Cannot open drawer on left to view folders
I have tried to open it by clicking on the button in the centre of the left side. This shows the two opposing arrows which usually allow one to widen a column.I read that by quitting iPhoto and then opening the User folder you can access the Preferences. My problem is where and how do I open this User folder.Sorry for being so dense!
When you see the double-arrow cursor click and +drag to the right+. It seems more intuitive to drag left, but it actually opens in toward the main window, not out away from it.
To delete your pref file use the Finder to navigate to Macintosh HD/ Users/ (your user name)/ Library/ Preferences/ com.apple.iPhoto.plist. Move that file to the trash, then launch iPhoto and see it your Source Pane is back. You'll have to reset the Preferences in iPhoto back you your liking.
Regards.

Cannot open Language settings from Tile view, and unable to install Language packs from WSUS.
Hi all,
I have a bunch of Windows 2012 R2 servers that have been deployed from a syspreped image where the language has been defaulted to "en-GB", rather than the default "en-US".
I also have a WSUS 3 server running on a Windows 2008r2 machine. This tells me that a number of language packs are required by these 2102r2 machine, namely:
KB2839636 - English (United Kingdom) Language Pack
KB2839636 - English (United States) Language Pack
KB3012997 - English (United Kingdom) Language Pack
KB3012997 - English (United States) Language Pack
These have been approved to be installed on the 2012r2 machine, however, running Window Update on the machines shows nothing. Opening the Control panel, then navigating to "Add Language", then "options", shows no additional updates.
The I tried to search and run the languages control panel directly from the Windows Tile view by simply typing "language" and clicking the 'Language' option in the search results, but then get the following error dialogue box:
[Window Title]
C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Packages\windows.immersivecontrolpanel_cw5n1h2txyewy\LocalState\Indexed\Settings\en-GB\Classic_{bf782cc9-5a52-4a17-806c-2a894ffeeac5}.settingcontent-ms
[Content]
Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.
The issue I have here is that I am logged on with the Domain Admin profile, but the path above refers to the local admin profile - however the file listed has full permissions for all 'Administrators'.
So I have two questions:
How should the Language pack updates get installed from WSUS?
How do I fix the problem with trying to open the Language option direct from the tile search view?
Many thanks
ChrisMight try these ones.

Cannot open files from USB external harddrive in XP
Used this same harddrive in previous iMac OSX10.4 / Windows XP computer and it worked perfectly. Also used in computer labs for Macs and Windows at school. Never any problems. Fresh new Macbook pro and XP PRO install and while in XP the drive is visible but you cannot open a file directly from the folders in windows explorer. You can however drag a file to the desktop and it will open it there. There is something in the file path which XP / bootcamp is not liking? Files open perfectly from my XP on my HP. Ideas?
Went into administrative/disk management and poked around. Just changed drive letters and all is OK. Thanks anyway.

"Help viewer cannot open this content"
In iPhoto '09 Help window I would get the following error message when I tried viewing any topic:
"Help viewer cannot open this content"
Problem solved with help from "Apple Expert" phone support following these steps:
1. reboot in safe mode - I think this clears system cache and runs a disk repair utility
2. reboot
3. delete ~/Library/Caches
4. empty trash
5. log out
6. log back in
7. empty trash
Apparently the problem was caused by a corrupt cached file.This worked for me.
From http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/helpviewer.html#Anchor-Reset-35882
Quit Help Viewer if it is open. Leopard users should click the red Close button in the upper-left corner of the Help Viewer window. Users of Tiger and earlier can press the Command-Q (Quit) keyboard shortcut.
Trash the following three files in your Home > Library > Preferences folder, if extant:
* com.apple.help.plist
* com.apple.helpui.plist
* com.apple.helpviewer.plist
Trash the following two folders in your Home > Library > Caches folder, if extant:
1. com.apple.helpui folder
2. com.apple.helpdata
Empty the Trash.
Test that Help Viewer is now operating normally.

