Can't open project saved in iDVD4 on new Mac with iDVD 7.02

I used iDVD 4 (in OS 10.4) a great deal but recently upgraded my Mac to Leopard on a Mac Pro. I have now iLife08 installed with iDVD 7.02.
When I try to open an old iDVD project file I get the following error message:
"Changing the TV standard will require iDVD to encode all previously encoded assets again."
I checked and made sure that iDVD is set to PAL (by opening it on a blank project) and I know for a fact that the old projects were also PAL so there is NO change of TV standard. When I click OK on the dialogue box, iDVD quits.
Am I doing something wrong here? I cannot go back to the old version as iDVD4 and 5 report that they will not run on OS 10.5.6. (iMovie 4 will run). This seems an almost Microsoft like lack of file compatibility.
Any suggestions are very welcome.

After further investigation, I think it is a bug with iDVD7.
It will open an NTSC iDVD4 project with no problems. It is a PAL version that it chokes on. I suspect this is an example of the "NTSC default" mentality in the software where things are not tested enough for other standards. My default if iDVD7 is set to PAL but something is not working.
I went back to my old iDVD4 projects and then saved them as an archive, ie with all files and themes included. These files, even if PAL, would open in iDVD7.
Very strange.

Let me see if I've gotten this right! You want to remove an account from BOTH machines? Do this for your new machine first, then for the other.
Click the Apple logo on the top left of the screen, System Preferences, Users and Groups (under Systems), unlock the lock in the window if its locked (you need to know the password), select the user that you wish to remove, and click the - sign next to the + sign for Login options. A window will pop up with some options. Select Delete this user and securely, and click 'Delete user'.
After this, do an update from the App Store.
Thats all there is to it.
For the other machine repeat the process except for one thing. Before you delete the user in this case YOU, you will have to give Administrator priviledges to your son bu checking the box 'Allow user to administer this computer'.
Do NOT do anything from Finder ... if you dont know how to fix the consequences of the problems caused.
There is no need to unauthorize your iTunes account on your new machine. Do it on the old machine though.

Opening PC CS4 files using my new Mac with CS5

I finally switched over to a MacBook Pro, and purchased CS5 Master Suite for the Mac as well. However, I have been running CS4 on my PC for the last few years and have 1000's of files that were created in this format.
However, when I try to open these files created in Fireworks CS4 on my new software and machine, it will not let me do so.
Are there any steps or actions that I need to take to make these viewable and editable in CS5 Mac?
Please advise.....

I've not experienced this problem. Were the files ever opened and saved within Photoshop? Can you currently open one/any of the files in CS4 with no problems?

How can I virtualize Lion if I bought a new Mac with Lion preinstalled?

Hi folks. I read that you were allowed to virtualize 1 instance of Lion after purchasing Lion. How can I virtualize Lion if I don't have any install media with one of the new macs?

If you bought on of the new MacBook Airs or Mac Minis, you will have a short term problem as the you will not be able to download a fresh copy of the Installer. See my post here.
This problem should go away soon probably with 10.7.1
If onthe other hand you bought one of the oleder models and it came with Lion, then you can download another copy of the installer by:
Open the App store.
Hold down the option key while selecting "purchased"
Lion should now say "Install" rather than "Installed".
Click install to download a new copy of the Installer.
As soona s th installer automoatically opens after doqnloading, quit it
Save a copy of the installer from Applications.

How can I sync my iPhone music to my new Mac with out loosing my the music I already have in the phone?

Bought a new Mac and iTunes won't let me sync new music to my phone because I used to sync it in my old Mac. How can I sync with the new PC with out loosing the music I already have in my phone?

Copy everything from your old computer to your new one then sync.
Iphone will sync with one library/computer at a time. Syncing to another will indeed erase the current content.

Can't open Project Professional 2013 projects in SharePoint 2013

I can't open Project 2013 documents from SharePoint2013.
My environment is:
Project Professional 2013 32 bit
Office Professional 2013 32 bit
IE 9 32 bit
Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit
All other documents (Word, Excel) can be checked out and edited from SharePoint.
When I check out and edit a Project document I get the following error:
Project cannot open the file.
check that the file name a path are correct.
check that the file format is recognized by Project.
Also, I get the same error when trying to open a project document from a mapped SharePoint drive.
Note: This was working on a fresh install of Office 2013 and Project Professional 2013 UNTIL a windows update (Office 2013 SP 1 and other updates)
Am I missing an update?
Thanks!

Hi Ken,
I would try first to repair MS Project from the control panel to see if it fixes your issue.
Hope this helps,

iWorks has disappeared. How can I open document saved as Word 97 through Pages stored on Dropbox?

