  • My Mac won't open certain files anymore so I can't install new programs.

    I accidentally reset the default application used to open new programs that I try to install and now it won't open. It's set accidentally to use ScriptEditor. I'm not sure what "program" was used originally to open them, so I don't know what to reset it to. How do I fix it so I can install new programs again?

  • Adobe Bridge CS6 (Mac) won't open .arw files from my Sony RX100. How do I get and install the right version of Camera Raw?

    Adobe Bridge CS6 (Mac) won't open .arw files from my Sony RX100. I was told to update Camera Raw to at least 7.2. I tried to download this but got a DNG Converter instead. Where is Camera Raw? (it does not show up in a search of my hard drive. There is a folder of camera profiles but no extension or plug-in with this name). How do I find out what version I have already? How do I get the correct version?  . . . OR . . . is it the case that Bridge will never open Sony raw files directly and I will have to do a separate conversion process every time I want to use a raw file??. Can someone explain this?
    Thanks.

  • GIMP won't open PDF files anymore

    I just reinstalled my system and noticed that GIMP won't open PDF files anymore. I remember being able to use GIMP to open PDFs and save them as high resolution images.... Am I missing something?

    Make sure you have poppler-glib installed.
    If you have imagemagick installed you might also want to try "convert my.pdf my.jpg". It will be done before gimp opens.

  • Why does Acrobat suddenly not work on my Mac (won't open pdf files from a web page), yet I can open them from my iPhone? Everything worked fine yesteray.

    Hello:
    I have a Mac running OS 10.8.5 and I use Acrobat Pro and Acrobat Reader. Today for some reason, any time I try and access a pdf file from a web page, it won't open. I get a blank window. PDF files already on my computer open fine and I can create PDF files from Word docs, but I can't download or view any pdf file from any web page. Strangely, PDF files on web pages open just fine on my iPhone.
    I checked that both my copy of Acrobat Pro and Acrobat Reader are up-to-date. They are.
    I checked that my copy of Firefox is up-to-date. It is. And nothing changed with Firefox within the last 24 hours.
    I am a humble computer end-user. I am baffled as to why this would suddenly not work. I have not changed any settings, etc. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.
    I checked your instructions you sent and as far as I can tell all of my settings, etc for Firefox (plugin updates and preferences) are correct but I am having the same problem.
    However, everything works in Safari. I don't have time to attempt to diagnose why Firefox no longer works. I will just switch to Safari.
    Many thanks.

  • My Macbook won't open .jar files

    My daughter wants to set up a server on mine craft but every time she opens the .jar file it presents this message. On safari or chrome, I've looked at several different boards and help pages but none of it makes much sense. Could someone please help?

    The security built into your Mac is preventing you from doing this. In order to launch the Minecraft Server, try and launch it and get the error dialog above, and click the "OK" button. Then go into "System Preferences..." by hitting the Apple logo in the upper right of the screen, and then go into "Security & Privacy". You will see this screen:
    Hit the button "Open Anyway" to open theMinecraft server jar (a dialog will come up, hit "open"). Once you do this that .jar file will now always open with no prompting. You can also change this behavior by twiddling with the radio buttons above to select "Mac App Store" or "Mac App Store and Identified developers" or "Anywhere". As you can see I have it set to "Mac App Store" and I will choose on a case by case basis; this is safest.
    Minecraft will create a bunch of files in the directory in which the .jar file is placed, I would recommend creating a new directory and moving the .jar file there before starting it. The most imporant of these is the "server.properties" file, it is here that your daughter can change how this game behaves. Additionally, by invoking mincraft this way you allowcate the default amount of memory to the server, this may or may not be enough. There are reams of tutorials on how to tweek Minecraft server elsewhere on the web, enjoy!
    Good Luck!

  • Quicktime won't open .mov files anymore

    I have a MacBook Pro with OSX 10.5.8 and Quicktime Player 10.2. Since upgrading to OSX 10.7, I can no longer open most video files I have collected with a .mov extension. These files open fine in Real Player or VLC.  Quicktime, however, won't open it with a message that a required "codec" isn't available. I've noted that some in this situation have found Quicktime Player 7.6.6 in the Utilities folder. I don't have a Quicktime Player in the Utilities folder.

    You don't have it? Just load it! http://support.apple.com/kb/DL923

  • Mac won't open some files MasterPlan.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).

    I had this problem of not being able to open some files a couple of years ago and eventually was able to fix it but i can't remember how. Any help would be grateful.

    The following document should help: Error: Adobe Reader could not open '*.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 was not correctly decoded.)
    Please update this thread if your issue is resolved.

  • PSE 9 (Mac) Won't open .erf files

    How to diagnose or fix?

    Try this
    1. Close Elements.Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Editor. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.
    or
    2. Restart the machinge and try launching PSE Editor directly from .exe (win) or Editor app file (mac).
    3. Check once in task manager (WIN) or Activity monitor (Mac) to make sure that the Photoshop Elements Editor is not already running. If yes then kill the process and try re-launching.

  • Safari won't open PDF files anymore.

