    Rented movie, it took nearly an hour to download, but I can't  open it???

    Actually, there seems to be a bit of a bug.  Encountered this with a couple of files my wife made.  The files were set to "open with" the new Keynote, but clicking the file brought up this error.  Right-clicking and selecting "open with..." worked correctly.  I can only assume the OS was attempting to open the file with Keynote '09 despite the file property setting.
    Probably requires a Launch Services DB reset (although I haven't actually tried it on my wife's MBA yet...since she's still "working on stuff".  So I can't confirm if it will solve the problem).

  • I downloaded the adobe XI software and it shows in my Adobe download assistant as downloaded but I can not open it and it is not a part of my applications. Very frustrating download process as I just want to convert a PDF file to an editable word document

    Odonnells52 you will still need to install Adobe Acrobat Professional prior to being able to make edits to PDF or utilize Acrobat.   By default the installation files have been saved to your download folder.
    If you continue to face difficulties with the Adobe Download Assistant then please see Troubleshoot Adobe Download Assistant.
    You can also download the installation files directly from Download Acrobat products | Standard, Pro | XI, X if you are unable to locate the downloaded installation files.

  • Cannot download new email ,can anyone help

    cannot download new email ,can anyone help

    This sounds like your authentication settings have been screwed up - I've had this a couple of times after Yosemite installs/upgrades.
    Check you have the correct port settings and authentication type. Sometimes changing the setting then changing it back works.

  • Downloading Lion has wiped out excel and word. Numbers can't open a password protected excel document

    How do I access Excel on my Mac after downloading Lion. I get the message that Power PC applications are no longer supported. numbers won't open excel password protected documents

    Well, check that this is Pro workstation, not Lion, and not MBP....
    Rosetta / PowerPC is not supported, so you must also have an out of date version of Office like 2004 or earlier. 2008 and 2011 do work, though there may be 3rd party extensions or plug-ins that do not.

  • New iMac, can't open safari after migration

    Moved files from old iMac (2006) to new iMac (bought yesterday) that was running itunes music off of an external hard drive. Move seemed successful, and I re-attached external hard drive but Itunes would not open, saying itunes was a "newer version" than what was on new iMac already. Did software update and it did not finish the update, saying try again. Second time, it completed update, updating itunes and then the new iMac was able to read the external hard drive fine. I tested a few songs and itunes found them and played them fine, all artwork ok, etc.
    So, then I tried to open Safari and it told me it could not run this version of Safari on the new iMac OSX. Tried the update software trick again, but it still will not open, same message. Under Safari preferences, it shows two default Safari versions, 5.0.4 i thinkg and 5.1.1 (i think) [I am at work now].  I can get around this and get to the internet fine by double clicking my Amazon MP3 icon, which asks if i want to quit and go to website to update, where i am then on amazon.com and have all my bookmarks etc listed on web browser just like before and it works fine...So how can i get icon or safari to open from dock or desktop? I have not tried to download new safari from apple website yet to see if that works to overwrite the others...Am i missing something simple? Can i just delete safari in applications and re-download it or should i run disk utility or ?  Thanks for the help.  jw

    Hi Simon...
    Have two different versions of Safari on your Mac won't work.
    So how can i get icon or safari to open from dock or desktop?
    new iMac (bought yesterday)
    The only way to reiinstall Safari on Lion v10.7 is to use Lion Recovery which will reinstall the Mac OS X.
    Can i just delete safari in applications and re-download it or should i run disk utility or ? 
    No.

