Click on icons and they don't open

I am trying to open QuikTime Player to burn a DVD and it isn't opening after I click it.

I am trying to open QuikTime Player to burn a DVD and it isn't opening after I click it.
1) The QT Player does not burn DVDs. If you need to "author" a DVD, use iDVD instead. If you need to burn a "data" DVD, create/use a "Burn" folder or the Disk Utility app, or a similar utility.
2) Clicking on the QT Player app icon will not open a Player window unless you left a file open when you closed your last session. Double-click a movie file to both open the QT Player app and load the movie to a player window. I you are already double-clicking on the movie icons in the Finder window, the movies are QT playback compatible and they are not opening, then you may have a system problem.

  • I do a search on the internet and when items come up, I click on them and they won't open.

    The top 1 or 2 results might open but many of the others will not open when I click on them. This has just recently happened in this last few weeks. Thanks for the help.

    At lease one of your plugins looks to be out of date;
    With the last Firefox upgrade, some plugins are no longer
    enabled until you enable it.
    Open the Add-ons Manager by
    Pressing the '''Alt''' or '''F10''' key to bring up the tool bar.

  • Make FIREFOX stop taking over my documents! I'm a writer, and they don't open as they should after Firefox takes them over!

    When I check files, some of my documents--those which have been emailed--are changed from Word to Firefox. The altered documents (some entire novels waiting for acceptance from my publisher!!!!) are no longer Word documents. BESIDES the aggravation of having to handle these documents differently, have any changes been made to the structure or the contained words?

    Hello Wyodor,
    thanks for your reply on my question.
    You are wright the index file is 308 KB.
    And offcourse that I delete my files and documents is not an Iweb problem, but because my English is not that good, that I thougt I try to tell the whole story, and hope people can read trough the lines.
    Why I didn't use Iweb to upload to the server is because the server company recommanded to use file zilla. And I am a nobody with this kind of things, so I did exactly what they tell me to do.
    No, i did not make a backup of Iweb and the domain file, but reading other messages on this forum showed me that I can maybe try to make empty the cashfile (?)
    and otherwise I have bad luck and have to make my website again. Offcourse I have a lot of examples from all the pages (copied from the local map to my USB stick) and my website is aprox. 15 Mb, (not so big) so it will cost me a few nigths.
    But I'm still hoping on a miracle :-)

  • How I can solve this problem or manipulate it ports 80,443 are closed by ISP and they don't want to open it

    hi,
     I see that I have a particulier abonnee of my ISP , which has closed all the ports for security reason and they don't want to open  any of it 80,443 ect.
    suppose If I want to use Essential server 2012  how I can solve this problem , essential wants domain name whith A record.
    I asked DDNS service provider if I lease from them a domain name whith A record  would that help to open or manipulate the port 80,443  they said that I have to solve this problem myself . they lease only domain names with dynamic dns records.  
     so what can be a solution the ISP provider won't open this ports , how I can solve this problem .   domain name with ip adres is not helping so what it's go to help?
    thanks
    johan

    The domain name in this instance is only used for remote access, and is seperate from the active directory domain name.
    If your ISP blocks port 80 and 443, and you dont intend to use remote access anyway, the wizard will likely not complete successfully whether you have a valid domain name or not.

  • What do I need to do to open Office (word AND excel) documents, PowerPC issues etc. They don't open on iWork '08. Office 2011? Please advise :-)

    What do I need to do to open Office 2004 (word AND excel) documents? PowerPC issues etc. They don't open on iWork '08. Happy to upgrade to iWork or Office just to be able to access my docs from Office 2004 again - please can someone advise? Cheers.

    Hi - thanks for this info. Actually I have downloaded a 30-day trial of MS Office for Mac 2011 and it reads/writes. But I was expecting that if I saved it again, either as xls oe xlsx, then I would be able to open the newly-saved document in iWorks '08. This is not the case, any ideas why? cheers, Matt.

    - Tyy resetting the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next, If they are opening by quickly closing, try downloading/install a new app.

    How do i set up my email so i would need to use password to sign in, instead of clicking on icon and open it directly?

    You can't with the built-in Mail app. There may be third-party email apps in the App Store that have a password option, or you could access your account via Safari - go to your host's login page and then create a homescreen shortcut for it via the 'share' icon (the square with the upward pointing arrow), tapping on that homescreen shortcut will open Safari on your login page.

  • Hi, I have recently updated my OS X to Maverick. when I did, my mail programme (Mail) will not open - for me only. There are 4 other users of the iMac, and they don't appear to have any problems.

    Hi, I have recently updated my OS X to Maverick. when I did, my mail programme (Mail) will not open - for me only. There are 4 other users of the iMac, and they don't appear to have any problems.

    First, Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, test if things work OK in Safe Mode.
    Then move these files to the Desktop for now...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.recentitems.plist
    Reboot & test.
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.

  • Flashing finder icon and showing "don't restore windows" and "restore windows" text box

    hi, i hav problem with the flashing finder icon and showing "don't restore windows" and "restore windows" text box. im using macbookpro MAC OS X 10.7.5. i've search for solutions, lik relaunch the finder by pressing COMMAND+ALT+esc, but it didn't work for me...
    any1 can help me, thx...

