Can't view .aspx file

Hi,
I am trying to download the syllabus for a class I am taking. I never had a problem looking at it before but now when I click the link, it shows in the download window and then a message pops up that says:
(“downloadsyllabus-7.aspx” may be an application. It was downloaded from the Internet and will be opened by Safari. Are you sure you want to open it?)
I click on open, and then it shows a list of downloads and in a separate screen, safari opens with a blank screen so I double-click on downloadsyllabus.aspx in the download list and a box pops up that says:"Convert file" with a list of ways to convert it but none of them work.
Any suggestions?

If you gave us a link to where you download it from, we could probably tell what format it is in, assuming a password is not necessary to enter it in the first place. If there is a password, ask the author of the syllabus what format they saved the document from. Sometimes they might use Microsoft Excel.
In which case, http://www.neooffice.org/ 's software would be a good option.

  • Since I have Yosemite on my iMac I can't view PDF files in Safari anymore.  It keeps telling me to upgrade my Adobe Reader, but it is the latest version.  Please help?  I don't have this problem on my Macbook that does not have Yosemite installed.

    Since I have Yosemite on my iMac I can't view PDF files in Safari anymore.  It keeps telling me to upgrade my Adobe Reader, but it is the latest version.  Please help?  I don't have this problem on my Macbook that does not have Yosemite installed.

    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 or save PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to do so by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar should appear under the cursor. Click the printer or disk 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 by pressing 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.

  • Can't view pdf files in gmail (OS 5.01)

    Since I have installed OS 5.1 I can't view pdf files in my gmail account. I can view them on yahoo (same email) or with the previous OS.  I just download 5.01 a week ago so I am not sure if I missed something for settings or if I need to change something because my search has not discovered anyone else having an issue. 
    Thanks!

    Yes, I can view emails it is the PDF files I can't download or view.  In OS 4 I could touch the attachment and it would open up, now when I touch the attachment it just tries to download.  This is for all PDF files in gmail.

  • After downloading a pdf from a website, how can I view the file in Safari 6.0.4 (just as I can in Safari 5.0.6)?  I bet that it's simple, but I've missed something, somewhere, and a solution will be greatly appreciated.

    After downloading a pdf from a website, how can I view the file in Safari 6.0.4 (just as I can in Safari 5.0.6)?  I bet that it's simple, but I've missed something, somewhere, and a solution will be greatly appreciated.

    Hello Kirk,
    Thank's for your efforts, and I just wish that this was the solution.  Unfortunately, it isn't because, after double-clicking on the pdf in the website, it simply "opens" in another Safari window as a black screen - the pdf is there, somewhere, but not visible (either as an icon, or as a document). 
    When I right-click in the black Safari window, where the file is supposed to be, the only option available to display the file is to "Open file in Internet Explorer" (which is not what I want to do).  Other options include saving or printing the pdf, which I don't want until I've confirmed that it's the form that I want.  The same options are offered if I right-click on the file icon in the website.
    Any other suggestions, please?

  • How Can I View DVD Files?

    My guitar instructor shoots a short video (usually 5min or less) at the end of every lesson to help me review what we learned.  While these DVDs play just fine on my iMac, I'd like to copy them sometimes over to my iPad so I can view them when I'm travelling.  I can handle copying them over to my iPad, but have run into a major stumbling block: 
    When I open the double click the DVD on my desktop, it opens a Finder window.  (Good so far!).  But, the Finder window is empty (not so good!). It shows zero items in the status bar.  Obviously, there are files there, as the DVD plays just fine...I'm just not able to view them.
    Any idea what I need to do in order to view the contents of the disk in order to convert the video over to my iPad?
    I'm attaching a couple of files so you can see what I'm seeing:
    The above Finder window is what I see after double clicking the DVD on my desktop.
    When I Get Info about the DVD, I see the below information:
    Any idea what's going on, and what I need to do?

    Barny,
    Thanks...I must be getting old!  I'd tried a couple of DVD ripping software apps I had laying around, and neither worked.  Thinking there must be something else I need to do, I posted this question.
    After reading your answer, I went back and looked (closer!) at my applications, and realized I'd forgotten all about RipIt.  I launched Ripit, and it was able to rip the DVD (and compress it for playback on my iPad) with no problem.
    It's still disconcerting that I can't view any files on the DVD in the Finder, but it is what it is, I guess.
    Thanks again for jogging my memory!

