How do I open the files that I download?

I go to my downloads, select the one I want, a window with options opens then I chose open but nothing ever happens, never opens.

There should be an option to open the download with an application that supports the file type.
If the remembered preferences need to be reset you can reset this about:config entry: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/985982#answer-542382]

  • How do I open the files that I have moved to creative cloud folder in Dreamweaver on the second computer?

    How do I open the files that I have moved to creative cloud folder in Dreamweaver on the second computer?

    Hello catherine915,
    On your second computer, launch the Creative Cloud desktop app.
    Click on the gear icon to display the dropdown menu. Select the option: "Creative Cloud Files"
    This will open up the Creative Cloud folder with all the files that you have synced over cloud.
    Hope this helps !
    Cheers,

  • I received a Pages attachment in email, but I can't open it. Says it's missing an "index.mlx" -- any idea what that is and how I can open the file?

    Received a Pages attachment in email, but can't open it. Error message says it's missing an "index.mlx" -- any idea what that is and how I can open the file?

    Many thanks ... after many trials and effort, the sender admitted he doesn't know what he did - he's new to Apple - so guess he'll have to get some training!  

  • HT4796 How can I take the files that were migrated from my PC to my Mac and add all those files to my current user instead of having 2 users?

    How can I take the files that were migrated from my PC to my Mac and add all those files to my current user instead of having 2 users? Having to log out just to sign in on a different user to access the files is absurd.
    Do I make all the files sharable to all the NOW users on the mac then just delete the files? Or can i erase my account that I made when starting up my new mac and then just use the one with the transferred files?
    I just dont want to have to og in and out of 2 different accounts .. Help please.

    Sorry. /Users is a folder path. It would be similar to C:\Users (if that exists on Windows).
    So, in the Finder, select Computer from the Go menu.
    You'll see Macintosh HD, double-click that to open it.
    In there you'll see several folders. One is Users. That is where all the user Home folders exist. Select the other account's home folder and go to step 3.
    If you have any more confusion, please stop and ask. We'll get there.
    If you feel more comfortable, you can just log into that other account and move the files into /Users/Shared.
    Then, log into the account you wish to use and copy the files from the Shared folder and paste them into your Home folder, wherever they belong, Documents, Music, Pictures, etc.  That just takes a little more work. Transferring them into Shared, and then copying into your home sets the permissions on the files so that you won't have a problem accessing them later. The steps I provided just prevent you from having to do the double move, since you are not going to use the old account once you are done.
    Quick unix shorthand. If someone gives you a file path that begins with a /, that means the root of the hard drive, ie Macintosh HD (if you haven't renamed it). The path separator in unix is /, not \.
    A path that starts with ~/ means your Home folder, the one inside /Users named with your account name.

    how can i open the file MPEG-2 Video, AC3 on my mac, when its coming from a sony camcorder?

    I think those files are Samsung's proprietary format, so only the Samsung software can open and display them.  If they do not make their software for OS X, then you are stuck requiring windows.
    I thought the DVR itself lets you save as standard avi as the backup file format?

  • Cannot open the file I have downloaded to get a new version of Photoshop

    I have had a new computer, and am trying to download the Photoshop Elements 10 again, but I cannot open the file that I get after 20 minutes of downloading from here: Download Photoshop Elements products | 13, 12, 11, 10
    In fact, I do have the installation CD as well, but when the set up gets just past the typing of the serial number, nothing more happens. The progress bar appears, but without any "bar" filling up, and the CD just runs and runs for ever.
    I have tried for three hours now ...

  • How can I get a free adobe reader to open the files that my instructor has sent and listen to her feedback

    Any Ideas?

    Hi tpcruiser22,
    Did your instructor provide PDF files?  You can get the free Adobe Reader for viewing them from www.adobe.com/products/reader.html.
    And if you want to "listen" to the files that your instructor provided, you can activate Read Out Loud in Reader by choosing View > Read Out Loud > Activate Read Out Loud.
    Best,

  • How do I open a file that needs  adobe reader on my iPad

    How do I open a file on my iPad that needs adobe reader.

