File / Open won't work

Bonjour,
I am a Mac user (10.10.2) and for some reason, since Illustrator 2014 CC got installed on my computer, I am experiencing a very annoying problem. When I work in Illustrator, it seems that after I opened files twice (different files), the File Open option becomes not available and the only way to make it work is to quit and reopen the application or drag a file on the Illustrator icon.
I noticed that I can use File Open as many time as I want until I actually save the file I am working in.
I Uninstalled and Reinstalled Illustrator and I still have the same problem.
Any idea on what is causing this and how to fix it?
Thank you.

I just reset my Preferences and it works but also, my open/place dialogue was set to column view and sort by date. I might want to change it as well.
Merci Messieurs!

How do I transfer my TV Shows from my iPad to iTunes if File Transfer won't work?

I just got a Macbook 4,1 from ebay which came out in early 2008. Ironically, this machine is way better than my Netbook from 2009. I couldn't store all my videos on my old Netbook because I didn't have enough room and am now trying to transfer all my videos to my new Macbook. Since my Macbook is old enough, all I have on it is Leopard and not Snow Leopard, so I can't just transfer everything the easy way. I tried to transfer videos off my iPad onto my Netbook, which has had almost everything deleted off it, but iTunes won't let me. How can I transfer the files if file>transfer doesn't work because it says I don't have enough room?

How much free space do you have on that Mac ? If you don't have enough space on it then you will either need to delete more of your content off it (an hour's long HD programme can be about 2.5 gig), or if you have an external drive you can could try telling iTunes to use that for its library (Advanced tab in iTunes > Preferences, command-comma).

Ctl-T nor the File-Open Tab are working any more. Did you kill this?

I am a heavy user of the Ctl-T function, which opens a new tab on my existing Firefox screen. It is no longer working. Also, when I select File - New Tab, that doesn't open a new tab either.
The File - New Window option works, but I don't want to have multiple Firefoxes open on my system.
I've used this feature forever, and in the last couple of weeks (didn't notice the exact time), it stopped working. Did you change something?

Try uninstalling the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and the current version of Firefox.

File Open Does Not Work In Any Applications

Installed 10.5 into two computers, a MacBook Pro and a Mac Pro. Lots of problems, many of which have been discussed here. Got the Mac Pro sort of working but the MacBook Pro WILL NOT open any files. Go to *File Open* in any application and it either does nothing or just scrolls down and then immediately scrolls closed.
Anyone else have this problem, and hopefully found a solution?

Running Windows 7 Home Premium, Firefox 7.0.1, File/Print won't work (doesn't open print dialog box) nor does control+ p nor will right click context menu ever highlight Print selection option after selecting part of a page, ie no printing whatsoever.

Previous versions of Firefox all printed. All other browsers, programs - Word, Outlook, IE 9, Live Mail, Excel, Adobe files/documents, etc. print. Have more Add-ons than list of plugins below. Can email jpg. screenshots of all printer settings in about:config. Can't paste them here or below.

Firefox file asoociations won't work in GNOME

I want Firefox to use the file associations from my GNOME desktop. I am using GNOME as the DE. As such, I obviously have libgnome installed. I've tried the other various fixes, including installing mozplugger, deleting mimeTypes.rdf, and using a clean profile, but Firefox is still using very wrong file associations. I have no intention of defining these all by hand in the Firefox properties window, I just want to figure out why it's not inheriting associations from the DE correctly. gnome-settings-daemon is running and the rest of the desktop works fine. I am using firefox-nightly, but don't have this issue elsewhere. Folders open in Cervisia, which is unhappy.
All help appreciated, thanks.

Try editing /usr/share/applications/defaults.list (or create it if it doesn't exist) with your default applications. Here is an example
[Default Applications]
application/pdf=evince.desktop;
image/svg+xml=eog.desktop;
image/png=eog.desktop;

Songs of right file type won't work!

It's mostly with the songs I rip from CDs, even after I change them to an MP3 format. Sometimes it happens with songs I download (from Limewire) too.
It's not that they won't go from iTunes to my iPod, they won't even go on iTunes at all. When I tried opening the files in Windows Media Player, it said, "The file you are attempting to play has an extension that does not match the file format". Is this the problem? If it is, what do I do to solve it?

So, it seems as though you tried to change the file format by just changing the filename. If you're able to open them through iTunes, you'd be able to convert them to another type, if you can't, nor put them back to their original format you might have to re-import them all. I'd recommend Importing them through iTunes itself.

Is it possible to Sync to a new computer when Windows Easy File Transfer won't work - followup

This is to answer cor-el who emailed me and gave me links to transfer the bookmark files from the old computer (XP) to the new computer (Win 8).
The problem is that I can't even get to "trouble shooting" in the Firefox menu. There is some file corrupt before I'm even able to get that far.
We found his old bookmark files on the hard drive, but eventually, on the old computer, the correct bookmarks loaded in Firefox only way deep in the bookmark menu so I had to drag them onto the toolbar individually and finally the new computer synced up with the correct bookmarks.
I would love to find the files for the bookmarks but I've looked and only found the old bookmark files (even looked where it said to look in "help"). In any case, please don't send me another link unless it solves my problem; I've worked on computers since 1984 and I know when the computer freezes up (and it does when I go to "help" and then "trouble shooting"—when I click "trouble shooting" is when everything stops.