After upgrading to iPhoto 11 and the latest upgrade 9.4.1 (701 67) I cannot open any Event. The normal double click does not work, nor anything else I have tried. The only way I can view the photos in an Event is to make an Album of it, and then I can easily open it with a double click and edit and delete, arrange photos etc. Anyone have this problem. Any ideas about how to open an event?
Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
(On 10.7: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
(Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
What's the plist file?
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101. -
I have moved a copy of the domain.sites file to a new machine as described in many other posts. Within iWeb I can access the single pages of my site but cannot open any of the folders. If I click "get info" on the domain.sites file I know all the information is there by the file size.
Suggestions?To eliminate the application as the culprite (or confirm it), move you domain.sites file out of your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and to the Desktop. Then launch iWeb and create a new site when asked. Can you click on the site's folder and see the window as well as what's in the Inspector window?
If you can't then a reinstall of iWeb is warranted. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/ folder,
Click to view full size
If the new domain file is good then your existing domain file is damaged. There is one more possible fix but make a backup copy of your domain file first.
That is to try Koeklin's fix from his post in this topic: Topic : can't open a domain.sites.2. Although for a different problem it might jump start the domain file. . -
Cannot open folders in NEW WINDOW
Is anyone else having trouble with the Finder not opening folders in a new window? I have gone to Finder preferences, and unchecked the box for "Open Folders in a new tab..." But I still cannot open my folders in a new window. I have thousands of folders, and some are set to open in icon view, some in list view, etc. depending on the contents. But now all that has disappeared. Any suggestions???
As others have said.....first, go to Finder > Preferences and make sure the checkbox is deselected for "open folders in tabs instead of new windows".
Any folder can be opened in a new window by holding down the Command Key while double-clicking the folder. But sooner or later you will forget to hold down that key, and then a folder will open in a tab (which will probably resize the window and cause much aggravation and cursing).
If you're like me and don't like tabs very much, there is a way to make folders always open in windows with a simple double-click. (I'm using Mavericks 10.9.5). Go to any folder on the Desktop, open it, and select View > Hide Toolbar. After that, all folders within that folder will open in a new window. I tried this with the Macintosh HD Folder (which I put on my Desktop) and all folders within it open in new windows with only a double-click.
Of course, you will lose the sidebar and the toolbar, so it's not a perfect solution, but at least you'll be done with tabs. -
I am using the 30-day trial and have 4 days left. My problem is threefold - 1) I cannot open or see my timeline and don't wish to start over again; it's 15 minutes long - video, photos and audio. 2) My timeline has disappeared, so can't edit further 3) Need best way to export to DVD or my MacBook Pro laptop - don't know which settings/items to choose.
I would appreciate it very much if Apple Support would extend my 30-day trial. I am working on this project for a Multimedia classroom project at Randolph Community Collge, and am also unemployed so can't afford to buy just yet. PLEASE help!Ok, Tom, I completed the first three steps and everything went fine. However, I still don't have a timeline, AND above is a screenprint of my timeline and what I presume is meant by the PROJECT. There is no project. Now, I can go up to the Event window and Export XML, but it doesn't give me a usable file. So, first, am I correct re: terminology - the timeline/bottom section is also known as the project folder/manager??
I've been reading other users strings as well and have tried their tricks as well. For instance, Eric Martin re: his deleting preference files (6/6), and Norman Jayo's (4/25) lengthy discourse with the "here is the work around" w/ 7 steps. Again, he mentions closing the PROJECT that is corrupted. I'm not sure that mine is corrupt as I can play and see my 15-minute audio/view in the view module (upper right).
So, back to the beginning... -
Outlook 2010: "Cannot open your default e-mail folders..."
When I open Outlook 2010 I receive the message: "Cannot open your default email folders. There is not enough memory to perform the operation.", after which the program closes. This is on a network running SBS 2003, with about 25 users, and I
am the only with this problem. System resources on the exchange server are fine, so I can only imagine a disk usage quota has been exceeded somewhere. Storage limits for my account looked fine. I've tried restarting exchange services, restarting
the server itself, restarting my desktop, etc etc, to no avail.