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

    Hello Brian Delaney,
    It sounds like you are trying to send emails but for some reason, thousands show activity. I would start by re indexing the mailbox to help troubleshoot the issue:
    1.Quit Mail if it’s open.
    2.In ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData, delete any file that begins with “Envelope Index,” such as Envelope Index or Envelope Index-shm.To show your home Library folder, hold down the Option key, then in the Finder choose Go > Library.
    3.Open Mail.Mail creates new Envelope Index files. This process may take a few minutes, depending on how many messages Mail is reindexing.
    Mail (Mavericks): Reindex messages
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14876
    If the issue persists, I would next remove the account, restart the computer, and re add the account:
    1.Choose Mail > Preferences, then click Accounts.
    2.Select an account, then click Remove.
    Mail (Mavericks): Remove mail accounts
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14944
    Removing an Exchange or IMAP account doesn’t permanently delete the account’s mailboxes and messages because they’re stored on the mail server. To retrieve the account’s mailboxes and messages from the server, add the account again in Mail.
    To add the account again, click the  rather than the  as described above and retest the issue.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Joe

  • Please help! I defragged my hard drive and now Illustrator CS6 is trying to open all of my complex Illustrator files with a "Text Import Options" box as if they are text files, and they are not opening!

    Please help! Illustrator CS6 started trying to open all of my complex.ai files with a "Text Import Options" box as if they were text files, and they are not opening!  Help!

    Hi Monika,
    I have spent the last two or three days trying to do what you suggested.  I uninstalled Adobe 6 from Windows.  Some files that CS6 placed on my system during installation remained, including fonts and .dll files.
    I had to abandon the Cleaner Tool you suggested because in one screen it allowed me to specify removing CS6 only, but on the following screen it only gave on option to remove ALL Adobe programs.  I could not do that because I didn't have the serial number handy for CS3 in case I want to reinstall it at some point.
    I tried to get technical help with the Cleaner Tool problem but no definitive help was available, so I reinstalled CS6 again without having the benefit of the Cleaner Tool.  I tried to get the serial number for CS3 so I could use the Cleaner Tool but spent 2 wasted hours in chat.  Even though I had a customer number, order number, order date, place of purchase, the email address used AND 16 digits of the serial number, in two hours the agent couldn't give me the serial number.  After two hours I had nothing but instructions to wait another 20 minutes for a case number.
    Illustrator CS6 is still trying to open some backups as Text and otherNone of the problems have been fixed.  I have tried to open/use the .ai files in CS6 installed on another system and am getting the same result, so I don't think the software was damaged by the cleaner.  The hard drive cleaner is well-known and I've run it many times without any problem to previous versions of Illustrator or any other programs.
    When I ordered, the sale rep promised good technical support and gave me an 800 number, but after I paid the $2000, I learned that the 800 number she gave me doesn't support CS6 and hangs up on me.  Adobe doesn't call it a current product even though they just sold it to me about 3 weeks ago.
    Would appreciate any help you experts can offer.  If I can't solve this, the last backup I can use was from June and I will have lost HUNDREDS of hours of work and assets that I cannot replace.
    Exhausted and still desperately in need of help...

  • Premiere Elements 13 won't launch in Windows 8.1 (Click the icon and nothing happens)

    I'm running the trial version of Premiere Elements 13 on Windows 8.1 64-bit. It's a brand new PC built for video editing. Everything worked perfectly for about a week and all of a sudden I'm unable to start the program. I click the icon and nothing happens. No splash screen, no error code, no spinning circle cursor.
    I have the latest video card drivers for my graphics card.
    I've tried uninstalling the program, removed every last Adobe file from my PC, uninstalled all instances of Microsoft Visual C++ and reinstalled Adobe Premiere Elements 13. I tried the same with a fresh download of the program. Neither worked.
    I've tried installing a couple .dll files based on a similar thread (where a program called iLivid was the issue). I don't have iLivid on this PC and adding the new drivers didn't work.
    For the few days that the software was working I loved it and was ready to purchase. Unfortunately I won't be able to buy it until I can get it to launch on my PC. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    My major problem was with the reliability of the uninstall reinstall of Premiere Elements 12 Windows. I did not encounter any issues in this regard with 11. And, I have only looked at the 30 day tryout of 13 from Adobe. My computers are Windows XP 32 bit, Windows 7 64 bit, Windows 8 and later 8.1 64 bit. The following describes what got me through the worse of these hassels.

    I am not sure if the above will work for you with 13. But, it would be worthwhile to check them out.
    Since you are dealing with current version 13, it might be a good idea to get Adobe via its Adobe Chat involved, with the hope of some remote control of your computer troubleshooting to try to get to the core of the issue. Chat Panels have been hard to come by for some of these issues, but let us try this route.
    Please click on the following link
    Contact Customer Care
    Premiere Elements
    Adobe ID and signing in
    Adobe ID, sign in, and account help
    Chat Panel
    If the link does not hold its set, then you will need to navigate to the Chat Panel using the above titles as guides.
    Depending on the outcome....if you purchased Premiere Elements 13 from Adobe direct within the last 30 days, you can request your
    money back from Adobe. If you purchased elsewhere, then you are left to deal with the return policy of the seller.
    We will be watching for further developments.
