File created in 6.5.2 on MacBook won't open in 6.5.2 on iMac
Nothing I create on my MacBook in any of the iWork apps will open in the same version on my iMac.
Yosemite on both computers, same software versions on both computers. Anyone else having these issues?
I forgot to delete my quicktime704.pkg file before I ran the 7.0 reinstall. Once I did that, the 7.0 and 6.5 reinstalls worked!

I have recently changed from a macbook to macbook pro and all my files were saved on time machine but some won't open. How do I open them?
Are you trying to open the backup files via the Finder or an application? If so, that's not how you should access your backups -- use the "Star Wars" display, per #15 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.
How did you get your stuff on the new Mac?
It sounds like you may have skipped the offer to transfer it when your Mac first started up, created a user account, then used the Migration Assistant app instead. If so, that may be the problem; doing it that way means you end up with an extra user account, and can lose permission to files on other volumes, especially backups.
Please clarify just what you're seeing, and whether you still have the old Mac. -
I just backed up my photos by copying my iPhoto Library onto an external drive. Now the Library on my MacBook won't open. I can only open the photos if the external is plugged in. How can I resolve this issue?
Exactly what did you do?
The correct steps are
Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive
My guess is that that you have not switched iphoto to use the external drive yet - opttion launch and select libary

I was trying to install the SEOQuake add on. After clicking install Firefox would hang up saying the script had timed out and asking if I want to stop it or continue. Didn't matter which option I chose nothing would happen. The only way to stop it was to close Firefox and restart. Tried restarting the computer. Still wouldn't install. Tried installing the Outwit add on and got the same error leading me to conclude it was a problem with Firefox, not the add on. I found this help page <http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Unable+to+install+add-ons?s=addons+won't+install&as=s> and did everything it told me to. Finally at the end I got to "Corrupt extension files". I foolishly deleted the files you told me to and now Firefox won't even start! I tried reinstalling Firefox and it still won't start. Tried restarting the computer. I have no idea how to get back to where I was let alone install the add ons I wanted to install. Please help. At this point I'd just be happy to be able to get Firefox working.
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.<br />
See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]]
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)<br />

Can't open file Domain.sites2 - OS 10.5.8 iWeb won't open.
hi, can anyone help?
I haven't installed Lion. i'm still using 10.5.8
I last edited my website on December 5,2011 and today it won't open at all.
Geting an error message Can't open file Domain.sites2
I've tried copying the file to a new location - but it won't open there either.
i've tried restoring a version from December 10th using Time Machine but it won't open that file either...
any ideas, anyone?
thanks
KatIn Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
To open your domain file in Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name. -
Files on one of my icloud email mailboxes won't open. No files in the mailbox will open
Files in one of my icloud mailboxes won't open. No files in this mailbox open, but other icloud mailboxes do. Any ideas?
Thank you. I tried the soft reboot again, and the home button has been working fine this whole time. I have tried deleting the email acct from the settings and the mail app still opens only empty frames. I have a screen shot of it, but don't know how to post it here to be able to show what exactly is happening.
The mail app will open. I can see the area that usually shows the messages themselves. I can also see the area that usually displays all the accts. Both these areas are completely blank. The search bar is showing on the left hand side, and up on the top right, the download button, reply, delete and compose buttons are showing. At the very bottom left the refresh button is showing. The app sits like that for about 20 seconds and then automatically closes. None of the buttons are responsive. I cannot see any of the email accounts I have in the app (3, usually but 2 at the moment since deleting the acct that seemed to have caused this problem).
I have force-stopped the app, shut down and restarted the iPad, and rebooted the iPad. None of these have helped. -
Hi guys, got a problem here.
Today I was using safari on my macbook and suddenly the webpages stopped opening. The airport detects my home wireless connection, logs on but the websites won't open. I have restarted my mac, tried problem detecting (says everything is fine), restarted my router, but I still can't do anything. The wierdest thing is all my other computers and iphone connect just fine with the same connection.
What can I do??? It was working just fine and suddenly just stopped. Ethernet is working fine...
Help please!did you just upgrade to 10.5.3??
did it used to work on 10.5.2?
I would check your system.log;
Go to System Profiler,
Select Software, Logs
Select "system.log" from the right panel, scroll all the way to the bottom,
if you see a bunch of kernal errors like (Beacon Lost) that is your problem.
At 10.5.3 they broke the macbook airport card it no longer sees the wireless router beacon.
If you roll back to 10.5.2 from the Leopard DVD it should work again. There is NO fix from Apple, for this to my understanding. I was hoping for a Aiport Broadcom firmware update or a patch but 10.5.4 came out a week later, nothing, same problem persists, the other day 10.5.5 came out, maybe by 10.5.96 they will fix it. Or someone will hack it back to the airport drivers used in 10.5.2.
This problem is annoying as **** and Apple is doing nothing about it. You can't take your Macbook to Starbucks or any other place and connect to their network, might as well drag out your old Toshiba with Ubuntu and take it. -
MacBook won't open pdf files with Adobe Acrobat Reader
I just bought a 13" MacBook and transferred everything from my 12" PowerBook to the MacBook. I just tried to open a file saved with Adobe and I get the following message:
You cannot open the application “Adobe Reader” because it is not supported on this architecture.
Any suggestions?Yep you need Adobe Reader for Intel. Actually you don't even need that. You could use Preview to view .pdf's but I always use Reader. Don't really know why

