Can't open .fir file type

I am trying to upgrade the firmware on my Canon camera.  The firmware file is a .fir file type.  I can't open/run this file on either Mac or Boot Camp running Windows.  Any help would be appreciated.

Are you sure that you are meant to open that on the computer? I shoot Nikon and I download firmware updates, copy them to the Card and insert that in the camera, never open them on the Mac.
Check the updating instructions. Just a guess.
Regards

  • Can't open .wmv file type

    HELP! I can't seem to open email attachments from friends when they're a .wmv.
    I've tried the drag into an open Safari window - no worky.
    I've downloaded the free version of FLIP4MAC - no worky.
    Have not downloaded Windows Media Player 9 for Mac yet (and really don't want to).
    Any ideas?????? Thanks in advance for any help!

    I'd suggest you use VLC (http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-macosx.html). It plays close to all file formats without problems and it's free. So except for the above mentioned case it will solve your problem.

  • Opening different file types

    Forms [32 Bit] Version 10.1.2.3.0 (Production)
    Hi
    How can you open different file types saved in the database as BLOBs using Webutil? I am capturing the filename and extension as well.
    The file types are: Excel Spreadsheets, MS Word, PDF, Mail Attachments (outlook)
    I am aware of web.show_document but using that, don't the files need to be on a server?
    I don't want to use javabeans, if that helps.
    thanks

    Hello,
    Webutil is enough ;-)
    <p>Replace the OLE Container C/S functionality with the Webutil library</p>

  • Type tool is giving me "can't open resource file"

    Hi everyone, this is frustrating.
    Everytime I choose the TYPE tool and click anywhere in the document i get a message "can't open resource file".
    Google search did not bring anything.
    Please, if anyone knows how to fix it.

    Make sure you install the 7.5.2 update patch, and try trashing your prefs. See Replace Your Preferences

  • I can't open pages files from USB and iCloud due to : "The necessary file index.xml is missing".

    I can't open pages files from USB and iCloud due to : "The necessary file index.xml is missing". Original file is written on iMac (2014) and saved to an USB stick and then transferred till macBook Pro (2009, Yosemite) for editing. Then I shared the files by iCloud but I am not able to open them on iMac again. Niether can I use the USB stick to transfer the edited files back. I'm running Pages '09 4,1 (923) on the macBook and Pges 5.5.2 (2120) on the iMac.

    Pages 5.5.2 is extremely incompatible with even other Macs let alone the vast majority of PC and MsWord users out there, so not a good idea to leap into the fire with both eyes shut.
    After having done that to the first Pages 5 files, Apple has repeatedly done it to even the most minor point updates. Apple can't even anticipate its own erratic changes let alone what everyone else needs doing.

  • Bridge 6 will not open common file types - e.g., jpeg, but CS6 has no problem with them

    I had had CS5.1 and CS6 on this PC. I uninstalled CS5.1; now, I can open common file types (eg.g, *.jpf, *.bmp) directly from CS6. However, Bridge 6 triggers an error message to the effect that "Windows cannot find (....\CS5.1) - in other words, Windows still wants to associate file types in Bridge *^* to CS 5.1 - not to CS6. As a result, bridge is effectively dead in the water.

    Yet another case of what happens when you uninstall an old version with a newer one present.
    The old version takes a lot of registry items with it on the way out, leaving empty pointers to itself rather than the new version still present. It's as if the old version uninstaller can't imagine the possibility of anything newer, so it just says to the OS "Photoshop is no longer installed". It's not just file associations, Lightroom users have reported similar problems with "Edit in Photoshop".
    Sometimes these pointers can be easily re-established, but more often a full uninstall/reinstall is needed, maybe with a run of the CC cleaner tool tossed in for good measure.
    This happens all the time, posts like this trickle through the forum at a steady state. I can't imagine why this has never been acknowledged, and why Adobe officials keep saying that it's perfectly safe to uninstall previous versions. It's not. Yes, it could well be that the bug, or whatever you prefer to call it, is ultimately in the Windows registry. But this happens with such solid regularity that some official recognition would be in order.
    The safe procedure is to always uninstall in strict reverse version order, then reinstall.

  • Can't open PNG files in PS CC

    Hi.
    I can't open png-files in PS CC. The following error message appears (Translated from Swedish): Can't fulfill your request because it's not the right type of document/file type.
    Can anyone help me with this, please?
    Thanks

    Okay I have gone over some common problems. I don't know what else it might be.
    Google "photoshop will not open png"  and see if there are some answers we might have both missed.

