I am having a problem moving files from an imac in one location to an imac inanother location. I have tried using Dropbox which is installed in both locations but when i drad a file ino yhe app it becomes an alias. When I get to the other location it says I can't open the file because the " original application that created it is not present". This is despite the fact that the app that created both files is installed in both computers. If I use the Public folder in the idisc, when I get to the other location the file isn't there. Am I forgetting to turn something on or off? Should I manually sync the Public folder and if so how? Thanks

iCloud does not provide this facility: you will need to find a third-party alternative. This page examines some options:

My iPad 3 Will not update ils apps.. They are there but I can't open them... I have Internet .. It just says not available right now.. It's been 3 days????
Quick update, the duplicate of the comic-con episode downloaded succesfully, and so has the first episode of Supernatural season 8. Blue dots appear to their left in the library.
All the Vampire Diaries episodes (except the bonus comic-con double) have vanished, but I paid for them !
They're not anywhere on my harddrive either.
Which is new by the way, this is a new MacbookPro, literally set it up today.
So it would seem this is a case of purchased and pseudo-downloaded episodes that ended up beinge gobbled up by some iTunes black hole, leaving me with no money, and no episodes.
Need help, confirmed. -
My laptop has crashed and I can't sync my iPad air. I have tried to back up off I cloud but it hasn't transferred all of my photos or music. Is there anyway I can access my iTunes account any other way?
Your iTunes account won't include your non-iTunes purchased e.g. music copied from CDs etc, nor photos that were synced from a computer.
To get non-iTunes music you will have to go via a computer. If you don't have that music on, for example, an external drive, then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy them back from a device : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
For photos that were originally synced from a computer then there are apps such as Simple Transfer which can copy them between devices and/or to a computer (though photos are 'optimised' as part of the syncing process, so if you do copy them back to a computer then they might not be the same as they were on your laptop).
There is also this page for syncing to a new computer : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141 -
Icons keep leaving my dock. I put them back and they leave again. How can I keep them on the dock?
icons keep leaving my dock. I put them back, and they leave again. How do I keep them on the dock?
Did you request that they be left in the Dock? To do this you activate the application and its icon will be in the Dock, click and hold on it, a pop-up menu will show near the icon and in it will be a menu with "Option" in it. Click on "Option" and you will find an item that will say "Keep In Dock", click on it and the icon will stay in the Dock. If you have done all this and the icon still goes away someone else will have to help you.

I just bought a New Apple Pro Book. Tried getting Facetime up and working with no luck. Won't accept APPLE ID and won't accept a new account. Tried to buy app thinking it was that but told me it was already installed on the mac. Do I have to fix a setting or something that I am not aware of.
My whole family used the same APPLE ID and I have this apple ID on my IPHONE for facetime. Do we need a new one if so why can't I create a new one???You can use the same AppleID for App Store purchasing Apps, Books and Music. (So you can share between family members, no need to re-purchase)
But for other Apple services like FaceTime, Message, Game Center (next Mac OS release) etc You should use a different Apple ID.
To start, you need an e-mail address (Gmail from Google, Yahoo from Yahoo, or Hotmail from Microsoft: there are all free). Use the browser for example to search for gmail.
1. Create an e-mail account following the instruction given. (Take note of email address you created and password use, password should include numbers, letters and uppercase letter)
2. Test that new e-mail account by sending a test email to that account (GMail mails can be view using the browser)
3. use this link to create a new Apple ID: https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/ using the new e-mail address you created.
Not wanting to overload you. After you have all that come back here again and we go from there.

