Can't open a projector in mac, only in win.

Hello, using DIrector MX 2004, win platform. I made a movie
that contains only one .dir file, it's a slideshow, so i used only
some behaviours for the buttons, some music and two buttons that
allow to send an e-mail or visit my site.
The problem is that i create the projector (for win, mac and
mac classic), and everything works ok in windows. But i can't open
the .osx or .classic in mac (it says can't find the program to open
it). Also, i find strange that when i publish director creates ok
.exe, but for mac it creates some zipped files (say "my
movie.osx.hqx", the same for classic), so i tried to unzip those
files before burning my cd-rom. I put some xtras in the cd, but i
suspect it's not he problem.
Anyway, do i have to put in the cd-rom the .dxr file of the
movie or is it unnecessary? (i tried both ways, i can't yet
understand why i have to put that file in my cd, as in windows
everything goes ok.
Thanks for all.

You *cannot* do this on a PC. The reason the file is
published to a
compressed format is so that it can be safely extracted on a
Mac. If you
extract on a Windows machine the resource forks are destroyed
and it
won't then work on a Mac.
You *must* extract on a Mac and should therefore burn CDs
there too.

  • Can't open a website that supports only Internet Explorer

    hi, i can't open a website that supports only Internet Explorer (high-q.co.il - which i need badly for my bachlor dagree)!! 
    my mac runs OS X 10.9.2 system operation. i cant open this site with: chrome,opre,firefox,safari...
    what should i do?

    Try changing your browser agent using the Developer menu your browser preference can enable.
    If that doesn't work, complain to your college dean that the website violates accessibility laws, and should follow http://www.w3.org worldwide conventions to ensure accessibility.  Do not enter any personal information if you are forced to use Windows to browse the website, as it may be insecure.

  • CAN'T  open any applications after mac os update 10.4.11

    CAN'T  open any applications after mac os update 10.4.11 help

    General advice on updating:
    It is worth noting that it is an extreme rarity for updates to cause upsets to your system, as they have all been extensively beta-tested, but they may well reveal pre-existing ones, particularly those of which you may have been unaware. If you are actually aware of any glitches, make sure they are fixed before proceeding further.
    So before you do anything else:
    If you can, make a full backup first to an external hard disk. Ideally you should always have a bootable clone of your system that enables you to revert to the previous pre-update state.
    Turn off sleep mode for both screen and hard disk.
    Disconnect all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
    1. Repair Permissions (in Disk Utility)
    2. Verify the state of your hard disk using Disk Utility. If any faults are reported, restart from your install disk (holding down the C key), go to Disk Utility, and repair your startup disk. Restart again to get back to your startup disk.
    At least you can now be reasonably certain that your system does not contain any obvious faults that might cause an update/upgrade to fail.
    3. Download the correct version of the COMBO update from the Apple download site. If your car runs on gasoline you would not want to fill the tank with diesel, so don’t try to install the PPC updater on an Intel Mac!
    The 10.4.11 Combo Updater for PPC Macs is here:  http://support.apple.com/kb/DL170
    And for Intel Macs here:  http://support.apple.com/kb/DL172
    If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall.
    Full details about the 10.4.11 update here:  http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24901?viewlocale=en_US
    More information on using Software Updater here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24901?viewlocale=en_US
    Using the Combo updater ensures that all system files changed since the original 10.4.0 are included, and any that may have been missed out or subsequently damaged will be repaired. The Delta updater, although a temptingly smaller download, only takes you from the previous version to the new one, i.e. for example from 10.4.10 to 10.4.11. Software Update will generally download the Delta updater only. The preferable Combo updater needs to be downloaded from Apple's download site.
    Now proceed as follows:
    4. Close all applications and turn off energy saving and screensaver.
    5. Unplug all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
    6. Install the update/upgrade. Do not under any circumstances interrupt this procedure. Do not do anything else on your computer while it is installing. Be patient.
    7. When it ask for a restart to complete the installation, click restart. This can take longer than normal, there are probably thousands of files to overwrite and place in the correct location. Do nothing while this is going on.
    8. Once your Mac is awake, repair permissions again, and you should be good to go!
    If your Mac seems slightly sluggish or ‘different’, perform a second restart. It can’t hurt and is sometimes efficacious!
    9. Open a few of your most used applications and check that all is OK. In this connection please remember that not all manufacturers of third party applications and plug-ins, add-ons, haxies etc, will have had time to do any necessary rewrites to their software to make them compliant with the latest version of your operating system. Give them a weeks or two while you regularly check their websites for updates. This applies particularly to plug-ins for Safari 3.
    N.B. Do not attempt to install two different updates at the same time as each may have different routines and requirements. Follow the above recommendations for each update in turn.
    Lastly, Apple's own article on the subject of Software Update may also be useful reading:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106695
    [b]If you are updating Safari (or just have):[/b]
    Input Managers from third parties can do as much harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up.  If you have installed an OS update and Safari is crashing, the very [i]first[/i] thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level /Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
    So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari. Remember: Tiger up to 10.4.10 used Safari 2.0.4 or, if you downloaded it, Safari 3.0.3 beta. Safari 10.4.11 used Safari 3.0.4 which was [i]not[/i] a beta. If Safari 3.1.2 on 10.4.11 is not the fastest browser you have ever used, then something is wrong!
    Moreover, trying to revert to Safari 3.0.4 (or worse still, version 2) when running 10.4.11 or 10.5 can have repercussions, as Safari 3.1.1 uses a completely different webkit on which other applications like iChat, Mail and Dashboard Widgets etc also rely, and may entail you having to reinstall an earlier operating system.
    [b][i]Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party ad-on.[/b][/i] Two such add-on that have been frequently mentioned here for causing such problems are Piclens and Pithhelmet. If you have them, trash them.
    Additional tips on software installation here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106692
    To reiterate, Input Managers reach right into an application and alter its code. This puts the behavior of the affected application outside the control and responsibility of its developers: a recipe for  problems. That's not to say that issues absolutely will ensue as a result of Input Managers, but you, as a user, must decide. If the functionality of a specific Input Manager or set thereof is really important to you, you may well choose to assume the associated risk.
    Again, the advice is to remove all Input Managers from the following directories:
    /Library/InputManagers
    ~/Library/InputManagers
    especially prior to system updates (they can always be added back one-by-one later).

