Dragging files to TextEdit icon does not open all of them

Hi all,
Many times I have to work with .doc files that contain smalls amount of text to be copied and pasted. So I don't open Pages or Word, TextEdit handles this documents quite well, unless I want to open a few of them dragging their icons over the TextEdit icon in my Dock. Some will open, some will not, so finally I have to drag those that didn't open to TextEdit afterward.
Then, the files open and I continue to work with them with no problems.
This looks like a bug, is it known? How can it be reported to Apple?
THank you.

The problems that you have encountered are most often caused by the CODEC that the files were encoded with. Both AVI and MOV are wrappers, and can contain a lot of different CODECs.
For the MOV, I'd look into QT-Pro for about US$39. It's just a registration key, but unlocks some decent power in QT. If the MOV plays fine in QT (Audio & Video), just do a Save_As and choose "Self-contained" MOV. Locate this in a separate folder. Then, Import these MOV files into Encore.
Personally, I'd use Premiere Pro as an intermediate step, but if you do not do any editing, Encore *should* then be able to handle everything. From PP, I'd Export as elemental streams, DV-AVI for the Video only and AC3 for the Audio only. These would get Imported into Encore.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - you might want to also post a link to the Encore tutorials, that you think were most helpful, as people always are asking for these. A list of good ones, could save others a lot of Googling - just a thought.

After upgrade to ios5, none of the apps will load. Touching an icon does not open the app; it just blinks and returns to the screen.

Go to the App Stor and download an app- any free app will do, it doesn't matter.
Doing this usually "resets" your device's "app awareness" and you should be able to run any app with no problem.
And no, you don't have to keep that free one you just downloaded. You can delete it if you don't want it.

Adobe gave me a url to download the program as my original CD did not work [nothing happened when I put the CD into my computer]I downloaded the program but when I double click the icon for PSE 5 I get what is in the program [such as images, popup, help etc.] The program itself does not open.

PSE 5 Reinstallation
I had to reinstall PSE 5 on my computer. It is no longer supported by adobe. They gave me a file to download the program, however when I tried to open the program after the installation I got a dialog box which in the blue bar at the top which says Photoshopelements_5.0_en_us. Inside the box there is a big list of files with icons in front of them. For examle cc_01_popup or pse_get_gp etc.
If you went into "my computer" and opened program files and clicked on a program the dialog box that opened would have the same appearance.

Firefox does not want to open popup or when I do "file new window" it does not open it too.

When I click on a link that opens a popup, firefox does not open it. Same for "File> New Window." Then, often after Firefox starts to malfunction and no longer wants to open my bookmarks. I uninstalled and reinstalled firefox, removed all extensions .. But this does not solve my problem. can you help me please?
Excuse me for my mistakes in English, I am a French person and I try to speak English the best I can so that you can solve my problem. Thank you.

Your above posted troubleshooting list shows quite a few extensions.
Did you really disable all of them and still had the problem?
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
Which security software (firewall) do you have?
Some can block pop-ups as well.

LR5.3 CC Catalog does not open all folders.

Hi !
Last week I upgraded from LR4.3 to LR5.3CC on Windows 8, and since them I'm facing issues with the catalog.
I have about 80.000 pictures in one catalog, splitted in subfolders by date. If I click in the main folder (Photos), I can browse all pictures:
All works well until Feb 10, 2011. When I click on the date, it gets highlighted and all works well.
But, when I click on any date following Feb 10, 2011, it does not highligh as expected (actually it becomes only a little bit brighter), and it does not open the folder for browsing, but the navigator shows the first picture in the folder. The picture counting for each folder is correct. When I add more pictures and more folders to the catalog the folders and countings are updated, but the problem remains in the new folder.
What have I tried so far.
1) I inspected the folders looking for strange files - didn't find any.
2) I recreated the whole catalog.
3) I created another catalog for some of those non working folders, and it worked fine.
4) I optimized the catalog.
5) I rendered 1:1 previews.
6) I rebooted LR and Windows.
It's very frustrating. Never had a problem with LR4.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks in advance,
Ronald

Optimizing the catalogue was a good move.
I wonder if this is a variation of the bug where Lightroom fails to display long lists on Windows. Usually after about 1600 items, keywords for instance, any subsequent ones are hidden. So I'm thinking 11th February might be the 1601st.
What happens if you add a year folder and drag the date-folders under it? I'd just create one year initially, 2010, and then see if folders after 2012-02-11 behave normally.

When i click on a .ics file in mail it does not open

When I receive a .ics file in email, when clicked it will not open. When held it will ask what program I want to use to open it with. I have sent myself a calendar request (.ics) and it comes in a different format to my email. With this I am abe to accept or decline the request.

This didn't help, because unless I'm missing something, all this does is give me the option of where to download, not the option to open instead of downloading. I used to get a window that asked me "What should Firefox do with this file?" It gave me two options: 1) Open with ... and 2) Save file. Under that there is another box that says "Do this automatically for files like this from now on." When I clicked on that box, I thought I was telling it to open the files from now on, but apparently I was telling it to save the files from now on. In a nutshell, I want to get this window back that gives me the option of opening the file immediately or downloading it. I don't just want the option of where to download, as your solution seems to be. I can't believe that selecting "do this automatically from now on" is irrevocable. Please help! Thanks.

