Any error messages?  If so, what does it state?

    Can you open PDF's in Apple's Preview application?
    I assume you mean Adobe Reader. Where are you getting Reader? From here: http://www.adobe.com/products/reader.html?

  • My iPhone, iPad and G5 cant open PDF or Word attachments on emails generated from a specific PHP written system.

    I use iPhone, iPad and G5 receiving emails generated from a PHP written system hosted on 1and1.  I cant open PDF or Word attachments on any emails. The attachment's file names are displayed at the bottom of the email with no link.  No problem on Windows Outlook.   Is it me, 1and1 or the PHP system!? Does Apple OS handle email attachments differently to Windows?  Help!?

    Followed your instructions on my iPhone running 4.3.5 and my iPad which is running iOS 5 beta 4...  IT WORKS!
    Thanks a lot!

    donut1950,
    Would you provide more information about your problem so that we can troubleshoot?
    What is the version of your Adobe Reader for Android?
    What is the version of Android OS?
    What is the mail app do you use to read email on Android?
    When you try to open an PDF attachment, do you see the dialog "Compete action using" with the Adobe Reader icon?  Does the dialog have "Always" and "Just Once"?
    Could you tell us the exact error message that you see when you try to open an PDF attachment?
    Does the problem happen with ONE particular PDF attachment?  Or does it happen with any PDF attachments all the time?

  • I have mountain lion OSX and parallels with Windows.  Every time I click on a hyperlink in other applications it opens - some 7 Zip file explorer inside Parallels but doesn't go to Safari.  Does anyone know solution?

    I have mountain lion OSX and parallels with Windows.  Every time I click on a hyperlink in other applications it opens - some 7 Zip file explorer inside Parallels but doesn't go to Safari.  Does anyone know solution?

    I suggest that you run software update, after which you should have Safari 6.0.5 - then check Safari - Preferences - Privacy & see that 'Block cookies' is not set to Always.
    Failing that - switch Safari extensions Off via Safari - Preferences - Extensions & test again

  • Since I have connected my iPad with the MacBook through ICloud I have problems in Preview of opening PDF- and JPG-files. Does anyone have a solution for this?

    Since I have connected my iPad with the MacBook through ICloud I have problems in Preview of opening PDF- and JPG-files. Does anyone have a solution for this?

    I'm not sure I understand the connection between iCloud and this problem.  Is it simply a problem of coincidental timing (ie, the problem happened after you set up iCloud)?  If so, there's almost certainly no connection between these two events.
    Where are you getting the files you're trying to open, and what specifically happens when you try to open them?

  • Can't open dmg or zip files

    I have Yosemite, and recently installed the latest system update for this.
    I've noticed today that I can't open dmg or zip files - attempting to do this via the 'open with' command results in the icon for (eg disk utility) appearing in the dock and hanging.
    I can mount via Disk Utility - though I'm having issues opening the resulting mounted applications as these then also appear in the dock and hang. Haven't found a way to open zip files yet.
    I have tried repairing permissions and disk - with no effect. Restarting the finder also has no effect.
    Anybody have any ideas what could cause this (these seem like basic functions) or any troubleshooting steps?
    Many thanks!

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • Opening PDF and PPT files without using BuddyApi

    Hi, please excuse my newness.
    I'm wanting to open pdf and ppt files through Director (I'm using 11.5) but I'm struggling with finding the right code to make it work. I saw that a lot of people are recommending Buddy Api. However I'm cheap and was hoping that there would be a way to open files without having to resort to using/paying for this xtra. Is there a reason why opening files in Director seems to be such a hassle?
    Thanks in advance.

    I'll also add that from my understanding, an unregistered version of Buddy API can be used in commercial applications.
    Buddy API is a great Xtra and if you're going to be developing applications with Director, this Xtra will be a valuable purchase. Buddy Xtra is recommended a lot in the Director forums for a good reason.
