HELP! Files won't open and previously had Firefox icon instead of DW icons! Leap Year thing?

Hi! I went to update my website, which I do every night before the first day of every month and all the files had a FIrefox icon instead of the usual Dreamweaver one. I have shut down, reinstalled DW MX 2004 but the files still do not open. The icons have now changed to DW but they are not opening with right click, opening from Applications folder, double clicking the file, from get info and open with DW. I am stumped. HELP! Need to update for March 1st.
Is it something to do with Leap Year 29th Feb? Checked the clock in preferences but can't see how this affects it.
Firefox is always updated but the latest version does not seem to be as efficient as previous upgrades. We installed Chrome as well. Do they interfere with each other?

Hi Ken
I wish the 7.1 updater download had helped but it didn¹t. All the files
were backed up before the installation, which went fine.
Mac 10.5.8
We used Disc Warrior to defrag the hard drive, which did not make a
difference.
We recently started using Chrome, so now have 3 browsers in the dock,
Safari, Firefox and Chrome. Do they interfere in any way with each other?
The files, which I hadn¹t touched for a month as I update on a monthly
basis, initially had the Firefox icon.
Below is the message to send to Apple, which did not go through their report

I am not late with updating the site, which is about New Zealand culture,
month by month (www.englishteacher.co.nz). Probably only the third time I
have been late since 2005. Not a huge amount of traffic, ~300 a month and
free access to content but I would like to solve this problem.
Could a reciprocal link have caused a problem?
At my wits end.
I really appreciate the help though.
Cheers Yvonne

Not necessarily related, but did you also install the 7.1
updater? http://www.adobe.com/support/dreamweaver/downloads_updaters.html
Windows or MAC?

Help files won't open

I just installed PSE 7 on Windows XP Pro and the help files will not open and I can't connect to online resources through the program. Can anyone help me?

Hi Rick,
Open this URL: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/PhotoshopElements/7.0_Win/
Clicking the help link from PSE7 will ultimatly take you to this link. Just save this help document by clicking the PDF save option on the top left of the browser. You can access everything in the PDF even offline. There is no difference between the PDF file and the online help files.
Regards.

Downloaded files won't open, and mouse sometimes disappears

Hey there,
I've just been having some rather minor problems with my iBook, and I thought maybe someone could help me out.
First of all, my iBook won't open a lot of applications that I download. It says that it can't find the application to open the programs with. I looked on a few of these forum threads, and it said to download the Stuffit program. I dowloaded the latest version, but when I went to open it, my computer gave me the same answer as it did for all those other apps- that it couldn't find the application to open it up with. I went back and downloaded the previous version of Stuffit, but that had the same result. How can I get files to open on my computer?
Also, sometimes while I'm in Safari, the mouse arrow completely disappears until I either scroll over a picture or click the back/forward arrows. Anyone have any ideas on why this happens? It doesn't really do anything bad, it's just annoying.
Well, thanks for reading this, and have a good day!

Ok, maybe this will lend some insight to the Safari cursor behavior.
I was on the Slashdots' main page. I had not experienced the issue since yesterday.
I proceded to follow this link, opening it in a new tab:
http://www.crn.com/sections/breakingnews/dailyarchives.jhtml?articleId=188701694
When on that page, the cursor would start rapidly switching from a pointer to a hand. I clicked on the tab for Slashdot. Problem gone! I tabbed back to the CRN page in question and reloaded it. Problem is back. To clarify, I did not have to reload the page for the problem to persist, it was just something I tried.
I emptied the cache and reloaded. No change.
I would like to add that this in no way interferes with productivity when working in Safari, it's just really odd is all.
Any ideas?

My epub file won't open, I've had other files of the same type from apple which have opened in sony reader.

So, I bought a book, and it won't open on reader.
I have bought other books in the past which have opened and hav worhed without any problems, but this oe won't

In your last post here, you also had the same problem with the cover, which I think was due to the CMYK mode settings. Now I have no idea if iBooks doesn't display cover images that are CMYK, but usually images should be RGB (or Grayscale) in EPUB in order for them to display in ADE and Nook.
Are there any other problems in the EPUB, i.e. other than the cover?

Numbers file won't open and says ' "filename" can't be opened'

I use Numbers for all my spreadsheet work and have an issue opening just one file which was last opened 26 Jan 2014. All my other files open ok and I have tried both versions of Numbers incl 3.1. All I get is a quick pop up notice saying ' "filename" can't be opened' There is no explaination and it is odd as I can open all my other Number files. I did have Numbers quite on me unexpectedly when I had this file open so could it be corrupted? This file was stored on iCloud so I could work on it on my iPad as well as my MBA.
Suggestions for a fix or advice would be greatfully received.

Make sure that you are properly signed into iCloud and that Share Documents is enabled.

