Can't open files from download bar

I use Google Chrome as my default browser and it annoys me how I cannot open files I've downloaded from the download bar.
When I try to click "Show File in Finder" it doesn't seem to work also.
Oh, and when I receive files from Skype, I can't seem to click the eye button to open the file.
Currently using a 15" MacBook Pro with Retina Display with OS X 10.9.2
Anyone know how to fix this issue? Thank you.

If those functions are internal to those Apps, you'll have to ask Google how to fix it.
However, you might try Repairing Permissions in Disk Utility. It sounds like it might be one of those rare situations that might be helped by that tool.
If it is not internal to those things, please describe what you mean by the "download bar" and the "eye button."

  • Can't open files from iCloud Drive on Mac

    Hi,
    Can't open file from iCloud Drive on my MacBook Air (OS X 10.10.1).
    I created new file (in Numbers for example). Then Numbers->File->Open->iCloud Drive->my_file.numbers and it says "Can't open file my_file.numbers".
    I can preview the file by pressing Space, but openning from application and double-click on it doesn't work.
    Files that were created earlear also not opened.
    Does anybody know how to solve this problem? thanks.

    Using smtp.mail.me.com - also tried smtp.me.com
    SSL yes
    port 587
    SMTP Authentification Yes
    Security SLS/TLS - also tried STARTTLS
    User full **@me.com email address - also tried user name without @me.com
    I have spoken to apple support this afternoon and we tried the variations shown above.
    Support told me to wait for a day and try again!
    After the iCloud authentication problem last night I changed all my passwords I wonder if there is an SMTP problem at me.com perhaps not reading the updated passwords?
    I'll try and use the old passwords later.

  • Can't open files from my e-mail

    can't open files from my e-mail. How to fix it?

    Hi Boxergirl,
    Did you happen to install anything else, or make any other changes to your system. I'm flummoxed how signing up for an online service could affect file associations. Here are the steps for resetting file associations on Windows 8.1: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wiki/windows8_1-desktop/windows-81-how-to-set-a nd-restore-file/16c2e10d-ec99-4fee-8f56-b87c4338e006
    Please let me know how it goes.

  • Can't drop files from Downloads or Documents folder on the dock to any other Finder window

    I have been downloading some files and dragging/dropping them into another folder for the last 30 minutes or so. They're downloading to the default Downloads folder, and then I've been dragging them from that folder in the Dock, which opens like a fan, and dropping them into another folder (my Documents folder) in an open Finder window.
    All of a sudden, I can't drop files from the Downloads fan anywhere else. I also tested, and can't drop files from my Documents folder or my Screenshots folder, two other folders that are on the right side of my dock and open up like a fan.
    I can drag them, but when I hover over the folder that I want to drop them into, nothing happens. If I let go, they just stay in their original folder (the Downloads folder).
    So basically something happened with the folders on the right side of the dock that's not letting me drop the files anywhere else from the Dock. If I open the folders in their own Finder window, I can drag/drop just fine. It just won't let me do it from the Dock as I had been.
    Any ideas? I've tried restarting as well as sleeping/waking as I saw recommended on here, but no luck.

    Open Finder, press Option key, select Go > Library, open Preferences, delete com.apple.dock.plist and reboot

  • Can't Copy Files from Downloads to Time Capsule

    Hi all, this is my first post so please be gentle.
    I am experiencing a rather interesting problem with my Time Capsule. Currently it is accesed by 2 macs daily (an iMac and a Mac Pro) and we both access the files on the time capsule simultaneously (obviously not the same files, but we plunk around in there at the same time).
    The other user on the network sometimes (read: not always) has a problem copying a file from downloads (lately it was a .pdf file) into the time capsule--the file will drag over, act like it is being copied, and then we hear the bong sound that Macs make when they paste something over. The file name will flash and then go away. Nothing is in the folder.
    I have tried to copy to another folder to no avail, as well as disconnect from the Time Capsule and then reconnect. Nothing seems to solve the problem. We CAN however open the file from downloads and perform a Save As, placing it in the folder we would like it to be in. When we do that, it works like a charm.
    Obviously we can work around it but it gets to be a bit tedious to have to Save As all the time. I appreciate any and all help! Thanks!

    This exact problem popped up recently.. i will need to go back and look at the post.
    I need more info.
    What OS level are on both Macs?? Your listed OS is 10.6.7. Is that still the case? Is it the same on both Macs?
    When you copy a file over, can the other Mac find it, even if the original one cannot?
    I hope you are using a new directory you created for this file sharing.. Can you remember which Mac created the directory?? Can you try creating a new directory from the Mac with issues and see if the problem still exists.. I feel sure the issue is some permissions thing.. but I can remember the previous thread suggested it wasn't.
    I also want you to look in the TC log when this happens and see if there is an AFP disconnection or some other issue coming up at that moment.

  • Can't open files from Bridge in CS6

    All was good with CS6 until today - it will not open files from Bridge. Jpg and RAW, neither will open, it's driving me bananas! Any suggestions?
    Edit: Problem solved. I had overlooked an old version of PS 7.0 was still in my program files and CS6 Bridge had picked it up as default editor. Deleted PS 7.0 and everything is back to normal. Phew!