    Hi,  This is a new problem for me. I have Mavericks 10.9.4 and Safari 7.0.6.  Whenever I click on a PDF link on a web page, I get a black screen - no error message at all.  The link works properly in Firefox.  I looked at my installed plugins and there are a couple for PDFs.  I've got Acrobat Reader and Acrobat Pro both installed.  Does anyone have any idea what could have changed or what I am missing?
    Thanks!

    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    Click Go
    If you see this plugin:   AdobePDFviewerplugin
    Move it to the trash, then quit and relaunch Safari and try a PDF file.

    These are Java files.  http://www.java.com/en/ is where you can get the latest Java for your operating system. If your Java files need an older version of Java, there are instructions on the web to downgrade Mac Java, but it is difficult, and poses security issues.

  • Can't open JAR files - tried everything

    Hi guys.
    So, I have this problem that I can' open .jar files. I'm getting this: "Java JAR-file could not start"
    I have literally tried EVERYTHING.
    This is what I have tried:
    Uninstall, reinstall, restart Mac between every installation, have newest Java now (Java Standard Edition. Version 7 Update 67 (build 1.7.0_67.b01).
    Tried this command: java -jar myfile.jar. This results in Unable to access .jarfile
    Have googled and found a recent thread about this here on apple forum which lead to following this tutorial on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lV3npU1NbHQ&feature=youtu.be&html5=1 which did not work either.
    Console does not give me much when I try to open, but one time I got this:
    04.10.14 00:01:48,571 java[554]: objc[554]: Class JavaLaunchHelper is implemented in both /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home/bin/java and /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home/lib/jli/./libjli.dylib. One of the two will be used. Which one is undefined.
    PLEASE help guys! I'm dying, this is so annoying, I really need to open the file.
    Thanks in advance!

    same happens with Yosemite (10.10)
    double clicking on a jar file I get 'The java JAR file "forge-1.7.10-10.13.2.1231-universal.jar" could not be launched'
    if I try javaws -viewer
    I get:
    objc[12654]: Class JavaLaunchHelper is implemented in both /Library/Internet Plug-ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home/bin/java and /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home/lib/jli/./libjli.dylib. One of the two will be used. Which one is undefined.
    if I remove the library /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home/lib/jli/./libjli.dylib the message disappears but still is impossible to run jar files
    if I remove /Library/Internet Plug-ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home/bin/java nothing happens anymore.
    embarassing situation...

  • How come pages won't open PDF files made by Pages?

    How come pages won't open PDF files made by Pages?
    I have files I made with Pages and exported as PDF but I can't open them with pages to edit?
    Also, where are the recent files created by pages located? Can't find those to open either..

    Hi Tom,
    I was delighted when I signed up for Pages. Clunky yes, but it worked. I've been a graphic designer on a Mac for 25 plus years and have logged too many horror stories of "upgrade" wars which cost me massive lost time, data and money forcibly extracted just so I could finish a project.
    When I first used Pages in April of 2012? or there about, I was able to open Word documents exported to .pdf format, emailed to me, which I then dragged into Pages. I could make the changes I needed to make, export as a .pdf, return it back to my client which they could then edit on whatever it was they were using. I'm not a neophyte with this. I've had Original Photoshop as a stand alone, Quark (which locked users out 6 months after I purchased it.) Quark again, Freehand, Pagemaker, Illustrator, Photoshop again, Creative Suite for several upgrades, Acrobat Pro. 2 years ago I lost 6 years of Quicken data and had to and "upgrade" start over. This last go around I  had to "upgrade" my Apple ID - yes I had 2 on purpose, lost my Pandora One and my ability to get into the Tulsa County Library website.
    At this point, I'm retired and feel like what I've paid for in the past should WORK today. I have a 100+ page cookbook in Quark which I was able to export as a .pdf, that I've lost the tags too, Easier to start over. I have artwork that is hundreds of megs in Photoshop. Not the least bit interested in anybody's "cloud".
    Thanks for letting me vent. I'm determined to keep my equipment and software up to date so I can enjoy the skills I've acquired, but I completely cringe at Apple's antics. I truly hate it when I have to respond to some new "tip" or product offer. BooHiss. Happy Turkey Day. Pages is a "turkey" program.
    Best regards, mbd

  • Pages 5.1 won't open previous files in iCloud.

    Updated Pages today to 5.1. Now, when I open Pages and choose a file to open that is in iCould, the file won't open. Pages seems to open files on my Mac.
    Pages '09 won't open then files stored on iCould either. Pages 5.1 gives me an error message saying the file cannot be opened. Pages '09 gives no message; it just won't open the file.
    If I drag the file from the iCloud window in Pages to my desktop, the file will open. Looks like a bug to me.

    I'm having a similar problem.
    Running Pages 5.1 on my iMac and my MacBook Pro.
    I can't open any Pages document on iCloud from my iMac, regardless of where that document was originally created (iMac, MBP, or iPad). I have tried File -> Open File... from within Pages, as well as by double-clicking the file within the iCloud folder in Finder. However, I can copy the file to my desktop via Finder, and then open it from my desktop. I can create a file in Pages on my iMac and save it to iCloud, but then I can't open it later.
    However, I can open any Pages document on iCloud from my MacBook Pro without any problem - including the ones that won't open on the iMac.
