I can't open up my old files that I saved to Verbatim DVDs!!!

I have a G5 Power PC I've always burned files to DVD's or CD's with Toast, using Verbatim but now going back to get something off my Mac doesn't recognize the DVD as nothing happens. When I burned the files I checked them and used them afterwards but now months later I can't open them. *** ?

not sure what your sentence is trying to say? Are you telling me to
use a cleaner CD called 10+20, that could help? Help what the drive or the DVD?
I have a new drive that is only a few months old, I had to buy a new one
due to my old drive dying, it was the old drive in which I burned those
DVD's, so ideally it is like I am using a new drive different from the one
it was burned on. This is really upsetting to know that there is no
for sure way of being able to replace information that is burned to a DVD
I could understand if it was very very old. Should I contact Verbatim I wonder?
This is very annoying.

    You should be able to open the zipped file by double clicking on it.

  • Help, I can't open up an adobe file that has been sent to me by my Professor.

    I am taking an on line class at the University of Louisville and my professor has sent her files in adobe.  I have never used adobe and I have downloaded the program but I still can't get the file to open, could someone please help me?

    Hi robindisney,
    I would love to help. Just to make sure I understand: Your professor sent you PDF files, is that correct? What application did you download and install to view them? All you need is the free Adobe Reader, which you can get from here: www.adobe.com/products/reader.html.
    If you've already installed Reader, but still can't open the files, can you please let me what happens when you try? Do you get an error message?
    I look forward to hearing back from you.
    Best,
    Sara

  • Can't open or run downloaded files

    I can't open or run any files that I have downloaded through Firefox. I reset the profile, I uninstalled/reinstalled Firefox, I created a new profile, I changed the download location, I made a new downloads folder, etc. I think it is somehow being blocked by McAfee, because the only way I can open the folder is if I turn off McAfee or I go into properties of the downloaded file and click "unblock". If this computer were mine, I could live with it just clicking "unblock", but the owner wants it to work correctly without having to go into properties or leave computer unprotected.

    Can someone help me with a similar problem? Safari
    used to work fine, but now, when I click on a link in
    a webpage that should give me a pdf file, I just get
    a blank page with the url for the link showing above
    in the address space. There is no download happening
    at all. I find I can download them using Explorer,
    but I don't want to use Explorer. I have OS 10.4.8
    and Adobe Reader 7.0.5. Thanks for any help.
    After reinstalling Safari, etc., I tried installing the Schubert plug-in mentioned in an e-mail above. It didn't work until I went into Adobe preferences and turned off the instruction telling it to display downloaded pdf files. Suddenly, voila! I'm downloading files fast into the browser, and can save them fast to my desktop. So, thanks, whoever it was that suggested that little plug-in.

  • Can't open doc and rtf files on my nokia e61i

    hi!I am new here,i have a problem with my e61i,I can not open doc and rtf files,if someone has a clue to tell me how can i fix the problem i'll be gratefull

    I don't know if this will help but I had a similar problem that started yesterday. I have two macs.  Once can't open MS Office files from the other Mac but can open Office files on each Mac. Drove me nuts for about 2 hours today - on the phone with Apple twice and Microsoft once.  Finally found a similar post from 2007 that suggested to turn off and on file sharing by unchecking the "Share files and folders using AFP", on both computers and rebooting. That fixed it. 
    Funny thing, it was only with Office files I created since updating the software last week. Old Office files opened fine.

  • TS3938 How can I open my numerous Appleworks files now I have OSX 10.7 Lion?

    I have just installed OS X 10.7 Lion on my iMac and, to my horror, I find that I cannot open my numerous old Appleworks files due to "Power PC applications no longer being supported".
    Is there any way that I can perhaps burn these files to a CD and transfer them to my old iBook G4 which still runs 10.3 Panther? Or is there anything else I can do to salvage these old files?
    Many thanks in anticipation of a positive answer.
    Alan.

    Hello Duckfeet22,
    Your data is not lost, you can burn the files to use them with AppleWorks on your iBook G4 or if those files were created by AppleWorks 6 or 7 and if you have a copy of iWork, you can easily open your word processing, spreadsheet, and presentation files in Pages, Numbers, and Keynote respectively.
    You can also buy Eazydraw ( http://www.eazydraw.com/ ) $20 license for 9 months , with full import of AppleWorks, ClarisDraw, MacDrawPro, and MacDrawII files.
    There's a free Free Demo here if you just want to view, draw, save, print, up to 30 graphics.
    Hope this will help.

  • Hello all.   Hope someone can help me. I recently downloaded some  updates for my imac.  Since doing this the computer starts up but I get no logon box.  The home screen opens but I can't open any programs or files. I've tried rebooting, no joy. Help!!

    Hello all..   I hope someone here can help.  I recently downloaded some updates to my imac.  Since then the computer starts but I get the home screen opening without the logon box.    I can't open any programs or files and if I click on the Safari tab it disappears from the dock.  I've tried rebooting with no joy.
    I contacted technical help at Apple and was told to hold down the ctrl and alt keys with two other keys, I think the S or P keys when powering up. This worked
    and the computer seemed fine but now the problem has reappeared.  Is there a way to removed downloaded updates from the computer or revert it to an earlier state?   Sorry for the long question. Hopefully one of you clever people can help.   Simon

    I use to have iphoto, it doesnt open anymore, it says there is 1.2gigs on that disk.There are many things on here that are the same way. Where do I start?
    It's always good to go with one thing at a time and stay focused on that. Let's start with the OS you're running. Click on the Apple menu > About This Mac. What does it say under Mac OS X version ?

  • Sorry! Something went wrong - I can't open my icloud pages file anymore

    I can't open my icloud pages file anymore. We are two collaborators working on it and she told me the file was freezing. I have said she can reload the file but it didn't work. Then it was my turn. I have tried from desktop but also from Ipad. The Pages app now crash when I want to open this same file. When I load my icloud page, I see the file, it is here, with the last layout, but can't open. I need to recover that document, it's important to me. Is there any assistance @apple to do so?
    Many thanks!

    I have exactly the same issue !! On "Pages", "Numbers", "Keynote"
    - Macbook pro retina 13" late 2013
    Icloud.com tested with Chrome, Opera, Safari, Iexplorer .. same problem
    Try to reset  "Documents and data" from Settings >>> "Could not reset Documents and Data ; there was a problem.."

    I just purchased the new Canon SX60 camera. Despite downloading and installing the latest version of Adobe DNG converter, I receive an error message saying that Photoshop CS4 can't open up/convert raw files (.CR2). This is the same file format as used by the SX50, with which I never had any problem. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to fix this problem? Thanks.

    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras  I do not see that SX60 as supported. Just how new is the SX60 when was it announces. Its support is not even listed in ACR 8.7 RC

  • Can you open an existing illustrator file with the application default settings?

    I need to open a customers illustrator files that he sends me with the default application settings, not the setting he saved with his file.

    CS6 (Mac) but soon CC.
    What is happening is they are saving the files with among other things, print scaling set to something other than 100%. If one of our operators does not catch it, the plate files are ripped at a smaller size than what they should be.
    This customer does thier own production work and sends us "plate ready" files but sometimes forgets to change this setting back to 100% (he changes the scaling to something that will fit on a letter size page so he can check his separations).
    I seem to recall (from years ago), there was a way to open a file using the applications default settings, not the settings saved within the file itself.
