I have files that have been on my computer for over a year and all of a sudden they wont open and an error message comes up saying they were improperly downloaded or came in an email attach which is not the case

I have files that have been on my computer for over a year and I have used them several times and all of a sudden they wont open. I received an error message saying they are improperly downloaded or came as an email attachement which is not the case. Please advise

They seem to be word files - they will open if I choose "open with" microsoft word, but if I double click they don't open they are appearing as PDF on my screen. I even opened one and then tried to "save as" making sure I chose .doc and they still appear as PDF
I just created a new document response.doc in word and when I saved to my desktop it appears as a PDF file and I absolutely did not create a PDF or save as PDF it was a simple word
doc.
The message says "Adobe reader could not open response.doc because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example attached in an email and not properly decoded)
The reader version is I believe the most current, I always update when prompted. OS is Windows 8

HT2534 I keep getting "security code invalid" on a card that has been on my acct for over a year.

I keep getting invalid security code on a card that has been on my account for months. I've been making purchases often with no problems. Now I can't even download updates. I've tried removing the card, but this also has been proving very difficult to do. Please help me. I know others have had this problem in the past, but still haven't found a resolution. Thank you apple savvy peeps!!

Log onto iTunes on your computer, then update ur current credit card info with spaces inbetween the 4 sets of numbers then put in ur exp date and security code and all that info. im not guaranteeing this will work but it did for me.

I have a football game recorded on a DVD R disc that I was trying to view on my MacBook using DVD Player. The video comes onto the screen, but immediately freezes, and then disappears. An error message comes up saying that DVD player unexpectedly quit.

I have a football game recorded on a DVD+R disc that I was trying to view on my MacBook using DVD Player. The video comes onto the screen, but immediately freezes, and then disappears. An error message comes up saying that DVD player unexpectedly quit. My MacBook operating system is Mac OS X, version 10.5.8. DVD Player is App version 5.0.3, framework version 5.0.7.
However, the DVD+R works on both my Dad's and my brother's laptops. My Dad's laptop is an iBook G4 with Mac OS X operating system, version 10.3.9. The DVD Player is version 4.0. My brother's laptop is a MacBook Pro with Mac OS X operating system, version 10.7.2. The DVD Player is App version 5500.26.1 and framework version 5.5.0. The DVD+R plays fine on their laptops, but will not play on mine.

Lao Bo,
yes, you can locate and copy a file from your HD to a USB key using UNIX commands. If you know the exact name of the file which you’re trying to locate, try this:
find / -iname filename -print
This command will search your entire internal disk for the particular filename. If you know that it’s within a particular user account, then you can save search time with this variation:
find /Users/username -iname filename -print
Either variation of this command will print all files found which have the given filename. Presuming that you’re able to identify the correct file, you can copy it to a USB key using the command
cp -p filename_returned_by_find /Volumes/USB_volume
If you’re not sure which volume name your USB key has, this command will show you what the possibilities are:
ls /Volumes
Please let me know if you have any trouble with these commands.

I have not been able to open up Lightroom on my computer for over a year now. Whenever I double click on it, this comes up - can anyone help? Problem signature: Problem Event Name:APPCRASH Application Name:lightroom.exe Application Version:3.4.1.10

I have not been able to open up Lightroom on my computer for over a year now. Whenever I double click on it, this comes up - can anyone help? Problem signature: Problem Event Name:APPCRASH Application Name:lightroom.exe Application Version:3.4.1.10

First thing to try is the latest version of Lightroom (currently 5.6). If it don't crash, then problem solved - upgrade.
If Lr5 won't run on your machine, then Lr4 instead.
If both Lr5 and Lr4 crash on your machine, then at least you know it's a not a Lightroom version problem but something wonked in your system.
If you can't figure out how to resolve the crash on the system you have, then it's time for a new system (or try another converter/editor app).
PS - A few things to try:
* After re-installing new version, if that doesn't fix it, then get rid of all Lightroom-related data files (rename them so they can be restored), in case problem is in Lr data file.
* Remove all non-essential hardware in case problem is hardware/driver.
* Startup up machine with minimal software services.
* If still no go, consider updating driver software, including mainboard drivers and/or bios firmware if need be.
* Of course run all the system hardware and software diagnostics you can - problem could be failing disk or ram..
* Check system event logs for any clues.
If you don't know how to do some of these things - ask.
Do not say "you've tried everything" unless you want a lecture - there is most definitely something you haven't tried. It's like when you can't find your car keys - you haven't looked everywhere - there is somewhere you haven't looked!
PS - Has Lightroom EVER worked on your machine? what's changed since then..
Good luck,
Rob

I cannot upload my iMovie video to Facebook, etc. I cannot even attach it to an email, an 'error' message comes up when almost complete. It plays fine in imovies, VLC, mplayerx. Confused, is the file damaged somehow?