    Safari and the Mail app support PDFs - tap on them and they should open. If you want to store them on the iPad then there are a number of apps that support them and which you can sync them to or use 'open in' on Safari or Mail to copy them to e.g. free apps such as Apple's iBooks and Adobe Reader

    Why would you be surprised?  You were syncing your Notes with iCloud or a Mail Account.  Synchronization means when you make a change on one device, it affects all other devices that are synched for the same purpose.  Like when you delete an email (usually) it also disappears from your other devices as well.

  • I have a 2007 iMac with version 10.6.8.  When downloading "some" files to my computer, these files become "zip files."  When I open the zip file, it produces a document in some coding language. How can I open the file to produce a legible document?

    I have a 2007 iMac with version 10.6.8 and 4GB of expanded memory.  When downloading "some" emailed documents, the downloaded file becomes a "zip file," which when opened looks like a coded message.  How can I open the "zip file" so that it produces a legible document?  Please, help!!  thank you!!!

    A "zip file" is a compressed file. "Zipping" in principle does not and cannot change the contents. So that if the contents before zipping are garbage, or unreadable on a Mac, when you expand the file you will get garbage or an unreadable file.
    The first thing to verify therefore is whether the file, before it was zipped, was in a "Mac friendly" format. Can you do that?
    You do not need an App to zip or unzip. These functions are built in on our Macs.
    And yes, zipping and unzipping using the built in functionality, work fine in OS 10.6.8. And 10.7 and 10.8 and 10.9.

  • I have converted most of my windows media files to itunes. However I had to close it down about 3 quarters of the way through. It then processed the album art. How can I convert the files that it didn't finish doing the first time? thanks

    Hi there,
    hope you can help me. I helped my sister convert her window media files to itunes and set up an account for her. Unfortunately her computer is really slow and it was really late and we had to turn it off. It processed some of the album art for the files that it had converted. However, some songs were not converted and because there was quite a few left, I don't really know which ones did not get converted as I selected  all of the folders. How do I find out which ones I have left to convert and put the rest of the songs onto itunes for her please? Or are they on the itunes still as they showed up initially on itunes in the list to be converted.
    Thank you!

    You could convert them all again and then dedupe, or use a Windows search to reveal all the WMA files and then try to work out which still need to be converted. If you're lucky iTunes would have processed the imports in alphabetical path order so it would just be a matter of working out where it had got up to...

  • How do I find the file that spotlight index is stuck on? (already know the file name)

    I was re-indexing my whole drive and it was going pretty smoothly until it was stuck for about 24 hours. When i took a look in console, this is what appeared:
    mdworker32(7488) deny iokit-open IOHIDParamUserClient (Importing type 'com.makemusic.mus' using 'file://localhost/Library/Spotlight/Finale.mdimporter/' - diagnostic:0 - find suspect file using: sudo mdutil -t 12366294)
    When I looked back, that "com.makemusic.mus" error message had pretty much been going on all day. I've tried to look for that file in the library preferences folders but I couldn't find them. I am using finale 2012. Can anyone tell me where I can find that file?
    Thanks

    Thanks for the update.
    The user is oracle and group is dba. I know from the name of the file that it is coming from oracle apps (somewhere in a custom program).

  • My Excel 2011 will not open an .xlsb file, how do I open the file?

    I have a working document that I need to access, but my version of Excel will not open the file. It states that there's an issue with the file, and some of the spreadsheet isn't supported "-slicer". Do I need to upgrade my Excel version, is there a patch? I need some direction.
    thank you.

    xlsb files are binary Excel worksheets, and many have problems with them. Make sure your version of Office 2011 is up to date. If that doesn't help, try reinstalling Office.

  • How can i find the file size before downloading

    I am trying to decide if I want to download a tv show [Doctor Who] in standard definition or high definition.  How can I see the file size before I purchase the show from iTunes?

    1. That's only getting the file size of the Preview.
    2. Click on a photo to select it. Then click on the info button. You can get the dimensions and the file size in the top of the pane
    Note that the final size of any image will depend on the export settings you choose.