This specific problem just started yesterday, but I've been having memory issues for months now. Usually, the Send and Receive dialogue will tell me that there are not enough resources on the server, but mail comes and goes just fine. It's never
simply refused to let me open outlook before, like it is now.
I also tried logging in through another computer and using Outlook 2003, which actually let me open the program, but did not sync mail properly.
Also, we use cached exchange mode, so I tried creating a new ost file, but no dice.
Anyone know what the deal might be?Hi,
I agree with Don’s guess of damaged PST file or MAPI profile. Analyzed your description(sync mail improperly on another computer and using cache mode), this problem might occur when your Outlook messaging profile includes a Microsoft Exchange account
that is configured to Use Cached Exchange Mode, and you have lots of cached public folders. Usually, this problem occurs when you exceed approximately 1,000 public folders, or a gigabyte of space is taken.
To prevent this problem, keep the number of cached public folders to fewer than 1,000. Or, reduce the number of folders until the error or errors stop occurring. If you are experiencing this problem, delete some public folder favorites by using the Outlook
client. In some cases, if you have too many favorites, you may be unable to delete the folders because the error occurs when you click the public folder favorites folder.
To delete the public folder favorites, follow these steps:
1.Download MFCMAPI from http://mfcmapi.codeplex.com.
2.Run MFCMAPI.exe.
3.On the Session menu, click Logon and Display Store Table.
4.If you are prompted for a profile, select your profile name, and then click OK.
5.In the top pane, locate the line that corresponds to your mailbox, and double-click it.
6.In the navigation pane (left-side pane), expand Root - Mailbox, and select the Shortcuts folder.
7.In the results pane (right-side pane), locate the PR_FOLDER_CHILD_COUNT properties. The value contains the number of public folder favorites.
8.In the navigation pane, right-click the Shortcuts folder, and then select Empty Items and Subfolders from Folder.
9.Keep the default options, and then click OK.
Good Luck.

I have a new iPad3 and have found I cannot open the month of March 2013 when I tap on it. All other months open OK ! I can see March 2013 in the yearly view and I can open the individual days, and weeks, of March 2013 but I cannot see the whole month in the monthly view. When I try to open the monthly view for March 2013 it returns me to the start screen which shows all the apps etc and closes the Calendar app. Any guidance of what is going wrong and how it can be corrected. Thanks !

I cannot open pdf files from one supplier when using Adobe Reader but I can using another Viewer
I cannot open pdf files from one supplier when using Adobe Reader but I can open it if using Google PDF viewer or another viewer. The Adobe reader gives the error "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired" when I try to open the file. The version of Adobe Reader is 10.1.7, however I have tried other versions and they all fail the same way. I have tested on a number of different PC's in different networks and all fail using Adobe Reader but work using alternate viewer. Also the PC's will open a PDF from any other source.
Newer Reader versions are more strict than older versions (and other PDF viewers). If certain minimum requirements are not met, Reader will tell you that the PDF is damaged. This can happen when a document was created with software that does not adhere to PDF standards, or when the file was damaged during a download or email transmission.
You should contact the creator of these PDFs. -

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I have seen previous versions mentioned in a pop up message before on iCloud.com, but I'm not really sure at all how it would help, as I couldn't get it to do anything.
The best advice I have at this time is to back up your work on your iOS device by regularly saving it to iTunes, if anything goes wrong you can then either load it into the numbers app again on the device or recover it via iTunes on your computer.
My syncs are immediate, I never get chance to see if it works in the background, sorry. -

Fresh installation of Exchange Server 2013 on Windows Server 2012.
Our first test account cannot access their email via Outlook but can access fine through OWA. The following message appears - "Cannot open your default e-mail folders. You must connect to Microsoft Exchange with the current profile before you can synchronize
your folders with your Outlook data file (.ost)" is displayed.
If I turn off cached Exchange mode, setting the email account to not
cache does not resolve the issue and i get a new error message - "Cannot open your default e-mail folders. The file (path\profile name).ost is not an Outlook data file (.ost). Very odd since it creates its own .ost file when you run it for the first
time.
I cleared the appdata local Outlook folder and I tested on a new laptop that has never connected to Outlook, same error message on any system.
Microsoft Exchange RPC Client Access service is running.
No warning, error or critical messages in the eventlog, it's like the healthiest server alive.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I haven't encountered this issue with previous versions of Exchange.So it looks like a lot of people are having this issue and seeing how Exchange 2013 is still new (relatively to the world) there isn't much data around to answer this. I've spend ALOT of time trying to figure this out.
Here is the answer. :) - No I don't know all but I'm going to try to give you the most reasonable answer to this issue, in a most logical way.
First thing I did when I was troubleshooting this issue is that I ignored Martina Miskovic's suggestion for Step4 http://technet.microsoft.com/library/jj218640(EXCHG.150)because it didn't make sense to me because I was trying to connect
Outlook not outside the LAN but actually inside. However, Martina's suggestion does fix the issue if it's applied in the correct context.
This is where the plot thickens (it's stew). She failed to mention that things like SSL (which I configure practically useless - anyone who ever worked in a business environment where the owner pretty much trusts anyone in the company, otherwise they don't
work there - very good business practice in my eyes btw, can confirm that...) are some sort of fetish with Microsoft lately. Exchange 2013 was no exception.
In exchange 2003, exchange 2007 and exchange 2010 - you could install it and then go to outlook and set it up. And when outlook manual Microsoft Exchange profile would ask you for server name, you would give it and give the name of the person who you setting
up - as long as machine is on the domain, not much more is needed. IT JUST WORKS! :) What a concept, if the person already on premises of the business - GIVE HIM ACCESS. I guess that was too logical for Microsoft. Now if you're off premises you can use things
like OutlookAnywhere - which I might add had their place under that scenario.
In Exchange 2013, the world changed. Ofcourse Microsoft doesn't feel like telling it in a plain english to people - I'm sure there is an article somewhere but I didn't find it. Exchange 2013 does not support direct configuration of Outlook like all of it's
previous versions. Did you jaw drop? Mine did when I realized it. So now when you are asked for your server name in manual outlook set up and you give it Exchange2013.yourdomain.local - it says cannot connect to it. This happens because ALL - INTERNAL AND
EXTERNAL connection are now handled via OutlookAnywhere. You can't even disable that feature and have it function the reasonable way.
So now the question still remains - how do you configure outlook. Well under server properties there is this nice section called Outlook anywhere. You have a chance to configure it's External and Internal address. This is another thing that should be logical
but it didn't work that way for me. When I configured the external address different from the internal - it didn't work. So I strongly suggest you get it working with the same internal address first and then ponder how you want to make it work for the outside
users.
Now that you have this set up you have to go to virtual directories and configure the external and internal address there - this is actually what the Step 4 that Martina was refering to has you do.
Both external and internal address are now the same and you think you can configure your outlook manually - think again. One of the most lovely features of Outlook Anywhere, and the reason why I had never used it in the past is that it requires a TRUSTED
certificate.
See so it's not that exchange 2013 requires a trusted certificate - it's that exchange 2013 lacks the feature that was there since Windows 2000 and Exchange 5.5.
So it's time for you to install an Active Direction Certificate Authority. Refer to this wonderful article for exact steps - http://careexchange.in/how-to-install-certificate-authority-on-windows-server-2012/
Now even after you do that - it won't work because you have to add the base private key certificate, which you can download now from your internal certsrv site, to Default Domain Policy (AND yes some people claim NEVER mess with the Default Domain Policy,
always make an addition one... it's up to you - I don't see direct harm if you know what you want to accomplish) see this: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc738131%28v=ws.10%29.aspx if you want to know exact steps.