  • I can't open PDF File Attachments

    Hello,
    I use the environments Windows 7, MS Office 2010 and Adobe Reader 11.0.09.
    In the perferences on the categories Trust Manager I had actived the function: PDF File Attachments: Allow opening of non-PDF file attachments with external application
    Now I'm trying in a PDF document to open a Word or Excel file and get the error message: Acrobat can not open the file attachment Because your PDF file attachment setting do not allow this file type to be opened.
    And I can just open Word and Excel files.
    If I open the PDF file with Adobe Acrobat 11.0.09 then I can do that.
    Someone has a idea.
    Regards
    Erdem

    Hi Aadesh,
    I had actived the Trust Manager -> 'Allow opening of non-PDF file attachments with external application'  on Acrobat and Reader 11.0.09.
    I can open the non-PDF files with Acrobat but not with Reader.
    Regards

  • I'm recording video on JVC HD camera.Every 13:54 it starts a new file.I have one file that won't play.I get this message:Quick time player can't open (names file) because the movie's file format isn't recognized.  Only happens this one file.Ideas?

    I can't open one Quick Time movie file.  It says: Quick time player can't open (names file) because the movie's file format isn't recognized.  Only happens on this one file.  All the others of a two hour shoot are fine. 
    Any ideas what's happened and is there some way to open that file and retrieve what's on it? 

    Thanks this was useful. I have been ripping my audiobooks and I was finding that they would get uploaded to iCloud in the process, which in itself was fine, but then iTunes would not let me change the media type to Audiobook, which is annoying as it effects how iTunes treats the media. Like showing you the skip back 10 seconds button.
    The general outline here helped me work around the issue and change the media type before the media was re-uploaded to iCloud.

  • How to open the file types of iOSApp(ipa),EPUBFile(.epub) in windows 7(32 bit)

    How to open the file types of iOSAPP(ipa),EPUBfile(.epub) in windows 7(32 bit)

    iOS apps can be added to an iTunes library and thereafter transferred to an iOS device. They cannot be opened directly on a PC.
    epub files can be added to an iTunes library, and thereafter transferred to an iOS device where they can be read with the iBooks application. Files protected with Apple's DRM cannot be opened directly on a PC, though there are programs such as Kindle and Calibre that will open non-protected epub files.

  • Can't open my files.

    I just upgraded to Yosemite and the latest version of Pages.  Now I can't open my files on iCloud.  I get a message that says:  File type can't be opened.  Thoughts?

    Same for me. I can open them on the iCloud beta web app, but not on regular pages. Everything is updated to the latest OS X and Pages version.

  • How to define the application to use for opening each file type (pdf, jpg,...)

    I installed an external application, and this new application has been configured by defect that it will be used to open all files with extensions like jpg, pdf, etc...
    I want to revert this situation and define again the proper application I want to use for opening each file type. How can I do this in Lion?
    Thanks,
    Azaldier

    Pick a representative file.
    Get info. (Command-i)
    There you will see a place "Open with" where you can select the application for that file.
    Hit the "Change all..." button to do this for all files of this type.

  • Do you want to use RarGenie to open this file type??

    The short answer is NO!
    Another user of my laptop (honest) downloaded some software that changed our default search engines to searchmoose.
    I deleted the app, the accompanying "Install Mac" folder in the applications and reset all the search engines.
    Everything now seems fine, except for when I download a Rar file, I get a popup window asking "Do you want to use RarGenie to open this file type??"
    I've ran a CalmXav scan which came back with nothing. I've followed the instructions for others who have had similar issues, but still have the issue. I've even allowed RarGenie to try and expand a folder, then used AppCleaner to remove all accompanying files, but I still have the issue.
    Is there anything else I can try?

    Thanks!
    That seems to have sorted it.
    I'd tried all the stuff on that page and run AdwareMedic before, but it didn't pick up anything.
    I ran it again this morning and it found 3 files which, once removed, stopped the annoying prompt.
    Your advice is much appreciated.

  • Can't open .jsp files on my mac from a citrix link

    I can't open any .jsp files on my mac. It's from a citrix site for work but it doesn't recognize how to open it at all. It downloads to launch-10.jsp but nothing happens. When you try to open it, it says it doesn't recognize the file type.

    Go to the App store and download The Unarchiver. Its free and will open most file types.
