I lost my apps and can't open my files

OMG I'm driving myself crazy, someone please help me
imac, Processor 3.2 GHZ Intel Core i3, Memomry 16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
My father gave his imac for christmas which was very exciting and joyful
I decided to change the username of the administrator account by going to System Preferences> Users and Groups> unlock account> right click on Administrator account> Advanced options. There I changed the name of the account and put my name instead of my fathers. The computer told me to restart it to make the change and so I did. But then I realized that all my apps we were. Microsoft office all gone, files in desktop gone, all other special app for fotos and videos editing also disappeared. Its like the imac is brand new and has only the main apps the computer comes with. It also tells me I don't have permission to access certain files. I've tried repairing the disk through Disk Utilities... didn't work. I called apple support and they don't seem to know exactly whats the problem. I've tried signing in through guess account.... nothing. I can't even right click the administrator account to try to change back the name I had and recover my information.
Please someone help me.. Im driving myself crazy here.

Do you have Restrictions enabled on your iPhone at Settings > General > Restrictions?
If so, is Installing Apps enabled as a Restriction on your iPhone?

  • Nikon D7200 and can not open RAW files.  Error msg says camera isn't supported.  Using PSElements 12

    I recently purchased a Nikon D7200 and I can not open RAW files.  I get error messages indicating camera isn't supported.  I've downloaded RAW 9.0 but no luck.  I'm running PSElements 12.  Any suggestions?  Is the camera too new for Adobe?

    Please post Photoshop Elements related queries over at

    D7200 needs ACR 9 and according to

  • After installing Safari 4, Lost my dock and can't open files.

    Hey guys. I've had my Ibookg4 around 5 years, never really had a problem with until today.
    I installed Safari 4, and after installation it told me to restart, which I did. After it had restarted, I got to my desktop but I had lost my dock, and I can't open any of my applework files, (the application "AppleWorks" could not be launched because of a shared library error: "-<AppleWorks><CarbonLib><CFMPriv_CarbonCore>").
    Any solutions? Thanks.

    Hello GarrrettXmas,
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions...
    Try running "Repair Permissions" from Disk Utilities.
    Have you tried opening AppleWorks from the Applications folder?
    If the Program opens from the Apps folder then try trashing the
    com.apple.dock.plist located in /User/Library

  • New camera and can't open raw files..

    I just upgraded my camera from a rebel xt to a T3i and now I am unable to open RAW files. 
    I am using PSE 5.0.  Any advice?

    Hi,
    The T3i requires a minimum level of ACR 6.4 - which isn't supported by PSE 5
    Your options are
    1) Upgrade pse to PSE 9 or higher (PSE 12 will probably be out soon)
    2) Use the Canon software that came with your camera
    3) Download/Install the free Adobe DNG Converter to convert your CR2 files to DNG files - the DNG files can then be processed by PSE 5
    If you consider upgrading, then you could download the trial version to see if you like it.

  • Downloaded raw 7.1 to my cs4 and can't open raw files taken with nikon d5100.  d70 raw files do open

    Need a solution to above question.

    Raw 7 is compatible with Cs6 version of Adobe software, not with CS4.
    Check this link :- http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
    and to open the Nikon D5100 raw files the minimum camera raw plugin required in 6.4

    You can use the DNG converter with the CS4 to open this files, I think that will be the best option.

  • Changed from PC to mac and can't open some file

    Mac store transferred my files from PC to mac when purchased iMac.  frequently some of those files will not open and I receive this reason:
    Adobe Reader could not open 'file name.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).  This also sometimes happens when I try to open a jpg. and those sometimes are files I have added myself from photos I added.
    Is there any way I can recover these?  Or should I just forget it and trash them?

    Note, you don't need Adobe Reader to view PDFs in OS X. There is a built-in application called "Preview" which does an excellent job with PDFs. It is faster and it is more lightweight.
    When you install Reader, it takes over PDF rendering in your web browsers and it sets itself to the default PDF reader.
    This is a bit of a tangent, but I recommend you first try opening the PDFs with Preview, and see if you can open the files. If so, then it's probably a Reader issue. If not, the files are probably corrupt. You may wish to see if you can try transferring them again, if you still have access to them.
    As far as JPEGs, Preview can also view them, so give it a try.
    If Preview works, then definitely consider uninstalling Adobe Reader. It's a heavyweight, bloated, slow piece of crap.

    I renewed my subscription to the Providence Journal on Feb. 19, 2013 and cannot open it - I have tried everything and it will not open, it keeps asking me to sign in and when I called the PJ they said I don't have a subscription which I paid for through ITunes.  Help

    if you have a serial number, and if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here:  Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 Direct Download Links, Premiere too | ProDesignTools
    and activate with your serial number.
    if you have a problem starting the download, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies. 
    the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com). 
    failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com or initiates the download of an incorrect (eg, current) version.

  • Have iWork '06 And Can't Open .xls File?

    I have been told that I need Numbers to open a .xls file.
    However, it is not worth me buying it because I only get sent such a file once or twice a year. Furthermore, the person who sends these files to numerous people actually cuts and pastes them onto my email so I can see what they contain.
    If possible I would like to save this person going to that trouble.
    I believe NeoOffice might do the trick but it is a 160 MB download and my broadband is very slow. It would be very irritating to go to the trouble of downloading it only to discover it wouldn't open an .xls file.
    Is there a free small size alternative available?

    Problem solved!
    bphendri on the Leopard forum suggested downloading the free OpenOffice app (160MB), and in spite of the large size I decided to go ahead and risk it.
    It opens the Excel documents and at first glance looks as good as iWork (functionally but not aesthetically) ...... though I probably shouldn't say that here!

  • I have photoshop 5.5 and can't open .nef files.  I am looking for the old plugin can anyone help?

    I am looking for the photoshop 5.5 plugin to allow me to open my .nef camera files... can anyone help?

    Other than upgrading PS, you might want to look into Nikon Capture. I have an older version, so do not know if it's still offered, and if it will handle your version of NEF's, as they change, hence the ARC upgrades for newer Nikon (and others) cameras.
    Good luck,

  • I just upgraded to Firefox 4 on my new MacBook Pro and can't open pdf files, or sometimes only the first page will open. Can anyone help?

    There are no more details. The files either open to a blank page or the first page only.

    Me thinks you have tried to connect to a shortcut folder and not a genuine folder.
    Note Mac OS X in Mac OS X 10.4 has 3 popular folder shortcut locations:
    The leftmost column of the Finder window.
    The horizontal toolbar on the top of the Finder window
    The translucent bar which can be anchored on the side or bottom of the screen known as the Dock. These are not true folder locations, but only locations for shortcuts. When you click on a folder for a volume that is not mounted, or is a folder which was deleted it will behave in this fashion. Often if you click on it the right fashion, it will change to a question mark.
    In addition if it is an alias to an existing folder that has no contents, it will behave this way from the three shortcut locations.
    If you right click instead of the left click a folder, it may think you want to do something to the folder which you can't do. Make sure your mouse button functions properly as a Primary button on Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Keyboard and Mouse.
    Also make sure Universal Access is not turned on as it too can cause funny behavior in the mouse click actions, in Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Universal Access.

  • Just Migrated Files from Old Mac to New MacBook Pro and Can't Open PDF File

    Does this computer come with Adobe reader pre-installed or do I need to down-load it from Adobe?
    Thank you.

    If you want Adobe Reader, you'll need to download it. Even if it's already present on your hard drive, you'll want to have the latest version, and the preinstalled version (if there is one) probably isn't it.
