I just installed Mac OSX and now I can't open my documents...

After installing a new operating system, suggested because I have a new iphone, and i need to back it up, when i go to open a document, it says, "The document "-----" could not be opened."
Any suggestions?

Exactly which new OS have you installed? Please update your profile, your question would make more sense then. If you have installed Snow Leopard, then you need to update further via the Combo updater
Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1
Plus software updates to follow.

AppleWorks ne peut pas fonctionner sur Mavericks, ou quelque chose de plus récent que Snow Leopard.
AppleWorks cannot run on Mavericks, or anything later than Snow Lepoard.
LibreOffice can open word processing documents and some Draw documents. The most recent version will open spreadsheets, with some limitations, otherwise only the older version of Numbers, not the one currently in the Mac App Store, will open them. Nothing will open database documents.

Have you tried the basics from the manual?

I suppose at some point or other it might dawn on you that we don't seem to know what update you are referring to.

With that one, I think we should try getting the malware possibilities off the table first.
Try downloading and installing the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware. Update your MBAM definitions and then run a full scan of the PC. (Takes about 2 hour on my Lenovo.)

Does the scan find any infections? If so, please paste the contents of the log file for the scan in a reply here so we can have a look.

Help! I installed Maverick on my MAC yesterday and now I can't open safari

I installed Maverick and now nothing happens when I click on the Safari icon. Can this be fixed?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

Help please! I have just installed Snow Leopard and now I can't access my gmail account. I can complete the sign in boxes ok but the blue indicator bar freezes and prevents access to my emails.

I have just installed Snow Leopard, (10.6.3) onto my Macbook Pro and so far it seems to be working fine except that I can't access my gmail account. I can sign in but the blue opening indicator freezes near the end and I can get no further. I'm a bit of a novice at this stuff - help please!

I installed an update and now I can't open App Store or iCal.

I installed an update, but now when I try to open App Store or iCal, I get this error message:
"App Store cannot be opened because of a problem.
Check with the developer to make sure App Store works with this version of OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and OS X."
I've tried restarting the computer, and I read that removing the programs from your dock and then putting them back could fix it, but neither worked. What's wrong and how do I make it work?

Same problem here. In fact, it started when I installed Mac OS 10.8.1. Since, everything was working super slow. Tried all the tricks that I've read here but nothing worked.
Had to restore my whole Mac from Time Machine. Then everything started to work smoothly except for one thing: App Store cannot open anymore. So I can't install the new Mac OS 10.8.2.
I've downloaded it from Apple, but it won't install. It says Mac 10.8.2 failed due to an error.
I just don't know what to do. So far, Mac OS 10.8.1 has been a giant nightmare to me. I'm a graphic designer who works on Macs for years and years so it's not that I don't know how it works.
I'm hopeless now.

Installing Mac OSX for first time, can't open drive

Help! I'm desperate. I just purchased a twin to my Power Mac G4 from a reseller on eBay, but it has no operating system. I have an OSX disc to install, but how do I get the drive open to insert the install disc?
My original machine is wonderful, but I bought it from the Apple Store, and I think the OS was pre-installed, so this is new to me.
Any help would be greatly, greatly appreciated.

Boot the system with the Option key held down. When the cursor changes to an arrow, use ⌘. (Command-Period) to open the optical drive, insert the disk, close the drive with ⌘. and click the curved arrow to make it look for the new disk. When the cursor changes to the arrow, select the install disk and click the straight, right-opinting, arrow to boot from the install disk.

Help - I just upgraded to Mavericks and now I can't open entourage

I just upgraded to Photos and now I can't open my iPhoto Library in Photos OR iPhoto. How do I get my photos back?!?

I recently updated to the new Photos and when I went to import my library into Photos, it wouldn't let me. Kept throwing errors. I followed the suggested fixes using the terminal regarding permissions, but that didn't work. I decided to just go back to using iPhoto, but when I opened that it wouldn't see my library either. I tried copying it to an external hard drive and opening that, but it didn't work. I can browse for it and see it on my computer but it's grayed out and I'm unable to select it. Please help. I'm terrified I lost all those photos.

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

I just installed mountain lion, and now I can't view videos?

HELP! I tried to install the adobe, but it still does not work! It just keep showing blocked plug-in. What do I do?

If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test.
1. If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, triple-click the line below to select it:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu. A folder should open. If there is more than one item in the folder with the words "Flash Player" (not "flashplayer") in the name, open the respective Info windows, check the version numbers, and delete all except the latest. You may be prompted for your login password. If you get the same error after doing that, re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from this page:
Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player
Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
2. If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked Enable plug-ins.
3. Select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
4. In the Safari preference window, select
Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
Close the window. Then select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.