A friend gave me her cds to copy so that she could put them on her itunes library and put them on her ipod. she couldnt spare the time for me to do this directly to her computer as she needs it for work all the time and she travels a lot. I copied all the cds to my (default) library although I could log into her account. I then copies them to a jump drive. When I tried to upload them to her itunes library on her computer it does not allow me to do so... Am I doing something wrong or is this a preventative issue so that people dont re-copy CD's. I have no interest in any of her music or CD content and would gladly delete from my library. I just want to be able to upload to her library, I hope this is possible somehow, or I will have to reburn all (200+ CDs again) to an itunes library....
Hey susanneyes,
Sounds like you want to set up Firefox Sync. This will allow you to keep all of your instances of Firefox synchronized. Just follow the steps in [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/what-firefox-sync?s=sync&r=0&as=s this article] and you'll be set.
Hopefully this helps! -
I've reset my firewall, re-booted and made sure that it was a 'clean' Download all with no result.
Are you using Internet Explorer 8 at present ? <br/>
Does Firefox actually work or can you not even use this messageboard with Firefox ?
You have a search bar (by default) on the top right of the screen, that will include an option to use google, does that work ?
Your ordinary location bar where you type addresses also (by default) uses google, is that working ok ? <br/>
What happens if you type in "firefox", I would expect you to get a google search page with mozilla.com towards the top of the list.
Try firefox in [[Safe Mode]], but on the first dialogue window do not make changes, just click the continue button.
*See also [[firefox does not work]] and the articles linked from that
What is the actual address of the google home page you are using ?
What happens if you use this link: http://www.google.com/
If Firefox does not work with the google pages, also try those pages with IE8 do the pages and searches work in IE8. -
Lnk files are appearing and Adboe acrobat reader can't open them
2 days ago I sent a file from my other laptop to this Toshiba one, when I went to open it it didn't open, it said it was a LNK file, now all the icons on my desktop are showing as lnk files and saying adobe can't open them as they are not supported or not coded correctly.
Also when I click on all programmes they are all saying Adboe can't open them? All my files seem to have changed? Has anyone got any ideas what has happened and also how I can reset it?
ThanksHi,did you copy and paste the files or drag and drop the files through network folder,lnk extensions are shortcut links,try reconnecting the laptop to the network and try opening again,if you need the files on your laptop make sure the whole file is sent,check file size by right clicking then selecting properties the file size is there then compare both files.

When I convert my PDFs into docs they are unreadable, formatting is messed up
When I convert my PDFx into docs they are unreadable and formatting is messed up.
Why pay $22 for a product that does not work?
Can this situation be remedied; how can I make it work?The only thing that comes close is ExportPDF at $19.99 (with tax that could be about right) but it's an online subscription.
If that turns out to be what you have you'll want to take this to the ExportPDF forum rather than here.
It's at http://forums.adobe.com/community/exportpdf
Good luck. -
Trying to drag pdf files i have and combine them into one pdf file in the account i just purchased with Adobe. when i drag a pdf file over Adobe doesn't accept it. says it can not convert this type of file. but it is an Adobe file. Do I need to change it in some other form befor dragging it?
Hello djensen1x,
Could you please let me know what version of Acrobat are you using.
Also, tell me your workflow of combining those PDF files?
Please share the screenshot of the error message that you get.
Hope to get your response.

How can I copy all the files from my iMac to an external drive so they remain as 'regular accessible files'? I want to clean my dive
You can use a program like Carbon Copy Cloner. It will clone your HD to the external. The format is the same as your internal drive and you can boot from it using Option key at boot time.

Error when opening iTunes : iTunes has stopped working '' A problem caused the program to stop working correctly''.
When I repaired damaged files the problem still exists and also after uninstalling, redownloading and reinstalling iTunes.
My pc is working with windos 8.
Is there a solution?Hey there Rodney274,
It sounds like you are getting an error from iTunes when you launch it. I would try the troubleshooting in this article named:
iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1717
Start with troubleshooting for 3rd party plug ins section, then the rest of the article if needed:
Start iTunes in Safe Mode
Open iTunes in Safe Mode to isolate any interference from plug-ins or scripts not manufactured by Apple.
Hold down Shift–Control while opening iTunes. You should see a dialog that says "iTunes is running in safe mode" before iTunes finishes starting up.
Click Continue.
See if the issue you're experiencing persists in Safe Mode.
If you have the same issue while iTunes is in Safe Mode, proceed to the "Create a new user account" section. If you don't experience the same issue, follow these steps to remove third-party plug-ins.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling
