Cannot open my old mov. files with new imovies 10.0.3

I went to open a .mov file I wanted to re-edit and only Quicktime was given as an option. I've tried to create a new event with the new imovies and that isn't happening either. How to do either of these simple things would be appreciated.

The new iMovie is only going to accept certain formats and codecs. You should re-export or re-save your movie files from QuickTime to a new format. You may notice a "(converted)" in the title bar of some of your movies as they are opened in QT. QT is now converting movies into more "acceptable" codecs as it loads them into memory.
After export, they should be acceptable in iMovie.

I cannot open the old numbers file on my new ipad today

Today i cannot open the old file, but i can create and open the new file. I try to shut down the ipad and reopen it, but it is the same. What should i do?

You will find that it is the size of the photos which are the problem. Give it time - let the wheel churn!
Other considerations -
Try sending her some to see what happens.
Get you wife to send a single photo to see what happens!
Finally, try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe!

Open a Flash Catalyst file with new Panini?

Hello,
I put myself under the bracket of a designer, although have the skills to use flash professional, using as3 but have fount using flash catalyst to be a breathe of fresh air as I can stay well away from code and achieve quick basic outcomes. My only issue I have is when getting Panini and now I am itching to use the new features, especially a simple design I have done for a webpage and I need the new resizable feature to completely make it complete.
I realise there is yet the possibility of opening an old file into the new Panini, although in the future there will be... but I kinda need it now and I get the obvious error below:
This preview version of Flash Catalyst Panini cannot upgrade Flash Catalyst CS5 projects. This feature will be enabled in a future build.
To open this project, open the FXP in Flash Builder Burrito, resolve Flash Catalyst compatibility issues, and then Export as a new Flash Builder Project (.FXP)
Now I have Burrito and have stared longaly at the code but don't know where to start, is there anyone who could help me out? I am a student so have no access to a developer as such and the design is only for a friend but would apprecaite the help, not much the way in tutorials on cutting edge tech!
Thanks,
Matt

Quicktime Pro won't open an MPEG movie file with the Quicktime icon

What am I missing? Not getting? I have several MPEG movie files that proudly sport the Quicktime icon, but the Quicktime app tells me they're not movie files.
If Quicktime won't open them, is there conversion software I can use?
So much for productivity.

Didn't even consider it. I thought that because the file displayed the Quicktime icon and because I have Quicktime Pro, that Quicktime would play the file.
Unfortunately, this is a common misconception. However, now that you understand the problem, you can work on a solution. Basically, if by MPEG your are referring to common MPEG-2/MP2 content 'multiplexed" to an MPEG container, these can be played in the QT Player (or Front Row or iTunes) if you install the QT MPEG-2 Playback component ($19.99). However, be advised that this is a video only component, so it does not make "muxed" AC3 MPEG-2 files playback compatible with the QT player. Luckily, if you do decide to install this component, the free MPEG Streamclip application will allow you to play or convert such files to any QT compatible audio and video format for which you system is configured. Or, if all you want to do is play MPEG-2 video files without investing in the QT component, then you can view them with VLC but may have trouble converting them to a QT compatible format. HandBrake will also convert them without investing in the MPEG-2 component, but greatly limits your conversion possibilities. I personally would recommend buying the component as Neil recommended since it offers the greatest flexibility for playing without conversion, as well as, the most conversion options for all normal MPEP-2 Program and Transport Stream files you are likely to encounter using QT 7 Pro and/or MPEG Streamclip depending on the specific source content what you want to do with the final files.

I suddenly cannot open my old Adobe files or Photoshop or Illustrator and I am using OS Mountain Lion. Why?

I am suddenly unable to open my Adobe software and files including Pkotoshop and Illustrator. Any ideas why?

As I asked back in May:
What happens when you try?
What changes have you made recently?
How have you tried to correct the problem? With what result?
Now, that second question should be read as what changes had you just made when you noticed the problem, but you probably don't remember any longer. Was that about the time you installed Mountain Lion?
If you are using special plugins or drivers for the Wacom tablet, you may need to get updated versions for ML compatibility. The updated plugins might need a more recent version of the Adobe software.

Cannot open .wmv or .mp3 files with newly dowloaded Quicktime Pro 7.1.5

Ever since I have downloaded Quicktime Pro 7 onto my G3 with a 10.4.8 operating system I have not been able to play anything -.wmv or .mp3 files.
What can I do to repair this problem?
IBook Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Apple Discussions!
What have you done so far to rectify the problem? Need this info in order to avoid the "been there, done that" senerios. Thus avoiding duplicate troubleshooting solutions the knowledable users here may provide.

I cannot open or print pdf. files with Adobe on my windows 8

I have downloaded Adobe Acrobat but can only read files not print them - even when I save them.

Problem resolved by uninstalling Windows 8 reader to allow Adobe as the default reader.

Pages 08 won't open my old pages file

I just upgraded to Pages 08 and when I try to open the file I was working on yesterday, with the previous version of pages, it says "The document...couldn't be opened". How can I open the old pages file with the new version?

It may be useful to trash the preferences file:
<bootVolume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Preferences:com.apple.iWork.Pages.plist
But I'm afraid that the document is corrupted.
Control click its icon then select the "Show package's contents" in the contextual menu.
The standard contents is:
Contents
QuickLook
index.xml.gz
The described message is displayed when there is no "index.xml.gz" (or "index.xml") file.
It is also displayed when the "index.xml.gz" (or "index.xml") is badly formed.
The index may be dropped when the documents where stored on an iDisk.

When I open an old pages doc in new pages 5.0 objects in table cells are removed. how can I stop this?

