Cant open .mdi with any mac application

how do you open a .mdi format with a mac.. is it possible? i tried changing it to a .tif on my pc, but still cant open ... help

Hi rider04 and welcome to Discussions,
MDI files are Microsoft Office Document Imaging - a proprietary MS format
that I believe they were trying to get accepted in favour of PDF format -
it's a similar sort of philosophy, except that where PDF works on just about
every platform available, MDI only works in Office for Windows, v2003 and
higher (in fact, the MDI print driver appears to have been removed from
Office 2007). They are far more than " Microsoft's version of the .tiff
format".
Unfortunately, there are no ways to read these docs on a mac - even the
venerable GraphicConverter can't handle them. Can't you get your
correspondents to send the data in another format? Almost nobody I know uses
MDI. If they are scanned paper documents, then TIFF4 or PDF are far better
(and more widely available) alternatives.
Regards
Stefan

That is a Windows Backup file. I seriously doubt that there will be any way to read that on a Mac. Do you have a Windows machine that you can use to open those files and save the contents in a more friendly format?

You should at least install the latest Firefox 3.6.28 version for your Mac OS X 10.4 PPC computer instead of the current Firefox 3.6.18 version.

Can you buy any type of external HDD and it'll work with any mac or do you have to buy specific ones that cost like €999?

can you buy any type of external HDD and it'll work with any mac or do you have to buy specific ones that cost like €999?

You can buy any disk with FireWire, Thunderbolt or USB. If you've got a 2010 or early MacBook Pro, buy a FireWire disk, or if you've a newer computer, a Thunderbolt disk. They'll be faster than the USB, but you can buy an USB hard disk

You need to re-install iphoto as it is missing parts of itself.
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

Cant open InDesign files from mac on pc

I am trying to open some InDesign files made on a mac on my pc but it does not work.
I have the latest version of InDesign on my pc computer.
We have tried:
Open the mac files as they are.
Resave the mac files as old indesign format and open them on PC
Export from mac to IDML files and open those files on the pc.
Open the file on my pc as a "copy"
Nothing works.
I get the message:
Either the file does not exist, you do not have permission, or the file may be in use by another application.
Having a deadline for this project very very soon so really need to fix this. Any ideas out there?

I dont know what the orginal mac version is for this. And it will take some time to find out.
Can i see this somewhere? Could this make a difference?
Use this: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/934429
Yes it makes a difference. First off, my script checks if it's indeed an InDesign file. If it is, it tells what version the file was created with (and recent versions of the script will also helpfully tell you what that means for you, i.e., whether or not you can open it with your version of inDesign).
Further check: nothing weird in the file name? Don't assume -- delete the original file name and type in something reasonable. There are lots of weird Mac symbols that may have hitched a ride along.
If that does not work: either post the file somewhere for us to look at (preferred), or open it with a hex editor and show us the first couple of bytes. This so we can verify what it is.

Cant open youtube in any browser in macbook pro

Hi. I have a macbook pro from 2010, I am still using snow leopard (10.6.8).
It was always hard to play youtube videos on Safari but I was able to get it work smoothly on Chrome. Then starting 2-3 weeks ago I cant open youtube site in any browser at all (safari, chrome, firefox..).
When i typed the site address and enter, all the browsers start like they might open the homepage, the loading bar in the address part starts a little but it waits and waits and never load more than that. Sometimes I get the "failed to open page" message at last (mostly on Safari). So I cant seem to make youtube work on my Mac. And adobe flash seems up to date so it shouldnt be a problem.
I encountered a discussion like this and it was advising to go 'hosts' file and delete the 'youtube.com' lines, I tried it but even i gave all the permissions -it wasnt permitted to make changes- to hosts file, it never saves any changes (it has another problem on that file to make changes i think). So i couldnt get it done that also. Does anyone have any idea about this? Thanks.

I'm having no issue playing YouTube videos in Safari 5.7.1 or Firefox 18 on OS X 10.6.8
Flash is currently at verison: 11.5.502.146
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
You have some sort of other problem and the /etc/hosts file shouldn't be messed with.
This is what it should look like and that's it. Anything esle is likely the result of malware or tinkering.

I just upgraded to Yosemite on my mac from 2010. Everything seems to work, accept Photos. When I try to open it i push the "Get started" button, then the picture with "Preparing Library" comes up. Then a message appears with the text "An unexpected error has occurred. Please quit and restart the application." I have done this several times, but nothing happens. What do I do?

Google Chrome doesn't open files with any applications

Hey all,
After downloading stuff, it is desirable to open the files downloaded; however this is made difficult on my Arch system because Chrome doesn't know what to open the files with, nor does it ask.
I'm using SLiM, xmonad, and have a rather minimalistic set up.
Secondary to this, Chrome cannot determine by itself whether it is the default browser application.
I don't know where I could provide this information to Chrome, Can anybody help?
Thanks

Cant video chat with another mac

We both have brand new macs and use mac.com id's and it will not let us do a video chat. We have changed the port, the streaming for quicktime, and the sharing. Nothing will let us connect using video. It works about half the time when I try to connect to his PC using his AIM account. We have tried changed which default IM application to use and it will not work. I am out of options and forums to read. I have all updates and so does he. Hope someone knows why this has happened.

Hi,
Welcome to the  Discussions
A routing device can often act as a hardware firewall if the ports that an app needs are not open or allowed.
iChat 4 uses 20 ports
5190, 5220, 5222, 5223, 5297, 5298, 5353, 5678, 16393-16402
Some of these are to login to AIM, some for Jabber Servers , some for Bonjour Chats and the last 11 for A/V Chats.
You will see that comes to 19. iChat 4 Screen Sharing uses a random port.
All these ports are above a threshold of 1024
Most routing device have ports below this threshold open so that Web Browsing and Mail apps work without any set up.
AIM on a PC uses port 5190 to login then needs 1024-5000 to be allowed (it does not use all of them at once). It does have however the ability to change the 5190 login port if it can not make contact with the AIM server, most often using port 80 the same as Web Browsing.
As Calling out will often open ports through your device you may have some success in one direction if one of you is allowing the correct ports.

I have a Cd with images that I need to open.

What format are these images?
The health care industry is a bit behind the times, often relying on custom-made programs that read/write custom file formats (even with images or videos, rather than using standard file formats), and often those programs only run on Windows. My guess would be you've gotten a CD that is loaded with software to allow viewing of a custom file format on Windows and that won't work at all on a Mac.

I accidently used Disk Utility to fix a partition. I cant boot in with any USB drive. Help.

I accidentally used Disk Utility to fix a partition. It erased it. I desperately need to restore it.
I have an imac without a cdrom. How do I create a bootable usb with testdisk as for some bizarre reason it seems impossible to create a bootable usb drive for osx. I tried GParted and the ultimate boot disk that both have test disk.
I am stumped. Why can't I boot into my imac with a usb? I have a mac air that I just cant seem to create a usb drive with testdrive thats bootable. I even tried rEFit but no luck.
Anyone have an idea? How do I fix my system ?

I have an imac OSX 10.8.
I tried creating a usb drive of testdisk on my mac air so that I could use it to boot into the iMAC and restore the partition table.
I created it using:
hdiutil convert -format UDRW -o target.img ~/Desktop/ubcd530.iso
dd if=./target.img.dmg of=/dev/rdisk1 bs=1m
It did not work. It would not boot. I also tried Gnome Partition tool and that did not boot either. I need my old system as it has important data
Any tips? Thanks!
