HT3775 i have a movie in a .avi file and when i open the file it attempts to convert and gives me an error message
I have a movie in an .avi file and when i open the file the Mac attempts to covert the file and it doens't play. What can I do?
VLC will play avi's, even if the index is broken. IT can repair most broken avi's but will still play them if it can't.

Hi - I need to download an iPad update and when I do the file successfully downloads and then proceeds to "progressing" then times out - I think it is my firewall but I have turned off all firewalls
If it scare y ou then take the machien back and ask the Apple Store to do this for you. What has probably filled your computer is large libraries such as music, photos and movies. Apple explains how to move those libraries to an external HD. Please read:

I have tried to download Mavericks on my 2010 iMac(10.6.8), but nothing happens, not even the install app downloads, also I tried to download chrome, I moved it to the applications folder and when I opened the folder it wasn't there. I have a 1tb hard drive that is mostly empty. By the way I just got this imac used from a reseller.
Mavericks downloads into the Applications folder, where you can install it. Some Mac App Store Troubleshooting information and how to resume a download that was interrupted; some of the information here might get you an answer. Failing that, try contacting Apple Support.

I have a new Sony alpha 77ii. My PS version is 5.0. When I open the files with Bridge they are .ARW files. How do I convert them to JPEG's or something I can view and edit?
You can use Adobe's free DNG converter to convert proprietary raws to the universal DNG raw format. Here are the links:
Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Adobe DNG Converter 9.0
Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Macintosh : Adobe DNG Converter 9.0
Converting to JPEG will be an extra step afterwards.

I have updated to Keynote 6.1, my App Store says I did it 2/1/14, I just created a new slideshow in 6.1 tonight, saved it all the way through while creating it, and when finished, saved it one more time, and closed the file. I treid to open it again, but I get an error message stating I need a newer version of Keynote to open the presentation. I check the "About Keynote", and apparently I still have 5.3 and I cannot open the file I just created in 6.1. I try changing the file to open with 5.3, but it won't do that either! The App Store won't let me re-download it. How do I get 6.1 back??? I need to reopen the file I just created.
I am finding that when I launch keynote from the Docking Station and it opens Keynote 5.3, so I command Q and close it. I then go to Finder, go to the Keynote slideshow I created in 6.1 and now cannot open, and CAN open the slideshow from Finder, which it actually open the file in Keynote 6.1.
I emptied my Trash.
What the heck is up with this???? And how do I fix it?? -
I have jumped from 5.1 to CC. When I open a file originated in illustrator 5.1 in CC it changes the CMYK breakdown. Have tried colour setting changes in Bridge but still have differences. Help!
Any warnings when opening the file?
You might need to reset all warnings in preferences.
Apart from that itlooks like your color management settings are set to convert into profile. This is absolutely not advisable. -

I cannot import my AVCHD files by using log and transfer. I can see all the files, but when I add the file to import que it doesnt work, the status is a red and says that its no data. I have tried with different cards and different cardreaders, but it is still the same. Why?!
Please give us more specific information -
What make/model camcorder are you using?
Are you absolutely certain this is AVCHD video? Tell us more about the video settings you used in the camcorder (eg, frame size, frame rate, quality level)
Why are you attempting Log & Transfer from a card reader instead of from your camcorder? Have you tried doing Log & Transfer from your camcorder?
Are the SD cards straight from the camcorder, unaltered, or are you just using the cards as storage?
Are you using FCE 4.0 or FCE 4.0.1? -

Really strange issue. Only on one project.
If i open the file, i can see logic running through the list of instruments, but the only window that opens is the fixed note length Midi transform window. I cant see the arrange window anywhere!
If i khit play on my midi controller keyboard, i can play the project and hear everything as it should be, but just cant see the arrangement.
If i attempt to close the Midi transform window, it wants to close the who project.
Any ideas on what i do!?
ThanksThanks, but i'd already tried that and it didnt work.
I have managed to fix it though, and for anyone else with the same issue, here is what i did:
Find your Logic project file
Right Click on the project, and choose 'Show Contents'
Open the displayed folder 'LgDoc'
Remove the file 'displayState'
open the project, and all should be good! -
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 Lightroom 5.7.1, boxed edition. When I open the software, it freezes and does not respond.
When I open Lightroom, it doesn't respond and gives me the aptly nicknamed "Spinny Beach Ball of Death."

There is not much more detail I can give! I have tried unsuccessfully 3 times to download firefox 5.01 for mac os. I appears that I have downloaded it and then when I go into the firefox browser - it still says I don't have the most updated version. It is very frustrating!