Aperture 3.5 does not open all files in external editor (PS CS6)

When I select several photos in Aperture (which are parts of a panorama serie for example) and click choose to open them in the external editor (here Adobe Photoshop CS6), only a random subset are opened.
Aperture warns me if I want the (for example) 14 pictures to be exported for edition, I confirm, but I end up with only (for example) 9 photos in Photoshop. The missing ones can be any photos (not necessarily the first or latest).
Note that 9 is not an upper limit, I once opened 23 photos and only had 21 in Photoshop opened.
If I again select those same photos and choose to export them (either as PSD using the same format as with the Editor command, or asking for the original that was created for the external editor) to a folder. Then when I open all the photos at once form the finder (or Bridge) to Photoshop, I have all the photos in Photoshop. So Photoshop has no problem opening the files.
Do you have the problem too? How do you solve it?
For the time being I manually export the files, open them from the Finder, stitch them in PS and reimport the result in Aperture.
A bit tedious... If there is no work around, I will try to fiddle with some automation...
Final note:
PS CS6, Aperture and OS X are all at there latest respective versions (i-e respectively: 13.0.6, 3.5.1 and 10.9.2)

I was just noticing this issue with A2.0.1
Selecting multiple files in A2, only one would open in Photoshop.
I have found that, if when opening files from Aperture, the color setting profile in PS is different than the color tag in the image, such as sRGB vs aRGB, the mismatch warning appears and stops subsequent photos opening.
If the image profile matches the color settings in PS, then all selected photos open from Aperture to PS.

PDF file generated through PDFWriter does not open

After Sleep clicking on desktop icons does not open Finder window

The Subject line says it all. This problem has occurred 3 or 4 times since installing Leopard and does not occur after every sleep. The Finder window can still be opened from the Finder toolbar. The problem can recover after another sleep.

Quicktime Does Not Open All Movies

I have a video that was made in 1997, stored on a 1.44MB diskette, and now I'm trying to open it with Quicktime. Quicktime simply comes up with a white screen but goes through the automation.
The Type is "MooV' and the Creator is "TVOD". I have never heard of this type or creator. I have tried several different applications that work with videos without success. I know the video is there as some of the video applications show a proper thumbnail image of whats in the movie.
I would like to translate this to Quicktime. Some of the older software allowed this.
Can anyone help me?
Bud

You can try VisualHub from Techspansion:
http://www.techspansion.com/visualhub/
Also, try dragging the file on top of RealPlayer 10 while holding
down both  and Option (Apple Option) keys. RealPlayer is supposed
to be able to handle QuickTime files, it may even be able to open some
supported files that the current version of QuickTime will not open.
RealPlayer is available here:
https://order.real.com/pt/order.html?country=US&language=EN&mppi=0&mpposlist=0&mpst=0&ppath=cpmacpl060204a&pageregion=player_button&pcode=rn&opage=realh ome_spmac_bb&src=realhome_spmac_bb_0_1_1_0_0_20
( If the above link does not work, go to the front page, http://www.real.com/ , and select the blue button near the top right, " RealPlayer - Free " ).
If you are not able to open it with either of the two suggestions above, you can send me the file, and I will try to open it. I am almost sure that I can find a way to open it.
Hope this helps, take care.

When saving to bookmark folders, dropdown menu does not display all of them, just a few.

When attempting to save a bookmark, using "Bookmark this page" and then selecting Bookmark Menu to display a list of saved folders, the list of saved folders that appears is a short partial list. This list does not permit scrolling to view the remaining unlisted folders. All these folders are viewable/accessable when "Show all bookmarks".

Hello,
Firefox automatically creates backups of your bookmarks, which can be helpful if your bookmarks are lost or missing. To recover them, follow the instructions below.
#Use <u>one</u> of these methods to open the Bookmarks Library window:
#*Click the ''[[Display the Firefox button menu instead of the menu toolbar|Firefox button]]'' to open the menu and click on ''Bookmarks''.
#*Click the ''Bookmarks'' menu and click on ''Show All Bookmarks''.
# At the top of the Library window, click the "Import and Backup" menu and select Restore.
# Click the date of the bookmark backup you want to recover.
# In the new window that appears, click OK.
# Your bookmarks from the selected date should now be restored.
For more information, see the [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]] article. For other solutions, see the [[Recover lost or missing Bookmarks]] article.

Finder dock icon does not open a Finder window when a file is dragged onto it

In Snow Leopard and Lion, when you dragged a file onto the Finder dock icon, a Finder window popped open and you could then navigate to where you wished to place the file.
In Mountain Lion, this behaviour has changed. Now either nothing happens, or Mission Control Expose kicks in with a blank screen since there are no Finder windows already open to show.
Is this just my install or does everyone find this annoying removal-of a-useful-feature behaviour change? Seems like a mistake to me.

I never knew the feature existed, so I don't miss it. It also isn't something I'd use in my normal workflow.
However, it is disconcerting to lose functionality that was useful to you.

Mail.app, Link on signature-icon does not open URL

In a mail-signature I have a FaceBook-icon with a Hyperlink to a FaceBook-site.
- This link works not in a received message, when the recipient is Mail.app on Yosemite.
- With Mail.app on Mavericks it works well.
Behaviour:
- Double-Click opens the attached picture, but not the URL in the browser, as expected.
- URL ist shown correctly on MouseOver
... sometimes, condition are not reproducible ....it works :-(
To create the link I used the method as described at. http://mac-fusion.com/clickable-social-media-icons-in-your-mail-app-signature/
Can anybody confirm this behavior?
Any workaround in creating the Hyperlink - or is it a bug?

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.