My macbook won't open any .exe files! help!
Whenever I download an .exe file, my macbook automatically opens it with my photoshop cs3 program--it's really irritating me because many programs that I NEED (for school and such) are .exe files and I can't figure out which application to use to open it.
Any suggestions?.exe files are Windows applications with a few exceptions that are self-extracting compressed files. You'll need to be running Windows in your system, via a virtualization system (such as Parallels Workstation or VMWare Fusion) or BootCamp to use Windows applications.

My macbook won't open firefox pdf files
About a week ago, my macbook quit opening internet pdf files. I checked for new software updates but it hasen't worked. Please help!!! No error message shows up, just a blank screen.
Hi...
Quit Firefox.
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar top of your screen, click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Click Go
Move the Adobe PDF browser plugin (or just PDF browser plugin) from the Internet Plug-Ins folder to the Trash.
Relaunch Firefox. See if that worked... -
My Macbook won't open .jar files
My daughter wants to set up a server on mine craft but every time she opens the .jar file it presents this message. On safari or chrome, I've looked at several different boards and help pages but none of it makes much sense. Could someone please help?
The security built into your Mac is preventing you from doing this. In order to launch the Minecraft Server, try and launch it and get the error dialog above, and click the "OK" button. Then go into "System Preferences..." by hitting the Apple logo in the upper right of the screen, and then go into "Security & Privacy". You will see this screen:
Hit the button "Open Anyway" to open theMinecraft server jar (a dialog will come up, hit "open"). Once you do this that .jar file will now always open with no prompting. You can also change this behavior by twiddling with the radio buttons above to select "Mac App Store" or "Mac App Store and Identified developers" or "Anywhere". As you can see I have it set to "Mac App Store" and I will choose on a case by case basis; this is safest.
Minecraft will create a bunch of files in the directory in which the .jar file is placed, I would recommend creating a new directory and moving the .jar file there before starting it. The most imporant of these is the "server.properties" file, it is here that your daughter can change how this game behaves. Additionally, by invoking mincraft this way you allowcate the default amount of memory to the server, this may or may not be enough. There are reams of tutorials on how to tweek Minecraft server elsewhere on the web, enjoy!
Good Luck! -
When I select "Choose Library" the itunes library file is subdued. I copied the library file off of Time Machine and put it back in itunes, but it remains subdued. I'm running OS X 10.6.8 and iTunes 10.4.1. Help?
I too had this problem and have solved it. After upgrading to iTunes 10.4.1 (Running OS X 10.6.8) I could no longer select library files. Previously, I would launch iTunes with the option key down to trigger the "Choose Library" dialog box. I have three libraries, each of them stored in separate iTunes folder within my user:music folder. I would then double-click on a given folder to open it and then double-click on the library file. After the 10.4.1 upgrade the library files were grayed out (not selectable). The problem was resolved by changing what and how I selected. When the three iTunes folders were displayed I clicked once on a folder to select it (instead of double-clicking to open it) and then clicked the "open" button in the dialog box. This resulted was iTunes launched with the library file contained in that folder.

New keynote made on macbook won't open on ipad
I upgraded the keynote on my late 2013 macbook retina and on both my ipad (latest version) and my iphone 5s. I created a new keynote today and saved it to icloud. I can open the keynote on my iphone, but it will not open on my ipad. I can see the file, but it is grey and will not open. I've deleted keynote off the ipad and reinstalled it. I've duplicated the keynote on my macbook and gave it a new name and saved it to icloud with the new name and now both files are grey.
Please help.LadyC,
Quit/Force Quit Calendar, then paste this text ~/Library into the Finder>Go>Go to Folder...window and select "Go." This will open the Users Library Folder.
Next open the Calendars and move any any files with "Cache" listed in the name field to your Desktop.
Also open the Preferences Folder in the same Library, and move the com.apple.iCal.plist file to the Desktop.
Log out/in or restart, and open Calendar.