Thanks but I don't think this will help. Like I said, all of my add-ons were working fine and compatible until after running a previous version of FF. I am sure they are still compatible, but they are not working at all.
I even checked my profile folder and all of the extensions' data is all still there but FF5 is just not reading it correctly. (like adblock plus... I see the folder for it but FF5 doesn't have it on the add-on manager page when I run FF5)

Can't open messages saved on memory card

Hi, i've had my e63 for about 3 months, and all of a sudden during the day today it wouldn't open any messages saved on my memory card, i can still open images saved onto my memory card though.
I've done a backup with nokia pc suite, and ive formatted the memory card, reset the phone to factory settings, and then restored the data onto my phone, but i still can't open them. If i change the settings to use phone memory i can open messages that i receive. but i'd like to be able to open the messages on my memory card because some of them have sentimental value.
If anyone can help it'd be greatly appreciated.

It is sad that no one responded... been having the same issue myself and this is what I did:
On your device go to Options->Memory and make sure the following are set ON:
Media Card Support
Media Transfer Protocol (MTP)
Mass Storage Mode Support
Auto Enable Mass Storage Mode When Connected = Yes
And don't forget to save your settings (BB button->Save)
Now, when I connect my BB to my PC, I don't bother running Device Manager. I just plug in the Storm and after about 40 seconds, XP finds my two devices -- device memory and memory card -- as two separate drives. I had to set TAKE NO ACTION on XP to keep it from booting a few apps like X2Play, etc. But now it works flawlessly and I see ALL the predefined folder structure.
Hope this helps if you haven't gotten any help yet.

After updating os to 10.9.1can't open pdf files. I get a message saying It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn't recognise. I can still read older saved files but no new ones arriving by email. Any help would be appreciated.

After updating os to OSX 10.9.1 I can't open any new pdf files. I get a message saying It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn’t recognise. I can still read older saved files but no new ones arriving by email. Also can't attach a pdf to an email to send out. Any help would be appreciated.

Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to print by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar may appear under the cursor. Click the printer icon.
Step 2
There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
Step 3
If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and check the box marked
Allow Plug-ins
Then click
Manage Website Settings...
and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
Step 4
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
Step 5
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
Step 6
Do as in Step 4 with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

Document Creation error - "We're sorry. We can't open document name because we found a problem with its contents"

Morning Friends,
I have created a SharePoint 2010 "Site Workflow" that is designed to take information from a form and create a Word doc with the gathered information and store this Word doc in a document library.
I am using Sharepoint 2013 with Office 2013
I understand there are a lot of steps (19) outlined below and I can provide more information as needed but the bottom line is this, workflow successfully takes info from an initiation form, uses the info to create a Word doc. Places this Word doc in a library.
When attempting to open / edit doc, receive error
"We're sorry. We can't open <document name> because we found a problem with its contents"
Details - No error detail available.
Any info or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Very high level view of what I have done:
1 - Created content type called "Letters"
2 - Added site columns " First Name" and "Last Name"
3 - Created and saved to my desktop a very basic Word document (Letter.docx) that says "Hello, my name is XXXX XXXX"
4 - In the advanced settings of the "Letters" content type I uploaded this "Letter.docx" file as the new document template.
5 - Created a new document library called "Letters"
6 - In Library Settings - Advanced Settings, clicked "Yes" to enable the management of content types.
7 - Then I clicked "Add from existing content types" and added the "Letters" content type
8 - Back in the advanced settings of the "Letters" content type I selected "Edit Template" and replaced the first XXXX with the Quick Part "First Name" and the second XXXX with the Quick part "Last Name"
9 - Created a new 2010 Site workflow called "Create a Letter"
10 - To the workflow I added the action "Create List Item"
11 - Configured the action to create Content Type ID "Letters" in the document library "Letter"
12 - For the "Path and Name" I gave it a basic name of "Letter to"
13 - The next step was to create the Initiation Form Parameters and added to form entries "First Name" and "Last Name"
14 - I then linked the initiation form fields to the data source "Workflow Variables and Parameters" to their respective Field from Source parameters
15 - Went back to the "Path and Name" and modified the basic name of "Letter to" to include the first and last name parameters.
16 - Saved - published and ran the work flow.
17 - As expected, Initiation Form prompts for First and Last Name. ("John Doe") Then click "start
18 - Go to document library "Letters" and see a new Word document created titles "Letter to John Doe"
19 - Go to open / edit the Word document and receive the following error
thoughts? Any info or advice would be greatly appreciated.