  • Dragged I movie on my Mac to flashdrive Now it doesn't show on the flashdrive or I can't open it on the Mac. How do I retreive my work

    I dragged I Movie from my I Mac to a flashdrive. Now it doesn't show on the flashdrive or I can't open it on the Mac. How do I retrieve the work?? Help

    If you only dragged it, it should make a copy so it should still be on your hard drive.
    It isn't clear if you dragged iMovie (the application itself) or your movie project. Which one is it?
    How is the "flashdrive" formatted?

    Hi gingerjacker,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    Did you restart your Mac and try again?  Sounds simple, but it's a good first step when troubleshooting.
    If the issue persists you may need to delete iTunes from the Applications folder and download a fresh copy.  This does not affect your iTunes library, which is in a different location.

  • Projector can't open a projector

    Hi all, I have a projector that I'm using as a menu, when I
    click buttons on the projector I want to open other projectors and
    close this menu projector. What is the best way to accomplish this?
    I tried the following statements before but they only worked while
    playing the menu movie in director itself not when a projector was
    created:
    code:
    onmouseUp
    go to movie the moviePath & "MovieToOpen"
    end
    I also tried:
    onmouseUp
    go frame ("Start") of movie ("MovieToOpen")
    end
    Thanks in advance. Any help will be appreciated.

    Once you compile the projector, it is no longer a Director
    movie (as far
    as another Director movie can tell). It is just an exe. You
    can open
    an exe with the open command.
    open the moviePath&"movieToOpen.exe"
    If you want to go to a specific frame, you would have to NOT
    make a
    projector out of it. Either leave it as a dir (bad for
    security
    reasons), or publish it as a dcr. You could also (best idea
    from a
    security standpoint) protect it using Xtras, Update Movies.
    MAKE SURE
    YOU BACK YOUR FILE UP BEFORE DOING THAT!!
    Anyway, if it is a dcr or a protected dxr, then you can use
    the code you
    were using to go to the movie or go to the frame you want in
    that movie.

  • I can't open the Lightroom 4 Mac upgrade.

    I downloaded the upgrade from Adobe and installed it on the computer.  Now when I try to open it I get the following error message:
    "You can't open the application Adobe Photoshop Lighroom 4 vecause it is not supported on this type of Mac."
    I have the Mac OS 10.6.8 operating system, so I think I am okay there.  The computer is a MacBook Pro Intel Core Duo.  I purchased it in 2006 I think.  Is it too old of a computer, or is there another problem?
    Thanks!
    Penney

    Unfortunately, I think your computer is too old. The minimum specification is for a 64 bit enabled Intel processor (i.e Core 2 Duo). The Core Duo is only 32 bit.  If you contact customer services they should be able to arrange a refund.

  • Can't Open Fireworks CS4 in Mac. Error Message

    Hello,
    I have had CS4 for 2 years almost and recently Fireworks won't open. When I click on the icon, I get this error message (below). I have updated by my Mac OS and Adobe updates with no success. I thought about uninstalling and reinstalling Fireworks, but it says I would need to deactivate my serial number from within Fireworks. Since I can't open Fireworks, I can't deactivate it - so presumably I wouldn't be able to reinstall it.
    All my other Adobe products are working fine - it's just this one.
    I operate Mac 10.6.7
    Any suggestions? I'm not a graphic designer, so if you're able to assist, pretend you're explaining to an 8 year-old! :-)
    Thank you kindly.
