HELP I can't open a file!!!

I have a video camera and I'm trying to load it on my mac, it doesn't know the file. All of my videos are .tod files what can I do to get them to play on my mac??????

Never heard of a .tod file so I did a Google search & found the following:
Apple iMovie HD & Squared 5 MPEG Streamclip can open .tod files.
CLICKY CLICK--> Convert Mod, Tod files to AVI on Mac
You may wish to do your own Google search. There are hundreds of .tod file converters.
Another thing you can do is cross-post in the QuickTime for Mac OS Forums. That place is full of knowledgeable users that can perhaps offer quite a few solutions and/or work-a-rounds for you.

  • Help! Can't open .dmg files suddenly, and can't find stuffit expander application!

    My iMac is currently running on Mac os x 10.5.8, **out of nowhere my computer can't open dmg files. I can't seem to find the stuffit expander application anywhere in my hard drive either, which usually opens these files. Is there another application that can open dmg files? Help Please! I need to open multiple dmg files tonight and can't figure out a way around this. Downloading/running a new stuffit expander application also happens to be a .dmg file. If anyone can help me I'd appreciate it so much!

    Do you mean DiskImageMounter was chosen or not?
    No change on that .dmg or on on others?
    If you want to apply DiskImageMounter to all you have to choose "Change All".
    EDIT: Also, Repair Permissions from /Applications/Utilities/ Disk Utility.
    Also, George Orville has some interesting advice in this thread
    Note this advice is for 10.3 but much of it will apply here.

  • Please Help!  Can't open pdf files online.

    Several days ago I attempted to update my Adobe Reader.  I'm using a MacBook with OS 10.9.3.  I have a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.  After installing I received an error which says "internal error occurred"  After reading LOTS of websites, I finally used my Time Machine and reloaded the old adobe version.  It works to open pdf files on my computer, however, when I go to websites, it says that I have to accept the adobe legal agreement before the pdf is opened.  So many webpages are locked because I can't figure out where to accept these permissions.  Firefox will open these same web pages, but the screen is filled with distorted writing, all which basically curses adobe.  I believe your software has a virus and I wonder if you've found a fix.  Please help!

    Hello Pat,
    Thank you for your reply, however, when I launch the older Adobe Reader application, it simply opens and does not ask for me to accept the agreement.  When I launch the newer Adobe Reader, I receive an internal error message and then the reader crashes.  I have attempted to re-load the new reader many times, I've deleted all of my old Adobe files including the files located under LIbrary/....  For many days I wasn't even able to open PDF files which are saved on my hard drive.  Using Apple's Time Machine, I was able to restore an older version of Adobe Reader which I can use to open files on my hard drive.  However, with the old reader and with the new reader, I still cannot open files on the internet - many web pages have items that I wish to open (spec sheets for example).  I have to send the links via email to myself and open them on another computer (extremely inefficient and time consuming). 
    I decided to try using Firefox and what I noticed is that when I try to weblinks that are PDF files, they open with distorted lines of text.  When you read the lines of text, there are broken sentences that say odd things (some profanity) that are directed at Adobe.  I won't repeat the lines here.  If someone from Adobe would please contact me directly (you should have my email information), I would greatly appreciate it.  It's obvious that there is a virus in your software. 
    I need help ASAP because my computer is my business computer and I'm really at a halt.  I need to have access to spec sheets which I can no longer open - or even download.  Buying a new computer to fix my Adobe Reader is not an option.
    Please help.

  • Help! Can't open pdf files!

    I get a message saying the "file name" is not supported or has been damaged. Everything worked yesterday!
    I have Adobe reader XI and my OS is Windows 7. This is also happening on my boss's computer. She also has Adobe Reader XI. Her OS is Windows Vista.
    Many of our files are stored on Google Drive. When we go online to our documents, we can open them, but can't download them. It is our already downloaded files that we can't open.
    We both recently ran Malware Bytes on our computers to get rid of any potential security threats..could that have caused the problem?
    We need our files!! Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Can you open one of these problem files with Notepad, then copy & paste the 1st 20 characters or so back here in the forum?

  • Help!  Can't open downloaded files.

    I recently purchased and downloaded a program for creating genograms. During downloading, I selected "Open with Stuffit Extender" as default, but when it was downloaded onto my desktop, the icon attached to the program was a "Word" icon. Thus, Word is the Default application that is opening the program. SO, I CAN'T open a program I just paid $50 for. I don't know how to select the right application to open this program file. Some downloads are opened with Word, sometimes with Exel. Please help!! --Thank you!

    Select the file in the Finder, choose Get Info from the File menu, and change the default application for that file to StuffIt Expander. Alternatively, you may be able to open it by dragging it into the open StuffIt Expander window or the StuffIt Expander icon in the Dock.

  • Please help Illustrator can't open my files

    I worked on a design saving it about every 10 minites  and also saving a copy every hour. Later, when I try to open any of the copies of this file, Illustrator gives me this error:
    the file opens but most of the objects are gone.
    I managed to open the file with Adobe Accrobat and saved it as eps then open it in Illustrator but the paths are mess and all effects converted to embeded images.
    I also placed the file but if I try to edit the link it gives me the same error and when I embedded the link it was a little bit better but similar mess like the eps saved from Acrobat
    I'm using Illustrator CS5 on Windows 7.
    this is a link to the problem file:

    There are two ways to approach a serious file recovery:
    A) The easy way that costs $27 and may be tested before purchase is a 1 year licence. You can find it here:

  • Help I can't open raw files in lightroom

    For some reason every time I try to import files that are RAW it states my files are not there or corrupted.  I have them in a file on my computer hard drive and on an external hard drive.  I don't know what do do.  any import would be helpful

    Camera? How are you importing them (i.e., what options)? What is the exact message you are getting? What version of the product are you using?
    Can any other application open these files up?