The Deskjet series printers connect to wireless networks with what is called USB to Wireless.
You will need a supported operating system to connect a Deskjet to a wireless network. Supported operating systems to connect the printer to a wireless network are Windows 7 (32bit and 64bit), Windows Vista (32bit and 64bit), and Mac OS X (10.5, 10.6, and 10.7).
While there is a software download option for Linux distributions, this is not the full featured software that is capable of adding the printer to a wireless network. Most printers have a wireless setup wizard to accomplish this task, but the Deskjet series printers connect in a different way.
Once the printer is connected to a wireless network, HPLIP 3.12.4 drivers should be able to locate the printer.
Click on Installing the Product Software for a Wireless Network Connection to receive instructions to connect to a wireless network using Windows and Mac operating systems.
Click on Software & Driver Downloads - HP Deskjet 3070A e-All-in-One Printer - B611a to download the appropriate software for a supported operating system to connect to a wireless network.

Running Captivate 8 on a Macbook and I am unable to import Powerpoint 2011 (which is up to date) files or slides. I get an error saying that either the file is damaged or I am using an older version of PP....which is not the case.

Running Captivate 8 on a Macbook and I am unable to import Powerpoint 2011 (which is up to date) files or slides. I get an error saying that either the file is damaged or I am using an older version of PP....which is not the case. I tried creating a very simple PP file with just a few words on one slide...ran a compatibility check and all was good. Still could not import that simple slide into Captivate.

OK...found out it did not like me saving as a *.pptx. When I save it as a *.ppt file it imported in correctly. Is this what I will need to do moving forward? I am not sure if I am losing any functionality in the process...

3. Choose the synch option you would like.

Hello Jignesh.
This issue has been reported before by other users, and it turns out it's the effect of malware. In other words, your system is infected. To scan for malware, install, update and run these programs ''in this order''. They are all free for personal use, but some have limited functionality in their "free mode", but the features you'll miss are not really needed to find and remove the problem you have.

I'm having trouble downloading my subscription to a new computer keep getting an error 1 ( another installation going on) which is not the case.

I've trying to relocate and download my subscription to a new computer and just keep getting an error 1 message ( some other download going on-which is not the case) anyone else have this problem

Without proper system information and other details nobody can help you. and this error means what it says - some other install process is still active, even if it may not do so visible. Could be a silent update of a virus scanner or something, could be a botched install of another program, not even specifically Adobe. As a start, always reboot your computer and then try again. For anything else we need much more info.

oh the error msg error= -100000

I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not downloading properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entry, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
(Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

Camera wiggle wont respond, Ive been using after effects for over a year, absoloutley stumped ! help

Ok, Exactley what the description said..
Ive been using AE for over a year but havent used cam wiggle since i was studying my course... I understand how it works i all click the null Position stopwatch then wiggle(12,34) etc (is that right ? )
But than when i ram preview it does nothing at all... I cant work out what i could have possibly missed because ive watched alot of tutorials and i do exactley what the tutor does but to no effect..
SooOo bizzar and frustrated..
im thinking maybe something to do with the wiggle information ? or is there some damn option i should reset or something ?
thanx !

Yes, the camera and null are moving together and seperate in the custom view 1 when I step through the timeline just not in active cam though
I replaced the null with a solid+wiggle and that works fine also(except whne cam is pick whip)
The camera still does not respond to anything even when linked via pick whip.
thanx again for your response.. I hope I'm getting closer

I was taking pictures on my iPad and all of a sudden these single verticle and horizonital white line showed up on my pictures that connected in a little white box. How did it get there and how do I get rid of it?

I was taking pictures on my iPad and all of a sudden these single white horizonital and vertical lines appeared on my photo off center connected to a little white box. How did they get there and how do I get rid of them.
Thanks,

Sounds like you have the Grid turned on. Tap Options and turn off Grid.
The grid is used to assist in composing a photo using "the rule of thirds". Rather than centering your subject line the subject up on a line or intersection of the line for a more pleasing photo. Landscape photos can also look better by aligning the horizon with one of the horizontal lines