Binary files won't open since I upgraded Firefox for my mac.

Ever since I've updated my Firefox for my mac, I can't open Binary files. Example: When I click on an email attachment a window opens - You have chosen to open
"File Name"
which is a: Binary File
from: http:/where.ever
Would you like to save this file?
When I chose "save file" my "downloads" window would pop up but the file would not be there.
I was able to remedy that problem to the point at which the file would show up in the "downloads" window but when I attempted to open the file I would get:
! Couldn't open the file. It may be corrupt or a file format that Preview
doesn't recognize.
So far this has happened with all Binary files I have attempted to open since my Firefox update.
Never had this problem before.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I updated Firefox

Exactly the same problem. It doesn't happen with Safari. Seeking help before I abandon Firefox!

HELP!!!! file won't open but could open before

ok so this file was opened a few hours ago and work was done on it. we went on and worked on other projects and now had corrections to do on it again but now it just won't open. in fact all of the files found within the job folder won't open.
i can create a new file and save it
i can open other job files no problem
but those particular files won't open and it causes my illustrator to crash.
wierd thing is that on other computers the files open no problem.
by the way i reinstalled illustrator and the problem persists! are there cache files or preference files i can delete or something to do to reset illustrator completely that isnt done when i uninstall!?
this is done on a Mac Pro quad core, 4 Gb of ram, adobe cs 4, mac os x 10.5.8

The problem was font related!
we took all the system fonts from another mac and overwrote all of the system fonts in the problematic mac.
and BINGO
problem solved!

Template fla file won't open in Flash MX

I am having trouble opening up the Music_MX.fla into
my Flash MX........is there anyway that I can find freeware or get
this file to open.......error messages include: file format not
found and unable to open file. thanks

Open Flash first, then use the File... Open... and navigate
to the fla that you want to open. If this file won't open, and it
is marked that it should work with the version of Flash that you
are using, then it should open using this method. If the file
doesn't open, then return it, or get a new copy.

I just used stellar phoenix mac data recovery and it seemed to work but now my files won't open. Even though they are "jpeg, mov" files the error message is could not be opened. The movie's file format isn't recognized. " Any help or are they corrupted

I just used stellar phoenix mac data recovery and it seemed to work but now my files won't open. Even though they are "jpeg, mov" files, the error message is "could not be opened". The movie's file format isn't recognized. " Any help or are they corrupted?

Sounds to me like the file is probably corrupt. If you had hard drive corruption or damage, that could easily result in recovered files not being fully intact. If you were trying to recover accidentally deleted files, it's possible they might have been partially overwritten before recovering. There are never any guarantees with file recovery.
Without more information on the circumstances that led you to try recovery, it's hard to give advice on what to try from here. You could always try another file recovery tool, like Data Rescue 3. Just be sure you're taking appropriate precautions when doing recovery. See Recovering deleted files.

TS1717 My Itunes won't open and I am getting message "the file "iTunes Library .itl" cannot be ready because it was created by a newer version of iTunes". Any suggestions?

My iTunes won't open and I am getting message "the file iTunes library .itl"cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes. Anyone have a suggestion?

I don't know why this error occurs, unless you have attempted to downgrade iTunes.
This method should get you up and running again.
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

Changed %windir% variable into something else and now most of my administrator files won't open

I have an Alienware 14, Windows 7 . So I changed the variable %windir% into something else and now most of my administrator items won't open. A lot of my files won't open anymore. When I try to open some things, it would say "The system could not find
the environment option that was entered." Help!!!

Not so much wpf there really.
Have you considered changing the %windir" variable back?
To what it was before you broke it?
Hope that helps.

I deleted adobe and now files won't open with preview automatically like they use to. How do I fix this?

I think you solved my problem! Upon following your advice, I first got a message that I had not allowed a connection to the Tax dept computers, which would prevent the file I need to fill out from being e-filed. I proceeded to then open the file at the top of which was a security banner at which I chose the site as safe. I then filled in the first line of the form which autofilled other lines telling me I was connected with the tax site. In a few days when I have the data I need, I will actually attempt to file the return. If there is a problem, I will send another message. Thanks so much for your assistance!

When I try to open an .ai/pdf file received through my email, it won't open and asks for a password. I have never set up any kind of password for email security, but have tried typing in my standard passwords. Nothing works. I wonder if it has anything to do with the use of my Wacom3 Tablet...I've been having trouble with it and was getting the same message when trying to open the User's Manual in my Applications/WacomTablet file on my hard drive. Any suggestions? I just downloaded the latest version for the Wacom and recently upgraded to Snow Leopard 10.6.7 (which I hate, and my CS3 hates, etc.)

It sounds like you have a a password-protected PDF. The password was set by the person who encoded it.