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:
#* '''Firefox 29 and above:''' Click the Bookmarks button [[Image:Bookmarks-29]] and select ''Show All Bookmarks''.
#* '''Previous Firefox versions:''' Click the [[Display the Firefox button menu instead of the menu toolbar|Firefox button]] and click on ''Bookmarks''. (If you don't have a Firefox button, click the Bookmarks button [[Image:Bookmarks button win 2]] or ''Bookmarks'' menu item and select ''Show All Bookmarks''.)
# At the top of the Library window, click on ''Import and Backup'' 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.

Photoshop Album SE won't open, won't work

I have downloaded and installed several times. The license comes up and I accept. Then Photoshop Album SE logo comes onscreen but it never initializes or opens. Just sits there. I go to CTRL-ALT-DEL and see that it is "Not responding," so have to End Task. -- It never gives me a chance to register and get an unlock code. Any suggestions?

Hi, Jim. I used a desktop PC, WindowsXP, and Internet Explorer. I have downloaded three different times rather than just re-installing the DL that didn't work. Each of those times, before re-installing, I went to Add/Remove and did a repair, but to no avail. Then went back to Add/Remove and got rid of the non-working one. Also used Registry Optimizer to clean out any left overs. Then downloaded a fresh zipped copy and installed anew. But always same result. Which was seeing the opening logo screen with tiny writing on the bottom that said "Initializing model" --- but never anything else.
Taskmanager said program was "Not responding." -- I read the Forum and saw suggestion to hold down CTRL key while loading the program. Did that. Nothing. -- Thanks for your interest.

Why file.delete() won't work?

I looked throught the forum and I have seen that my problem isn't the most uncommon one. I'm trying to delete a file using file.delete().But it always return false. I have used the file for reading(and sometimes writing) before but I have closed the stream, I have checked that many time ;).
This has me a little confused. The file ins't write protected either. Is there perhaps anyway to close all streams assosiated with a certain file?

     try {
            boolean success = (new File(currentFile)).delete();
            if (!success) {
               statusLabel.setText("Error");
            readPatients();
         catch (SecurityException se) {
            System.out.print(se);
         }Should work, shouldn't it?

Wvdial upgrade took my lib file and won't work

Upgrade of wvdial took my /lib/libwvutils.so.4.0 shared object file. Was lucky I had pppconfig installed. Any place I can get this file?
Thanks, folks. I installed wvstreams and didn't even have to symlink to get it to work!
Again, thanks for the good advice.

wvstreams contains /usr/lib/libwvutils.so.4.0 you could just symlink it to /lib/libwvutils.so.4.0 if you really need to.

PDF files open blank; EPUB work OK; Authorize Computer & Authorization Info. do nothing

Running ADE 2.0.1.78765 on Windows 7 Pro ...
I can download ePUB and PDF files from my university library just fine;EPUB books workin just fine, but the PDF files are completely blank EXCEPT for the contents list.
The files are, by their size, clearly not blank ... there must be some security feature stopping me from reading them.
Also, when I click Authorize Computer or Authorization Info. nothing happens.
Same as when I press Ctrl+Shift+U or Ctrl+Shift+I.
Help!!!

Thanks for those tips.
I have downloaded and installed the latest version and chosen to 'authorize' an Adobe ID.
Behaviour remains the same. The ePUB version of the book downloads and works just fine; the PDF downloads and is blank aside from the contents pane.
The reason I want the PDF to work is because it is paginated as per the hard copy book; the ePUB's pagination is variable and so useless for referencing.
I see a lot of people have similar issues, invariably unsolved, so yet another pothole on the great Information Super Highway! Sigh.

I have mpg files that won't work...any ideas?

I have MPG files from an old video camera. I want to be able to view them on my macbook, and also make a DVD of the old movies.
When I plugged my camera into the macbook the files were MPG, and quicktime would not play. Questions are....should I download
the quicktime MPEG-2 component for Mac OS X? ( AND OR )should I try to convert the files to a diff kind...ie...MOV or MPEG-4?
Thanks

I have MPG files from an old video camera. I want to be able to view them on my macbook, and also make a DVD of the old movies.
Use iMovie '08/'09 to import the MPG (MPEG-2/AC3) files to your hard drive directly from your camcorder. This should convert the MPEG-2 video to edit compatible all I-frame MPEG-2 content, as well as, convert the AC3 audio to edit compatible AIFF lineral PCM audio and place them both in an MOV file container. This combination can then be edited in iMovie, played and/or converted by most QT apps to other compression formats or imported to iDVD for reconversion for authoring back to burnable DVD content.
If you files are already on your hard drive and cannot be imported directly to iMovie from the camcorder, then you can use Handbrake to convert the files to MPEG-4 or X264/H.264 video with AAC audio for playback, editing, or authoring to DVD. Otherwise your best bet is to purchase the QT MPEG-2 Playback component ($19.99) and use the free MPEG Streamclip app to convert your MPG files to DV, AIC, Photo-JPEG, Motion-JPEG, or QT edit compatible video format and any edit compatible audio format for playback, editing, and/or authoring as a DVD,