    Lots of questions here, will see what I can add.
    For the file problem go to preferences/file type associations.  You should have the option selected CS6 for the extenstion as the default.  Might try the radio button on the bottom first to set them to default settings.
    If the 1.77g file you are refering to is the one you downloaded and used for installation you can delete it.  It is a wise choice to save it to a DVD first so in case you need it in the future you will have it.  Also save the serial number in safe place.  Acutally safe is not the right word, need to save in place where you can find it if you need it next year.  HD can fail.
    There are still thrid party plug-ins that do not work in 64 bit mode, hence the 32 bit version.  Also there is no 64 bit TWAIN so some still like to use that for scanning.
    Some users experience file association and other problems with an uninstall of past versions.  So it is safest to leave them be.
    If you want to clean up a little resist the urge to move any Adobe programs once is is installed.  Can really foul it up.

  • I can't open Safari from the bar at the bottom

    Can anyone help please.  I am not able to open the Safari from the bar at the bottom, I get a message saying that Safari quit unexpectedly & it instructs me to Reopen but when I click on the button the same message appears.  I have also been unable to open PDF documents & wonder if this is related to downloading the Lion OS?
    Thanks
    Renee

    I am not able to open the Safari from the bar at the bottom
    Hi Renee ..
    That "bar" is referred to as the Dock.
    Drag the Safari icon straight up off the Dock. It will go "poof" ...
    Now try launching Safari from your Applications folder. If you have moved the Safari app from the Applications folder, you need to drag it back.
    As for PDF documents, go to   ~/Library/Internet PLug-Ins
    Move the Adobe PDF Browser plug in to the Trash.
    Try Safari.
    ~ (Tilde) character represents the Home folder.
    For Lion:   To find the Home folder in OS X Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and choose Go > Library

  • PAGES 09 CAN'T OPEN FILE FROM PAGES APP IPAD IOS 1.7

    Hi,
    This morning I was trying to open a file from the iCloud window of my Pages 0.9 - 4.2  on my iMac (Os 10.8.3) when I did so the window told me that I needed a new version of Pages and it sent my to the appstore, pointing to Pages 09 4.3.
    I was shocked...another 17 euro to buy the some software I already have!!! Anyway...I was in a rush so I had to buy it...I tried to do so but the AppStore didn't want to sell it to me! It said: "This app is already istalled on your Mac, check for updates". Of course there were no updates to be downloaded...so I'm here asking for you help!
    Thank you!
    PS: the file I was trying to open had been created a few hours erlier on my iPad (updated to the latest IOS, 1.7)

    Go to this page http://www.apple.com/support/pages/ and look at the right side. There are links to iWork 9.3. Doenload it and update. Hopefully it will work.

  • IOS pages can't open files from Dropbox.

    Anyone have this issue? I created some pages files from pages for Mac. Then they're shared via Dropbox.
    And then I tried to open from pages for iOS via Dropbox,
    But it shows "documents can't be imported. " it's saying that the document was created by unsupported application version.
    Anyone?

    I can add a bit more on what I have discovered about this problem.
    *  Pages documents created with Pages 4.3 on my iMac can go into Dropbox and work fine on my iPad and iPhone.
    *  Pages documents created with Pages 5.1 on my iMac can go into Dropbox but they won't open on my  iPad or iPhone  (a message comes up that shows the title and size of the document but it does not open.
    *  I used Time Machine to bring back my Pages 4.3 (told it to also keep Pages 5.1).  I copied the text from the Pages 5.3 document that would not open on the iPad and put it into a new document created with Pages 4.3.  I dragged it to Dropbox and it opened on the iPad or iPhone.
    So I conclude it is not just a Dropbox problem.  Pages 5.1 still needs work from Apple.

  • How can I open files from Appleworks and Pages 4.3 in Mavericks?

    I have documents I created in Appleworks and Pages 4.3 that I can't open in Pages 5.1 using Mavericks.  How can I open those files?

    Mavericks is the Operating System (OSX).
    LibreOffice [free] may be able to open your AppleWorks files but probably not perfectly.
    Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but will alter/damage them.

    Why not rename them?

  • Can't open file from Bridge CS6 in PS CS6

    From Bridge CS6, my files open in Windows Photo Viewer or Live Photo Gallery.  When I go to "Open with" on the File menu PS CS6 is not an option.  I know this has to be simple but it is driving me nuts and I can't get my photos to open in PS when I double click on one of my tens of thousands of photos. 
    I just bought CS6 yesterday.  Also, do I need to keep the Adobe CS6 file that is on my desktop, or can I delete it now that the program is loaded?  It is 1.77 GB.  If I even need to reload PS, I can do it from the store on my account, right?  Same for the Adobe file that is on my desktop from the LR4 download a couple of months ago.  Also, I left PS6 checked on the download for 64 and the regular PS.  I have windows 7 so I only need 64 bit.  Why is the other PS CS6 (non 64) there?  Do I need it?  Should I uninstall it?  Also, should I uninstall CS4 and CS5?  They are all still sitting there, along with LR3 (I use LR4 now).  I have huge and multiple hard-drives, so space is not a consideration.  But I just want to clean up a little.

    Lots of questions here, will see what I can add.

    Hi,
    the .Net 2.0 framework is an application layer which is only used with Microsoft Windows !
    Therefor the zip file you have seems to also be for Windows only and can not be run in OSX.
    If you are running the CoH game while in Windows, you can download the .Net framework from here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=0856eacb -4362-4b0d-8edd-aab15c5e04f5
    Later versions of the .Net framework can be found, when scrolling down on that website.
    As said you can only use this when running Windows on your Mac, not in OSX.
    Regards
