CC Illustrator files (v17.0.0) won't reopen from the desktop. How can this be fixed?
Hmmm, the problem appears to have disappeared once I deinstalled Dreamweaver CS6. Coincidence?
Also our IT department sent me this, but no need for it at the moment:
Deleting the preference folder (in osx it's in "user/library/Preferences/Adobe Illustrator 17 Settings").
Illustrator will then create new preferences.

I recorded audio with Quicktime player and the sound files won't disappear from the desktop no matter how I try to put them in the trash...

I recorded audio with Quicktime player and the sound files won't disappear from the desktop no matter how I try to put them in the trash...tried xing out the red x, putting them in the trash...right clicking to make them disappear...nothing works...

Just got rid of them... I closed Quicktime and was asked to delete. So I deleted them. Problem solved.

My 2 TB Time Capsule's memory is full because it will not automatically delete old files as it is supposed to, so it is giving me zero backup of my two computers now. How can this be fixed so my Time Capsule deletes the old data and saves the new?

My 2 TB Time Capsule’s memory is full because it will notautomatically delete old files as it is supposed to, so it is giving me zerobackup of my two computers now. How can this be fixed so my Time Capsule deletes the old data and savesthe new?
Neither my local computer consultant nor I have been ableto change any of the settings in Time Machine to correct this problem. Working with the choices in the TimeMachine, there does not appear that there is any way to change the frequency ofthe backups either, so, after a year has elapsed, the time capsule is full, andmy only choice appears to be to erase all the current data on the Time Capsuleand start over, something that I do not want to at all let alone repeat on anannual basis. My questions are:
What can be done to have my Time Capsule delete old filesas it is supposed to do, so it has memory available to allow my computers toback up?
Is this a software problem that can be fixed online or isdoes this require a mechanical fix of defective hardware?

How much data is being backed-up from each Mac? (see what's shown for Estimated size of full backup under the exclusions box in Time Machine Prefs > Options).
Is there any other data on your Time Capsule, besides the backups?
Most likely, there just isn't room. Time Machine may be trying to do a very large (or full) backup of one or both Macs, and can't. Since it won't ever delete the most recent backup, there has to be enough room for one full backup plus whatever it's trying to back up now, plus 20% (for workspace).

When going through the download process with social monkee and getting to the point of adding it to firefox I get the following message: 'Social Monkee could not be installed because firefox cannot modify the needed file'. How can this be fixed?

That is usually caused by a missing unpack directive (<em:unpack>true</em:unpack>) in the file install.rdf of that extension.

HT4623 iPad won't shut down or restart. Apple flashes on and off. How can this be fixed?

iPad won't shut down or restart. Apple flashes on and off. How can this be fixed?

My ipad also does not shut down. I've tried to reboot a million times (holding down the home and power buttons simultaneously). I've tried resetting everything (after successfully backing up on iCloud). I tried the remote reboot (backing up ipad on iCloud, then on a separate computer, log on to iCloud, locate your device, clear all, reboot everything). Nothing worked. Took the ipad to the tech dept at the store, and they said its a mechanical failure of the power button, either the sensor or spring. Without the extended warranty, costs $250 to fix, because the screen is glued down to the machine. With the warranty, they would have replaced it for free. Ugh. My ipad is 1.5 years old. It would have been covered. But it shouldn't be so easy to damage! Outrageous that ipads are so glitchy at this price point. Outside techies can fix, but the machine could be damaged because of the way it's made.
Another option the techie at apple told me about, which won't shut down the ipad but will take it to the locked home screen, is go to Settings, General, Accessibility, under physical and motor, turn on the Assistive touch. That adds a button to the screen. Select Device, then Lock, and that takes you straight to the black screen. Not a total power down but maybe it burns through the battery less.

When I try to save a document in Pages 9.5, a popup states "unable to open (file name)" How can this be fixed?

This is a very spiratic problem but it seems to occur when I am trying to save something very important. When I type the document, go to file, and click save, a popup comes up. I select the folder and name the file. That popup then disappears. Another popup appears stating that the file cannot be oppened. This is on Pages 9.5. It is the new Pages you can download from the App Store. I have already reinstalled it and am still haing the same problem. It has happened in Keynot once and a few times in Numbers. Is there any thing that can be done? Is anyone having this problem as well? I will upload a picture of the popup next time it happens. Thanks!

Firefox is forcing Acrobat file to be saved, rather than opening it. How can this be fixed?