  • Can't view .mov file with quicktime

    Hello. I need help viewing a .mov file with Quicktime 7.5. It was recorded on a Canon Vixia HV30 camcorder and given to me on a dvd. But when I try to view the .mov file with Quicktime, I can hear the audio but the screen is black. Sometimes, it asks me to continue to the following link:
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/resources/components.html?os=Windows&ctype=696d64 63&csubtype=69636f64
    I'm not that computer savvy - what is wrong? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    Sorry. My "then" (above) should have been "they".
    They sent you a data DV containing the "source" from the camera and the HDV codec isn't available on your PC so you can't view the file.
    Ask the authors to convert the file using H.264 Video codec (or others) so your Windows version of QuickTime can play the file.

  • Can I view .WMV files with 10.7?

    Can I view .wmv files with OS 10.7.2?

    Mac OS X has no native ability to view WMV files, but you can download and install the free codecs from Flip4Mac:
    http://dynamic.telestream.net/downloads/download-flip4macwmv.htm
    and use QuickTime Player. Note that not all WMV codecs have been ported to Mac, nor has the copy protection system, so not all videos will work.

  • How can clients view video file that I upload to my Creative Cloud area?

    How can clients view video files that I upload to my Creative Cloud area?  Is there a special password that they have to use to gain access?
    Thanks for any guidance.
    Dave

    As a video professional, i agree and am VERY disappointed with this policy.  I attended CC presentations at various conventions, film festivals and meetups for a year-and-a-half before I made the leap to CC, and no one EVER mentioned a restriction to transferring video files.
    Whether it's to save storage space or not, that's how it APPEARS to the end user.  Anybody who knows ANYthing about how video pirates commit their crime (which it most-certainly is), knows that there are plenty of FREE, untraceable (or nearly-anonymous) resources to carry it out.  The need for anyone to pay $30 or more per-month to do it with an acct that has their info attached to it is ludicrous!  If anything it's CONTRIBUTING to piracy to encourage creatives to transfer their material to collaborative parties using a less-secure, more heavily-trafficked third-party service than the one they're paying for exclusive use for.
    Adobe's policy makers need to review this restriction and remove it or provide ANOTHER reason why it exists because this one doesn't fly.  And if it continues, make sure a disclaimer gets inserted in CC pitch presentations because likely half of the attendees are working with video.

  • Can not view .xml files

    I am working with office 2013. I was able to open the .xml files in office 2010, it opened in IE 9 just fine. Now I am using 2013, IE 11... How can I view the .xml files?

    Hi
    Jedi_Administrator,
    Is there any error message when you open XML file in Office 2013 or IE 11?
    XML file is supported by Office 2013 and IE 11.0.
    More reference:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc179191(v=office.15).aspx
    If it’s convenient, you’d better upload a XML file to OneDrive and share the file link here. I’ll analyze this issue as soon as
    getting it.

  • Can't view raw files in Adobe Bridge CS4

    Hi,
    I bought a new iMac OS X version 10.8.5 . I have a Canon 5d Mark ii and I shoot in RAW. I installed CS4.. I also downloaded the newest version of the camera raw plug-in (5.7). I placed the plug-in in applications--> adobe photoshop CS4 -->plug-ins--> file formats.
    In Bridge, I can only view the grey thumbnail that says CR2. I can click on it and it'll open up into camera raw where I can edit some and then open it into photoshop. I want to be able to view the images in bridge to know which ones I want to open up in camera raw. Also, when I right click on the thumbnail there isn't an option that says "open in camera raw".
    Should I also place the camera raw plug-in in the applications-->Adobe Bridge-->plug-ins?
    When I click on about plug-ins on photoshop, it's showing me 2 camera raw plug-ins.. version 5.0 and version 5.7. I can't find 5.0 to delete?
    Thanks

    If you just go to Help>Updates, Bridge should take care of this for you, unless you've managed to get multiple copies of the plug-in into the folder. If you manually installed things, check to see that there is only one plug-in there, then let Bridge do it for you.

  • Can Not Open ASPX Files In Dreamweaver CC ?

    I just upgraded from Dreamweaver CS6 to Dreamweaver CC and now can no longer double click to open ASPX files.

    Or, is there something I need to install or edit in order for it to work again?

    You can apply the default file association in windows. Follow http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows-vista/change-which-programs-windows-uses-by-def ault
    Also, you can try adding it in DW preferences.
    1) Go to Preferences < File Types/Editors.
    2) Click on the "+" icon on left Column and add the extension you need.
    3)  Click on the "+" icon on right column and add the Editor as Dreamweaver. Locate the Dreamweaver.exe file installed at "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CC".
    4) Click on Make Primary Button and Click OK.
    5) Close DW and re-launch.
    I hope this helps
    Thanks