When I open an old pages doc with new pages 5.0 - objects, specifically pictures, in table cells are removed. Is there a way I can stop this?

nigel32,
Gavin is right. You are bound to lose images in tables of docs made in previous versions. If you wish to continue using Pages 5.0 to edit docs from previous versions, you can try re-inserting your images using the following method:
1. Click on the cell you want to insert to.
2. Select CELL on the right contextual menu.
4. Click on FILL and select IMAGE FILL.
5. Click CHOOSE then select the image you need from Finder.
6. Tweak the appearance using the SCALE slider or drop down menu.

Pages 5 will not open Pages '08 files.
Pages '08 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.

Cannot open any photos/movies in Entourage, message comes up saying 'folder cannot be found'. Last week I deleted lots of old documents/downlods and fear that I have accidentally deleted file that opens photos/movies.....any suggestions???

I cannot open any photos/movies in Entourage, message comes up saying 'folder cannot be found'. Last week I deleted lots of old documents/downloads and fear that I have accidentally deleted what is needed to open photos/movies. Any suggestions please? Should re-install the whole Office:mac program, and is it easy to do this without disturbing what I have on my computer?

When you password-protected these folders then you did so to prevent anyone from accessing the pictures unless he had the correct password, even if he deleted the password application itself. Are you now asking how to get around this protection? If you
selected a robust protection scheme then you probably got what you wanted: uncrackable encryption. You need to check the FAQs of this application and/or google for clues. Alternatively you could restore your files from your external backup medium (if you have
one . . .).

Error processing cube - requested operation cannot be performed on a file with a user-mapped section open

Hi,
We have recently moved our production servers and since the move have been experiencing an intermittent (but frequent) error when processing our OLAP cube.
The error messages presented are:
"Error: The following error occurred during a file operation: The requested operation cannot be performed on a file with a user-mapped section open"
"Error: Errors in the OLAP storage engine: An error occurred while processing index for the <Partition Name> partition of the <Measure Group Name> measure group of the <Cube Name> cube from the <Database Name> database"
I assume the second message is a consequence of the first error. The partitions and measure groups seem to vary each time the process is run.
It appears from similar threads that this is usually caused by backups or anti-virus applications locking the files that Analysis Services is using the process the cube. I have ensured that there are no backups running at the time of processing and
I have disabled anti-virus programs without success.
I have also created a new version of the cube (using the deployment wizard) which deployed without error but then encountered the same error when processing for a second time. There was nothing (client application wise) using this cube when it failed
to process.
As I mentioned earlier, this problem is intermittent. Sometimes the cube will successfully process but usually it fails to process.
We have not encountered this error in our previous production environment or in any of our development environments.
Has anyone encountered this problem before? Any suggestions on possible solutions?
Thanks
Rich

Hi jonesri,
I think you can try to use SSAS Dynamic Management View to monitor SSAS instance, such as existing connections and sessions. For example, please run the following MDX query:
SELECT[SESSION_COMMAND_COUNT],
[SESSION_CONNECTION_ID],
[SESSION_CPU_TIME_MS],
[SESSION_CURRENT_DATABASE],
[SESSION_ELAPSED_TIME_MS],
[SESSION_ID],

[SESSION_LAST_COMMAND_CPU_TIME_MS],
[SESSION_LAST_COMMAND_ELAPSED_TIME_MS],
[SESSION_LAST_COMMAND_END_TIME],
[SESSION_LAST_COMMAND_START_TIME],
[SESSION_PROPERTIES],[SESSION_READ_KB],
[SESSION_READS],[SESSION_SPID],
[SESSION_START_TIME],[SESSION_STATUS],

Try to open mov file with quicktime, says can't open pdf files.

Hi to everyone,
Suddenly I try to open a mov, any mov file, with quicktime 10.4 and some times opens the finder and nothing more, some times says that it cannot open one pdf document ( a document I actually have but never try to open with QT). some times QT says it canot open some png or jpg file.
But I double click mov files. And the incoherence is permanent, I mean that for the same movie file says it can't open the same pdf file, and in other file the same png, or the same jpg.. it depends on the mov file I try to open. Like if somewhere, somme kind of cache, adresse or reference is wrong.
this is the text of one of those messages when I double click a mov file:
"The document “phoenixRoomfillerB_v001_0104.jpg” could not be opened. QuickTime Player cannot open files in the “JPEG image” format."
And if I try again and again, at some point QT open only the finder window.
The weird thing is that on the finder window i can see the preview and play the preview. and the same mov files play well with VLC. And if I copy the mov file to my desktop it plays well unless QT start to open only the finder window, if that happens it does not work anymore with any file.
The files are on an external drive with 3 partitions.
And I make all the possible cleaning that I can:
I am the administrator of the imac and I am the only one to use it.
I am the owner of the volume
I use disk utility to check and everything is ok
I use onyx to clean as much as possible, cache, boot, volume structure, smart status, home folder permissions, kernel, extensions, QT components, etc. and everything works fine.
Imac 27 inch late 2012.
Intel 3.4 GHz i7

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2048 MB
thanx.

Try QT v7.x which is located inside your Utility folder.

I cannot open all email attachment files(pdf, doc, etc) in Mail on my New IPad.

I cannot open all email attachment files(pdf, doc, etc) in Mail on my New IPad. I installed all viewer apps but I am not able to click and hold to select the option of viewer apps to open the files. I dont get the "open with" option when I click on the arrow in the menu bar. I can open attachment files on G-mail website from Safari though. It is really ridiculous that I cannot open the files from Apple Mail app! What's wrong with it!!

We cannot possible know what's wrong with it. But we can offer suggestions that might help.
Try resetting the iPad - its like rebooting a computer.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This might help as well.
You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again
