I get error message when I try to open PDF's that I have downloaded from the web- document cannot be opened it is either not a supported file type or the file has been damaged. Need help

Is this how I start my new thread?

Thanks.
"Can you right-click, save the pdf file to your desktop (or wherever) then open it using File>Open in Reader?" I tried and was not successful.
I do not know ow to access the PDF viewer of Safari, and BTW the problem may lie in the fact that i have not upgraded from 10.8.5.
And I do not know where the "open with" box might be or if it is a global or app-attached box.

    Error message when I try to convert pdf to excel, after three attempts I could only convert one file.

    Hi pdf to excel,
    What is the error that you're receiving when you try to convert? Is it the "Conversion Failure" message? Can you tell me more about the files you're unable to convert? What application created the PDFs? Are there many pages in these these files, or a complex mix of text and graphics?
    It'll also be helpful to know whether you're converting via the ExportPDF website (and what browser you're using), or through Adobe Reader.
    I look forward to hearing back from you, so we can get to the bottom of this!
    Best,
    Sara

  • Deleted items from Ipod Nano to make room for new. Emptied trash. Still getting error message when I try to copy items from ITunes to Ipod. What should I do now?

    Deleted items from Ipod Nano to make room for new. Emptied trash. Still getting error message when I try to copy items from ITunes to Ipod. What should I do now?

    If you delete songs (and other items) from the main iTunes library, yes, you need to empty the Trash because iTunes puts the song files into the Trash.  When deleting items from an iPod, the items are not being deleted from the main iTunes library, so nothing should end up in the Trash.
    Hopefully, you are not deleting items from your main iTunes library, just to sync those deletions from the iPod.  If you are, there is a better way.  You can post back if you want more info...

    Restart your computer and the iPhone. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons together for 10+ seconds, ignoring the red power-off slider, until you see the Apple logo. It is safe to do, there should be no content loss. It is the same as rebooting your computer.

  • Help with lost pics and contacts in upgrading and get error message when I try to restore.

    I lost all pictures and contacts when I upgraded my iphone 4 (for the first time).  I did not download anything because I was using a friend's computer.  I read that apps not in itunes would be lost, but not pictures and I had 1500.  Every time I attempt to restore, I get error messages.  Please help!

    If you don't have a sim card in the phone, you won't be able to activate it. You can't activate any GSM iPhone without a valid sim card installed in the phone. The sim itself need not be activated, but it must be valid & present.

  • HELP! I'm getting error messages when I try to update all of my podcasts.

    The message I get for each podcast I try to update is "There was a problem downloading "Episode Name". An unknown error occurred (-50). Please check that the URL is correct and the connection to the network is active and try again."
    I tried checking all of the URLS, unsubscribing and resubscribing, entering the URLs manually, and getting episodes individually - and nothing is solving this problem. I can't see how it would be a URL problem if it is happening for ALL of my podcasts. They all worked fine two days ago...
    Any ideas? THANKS!!

  • Im getting error message when i try to install os5.1, any help?

    I have got an update msg for OS 5.1 however when i try to install it, an error msg comes up with 2 option: either close or settings as a result of not being able to install the upgrade, im not able to purchase certain apps as the new 5.1 OS is needed. Any advice on how to install this upgrade please

    This happened to me too. But what I tried to do is reset my iDevice's settings, not turning my iDevice to factory mode, just go to Settings, General, Reset, Reset Settings. There, you will only reset your iDevice without losing your contents but it's a pain in the butt thatyou have to set up with iCloud and wait for about 3 to 5 hours until the process is complete, well it depends on how much data you have on your iDevice. Hope this'll help you solve the problem.

  • Get error message when I try to download pictures from my camera to Iphoto.

    Whenever I try to download photos from my digital camera to my Iphoto application in my Mac Book Pro laptop, I'm getting an error message that "startup disk is running low on space" and to delete some files before I try to download again. I also tried to install a recent software update to my computer and could not because it said that I did not have anough GB to do so. So... I'm thinking I need to delete some things. Which items take up the most hard drive space and which would be the best files to delete? I have all my info backed up on an external hard drive, so I could delete a lot of pictures. Thanks!

    The order of consumption is usually, video, pics, music, docs.
    If you have a great deal of photos on you internal drive and have them on an external storage drive, then you can delete them from your internal, that would free up space, same for videos, they are both space hogs. I regularly put my photos to an external drive, just keep my internal with as much free space on it. It runs faster and less stressful on the drive.
    If you are having these error messages then you most certainly need to get stuff off, overloading can kill a drive.
    As a general rule try to keep the internal below 50% for better performance.
