associated with Reader Library; Waterstones suggest that I may have accidentally created a new Adobe

When I try to download them from the Waterstones website I get a message saying:
‘Some file types associated with EPUB files are not associated with Reader Library. Do you want to associate them now? When I reply yes I get another message; ‘Configuration error unable to update EPUB files check network firewall and try again’.
The ‘books’ are saved in the Download directory and I can’t transfer them from there to my E-Reader. I have not had any problems before, it was very simple; I saved the download and it automatically went into the Reader Library.
I contacted HP and they said it is a software error and suggested I contact Waterstones. I contacted Waterstones Customer Support and got the following response:
As the error message is specifically mentioning the firewall it does sound like something in the firewall settings is stopping the download from taking place correctly. However, the files should not be being saved to the Download folder. It would be worth trying again by going to your Digital Order History on your Waterstones.com account and pressing the download button, and then making sure to press "Open" not "Save". When you press Open rather than Save it should give the option to open the file with Adobe Digital Editions. If the firewall message still comes up then I'm afraid something is blocking it on your end.
If the above "Open" download method works but you then still get an error message it could possibly be that you have accidentally created a new Adobe ID when setting up on the new computer, rather than signing in with your old Adobe ID. It would be worth trying the aforementioned download technique again first, but if problems did still persist it would be worth calling Adobe themselves on 0207 365 0735, as they should be able to sort out any account issue.
In response to the first para of Waterstones email I already do what they suggest I do press ‘Open’ not ‘Save’ but I don’t get the open with Adobe Digital Editions (we have installed Adobe Digital Editions on the new computer. Waterstones say we may have ‘accidentally created a new Adobe ID when setting up the new computer’ does that mean that we shouldn’t have installed Adobe Digital Editions on the new computer as it would have already been there? How do I sign in with my old Adobe ID?

Hi all after attampting to get some supoport from adobe by phone.... nice people infurating policys as far as support for digital editions or DRM is conserned... However I got no where with support.
I ended up instaling Digital editions on my desktop PC and going through the motions of registering and borrowing a book then returning it. Then I trying on my iPad, Bluefire worked, Over drive did not so I completely removed Overdrive and reinstalled and re registered. all working now.
Maybe some one at adobe did something. Maybe the install of the adobe DE client on a PC corrected what ever was out of wack with my account. Mayby the server that my account lives on did a scan disk and corrected a bad clustrer.
What ever happend My account is actiove and working again. hope this helps others.

"can't load because some files are already in use" - Adobe reader! How do i close whatever i can't find that they say is in use!?

Can anyone help me get Adobe reader 11 installed??? The error message when I'm practically done says the file can't be loaded because some files are already in use - and it refers to Adobe reader! What do I do to get past this??? Help! I need to install adobe!
I had been having a problem after I tried to do an adobe update, so i deleted and tried to reinstall the program and it won't let me ! Any suggestions???

Hi Jody414,
Use the Acrobat Cleaner tool ( Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool - Adobe Labs ) to remove Reader completely from the machine.
Download Reader 11 from: Adobe - Adobe Reader Distribution and install and check.

I am having problems gettting my mail to work ... Mac telling me that my start up disk id full and to delete some files to free up space ... have done this but when i open mail from the dock it just brings up the colour wheel and nothing happening

I am having problems gettting my mail to work ... Mac telling me that my start up disk id full and to delete some files to free up space ... have done this but when i open mail from the dock it just brings up the colour wheel and nothing happening ... it shows when you right click on the mail icon that " application not responding"

If your hard drive is getting full, you need to free up, at least, 20 GBs of space on your iMac's hard drive.
If your Mac is running a fairly recent version of OS X, here are some general guidelines.
Follow some of my tips for cleaning out, deleting and archiving data from your Mac's internal hard drive.
Have you emptied your iMac's Trash icon in the Dock?
If you use iPhoto, iPhoto has its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
Other things you can do to gain space.
Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive to disc, flash drives or external hard drive, older emails you want to save.
Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
Again, archive to disc, flash drives, ext. hard drives or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
When you install and launch it, let it run the automatic ans S.M,A.R.T. tests, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run the tabs that have the ability to clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
move these files/data off of your internal drive to the external hard drive and deleted off of the internal hard drive.
If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be archived or moved, also, to the optical discs, flash drives or external hard drive and then either archived to disc and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.
Good Luck!

Mac won't open some files MasterPlan.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).

I had this problem of not being able to open some files a couple of years ago and eventually was able to fix it but i can't remember how. Any help would be grateful.

The following document should help: Error: Adobe Reader could not open '*.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and was not correctly decoded.)
Please update this thread if your issue is resolved.
Thanks,