When I visit a website that has a .pdf file on it and I try to download the file, rather than opening up to be read, Firefox asks where it should be saved. It does not directly open the file for viewing as it had done last week. Thanks for any advice to address this problem.

I finally found the right fix in the reset section of Check Firefox settings. I clicked on "Help" and clicked on "Troubleshooting Information". Under "Application Basics", I clicked on "Open Containing Folder". A window with my profile files opened. I selected the "mimetypes.rdf" file and deleted it. I then closed the Mozilla program, rebooted my computer and then reopened Mozilla Firefox. Voila - It returned "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)" in my settings. All is well.

Firefox won't open from the desktop shortcut nor the program file on the start page.

On many occasions, Firefox will not start (load) unless I reboot my laptop. Version 3.6 on Windows Vista.

Actually, it's not just Mail that isn't working, but the Finder is crashing as well, and there may also be other problems that I don't fully understand. If you can manage to use the computer at all, proceed as follows.
Verify/repair your disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
After having fixed all filesystem issues, if any, reinstall the latest system update using the Combo installer:
Mac OS X 10.4.7 Combo Update for PPC
Read the following articles for guidelines on how to properly install system updates:
Troubleshooting installation and software updates
Installing software updates
Basically, you should verify/repair the boot volume before installing the update, and no applications should be running while installing it.

My songs are all gone from my library.... but still scattered files on my computer... how can this be fixed?

I have 12000 songs and I can see some of them still scattered on some old files I have (transfered from old computers in files like "New Music" and such). Just about 4 days ago, all the songs are gone from ONLY my library when I restarted my computer. So it sounds like a corrupted file linking the songs but I dont know which one it would be.

http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1967 May be of assistance in this case.

PSD files saved for web and devices show up as broken when opened Dreamweaver. How can this be fixed?

PSD layouts saved for web and devices show up as broken links in dreamweaver. Previews in browsers are fine, but I keep getting and error message that says the files have been blocked. What is the fix for this?

You can also try out Project Parfait. It's a new experiment from Adobe that’s currently online and free to try out and use.
It allows easy PSD comps-to code workflows.

My iPad just all of a sudden turn to black and now won't open. It is on as it is beeping. Doesn't make sound or power symbol come on when plugged in. How can this be fixed?

Can any one help or tell me what to do to fix this? iPad just went to black screen and won't light up. It is on and is charged.

Have you tried a soft-reset to see if that gets it to boot up ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo will hopefully appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Script won't run from the Desktop

I have a bash script that says something ordinary:
#!/bin/bash
/Applications/synergy/synergys -f --config /Applications/synergy/synergy.conf
exit 0
It is associated with the Smultron editor and I want it to run in a terminal (or invisibly) when I click a desktop icon. Now it is just displayed by Smultron.
When I try to change 'Open with:' to 'Terminal' it says 'you don't have privileges to change the application to this document only. Do you want to change all your Smultron.app doc.s to open with application 'Terminal.app'? I continue and ...nothing happens.
ls -al synergys.sh gives
-rwxr-xr-x@ 1 chrism admin 70 30 May 2008 synergyc.sh
How do I get the ** script to run when clicked, please?

I've never seen an erro like you getting about not being able to change the default app for just this file. try rebuilding your launch services database. run this in terminal
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
and try changing the default app again. you should certainly be able to assign terminal to open this file or all .sh files.

How do i unsynch my emails from hotmail on iphone 4 so that if i delete from my iphone, it won't delete from the desktop email?

I can't "unsynch" my hotmail emails from my iPhone 4.
I had this previously set up on my phone so that I only had my main inbox (no subfolders) and if I deleted an email then it only deleted it from my phone, not from the desktop email.
However, due to having to reset my whole hotmail account today, I had to delete my account from my Iphone and reactivate it, but when I did so it synched everything and now I have all my subfolders etc... and when I delete an email from my phone, it deletes the message from my whole account.
Does anyone know how to re-set this?

The only way to do that is to use a mail server with IMAP access, such as iCloud or Gmail. What you have is a POP account, which is the type provided by most ISP's.

My iPhone 3G won't charge. How can this be fixed?

I have tried charging from mt iMac, and two different chargers using two different cables. No success with any of the combinations.

I am having the same issue and now I had to restore my phone but the big problem is now that the battery is so low I don't think it has enough juice to finish the restore. What the heck is going on?