  • Downloading new Numbers glitch

    Hello,
    Earlier today, App Store told me I had 4 updates - Pages, Numbers, Keynote and Safari. Rather than ‘download all’, I first started the Pages download, then decided to download Numbers at the same time but, noticing that the calculated time for doing so was large, I paused it.
    Pages downloaded and installed successfully, as did Keynote and Safari, BUT when Safari  had finished installing, the App Store window closed BEFORE I clicked ‘resume’ for the paused Numbers download.
    Now, if I try to open a Numbers document I get the message ‘Numbers cannot be opened whilst it is being updated’.
    If I go back to App Store and click Updates, I am told there are none and Numbers is not listed as having been updated (Pages, Keynote and Safari are), nor is it listed as ‘updating’.
    If I access Apps through iTunes Store, I do see Numbers tagged as ‘updating’.
    So I’m stuck in the middle! I cannot use my old Numbers docs, and the new Numbers is stuck somewhere.
    Any hints as to how to proceed?
    TIA,
    Graham

    Sorry - I should have said that I am using MacBook late 2008  and  OSX 10.9.2 and it was Numbers 3.2 I was attempting to download.
    Also, have just looked in my HD: Applications folder. Naturally, Numbers 3.1 is still there and Numbers 3.2 is listed also but with a downloading symbol. It says it has downloaded 320 KB which was the amount when I clicked ‘pause’.
    Should I trash this and try again?
    Thanks,
    G

  • Old Logic + a new Mac = can't open old projects anymore. De/re-install?

    Hi everybody,
    maybe someone can advise me with this problem:
    I bought a new Mac recently, did install a fresh OSX 10.5 and then used migration assistant to transfer my old user account from my old Mac (10.4), incl. all files. It did take a night, but it worked - or so I thought. Actually all applications work as they should, except for Logic. I had to re-authorize a few plug-ins, but then all seemed to be cool. I can open a new project, record audio, midi, add plug-ins, all cool. But I ended up with 3 problems, which are really annoying:
    1) EXS24 couldn't find most of the samples anymore. Most, not all. I have 4 internal HDs, one for the system, one for audio recordings, one for samples, one for "other stuff". 2 of these disks came from the old Mac, 2 new ones, content copied from old Mac. In the EXS prefs I set "search for samples" to "all volumes", but it still didn't work perfectly. Finally I bought EXSManager Pro and now it seems to work again. I didn't try ALL samples yet, but the +/- 20 EXS instruments I tried, did load all samples.
    2) Space Designer doesn't load impulse responses for the presets anymore. They're there and at the right place. I can load SD and import an existing impulse file, no problem. But the presets don't find the required files anymore.
    3) Now - and this is the worst one - I can't open old projects anymore. I just can't. It starts loading, I see the rainbow thing (don't know the right word), it turns black & white and that's it. You can watch this forever and nothing happens.
    Regarding all 3 issues:
    I don't get any error messages. Logic doesn't crash, I can't click 'apple-.' to stop loading/searching. It just doesn't open the file. I had a coffee, a pizza, I let it try for 2 hrs+, but neither did it load a SD preset or an old song file. All I can do is manually quit Logic.
    But when I open Logic with the CTRL-button down and click "no" to core audio I can open all songs. Of course I can not hear a tone then, but it's all there. Opening a song takes 3 secs then. I tried to safe a song then with a different name, re-started Logic with core audio but same result. It get's "stuck".
    Of course I checked user permissions and all the usual trouble shooting clicks, but still Logic has a mind of it's own. I installed a 2nd user with admin rights, though still the same, plus all the 3rd party plug-ins refusing to work.
    Now I was thinking, should I de-install Logic and re-install from the original CDs maybe. And if so, is there anything special I have to take care of? Like manually removing any prefs or cache files?
    Or completely re-install the whole Mac? (pleeease no....)...
    If anybody has any idea, it'd be highly appreciated.
    Thank you in advance and for the energy to read my little novel here,
    cheers,
    Joern