See this MS support article for SP2010 workflows and generating Word docs:
https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2889634/en-us?wa=wsignin1.0
"This behavior is by design. The Create
List Item action in the SharePoint
2010 Workflow platform can't convert Word content type file templates to the correct .docx format."
I've had success in using SP 2013, Word 2013 (saving a .docx as the template instead of .dotx for the document library content type), and an SP 2010 workflow using SP Designer 2013.

Error while opening pdf in reader in windows 8:Can't open this file. There's a problem with file format

I have a problem with a pdf file which does not open with reader in windows 8 but it opens properly with adobe pdf reader. All other pdf can be opened in reader.But when i open a pdf(see this link for pdf for which i got error http://incometaxsoft.com/temp/Form.pdf)
it gives error as "Can't open this file. There's a problem with file format".
The same file opens properly in adobe pdf reader.You can check the pdf file which i have mentioned in the link above.But the reader which comes with windows 8 can open some other pdf in the same PC.What may be the error causing this??

This has turned out to be an enormous issue for me as I sell PDF files as ebooks. I have done a fair amount of investigating this for my system.
My files have to be compatible not just across readers but across operating systems.
To date, I have over 200 PDFs that have functioned flawlessly across Mac, PC (Windows 7 and below), Android, iPhone/iPad, Linux.
I personally test my PDFs using a variety of readers and PDF editors including
PDF XChange (my favorite)
Foxit (runner up for me and I recommend for most people)
Adobe (the bloated monster)
Nitro 9 (great for moving graphical elements around)
ABBYY
And the Nuance PDF Create toolsets
Those are off the top of my head. There are a bunch on Android that I test with too.
I am running the Windows 10 Pro Tech Preview and I have this same problem so I know it isn't fixed yet in any kind of pre-release way (-sigh-)
Here is what I've learned for my situation
The PDFs I created using NUANCE'S PDF CREATE PROFESSIONAL VERSION 8
all fail using the built-in Windows 8/10 PDF reader.
When I look at the PDF properties for these Nuance created files, the underlying engine used to write them is called "ImageToPDF". Using ABBYY it indicates their own engine as does everyone else that I've tried. It is easy for you to check to see
what created your PDF by doing a "Control D" (look at the document properties). Perhaps there's a common engine causing issues.
If I use the exact same source files to create a PDF using any of my other tools I have no issues. I checked the PDF versions made by the tools and they are all set to 1.5.
A customer mentioned being able to convert them in a way they worked by saving them without having to do any kind of extraction, but I have not been able to duplicate that. Perhaps he did a "print" which seems like it could work.
In summary, the workaround everyone is talking about, using an alternate reader, of course works. But not everyone wants to change.
The culprit I have found is my Nuance PDF Creation tools that are using the ImageToPDF engine.
I hope it gets FIXED as I really don't want to have to regenerate all of my PDF files.

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Note: Apple has removed over 90 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

Can't open secured documents on windows 7 domain client with mandatory profiles.

While opening certain PDF files we have the problem that the user is presented with a message that he does not have the rights permissions. This happens twice, after that the users gets an empty page with the message the Adobe version might not be up to date. We use Acrobat Pro 10, but this also happens while using Reader 11.0.8. On our windows 2008 terminal services machine this could be fixed by giving the user rights on c:\ to create and remove a file. :O. On windows 7 this doesn't work probably because of UAC. But we've tried every solution to that available on the internet, disabling uac, changing uac options, changing rights on userprofile folders, changing rights on c:\ but to no avail. When using process explorer we can see it wants to create a temp file p328hkl.tmp or something like that on C but it can't and immediattely after is shows the error on screen.
Anyone who also has this problem or solved it? There are no problems with simple self made pdf files/scans but only with certain types of pdf files for which it tries to create a tmp file.
Thanks,
Peter

Hi Brogers,
Thanks for your reaction. We do have AppData redirection in place. We redirect AppData to a share on our data server which works perfectly fine for all other applications. The weird thing is that Reader/Acrobat try to write to C:\ which to my knowledge should not happen, is this maybe a fallback because it can’t write to a different location? Users have full control on their own roaming AppData but not on their local AppData that is made by windows itself while copying the mandatory default profile to C:\.
I might use the wrong term while saying secured documents. I’m talking about a document created by Raet/Youforce a web application for personal administration. The documents can be opened by other viewers than Acrobat/Reader but then only contain the background and not the text. In Acrobat/Reader they do open normally when Acrobat/Reader can create the .tmp file. Otherwise it will not display the file at all. I would attach such a document to see but since it contains certain info I am not allowed to do so.
I hope we can work out a solution for this.

This is the last paragraph from my very first response to you, post #1 in this thread:
…Additionally, you need to install the DNG Converter, not just "download" it, and you need to launch it and run it on each folder of NEFs you wish to convert to raw DNGs. [emphasis added]
