FF thinks PDF files are binary files, doesn't give me the option to open them
I just got a new Mac, running OSX 10.7 Lion. I downloaded Firefox because I like it better than Safari. It's Firefox 7.0.1.
Aside from the fact that I can't figure out how to get all my bookmarks from the old mac to the new one, a really annoying thing is that I can't get the new Firefox to recognize PDF files as Acrobat documents. It thinks they are "binary" files, and the only option I have is to save them to disk.
I looked at the Applications preferences, and there is no entry for PDF files. I can't seem to create one. I checked the help and it says that to add a download preference you find the type of file you're interested in, click to download it, and tell it "open with" the application you want. But I don't get that option with PDF files, it doesn't let me tell it what to open it with, the only thing it allows me to do is either save to disk or cancel.
I use Internet Explorer for my browser.
A/A - I have reinstalled the latest version of AdobeReader.
When I click an attachment to view it, the first option I am given is to 'save' the file, and then the next pop up message gives me the option to either 'open' or 'view file'. The thing is that I don't want to 'save' each file to my laptop to allow me to see it. I want to be able to merely 'open' the file to view aithout actually saving it first.

The candy crunch icon has disappeared from my phone. I went to the App Store and pull it back up and it doesn't give me the option to install it, just open. When I do, it takes to my game where I left off. So my game is still there, but I can't install it on my phone.
Hey PlayerPS,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like the application you are looking for is indeed still on your iPhone. You can confirm this by searching in the Spotlight Search for this application. It may have accidentally been moved to a folder, or an additional Home screen:

I erased my windows partition using disk utility then realized I should have used boot camp, because now I can't resize the original partition and seem to be stuck with a ghost unusable space. Boot Camp now doesn't give me the option to install or remove windows partition.
Hi, Ralph,
The problem is that I did erase the partition, using disk utility, but I can't go back to my original disk size pre-partition, as disk utility won't let me do it and gives the message "Couldn’t modify partition map because file system verification failed." When I try to use Boot Camp Assistant it won't let me select the third option to remove windows. -

I'm trying to update my iPad 2 but it doesn't give me the option in the settings
See
iOS 5: Updating your device to iOS 5 or Later
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect to your computer & click on the "Update your device using iTunes".
Tip - You may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. After you update to iOS 6, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

My phone doesn't give me the option to turn mirroring on when trying to connect to apple tv. As far as I can see everything is updated and the AirPlay is turned on. Be grateful if anyone knows what's wrong.

I'm trying to record only part of my screen using my Quicktime 10.0, but once I press record in the "Screen recording" feature it automatically starts recording and doesn't give me the option to choose what part of the screen to capture. What gives?
QuickTime version 10 can only record the entire screen.
10.1, 10.2 and 10.3 offer part of the screen recording. -
I should be able to create an itunes account without a credit card but it doesn't give me the option of choosing none; Why?
Did you follow the instructions on that page exactly when you created the account ? They worked for me yesterday on my computer's iTunes when I tried them in response to another thread.
e.g. I logged out of my existing account and found a free app in the store and clicked on its free 'price'
I then clicked on 'create Apple id' on the popup :
And after agreeing to the terms and filling in my details I was able to select 'none' as the payment method. -
What if you have two questions but you remember your apple ID password? It doesn't give me the option to change my security questions/answers.
You need to contact Apple. Click here, phone them, and ask for the Account Security team.

My ipad doesn't give me the option to change my apple id...I have lost everything and it still insists that my id is my old id. What can I do?
Unfortunately, the G4 will only recognize a WEP password, as you have found out. WPA will not work.

So I've recently obtained a server domain name for a new email address for a new business. The service provider has an easy configuration step-by-step process for setup. I did this on my iPad, now I'm trying to delete the account and can't. Help? It doesn't give me the option when I go in through the settings.
Normally to delete an email account you use the Settings app.
Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > tap on the email account you want to delete > scroll all the way to the bottom to find the Delete button. -

How can I reset my security questions even when it doesn't give me the option to send the answers to my email??? I honestly dont even remember doing any security questions. This has just now become an issue since it has stop letting me purchases music on my Mac or IPhone.
To Reset Your Security Questions, You will need to call Apple (0800 048 0408) and Reset them, you'll need for verification access to the apple id web page (myappleid.apple.com) and it will ask for a temporary pin and also a iDevice on hand to recieve a code from Apple in order to reset your security questions

Adobe won't give me the option to 'open' files without saving.
I was not able to open .pdf files at all and realised that Adobe Reader had somehow 'gone' from my laptop. I have reinstalled the latest version but if I want to 'open' an attachment in n email it will only give me the option to 'Save' the file. I don't want to Save every file. Can someone please advise me how to get back the option to just ' open' the file?
I use Internet Explorer for my browser.

My apps are not showing on my home screen after the new iOS 6 update. They are in my iCloud but it only gives me and option to open. How do I get these apps back on my home screen?
Do you have an Restrictions set that would hide the apps? Settings>General>Restrictions
Have you used the Spotlight search? Maybe you just can't find them.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device. -
I recently purchased a second hand new macbook air, although it was second hand to me the previous owner had never actually turned it on. So i went through all the set up steps when switching it on for the first time.
My problem is that iPhoto and iMovie are not installed, and when i go to the app store the icons have an accept button, it then prompts me for my apple ID, obviously these a registered to the original owner, and says i need that ID in order to download them, or i'll have to purchase them.
I'm happy to purchase them, but it doesn't give me that option, every time i search for them in the app store they always come up with the accept option and no purchase option.
Any idea how i can get round this would be great fully appreciated.I recently purchased a second hand new macbook air, although it was second hand to me the previous owner had never actually turned it on.
Something doesn't make sense here, though I'm not saying the previous owner is lying....
Time to send your serial # to iTS and let them see what's happening here.