    Ok, either my question was too long or nobody seems to have an answer. Sad, either way
    Here's something I found out in the meantime, maybe this is interesting for somebody or maybe - problem's not totally solved - enough info for any of you to give me further advice.
    When I start Logic Core Audio driver de-activated, I can open old songs. Then I save them in a new folder with all audio files and a new name. And I remove all EXS24 instruments as well as the Space Designer. I quit Logic, re-open with Core Audio activated and I can open the song.
    Problem no.1: EXS24 instruments don't find the appropriate samples, but EXSMananger Pro did help me with this. Same problem with Space Designer, which doesn't find the impulse responses, connected to a certain preset.
    Two questions, every idea would be great!
    - Is there any way to teach Space Designer Presets where to look for impulse respones. I can load IR samples directly and create a new preset, but I can't use my old ones.
    - Is it possible to install Logic from scratch over an existing version? Or how should I de-install everything connected with Logic and then install a fresh version from CD?
    Thank you again,
    Joern

  • Downloaded new numbers app.  Now no table headings.  Solution?  Also in table headings/title want to add current date as did in old numbers.  How do I do it?  Thanks

    Down loaded new numbers app.  Now no table headings.  Solution?  Also. How do I include current date as part of new table heading, I had this included in old numbers spreadsheet title?

    Hi,
    Do you mean no table name?
    Or table header row?
    You can get the current date in a table heading with NOW, which in the formula editor now looks like this:

  • Numbers can't open excel files that requires a password

    How can I open an excel file that requires a password? I recently purchased the 'Numbers' program and I get an error message saying that Numbers cannot open an encrypted file. However, I can open and view the file (but not edit).
    Apple needs to fix this!
    Any suggestions on how to open a password protected file using Numbers?
    Thanks,
    Curtis

    Thanks
    I compared the beginning of your file to the beginning of two XL ones which are on my machine (in fact, they are files created with openOffice).
    You may see that there are many differences.
    They may explain the different behaviour.
    If someone is able to drive Excel with an AppleScript,
    he may write a script opening your document in Excel,
    saving it
    opening the newly saved file in Numbers.
    As I don't own Excel, I ignore its required syntax so I can't write a clean script.
    If the XL's syntax is the same than the Numbers one, this quick and dirty one may do the trick :
    set aFile to (path to desktop as text) & "Treatment Report No Header.xls"
    tell application "System Events"
    set aName to name of disk item aFile
    end tell
    tell application "Numbers"
    open file aFile
    save document 1 (* maybe save document aName *)
    close document 1 (* maybe close document aName *)
    end tell
    tell application "Numbers"
    open aFile
    end tell

  • Since I downloaded Mavericks I can't open iPhoto anymore. Does anyone know where i can get a free update?

    Hi,
    I downloaded Mavericks a couple of days ago and since then I can not open my iPhoto (Version 9.2.3.) anymore.
    I cant find a free update...but I dont want to pay for the whole app again.
    What can I do?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You are running iPhoto '11, so you can get the latest iPhoto update for free. Open the Mac App Store, go to Updates and update iPhoto to the latest version.
    If you don't see it, switch the Mac OS X language to English in System Preferences > Language and Region, and restart

  • LR2.7 second (new) laptop can't open catalog on external drive

    I've installed and updated the same version of LR on a new laptop which I'm still setting up (Windows 7 Pro 64-bit). It sounds like it's ok to have two installs for one user at home, but the second one is still in trial mode so far. I wanted to see how much faster/better the new laptop handles the catalog which is on an external drive. The old laptop is Windows XP SP3 32-bit.
    If I connect the external drive to the new laptop and try to open the catalog, it says it can't use the catalog "because it is not writable and cannot be opened.
    This could be caused by incorrect permissions or because another Lightroom application is using the catalog...".
    I am an Administrator on both machines. I don't see a lock file, and the Windows permissions for System and Administrators allow all (but Special Permissions is unchecked).
    There are some photos on the old c: drive that I haven't copied over yet, but that shouldn't make a difference.
    And I can still open the catalog on the old laptop.
    What should I do?
    Thanks in advance.

    I hear that on Win 7, running as Administrator is not sufficient--you need to make sure that your account "owns" the files or directories that it's trying to access.
    Also, with LR not running, check in the directory that the catalogue is in and if there's a file with a ".lock" extension, delete it.
