I mistakenly saved a download, and checked the "always do this for thid type of file" now I cannot open a file without saving it first, because it does not take me to that same dialog box.

When you open a file from an email, you get a dialog box Open or Save this file. I wanted to save a particular file, so I clicked Save. The problem is, I had already clicked on "do this every time for files like this" so now it won't give me the dialog box back for when I just want to open a file, not save it. I have searched Options, to no avail.

'''''"always do this for thid type of file"''''' means exactly what it says: '''always''' .

Help! I downloaded and installed the a security update for safari last night and after it rebooted my system quit recognizing my password and quit working, taking me to a utilities window.

I let my system download and install the latest security update for Safari yesterday, 28 Apr 14, and when it rebooted, it wouldn't let me login. Instead it took me to a utilities windown that allowed me to verify my h/d then told me it couldn't be repaired so I would need to save all of my documents (not sure how since it won't boot up) and reinstall OS X. Help!

terrelld,
if you’ve been making regular backups to date, then you could just restore from the last update which you’d made before installing the most recent Safari update. If you haven’t been making regular backups to date, you can try the method provided on this Apple page, in the “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility” section. If you’re not already making regular backups, then I’d highly recommend purchasing an external disk for use as a Time Machine backup destination once you’ve gotten this resolved, so that this sort of problem would be more easily resolved in the future.

I keep getting a message "safari cannot open page [page name with header information] because you are not connected to the internet.

I keep getting a message "safari cannot open page [page name with header information] because you are not connected to the internet. Then I check CNN for a time stamp, and I am connected to the internet. I have reset everything suggested in other posts, ensured any other device that could be hogging bandwidth is off, the router is reset, the iPad is reset. The other devices are not having this problem, and it happens on both places I use the iPad, the university library, (getting a second degree after a change in a long time career and at home. Any insight into this issue would be appreciated.

Saing yu tried everthing provides little information to us. We do not know what you tied.
Have you tried:
- Resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Powering off and then back on your router- Resetting network setting: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
The toubleshooting here:
iPhone and iPod touch: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Does you iPod conenct to other networks?
- Do other devices connect to your network?

Undo the "Always Do This For This Device" option.

Alright, so I connected my iPhone and the "what would you like to do with this device" window popped up as usual. I hit the "always do this for this device" checkbox and since no option was selected, I hit okay.
Turns out that the first option, which options word and imports the photos in there, was selected. Now every time I connect my iPhone it popped up and slows my computer.
How do I undo this change, and make it so no "what would you like to do with this device" window pops up?

Double click my computer. With iphone connected right click it in Windows Explorer and select properties. Change the default action.

After updating my iphone5, my phone went back to factory setting and now I can't sign in with my apple id because it does not recognise it... Help?!

Yes, my telco is an approved carrier. If my phone was brand new, I think so, they opened it in front of me.. I really couldn't remember it was 1.4 years ago. It did seem new.
Well it says, "_____" cannot be used to unlock this iphone. I've tried both my apple ids but it didn't work.

I have Elements 8. I have bought A Nikon D750 and take Raw files. I have downloaded Raw 8.8 file converter, but cannot open Raw files

I have Elements 8. Raw converter for my previous Nikon D300s worked ok. Now I have D750 cannot open Raw files. I have downloaded lastest Raw converter from Adobe 8.8
Still cannot open Raw file. Get message "cannot open as it is wrong type of file" How do I get the latest Raw converter to work with Elements 8? Any info gratefully received.

Are you saying you converted from NEF to DNG? If so, after you convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format, the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
Windows download (.exe file) click here DNG Converter 8.8
Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.8
You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:
You Tube click here for DNG Converter tutorial

I recently reinstalled cs2 and now i cannot open raw files. how can i get them to open?

i cannot open raw files anymore

You shouldn't need the dng converter for the nikon d80 as camera raw 3.7 should open them.
In photoshop cs2 if you go to Help>About Plug-In>Camera Raw, what is the version?
Also, you need to unzip the camera raw 3.7 update and then copy the Camera Raw.8bi to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS2\File Formats on a 64 bit windows 8 system
or
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS2\File Formats on a 32 bit windows 8 system

How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
Select which apps you want to re download. Then right or control click where you see Installed then click Install.

If you have anti virus software installed, disable that.
Try turning off the Firewall in System Preferences > Security (Security & Privacy for Lioin v10.7)

About downloading and installing the Adobe Help Manager for CS6

Because the Adobe help manager essentially ceased functioning as part of my Adobe CS6 installation I had to uninstall it. Now I am having great difficulty to locate the Adobe Help Manager on any of the Adobe download sites. Although I have the Adobe media disks for CS6, I don't want to reinstall the entire suit just to get back the Help manager

There is no other way. AHM only comes with teh suite install.

Can I download and save the shockwave player application for later installation on more than one PC

I would like to find a "setup.exe" file for the shockwave player and flash player (to begin with) so I can be sure fellow cowworkers all have the same versions installed on their own PC. This would make it more efficient to share files, explainations etceteras.
I was given this assignment after I installed virtual drives with Windows, on a few Mac PCs, and now I've been asked for more ways to streamline file shareing. I am attempting to convince the foremen, detailers, Crew managers & others to use Windows 8, as it can be synced with everyone's phones, tablets, androids & PCs. This would just be a beginning, mainly for demostration. I hope I haven't taken on an impossible task. Thank you in advance for any help offered.

I set up iCloud on my iPad so I could sync with my iMac and now I cannot open documents on my iPad. What am I doing wrong?

I have an iPad two running iOS 8.2, with pages 2.5.2
Late 2012 21.5 inch iMac running Yosemite, with Pages 5.5.2
Yesterday,following directions in iMac Magazine on my iPad I turned on iCloud for Pages.
My documents disappeared from my iPad. After finding out how to locate them in iCloud I am unable to open them to edit or even read them for that matter.
What am I doing wrong.
Can I get my documents back on my iPad?

Thanks. That was indeed the problem. A few hints for others with this problem. You can only find out that you need to upgrade, and upgrade, by cabling your iPad to your computer. Then the next Tricky part is making sure you have your iPad purchases saved on your computer. Then you download the new OS upgrade and you will get a "start up" type of screen on your iPad with a few questions. Nowhere is there a very good explanation that you want to then go back to your computer and restore your iPad. I finally did that because there were no other obvious alternatives, though all the warnings made me very nervous. After the restore command, I synched my iPad and I seem to have everything back, and I can now access iCloud. maybe I missed some instructions somewhere, but I found this process much more obscure than the usual Apple directions. Thanks for your help!

I downloaded the latest version of itunes. Now I cannot open iTunes. I receive this error message: The procedure entry point AVCFAssetCreateWithByteStreamAndOptions could not be located in the dynamic link library AVfoundationCF.dll. Thoughts?

I downloaded the latest version of iTunes on my PC. Now I cannot open iTunes. I receive the following error message: "The procedure entry point AVCFAssetCreateWithByteStreamAndOptions could not be located in the dynamic link library AVfoundationCF.dll" After pressing the "OK" button I receive a second error message: 'iTunes not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 127)". I've uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled to no avail. I've also eliminated the temp files (per suggestions on the trouble-shooting page) and no luck. I also tried system restore and that did not fix the problem. Any thougths on a repair?

Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. Head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post. (Although the procedure is for Vista and 7 and you've got XP, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things.)

I have an old ipod shuffle and I cannot get it to sync because it does not show up in my devices list...? HELP!!!

I cannot get my old ipod shuffle to sync because it does not show up in my devices list!!! I have tried letting it die and then plugging it in and still no success!! HELP!!!

To sync via wifi you first have to connect to computer via USB and check the box in the Summary pane for the iPod in iTunes that sync via wifi.
Note you can only sync with one computer. If you change syncing computers you have to restore the iPod on the second computer.

I recently retired and stopped my subscription to Adobe Pro. Now I cannot open a pdf document as an attachment in an email. Can you please advise as to how to correct this problem?

I recently retired and stopped my subscription toe Adobe Pro. Now I cannot open a pdf attachment in an email with Adobe Reader. How can I solve this issue?

OK. Then the next thing to try is to right-click a PDF file, select Open With, Choose Default Program, then select Reader from the list and tick the "Always use this application..." box, and click OK.

I just downloaded and installed the 64bit itunes, but I get an error 2 "Apple application support required to run Itunes, uninstall and install again" I did that twice and got the same result

I am a Windows 7 user and everything has been fine, but when I just tried to open itunes I got an Error 2 message. "Apple application support not found. uninstall and install itunes again." I have done that twice with the same result. this was the 64 bit version.

Check this Apple document out -> Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
Try following the steps in that article, which will have you remove iTunes and the other bundled Apple software. Then download and install iTunes 10.4.1 for Windows (64 bit).

I mistakenly saved a download, and checked the "always do this for thid type of file" now I cannot open a file without saving it first, because it does not take me to that same dialog box.