  • Help!  Can't open Raw files

    Hello all, Not exactly an expert here but I am trying to follow the instructions. I have cs2 and trying to open raw files. I have downloaded the update, as instructed, unzipped and placed in the file, again, as instructed. CS2 STILL says 'can not open as is the wrong type of file'. I really want to get the grips with raw but can't even get past the first step.
    Thanks,
    Lucy

    Are you sure you have installed the correct version. The CS3 version of ACR does not work with CS2.
    This is the link to the last version that was created for CS2
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=3587
    It should be installed in this folder on a standard windows installation.
    Program Files/Common Files/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS2/File Formats
    If you already have the right file in the right place, it might mean your camera came is relatively new. Adobe stopped updating ACR for CS2 when CS3 came out. IF your camera came out after that then ACR for CS2 wont open it.
    You could use the Adobe DNG converter or get a third party RAW Converter. Some of the newer versions of Elements also support the new version of ACR

  • Help! Can't open psd file

    I've been working on a large file for a while. I've been using the same computer with CS2. Now, the same computer, won't open the file I've been working on. The file has never been worked on using a different computer or a different version of Photoshop. I get the message "Could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop". Any ideas how to fix this?

    Also if the file is over 2GB in size it will not open. you will need to open a backup that has not gotten to that size. If the file is over 2GB save as PSB.

  • Help! Can't open any files....

    I don't know if it is a coincidence or not but I downloaded 10.4.4 a few days ago and ever since have not been able to open any files. Double-clicking on anything on the desktop is greeted with a resounding.....nothing. Opening e-mails is impossible. Playing more than one track on itunes is impossible. It feels like the Mini has had a stroke, with only Safari being accessible. I have tried running a hardware test with the CD, but that won't open either. Restarts achieve nothing. Any suggestions? Or am I going to have to take it for repair?

    Have you tried repairing permissions ?
    If not, then go to Applications > Utilities, launch Disk Utility, select your hard drive (Macintosh HD unless you renamed it or boot off an external FireWire HD) and click on Repair Disk Permissions.
    And if it still doesn't work, you might want to download and run a small 3rd-party utility such as Yasu which will perform maintenance/troubleshooting tasks such as clearing logs, system and font caches etc.

  • Help! Can't open Raw files in lightroom 2!

    I have been editing my raw files in Adobe bridge but I just purchased  Lightroom 2 and would like to start to use it but I can't! I go to import my raw files and by they end, it says my files were not the right type or corrupted but I can see them in Bridge. Does anyone know if there is a plugin or something for lightroom 2  that I'm obviously missing to fix this? THANKS so much to however has the answer.

    Glad you solved it for yourself. Sometimes hitting it also helps
    Might it be that they were sRAW or mRAW, and now you're importing full size RAWs?

  • Help I can't open raw files in lightroom-tearing my hair out....

    That is lightroom 2 I have that info may be helpful.  

    I'm afraid you'll have to give us more information.  What version of Lightroom 2, 2.1, 2.2, 2.7?  And, what camera are you using?  Have you checked it your camera is on the supported list for the version that you are running?  What operating system are you using?

  • Can't open Numbers file after moving it back to Mac from Dropbox

    Please help!  Can't open Numbers file after moving it back to iMac from Dropbox.   Says I need the newer version of Numbers each time I tried to open the file.  I am 100% sure that I had the newest version.   Spoke to the AppleCare guy and after doing the checks he is also sure that I had the latest version of Numbers and AppleCare can't help.  He suggested that maybe i should run it on a file repair program...any suggestion?... please help...

    I've read reports of people having trouble when storing Numbers 3 documents on Dropbox.  I think it's related to the fact that they're not really "files."  They're "packages" that look like files. I had thought that Dropbox had cleared this up with their latest update. You should be on Dropbox version 2.4 or later.
    If you have Time Machine you may have some luck going back in time and restoring the document from a previous version.
    Storing Numbers documents on iCloud works much better, at least for me, and (unlike Dropbox) iCloud facilitates automatic syncing to other Macs and iOS devices signed into the same Apple ID.
    Perhaps you could consider keeping Numbers documents in iCloud instead. iCloud is deeply integrated into the app, and now works well.

  • Can't open old files in Pages. Don't want to upgrade. Help please

    I am happy with my old Pages program ... some files I created on the old Pages open fine, as normal. However, some files I created on the
    old Pages (created in Dec. 2013) will not open. I get a pop up from Apple saying that I have to upgrade.
    I would be delighted to upgrade and pay the $20 but I read horrible reviews about the new Pages upgrade. So I would like to stick with my old
    Pages but how can I open these files that are closed to me unless I purchase the new upgrade. Inexplicably, I can open some files that I created this month on the old pages. But some will not open.
    Is there a trick to opening these Pages files ?
    Or should I go ahead and get the new download and take a chance. I only mix text with photos ... no footnotes.
    Please help.  Many thanks ..

    Hi Jerry ... you were absolutely correct ... I must have downloaded the new version since I found Pages-Applications in Spotlight. Then I dragged it from Application to the dock where it now sits next to my old Pages. I tried to open up my file but still could not. How can I export it back to Word 09 (my old Pages) if I cannot open it. And this file will not open now, even when I have my new Pages in the dock. Or should I just give up on opening this file.
    Also, I think I prefer the old Pages (Word 09) ... how can I make sure that I am creating documents in this program. I assume that I can keep it and continue to work with that. I guess the only way to prevent this from happening again is to check if I am using the old Pages before I start a document ?? 
    Many thanks again, Don