This is the moment of ZEN! :) Do you feel the excitement? After all it is your first time. Before we get too excited lets first request and then install the certificate to actual Exchange via the gui and assign it to all the services you can (IIS, SMTP and
there is a 3rd - I forgot, but you get the idea).
Now go to your client machine where you have the outlook open, browse to your exchange server via https://exchang2013/ in IE and if you don't get any certificate errors - it's good. If you do run on hte client and the server: gpupdate /force This will refresh
the policy. Don't try to manually install the certificate from Exchange's website on the client. If you wanna do something manually to it to the base certificate from the private key but if you added it to the domain policy you shouldn't have to do it.
Basically the idea is to make sure you have CA and that CA allows you to browse to exchange and you get no cert error and you can look at the cert and see that's from a domain CA.
NOW, you can configure your outlook. EASY grasshoppa - not the manual way. WHY? Cause the automatic way will now work. :) Let it discover that exachange and populate it all - and tell you I'm happy! :)
Open Outlook - BOOM! It works... Was it as good for you as it was for me?
You may ask, why can't I just configure it by manual - you CAN. It's just a nightmare. Go ahead and open the settings of the account that got auto configed... How do you like that server name? It should read something like [email protected]
and if you go to advanced and then connection tab - you'll see Outlook Anywhere is checked as well. Look at the settings - there is the name of the server, FQDN I might add. It's there in 2 places and one has that Mtdd-something:Exchange2013.yourdomain.local.
So what is that GUID in the server name and where does it come from. It's the identity of the user's mailbox so for every user that setting will be different but you can figure it out via the console on the Exchange server itself - if you wish.
Also a note, if your SSL certs have any trouble - it will just act like outlook can't connect to the exchange server even though it just declines the connection cause the cert/cert authority is not trusted.
So in short Outlook Anywhere is EVERYWHERE! And it has barely any gui or config and you just supposed to magically know that kind of generic error messages mean what... Server names are now GUIDs of the [email protected] - THAT MAKES PERFECT
SENSE MICROSOFT! ...and you have to manage certs... and the only place where you gonna find the name of the server is inside the d*** Outlook Anywhere settings in the config tab, un it's own config button - CAN WE PUT THE CONFIG ANY FURTHER!
Frustrating beyond reason - that should be Exchange's new slogan...
Hope this will help people in the future and won't get delete because it's bad PR for Microsoft.
PS
ALSO if you want to pick a fight with me about how SSL is more secure... I don't wanna hear it - go somewhere else... -
Cannot Start Microsoft Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook Window. The set fo folders cannot be opened. You must connect to Microsoft Exchange with the current profile before you can synchronize your folders with your Outlook data file (.ost)
OK. This is a new outlook setup on a laptop. The mail account is on a MS Exchange Server 2010. The user can log on to their laptop no problem with their AD login and password. To setup the outlook profile we have checked the name OK. When we click finish
and try to start outlook we get the above error message. It is driving me pots as I have tried also of things. I have tried to connect without catching the files. The error message then says that the Exchange Server is down, yet we checked the name OK and
I can log on to the MS Exchange server and see the setup.
What else is it that I need to look at as I have tried everything. I will add that they one service I see not running is the Exchange RPC service. If I try to start it, it fails saying Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services
or programs.
What can I do?The major cause of this problem is a corrupted Navigation Pane settings file – profilename.xml, where “profilename” is the name of your Outlook profile. A good sign that the
file is corrupted is when the size of the file is shown 0 KB. No one knows the precise reason why this takes place, but all versions of Outlook from 2003 to 2013 may get affected.
Other causes may be when you run Outlook in the compatibility mode, or if you are using a profile generated in an older Outlook version, or if the Outlook data file (.pst or .ost)
was removed or damaged as the result of faulty uninstallation or reinstallation of MS Outlook.
Follow the steps given below to resolve this problem
1. Recover Navigation Pane configuration file
2. Repair your Outlook PST file using Inbox Repair tool
3. Create a new Outlook profil and import data from the old PST file
4. Turn off Compatibility Mode
5. Start Outlook in Safe Mode
